Two Deutsche X-trackers fixed-income ETFs yield accolades from ETF.com

Deutsche Asset Management (Deutsche AM) added to its award-winning line-up as two of its fixed-income exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were honored at the ETF.com Awards.

Deutsche X-trackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE Arca:HYLB) was crowned “Best New US Fixed-Income ETF” for 2016, for providing access to benchmark high yield bond exposure while being the most cost efficient high-yield ETF in the US.

In addition, Deutsche X-trackers Barclays International Corporate Bond Hedged ETF (Bats:IFIX) was named 2016’s “Best New International/Global Fixed-Income ETF”.

“Innovation has always been at the heart of the X-trackers platform, so we’re delighted to have been recognized in the 'Best New' category, with two funds that are especially relevant to investors in today’s rising rates environment,” said Fiona Bassett, Head of Passive Asset Management in the Americas. “HYLB provides access to pure high-yield beta exposure, while the currency hedging aspect of IFIX allows investors an opportunity to preserve the reliable sources of stable and consistent cash flow typically associated with bond investments.”

The winners were selected by the ETF.com Awards Selection Committee, a group of independent ETF experts.

RISKS: Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in US 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. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Uncertainties in the Chinese tax rules governing taxation of income and gains from investments in A-shares could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund which may reduce Fund returns. Any reduction or elimination of access to A-shares will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the fund to achieve its investment objective. Special risks associated with investments in Chinese companies include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards the nature and extent of intervention by the Chinese government in the Chinese securities markets, and the potential unavailability of A shares. Performance of a Fund may diverge from that of an Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. There are additional risks associated with investing in high-yield bonds, aggressive growth stocks, non-diversified/concentrated funds and small- and mid-cap stocks which are more fully explained in the prospectuses, as applicable. An investment in any 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.
