INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:The fund aims to reflect the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI World Minimum Volatility Low Carbon SRI Screened Select Index (index).

DESCRIPTION OF INDEX:The index is based on the MSCI World Index (Parent Index) which is designed to reflect the performance of certain shares in large and medium listed companies in developed markets.

In order to be eligible for inclusion in the index, shares must be included as constituents within the Parent Index and must meet certain ESG criteria. ESG CRITERIA: The index excludes companies from the Parent Index which breach certain ESG standards, as disclosed in the prospectus and/or supplement. The ESG Criteria comprise the requirements as laid out in Article 12(1)(a) to (g) of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818 (PAB Exclusions). Securities from the Parent Index which pass the ESG criteria will constitute the eligible universe (Eligible Universe). The Index applies certain selection and weighting constraints relative to the Parent Index and the MSCI World Minimum Volatility (USD) Index which considers low volatility characteristics (factors) of the shares and compares those results to peer companies (for example, shares whose price varies significantly on a daily basis are considered to have higher volatility). Securities from the Eligible Universe are selected and weighted following an optimisation-based approach which are subject to (a) climate (such as minimum relative reductions in fossil fuel sector exposure and greenhouse gas, water emissions and hazardous waste intensity) and ESG objectives and (b) diversification and factor objectives in relation to for example, security, sector and country weights.

INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION:The index is administered by MSCI Limited. The index is calculated on a total return net basis which means that all dividends and distributions by the companies are reinvested in the shares after tax. The index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis. The index is calculated daily in USD.

INVESTMENT POLICY:To achieve the aim, the fund will attempt to replicate the index, before fees and expenses, by buying all or a substantial number of the securities in the index. The fund may employ techniques and instruments in order to manage risk, reduce costs and improve results. These techniques and instruments may include the use of financial contracts (derivatives). FURTHER INFORMATION: Certain information (including the latest share prices of the fund, indicative net asset values, full disclosure on the composition of the fund's portfolio and information on the index constituents) are available on your local DWS website or at www.Xtrackers.com. Transaction costs and taxes, unexpected fund costs and market conditions such as volatility or liquidity issues may affect the ability of the fund to track the index. The anticipated level of tracking error in normal market conditions is 1 per cent. The currency of the fund is USD. Returns and gains are not distributed but are reinvested in the fund. You may request the redemption of shares generally on a daily basis.
