To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)

 

 

Dear shareholder,

We are pleased to provide this annual report for four of our equity ETFs for the period ended August 31, 2022.

The global economy slowed down as high inflation with soaring energy and food prices, fueled by Russia’s military invasion on Ukraine, rising interest rates, supply chain disruptions and COVID-19-led lockdowns took a heavy toll on the markets. Higher-than-expected inflation in most parts of the world was pronounced particularly in developed economies like the US and Europe. The global output contracted in the second quarter of the year, with major economies reeling under inflationary pressure. China’s slowdown was spurred by a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, strict lockdowns, and negative spillovers from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Amid fears of a global economic recession, central banks implemented aggressive monetary policies as a measure to curb high inflation.

U.S. equities witnessed heightened volatility in 2022 amid a slowdown in economic growth, weakness in consumer confidence and a less favorable long-term economic outlook. High inflation readings, tepid personal consumption expenditure, supply chain disruptions, the Federal Reserve’s aggressive monetary policy and impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war weighed on market sentiments. Central bank officials incrementally raised rates in each of their meetings from 25 to 75 basis points1 (bps) as inflation jumped to its highest level in 40 years. The 75-bps rate hike in July 2022 for a second successive month marked the fastest pace of policy tightening in the past four decades. However, healthy corporate earnings results, a robust job market and strong labor force participation were some of the positives during the reporting period.

The Eurozone was mired in high inflation, rising interest rates and supply chain disruptions, fueled by the Russia-Ukraine war. However, the region sustained its growth in Q2 2022, supported by the easing out of COVID-19 restrictions and the summer tourism season in southern countries. Italy and Spain, the Eurozone’s third and fourth largest economies, respectively, were the major contributors to growth, while the bloc’s largest economy, Germany stalled. France, Eurozone’s second-largest economy posted growth, backed by a positive contribution from net trade, as exports grew. The import reduction of oil and gas from Russia raised gas and commodity prices in Europe, leading to higher inflation and a bearing on the overall demand environment. Although the labor market remained robust, consumer confidence dipped significantly. In line with many central banks, the European Central Bank (ECB) raised interest rates by 50 bps in July 2022 — its first-rate hike in more than a decade — to prevent high inflation. Furthermore, the ECB approved the Transmission Protection Instrument mechanism for the smooth transmission of its monetary policy across all euro area countries.

The UK economy witnessed a slowdown in GDP growth, as household spending and business activity were hit by rising inflation levels. The Bank of England raised the interest rate in a similar move with the central banks of other countries. The employment market remains strong with the unemployment rate falling to pre-pandemic levels. Japan’s economy faced a resurgence in COVID-19 cases amid persistent supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressure.

The war in Ukraine is expected to contribute to a significant slowdown in global economic growth in 2022 and add to inflation. Central banks across the world are likely to maintain a hawkish stance, as controlling high inflation has become the primary objective. Consumer confidence has remained weak owing to a less favorable long-term economic outlook and as a fragmented recovery is anticipated. Investors would need to keep an eye on potential sanctions on Russian energy by the European Union, as any further supply crunch on oil and gas could sustain the record-high inflation rates.

Our team appreciates your trust and looks forward to serving your investment needs through innovative index-driven strategies.

Sincerely,

/s/ Freddi Klassen

Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex-US Multifactor Factor ETF

The Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex-US Multifactor Factor ETF (DEEF) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE Developed ex-US Comprehensive Factor Index (the DEEF Index). The DEEF Index is designed to track the equity market performance of companies in developed countries (except the United States) selected on the investment style criteria (“factors”) of value, momentum, quality, low volatility and size. The companies eligible for the DEEF Index are derived from its starting universe, the FTSE Developed ex US Index, which is comprised of large- and mid-capitalization equity securities from developed markets (except the United States). For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2022, DEEF shares returned -19.75%, compared to the DEEF Index return of -19.42%.

All sectors contributed negatively to performance during the period with the Industrials, Materials, and Real Estate sectors detracting the most from performance. From a geographical perspective, Israel, Singapore, and Canada were the major positive contributors, while Japan, Great Britain, and Sweden contributed negatively to performance.

Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF (DEEF)

Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF (the “Fund”), using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE Developed ex US Comprehensive Factor Index (the “Underlying Index”). The Underlying Index is designed to track the equity market performance of companies in developed countries (except the United States) selected on the investment style criteria (“factors”) of value, momentum, quality, low volatility and size.

1 Total returns are calculated based on the commencement of operations, November 24, 2015 (“Inception”).

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.Xtrackers.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares or redemption of fund creation units. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are sold in the market or redeemed. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of the unitary advisory fee. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower. The gross expense ratio of the Fund, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated December 17, 2021, was 0.35%, and may differ from the expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights table in this report.

The Fund’s net asset value or “NAV” is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.

Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF (DEUS)

Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF (the “Fund”), using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Russell 1000 Comprehensive Factor Index (the “Underlying Index”). The Underlying Index is designed to track the equity market performance of companies in the United States selected on the investment style criteria (“factors”) of value, momentum, quality, low volatility and size. The companies eligible for the Underlying Index are derived from its starting universe, the Russell 1000 Index, which is comprised of large-cap equity securities from issuers in the United States. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.Xtrackers.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares or redemption of fund creation units. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are sold in the market or redeemed. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment management fees. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower. The estimated operating expense ratio as disclosed in the most recent prospectus dated December 17, 2021, was 0.17%, and may differ from the expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights table in this report.

The Fund’s net asset value or “NAV” is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period the Funds limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples in the tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2022 to August 31, 2022).

Actual expenses

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses (which is not the Funds’ actual return). The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. Organization

DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

As of August 31, 2022, the Trust consists of thirty-five investment series of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:

 

Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF
Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF

Xtrackers Russell 1000 US Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF

Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS Group”), serves as investment advisor to the Funds and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”).

Each Fund offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares, except for Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF which lots consist of 10,000 shares effective February 24, 2022, each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds, and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Funds, or tender such shares for redemption to the Funds, in Creation Units only.

The investment objective of each Fund is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the “Underlying Index”). The underlying indices for the Funds are:

 

Fund

 

Underlying Index

Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF   FTSE Developed ex US Comprehensive Factor Index
Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF   MSCI Kokusai Index

Xtrackers Russell 1000 US Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF

 

Russell 1000 2Qual/Val 5% Capped Factor Index

Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF   Russell 1000 Comprehensive Factor Index

The FTSE Developed ex US Comprehensive Factor is designed to track the equity market performance of companies in developed countries (except the United States) selected on the investment style criteria (“factors”) of value, momentum, quality, low volatility and size. The companies eligible for the Underlying Index are derived from its starting universe, the FTSE Developed ex US Index, which is comprised of large- and mid-capitalization equity securities from developed markets (except the United States). The Underlying Index is rebalanced semiannually in March and September after the close of business on the third Friday of the review month.

The MSCI Kokusai Index, also known as the MSCI World ex Japan Index, is designed to track the performance of equity markets in developed markets (excluding Japan). The index is reviewed quarterly in February, May, August and November, with the objective of reflecting change in the underlying equity markets in a timely manner, while limiting undue index turnover. During the May and November semi-annual index reviews, the index is rebalanced and the large and mid capitalization cutoff points are recalculated.

The Russell 1000 2Qual/Val 5% Capped Factor Index is designed to track the equity market performance of companies in the United States selected on the investment style criteria (“factors”) of quality and value. The companies eligible for the Underlying Index are derived from its starting universe, the Russell 1000 Index, which is comprised of large-cap equity securities from issuers in the United States. The Underlying Index is rebalanced annually in June after the close of business on the third Friday of the review month. Upon a rebalancing, no issuer in the Underlying Index may represent more than 5% of the Underlying Index. In the event an issuer represents more than 5% of the Underlying Index at a rebalancing, such amount in excess of 5% shall be reallocated pro-rata to the other issuers in the Underlying Index.

The Russell 1000 Comprehensive Factor Index is designed to track the equity market performance of companies in the United States selected on the investment style criteria (“factors”) of value, momentum, quality, low volatility and size.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

The companies eligible for the Underlying Index are derived from its starting universe, the Russell 1000 Index, which is comprised of large-cap equity securities from issuers in the United States. The Underlying Index is rebalanced semiannually in June and December after the close of business on the third Friday of the review month.

Each Fund is entitled to use its respective Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.

Each Fund, except Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF is diversified. Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF is non-diversified and is not limited by the Act with regard to the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. This means the securities of a particular issuer (or securities of issuers in particular industries) may dominate the Underlying Index of the Fund and, consequently, the Fund’s investment portfolio. This may adversely affect the Fund’s performance or subject the Fund’s shares to greater price volatility than that experienced by more diversified investment companies. Each Fund may change its diversification status over time and then change it back again, without shareholder approval, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index each Fund tracks.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation    The NAV of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

The Funds’ Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor’s Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

Equity securities and ETFs are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade. Securities or ETFs for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation. Equity securities and ETFs are generally categorized as Level 1.

Corporate and sovereign debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services approved by the Pricing Committee. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, obtained from broker-dealers. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2.

 

64


DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are categorized as Level 1.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Funds’ valuation procedures, factors considered in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities); an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements; an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold; and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Cash    Cash consists of cash held at banks and is on deposit with major financial institutions.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income    Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the identified cost-method. Dividend income is net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions received from foreign domiciled corporations, generally determined to be passive foreign investment companies for tax reporting purposes, are included in dividend income.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders    It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of each Fund to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors quarterly. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Funds reserve the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the year within the components of net assets based on their federal tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements regarding accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on foreign, federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

At August 31, 2022, for Federal income tax purposes, the Funds have capital loss carryforwards available as shown in the table below, to the extent provided by regulations, to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. To the extent that these loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the capital gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

Foreign Taxes    The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, capital gains on investments, certain foreign currency transactions or other corporate events. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in their Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories, and deferred foreign taxes on unrealized gains are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of August 31, 2022, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translations    The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the acquisition and disposition of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included with net realized and unrealized gain/appreciation and loss/depreciation on investments.

Securities Lending    The Funds may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of their securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans, the Funds continue to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the year ended August 31, 2022, the Funds invested the cash collateral into a joint trading account in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, an affiliated money market fund managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.06% annualized effective rate as of August 31, 2022) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Funds are not able to recover securities lent, the Funds may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Funds are also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

Derivatives

Futures Contracts    Each Fund may enter into futures contracts. These futures contracts will be used to simulate investment in the respective Underlying Index, to facilitate trading or to reduce transaction costs. Each Fund will enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. No Fund will use futures for speculative purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific instrument or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. For the year ended August 31, 2022, Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF, Xtrackers Russell 1000 US Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF and Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.

At the time each Fund enters into a futures contract, each Fund deposits and maintains as collateral an initial margin with the broker, as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, each Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for exchange-traded futures contracts is generally less than privately negotiated futures contracts, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded future, provides a guarantee of performance. The guarantee is supported by a daily payment system (i.e., margin requirements).

Use of long futures contracts subjects each Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects each Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

A summary of the open futures contracts as of August 31, 2022 is included in a table following the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

money market fund in which they invest. The Advisor will waive an amount of the unitary advisory fee payable to the Advisor by the Funds equal to such acquired fund’s fees and expenses on the Funds’ assets invested in the affiliated money market funds.

3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Advisor has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Under an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Advisor is responsible for arranging sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration, and all other non-distribution related services for the Funds to operate.

For its investment advisory services to the Funds below, the Advisor is entitled to receive a unitary advisory fee from each Fund based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to:

The Advisor for Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF has contractually agreed, until December 16, 2022, to waive a portion of its unitary advisory fee to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, taxes, brokerage expenses, distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.24% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended August 31, 2022, the Advisor waived $75,805 of expenses to the Fund.

The Advisor for the Funds below has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its unitary advisory fee in an amount equal to the acquired fund’s fees and expenses attributable to the Funds’ investments in affiliated Funds. For the year ended August 31, 2022, the Advisor waived expenses of the Funds as follows:

Out of the unitary advisory fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of each Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, and expenses of the Independent Trustees. Each Fund is responsible for the payment of interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, brokerage expenses, distribution fees or expenses, if any, litigation expenses and extraordinary expenses.

The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as Administrator, Custodian, Accounting Agent, Lending Agent and Transfer Agent for each Fund.

ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund on an agency basis. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Funds.

The Board of Trustees is currently comprised of three Independent Trustees. The Advisor paid retainer fees and attendance fees to each Independent Trustee; retainer fees to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chairman of the Audit Committee; and attendance fees to each member of the Audit Committee (which is comprised of all of the Funds’ Independent Trustees).

5. Fund Share Transactions

As of August 31, 2022 there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities included in the respective Fund’s Underlying Index and an amount of cash, which under certain circumstances may include cash in lieu of portfolio securities. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

6. Other — COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has caused significant uncertainty, market volatility, decreased economic and other activity, increased government activity, including economic stimulus measures, and supply chain interruptions. The full effects, duration and costs of the COVID-19 pandemic are impossible to predict, and the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to evolve, including the risk of future increased rates of infection due to significant portions of the population remaining unvaccinated and/or the lack of effectiveness of current vaccines against new variants. The pandemic has affected and may continue to affect certain countries, industries, economic sectors, companies and investment products more than others, may exacerbate existing economic, political, or social tensions and may increase the probability of an economic recession or depression. The Funds’ and their investments may be adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the pandemic may result in the Funds and their service providers experiencing operational difficulties in coordinating a remote workforce and implementing their business continuity plans, among others. Management will continue to monitor the impact COVID-19 has on the Funds and reflect the consequences as appropriate in the Funds’ accounting and financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

DBX ETF Trust

 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Continued)

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the DWS family of funds since at least 1979, but we are unable to determine the specific year.

This report is intended for the shareholders of the DBX ETF Trust.

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region, generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Because the Funds seek to provide exposure to stocks based on the following multifactors — value, momentum, quality, low volatility and size — it is expected, exposure to such investment factors will detract from performance in some market environments, as more fully explained in the Funds’ prospectus. KOKU is currently non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. Performance of a Fund may diverge from that of its Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in any Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that Fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.

War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises and related geopolitical events have led, and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Funds and their investments.

Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Transactions in Fund shares may result in brokerage commissions and may generate tax consequences. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares of a Fund will develop or be maintained.
