Xtrackers by DWS Repositions Equity ETF to Provide Access to Large U.S. Companies with Reduced Dependence on Big Tech
February 12, 2026--DWS, a leading European asset manager with global reach, today announced the repositioning and renaming of one of its equity ETFs: The Xtrackers S&P 500 Value Scored & Screened ETF has become the Xtrackers S&P 100 Ex Top 20 ETF (CBOE: XOEX) (the "Fund"). As part of its repositioning, the Fund has changed its underlying index and now tracks the S&P 100 Ex-Top 20 Select Index.
The S&P 100 Ex-Top 20 Select Index is designed to measure the capped market capitalization weighted performance of companies in the S&P 100, excluding the largest 20 companies ranked by float-adjusted market capitalization. The exclusion of the top 20 companies results in a "Next 80" exposure that remains rooted in large-cap, blue-chip stocks from a diverse range of industries.

White, Chief Economist and Director of the SEC’s Division of Economic and Risk Analysis. "Active ETFs, while still a smaller segment of the market, are growing rapidly and now rival passive funds in number, reflecting a shift toward more actively managed strategies. At the same time, our research shows that fund mergers can deliver meaningful fee reductions for investors.
