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, except for Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, 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 (June 1, 2023 to November 30, 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.

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, 2023 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 November 30, 2023 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 November 30, 2023 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 November 30, 2023 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 November 30, 2023 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 November 30, 2023 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.

Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF and Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF offer shares that are listed and traded on the Cboe Bats BZX Exchange. Inc. (“Cboe”). Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF offer 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, 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 seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the “Underlying Index”). The underlying indices for the Funds are:

The J.P. Morgan ESG DM Corporate High Yield USD Index is designed to apply environmental, social and governance considerations to a broader parent index. The Underlying Index generally aims to keep the broad characteristics of its parent index, the J.P. Morgan DM High Yield USD Index (a USD denominated high yield corporate bond index of developed market issuers), resulting in a broad high yield fixed income market exposure with ESG aspects. Under normal circumstances, the J.P. Morgan Indices are reconstituted and rebalanced on a monthly basis.

The Solactive Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond Index is designed to track the performance of the U.S. long term tax-exempt bond market, consisting of infrastructure revenue bonds. It is comprised of tax-exempt municipal securities issued by states, cities, counties, districts, their respective agencies and other tax-exempt issuers. The Underlying Index is intended to track bonds that have been issued with the intention of funding federal, state and local infrastructure projects such as water and sewer systems, public power systems, toll roads, bridges, tunnels and many other public use projects. It is designed to only hold bonds issued by state and local municipalities where the interest and principal repayments are generated from dedicated revenue streams or a double-barreled revenue stream (pledged revenue stream and a general obligation pledge). Under normal circumstances, the Solactive Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond Index is rebalanced monthly on the last business day of each month.

The MSCI ACWI ex USA High Dividend Yield Index is designed to track the performance of equity securities (excluding real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)) in developed and emerging stock markets (excluding the United States) in its parent index, the MSCI ACWI ex US Index, with higher dividend income and quality characteristics than average dividend yields of equities in the parent index, where such higher dividend income and quality characteristics are both sustainable and persistent. The MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Index is designed to reflect the performance of equities (excluding REITs) in developed markets in its parent index, the MSCI EAFE Index, with higher dividend income and quality characteristics than average dividend yields of equities in the parent index, where such higher dividend income and quality characteristics are both sustainable and persistent. Under normal circumstances, the MSCI High Dividend Yield Indices are rebalanced semi-annually in May and November.

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 is a diversified series of the Trust. In addition, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF may change their 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

 

67


DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

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.

Municipal 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

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 Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF to pay out dividends from its net investment income monthly and Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF to pay out dividends from net investment income 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.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the period ended November 30, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

At May 31, 2023, 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.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

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 November 30, 2023, 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    Prior to August 1, 2023, the Bank of New York Mellon served as securities lending agent for Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF. Effective August 1, 2023, National Financial Services LLC (Fidelity Agency Lending), serves as securities lending agent for Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and may lend securities of the Funds to certain financial institutions under the terms if its securities lending agreement. Prior to September 26, 2023, the Bank of New York Mellon served as securities lending agent for Xtrackers J.P.

market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of either cash or liquid, unencumbered assets 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, 2023, 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 (0.10% annualized effective rate as of November 30, 2023) 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.

As of November 30, 2023, the Funds listed below had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at period end.

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 period ended November 30, 2023, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity 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.

5. Fund Share Transactions

As of November 30, 2023, 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. Investing in Emerging Markets

Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in developed markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation or deflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political, social and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls or delayed settlements, and may have prices that are more volatile or less easily assessed than those of comparable securities of issuers in developed markets. There is also substantially less publicly available information about emerging market issuers than there is about issuers in developed countries. Therefore, disclosure of certain material information may not be made, and less information may be available to the Funds and other investors than would be the case if the Funds’ investments were restricted to securities of issuers in developed countries. Investments in emerging markets are often considered speculative.

7. Investing in High-Yield Debt Securities

High-yield debt securities or junk bonds are generally regarded as speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. A fund’s performance could be hurt if an issuer of a debt security suffers an adverse change in financial condition that results in the issuer not making timely payments of interest or principal, a security downgrade or an inability to meet a financial obligation. High-yield debt securities’ total return and yield may generally be expected to fluctuate more than the total return and yield of investment-grade debt securities. A real or perceived economic downturn or an increase in market interest

rates could cause a decline in the value of high-yield debt securities, result in increased redemptions and/or result in increased portfolio turnover, which could result in a decline in NAV of a fund, reduce liquidity for certain investments and/or increase costs. High-yield debt securities are often thinly traded and can be more difficult to sell and value accurately than investment-grade debt securities as there may be no established secondary market. Investments in high-yield debt securities could increase liquidity risk for a fund. In addition, the market for high-yield debt securities can experience sudden and sharp volatility which is generally associated more with investments in stocks.

8. Line of Credit

The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $105 million. Each Fund may borrow money under this credit facility to the extent necessary for temporary or emergency purposes, including the funding of shareholder redemption requests, trade settlements, and as necessary to distribute to shareholders any income necessary to maintain each Funds’ status as a regulated investment company. Borrowings are charged an interest rate of 1.25% per annum plus the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus .10%. Each Fund may borrow up to the lesser of 33 percent of its net assets as permitted by the Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Funds had no outstanding loans at November 30, 2023.

Regulatory Update — Tailored Shareholder Report

Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC amended the rules for mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) annual and semi-annual shareholder reports. The amended rules apply to mutual funds and ETFs that are registered on Form N-1A (i.e., open-end funds) and implement a new streamlined disclosure framework requiring “concise and visually engaging” shareholder reports highlighting key information, including a simplified expense presentation, performance information, portfolio holdings and certain fund statistics. The amended rules seek to simplify shareholder reporting by consolidating investor friendly data in one report and moving other data to Form N-CSR, creating a layered disclosure framework. Certain information from the Funds’ current shareholder reports, including the Funds’ investment portfolio, financial statements and financial highlights, will move to Form N-CSR. This information must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. Notably, the amended rules will require mutual funds and ETFs to prepare separate individual shareholder reports for each fund share class. The amendments also include a revised definition of “appropriate broad-based securities market index” that will affect performance presentations in the new streamlined reports and mutual fund and ETF prospectuses. The amended rules and related form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of the amended rules and form amendments on the content of the Funds’ current shareholder reports.

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 possible loss of principal. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. In certain situations, it may be difficult or impossible to sell an investment at an acceptable price. 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. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Investments in lower-quality (“junk bonds”) and non-rated securities present greater risk of loss than investments in higher-quality securities. Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds and there may be less information available on the financial condition of issuers of municipal securities than for public corporations. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax. Incorporation of ESG criteria in a fund’s investment strategy does not guarantee a return or protect against a loss, limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. Stocks may decline in value. Dividends are not guaranteed. If the dividend-paying stocks held by the Fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the Fund’s ability to generate income may be adversely affected. Performance of the Funds 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 these Funds should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Funds. Please read the prospectus for more information.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria are a set of standards for a company’s operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments: Environmental (how a company performs as a steward of nature); Social (how a company manages relationships with employee, suppliers, customers and communities); Governance (company’s leadership, executive pay, shareholder rights, etc).

War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises, natural disasters, climate change 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. or CBOE BZX Exchange, Inc., as applicable. 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.
