The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

The fund is passively managed.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI GCC Countries ex Select Securities Index (index) which is designed to reflect the performance of the shares of companies based in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
DESCRIPTION OF INDEX:A company’s weighting in the index depends on its relative size based on the combined value of a company’s readily available shares as compared to other companies.
Keep reading the KID section ▾
MSCI Inc. (index administrator) may exclude certain securities from time to time on the basis that they may have restrictions on foreign ownership.
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.
INVESTMENT POLICY:To achieve the aim, the fund will invest in transferable securities and enter into financial contracts (derivatives) with one or more swap counterparties relating to the transferable securities and the index, in order to obtain the return on the index. 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.

Drawdown — distance from previous peak

This isn’t the return: it shows how far the fund is below its previous peak. 0% = you’re at the peak; below zero = how much you’re down and haven’t recovered yet.

From month-end NAVs, over the fund’s full history, on the series shown in the chart (dividends reinvested where declared). Deeper colour = larger move.

Source: Xtrackers. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available July 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.

Tracking difference — fund vs index

How much the fund returned above (+) or below (−) its index, year by year. It measures the actual deviation: the combined effect of costs (TER and transaction), securities-lending revenue and replication optimisations — which is why it can beat the TER. Tracking difference was positive in 0 of the last 10 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.
