Horizons DAX Germany ETF Slashes Fees by Over 50 Percent

Horizons ETFs Management (US) LLC ("Horizons US"), announced a reduced expense ratio for the Horizons DAX Germany ETF (Nasdaq: DAX) (“the fund”), from .45 percent to .20 percent. This 25 basis point reduction represents a 55 percent decrease, effective August 1, 2017.

The fund, launched in October 2014, is the only U.S.-listed ETF to track the DAX® Index, which contains shares of the 30 largest and most liquid companies on the German equities market. As of June 30, 2017, the fund has returned 15.07 percent year-to-date.

“Through the DAX ETF, investors across the board have access to what we believe to be the most promising economy in the Eurozone: Germany,” said Garrett Paolella, Managing Director at Horizons (US). “With low geopolitical risk and a strong, export-driven economy, Germany appears to represent the premier opportunity for those seeking international exposure, with DAX serving as a transparent, and now cost-effective, way to access that growth potential.”

This news comes on the heels of Horizons’ Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF (Nasdaq: QYLD) crossing $100 million in assets earlier this summer.

In addition to DAX and QYLD, Horizons offers a suite of ETFs including the BullMarkLatAm Select Leaders ETF (BMLA), Horizons S&P 500® Covered Call ETF (HSPX), and Horizons USA Managed Risk ETF (USMR).

Horizons US is a member of the Horizons Exchange Traded Funds Group, one of the largest collective families of ETFs in the world, with approximately $14.6 billion in assets under management.
