INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance of the Markit iBoxx EUR Sovereigns Eurozone Yield Plus 1-3 Index® (index).

DESCRIPTION OF INDEX:The index reflects the performance of tradable debt (bonds) issued by the 5 highest-yielding Eurozone countries with a remaining time to maturity of at least 1 year and up to 3 years and denominated in Euro, with the exception of the two countries with the highest GDP (as determined in October each year), unless one such country is the highest yielding Eurozone country at each monthly rebalancing of the index.

The highest yielding countries are determined by calculating the income return (yield) of a hypothetical bond with a maturity of exactly 5 years. To be included in the index, countries must, 5 days before the end of the relevant month, have at least two bonds in the 1 year - 10 year maturity band of the Markit iBoxx EUR universe. Issuers with a subinvestment grade rating are excluded from the index. The bonds issued by the top 5 countries which have a remaining time to maturity of 1-3 years are included in the index.

INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION:The index is calculated on a total return basis, which means that amounts equivalent to interest payments on the bonds are reinvested in the index. The index is administered by IHS Markit Benchmark Administration Limited and reviewed and rebalanced monthly.

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 derivatives. The fund may also engage in secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties 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 EUR. The fund distributes up to four times per annum. You may request the redemption of shares generally on a daily basis.
