DWS Xtrackers MSCI Japan Screened UCITS ETF

The aim is for your investment to track the performance of the MSCI Japan Select Screened Index (index), while seeking to minimise foreign currency fluctuations at share class level. The index is based on the MSCI Japan Index (Parent Index), which is designed to reflect the performance of the shares of large and medium capitalisation companies in Japan. In order to be eligible for inclusion in the index, companies must be eligible for inclusion in the Parent Index and must meet certain ESG screening criteria. The index is administered by MSCI Limited.Securities which breach certain ESG standards, as disclosed in the prospectus and/or supplement, are excluded. The index also includes a carbon emission reduction rule, whereby if having applied the above exclusions, the Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) intensity of the index has been insufficiently reduced compared to the Parent Index, constituents are excluded by descending order of GHG intensity until a relevant reduction threshold is achieved. The remaining securities are then weighted by their free float adjusted market capitalisation and are also subject to certain sector weight adjustments.The index is administered by MSCI Limited. The index is calculated on a total return net basis, which means that all dividends and distributions by the companies are reinvested in the shares after tax. The index is reviewed and rebalanced on a quarterly basis. The index is calculated in Japanese Yen on a daily basis.To achieve the aim, the fund will i) attempt to replicate the index, before fees and expenses, by buying all or a substantial number of the securities in the index and ii) enter into financial contracts (derivatives) which attempt to reduce the effect of exchange rate fluctuations between the currency of the fund's assets and the currency of your shares.The fund may employ techniques and instruments in order to manage risk, reduce costs and improve results. These techniques and instruments may include the use of financial contracts (derivatives). The fund may also engage in secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties subject to certain ESG criteria to generate additional income to offset the costs of the fund.
