Luxembourg, 28 December 2022
The board of directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors")
hereby informs the shareholders of the Sub-Funds (the
"Shareholders") that it has resolved to make certain changes to the
Sub-Funds, as detailed below (collectively referred to as the
"Changes").
Capitalised terms used in this notice shall have the same
meaning ascribed to them in the latest version of the prospectus of
the Company (the "Prospectus") unless the context otherwise
requires.
The Changes in relation to each Sub-Fund will be carried out on
a date from, and including, 13 February 2023 to, and including, 12
August 2023 (each an "Effective Date"). A notice will be published
on the website of the Company, www.Xtrackers.com, on or around the
relevant Effective Date confirming implementation of the
Changes.
Investment Policy change
Currently the Sub-Funds are passively managed in accordance with
an Indirect Investment Policy. As from the relevant Effective Date,
each Sub-Fund will be passively managed in accordance with a Direct
Investment Policy and will become a Full Replication Fund. To
achieve the Investment Objective, each Sub-Fund will attempt to
replicate the relevant Reference Index by buying all or a
substantial number of the constituents of each Reference Index.
Sub-Fund name change
As a result of the Changes, the Board of Directors has resolved
to change the name of each Sub-Fund as follows, with effect from
the relevant Effective Date:
Current Sub-Fund name New Sub-Fund name

Securities Lending
With effect from the relevant Effective Date, Xtrackers MSCI EM
Asia ESG Screened Swap UCITS ETF may start engaging in securities
lending activities to generate additional income and reduce costs,
in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Prospectus.
Where the Sub-Fund enters into Securities Lending Transactions,
the collateral received in relation to such transactions shall
comply with ESG standards as determined by the relevant Investment
Manager, Sub-Portfolio Manager and/or Securities Lending Agent, in
accordance with and within the limits set forth in the Agency
Securities Lending and Repurchase Agreement and in addition to the
criteria defined under the sections "Collateral Arrangements in
Respect of Securities Lending Transaction(s)" and "Securities
Lending and Repurchase Transactions" of this Prospectus. Equity
collateral conforming to such ESG standards shall be identified by
reference to an appropriate developed market ESG equity index, as
determined from time to time by the relevant Investment Manager,
Sub-Portfolio Manager and/or Securities Lending Agent and will
incorporate as a minimum ESG screens substantially similar to those
of the Reference Index. The securities held as collateral in
respect to Securities Lending Transactions are available on the
website of the Company www.Xtrackers.com.
For the avoidance of doubt the other three Sub-Funds will not
engage in securities lending activities.
Change in Cut-Off Time
As from the relevant Effective Date, the applicable Cut-off Time
of the Sub-Fund Xtrackers MSCI EM Europe, Middle East & Africa
ESG Swap UCITS ETF shall be amended from 5.00 p.m. Luxembourg time
on the Business Day prior to the Transaction Day to 4.30 p.m.
Luxembourg time on the relevant Transaction Day.
For avoidance of doubt the Cut-off Time of the other Sub-Funds
remain unchanged as per Prospectus.
General Information
For the avoidance of doubt, the Sub-Funds' Investment Objectives
and fees will remain unchanged.
Shareholders should be aware that material transaction costs and
duties may arise as a result of the Changes, which will be borne by
the Sub-Funds.
Shareholders who subscribe for Shares in the Sub-Funds on the
primary market and who do not agree with the Changes, are entitled

Shares in the secondary market. Orders to sell Shares through a
stock exchange can be placed via an authorised intermediary or

market may incur costs over which the Company has no control and to
