The Xtrackers MSCI World ESG UCITS ETF EUR – Hedged (XZWE) is expected to list on Xetra later this month with a total expense ratio of 0.25%.
XZBU tracks the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI USD Liquid Investment Grade Corporate Sustainable and SRI Index.
It offers exposure to over 1,000 USD investment-grade corporate bonds that comply with MSCI and Bloomberg Barclays ESG criteria.

This is comprised of global stocks that have high ESG performance and low carbon exposure compared to their sector peers.

This follows DWS’s ETF launch in June offering exposure to short-dated ESG corporate bonds.
