INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:The aim is for your investment to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI World Low Carbon SRI Selection Index (index).

DESCRIPTION OF INDEX:The index is based on the MSCI World Index (Parent Index). The index includes companies from the Parent Index which display high environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance relative to their peers.

ESG CRITERIA: Constituent selection is based on three sets of rules: Firstly, the Low Carbon Transition Risk Assessment Rules and High ESG Performance Selection Rules are applied simultaneously, followed by the Low Carbon Emissions Rules. The index targets companies with high ESG Ratings relative to sector peers by targeting 50% of the market cap within each sector of the Parent Index, with the remaining stocks excluded (effectively a “best-inclass” approach). The ESG Criteria comprise the PAB Exclusions. Remaining securities are then weighted by their market cap and are subject to a relative weight cap against their weight in the Parent Index. ESG CRITERIA LIMITATIONS: The company is solely relying on the activities conducted and information provided by the index administrator for the ESG screening. ESG information may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable and the index administrator may incorrectly assess, include or exclude, a security or issuer.

INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION: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 reviewed and rebalanced on a quarterly basis. The index is calculated in US Dollars on a daily basis.

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. The fund distributes up to four times per annum. You may request the redemption of shares generally on a daily basis.
