Xtrackers II Germany Government Bond UCITS ETF

The fund is passively managed. The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance of the IBOXX € GERMANY® Index, while seeking to minimise foreign currency fluctuations at share class level. The index reflects certain types of tradable debt (bonds) denominated in Euro or pre-Euro currencies issued by the German government. The composition of the index is rebalanced according to a pre-set methodology. For bonds to be included in the index on a monthly rebalancing date, they must, on the relevant rebalancing date, have a remaining time to maturity of at least one year. The index is calculated on a total return basis, which means that amounts equivalent to interest payments are reinvested in the index. The index is administered by IHS Markit Benchmark Administration Limited and reviewed and rebalanced monthly. To achieve the aim, the fund will i) attempt to replicate the index by buying a portfolio of securities that may comprise the constituents of the index or other unrelated investments as determined by DWS entities 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.
