Xtrackers EASG becomes DMXU on a Bloomberg developed-ex-US index
DBX ETF Trust is lifting Xtrackers EASG into a standalone prospectus as DMXU effective September 14, 2026, on a Bloomberg developed-ex-US index, with the unitary advisory fee reduced to 0.03%.
The screened developed-international equity fund Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF DMXU becomes Xtrackers Bloomberg Developed Markets ex US Equity ETF DMXU on Monday, September 14. Holders keep the same shares of the same series. They no longer own an MSCI EAFE Selection tracker.
A prospectus supplement DBX ETF Trust filed Friday, September 11, says that as of Monday the series will change its investment strategy and its name and will no longer be offered by the combined prospectus dated December 19, 2025. A Rule 485(b) post-effective amendment filed the same day updates that combined book for the other series still in it. A separate prospectus, dated September 14, is the document for DMXU.
The Friday paper closes a notice that already went out. A July 1 supplement told holders the Board of Trustees had approved a proposal from DBX Advisors LLC: the new name, the new ticker, a new objective, and a new underlying index. The fund's investment objective and its 80% policies are not fundamental, so the Board can change them without a shareholder vote after at least 60 days' prior written notice. The July supplement was that notice.
From MSCI EAFE Selection to Bloomberg developed ex-US
DMXU has tracked the MSCI EAFE Selection Index. Under that mandate it has not invested in companies in alcohol, gambling, tobacco, nuclear power, fossil fuel extraction, thermal coal power, conventional weapons, nuclear weapons, controversial weapons and civilian firearms. The July supplement describes the new underlying index, the Bloomberg Developed Markets ex US Core Markets Index, as a free-float, market-cap-weighted benchmark of large- and mid-cap equities in developed markets outside the United States. The same description includes South Korea in that universe. The papers do not attach those sector exclusions to the new index.
The series had $67.9 million in assets as of Sunday, September 13. The Board on August 26 reduced the unitary advisory fee to 0.03% of average daily net assets from 0.14%, effective Monday. The current portfolio management team stays.
What DMXU holders hold after Monday
The papers describe a rename and a mandate change of an existing series, not a merger and not a new fund. They do not ask holders to tender or exchange shares. After Monday you still hold the same series under a new name and ticker, DMXU. It has a new index and a lower fee. The Selection screen is gone.
