Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management alters ETF product line and enhances Swedish offering
Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management alters ETF product line and enhances Swedish offering Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management (Deutsche AWM) is altering its exchange-traded fund (ETF) line up on the Nasdaq Stockholm by de-listing certain funds while rolling out a suite of new offerings.
Ten db X-trackers ETFs will be de-listed from the Stockholm market while seven new listings will take place with a view to offering investors a broad range of international equity exposures, spanning both developed and emerging equity markets, as well as single countries. Dividend and small cap strategies for selected developed markets will also be offered. Additional ETFs from Deutsche AWMs Core-ETFs range will also be added to the product suite.
Those ETFs that are de-listing in Stockholm will continue to be listed on exchanges elsewhere in Europe. Following the changes, Deutsche AWM will continue to be the biggest ETF manager locally based on number of listed ETFs.
“We first listed ETFs on the Nasdaq OMX in 2010 and our continuing commitment to the local market is reflected in the enhanced product line-up. Our strategy is to deliver relevant international equity exposure locally, so investors in the region can use our ETFs as building blocks for cost-effective and diversified portfolios,” said Erik Rotander, Head of Nordics, Passive Investments, at Deutsche AWM.
Deutsche AWM’s European-listed db X-trackers ETFs have generated almost EUR 8 billion of inflows year-to-date (Source: Deutsche AWM, 13 August, 2015). This follows the successful move to become one of the Europe’s leading providers of physical ETFs following a programme of switching replication strategy on some of its largest funds by assets under management.
A table of db X-trackers ETFs that will constitute the new Nasdaq Stockholm-listed product suite – including ETFs due to list – is below, as well as a list of those ETFs de-listing. A Q&A on the alteration of the product line-up is available at www.etf.deutscheawm.com

Key risks
Investors should note that the db X-trackers UCITS ETFs are not capital protected or guaranteed and investors should be prepared and able to sustain losses of the capital invested up to a total loss.
Shares in db X-trackers UCITS ETFs which are purchased on the secondary market cannot usually be sold directly back to the relevant fund. Investors must purchase and redeem such shares on the secondary market with the assistance of an intermediary (e.g. a market maker or a stock broker) and may incur fees for doing so (as further described in the applicable prospectus). In addition, investors may pay more than the current net asset value of a share in a db X-trackers UCITS ETF when buying shares on the secondary market, and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling such shares on the secondary market.
Investments in funds involve numerous risks including, among others, general market risks, credit risks, foreign exchange risks, interest rate risks and liquidity risks. The value of an investment in a db X-trackers UCITS ETF may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount of their original investment.
• Global crypto asset adoption rates are significantly higher than previously estimated.
• The data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.
• Chances are that the growth of adoption will surprise to the upside due to the fact that we are most likely at the inflection point from ”Early Adopters” to ”Early Majority”.
Trump recently made a public statement implying that 50 million Americans already held ”crypto”. The most recent surveys among US consumers seem to support this number.
It is no surprise that cryptoassets have become a major topic during the US presidential election as the parties have become increasingly aware that cryptoasset users could play a significant role at the ballot.
Both Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. are scheduled to deliver a pro-Bitcoin speech at the upcoming Bitcoin conference in Nashville over the weekend.
It seems as if cryptoasset users are not a small minority anymore that can be ignored.
Here are some recent US bitcoin and crypto adoption surveys for comparison (% of total population in brackets):
• Security.org: 93 mn (28%)
• Unchained: 86 mn (26%)
• Statista: 53.6 mn (16%)
• Morning Consult: 44.2 mn (13%)
• Finder: 38.4 mn (11%)
In general, cryptoasset adoption has been on the rise globally.
A recent global survey among institutional investors conducted by Fidelity even implies that 51% of surveyed institutional investors have already invested into cryptoassets such as Bitcoin.
Another recent consumer survey by Statista implies that approximately every 5th person (21%) worldwide has already invested into cryptoassets.
However, it’s important to highlight that among the top 10 regions with the highest adoption rates, 8 regions are developing countries.
So, cryptoasset adoption rates are even significantly higher among developing countries than in developed countries that often suffer from chronically high inflation rates and weak domestic currencies.
That being said, the data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.
The reason is that technological adoption in general tends to accelerate at the threshold from the so-called “early adopters” to the “early majority” which is around 16% adoption rate based on the model of technological adoption famously put forth by Rogers (1962).
Global adoption rates are already at 21% while adoption rates in the US and Europe are at around 16% and 14%, respectively. So, there is a strong case for an acceleration of adoption rates in these regions and globally over the coming years.
Recent political developments in the US also imply that Bitcoin and cryptoassets are gradually becoming mainstream.
Trump has recently endorsed domestic Bitcoin mining in the US and both Democrats and Republicans have started accepting crypto payments for campaign financing.
The big success of the spot Bitcoin ETFs this year and the fact that additional types of spot crypto ETFs are being launched marks a significant shift in sentiment among US regulators in this regard.
In short, chances are that the growth of adoption will surprise to the upside due to the fact that we are most-likely at the inflection point from ”Early Adopters” to ”Early Majority”.
Bottom Line
• Global crypto asset adoption rates are significantly higher than previously estimated.
• The data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.
• Chances are that the growth of adoption will surprise to the upside due to the fact that we are most likely at the inflection point from ”Early Adopters” to ”Early Majority”.
