"Xtrackers FTSE Developed Europe Real Estate UCITS ETF 1C" is an exchange-traded investment fund (ETF). It refers to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Europe Real Estate Index. This index reflects the development of 100 European stocks and is therefore relatively well diversified. The ETF replicates its index using full physical replication, so it contains all the securities of its reference index. The ETF's earnings (dividends) are automatically reinvested (accumulated). The fund company Xtrackers claims a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.33% per year. The yearly average divergence from the index performance (Tracking Difference) since 2011 was -0.02% per year. Therefore, the ETF was less expensive than the TER suggests and even exceeded the index performance.
