Xtrackers MSCI Korea UCITS ETF 1C (XKS2.L)
About this ETF
The MSCI Korea 20-35 Custom Index is engineered to mirror the performance of a select portion of the South Korean stock market. This includes major and mid-sized companies listed in the country, collectively representing roughly 85% of the available free-float market capitalization. While primarily weighted by the free-float adjusted market capitalization of its components, the index implements concentration restrictions: the largest single group entity is capped at 35%, and other individual constituents are limited to a 20% weight. A 10% buffer is incorporated into these limits during the index's regular quarterly rebalancing. Further details regarding the index's design, selection criteria, and weighting approach can be found on the MSCI website at https://www.msci.com.
