Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets UCITS ETF 1D is passively managed. The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Total Return Net Emerging Markets Index which is designed to reflect the performance of the shares of certain companies in global emerging market countries as determined by MSCI.

The companies comprising the index are large and medium sized companies based on the combined value of a company’s readily available shares as compared to other companies.

A company’s weighting in the index depends on its relative size.

The index aims to represent 85% of the readily available shares in each industry sector in the global emerging markets. The underlying constituents of the index are listed in multiple currencies.

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 and may also be rebalanced at other times in order to reflect corporate activity such as mergers and acquisitions.

The index is calculated in US Dollars on a daily basis.

To achieve the aim, the fund will 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.

The fund may also engage in secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to offset the costs of the fund.

These techniques and instruments may include the use of derivatives.

The currency of the fund is USD. The fund distributes up to four times per annum.
