DWS cuts Xtrackers FTSE All-World ETF fee to 0.07%

DWS has lowered the annual all-in fee for its Xtrackers FTSE All-World UCITS ETF to 0.07%, effective 1 June 2026. The ETF tracks the FTSE All-World Index and provides exposure to roughly 4,200 large- and mid-cap companies across developed and emerging markets in a single fund. DWS wrote that the reduced charge makes the fund the most cost-efficient single-index route to global large- and mid-cap equities in terms of annual all-in fee and described the change as a way to enhance the ETF’s attractiveness as a core holding for broadly diversified global equity allocations. The FTSE All-World Index includes about 4,200 companies from more than 45 countries and is part of the FTSE Global Equity Index Series. DWS noted the index represents around 90–95% of the global investable market capitalisation, providing broad access to developed and emerging market stocks in one vehicle. The firm highlighted that broad global ETFs are commonly used in long-term savings plans and may be relevant for future government-subsidised retirement provision. DWS added that lower ongoing fees can affect how closely a portfolio mirrors equity market performance over long investment horizons. Simon Klein, Global Head of Xtrackers Sales at DWS, commented: “Investors should retain a greater share of the potential returns.”
