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

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including unitary advisory fees and other fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period the Funds limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. 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.
