Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF (EASG)

EASG was an exchange-traded fund from Xtrackers, the ETF brand of DWS Group. It held stocks of large and mid-sized companies in developed markets outside North America, the region known as EAFE (Europe, Australasia and the Far East). Rather than owning the whole market, it tracked an MSCI index that selected companies with stronger environmental, social and governance ratings. The goal was to keep sector and country weights close to the broad market while tilting toward higher-rated firms. Shares traded on NYSE Arca.

The fund launched in September 2018 as the Xtrackers MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Equity ETF. It was part of a wider push by DWS to build a suite of low-cost ESG index funds for U.S. investors. The fund later took the name Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF as MSCI and many sponsors moved away from ESG labels in fund names. Its ticker stayed EASG through those changes.

In September 2026 DWS converted the fund into a broad, low-cost international core product. Effective September 14, 2026, it became the Xtrackers Bloomberg Developed Markets ex US Equity ETF and switched to the ticker DMXU. The new index is the Bloomberg Developed Markets ex US Core Markets Index, which drops the ESG screening approach. The net expense ratio was set at 0.03%, placing it among the cheapest international equity ETFs.

Because this was a conversion of the same fund rather than a liquidation, shareholders kept their holdings without having to sell. The fund's inception date and history carry over to DMXU. Investors who followed EASG can now find the fund under its new name and ticker.
