INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:The aim is for your investment to track the performance of the MSCI Japan Select Screened Index (index), while seeking to minimise foreign currency fluctuations at share class level.

DESCRIPTION OF INDEX:The index is based on the MSCI Japan Index (Parent Index), which is designed to reflect the performance of the shares of large and medium capitalisation companies in Japan.

In order to be eligible for inclusion in the index, companies must be eligible for inclusion in the Parent Index and must meet certain ESG screening criteria. The index is administered by MSCI Limited. ESG CRITERIA: Securities which breach certain ESG standards, as disclosed in the prospectus and/or supplement, are excluded. The index also includes a carbon emission reduction rule, whereby if having applied the above exclusions, the Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) intensity of the index has been insufficiently reduced compared to the Parent Index, constituents are excluded by descending order of GHG intensity until a relevant reduction threshold is achieved. The remaining securities are then weighted by their free-float adjusted market capitalisation and are also subject to certain sector weight adjustments.

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 on a quarterly basis. The index is calculated in Japanese Yen on a daily basis.

INVESTMENT POLICY:To achieve the aim, the fund will i) attempt to replicate the index, before fees and expenses, by buying all or a substantial number of the securities in the index and ii) enter into financial contracts (derivatives) which attempt to reduce the effect of exchange rate fluctuations between the currency of the fund's assets and the currency of your shares.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). The fund may also engage in secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties subject to certain ESG criteria to generate additional income to offset the costs of the fund. 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 JPY. Returns and gains are not distributed but are reinvested in the fund. You may request the redemption of shares generally on a daily basis.

this share class is hedged to USD; the index the issuer places next to it in its documents is the unhedged, foreign-currency version. Subtracting one from the other does not measure replication quality: it measures the exchange rate. In a year when the currency moves 5%, “the TD” would come out near 5 points — a plausible-looking number, with decimals, and wrong.

Other sites publish that number. We would rather show one figure less than one figure wrong: the TD will return here the day we have the USD-hedged index series, which the issuer does not publish today.
