21 April 2023
The board of directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors")
hereby informs the shareholders of the Sub-Funds (the
"Shareholders") that MSCI Limited ("MSCI") made an initial
announcement towards the end of 2022 that certain changes (the
"Changes") would be made to the MSCI ESG Screened family of
indices. DWS liaised with MSCI to understand the nature and scope
of such Changes and shortly before the effective date of such
Changes received all relevant information relating to the Changes
including the scope of indices affected, the simulated impact, and
the updated index methodology in relation to each Reference Index.
The Changes were effective as of 01 March 2023, following the
quarterly rebalancing (the "Effective Date").
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.
1. Overview of the Changes
As of the Effective Date, each Reference Index included:
1.1 Additional environmental, social, and governance ("ESG")
driven revenue screens relating to unconventional and/or arctic oil
and gas extraction, and palm oil as classified by MSCI in their ESG
Business Involvement Screening;
1.2 Additional exclusion criteria on environmental controversies
regarding impacts on biodiversity using MSCI ESG Controversies;
and
1.3 The addition of an overall Greenhouse Gas ("GHG") intensity
reduction target of the Reference Index compared to the relevant
Parent Index as identified by MSCI Climate Change Metrics.
General Information
For the avoidance of doubt, the Sub-Fund's fees will remain
unchanged.
Shareholders who subscribe for Shares in the Sub-Funds on the
primary market and who do not agree with the Changes, are entitled
to redeem their Shares in the Sub-Funds in accordance with the
Prospectus. Such redemptions shall be free of any Redemption Charge
from the date of this notice until the Cut-off Time on 22 May 2023.
Please note that the Company does not charge any redemption fee for
the sale of Shares in the secondary market. Orders to sell Shares
through a stock exchange can be placed via an authorised
intermediary or stockbroker. Shareholders should note that orders
in the secondary market may incur costs over which the Company has
no control and to which the above exemption on redemption charges
does not apply.
Copies of the revised Prospectus and the key information
documents of the Sub-Funds reflecting the Changes will be made
available on the website of the Company (www.Xtrackers.com) on or
around the date of this notice, and copies thereof may be obtained
on request free of charge at the registered office of the Company
or at the offices of foreign representatives, once available.
Shareholders who have any queries or to whom any of the above is
not clear should seek advice from their stockbroker, bank manager,
legal advisor, accountant or other independent financial advisor.
