(XUTD) Xtrackers II US Treasuries - Ratings and Ratios

The Xtrackers II US Treasuries UCITS ETF 1D (XETRA:XUTD) is designed to track the performance of the IBOXX $ TREASURIES index, which represents the US governments tradable debt denominated in USD. The index includes bonds with a minimum maturity of 18 months at issuance and at least one year remaining at rebalancing, with a minimum outstanding amount of $1 billion.

To achieve its objective, the fund replicates the index by holding a substantial number of bonds in the same proportion as the index, as determined by Deutsche Asset Management (UK) Limited. The index is calculated on a total return basis, reinvesting interest payments. With an AUM of $724.28M EUR, this ETF provides a liquid and diversified exposure to US government bonds.

From a technical analysis perspective, the ETFs price is currently at 164.49, with a 20-day SMA at 166.47 and a 50-day SMA at 168.20, indicating a potential downtrend. The 200-day SMA at 175.40 suggests a longer-term bearish trend. The ATR of 0.84 (0.51%) indicates relatively low volatility. Key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor include the ETFs tracking error, expense ratio, and dividend yield. A tracking error below 0.05% is considered acceptable, while an expense ratio below 0.20% is desirable.

Investors should also consider the ETFs liquidity, with an average daily trading volume that can support their investment needs. Additionally, the funds credit quality is backed by the US governments creditworthiness, with a AAA rating. Overall, XUTD can be a suitable investment for those seeking exposure to US government bonds, but investors should carefully evaluate the ETFs performance and KPIs before making a decision.
