# Xtrackers MSCI Japan ESG UCITS ETF Share class: 1C, ISIN: IE00BG36TC12, Security code: A2JHSE, Currency: USD 

a sub-fund of Xtrackers (IE) plc. The management company is DWS Investment S.A., a member of the DWS Group. 

# Objectives and investment policy 

The fund is passively managed. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The aim is for your investment to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Japan Low Carbon SRI Selection Index (index). DESCRIPTION OF INDEX: The index is based on the MSCI Japan Index (Parent Index), which is designed to reflect the performance of certain shares in large and medium-sized listed companies in Japan. In order to be eligible for inclusion in the index, companies must be eligible for inclusion in the Parent Index and must display high environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and low current and potential carbon exposure, relative to their regional and sector peers.ESG CRITERIA: The constituent selection process is based on three sets of rules applied as disclosed in the prospectus and/or supplement. Firstly, the Low Carbon Transition Risk Assessment Rules and High ESG Performance Selection Rules are applied simultaneously, followed by the Low Carbon Emissions Rules. As part of the High ESG Performance Selection Rules, MSCI ESG Ratings and MSCI ESG Controversies criteria in line with, or more restrictive than, the MSCI ESG Leaders Indexes methodology are used to identify and exclude further companies based on ESG criteria. The index targets companies with high ESG Ratings relative to sector peers by targeting 50% of the free-float adjusted market cap within each sector of the Parent Index, with the remaining stocks excluded (effectively a “best-in-class” approach). The ESG Criteria comprise the requirements as laid out in Article 12(1)(a) to (g) of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818 (“PAB Exclusions”). The remaining securities are then weighted by their free-float adjusted market capitalisation and are also subject to a relative weight cap against their weight in the Parent Index. ESG CRITERIA LIMITATIONS: The ESG criteria is embedded within the 

index selection process. The company is solely relying on the activities conducted and information provided by the index administrator and MSCI ESG Research LLC for the ESG screening. ESG information from third-party data providers may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. As a result, there is a risk that the index administrator may incorrectly assess a security or issuer, resulting in the incorrect inclusion or exclusion of a security in the index. INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION: 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. The index is calculated in US Dollars on a daily basis. INVESTMENT POLICY: To achieve the aim, the fund will attempt to replicate the index, before fees and expenses, by buying all or a substantial number of the securities in the index. The fund may employ techniques and instruments in order to manage risk, reduce costs and improve results. These techniques and instruments may include the use of financial contracts (derivatives). FURTHER INFORMATION: Certain information (including the latest share prices of the fund, indicative net asset values, full disclosure on the composition of the fund's portfolio and information on the index constituents) are available on your local DWS website or at www.Xtrackers.com. Transaction costs and taxes, unexpected fund costs and market conditions such as volatility or liquidity issues may affect the ability of the fund to track the index. The anticipated level of tracking error in normal market conditions is 1 per cent. The currency of the fund is USD. Returns and gains are not distributed but are reinvested in the fund. You may request the redemption of shares generally on a daily basis.

The calculation of the risk and reward profile is based on historical data that cannot be used as a reliable indicator for the future risk profile. This risk indicator is subject to changes; the classification of the fund may change over time and cannot be guaranteed. Even a fund that is classified in the lowest category (category 1) does not represent a completely risk-free investment. The fund is classified in category 6 because its share price may fluctuate strongly and the likelihood of both losses and gains may therefore be high. The following risks could be of particular significance for the fund: The fund will attempt to replicate the performance of the index less costs, but your investment is not expected to match the performance of the index precisely. EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES RISK: Exceptional circumstances may arise, such as, but not limited to, disruptive market conditions, additional costs/taxes or extremely volatile markets, which may cause the fund's performance to be substantially different from the performance of the index. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST RISK: DWS entities and related companies may act in several roles in relation to the fund such as distributor and management company which may involve conflicts of interest. NO GUARANTEE RISK: The fund is not guaranteed and your investment is at risk. The value of your investment may go down as well as up. SHARES RISK: The value of an investment in shares will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, market and economic conditions, 

sector, geographical region and political events. REGION CONCENTRATION RISK: The fund is exposed to market movements in a single country or region which may be adversely affected by political or economic developments, government action or natural events that do not affect a fund investing in broader markets. SUSTAINABILITY RISK: The ESG screening criteria are embedded within the index selection process, which seeks to exclude securities issued by companies involved in certain activities. The investment manager and sub-portfolio manager are not responsible for monitoring the screening process or confirming that all securities which pass the screening process are issued by companies with adequate ESG standards. The company is solely relying on the activities conducted by and information provided by the administrator of the index and MSCI ESG Research LLC for the ESG screening. ESG information from third-party data providers may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. As a result, there is a risk that the index administrator may incorrectly assess a security or issuer, resulting in the incorrect inclusion or exclusion of a security in the index. The index is rules-based and is not capable of being adjusted to take into account changing market circumstances. As a result you may be negatively affected by, or may not benefit from, the lack of such adjustments in changing market circumstances. DERIVATIVES RISK: The fund may use derivatives for investment purposes and to try to manage its investments more efficiently. They may not always be successful and may result in greater fluctuations in the value of the fund. This may negatively affect the value of the fund and your investments. 

A more detailed description of risks and other general information can be found in the risk section(s) of the prospectus.
