Xtrackers ESG USD Emerging Markets Bond Quality Weighted UCITS ETF 1D (XQUA.DE) Alternatives

ETF · Currency in EUR · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

The Fund aims to reflect the performance of the Markit iBoxx USD Emerging Markets Sovereigns Quality Weighted Index (Index). The Index is designed to represent the performance of a range of US dollar (USD) currency denominated tradable debt (bonds) issued by governments or central banks in emerging market countries. Bonds issued by countries with favourable fundamental economic indicators will have higher representation in the Index compared to countries with weaker economic fundamental indicators. Bonds are only eligible for inclusion in the Index if they meet certain pre-determined selection and eligibility criteria. They must have a minimum rating of "B", when rated by only one rating agency, or a composite rating of "B" when rated by more than one rating agency. In particular, the Index represents bonds which pay either no interest or a pre-determined rate of interest.
