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 (Seprember 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024) except Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (commencement of operations, as noted below, to Febreuary 29, 2024).

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 February 29, 2024 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.

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 February 29, 2024 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 February 29, 2024 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.

1. Organization

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

As of February 29, 2024, the Trust consists of forty-six 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 Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF
Xtrackers MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Equity ETF
Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF
Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF
Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF

Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF

Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources 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”), except Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF which offers shares that are listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). 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 RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF which lots consists of 25,000 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 of the following Funds 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:

 

Fund

 

Underlying Index

Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF   Solactive ISS Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction & Climate Improvers Index NTR
Xtrackers MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Equity ETF   MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index
Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF   MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Index
Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF   MSCI USA Climate Action Index
Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF   MSCI USA ESG Leaders Index
Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF   Solactive ISS ESG United States Net Zero Pathway Enhanced Index

The Solactive ISS Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction & Climate Improvers Index NTR (the “EMCR Index”) is comprised of large and mid-capitalization companies in emerging markets countries that meet certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria and/or have committed to greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. The EMCR Index is then weighted in such a manner seeking to align its constituents companies’ greenhouse gas emissions with the long-term global warming target of the Paris Climate Agreement. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index is rebalanced semi-annually in February and August, and thus the Fund updates and rebalances its portfolio in a corresponding fashion.

The MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index is a capitalization weighted index that provides exposure to companies with high ESG performance relative to their sector peers. The Underlying Index consists of large- and medium-capitalization companies across developed markets countries, excluding Canada and the United States. Under normal circumstances, the annual review of the Underlying Index takes place in May and it is rebalanced in August, November and February, and thus the Fund updates and rebalances its portfolio in a corresponding fashion.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Index is a capitalization weighted index that provides exposure to companies with high ESG performance relative to their sector peers. The Underlying Index consists of large- and medium-capitalization companies across emerging markets countries, as defined by the index provider. The annual review of the Underlying Index takes place in May and it is rebalanced in August, November and February, and thus the Fund updates and rebalances its portfolio in a corresponding fashion.

The MSCI USA Climate Action Index is comprised of large and mid-capitalization companies in the United States that the Underlying Index’s methodology assesses as leading their sector peers in taking action relating to a climate transition. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index is rebalanced on a semi-annual basis, and reviewed and reweighted on an ongoing basis. The Fund rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule.

The MSCI USA ESG Leaders Index is a capitalization weighted index that provides exposure to companies with high ESG performance relative to their sector peers. The Underlying Index consists of large- and medium-capitalization companies in the U.S. market. Under normal circumstances, the annual review of the Underlying Index takes place in May and it is rebalanced in August, November and February, and thus the Fund updates and rebalances its portfolio in a corresponding fashion.

The Solactive ISS ESG United States Net Zero Pathway Enhanced Index is comprised of large and mid-capitalization companies in the United States that meet certain ESG criteria. The constituents of the Underlying Index are weighted in such a manner seeking to comply with the European Union Paris-aligned Benchmark standards, while incorporating recommendations of the Net Zero Investment Framework published, from time to time, by the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index is rebalanced semi-annually in February and August. The Fund rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule.

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

Xtrackers RREEF Global Resources ETF “NRES” seeks total return from both capital appreciation and current income. NRES is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specific index. Under normal circumstances, NRES invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes (calculated at the time of any investment), in securities of companies in the natural resources sector.

Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF, Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF and Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF are non-diversified and are not limited by the 1940 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

DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

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 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.

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.

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

Investment Transactions and Investment IncomeInvestment 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 Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors semi-annually. It is the policy of Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF, Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF and Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF 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.

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 February 29, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

At August 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 February 29, 2024, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translations he 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 LendingNational Financial Services LLC (Fidelity Agency Lending) serves as securities lending agent for Xtrackers MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Equity ETF, Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF and lends securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreements. Prior to September 27, 2023, the Bank of New York Mellon served as securities lending agent for Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF. Effective September 27, 2023, Deutsche Bank AG serves as securities lending agent for Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF and lends securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreements. 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 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 securities 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 February 29, 2024, the Funds invested the cash collateral, if any, into a joint trading account in affiliated money market funds, including DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/ administration fee (0.11% annualized effective rate as of February 29, 2024) 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 securities lending agent. Either the Funds 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 February 29, 2024, 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. For each fund, except, Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF, these futures contracts will be used to simulate investment in the respective Underlying Index, to facilitate trading or to reduce transaction costs. For Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF these futures will be used for liquidity purposes. 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 February 29, 2024, Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF and Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Funds’ 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 February 29, 2024 is included in a table following the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

The following tables summarize the value of the Funds’ derivative instruments held as of February 29, 2024 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

Affiliated Cash Management Vehicles The Funds 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 Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of each affiliated 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.

RREEF America L.L.C. (“RREEF”) an affiliate of the Advisor serves as the Sub-Advisor to the Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF. The Sub-Advisor is responsible for day-to-day management of the Fund, subject to supervision of the Advisor.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

For its investment advisory services to the Funds below, the Advisor was entitled to receive a unitary advisory fee 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 the Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF has voluntarily elected to waive its fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest expense and acquired fund fees and expenses) at nine basis points of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Any voluntary waiver or reimbursement implemented by the Advisor may be eliminated by the Advisor at any time. For the period ended February 29, 2024, the Advisor waived $56,853 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 period ended February 29, 2024, 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 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).

Affiliated Securities Lending Agent Fees Effective September 27, 2023, Deutsche Bank AG serves as securities lending agent for the funds listed below. For the period ended February 29, 2024, the Funds incurred securities lending agent fees to Deutsche Bank AG as follows:

5. Fund Share Transactions

As of February 29, 2024, here 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 or portfolio 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. Payments by Affiliates

During the period ended February 29, 2024, the Advisor and the securities lending agent, Deutsche Bank AG, agreed to reimburse the Funds and amounts below for securities lending income in connection to an operational delay with the lending agent transition (see Securities Lending note 2.)

The amounts reimbursed were less than 0.01% of the Funds’ average net assets, thus having no impact on the Funds’ total return.

7. 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.

 

79


DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

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.

Investing in securities of Chinese issuers involves certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including, among others; more frequent (and potentially widespread) trading suspensions and government interventions with respect to Chinese issuers, resulting in lack of liquidity and in price volatility; currency revaluations and other currency exchange rate fluctuations or blockage; the nature and extent of intervention by the Chinese government in the Chinese securities markets (including both direct and indirect market stabilization efforts, which may affect valuations of Chinese issuers), whether such intervention will continue and the impact of such intervention or its discontinuation; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; the risk that the Chinese government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs; limitations on the use of brokers (or action by the Chinese government that discourages brokers from serving international clients); higher rates of inflation; greater political, economic and social uncertainty; higher market volatility caused by any potential regional territorial conflicts or natural disasters; the risk of increased trade tariffs, embargoes and other trade or regulatory limitations; restrictions on foreign ownership which require U.S. investors to invest in offshore special purpose companies to obtain indirect exposure to Chinese issuers; custody risks associated with investing through Stock Connect, a Qualified Foreign Investor (“QFI”) or other programs to access the Chinese securities markets, both interim and permanent market regulations which may affect the ability of certain stockholders to sell Chinese securities when it would otherwise be advisable; different and less stringent financial reporting standards; and increased political pressure from the U.S. and other countries to restrict the ability of investors outside China to invest in Chinese issuers.

8. Line of Credit

The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders 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 1940 Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Funds had no outstanding loans at February 29, 2024.

9. Concentration of Ownership

From time to time, the Funds may have a concentration of several shareholder accounts holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund. At February 29, 2024, there was one affiliated shareholder account for the fund listed below holding a significant percentage of the shares outstanding:

Other Information (Unaudited)

 

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.

Liquidity Risk Management (Unaudited)

 

Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), your Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”), and the Board has designated DBX Advisors LLC (“Advisors”) as Program administrator. The Program is designed to assess and manage your Fund’s liquidity risk (the risk that the Fund would be unable to meet requests to redeem shares of the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund). Advisors has designated a committee (the “Committee”) composed of personnel from multiple departments within an affiliate of Advisors that is responsible for the implementation and ongoing administration of the Program, which includes assessing the Fund’s liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions. Under the Program, every investment held by a Fund is classified on a daily basis into one of four liquidity categories based on estimations of the investment’s ability to be sold during designated timeframes in current market conditions without significantly changing the investment’s market value.

In February 2024, as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule, Advisors provided the Board with an annual written report (the “Report”) addressing the operation of the Program and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation during the period from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”). During the Reporting Period, your Fund was primarily invested in highly liquid investments (investments that the Fund anticipates can be converted to cash within three business days or less in current market conditions without significantly changing their market value). As a result, your Fund is not required to adopt, and has not adopted, a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” as defined in the Liquidity Rule. During the Reporting Period, the Fund did experience a temporary breach of the 15% limit imposed by the Liquidity Rule on holdings in illiquid investments (investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in seven days or less in current market conditions without the sale of the investment significantly changing the market value of the investment). The breach was caused by the temporary reclassification of Chinese securities as illiquid due to an extended Chinese and Taiwan holiday market closure in January 2023. The temporary reclassification of Chinese securities caused the Fund to exceed the 15% limit on illiquid investments. Because a notification to the Fund’s board of the anticipated extended holiday closure was made before the start of the holiday closure no filing on Form N-RN was required. Also, because the holiday closure was anticipated in advance, no actions were needed to rebalance the Fund’s portfolio. Your Fund did not experience any issues meeting investor redemptions at any time during the Reporting Period. In the Report, Advisors stated that it believes the Program has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Fund’s liquidity risk during the Reporting Period. Advisors also reported that there were no material changes made to the Program during the Reporting Period.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with DBX Advisors LLC

After discussions at the meeting of the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) held on February 14–15, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Trustees, all of whom are the Independent Trustees (those not affiliated with DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) or its service providers), unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF, and Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and Meeting by K&L Gates LLP (“Independent Trustee Counsel”).

Before reaching their decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Independent Trustees evaluated the materials furnished to them in advance of the Meeting from DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”) for purposes of reviewing the agreement’s terms, including statistical information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (“Broadridge”) regarding (a) fee and expense information for each Fund (including the fee and expense components and any amounts waived or reimbursed) as compared to a peer group of other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) selected pursuant to Broadridge’s proprietary methodology (each, a “Peer Group”) and (b) each Fund’s tracking error as compared to its underlying index over the previous five years (or since inception, if shorter). The Independent Trustees met with representatives of the Advisor on February 14, 2024 to review financial reports and other information provided by the Advisor and inquire further with regard to the financial information provided, and asked questions of the Advisor during this meeting. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the discussions they had with management before and during the Meeting and among themselves during their Executive Sessions held on February 14 and February 15, 2024.

The Independent Trustees also noted that they had received and should take into consideration a substantial amount of information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, which information included, among other things, an analysis of each Fund’s investment performance, tracking error and related financial information, presentations given by DBX, as well as its periodic reports on brokerage commissions, portfolio execution and other services provided to the Funds.

In reaching its decision to continue in effect the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders; (2) the financial resources of DBX and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services provided by and the profits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds; (5) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized, and if the Funds’ shareholders have benefitted from those economies; and (6) fall out benefits, if any, enjoyed by the Advisor.

The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (“Trust Counsel”) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders as well as consistent with the Board’s duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.

The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services provided and the risks incurred by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from and the discussions it had with the Advisor continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Advisor had provided in response to the

Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Board’s requests prior to the Meeting. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Funds, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Advisor, including portfolio management.

The Board considered that the Advisor provides, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Funds and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trust’s service providers. The Board also considered that the Advisor pays or arranges for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Advisor or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Advisor arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Funds’ operations. The Board also considered that in addition to managing the Funds’ portfolios directly, the Advisor provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds.

The Board considered the information regarding each Fund’s tracking error compared to its underlying index that had been provided by the Advisor and by Broadridge. The Board took note of the detailed information provided by the Advisor throughout the year with respect to each Fund’s tracking error and the sources thereof. The Trustees noted that tracking error for each Fund during the year was in an expected range.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to the Advisor, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of the unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds’ service providers. The Board considered the staffing of the Advisor, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Funds. The Board also considered the expertise of the Advisor in supervising third party service providers to the Funds, such as the administrator and the custodian, noting the Advisor’s extensive work with these service providers (including onsite due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision. The Board further considered the compliance program of the Advisor, which supports the Funds’ compliance program.

Advisor’s Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Advisor to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Advisor’s financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Advisor has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared each Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses to those of the other ETFs in its Peer Group. The Board noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there were limitations faced by Broadridge in providing comparable funds in the Peer Groups and the information in the Broadridge reports accordingly may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board also noted that the advisory fees and total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements) for the Funds were below or equal to the average and/or median of the ETFs in each Fund’s respective Peer Group compiled by Broadridge.

The Board accordingly noted that each Fund’s fee is competitive with the fees of applicable peer ETFs.

The Board considered that the fee for each of the Funds is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Advisor pays all of the Funds’ costs (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board considered that each Fund’s fee had been priced to scale when it was established. The Board also considered that each Fund’s portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Advisor and that the Advisor also provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for each Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the expenses of the Advisor in developing and rendering services provided to the Funds and the information provided by the Advisor to the Board regarding the Funds’ profitability. The Board considered that the Advisor had provided extensive information about the Advisor’s profitability and the Advisor’s methodology in determining profitability. While the Advisor had provided information about the Advisor’s expenses relating to marketing the Funds, the Board considered the Advisor’s profitability without accounting for such expenses. The Board determined that, although only some of the Funds were profitable as of this time, the Advisor’s profitability with respect to each profitable Fund was not excessive. The Board considered whether the Advisor would benefit in other ways from its relationships with the Funds and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Advisor related to the operation of the Funds.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered that certain Funds had attracted a substantial amount of assets, but determined that those Funds were not experiencing economies of scale beyond what was reflected in each Fund’s unitary fee, which the Board noted was very competitive. The Board considered that the other Funds were not experiencing economies of scale at this time and determined to revisit this matter after the Funds had attracted more assets. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisors can share benefits of economies of scale.

Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with DBX Advisors LLC

After discussions at the meeting of the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) held on November 14, 2023 (the “Meeting”), the Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees (those not affiliated with DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) or its service providers), unanimously approved the Investment Advisory Agreement with DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”) and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between DBX and RREEF America L.L.C. (“RREEF” or the “Sub-Advisor”) with respect to Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF (the “Fund”). The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and Meeting by K&L Gates LLP (“Independent Trustee Counsel”).

In reaching its decision with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund and its shareholders; (2) the financial resources of DBX and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services to be provided by and the anticipated profits to be realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund; (5) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized, and if the Fund’s shareholders would benefit from those economies.

In reaching its decision with respect to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund and its shareholders; (2) the performance of RREEF with respect to its management of other funds, as well as RREEF’s financial resources and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement; (3) the total cost of the services to be provided by RREEF from its relationship with the Fund; and (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized, and if the Fund’s’ shareholders would benefit from those economies.

The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (“Trust Counsel”) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders as well as consistent with the Board’s duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.

The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Fund, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services, such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Advisor, including portfolio management.

The Board considered that the Advisor will provide, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Fund and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trust’s service providers. The Board also considered that the Advisor will pay or arrange for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Advisor or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Advisor arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Fund’s operations. The Board also considered that in addition to managing the Fund’s portfolio directly together with the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor will provide oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Fund.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees to be paid to the Advisor, taking special consideration of the fact that the Fund’s advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of the unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Fund’s service providers. The Board considered the staffing of the Advisor, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Fund. The Board also considered the expertise of the Advisor in supervising investment sub-advisors for certain of its currently managed funds and third party service providers to its currently managed funds, such as the administrator and the custodian (which would also provide those services to the Fund), noting the Advisor’s extensive work with these service providers (including onsite and virtual due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision (which would cover the Fund as well). The Board further considered the compliance program of the Advisor, which supports the compliance program of the Advisor’s currently managed funds (which would also cover the Fund).

Advisor’s Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Advisor to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Advisor’s financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Advisor has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared the Fund’s advisory fee to those of other pertinent exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and noted that the Fund’s fee is below the average and median fee of the ETFs in the Fund’s peer group. The Board accordingly noted that the Fund’s fee is competitive with the fees of its peer group. The Board agreed that it was familiar with the Advisor’s methodology for selecting the Fund’s peer group and believed that the Fund’s peer group was appropriate. The Board considered that the proposed fee for the Fund is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Advisor pays all of the Fund’s costs (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board also considered that the Fund’s portfolio will be managed on a day-to-day basis by the Advisor and that the Advisor will also provide oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Fund. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for the Fund is reasonable in light of the services to be provided.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the anticipated expenses of the Advisor in developing and rendering services to be provided to the Fund and the likelihood and level of profits in the early years of the Fund’s operations. The Board noted that because the Fund is new, it is difficult to estimate the

profitability of the Fund to the Advisor at this time. The Board considered whether the Advisor would benefit in other ways from its relationship with the Fund and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Advisor related to the operation of the Fund. The Board also considered the greater entrepreneurial risk in offering new fund products, which require substantial investment to launch, may not succeed, and generally must be priced to compete with larger, more established funds resulting in lack of profitability to the Advisor until a new fund achieves scale.

Economies of Scale. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee was set at a competitive level that was designed to reflect scale in assets from the Fund’s commencement of operations. The Board noted that because the Fund is new, it is difficult to estimate whether the Fund would experience economies of scale beyond those already reflected in the Fund’s advisory fee. The Board determined to evaluate economies of scale on an ongoing basis as a result of asset growth of the Fund. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisor’s can share benefits of economies of scale.

Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the nature, extent and quality of services that RREEF would provide to the Fund, the Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by RREEF under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from the Sub-Advisor. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous target allocation representing RREEF’s recommendations as to the securities to be purchased, sold or retained by the Fund, which RREEF continually reviews and adjusts as necessary on an ongoing daily basis.

The Board also considered RREEF’s operational capabilities and resources, and its experience in serving as an investment sub-advisor to funds with similar strategies. The Board considered the professional experience, qualifications and performance of RREEF’s senior management and key professional personnel, as well as RREEF’s depth and breadth of experience in managing investment portfolios with similar strategies and their techniques for implementing such strategies. In addition, the Board considered RREEF’s operational capabilities and resources.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by RREEF under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees to be paid to RREEF.

RREEF’s Financial Resources. The Board considered RREEF’s financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that RREEF has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Reasonableness of Sub-Advisory Fee. The Board considered that the fee to be paid to RREEF in respect of the Fund would be paid by the Advisor and not the Fund. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fees agreed upon with RREEF are reasonable in light of the nature and quality of investment advisory services rendered for the Fund. The Board reached its conclusion based in part on the aggregate fees paid by the Fund, the fact that the sub-advisory fee is paid by the Advisor and not the Fund, and fees paid by comparable funds to advisors.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the anticipated expenses of RREEF in developing and rendering services to be provided to the Fund and the likelihood and level of profits in the early years of the Fund’s operations. The Board noted that because the Fund is new, it is difficult to estimate the profitability of the Fund to the Sub-Advisor at this time. The Board considered whether RREEF would benefit in other ways from its

relationship with the Fund and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the RREEF related to the operation of the Fund. The Board also considered the greater entrepreneurial risk in offering new fund products, which require substantial investment to launch, may not succeed, and generally must be priced to compete with larger, more established funds resulting in lack of profitability to the Sub-Advisor until a new fund achieves scale.

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. Incorporation of ESG criteria in a Fund’s investment strategy does not guarantee a return or protect against 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. Regulatory changes or interpretations regarding the definitions and/or use of ESG criteria could have a material adverse effect on a fund’s ability to invest in accordance with its investment policies and/or achieve its investment objective, as well as the ability of certain classes of investors to invest in funds following an ESG strategy such as the fund. The Underlying Index’s methodology for identifying companies attempting to reduce their carbon footprint 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 follow a carbon reduction strategy. Stocks may decline in value. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in US 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. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. EMSG, USCA, USNZ and NRES are currently non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. There are special risks associated with natural resources investments, this means that the fund is more vulnerable to the price movements that particularly affect one or more of the various industries and sub-industries within the natural resources sector. 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. In certain situations, it may be difficult or impossible to sell an investment at an acceptable price. Any fund that focuses in a particular segment of the market or region of the world will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. 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 the Fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.

The U.S. government has imposed restrictions on the ability of U.S. investors to hold and/or acquire securities of certain Chinese companies. To the extent that an Underlying Index includes such a security and the Fund excludes it, the Fund’s tracking error may increase and the performance of the Fund and Underlying Index may diverge.

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 Nasdaq Stock Market, 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.
