Xtrackers II US Treasuries UCITS ETF 2C – GBP Hedged

The fund is passively managed. The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance of the IBOXX $ TREASURIES Index, while seeking to minimise foreign currency fluctuations at share class level. The index reflects the performance of tradable debt (bonds) denominated in US Dollars issued by the US government.

The composition of the index is rebalanced according to a pre-set methodology. For bonds to be included in the index they must have a minimum maturity of 18 months when they are issued, and, on the relevant rebalancing date, have a remaining time to maturity of at least one year. The bonds must have at least $1 billion outstanding.

The index is calculated on a total return basis, which means that amounts equivalent to interest payments on the bonds are reinvested in the index. The index is reviewed and re-balanced monthly and is administered by IHS Markit Benchmark Administration Limited.

To achieve the aim, the fund will i) attempt to replicate the index, before fees and expenses, 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

Xtrackers II Eurozone Government Bond 3-5 UCITS ETF 2D – GBP Hedged

The fund is passively managed. The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance of the Markit iBoxx EUR Eurozone (DE ES FR IT NL) 3-5 Index (index), while seeking to minimise foreign currency fluctuations at share class level.

The index reflects the performance of tradable debt (bonds) denominated in Euro or pre-Euro currencies issued by governments of five Eurozone countries: France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Spain. The composition of the index is rebalanced according to a pre-set methodology.

For bonds to be included in the index they must, on the relevant rebalancing date, have a remaining time to maturity of at least 3 years and up to 5 years. The bonds must have a fixed rate of interest and must be part of an issue of debt which has at least €1 billion in principal outstanding.

The index is calculated on a total return basis, which means that amounts equivalent to interest payments on the bonds are reinvested in the index. The index is administered by IHS Markit Benchmark Administration Limited and reviewed and rebalanced monthly.

Xtrackers USD Corporate Bond UCITS ETF 5D – GBP Hedged

The fund is passively managed. The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance of the Bloomberg USD Liquid Investment Grade Corporate Index, while seeking to minimise foreign currency fluctuations at share class level. The index is designed to reflect the performance of fixed-interest tradable debt (bonds) which are investments that pay out a fixed level of income or interest.

The bonds are issued by financial, utility or industrial US and non-US companies that meet specific maturity, credit rating and liquidity requirements. Bonds are only eligible for inclusion in the index if they meet certain pre-determined standards. They must also be rated as “investment grade”, meaning they have been judged by an independent agency as likely to meet their payment obligations.

The index is calculated on a total return basis. This means that all interest payments received from bonds are reinvested in the index.

The index is reviewed and rebalanced monthly.
