Investors looking for direct DAX exposure can consider the Recon Capital DAX Germany ETF (NasdaqGM: DAX). With its heavy tilt toward large, multi-national companies, the DAX index benefited earlier in 2015 from a depreciating euro currency. A weaker euro would help support export growth and potentially generate greater revenue from overseas operations for the multi-nationals. DAX, the ETF, is the only U.S.-listed ETF that is a pure DAX index tracking fund. [A Rush to Europe ETFs]
The DAX is Germany’s benchmark equity index. The Deutsche X-trackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity Fund (NYSEArca: DBGR) is another currency hedged ETF investors can consider. That ETF has surged more than 6% over the past week.
German stocks “look like a really good value. They’ve been beaten up because of concerns around Europe, and that’s the one area we like within Europe,” said Gibbs in the CNBC interview.
