There were no changes to the suite of DWS models this week, so we’ll look at the Xtrackers FTSE Developed Ex US Multifactor ETF (DEEF). DEEF has had a strong 2025 with a year-to-date gain of 20.47% and maintains a strong 4.14 fund score. DEEF trades on four consecutive buy signals and has pulled back to more actionable territory in recent weeks with a current weekly overbought/oversold reading of -42%. Along with a strong year-to-date return and fund score, DEEF offers a yield of 3.40% which makes it a viable option for those looking for growth and income. While international equities aren’t leading domestic equities by as much as they were earlier in the year, international equities still offer solid technical pictures that can benefit portfolios. For those looking for broad exposure to developed markets with some yield, DEEF is strong option.

The table below is a review of important technical data on a select group of DWS Xtrackers ETFs. Significant changes within the past week are highlighted in Green if positive or Red if negative. This portfolio is designed to be used as a "radar" screen to bring your attention to potentially important technical changes that may require your attention and potential action. When evaluating the Fund Score, the strongest issues have scores of 4 or higher while those ETFs with scores below a 3 are no longer considered solid citizens.

The ETFs with the most relative strength buy signals (suggesting outperformance) versus the others in the group are listed at the top. These ETFs should be overweighted in the portfolio. Those ETFs with the least amount of relative strength buy signals versus the others in the group are listed at the bottom. These ETFs should be underweighted in the portfolio.
