To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)

 

 

Dear shareholder,

We are pleased to provide this annual report for our six ETFs tracking the fixed income and equity dividend markets for the period ended May 31, 2022.

Globally, economic recovery had been underway, recouping from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, aided by accelerated vaccinations and high levels of post-infection immunity. However, developments around fast-spreading new variants, like Omicron in Q1 2022, resulted in strict lockdowns and the subsequent resurgence in cases raised concerns over the growth outlook and supply chain constraints. Geopolitical tensions stemming from the war in Ukraine amplified uncertainties and added to the woes of economies globally. Central banks pivoted to higher interest rates in the face of high inflation only to be challenged by slowing growth.

U.S. bond returns were volatile during the reporting period, driven by various economic events throughout the year, coupled with uncertainties around new variants like Omicron. Yields fell initially on moderating economic recovery followed by elevated inflation and hawkish central bank policy shifts buffeting the markets in Q4 2021. The emergence of the Omicron variant, along with the Ukraine war in early 2022, also made markets volatile, influencing a shift to safe haven assets. The U.S. 1-year Treasury yield rose over the reporting period, largely attributed to the first four months of 2022, driven by a significant rate hike in March 2022 and followed by a slight correction in May 2022.

With the Omicron wave easing, Eurozone’s economy continued to recover. Elevated inflation, slower economic growth, and a strong labor market highlighted Eurozone’s economic backdrop, alongside the war unfolding in Ukraine. Latest GDP1 data revealed the Euro Area economy had matched growth in Q4 2021. Developments around the Omicron variant and associated restrictions, as well as the impact of the war in Ukraine on commodity prices and supply chains, were the predominant factors weighing on growth. Eurozone’s inflation treaded higher over the period amid rising geopolitical risks and gas supply concerns, but stabilized in April 2022. Although the labor market remained a bright spot, consumer confidence dropped significantly over the period amid prevalent uncertainties. The accommodative European Central Bank (ECB) pivoted to a more hawkish tone lately. President Lagarde remarked the ECB could end the bond-buying program in July and steer away from negative interest rates by the end of the third quarter, chalking out plans to incorporate further hikes. The UK 10-year yield almost tripled over the reporting period, mostly attributed to an all-time high inflation in the UK and the Bank of England’s raising interest rates in Q1 2022. In the Eurozone, both Germany and Italy have witnessed rising 10-year yields in 2022 as Europe has seen surging inflation and speculation around monetary tightening.

Developments around the pandemic, central banks’ pivoting towards higher interest rates, sticky inflation alongside risks of recession, and geopolitics-fueled uncertainties are major themes for investors to digest. Although labor markets have recovered, and the number of Omicron variant infections receded, consumer confidence has remained weak owing to a less favorable long-term economic outlook. The economic impairment from the war in Ukraine is expected to contribute to a significant slowdown in global growth in 2022. However, a fragmented recovery is anticipated, as policy responses based on the region’s needs would influence growth. Investors remain wary of further actions from central banks as they balance the task of taming inflation and supporting slowing growth.

Sincerely,

/s/ Freddi Klassen

Performance Summary (Unaudited)

 

Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF (ESCR)

The Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF (the “Fund”), using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index (the “Underlying Index”). The Underlying Index is designed to apply environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations to a broader parent index. The Underlying Index generally aims to keep the broad characteristics of its parent index, the Bloomberg US Corporate Index (an investment grade corporate bond universe), resulting in a broad investment grade fixed income market exposure with ESG aspects. On August 24, 2021 the Xtrackers Bloomberg Barclays US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF name changed to Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF. At that time, the Underlying Index was renamed from the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index. The name changes had no impact on the Fund’s investment objective, policies, or investment strategy. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

2 On May 12, 2020, the Fund changed its Underlying Index from Solactive Investment Grade Bond — Interest Rate Hedged Index to the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index. Returns reflect performance for the Solactive Investment Grade Bond — Interest Rate Hedged Index through May 11, 2020.

Prior to May 12, 2020, the Fund was known as Xtrackers Investment Grade Bond — Interest Rate Hedged ETF and had a different investment strategy. Past performance may have been different if the Fund’s current investment strategy had been in effect.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.Xtrackers.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares or redemption of fund creation units. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are sold in the market or redeemed. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of the unitary advisory fee. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower. The gross expense ratio of the Fund, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated October 1, 2021, was 0.15%, and may differ from the expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights table in this report.

The Fund’s net asset value or “NAV” is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.

Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares or redemption of fund creation units. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are sold in the market or redeemed. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of the unitary advisory fee. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower. The gross expense ratio of the Fund, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated October 1, 2021, was 0.20%, and may differ from the expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights table in this report.

The Fund’s net asset value or “NAV” is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including unitary advisory fees and other Fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period the Funds, except for Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples in the tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six month period and held for the entire period (December 1, 2021 to May 31, 2022).

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 May 31, 2022 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 May 31, 2022 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 May 31, 2022 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 May 31, 2022 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 May 31, 2022 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 May 31, 2022 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.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. Organization

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

As of May 31, 2022, the Trust consists of thirty-four 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 Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF*  
Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF  
Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF  
Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF  
Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF  
Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity 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”).

Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF , Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF and Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF offer shares that are listed and traded on the Cboe Bats BZX Exchange. Inc. (“Cboe”). Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF offer shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value, (“NAV”) only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares, each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds, and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Funds, or tender such shares for redemption to the Funds, in Creation Units only.

The investment objective of each Fund is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the “Underlying Index”). The underlying indices for the Funds are:

Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF   J.P. Morgan ESG EMBI Global Diversified Sovereign Index
Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF   J.P. Morgan ESG DM Corporate High Yield USD Index

On August 24, 2021, the Fund changed its name from Xtrackers Bloomberg Barclays US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF to Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF and its Underlying Index from Bloomberg Barclays MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index to the Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index.

The Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index is designed to apply environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations to a broader parent index. The Underlying Index generally aims to keep the broad characteristics of its parent index, the Bloomberg US Corporate Index (an investment grade corporate bond universe), resulting in a broad investment grade fixed income market exposure with ESG aspects. Under normal circumstances, the Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index is reconstituted and rebalanced on a monthly basis.

The J.P. Morgan ESG EMBI Global Diversified Sovereign Index is designed to apply environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations to a broader parent index. The Underlying Index generally aims to keep the

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

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

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

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

Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF and Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF are diversified series of the Trust. Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF are non-diversified and are not limited by the 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. In addition, each Fund, with the exception of Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF , Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, 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 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.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

Municipal debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services approved by the Funds’ Board. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, obtained from broker-dealers. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2.

Corporate and sovereign debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services approved by the Funds’ Board. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, obtained from broker dealers. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2.

Equity securities and ETFs are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade. Securities or ETFs for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation. Equity securities and ETFs are generally categorized as Level 1.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are categorized as Level 1.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board 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.

 

84


DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

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. Dividend income is net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders    It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF , Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF to pay out dividends from its net investment income monthly and Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF to pay out dividends from net investment income quarterly. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Funds reserve the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the year within the components of net assets based on their federal tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements regarding accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on foreign, federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended May 31, 2022, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

At May 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.

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 May 31, 2022, 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, except the Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, 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

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the year ended May 31, 2022, 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 (0.08% annualized effective rate as of May 31, 2022) 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 May 31, 2022, the Funds listed below had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at period end.

Derivatives

Futures Contracts    Each Fund may enter into futures contracts. These futures contracts will be used to simulate investment in the respective Underlying Index, to facilitate trading or to reduce transaction costs. Each Fund will enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. No Fund will use futures for speculative purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific instrument or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. For the year ended May 31, 2022, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.

 

88


DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

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 May 31, 2022 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 May 31, 2022 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

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 and extraordinary expenses.

The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as Administrator, Custodian, Accounting Agent, Lending Agent and Transfer Agent for each Fund.

5. Fund Share Transactions

As of May 31, 2022, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities included in the respective Fund’s Underlying Index and an amount of cash, which under certain circumstances may include cash in lieu of portfolio securities. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

6. 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 May 31, 2022, there was one affiliated shareholder account for each of the funds listed below holding a significant percentage of the shares outstanding:

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. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls or

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

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.

Russia’s recent military incursions in Ukraine have led to, and may lead to additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia. Russia’s military incursion and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect global energy and financial markets and thus could affect the value of the Funds’ investments, even beyond any direct exposure the Funds may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial.

8. 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.

9. Line of Credit

The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF , Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $105 million. Each Fund may borrow money under this credit facility to the extent necessary for temporary or emergency purposes, including the funding of shareholder redemption requests, trade settlements, and as necessary to distribute to shareholders any income necessary to maintain each Funds’ status as a regulated investment company. Borrowings are charged an interest rate of 1.25% per annum plus the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the one-month LIBOR Rate. Each Fund may borrow up to the lesser of 33 percent of its net assets as permitted by the Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Funds had no outstanding loans at May 31, 2022.

10. Other — COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has caused significant uncertainty, market volatility, decreased economic and other activity, increased government activity, including economic stimulus measures, and supply chain interruptions. The full effects, duration and costs of the COVID-19 pandemic are impossible to predict, and the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to evolve, including the risk of future increased rates of infection due to significant portions of the population remaining unvaccinated and/or the lack of effectiveness of current vaccines against new variants. The pandemic has affected and may continue to affect certain countries, industries, economic sectors, companies and investment products more than others, may exacerbate existing economic, political, or social tensions and may increase the probability of an economic recession or depression. The Funds’ and their investments may be adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the pandemic may result in the Funds and their service providers experiencing operational difficulties in coordinating a remote workforce and implementing their business continuity plans, among others. Management will continue to monitor the impact COVID-19 has on the Funds and reflect the consequences as appropriate in the Funds’ accounting and financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders of Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF (formerly known as Xtrackers Bloomberg Barclays US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF), Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and the Board of Trustees of DBX ETF Trust

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF (formerly known as Xtrackers Bloomberg Barclays US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF), Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF (collectively referred to as the “Funds”), (six of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”)), including the schedules of investments, as of May 31, 2022, and the related statements of operations for the year ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds (six of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust) at May 31, 2022, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of the internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Liquidity Risk Management (Unaudited)

 

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 2022, 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, 2020 through November 30, 2021 (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 3 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 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, 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.

Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF, and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF

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 16-17, 2022 (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 Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF, and Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue 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 “Adviser”) 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 also took into consideration the discussions they had with management during the Meeting and among themselves during their Executive Sessions held on February 16 and February 17, 2022. 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 Adviser 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 Adviser.

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 Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from and the discussions it had with the Adviser continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Adviser 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 Adviser, including portfolio management.

The Board considered that the Adviser 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 Adviser pays or arranges for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Adviser or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Adviser 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 Adviser 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 Adviser and by Broadridge. The Board took note of the detailed information provided by the Adviser 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 Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to the Adviser, 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 Adviser, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Funds. The Board also considered the expertise of the Adviser in supervising third party service providers to the Funds, such as the administrator and the custodian, noting the Adviser’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 Adviser, which supports the Funds’ compliance program.

Adviser’s Financial Resources.    In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Adviser to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Adviser’s financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Adviser 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 many of 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, but the following Funds had advisory fees and/or total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements) that were above the average and/or median of their respective Peer Groups:

 

   

Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF

 

   

Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF

The Board considered, however, that Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF’s total expenses were lower than the average and median of its Peer Group.

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 Adviser 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 Adviser and that the Adviser 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 Adviser in developing and rendering services provided to the Funds and the information provided by the Adviser to the Board regarding the Funds’ profitability. The Board considered that the Adviser had provided extensive information about the Adviser’s profitability and the Adviser’s methodology in determining profitability. While the Adviser had provided information about the Adviser’s expenses relating to marketing the Funds, the Board considered the Adviser’s profitability without accounting for such expenses. The Board determined that, although only some of the Funds were profitable as of this time, the Adviser’s profitability with respect to each profitable Fund was not excessive. The Board considered whether the Adviser 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 Adviser 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.

This report is intended for the shareholders of DBX ETF Trust.

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. In certain situations, it may be difficult or impossible to sell an investment at an acceptable price. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Investments in lower-quality (“junk bonds”) and non-rated securities present greater risk of loss than investments in higher-quality securities. Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds and there may be less information available on the financial condition of issuers of municipal securities than for public corporations. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax. Incorporation of ESG criteria in a fund’s investment strategy does not guarantee a return or protect against a loss, limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. ESEB and HDEF are currently non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. Stocks may decline in value. Dividends are not guaranteed. If the dividend-paying stocks held by the Fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the Fund’s ability to generate income may be adversely affected. Performance of the Funds may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in these Funds should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Funds. Please read the prospectus for more information.

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

War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises 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.
