The range of sectors, which include energy, information technology and healthcare, use synthetic replication methods to track the relevant indices and are 100% collateralised. Deutsche Bank will act as the swap counterparty for each ETF.
Listed on the London Stock Exchange, the funds each have a total expense ratio of 0.65%.
