INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:The aim is for your investment to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI World Small Cap Low Carbon SRI Screened Select Index (index). DESCRIPTION OF THE INDEX: The index is based on the MSCI World Small Cap Index (Parent Index) and is designed to reflect the performance of small capitalisation companies across global developed markets, which meet certain minimum environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.

ESG CRITERIA: Securities from the Parent Index which pass the ESG screening criteria, as disclosed in the prospectus and/or supplement, will constitute the eligible universe (Eligible Universe). The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Intensity Reduction Criteria is then applied to the Eligible Universe to exclude additional securities until the relevant GHG intensity reduction is achieved relative to the Parent Index. 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”). After the ESG Exclusion and GHG Intensity Reduction Criteria are applied, the remaining securities are weighted in proportion of their free float-adjusted market capitalization.

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 reviewed and rebalanced at least quarterly and may also be rebalanced at other times in order to reflect corporate activity such as mergers and acquisitions or based on certain changes to issuers' ESG metrics. The index is calculated in USD on a daily basis.

INVESTMENT POLICY:To achieve the aim, the fund will attempt to replicate the index, before fees and expenses, by buying a portfolio of securities that may comprise the constituents of the index or other unrelated investments as determined by DWS entities.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).
