To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)
Dear shareholder,
We are pleased to provide this semi-annual report for five of our ETFs tracking the fixed income market for the period ended February 28, 2023.
The global economy showed signs of recovery during the reporting period, with financial markets paring some of the year-to-date losses, on the back of easing inflation and prospects of a slowdown in rate hikes. Owing to slowing inflation in the U.S. central banks across developed countries announced slower rate hikes in their fight against rising prices. However, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) continued to hold an accommodative stance on its monetary policy in its push to solidify the economic recovery. While the Russia-Ukraine war continued, concerns surrounding an energy crisis in Europe largely eased as the winter was not as cold as expected. Around the turn of the year, China’s resurgence, after dropping the zero-Covid policy, buoyed markets. In early 2023, developing markets continued to rally even though inflation seemed primed to stay resolute.
Global bond markets ended Q4 2022 on a mixed note, with government bond yields moving up toward the end of the quarter, reflecting market disappointment at the hawkish stance of major central banks, despite signs of easing inflation. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) raised rates four times during the reporting period, ending between 4.50% and 4.75%. The Bank of England (BoE) increased the rate twice to 3.5% at the end of Q4. Meanwhile, the BoJ modified its yield-curve-control policy. U.S. and European investment-grade and high-yield credit bonds outperformed government bonds during the quarter on improved risk sentiment. In the Eurozone, there were signs of slowing inflation toward the end of the quarter owing to a decline in energy prices. Nevertheless, the European Central Bank (ECB) continued to tighten its monetary policy.
Bond prices rose in January 2023 on softening inflation and expectations of an end to the global monetary tightening policy. The Bank of Canada raised the rate by 25bps1, indicating a pause in its hiking cycle. In the U.S. and Europe, credit market bonds outperformed government bonds across high yield and investment grades. Moreover, risk sentiment improved as investors welcomed the news on moderating inflation and higher-than-expected growth in the Eurozone and China.
A rebound in economic activity resulted in higher bond yields globally in February 2023. Bonds declined for the month, negating much of the prior month’s returns. The Fed, the ECB, and the BoE announced rate hikes at the beginning of February. Of late, investors have been wary of an expected improvement in the near-term global economic situation, as this implies that the interest rate will likely remain high longer than expected in order to tame inflation.
We believe 2023 will be a year of tackling uncertainties that can plague the investment environment including inflation rates, interest rate hikes, changing economic growth prospects, and geopolitical developments. Although there is a chance of a recession in 2023, we believe it will likely be shallow and mild, given the absence of structural imbalances in the economy. Meanwhile we believe slowing demand and declining housing prices are likely to slow inflation and prompt the major central banks around the globe to pause or scale back further rate hikes.
Our team appreciates your trust and looks forward to serving your investment needs through innovative index-driven strategies.
Sincerely,
/s/ Freddi Klassen

DBX ETF Trust
As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including unitary advisory fees and other fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period the Funds limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. In addition to the ongoing expenses which each Fund bears directly, the Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF shareholders indirectly bear the expenses of Xtrackers High Beta High Yield Bond ETF and Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (the “Underlying Funds”) in which the Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF invests. The Underlying Funds’ expenses are not included in Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF’s annualized expense ratios used to calculate the expense estimate in the tables. 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 (September 1, 2022 to February 28, 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.

(1) Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181 (the number of days in the most recent six-month period), then divided by 365.
(2) The Fund invests in other ETFs and indirectly bears its proportionate share of fees and expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds in which the Fund is invested. This ratio does not include these indirect fees and expenses.

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 28, 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 February 28, 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 February 28, 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 February 28, 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 February 28, 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.

DBX ETF Trust
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 28, 2023, the Trust consists of thirty-eight 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, each a diversified series of the Trust:
Xtrackers High Beta High Yield Bond ETF
Xtrackers Low Beta High Yield Bond ETF
Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF
Xtrackers Short Duration High Yield Bond ETF
Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF
DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS Group”), serves as investment advisor to the Funds and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”).
Each Fund offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares, except for Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF which lots consist of 25,000 shares and Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF which lots consist of 100,000 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:
Fund |
Underlying Index | |
Xtrackers High Beta High Yield Bond ETF | Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market High Beta Index | |
Xtrackers Low Beta High Yield Bond ETF | Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Low Beta Index | |
Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF | Adaptive Wealth Strategies Risk Managed High Yield Index | |
Xtrackers Short Duration High Yield Bond ETF | Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market 0-5 Year Index | |
Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF | Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Index |
The Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market High Beta Index is designed to track the performance of the segment of the US dollar-denominated high yield corporate bond market that exhibits higher overall beta to the broader high yield corporate fixed income market. The Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Low Beta Index is designed to track the performance of the segment of the US dollar-denominated high yield corporate bond market that exhibits lower overall beta to the broader high yield corporate fixed income market. The Adaptive Wealth Strategies Risk Managed High Yield Index is designed to track the performance of the US dollar-denominated high yield corporate bond market during normal market conditions, and the performance of a USD cash position accruing interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate (the interest rate depository institutions such as banks charge each other for overnight loans to meet their reserve requirements) during periods of adverse market conditions. The Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market 0-5 Year Index is designed to track the performance of short-term publicly issued US dollar-denominated below investment grade corporate debt. The Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Index is designed to track the performance of a basket of U.S. dollar-denominated high yield liquid corporate bonds. Under normal circumstances, the Solactive Indexes are reconstituted monthly on the last day of each month. The Funds reconstitute and rebalance their portfolios in accordance with their respective underlying indexes, and therefore any changes to the underlying indexes reconstitution and rebalance schedules will result in corresponding changes to a Fund’s reconstitution and rebalance schedule.
Each Fund is entitled to use its respective Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no direct charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.

DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF is non-diversified and is 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.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Security Valuation The NAV of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
The Funds’ Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor’s Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
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.
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. 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. 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.
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; length of time of a halt in trading of the security; movement in the security’s proxy index; and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index
Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Cash Cash consists of cash held at banks and is on deposit with major financial institutions.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the identified cost-method. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes. Distributions of income and capital gains from investments in affiliated funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of each Fund to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors monthly. 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 28, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

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

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, and foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories. Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of February 28, 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 The Funds may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of their securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans the Funds continue to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort
69
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the period ended February 28, 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 (0.07% annualized effective rate as of February 28, 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 February 28, 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.

5. Fund Share Transactions

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 USD High Yield Corporate Bond 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 Fund had no outstanding loans at February 28, 2023.

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 (the “Advisor”) 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). The Advisor has designated a committee (the “Committee”) composed of personnel from multiple departments within an affiliate of the Advisor 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 2023, as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule, the Advisor 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, 2021 through November 30, 2022 (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, your Fund did not approach 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). Your Fund did not experience any issues meeting investor redemptions at any time during the Reporting Period. In the Report, the Advisor stated that it believes the Program has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Fund’s liquidity risk during the Reporting Period. The Advisor 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 15-16, 2023 (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 High Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Low Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Short Duration High Yield Bond ETF, and Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond 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 13, 2023 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 15 and February 16, 2023.
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 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.
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.

Investing involves risk, including the 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. 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. Investing in a single industry, or group of industries, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Investments in lower-quality (“junk bonds”) and non-rated securities present greater risk of loss than investments in higher-quality securities. Distressed securities are speculative and involve substantial risks beyond the risks of investing in junk bonds, such as no interest payments or repayment of principal, or the loss of the entire investment in the distressed security. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. HYRM is currently non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. 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.
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.
