To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)

 

 

Dear shareholder,

We are pleased to provide this annual report on our six currency hedged equity ETFs for the period ended May 31, 2023.

The global economy witnessed a period of volatility due to heightened inflation, growing interest rates and sluggish industrial activity amid geopolitical tension between Russia and Ukraine. Rising inflation in both developed and emerging economies affected the cost of living as disposable incomes were eroded, resulting in aggressive interest rate hikes by major central banks, except for the Bank of Japan. Global financial markets remained largely volatile with short periods of gains and losses as investors remained uncertain about interest rate actions but acted on positive economic data. Despite the challenges in the banking sectors of the U.S. and Europe during the first quarter of 2023, market sentiment turned positive on the back of China’s reopening after its COVID-19-related restrictions. However, concerns around the U.S. defaulting on its debt and negotiations to increase the debt ceiling dominated the headlines, sending jitters among investors.

U.S. GDP1 grew at a weaker rate in 2022 than in 2021, but second half of 2022 saw green shoots emerge, followed by a slowdown in the first quarter of 2023. Inflation peaked in June 2022, before cooling down in the second half of the year as energy prices softened and retreated further in the early part of 2023. However, core CPI2 remained elevated due to critical components, such as electricity and housing costs, witnessing a significant increase, consequently weighing on the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) decision on interest rate hikes. The labor market remained moderately resilient as the unemployment rate stayed stable during the period amid slowing wage growth.

The Eurozone’s economy started slowing from mid-2022; inflation peaked in October and continued to surpass the rate of wage growth, weighing on consumption demand. Like other central banks, the European Central Bank (ECB) resorted to interest rate hikes to combat this, which took a toll on the economy, with GDP contracting each quarter. Despite major indicators pointing toward a hard recession in 2023, a heavily energy-reliant economy witnessed a surprising first-quarter expansion as energy prices retreated and budgetary support measures helped soften the blow. One key positive for the economy was the tight labor market, with the employment rate rising despite sluggish growth and a downturn in global business activity in the last quarter of 2022.

Emerging economies were weighed down by a multitude of factors including high inflation alongside slowing growth, a hawkish Fed, a strong dollar performance, and heavyweight China facing a slowdown. The monetary tightening cycle of most developing markets that started last year seemed to be drawing to a close as focus shifted from fighting inflation to improving growth rates and boosting demand. Some countries, such as India, paused their rate hikes as manufacturing indicators turned positive and softer indicators such as business and consumer sentiment started to improve.

We believe central banks across the world will likely remain cautious in their approach to monetary policy and watch for positive signs in the economy before taking any interest rate action. Recent banking system stress and debt ceiling-related concerns are also likely to weigh on the Fed’s decisions in the coming months. Unlike the Fed, the ECB has clearly maintained its stance on monetary action and is willing to hike rates further until inflation is within its comfort range. The entire world, in our view, will be keenly watching how China recovers from its COVID-19-induced restrictions to induce an uptick in industrial activity and income recovery while boosting private sector investment.

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

Sincerely,

/s/ Freddi Klassen

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 October 1, 2022, was 0.40%, 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.

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.

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 October 1, 2022 was 0.45%, 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.

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 unitary advisory 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 six-month period and held for the entire period (December 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023).

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.
