- Xtrackers by DWS creates an ETF providing dynamic exposure
between high yield bonds and cash equivalent investments - Tracking
the Adaptive Wealth Strategies Risk Managed High Yield Index -
Daily allocation algorithm uses market signals to control for
risk
Xtrackers by DWS has launched an ETF providing dynamic
risk-controlled exposure to US dollar high-yield corporate
bonds.
Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF (NYSE: HYRM)
tracks the Adaptive Wealth Strategies Risk Managed High Yield
Index, which uses a daily algorithm to dynamically adjust exposure
between bonds and cash equivalent investments. It is designed to
track the performance of the US dollar-denominated high yield
corporate bond market during normal market conditions, and the
performance of a US dollar cash position (accruing interest at the
Effective Federal Funds Rate) during periods of adverse market
conditions.
The Underlying Index uses a rules-based allocation mechanism to
allocate between either 100% exposure to the Solactive USD High
Yield Corporates Total Market Index or 100% exposure to the
Solactive Fed Funds Effective Rate Total Return Index, based on
quantitative market risk signals derived from measurements of price
changes in the market (see Notes to Editors).
“HYRM may be an interesting way for investors to gain exposure
to the USD high yield bond market with a built-in risk-management
process,” said Michael Curtis, Head of US Passive Product.
“Downside, or drawdown risks, are a key factor when allocating to
high yield bonds, which the allocation mechanism of HYRM’s
underlying index seeks to address effectively.”
The launch of this product is yet another example of Xtrackers’
continued partnership and collaboration with its key relationships
with US and global investors to bring innovative products to market
that serve as useful investment solutions.
“We are excited to see the continued development of Adaptive
Wealth Strategies Indexes into the fixed income markets,” said
Patrick Bobbins, CFA®, CIMA® of NorthCrest Asset Management*. “We
appreciate the opportunity to partner with DWS Xtrackers on this
risk-managed high yield strategy, and bringing our third index to
market.”
The ETF has a gross/net expense ratio of 0.45%/0.30% and is
designed to utilize investments in other Xtrackers ETFs in order to
gain exposure to USD high yield bonds, in particular Xtrackers USD
High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE: HYLB).
DWS offers a suite of six high yield bond ETFs (NYSE: HYLB,
HYUP, HYDW, SHYL, ESHY and HYRM), with approximately $7.5 billion
in assets under management that use rules-based methodologies to
provide exposure to different levels of credit and interest rate
risk. This includes Xtrackers Low Beta1 High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE:
HYDW), which targets higher quality issuers that may display
relatively low volatility compared with the broad market, and which
in recent weeks broke through the USD 1 billion in assets under
management threshold.
Notes to Editors
Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF (NYSE: HYRM)
tracks the Adaptive Wealth Strategies Risk Managed High Yield
Index. The index has a dynamic, rules-based allocation mechanism,
which allocates fully between a “risky” asset and a “risk-free”
asset based on market risk signals. The index aims to allocate to
the risky asset when market risk is considered relatively low and
to allocate to the risk-free asset when market risk is considered
to be relatively high.
On each business day, the weight of the risky asset is
determined by two signals derived from the Cboe Volatility Index2
(the VIX) and a trend-following momentum indicator called Moving
Average Convergence Divergence measurement. Each signal has an
equal vote (1) for market exit. Each signal will vote one (1) if it
triggers a market exit and zero (0) if otherwise. The total exit
vote is equal to the sum of all signal exit votes. If the total
exit vote is larger than or equal to one (1) then market exit is
deemed favorable. The weight is equal to exit vote decision unless
it is locked from changing. Once a decision to enter or exit has
been made, the position is locked into that decision for 10 days.
The weight becomes effective 4 trading days after it is
calculated.

HYRM - Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield ETF - Bond
investments are subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity and
market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond
prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an
issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Foreign
investing involves greater and different risks than investing in
U.S. companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity,
less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of
comprehensive company information, political instability and
differing auditing and legal standards. Funds investing in a single
industry (or group of industries), country or in a limited
geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified
funds. Investments in lower-quality ("junk bonds") and non-rated
securities present greater risk of loss than investments in
higher-quality securities. Performance of the Fund may diverge from
that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction
costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational
inefficiencies. An investment in this fund should be considered
only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those
investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund.
Please read the prospectus for more information.
