Xtrackers II sets 19 August 2026 ex-dividend date for multiple bond UCITS ETFs

Xtrackers II, the Luxembourg-domiciled investment company managed by DWS Group, issued a corrected dividend announcement covering 27 share classes across its fixed-income UCITS ETF range after withdrawing an earlier release published at 09:38 BST on August 4. The funds will trade ex-dividend on 19 August 2026, shareholders of record on 20 August will receive payments on 3 September, and the board described the filing as a preliminary declaration without disclosing per-share amounts in the corrected notice. The schedule spans a broad set of bond strategies, including euro high-yield corporate debt, China government bonds, emerging-market sovereign and local-currency debt, sterling overnight rate swaps, US Treasuries across several maturity buckets, Eurozone government bonds, global government and inflation-linked bonds, ESG bond funds, and sukuk exposure. Dividends will be paid by bank transfer to registered shareholders, while holdings through settlement systems will be credited to participants' cash accounts under the relevant procedures. The company said no action is required from shareholders and advised investors to seek professional guidance, particularly on tax treatment. A separate disclosure from Irish-domiciled Xtrackers (IE) PLC on Monday covered a different group of equity and fixed-income ETFs under an earlier distribution cycle, with an ex-dividend date of May 20, record date of May 21, and payment date of June 3.
