XTRACKERS MSCI EAFE SMALL CAP HEDGED EQUITY ETF (DBES) Exchange: NYSE ARCA

DELISTED - The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Underlying Index, which is designed to provide exposure to small cap equity securities in developed stock markets outside of the Americas, while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries included in the Underlying Index. The Fund uses a representative sampling indexing strategy in seeking to track the Underlying Index, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of securities in the index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Underlying Index as a whole. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets (but typically far more) in component securities (including depositary receipts in respect of such securities) of the Underlying Index.As of July 31, 2017, the Underlying Index consisted of 2262 securities, with an average market capitalization of approximately $1.06 billion and a minimum market capitalization of approximately $41.7 million, from issuers in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.The Fund enters into forward currency contracts designed to offset the Fund’s exposure to foreign currencies. The Fund hedges each foreign currency in the portfolio to U.S. dollars by selling the applicable foreign currency forward at the one-month forward rate published by WM/Reuters. The amount of forward contracts in the Fund is based on the aggregate exposure of the Fund and Underlying Index to each non-U.S. currency based on currency weights as of the beginning of each month. While this approach is designed to minimize the impact of currency fluctuations on Fund returns, this does not necessarily eliminate exposure to all currency fluctuations. The return of the forward currency contracts may not perfectly offset the actual fluctuations of non-U.S. currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. The Fund may use non-deliverable forward (“NDF”) contracts to execute its hedging transactions. An NDF is a contract where there is no physical settlement of two currencies at maturity (as opposed to deliverable forward contracts, which per their terms are settled by physical delivery of the currencies). Rather, based on the movement of the currencies and the contractually agreed upon exchange rate, a net cash settlement is made by one party to the other in U.S. dollars.The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities from issuers located in developed countries (excluding the United States and Canada) and in instruments designed to hedge against the Fund’s exposure to non-U.S. currencies. As of July 31, 2017, a significant percentage of the Underlying Index was comprised of securities of issuers from Japan (29.6%) and the United Kingdom (18.5%).The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that its Underlying Index is concentrated. As of July 31, 2017, a significant percentage of the Underlying Index was comprised of issuers in the industrials (22.2%) and consumer discretionary (15.9%) sectors.
