Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF (EMSG) Exchange: NYSE ARCA

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 a capitalization weighted index that provides exposure to companies with high environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) performance relative to their sector peers. The Underlying Index consists of large- and medium-capitalization companies across emerging markets countries. Emerging markets countries are countries that major international financial institutions, such as the World Bank, generally consider to be less economically mature than developed nations. Emerging markets countries can include every nation in the world except the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and countries located in Western Europe. The Underlying Index is rebalanced quarterly in February, May, August and November, and thus the Fund rebalances its portfolio in a corresponding fashion.The Underlying Index uses MSCI ESG Ratings, MSCI ESG Controversies and MSCI Business Involvement Screening Research (collectively, “MSCI ESG Research”) to determine index components for the Underlying Index. MSCI ESG Ratings provides research, analysis and ratings of how well companies manage their ESG risks and opportunities. MSCI ESG Ratings provides a company with an overall ESG rating on a seven point scale, ranging from ‘AAA’ to ‘CCC.’ Existing constituents of the Underlying Index are required to have an MSCI ESG rating above CCC to remain in the index, while companies that are currently not constituents of the Underlying Index are required to have an MSCI ESG rating above B to be considered eligible for addition. MSCI ESG Controversies provides assessments of controversies concerning the negative ESG of company operations, products and services. MSCI ESG Controversies score companies on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being the most severe controversy. Existing constituents of the Underlying Index are required to have an MSCI ESG Controversies Score above 0 to remain in the index, while companies that are currently not constituents of the Underlying Index are required to have an MSCI ESG Controversies Score above 2 to be considered eligible for addition. MSCI ESG Business Involvement Screening Research aims to enable institutional investors to manage ESG standards and restrictions reliably and efficiently. Companies that are involved in specific businesses which have high potential for negative social and/or environmental impact, such as companies in the alcohol, tobacco, gambling, nuclear power, conventional and controversial weapons and civilian firearms industries, are ineligible for inclusion.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 October 31, 2018, the Underlying Index consisted of 406 securities, with an average market capitalization of approximately $11.13 billion and a minimum market capitalization of approximately $832 million, from issuers in the following countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of issuers from emerging markets countries. As of October, 2018, a significant percentage of the Underlying Index was comprised of securities of issuers from Hong Kong (20.4%) and Taiwan (17.3%).The Fund is classified as non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). 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.
