New Xtrackers ETFs from DWS reduce investment risks caused by the loss of biodiversity
November 6, 2023--DWS is expanding its range of sustainable investment products with three new Xtrackers ETFs. The listed index funds offer investors the opportunity to invest in companies in Europe, the US and worldwide that have a lower negative impact on the earth's ecosystems than the market average.
The Xtrackers Biodiversity Focus SRI UCITS ETFs for the US investment region and the global equity market were listed on the London Stock Exchange today, following the listing of all three ETFs on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 3 November.
Biodiversity, the diversity of life on earth, is of great importance not only from an ecological but also from an economic perspective. Studies estimate the global value of ecosystem services- i.e. the benefits that people derive from nature-at between USD 125 and 140 trillion per year.[1] The World Economic Forum predicts that the loss of biodiversity will have the third largest negative impact on humanity in the next ten years after climate change and extreme weather.[2]

Europe Must Succeed in Restoring Price Stability
October 13, 2023--Tighter monetary policy is starting to work. Alternatives would be more costly.
So far so good. These words are probably a fair assessment of Europe's progress thus far in its struggle against inflation. Policy interest rates have been raised resolutely, central banks have signaled commitment to keeping them high for as long as necessary, and inflation is down sharply from the double-digit highs of last year.
Underlying inflation, however, is proving more stubborn than headline inflation, which includes energy, food, and other more volatile items. Bringing it back to target, durably, remains a matter of urgency. Entrenched high inflation is distortionary. Moreover, prolonged inflation means prolonged high real interest rates, which would hurt private and public investment and therefore future growth.
