To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide this semi-annual report on our Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF for the period ended November 30, 2021.
An easing of restrictions as COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out in addition to central-bank fiscal and monetary policy support helped the global economic recovery. In the U.S., although growth contracted during the reporting period, the economy regained momentum, with the period ending with increasing personal consumption expenditure. Moreover, the unemployment rate declined and jobless claims plummeted. However, inflation increased due to rising prices of food, shelter, energy and other essentials. Giving a rising inflation environment, the Federal Reserve Board indicated tapering its quantitative easing program and hiking the interest rate sooner than expected. The Eurozone recovered amid growing demand and steady vaccination rates, although it faced headwinds from supply chain bottlenecks and inflation. Steep inflation and lower COVID-19 vaccination rates deterred growth in emerging markets.
The Eurozone’s manufacturing sector remained dull, while the services sector remained buoyant as unemployment rates declined gradually. The European Central Bank reiterated that the current spike in inflation is transitory but indicated that the very generous monetary policy will be reassessed at some point in the future. In France, the services sector recovered at the end of the period, coupled with an upswing in tourism and notable industrial growth, despite input-related issues and weaker demand. Germany’s economic recovery was the slowest in the Eurozone as business and consumer confidence continued to deteriorate during the period due to the materials shortages and inflated energy prices that hindered manufacturing activity. However, unemployment rates edged down significantly. The UK’s GDP1 growth slowed as the period ended, owing to supply bottlenecks and fuel shortages . However, retail sales picked up swiftly at the start of the festive season. Concerning Brexit2 negotiations, both the EU and Britain remained in a deadlock with regard to the Northern Ireland Protocol.
In Japan, soaring vaccination rates and an end to the state of emergency boosted industrial expansion as the period ended. After being elected prime minister, Fumio Kishida announced an economic stimulus package for the youth and ailing businesses in an effort to deliver a sense of security. China’s economy experienced a healthy rebound on a recovery in domestic demand, an easing of power shortages and a drop in raw material prices. Australia’s economy recovered on successful vaccination programs and relaxed COVID-19 related restrictions.
We believe the global economy is positioned for an uneven recovery, with countries recovering from the crisis facing novel difficulties. The emergence of new variants of the coronavirus continues to create uncertainty, particularly in emerging markets. Rising energy prices, a spike in inflation, and persistent supply constraints are impeding overall recovery. Monetary policy would play a vital role as global central banks attempt to balance economic recovery with an accommodative stance while keeping watch on possible hyperinflation.
Our team appreciates your trust and looks forward to serving your investment needs through innovative index-driven strategies.
Sincerely,
/s/ Freddi Klassen

DBX ETF Trust
As a shareholder of the Fund, 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 resent six-month period the Fund limited these expenses; had it 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 Fund 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 (June 1, 2021 to November 30, 2021).
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 Fund’s 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 November 30, 2021 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.

DBX ETF Trust
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 November 30, 2021, the Trust consists of thirty-five investment series of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF (the “Fund”), a diversified series of the Trust. The 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 the Fund tracks.
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 Fund and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”).
The Fund offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, the Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large specified lots consisting of 200,000 shares, each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Fund, and owners of shares may acquire those shares from the Fund or tender such shares for redemption to the Fund, in Creation Units only.
The investment objective of the Fund is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE US Dollar Hedged Index (the “Underlying Index”).
MSCI is the creator of the MSCI EAFE US Dollar Hedged Index. The MSCI EAFE US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track developed market performance while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries included in the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is rebalanced monthly on the last trading day of the month, when the index will take into account the effect of rolling into new 1-month forward contracts based on the newly determined weights of currency to be sold for the next month’s index calculation. The currency weights are determined as of the close of two business days before the first calendar day of following month and remain constant intra month. This means that no changes in the weights are made during the month to account for changes in the indexes due to price movement of securities, corporate events, additions, deletions or any other changes. The daily calculation of the Underlying Index marks to market the one-month forward contracts on a daily basis by using an equal and offsetting forward position.
The Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no charge to the Fund in connection with the licensing agreement.
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 Fund. 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 Fund 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. The 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 Fund.
Security Valuation The NAV of the 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.
22
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
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.
Equity securities 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 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 are generally categorized as Level 1.
Investments in open-ended 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.
Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and are categorized as Level 2.
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 Board and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Fund’s 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 the 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.
Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders It is the Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). The 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 the Fund to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors semi-annually. 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 Fund may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Fund reserves the right to declare special distributions if, in
23
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of the 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s financial statements.
The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. For the period ended November 30, 2021, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
At May 31, 2021, for Federal income tax purposes, the Fund had 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 capital loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the capital gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.
Short-Term | Long-Term | Total Amount | ||||||||||
$ | 79,777,782 | $ | 366,662,067 | $ | 446,439,849 |
As of May 31, 2021, the aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation and the aggregated gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments were as follows:
Aggregate Tax Cost |
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
Foreign Taxes The Fund 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 Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in their Statement 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. Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of November 30, 2021, if any, are disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Foreign Currency Translations The books and records of the Fund is 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.
24
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Securities Lending The Fund may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans, the Fund continues to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Fund requires the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Fund 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 period ended November 30, 2021, the Fund 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 (0.03% annualized effective rate as of November 30, 2021) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Fund receives compensation for lending its 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 Fund is not able to recover securities lent, the Fund 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 Fund is 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.
As of November 30, 2021, the Fund had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at period end.

Derivatives
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts (“forward currency contracts”) designed to offset the Fund’s exposure to non-U.S. currencies. In addition, the Fund may enter into forward currency contracts to facilitate local securities settlements or to protect against currency exposure in connection with distributions to shareholders.
A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. For the period ended November 30, 2021, the Fund invested in forward currency contracts to hedge against changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against specified non-U.S. currencies.
The gain or loss arising from the difference between the original contract and the closing of such contract would be included in net realized gain or loss on forward currency contracts. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The face or contract amount, in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the Fund has in that particular currency contract.
A summary of the open forward currency contracts as of November 30, 2021 is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The investment in forward currency contracts short vs. U.S. dollars had a contract value generally indicative of a range of the total exposure the Fund had to the value of non U.S currencies during the period ended November 30, 2021.
Futures Contracts The 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. The Fund will enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. The Fund will not use futures for speculative purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of
25
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
a specified amount of a specific instrument or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. For the period ended November 30, 2021, the Fund utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Fund’s Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.
At the time the Fund enters into a futures contract, the 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, the 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 November 30, 2021 is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the value of the Fund’s derivative instruments held as of November 30, 2021 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

As of November 30, 2021, the Fund has transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements which govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with such transactions. Master netting agreements allow a Fund to close out and net total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default with respect to all of the transactions with a counterparty. As defined by the master netting agreement, the Fund may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate risk. Interest expense from collateral received, if any, is included in Other expenses on the Statement of Operations. For financial reporting purposes the Statement of Assets and Liabilities generally shows derivatives assets and liabilities on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures prior to netting.

Affiliated Cash Management Vehicles The Fund may invest uninvested cash balances in DWS Government Money Market Series and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund, affiliated money market funds which are managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. (“DIMA”), also an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA. Each affiliated money market fund is managed in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which governs the quality, maturity, diversity and liquidity of instruments in which a money market fund may invest. DWS Government Money Market Series seeks to maintain a stable NAV and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund maintains a floating NAV. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of each affiliated money market fund in which it invests. 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 Fund, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Under an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, 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 Fund to operate.
27
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
For its investment advisory services to the Fund, the Advisor is entitled to receive a unitary advisory fee from the Fund based on the Fund’s average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to 0.35%.
The Advisor for the Fund 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 Fund’s investments in affiliated cash management vehicles. For the period from June 1, 2020 through November 30, 2021, the Advisor waived $11,342 of expenses to the Fund.
Out of the unitary advisory fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, and expenses of the Independent Trustees. The 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 the Fund.
ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) serves as the distributor of Creation Units for the Fund on an agency basis. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Fund.
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 Fund’s Independent Trustees).
4. Investment Portfolio Transactions
For the period ended November 30, 2021, the cost of investments purchased and proceeds from sale of investments (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments) were as follows:
Purchases | Sales | |||||||
$ | 226,711,740 | $ | 35,060,740 |
For the period ended November 30, 2021, the cost of in-kind purchases and proceeds from in-kind sales were as follows:
Purchases | Sales | |||||||
$ | 144,115,444 | $ | 29,459,699 |
5. Fund Share Transactions
As of November 30, 2021, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statement 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 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 low vaccination rates 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 Fund and its investments may be adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the pandemic may result in the Fund and its 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 Fund and reflect the consequences as appropriate in the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting.

DBX ETF Trust
This report is intended for the shareholders of 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. The Fund’s use of forward currency contracts may not be successful in hedging currency exchange rates changes and could eliminate some or all of the benefit of an increase in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar. 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. Performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in the Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.
War, terrorism, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises (including the ongoing pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus) and related geopolitical events could lead to increased market volatility, disruption to U.S. and world economies and markets and may have significant adverse effects on the Fund and its 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.
