How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market High Beta Index (the Underlying Index).

The Fund returned 9.45% for the period ended August 31, 2025. The Fund's underlying index returned 9.53% and the Fund's broad-based index the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index returned 3.72% during the same period, while the Fund's additional, more narrowly based index, the Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Index, returned 8.10%.

All sectors contributed positively to performance during the period with the greatest contribution coming from Communications, Consumer Cyclical and Consumer Non-Cyclical.

The index includes U.S. Treasury bonds, investment-grade and high yield U.S. corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and Eurodollar bonds.

The Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index is a required broad-based index that represents the fund’s overall debt market.

The Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Index is designed to track the performance of the segment of the U.S. dollar-denominated high yield liquid corporate bonds. 

The Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Index is a more narrowly based index that reflects the market sector in which the Fund invests.

Average Annual Total Returns

 

Performance shown is historical. The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor or guarantee of the Fund's future performance. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The performance graph and returns table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. To obtain the most recent month-end performance data visit etf.dws.com/en-us/etf-products or call (844) 851-4255.

Modified duration to worst is the measure of sensitivity of the prices of bonds held by the Fund to a change in interest rates, computed using each bond's nearest call or maturity date.

What did the Fund invest in? 

The quality ratings represent the highest of Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Fitch Ratings Inc. (Fitch) credit ratings. The ratings of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch represent their opinions as to the quality of the securities they rate. Credit quality measures a bond issuer’s ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner and is measured on a scale that ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. Credit quality does not remove market risk and is subject to change.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status. 

Bond investments are subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investments in lower-quality (“junk bonds”) and non-rated securities present greater risk of loss than investments in higher-quality securities. Distressed securities are speculative and involve substantial risks beyond the risks of investing in junk bonds, such as no interest payments or repayment of principal, or the loss of the entire investment in the distressed security. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Funds investing in a single industry (or group of industries), country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in this Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund. See the prospectus for details. 

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. We advise you to consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund, which can be requested by calling (844) 851‑4255, or visit dws.com/etfreports to view or download a prospectus.

Average Annual Total Returns

 

Performance shown is historical. The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor or guarantee of the Fund's future performance. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The performance graph and returns table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. To obtain the most recent month-end performance data visit etf.dws.com/en-us/etf-products or call (844) 851-4255.

Modified duration to worst is the measure of sensitivity of the prices of bonds held by the Fund to a change in interest rates, computed using each bond's nearest call or maturity date.

What did the Fund invest in? 

The quality ratings represent the highest of Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Fitch Ratings Inc. (Fitch) credit ratings. The ratings of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch represent their opinions as to the quality of the securities they rate. Credit quality measures a bond issuer’s ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner and is measured on a scale that ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. Credit quality does not remove market risk and is subject to change.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status. 

Bond investments are subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investments in lower-quality (“junk bonds”) and non-rated securities present greater risk of loss than investments in higher-quality securities. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Funds investing in a single industry (or group of industries), country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the underlying index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in this Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund. See the prospectus for details. 

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. We advise you to consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund, which can be requested by calling (844) 851‑4255, or visit dws.com/etfreports to view or download a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

This report describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period.

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Adaptive Wealth Strategies Risk Managed High Yield Index (the Underlying Index). The Underlying Index is designed to track the performance of the US dollar-denominated high yield corporate bond market during normal market conditions, and the performance of a USD cash position accruing interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate (the interest rate depository institutions such as banks charge each other for overnight loans to meet their reserve requirements) during periods of adverse market conditions. 

The Fund returned 5.34% for the period ended August 31, 2025. The Fund's underlying index returned 5.74% and the Fund's broad-based index the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index returned 3.72% during the same period, while the Fund's additional, more narrowly based index, the Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Index, returned 8.10%.

All sectors contributed positively to performance during the period with the greatest contribution coming from Communications, Consumer Cyclical and Consumer Non-Cyclical.

Fund Performance

Adaptive Wealth Strategies Risk Managed High Yield Index is designed to track the performance of the US dollar-denominated high yield corporate bond market during normal market conditions, and the performance of a USD cash position accruing interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate (the interest rate depository institutions such as banks charge each other for overnight loans to meet their reserve requirements) during periods of adverse market conditions.

Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index measures the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated taxable bonds that are rated either investment grade or high yield. The index includes U.S. Treasury bonds, investment-grade and high yield U.S. corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and Eurodollar bonds. 

The Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index is a required broad-based index that represents the fund’s overall debt market.

The Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Index is designed to track the performance of the segment of the U.S. dollar-denominated high yield liquid corporate bonds.

The Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Index is a more narrowly based index that reflects the market sector in which the Fund invests.

Index returns do not reflect any fees or expenses and it is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

What did the Fund invest in? 

The quality ratings represent the highest of Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Fitch Ratings Inc. (Fitch) credit ratings. The ratings of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch represent their opinions as to the quality of the securities they rate.

Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. Credit quality does not remove market risk and is subject to change.

Householding

Bond investments are subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Funds investing in a single industry (or group of industries), country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Investments in lower-quality ("junk bonds") and non-rated securities present greater risk of loss than investments in higher-quality securities. Performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in this Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund. Please read the prospectus for more information. 

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. We advise you to consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund, which can be requested by calling (844) 851‑4255, or visit dws.com/etfreports to view or download a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Bond investments are subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Funds investing in a single industry (or group of industries), country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Investments in lower-quality ("junk bonds") and non-rated securities present greater risk of loss than investments in higher-quality securities.

Average Annual Total Returns

 

Performance shown is historical. The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor or guarantee of the Fund's future performance. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The performance graph and returns table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. To obtain the most recent month-end performance data visit etf.dws.com/en-us/etf-products or call (844) 851-4255.

Modified duration to worst is the measure of sensitivity of the prices of bonds held by the Fund to a change in interest rates, computed using each bond's nearest call or maturity date.

What did the Fund invest in? 

The quality ratings represent the highest of Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Fitch Ratings Inc. (Fitch) credit ratings. The ratings of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch represent their opinions as to the quality of the securities they rate. Credit quality measures a bond issuer’s ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner and is measured on a scale that ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. Credit quality does not remove market risk and is subject to change.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status. 

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Bond investments are subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity, and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. This Fund is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. An investment in the Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.

Modified duration to worst is the measure of sensitivity of the prices of bonds held by the Fund to a change in interest rates, computed using each bond's nearest call or maturity date.

What did the Fund invest in? 

The quality ratings represent the highest of Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Fitch Ratings Inc. (Fitch) credit ratings. The ratings of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch represent their opinions as to the quality of the securities they rate. Credit quality measures a bond issuer’s ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner and is measured on a scale that ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. Credit quality does not remove market risk and is subject to change.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status. 

Bond investments are subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Funds investing in a single industry (or group of industries), country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Investments in lower-quality ("junk bonds") and non-rated securities present greater risk of loss than investments in higher-quality securities. Performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in this Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund. Please read the prospectus for more information. 

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. We advise you to consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund, which can be requested by calling (844) 851‑4255, or visit dws.com/etfreports to view or download a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P 500® Diversified Sector Weight Index (the Underlying Index). The Underlying Index is designed to track the performance of the constituent securities of the S&P 500® Index reweighted to mitigate concentration risk and address sector imbalances. The S&P 500® Diversified Sector Weight Index’s reweighting approach is intended to provide a return more representative of all the business opportunities inherent to the S&P 500®, rather than a return tied principally to the business opportunities represented by the S&P 500’s® largest constituent companies.

The Fund returned 0.88% for the period ended August 31, 2025. The Fund's underlying index returned 0.91% and the Fund's broad-based index the S&P 500® Index returned 1.73% during the same period.

The majority of sectors contributed positively to performance during the period with the greatest contribution coming from Financials, Consumer Discretionary and Energy. Information Technology, Consumer Staples and Materials sectors contributed negatively to performance.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. The securities markets are volatile and the market prices of the fund's securities may decline. If the market prices of the securities owned by the fund fall, the value of your investment in the fund will decline. Performance of the fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. ETFs also incur fees and expenses so they may not fully match the performance of the indexes they are designed to track. An investment in the fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.

Householding

Stocks may decline in value. This Fund is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. An investment in this Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Incorporation of ESG criteria in the fund’s investment strategy does not guarantee a return or protect against a loss, limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the fund and, as a result, the fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. Stocks may decline in value. Stocks of medium-sized companies involve greater risk than securities of larger, more-established companies. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Performance of the fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. This fund is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. An investment in this Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the fund.

Material Fund Changes

This is a summary of certain changes of the Fund since September 1, 2024. For more information, review the Fund's current prospectus at dws.com/etfreports, or by calling (844) 851-4255.

 

Effective February 10, 2025, the Fund changed its name from Xtrackers S&P ESG Dividend Aristocrats ETF to Xtrackers S&P Dividend Aristocrats Screened ETF due to a change in the name of the Fund's Underlying Index from S&P ESG High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index to S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Screened Index. The change in the Underlying Index’s name did not involve any changes to its methodology or any changes in the Fund’s investment policies. 

Additional Information

If you wish to view additional information about the Fund, including, but not limited to, its prospectus, quarterly holdings, and financial statements and other information, please visit dws.com/etfreports. For information about the Fund's proxy voting policies and procedures and how the Fund voted proxies related to its portfolio securities, please visit dws.com/en-us/resources/proxy-voting. This additional information is also available free of charge by contacting us at (844) 851-4255.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status. 

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Incorporation of ESG criteria in the Fund’s investment strategy does not guarantee a return or protect against a loss, limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. Stocks may decline in value. This Fund is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. An investment in this Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Fund. Please read the prospectus for more information. 

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. We advise you to consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund, which can be requested by calling (844) 851‑4255, or visit dws.com/etfreports to view or download a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Performance shown is historical. The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor or guarantee of the Fund's future performance. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The performance graph and returns table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. To obtain the most recent month-end performance data visit etf.dws.com/en-us/etf-products or call (844) 851-4255.

Additional Information

If you wish to view additional information about the Fund, including, but not limited to, its prospectus, quarterly holdings, and financial statements and other information, please visit dws.com/etfreports. For information about the Fund's proxy voting policies and procedures and how the Fund voted proxies related to its portfolio securities, please visit dws.com/en-us/resources/proxy-voting. This additional information is also available free of charge by contacting us at (844) 851-4255.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status. 

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Because the Fund seeks to provide exposure to stocks based on the following multifactors – value, momentum, quality, low volatility and size – it is expected exposure to such investment factors will detract from performance in some market environments, as more fully explained in the Fund’s prospectus. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in US companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in any fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund. Please read the prospectus for more information. 

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. We advise you to consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund, which can be requested by calling (844) 851‑4255, or visit dws.com/etfreports to view or download a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Average Annual Total Returns

 

Performance shown is historical. The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor or guarantee of the Fund's future performance. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The performance graph and returns table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. To obtain the most recent month-end performance data visit etf.dws.com/en-us/etf-products or call (844) 851-4255.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status. 

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Because the Fund seeks to provide exposure to stocks based on the following factors – quality and value – it is expected exposure to such investment factors will detract from performance in some market environments, as more fully explained in the Fund’s prospectus. Performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in any fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. We advise you to consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund, which can be requested by calling (844) 851‑4255, or visit dws.com/etfreports to view or download a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Russell 1000® Comprehensive Factor Index (the Underlying Index). The Underlying Index is designed to track the equity market performance of companies in the United States selected on the investment style criteria (“factors”) of value, momentum, quality, low volatility and size. The companies eligible for the Underlying Index are derived from its starting universe, the Russell 1000® Index, which is comprised of large-cap equity securities from issuers in the United States.

The Fund returned 8.87% for the period ended August 31, 2025. The Fund's underlying index returned 9.00% and the Fund's broad-based index the Russell 1000® Index returned 16.24% during the same period.

The majority of sectors contributed positively to performance during the period with the greatest contribution coming from Industrials, Financials and Utilities. Materials was the only sector that contributed negatively to performance.

Performance shown is historical. The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor or guarantee of the Fund's future performance. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The performance graph and returns table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. To obtain the most recent month-end performance data visit etf.dws.com/en-us/etf-products or call (844) 851-4255.

Additional Information

If you wish to view additional information about the Fund, including, but not limited to, its prospectus, quarterly holdings, and financial statements and other information, please visit dws.com/etfreports. For information about the Fund's proxy voting policies and procedures and how the Fund voted proxies related to its portfolio securities, please visit dws.com/en-us/resources/proxy-voting. This additional information is also available free of charge by contacting us at (844) 851-4255.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status. 

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Because the Fund seeks to provide exposure to stocks based on the following multifactors – value, momentum, quality, low volatility and size – it is expected exposure to such investment factors will detract from performance in some market environments, as more fully explained in the fund’s prospectus. Performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in any fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund. Please read the prospectus for more information. 

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. We advise you to consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund, which can be requested by calling (844) 851‑4255, or visit dws.com/etfreports to view or download a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive ISS Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction & Climate Improvers Index NTR (the Underlying Index). The Underlying Index is comprised of large and mid-capitalization companies in emerging markets countries that meet certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria and/or have committed to greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. The Underlying Index is then weighted in such a manner seeking to align its constituent companies’ greenhouse gas emissions with the long-term global warming target of the Paris Climate Agreement.

The Fund returned 20.43% for the period ended August 31, 2025. The Fund's underlying index returned 20.05% and the Fund's broad-based index the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 16.80% during the same period.

The majority of sectors contributed positively to performance during the period with the greatest contribution coming from Financials, Communication Services and Information Technology. Consumer Staples and Utilities sectors detracted from performance. From a geographical perspective, the majority of countries contributed positively to performance during the period with the greatest contribution coming from Hong Kong, Taiwan and China while India, Indonesia and South Africa contributed negatively to performance.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status. 

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Incorporation of ESG criteria in the Fund's investment strategy does not guarantee a return or protect against a loss, limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. The Underlying Index's methodology for identifying companies attempting to reduce their carbon footprint limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not follow a carbon reduction strategy. Stocks may decline in value. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in US companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in this Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Fund. In certain situations, it may be difficult or impossible to sell an investment at an acceptable price. Any fund that focuses in a particular segment of the market or region of the world will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. Please read the applicable prospectus for more information.

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. We advise you to consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund, which can be requested by calling (844) 851‑4255, or visit dws.com/etfreports to view or download a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Average Annual Total Returns

 

Performance shown is historical. The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor or guarantee of the Fund's future performance. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The performance graph and returns table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. To obtain the most recent month-end performance data visit etf.dws.com/en-us/etf-products or call (844) 851-4255.

Average Annual Total Returns

Prior to November 4, 2024, the Fund operated with a different investment strategy, including tracking a different underlying index. Performance may have been different if the Fund’s current investment strategy had been in effect. Index returns prior to November 4, 2024 reflect that of the prior underlying index..

 

Performance shown is historical. The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor or guarantee of the Fund's future performance. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The performance graph and returns table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. To obtain the most recent month-end performance data visit etf.dws.com/en-us/etf-products or call (844) 851-4255.

Material Fund Changes

This is a summary of certain changes of the Fund since September 1, 2024. For more information, review the Fund's current prospectus at dws.com/etfreports, or by calling (844) 851-4255.

 

Effective November 5, 2024:

 

i. the Fund's name changed from Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF to Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Climate Selection ETF;

 

ii. the Fund’s investment objective changed from seeking investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Index to seeking investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Global Climate 500 Emerging Markets Selection Index; and

 

iii. the Fund’s Underlying Index changed from the MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Index to the MSCI Global Climate 500 Emerging Markets Selection Index.

 

Effective November 5, 2024, the Fund began a contractual expense limitation that capped the fund’s operating expenses at 0.15%. Prior to November 5, 2024 the Fund did not have a contractual cap.

 

Effective November 12, 2024, the Fund’s unitary advisory fee was reduced from 0.20% to 0.15%. At the same time, the Board terminated the contractual expense limitation that capped the fund’s operating expenses at the same level because of the redundancy. 

Additional Information

If you wish to view additional information about the Fund, including, but not limited to, its prospectus, quarterly holdings, and financial statements and other information, please visit dws.com/etfreports. For information about the Fund's proxy voting policies and procedures and how the Fund voted proxies related to its portfolio securities, please visit dws.com/en-us/resources/proxy-voting. This additional information is also available free of charge by contacting us at (844) 851-4255.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status. 

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Incorporation of ESG criteria in the Fund's investment strategy does not guarantee a return or protect against a loss, limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. The Underlying Index's methodology for identifying companies attempting to reduce their carbon footprint limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the fund and, as a result, the fund may underperform other funds that do not follow a carbon reduction strategy. Stocks may decline in value.  Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in US companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. This Fund is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. Performance of a fund may diverge from that of an underlying index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in any Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund. Please read the applicable prospectus for more information.

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. We advise you to consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund, which can be requested by calling (844) 851‑4255, or visit dws.com/etfreports to view or download a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Performance shown is historical. The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor or guarantee of the Fund's future performance. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The performance graph and returns table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. To obtain the most recent month-end performance data visit etf.dws.com/en-us/etf-products or call (844) 851-4255.

Material Fund Changes

This is a summary of certain changes of the Fund since September 1, 2024. For more information, review the Fund's current prospectus at dws.com/etfreports, or by calling (844) 851-4255.

 

Effective February 3, 2025, the Fund changed its name from Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF to Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF due to a change in the name of the Fund's Underlying Index from MSCI USA ESG Leaders Index to MSCI USA Selection Index. The change in the Underlying Index’s name did not involve any changes to its methodology or any changes in the Fund’s investment policies. 

Additional Information

If you wish to view additional information about the Fund, including, but not limited to, its prospectus, quarterly holdings, and financial statements and other information, please visit dws.com/etfreports. For information about the Fund's proxy voting policies and procedures and how the Fund voted proxies related to its portfolio securities, please visit dws.com/en-us/resources/proxy-voting. This additional information is also available free of charge by contacting us at (844) 851-4255.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status. 

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Incorporation of ESG criteria in the Fund’s investment strategy does not guarantee a return or protect against a loss, limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. Stocks may decline in value. Performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in this Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. We advise you to consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund, which can be requested by calling (844) 851‑4255, or visit dws.com/etfreports to view or download a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Additional Information

If you wish to view additional information about the Fund, including, but not limited to, its prospectus, quarterly holdings, and financial statements and other information, please visit dws.com/etfreports. For information about the Fund's proxy voting policies and procedures and how the Fund voted proxies related to its portfolio securities, please visit dws.com/en-us/resources/proxy-voting.

Householding 

Householding is an option available to certain fund investors. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status. 

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Incorporation of ESG criteria in the Fund’s investment strategy does not guarantee a return or protect against a loss, limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. Regulatory changes or interpretations regarding the definitions and/or use of ESG criteria could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to invest in accordance with its investment policies and/or achieve its investment objective, as well as the ability of certain classes of investors to invest in funds following an ESG strategy such as the Fund. The Underlying Index’s methodology for identifying companies attempting to reduce their carbon footprint limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not follow a carbon reduction strategy. This Fund is non-diversified and can take larger portions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. An investment in this Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.

 

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. We advise you to consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund, which can be requested by calling (844) 851‑4255, or visit dws.com/etfreports to view or download a prospectus.

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund seeks total return from both capital appreciation and current income. The fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specific index. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes (calculated at the time of any investment), in securities of companies in the natural resources sector.

The Fund returned 3.23% for the period ended August 31, 2025. The Fund's broad-based index, the MSCI World Index, returned 15.68% for the same period, while the Fund's additional, more narrowly based index, S&P Global Natural Resources Net TR index returned 6.64%.

Metals & Mining and Chemicals were the only positive contributors to performance. Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels, Paper & Forest Products and Containers & Packaging sectors contributed negatively to performance. From a geographical perspective, the majority of countries contributed positively to performance during the period with the greatest contribution coming from South Africa, Canada and the United States while South Korea, Finland and France contributed negatively to performance.

Fund Performance

MSCI World Index captures large and mid-cap representation across Developed Markets countries. The index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country.

The MSCI World Index is a required broad-based index that represents the Fund’s overall equity market. 

S&P Global Natural Resources Net TR Index includes 90 of the largest publicly-traded companies in natural resources and commodities businesses that meet specific investability requirements, offering investors diversified and investable equity exposure across 3 primary commodity-related sectors: agribusiness, energy, and metals & mining.

The S&P Global Natural Resources Net TR Index is a more narrowly-based index that reflects the market sector in which he Fund invests.

Index returns do not reflect any fees or expenses and it is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Average Annual Total Returns

 

Performance shown is historical. The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor or guarantee of the Fund's future performance. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The performance graph and returns table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. To obtain the most recent month-end performance data visit etf.dws.com/en-us/etf-products or call (844) 851-4255.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. There are special risks associated with natural resources investments, this means that the Fund is more vulnerable to the price movements that particularly affect one or more of the various industries and sub-industries within the natural resources sector. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. This Fund is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. An investment in this Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization

DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

As of August 31, 2025, the Trust consists of forty one investment series of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:

Xtrackers High Beta High Yield Bond ETF

Xtrackers Low Beta High Yield Bond ETF

Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF

Xtrackers Short Duration High Yield Bond ETF

Xtrackers USD High Yield BB-B ex Financials ETF

Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS Group”), serves as investment advisor to the Funds and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”).

Xtrackers High Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Low Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF, Xtrackers Short Duration High Yield Bond ETF and Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Xtrackers USD High Yield BB-B ex Financials ETF offers shares that are listed and traded on the Cboe Bats BZX Exchange. Inc. (“Cboe”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares, except for Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF which lots consist of 25,000 shares and Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF which lots consist of 100,000 shares, each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds, and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Funds, or tender such shares for redemption to the Funds, in Creation Units only.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the “Underlying Index”). The underlying indices for the Funds are:

Xtrackers High Beta High Yield Bond ETF

   Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market High Beta Index

   Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Low Beta Index

   Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Index

The Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market High Beta Index is designed to track the performance of the segment of the US dollar-denominated high yield corporate bond market that exhibits higher overall beta to the broader high yield corporate fixed income market. The Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Low Beta Index is designed to track the performance of the segment of the US dollar-denominated high yield corporate bond market that exhibits lower overall beta to the broader high yield corporate fixed income market. The Adaptive Wealth Strategies Risk Managed High Yield Index is designed to track the performance of the US dollar-denominated high yield corporate bond market during normal market conditions, and the performance of a USD cash position accruing interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate (the interest rate depository institutions such as banks charge each other for overnight loans to meet their reserve requirements) during periods of adverse market conditions. The Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market 0-5 Year Index is designed to track the performance of short-term publicly issued US dollar-denominated below investment grade corporate debt. The ICE BofA BB-B Non-FNCL Non-Distressed US HY Constrained Index is a subset of the ICE BofA US High Yield Index which is designed to track the performance of US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the US domestic market. The Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Index is designed to track the performance of a basket of U.S. dollar-denominated high yield liquid corporate bonds. Under normal circumstances, the Solactive Indexes are reconstituted monthly on the last day of each month. The Funds reconstitute and rebalance their portfolios in accordance with their respective underlying indexes, and therefore any changes to the underlying indexes reconstitution and rebalance schedules will result in corresponding changes to a Fund’s reconstitution and rebalance schedule.

Each Fund is entitled to use its respective Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no direct charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.

Xtrackers High Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Low Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF, Xtrackers Short Duration High Yield Bond ETF and Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF are diversified series of the Trust, Xtrackers USD High Yield BB-B ex Financials ETF is non-diversified and is not limited by the 1940 Act with regard to the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. This means the securities of a particular issuer (or securities of issuers in particular industries) may dominate the Underlying Index of the Fund and, consequently, the Fund’s investment portfolio. This may adversely affect the Fund’s performance or subject the Fund’s shares to greater price volatility than that experienced by more diversified investment companies.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

In this reporting period, each Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The President and Chief Executive Officer acts as each Fund’s CODM. Each Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole, and each Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy that is executed by each Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of each Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net asset (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus each Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for each Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within each Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “total assets” and results of operations and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

Security Valuation The NAV of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

The Funds’ Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor’s Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

 

DBX ETF Trust | 103


Corporate and sovereign debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services approved by the Pricing Committee. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, obtained from broker-dealers. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2.

ETFs are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade. ETFs for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation. ETFs are generally categorized as Level 1.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are categorized as Level 1.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Funds’ valuation procedures, factors considered in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities); an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements; an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold; length of time of a halt in trading of the security; movement in the security’s proxy index; and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income. Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the identified cost-method. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes. Distributions of income and capital gains from investments in affiliated funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of each Fund to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors monthly. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Funds reserve the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the year within the components of net assets based on their federal tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

The Funds file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, the State of New York, and various other states. Specific to U.S. federal and state taxes, generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended August 31, 2025 (or since the Fund’s inception if the Fund commenced operations less than four years prior to August 31, 2025), remains subject to examination

 

104 | DBX ETF Trust


by taxing authorities. Specific to foreign countries in which the applicable Funds invest, all open tax years remain subject to examination by taxing authorities in the respective jurisdictions. The open tax years vary by each jurisdiction in which each Fund invests.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Capital losses incurred after October 31 (“post-October capital losses”) and late year ordinary losses incurred after December 31 within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of each Fund’s next taxable year. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds had no post-October capital losses.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, the effect of permanent “book/tax” reclassifications to the components of net assets are included below. These differences are primarily due to redemptions-in-kind and non-deductible excise tax expense.

Foreign Taxes. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, capital gains on investments, certain foreign currency transactions or other corporate events. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in their Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, and foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories. Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of August 31, 2025, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the acquisition and disposition of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included with net realized and unrealized gain/appreciation and loss/depreciation on investments.

Securities Lending. National Financial Services LLC (Fidelity Agency Lending) serves as securities lending agent for Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF and Xtrackers USD High Yield BB-B ex Financials ETF and lends securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreements. Deutsche Bank AG serves as securities lending agent for Xtrackers High Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Low Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Short Duration High Yield Bond ETF and Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and lends securities of the Funds to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans, the Funds continue to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of cash or liquid, unencumbered assets having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below

 

106 | DBX ETF Trust


specified amounts, the securities lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds invested the cash collateral, if any, into a joint trading account in affiliated money market funds, including DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/ administration fee (0.13% annualized effective rate as of August 31, 2025) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a securities lending agent. Either the Funds or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Funds are not able to recover securities lent, the Funds may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Funds are also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

As of August 31, 2025, the Fund listed below had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at period end.

5. Fund Share Transactions

As of August 31, 2025, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities included in the respective Fund’s Underlying Index and an amount of cash, which under certain circumstances may include cash in lieu of portfolio securities. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

6. Investing in High-Yield Debt Securities

High-yield debt securities or junk bonds are generally regarded as speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. A Fund’s performance could be hurt if an issuer of a debt security suffers an adverse change in financial condition that results in the issuer not making timely payments of interest or principal, a security downgrade or an inability to meet a financial obligation. High-yield debt securities’ total return and yield may generally be expected to fluctuate more than the total return and yield of investment-grade debt securities. A real or perceived economic downturn or an increase in market interest rates could cause a decline in the value of high-yield debt securities, result in increased redemptions and/or result in increased portfolio turnover, which could result in a decline in NAV of a Fund, reduce liquidity for certain investments and/or increase costs. High-yield debt securities are often thinly traded and can be more difficult to sell and value accurately than investment-grade debt securities as there may be no established secondary market. Investments in high-yield debt securities could increase liquidity risk for a Fund. In addition, the market for high-yield debt securities can experience sudden and sharp volatility which is generally associated more with investments in stocks.

7. Line of Credit

The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $105 million. Each Fund may borrow money under this credit facility to the extent necessary for temporary or emergency purposes, including the funding of shareholder redemption requests, trade settlements, and as necessary to distribute to shareholders any income necessary to maintain each Funds’ status as a regulated investment company. Borrowings are charged an interest rate of 1.25% per annum plus the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus .10%. Each Fund may borrow up to the lesser of 33 percent of its net assets as permitted by the 1940 Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Fund had no outstanding loans at August 31, 2025.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s

internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited)

 

Xtrackers High Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Low Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF, Xtrackers Short Duration High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers USD High Yield BB-B ex Financials ETF and Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with DBX Advisors LLC

After discussions at the meeting of the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) held on May 13-14, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees (those not affiliated with DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) or its service providers), unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to Xtrackers High Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Low Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Risk Managed USD High Yield Strategy ETF, Xtrackers Short Duration High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers USD High Yield BB-B ex Financials ETF and Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) for another annual period ending on May 31, 2026. The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and Meeting by K&L Gates LLP (“Independent Trustee Counsel”).

Before reaching their decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Independent Trustees evaluated the materials furnished to them in advance of the Meeting from DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”) for purposes of reviewing the Investment Advisory Agreement’s terms, including statistical information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (“Broadridge”) regarding (a) fee and expense information for each Fund (including the fee and expense components and any amounts waived or reimbursed) as compared to a peer group of other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) selected pursuant to Broadridge’s proprietary methodology (each, a “Peer Group”) and (b) for Funds with two years of performance history as of December 31, 2024, each Fund’s tracking error as compared to its underlying index over the previous five years (or since inception, if shorter). The Independent Trustees met with representatives of the Advisor on May 13, 2025 to review financial reports and other information provided by the Advisor and inquire further with regard to the financial information provided, and asked questions of the Advisor during this meeting. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the discussions they had with management before and during the Meeting and among themselves during their Executive Sessions held during the Meeting.

The Independent Trustees also noted that they had received and should take into consideration a substantial amount of information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, which information included, among other things, an analysis of each Fund’s investment performance, tracking error and related financial information, presentations given by DBX, as well as its periodic reports on brokerage commissions, portfolio execution and other services provided to the Funds.

In reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders; (2) the financial resources of DBX and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services provided by and the profits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds; (5) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized, and if the Funds’ shareholders have benefitted from those economies; and (6) fall out benefits, if any, enjoyed by the Advisor.

The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (“Trust Counsel”) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders as well as consistent with the Board’s duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.

The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services provided and the risks incurred by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from and the discussions it had with the Advisor continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Advisor had provided in response to the Board’s requests prior to the Meeting. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Funds, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Advisor, including portfolio management.

 

DBX ETF Trust | 113


Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The Board considered that the Advisor provides, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Funds and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trust’s service providers. The Board also considered that the Advisor pays or arranges for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Advisor or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Advisor arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Funds’ operations. The Board also considered that in addition to managing the Funds’ portfolios directly, the Advisor provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds.

The Board considered the information regarding each Fund’s tracking error compared to its underlying index that had been provided by the Advisor and by Broadridge, as applicable. The Board took note of the detailed information provided by the Advisor throughout the year with respect to each Fund’s tracking error and the sources thereof. The Trustees noted that tracking error for each Fund during the year was in an expected range.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to the Advisor, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of the unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds’ service providers. The Board considered the staffing of the Advisor, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Funds. The Board also considered the expertise of the Advisor in supervising third party service providers to the Funds, such as the administrator and the custodian, noting the Advisor’s extensive work with these service providers (including due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision. The Board further considered the compliance program of the Advisor, which supports the Funds’ compliance program.

Advisor’s Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Advisor to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Advisor’s financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Advisor has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared each Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses to those of the other ETFs in its Peer Group. The Board noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there were limitations faced by Broadridge in providing comparable funds in the Peer Groups and the information in the Broadridge reports accordingly may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board noted that the advisory fees and total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements, as applicable) for the Funds were below or equal to the average and/or median of the ETFs in each Fund’s respective Peer Group. The Board accordingly noted that each Fund’s fee is competitive with the fees of applicable peer ETFs.

The Board considered that the fee for each of the Funds is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Advisor pays all of the Funds’ operating expenses (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board considered that each Fund’s fee had been priced to scale when it was established. The Board also considered that each Fund’s portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Advisor and that the Advisor also provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for each Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the expenses of the Advisor in developing and rendering services provided to the Funds and the information provided by the Advisor to the Board regarding the Funds’ profitability. The Board considered that the Advisor had provided extensive information about the Advisor’s profitability and the Advisor’s methodology in determining profitability. While the Advisor had provided information about the Advisor’s expenses relating to marketing the Funds, the Board considered the Advisor’s profitability without accounting for such expenses. The Board determined that, although only some of the Funds were profitable as of this time, the Advisor’s profitability with respect to each profitable Fund was not excessive. The Board considered whether the Advisor would benefit in other ways from its relationships with the Funds and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Advisor related to the operation of the Funds.

 

114 | DBX ETF Trust


Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Economies of Scale. The Board considered that Xtrackers Low Beta High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers Short Duration High Yield Bond ETF, Xtrackers USD High Yield BB-B ex Financials ETF and Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF had attracted a substantial amount of assets, but determined that those Funds were not experiencing economies of scale beyond what was reflected in each Fund’s unitary fee, which the Board noted was competitive. The Board considered that Xtrackers High Beta High Yield Bond ETF was not experiencing economies of scale at this time and determined to revisit this matter after the Fund had attracted more assets. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisors can share benefits of economies of scale.

Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization

DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

As of August 31, 2025, the Trust consists of forty one investment series of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:

Xtrackers S&P 500 Diversified Sector Weight ETF

Xtrackers S&P 500 Growth Scored & Screened ETF

Xtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF

Xtrackers S&P 500 Value Scored & Screened ETF

Xtrackers S&P Dividend Aristocrats Screened ETF

Xtrackers S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened ETF

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS Group”), serves as investment advisor to the Funds and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”).

Xtrackers S&P 500 Diversified Sector Weight ETF offer shares that are listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). Xtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened ETF offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Xtrackers S&P 500 Growth Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P 500 Value Scored & Screened ETF and Xtrackers S&P Dividend Aristocrats Screened ETF offers shares that are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large specified lots consisting of 10,000 shares except for Xtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF which lots consist of 50,000 shares, each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds, and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Funds, or tender such shares for redemption to the Funds, in Creation Units only.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the “Underlying Index”). The underlying indices for the Funds are:

 

Fund    Underlying Index
Xtrackers S&P 500 Diversified Sector Weight ETF    S&P 500 Diversified Sector Weight Index
Xtrackers S&P 500 Growth Scored & Screened ETF (formerly Xtrackers S&P 500 Growth ESG ETF)*    S&P 500 Growth Scored & Screened Index (formerly S&P 500 Growth ESG Index)*
Xtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF (formerly Xtrackers S&P 500 ESG ETF)*    S&P 500 Scored & Screened Index (formerly S&P 500 ESG Index)*
Xtrackers S&P 500 Value Scored & Screened ETF (formerly Xtrackers S&P 500 Value ESG ETF)*    S&P 500 Value Scored & Screened Index (formerly S&P 500 Value ESG Index)*
Xtrackers S&P Dividend Aristocrats Screened ETF (formerly Xtrackers S&P ESG Dividend Aristocrats ETF)*    S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Screened Index (formerly S&P ESG High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index)*
Xtrackers S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened ETF (formerly Xtrackers S&P MidCap 400 ESG ETF)*    S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened Index (formerly S&P MidCap 400 ESG Index)*

* Effective February 10, 2025, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the Index Provider) changed the name of the Fund’s Underlying Index. At such time, the Fund also changed its name. There was no change to the index methodology of the Fund’s Underlying Index and no changes in the investment policies of the Fund. The Fund will continue to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of its Underlying Index. The Fund’s Ticker symbol remains the same.

S&P 500 Diversified Sector Weight Index is a market capitalization weighted index designed to measure the performance of the constituent securities of the S&P 500 Index reweighted to mitigate concentration risk and address sector imbalances. The S&P 500 Diversified Sector Weight Index’s reweighting approach is intended to provide a return more representative of all the business opportunities inherent to the S&P 500, rather than a return tied principally to the business opportunities represented by the S&P 500’s largest constituent companies. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index rebalanced

quarterly in March, June, September, and December. The Fund rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule.

S&P 500 Growth Scored & Screened Index is a market capitalization weighted index that provides exposure to companies with high environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance relative to their sector peers, while maintaining similar overall industry group weights as the S&P 500 Growth Index. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index is rebalanced annually, effective after the close of the last business day of April. In addition, the Underlying Index reweights quarterly after the close of business on the last working day of July, October and January. The Fund rebalances/reweights its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance/ reweighting schedule will result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance/reweighting schedule.

S&P 500 Scored & Screened Index is a market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the performance of companies meeting environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, while maintaining similar overall industry group weights as the S&P 500 Index. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index is rebalanced annually, effective after the close of the last business day of April. The Fund rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule.

S&P 500 Value Scored & Screened Index is a market capitalization weighted index that provides exposure to companies with high environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance relative to their sector peers, while maintaining similar overall industry group weights as the S&P 500 Value Index. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index is rebalanced annually, effective after the close of the last business day of April. In addition, the Underlying Index reweights quarterly after the close of business on the last working day of July, October and January. The Fund rebalances/reweights its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance/reweighting schedule will result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance/reweighting schedule.

S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Screened Index is designed to measure the performance of constituents from the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index that meet certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria. The S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index measures the performance of companies within the S&P Composite 1500 Index that have followed a policy of consistently increasing dividends every year for at least 20 years. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index is rebalanced annually, effective after the close of the last business day of January. Constituent weights are updated quarterly after the close of the last business day in April, July and October. The Fund rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule.

S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened Index is a market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the performance of companies meeting environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, while maintaining similar overall industry group weights as the S&P MidCap 400 Index. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index is rebalanced annually, effective after the close of the last business day of April. The Fund rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule.

Each Fund is entitled to use its respective Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between its respective index provider and DBX. There is no direct charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.

Xtrackers S&P 500 Diversified Sector Weight ETF and Xtrackers S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened ETF are diversified series of the Trust. Xtrackers S&P 500 Growth Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P 500 Value Scored & Screened ETF and Xtrackers S&P Dividend Aristocrats Screened ETF are non-diversified and are not limited by the 1940 Act with regard to the percentage of their assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. This means the securities of a particular issuer (or securities of issuers in particular industries) may dominate the Underlying Index of the Fund and, consequently, the Fund’s investment portfolio. This may adversely affect the Fund’s performance or subject the Fund’s shares to greater price volatility than that experienced by more diversified investment companies. Each Fund may change its diversification status over time and then change it back again, without shareholder approval, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index each Fund tracks.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

In this reporting period, each Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The President and Chief Executive Officer acts as each Fund’s CODM. Each Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole, and each Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy that is executed by each Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of each Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net asset (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus each Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for each Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within each Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “total assets” and results of operations and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

Security Valuation The NAV of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

The Funds’ Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor’s Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

Equity securities and ETFs are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade. Securities or ETFs for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation. Equity securities and ETFs are generally categorized as Level 1.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are categorized as Level 1.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance

 

DBX ETF Trust | 45


with the Funds’ valuation procedures, factors considered in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities); an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements; an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold; and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income. Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the identified cost-method. Dividend income is net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of each Fund to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors quarterly. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Funds reserve the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the year within the components of net assets based on their federal tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital. The Funds file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, the State of New York, and various other states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended August 31, 2025 (or since the Fund’s inception if the Fund commenced operations less than four years prior to August 31, 2025), remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. As of August 31, 2025, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

At August 31, 2025, for Federal income tax purposes, the Funds have capital loss carryforwards available as shown in the table below, to the extent provided by regulations, to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. To the extent that these loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the capital gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds had no post-October capital losses.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, the effect of permanent “book/tax” reclassifications to the components of net assets are included below. These differences are primarily due to redemptions-in-kind.

Securities Lending. National Financial Services LLC (Fidelity Agency Lending) serves as securities lending agent for Xtrackers S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened ETF and lends securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreements. Deutsche Bank AG serves as securities lending agent for S&P 500 Growth Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers Xtrackers S&P 500 Value Scored & Screened ETF and Xtrackers S&P Dividend Aristocrats Screened ETF and lends securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreements. During the term of the loans, the Funds continue to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of cash or liquid, unencumbered assets having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the securities lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds invested the cash collateral, if any, into a joint trading account in affiliated money market funds, including DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.13% annualized effective rate as of August 31, 2025) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a securities lending agent. Either the Funds or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Funds are not able to recover securities lent, the Funds may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Funds are also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

As of August 31, 2025, the Funds listed below had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at period end.

Derivatives

Futures Contracts. Each Fund may enter into futures contracts. These futures contracts will be used to simulate investment in the respective Underlying Index, to facilitate trading or to reduce transaction costs. Each Fund will enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. No Fund will use futures for speculative purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific instrument or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. For the year ended August 31, 2025, Xtrackers

S&P 500 Diversified Sector Weight ETF, Xtrackers S&P 500 Growth Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P Dividend Aristocrats Screened ETF and Xtrackers S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened ETF utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Funds’ Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.

At the time each Fund enters into a futures contract, each Fund deposits and maintains as collateral an initial margin with the broker, as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, each Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for exchange-traded futures contracts is generally less than privately negotiated futures contracts, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded future, provides a guarantee of performance. The guarantee is supported by a daily payment system (i.e., margin requirements).

Use of long futures contracts subjects each Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects each Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

A summary of the open futures contracts as of August 31, 2025 is included in a table following the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

The following tables summarize the value of the Funds’ derivative instruments held as of August 31, 2025 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

5. Fund Share Transactions

As of August 31, 2025, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities included in the respective Fund’s Underlying Index and an amount of cash, which under certain circumstances may include cash in lieu of portfolio securities. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s

internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited)

Xtrackers S&P 500 Growth Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P 500 Value Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P Dividend Aristocrats Screened ETF and Xtrackers S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened ETF

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with DBX Advisors LLC

After discussions at the meeting of the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) held on May 13-14, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees (those not affiliated with DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) or its service providers), unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to Xtrackers S&P 500 Growth Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P 500 Value Scored & Screened ETF, Xtrackers S&P Dividend Aristocrats Screened ETF and Xtrackers S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened ETF (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) for another annual period ending on May 31, 2026. The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and Meeting by K&L Gates LLP (“Independent Trustee Counsel”).

Before reaching their decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Independent Trustees evaluated the materials furnished to them in advance of the Meeting from DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”) for purposes of reviewing the Investment Advisory Agreement’s terms, including statistical information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (“Broadridge”) regarding (a) fee and expense information for each Fund (including the fee and expense components and any amounts waived or reimbursed) as compared to a peer group of other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) selected pursuant to Broadridge’s proprietary methodology (each, a “Peer Group”) and (b) for Funds with two years of performance history as of December 31, 2024, each Fund’s tracking error as compared to its underlying index over the previous five years (or since inception, if shorter). The Independent Trustees met with representatives of the Advisor on May 13, 2025 to review financial reports and other information provided by the Advisor and inquire further with regard to the financial information provided, and asked questions of the Advisor during this meeting. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the discussions they had with management before and during the Meeting and among themselves during their Executive Sessions held during the Meeting.

The Independent Trustees also noted that they had received and should take into consideration a substantial amount of information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, which information included, among other things, an analysis of each Fund’s investment performance, tracking error and related financial information, presentations given by DBX, as well as its periodic reports on brokerage commissions, portfolio execution and other services provided to the Funds.

In reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders; (2) the financial resources of DBX and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services provided by and the profits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds; (5) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized, and if the Funds’ shareholders have benefitted from those economies; and (6) fall out benefits, if any, enjoyed by the Advisor.

The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (“Trust Counsel”) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders as well as consistent with the Board’s duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.

The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services provided and the risks incurred by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from and the discussions it had with the Advisor continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Advisor had provided in response to the Board’s requests prior to the Meeting. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Funds, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Advisor, including portfolio management.

 

DBX ETF Trust | 55


Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited)

(Continued)

The Board considered that the Advisor provides, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Funds and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trust’s service providers. The Board also considered that the Advisor pays or arranges for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Advisor or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Advisor arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Funds’ operations. The Board also considered that in addition to managing the Funds’ portfolios directly, the Advisor provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds.

The Board considered the information regarding each Fund’s tracking error compared to its underlying index that had been provided by the Advisor and by Broadridge, as applicable. The Board took note of the detailed information provided by the Advisor throughout the year with respect to each Fund’s tracking error and the sources thereof. The Trustees noted that tracking error for each Fund during the year was in an expected range.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to the Advisor, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of the unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds’ service providers. The Board considered the staffing of the Advisor, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Funds. The Board also considered the expertise of the Advisor in supervising third party service providers to the Funds, such as the administrator and the custodian, noting the Advisor’s extensive work with these service providers (including due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision. The Board further considered the compliance program of the Advisor, which supports the Funds’ compliance program.

Advisor’s Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Advisor to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Advisor’s financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Advisor has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared each Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses to those of the other ETFs in its Peer Group. The Board noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there were limitations faced by Broadridge in providing comparable funds in the Peer Groups and the information in the Broadridge reports accordingly may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board noted that the advisory fees and total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements, as applicable) for the Funds were below or equal to the average and/or median of the ETFs in each Fund’s respective Peer Group. The Board accordingly noted that each Fund’s fee is competitive with the fees of applicable peer ETFs.

The Board considered that the fee for each of the Funds is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Advisor pays all of the Funds’ operating expenses (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board considered that each Fund’s fee had been priced to scale when it was established. The Board also considered that each Fund’s portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Advisor and that the Advisor also provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for each Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the expenses of the Advisor in developing and rendering services provided to the Funds and the information provided by the Advisor to the Board regarding the Funds’ profitability. The Board considered that the Advisor had provided extensive information about the Advisor’s profitability and the Advisor’s methodology in determining profitability. While the Advisor had provided information about the Advisor’s expenses relating to marketing the Funds, the Board considered the Advisor’s profitability without accounting for such expenses. The Board determined that, although only some of the Funds were profitable as of this time, the Advisor’s profitability with respect to each profitable Fund was not excessive. The Board considered whether the Advisor would benefit in other ways from its relationships with the Funds and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Advisor related to the operation of the Funds.

(Continued)

Economies of Scale. The Board considered that Xtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF had attracted a substantial amount of assets, but determined that the Fund was not experiencing economies of scale beyond what was reflected in the Fund’s unitary fee, which the Board noted was competitive. The Board considered that the other Funds were not experiencing economies of scale at this time and determined to revisit this matter after the Funds had attracted more assets. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisors can share benefits of economies of scale.

Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

Xtrackers S&P 500 Diversified Sector Weight ETF

After discussions at the meeting of the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) held on May 14, 2025, the Trustees, all of whom are not “interested persons,” as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) or its service providers), unanimously approved the Investment Advisory Agreement between DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Adviser”) and the Trust, with respect to Xtrackers S&P 500 Diversified Sector Weight ETF (the “Fund”). The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and meeting by K&L Gates LLP (“Independent Trustee Counsel”).

In reaching this decision, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders; (2) the financial resources of the Adviser and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the Fund’s advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services to be provided by and the anticipated profits to be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund; (5) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized, and if the Fund’s shareholders would benefit from those economies; and (6) fall-out benefits, if any, that may be enjoyed by the Adviser.

The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (“Trust Counsel”) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders as well as consistent with the Board’s duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.

The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Fund, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services, such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Adviser, including portfolio management.

The Board considered that the Adviser will provide, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Fund and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trust’s service providers. The Board also considered that the Adviser will pay or arrange for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Adviser or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Adviser arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Fund’s operations. The Board also considered that in addition to managing the Fund’s portfolio directly, the Adviser will provide oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Fund.

The Board considered the staffing of the Adviser, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Fund. The Board also considered the

(Continued)

expertise of the Adviser in supervising third party service providers to its currently managed funds, such as the administrator and the custodian (which would also provide those services to the Fund), noting the Adviser’s extensive work with these service providers (including due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision (which would cover the Fund as well). The Board further considered the compliance program of the Adviser, which supports the compliance program of the Adviser’s currently managed funds (which would also cover the Fund).

Advisor’s Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Adviser to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Adviser’s financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared the Fund’s advisory fee to those of other pertinent exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and noted that the Fund’s fee is below the average and median fee of the ETFs in the Fund’s peer group. The Board accordingly noted that the Fund’s fee is competitive with the fees of its peer group. The Board agreed that it was familiar with the Adviser’s methodology for selecting the Fund’s peer group and believed that the Fund’s peer group was appropriate. The Board considered that the proposed fee for the Fund is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Adviser pays all of the Fund’s operating expenses (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board also considered that the Fund’s portfolio will be managed on a day-to-day basis by the Adviser and that the Adviser will also provide oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Fund. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for the Fund is reasonable in light of the services to be provided.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the anticipated expenses of the Adviser in developing and rendering services to be provided to the Fund and the likelihood and level of profits in the early years of the Fund’s operations. The Board noted that because the Fund is new, it is difficult to estimate the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser at this time. The Board considered whether the Adviser would benefit in other ways from its relationship with the Fund and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Adviser related to the operation of the Fund. The Board also considered the greater entrepreneurial risk in offering new fund products, which require substantial investment to launch, may not succeed, and generally must be priced to compete with larger, more established funds resulting in lack of profitability to the Adviser until a new fund achieves scale.

Economies of Scale. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee was set at a competitive level that was designed to reflect scale in assets from the Fund’s commencement of operations. The Board noted that because the Fund is new, it is difficult to estimate whether the Fund would experience economies of scale beyond those already reflected in the Fund’s advisory fee. The Board determined to evaluate economies of scale on an ongoing basis as a result of asset growth of the Fund. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisers can share benefits of economies of scale.

Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization

DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

As of August 31, 2025, the Trust consists of forty one investment series of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:

Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF

Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF

Xtrackers Russell 1000 US Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF

Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS Group”), serves as investment advisor to the Funds and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”).

Each Fund offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares, except for Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF, which lots consist of 10,000 shares, and, Xtrackers Russell 1000 US Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF, which lots consist of 25,000 shares, each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds, and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Funds, or tender such shares for redemption to the Funds, in Creation Units only.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the “Underlying Index”). The underlying indices for the Funds are:

 

Fund    Underlying Index

Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF

   FTSE Developed ex US Comprehensive Factor Index

Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF

   MSCI Kokusai Index

Xtrackers Russell 1000 US Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF

   Russell 1000 2Qual/Val 5% Capped Factor Index

Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF

   Russell 1000 Comprehensive Factor Index

The FTSE Developed ex US Comprehensive Factor is designed to track the equity market performance of companies in developed countries (except the United States) selected on the investment style criteria (“factors”) of value, momentum, quality, low volatility and size. The companies eligible for the Underlying Index are derived from its starting universe, the FTSE Developed ex US Index, which is comprised of large- and mid-capitalization equity securities from developed markets (except the United States). The Underlying Index is rebalanced semi-annually in March and September after the close of business on the third Friday of the review month.

The MSCI Kokusai Index, also known as the MSCI World ex Japan Index, is designed to track the performance of equity markets in developed markets (excluding Japan). The Underlying Index is reviewed quarterly in February, May, August and November and rebalanced semi-annually in May and November. At each semi-annual rebalancing, the composition of the Underlying Index is reassessed and the large and mid-capitalization cutoff points are recalculated.

The Russell 1000 2Qual/Val 5% Capped Factor Index is designed to track the equity market performance of companies in the United States selected on the investment style criteria (“factors”) of quality and value. The companies eligible for the Underlying Index are derived from its starting universe, the Russell 1000 Index, which is comprised of large-cap equity securities from issuers in the United States. The Underlying Index is rebalanced annually in June after the close of business on the third Friday of the review month. Upon a rebalancing, no issuer in the Underlying Index may represent more than 5% of the Underlying Index. In the event an issuer represents more than 5% of the Underlying Index at a rebalancing, such amount in excess of 5% shall be reallocated pro-rata to the other issuers in the Underlying Index.

The Russell 1000 Comprehensive Factor Index is designed to track the equity market performance of companies in the United States selected on the investment style criteria (“factors”) of quality, value, momentum, low volatility and size. The companies eligible for the Underlying Index are derived from its starting universe, the Russell 1000 Index, which is comprised of large-cap equity securities from issuers in the United States. The Underlying Index is rebalanced semi-annually in June and December after the close of business on the third Friday of the review month.

 

58 | DBX ETF Trust


Each Fund is entitled to use its respective Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no direct charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.

Each Fund is diversified. Each Fund may change its diversification status over time and then change it back again, without shareholder approval, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index each Fund tracks.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

In this reporting period, each Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The President and Chief Executive Officer acts as each Fund’s CODM. Each Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole, and each Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy that is executed by each Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of each Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net asset (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus each Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for each Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within each Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “total assets” and results of operations and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

Security Valuation The NAV of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

The Funds’ Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor’s Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

Equity securities and ETFs are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade. Securities or ETFs for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation. Equity securities and ETFs are generally categorized as Level 1.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are categorized as Level 1.

 

DBX ETF Trust | 59


Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Funds’ valuation procedures, factors considered in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities); an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements; an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold; and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income. Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the identified cost-method. Dividend income is net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions received from foreign domiciled corporations, generally determined to be passive foreign investment companies for tax reporting purposes, are included in dividend income.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of each Fund to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors quarterly. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Funds reserve the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the year within the components of net assets based on their federal tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

The Funds file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, the State of New York, and various other states. Specific to U.S. federal and state taxes, generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended August 31, 2025, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities. Specific to foreign countries in which the applicable Funds invest, all open tax years remain subject to examination by taxing authorities in the respective jurisdictions. The open tax years vary by each jurisdiction in which each Fund invests.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Foreign Taxes. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which 712055660.00 may be reclaimable) 261163029.00 on income, 304423321.00 capital gains (43260292.00) on investments, certain foreign currency transactions or other corporate events. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in their Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories, and deferred foreign taxes on unrealized gains are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of August 31, 2025, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the acquisition and disposition of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included with net realized and unrealized gain/appreciation and loss/depreciation on investments.

Securities Lending. Deutsche Bank AG serves as securities lending agent and lends securities of the Funds to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans, the Funds continue to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of cash or liquid, unencumbered assets having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the securities lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds invested the cash collateral into a joint trading account in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, an affiliated money market fund managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.13% annualized effective rate as of August 31, 2025) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a securities lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Funds are not able to recover securities lent, the Funds may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Funds are also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

Derivatives

Futures Contracts. Each Fund may enter into futures contracts. These futures contracts will be used to simulate investment in the respective Underlying Index, to facilitate trading or to reduce transaction costs. Each Fund will enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. No Fund will use futures for speculative purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific instrument or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. For the year ended August 31, 2025, Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF, Xtrackers Russell 1000 Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF and Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.

At the time each Fund enters into a futures contract, each Fund deposits and maintains as collateral an initial margin with the broker, as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, each Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for exchange-traded futures contracts is generally less than privately negotiated futures contracts, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded future, provides a guarantee of performance. The guarantee is supported by a daily payment system (i.e., margin requirements).

Use of long futures contracts subjects each Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects each Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

A summary of the open futures contracts as of August 31, 2025 is included in a table following the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

Out of the unitary advisory fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of each Fund, including the cost of transfer 2535.00 agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, and expenses of the Independent Trustees. Each Fund is responsible for the payment of interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, brokerage expenses, distribution fees or expenses, if any, litigation expenses and extraordinary expenses.

The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as Administrator, Custodian, Accounting Agent and Transfer Agent for each Fund.

ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund on an agency basis. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Funds.

The Board of Trustees is currently comprised of three Independent Trustees. The Advisor paid retainer fees and attendance fees to each Independent Trustee; retainer fees to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chairman of the Audit Committee; and attendance fees to each member of the Audit Committee (which is comprised of all of the Funds’ Independent Trustees).

5. Fund Share Transactions

As of August 31, 2025, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities included in the respective Fund’s Underlying Index and an amount of cash, which under certain circumstances may include cash in lieu of portfolio securities. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF, Xtrackers Russell 1000 US Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF and Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF (collectively referred to as the “Funds”), (four of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”)), including the schedules of investments, as of August 31, 2025, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds (four of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust) at August 31, 2025, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited)

Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF, Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF and Xtrackers Russell 1000 US Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with DBX Advisors LLC

After discussions at the meeting of the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) held on May 13-14, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees (those not affiliated with DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) or its service providers), unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF, Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF and Xtrackers Russell 1000 US Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) for another annual period ending on May 31, 2026. The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and Meeting by K&L Gates LLP (“Independent Trustee Counsel”).

Before reaching their decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Independent Trustees evaluated the materials furnished to them in advance of the Meeting from DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”) for purposes of reviewing the Investment Advisory Agreement’s terms, including statistical information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (“Broadridge”) regarding (a) fee and expense information for each Fund (including the fee and expense components and any amounts waived or reimbursed) as compared to a peer group of other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) selected pursuant to Broadridge’s proprietary methodology (each, a “Peer Group”) and (b) for Funds with two years of performance history as of December 31, 2024, each Fund’s tracking error as compared to its underlying index over the previous five years (or since inception, if shorter). The Independent Trustees met with representatives of the Advisor on May 13, 2025 to review financial reports and other information provided by the Advisor and inquire further with regard to the financial information provided, and asked questions of the Advisor during this meeting. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the discussions they had with management before and during the Meeting and among themselves during their Executive Sessions held during the Meeting.

The Independent Trustees also noted that they had received and should take into consideration a substantial amount of information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, which information included, among other things, an analysis of each Fund’s investment performance, tracking error and related financial information, presentations given by DBX, as well as its periodic reports on brokerage commissions, portfolio execution and other services provided to the Funds. In reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders; (2) the financial resources of DBX and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services provided by and the profits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds; (5) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized, and if the Funds’ shareholders have benefitted from those economies; and (6) fall out benefits, if any, enjoyed by the Advisor.

The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (“Trust Counsel”) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders as well as consistent with the Board’s duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.

The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services provided and the risks incurred by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from and the discussions it had with the Advisor continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Advisor had provided in response to the Board’s requests prior to the Meeting. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Funds, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Advisor, including portfolio management.

Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The Board considered that the Advisor provides, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Funds and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trust’s service providers. The Board also considered that the Advisor pays or arranges for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Advisor or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Advisor arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Funds’ operations. The Board also considered that in addition to managing the Funds’ portfolios directly, the Advisor provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds.

The Board considered the information regarding each Fund’s tracking error compared to its underlying index that had been provided by the Advisor and by Broadridge, as applicable. The Board took note of the detailed information provided by the Advisor throughout the year with respect to each Fund’s tracking error and the sources thereof. The Trustees noted that tracking error for each Fund during the year was in an expected range.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to the Advisor, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of the unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds’ service providers. The Board considered the staffing of the Advisor, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Funds. The Board also considered the expertise of the Advisor in supervising third party service providers to the Funds, such as the administrator and the custodian, noting the Advisor’s extensive work with these service providers (including due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision. The Board further considered the compliance program of the Advisor, which supports the Funds’ compliance program.

Advisor’s Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Advisor to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Advisor’s financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Advisor has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared each Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses to those of the other ETFs in its Peer Group. The Board noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there were limitations faced by Broadridge in providing comparable funds in the Peer Groups and the information in the Broadridge reports accordingly may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board noted that the advisory fees and total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements, as applicable) for the Xtrackers FTSE Developed ex US Multifactor ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF were below or equal to the average and/or median of the ETFs in each Fund’s respective Peer Group, but Xtrackers Russell 1000 US Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF and Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF had advisory fees and/or total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements, as applicable) that were above the average and/or median of its respective Peer Group.

The Board considered, however, that the advisory fees and total expenses for each of Xtrackers Russell 1000 US Quality at a Reasonable Price ETF and Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF were almost equivalent to the average of its respective Peer Group.

The Board accordingly noted that each Fund’s fee is competitive with the fees of applicable peer ETFs.

The Board considered that the fee for each of the Funds is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Advisor pays all of the Funds’ operating expenses (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board considered that each Fund’s fee had been priced to scale when it was established. The Board also considered that each Fund’s portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Advisor and that the Advisor also provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for each Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the expenses of the Advisor in developing and rendering services provided to the Funds and the information provided by the Advisor to the Board regarding the Funds’ profitability. The Board considered that the Advisor had provided extensive information about the Advisor’s profitability and the Advisor’s methodology in determining profitability. While the Advisor had provided information about the Advisor’s expenses relating

 

DBX ETF Trust | 69


Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

to marketing the Funds, the Board considered the Advisor’s profitability without accounting for such expenses. The Board determined that, although only some of the Funds were profitable as of this time, the Advisor’s profitability with respect to each profitable Fund was not excessive. The Board considered whether the Advisor would benefit in other ways from its relationships with the Funds and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Advisor related to the operation of the Funds.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered that Xtrackers MSCI Kokusai Equity ETF and Xtrackers Russell US Multifactor ETF had attracted a substantial amount of assets, but determined that those Funds were not experiencing economies of scale beyond what was reflected in each Fund’s unitary fee, which the Board noted was competitive. The Board considered that the other Funds were not experiencing economies of scale at this time and determined to revisit this matter after the Funds had attracted more assets. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisors can share benefits of economies of scale.

Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

(b)

Derivatives include unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts.

During the year ended August 31, 2025, the amount of transfers from Level 3 to Level 1 was $14,743. The investment was transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 due to the availability of a pricing source supported by observable inputs. The amount of transfers from Level 1 to Level 3 was $9,602. The investments were transferred from Level 1 to Level 3 due the lack of observable market data due to a decrease in market activity. Transfers between price levels are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization

DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

As of August 31, 2025, the Trust consists of forty one investment series of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:

Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF

Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF

Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Climate Selection ETF

Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF

Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF

Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF

Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS Group”), serves as investment advisor to the Funds and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”). RREEF America L.L.C. (“RREEF”) an affiliate of the Advisor serves as the Sub-Advisor to the Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF.

Each Fund offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”), except Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF which offers shares that are listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares except for Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF and Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF which lots consists of 25,000 shares and Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF which lots consists of 10,000 shares, each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds, and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Funds, or tender such shares for redemption to the Funds, in Creation Units only.

The investment objective of each of the following Funds is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the “Underlying Index”). The underlying indices for the Funds are:

 

Fund    Underlying Index
Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF    Solactive ISS Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction & Climate Improvers Index NTR
Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF (formerly Xtrackers MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Equity ETF)*    MSCI EAFE Selection Index (formerly MSCI EAFE ESG Leaders Index)*
Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Climate Selection ETF (formerly Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF)**    MSCI Global Climate 500 Emerging Markets Selection Index (formerly MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Index)**
Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF    MSCI USA Climate Action Index
Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF (formerly Xtrackers MSCI USA ESG Leaders Equity ETF)*    MSCI USA Selection Index (formerly MSCI USA ESG Leaders Index)*
Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF    Solactive ISS ESG United States Net Zero Pathway Enhanced Index

* Effective February 3, 2025, MSCI Inc. (the Index Provider) changed the name of the Fund’s Underlying Index. At such time, the Fund also changed its name. There was no change to the index methodology of the Fund’s Underlying Index and no changes in the investment policies of the Fund. The Fund will continue to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of its Underlying Index. The Fund’s ticker symbol remains the same.

** Effective November 5, 2024, the Fund’s ticker symbol changed from EMSG to EMCS. At that time, the Fund also changed its investment objective of seeking investments results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Index, to seeking investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the MSCI Global Climate 500 Emerging Markets Selection Index.

The Solactive ISS Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction & Climate Improvers Index NTR (the “EMCR Index”) is comprised of large and mid-capitalization companies in emerging markets countries that meet certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria and/or have committed to greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. The EMCR Index is then weighted in such a manner seeking to align its constituents companies’ greenhouse gas emissions with the long-term global warming target of the Paris Climate Agreement. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index is rebalanced semi-annually in February and August, and thus the Fund updates and rebalances its portfolio in a corresponding fashion.

The MSCI EAFE Selection Index is a capitalization weighted index that provides exposure to companies with high ESG performance relative to their sector peers. The Underlying Index consists of large- and medium-capitalization companies across developed markets countries, excluding Canada and the United States. Under normal circumstances, the annual review of the Underlying Index takes place in May and it is rebalanced in August, November and February, and thus the Fund updates and rebalances its portfolio in a corresponding fashion.

The MSCI Global Climate 500 Emerging Markets Selection Index is comprised of large and mid-capitalization companies in emerging markets that meet certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria as defined by the index provider. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index is rebalanced on a semi-annual basis as of the close of business of the last business day of May and November, and thus the Fund updates and rebalances its portfolio in a corresponding fashion.

The MSCI USA Climate Action Index is comprised of large and mid-capitalization companies in the United States that the

Underlying Index’s methodology assesses as leading their sector peers in taking action relating to a climate transition. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index is rebalanced on a semi-annual basis, and reviewed and reweighted on an ongoing basis. The Fund rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule.

The MSCI USA Selection Index is a capitalization weighted index that provides exposure to companies with high ESG performance relative to their sector peers. The Underlying Index consists of large- and medium-capitalization companies in the U.S. market. Under normal circumstances, the annual review of the Underlying Index takes place in May and it is rebalanced in August, November and February, and thus the Fund updates and rebalances its portfolio in a corresponding fashion.

The Solactive ISS ESG United States Net Zero Pathway Enhanced Index is comprised of large and mid-capitalization companies in the United States that meet certain ESG criteria. The constituents of the Underlying Index are weighted in such a manner seeking to comply with the European Union Paris-aligned Benchmark standards, while incorporating recommendations of the Net Zero Investment Framework published, from time to time, by the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change. Under normal circumstances, the Underlying Index is rebalanced semi-annually in February and August. The Fund rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule.

Each Fund is entitled to use its respective Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between its respective index provider and DBX. There is no direct charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.

Xtrackers RREEF Global Resources ETF “NRES” seeks total return from both capital appreciation and current income. NRES is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specific index. Under normal circumstances, NRES invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes (calculated at the time of any investment), in securities of companies in the natural resources sector.

Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF are diversified series of the Trust. Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Climate Selection ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF, Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF and Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF are non-diversified and are not limited by the 1940 Act with regard to the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. This means the securities of a particular issuer (or securities of issuers in particular industries) may dominate the Underlying Index of the Fund and, consequently, the Fund’s investment portfolio. This may adversely affect the Fund’s performance or subject the Fund’s shares to greater price volatility than that experienced by more diversified investment companies. Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF and Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF may change its diversification status over time and then change it back again, without shareholder approval, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index each Fund tracks.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

In this reporting period, each Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The President and Chief Executive Officer acts as each Fund’s CODM. Each Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole, and each Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy that is executed by each Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of each Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net asset (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus each Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for each Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within each Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “total assets” and results of operations and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

Security Valuation The NAV of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

The Funds’ Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor’s Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

Equity securities and ETFs are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade. Securities or ETFs for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation. Equity securities and ETFs are generally categorized as Level 1.

Corporate and sovereign debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services approved by the Pricing Committee. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, obtained from broker-dealers. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are categorized as Level 1.

 

68  |  DBX ETF Trust


Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Funds’ valuation procedures, factors considered in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities); an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements; an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold; and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income. Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the identified cost-method. Dividend income is net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the fund is informed of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions received from foreign domiciled corporations, generally determined to be passive foreign investment companies for tax reporting purposes, are included in dividend income.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Climate Selection ETF to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors semi-annually. It is the policy of Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF, Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF and Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors quarterly. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Funds reserve the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the year within the components of net assets based on their federal tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

The Funds file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, the State of New York, and various other states. Specific to U.S. federal and state taxes, generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended August 31, 2025 (or since the Fund’s inception if the Fund commenced operations less than four years prior to August 31, 2025), remains subject to examination by taxing authorities. Specific to foreign countries in which the applicable Funds invest, all open tax years remain subject to examination by taxing authorities in the respective jurisdictions. The open tax years vary by each jurisdiction in which each Fund invests.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Foreign Taxes. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, capital gains on investments, certain foreign currency transactions or other corporate events. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in their Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories, and deferred foreign taxes on unrealized gains are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of August 31, 2025, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the acquisition and disposition of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included with net realized and unrealized gain/appreciation and loss/depreciation on investments.

Securities Lending. National Financial Services LLC (Fidelity Agency Lending) serves as securities lending agent for Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF, Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF, Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF and lends securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreements. Deutsche Bank AG serves as securities lending agent for Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Climate Selection ETF and Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF and lends securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreements. During the term of the loans, the Funds continue to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of cash or liquid, unencumbered assets having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the securities lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds invested the cash collateral, if any, into

a joint trading account in affiliated money market funds, including DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/ administration fee (0.13% annualized effective rate as of August 31, 2025) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a securities lending agent. Either the Funds or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Funds are not able to recover securities lent, the Funds may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Funds are also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

As of August 31, 2025, the Funds listed below had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at period end.

Derivatives

Futures Contracts. Each Fund may enter into futures contracts. For each fund, except, Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF, these futures contracts will be used to simulate investment in the respective Underlying Index, to facilitate trading or to reduce transaction costs. For Xtrackers RREEF Global Natural Resources ETF these futures will be used for liquidity purposes. Each Fund will enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. No Fund will use futures for speculative purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific instrument or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. For the year ended August 31, 2025, Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Climate Selection ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF and Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Funds’ Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.

At the time each Fund enters into a futures contract, each Fund deposits and maintains as collateral an initial margin with the broker, as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, each Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for exchange-traded futures contracts is generally less than privately negotiated futures contracts, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded future, provides a guarantee of performance. The guarantee is supported by a daily payment system (i.e., margin requirements).

 

72  |  DBX ETF Trust


Use of long futures contracts subjects each Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects each Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

A summary of the open futures contracts as of August 31, 2025 is included in a table following the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

The following tables summarize the value of the Funds’ derivative instruments held as of August 31, 2025 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

5. Fund Share Transactions

As of August 31, 2025, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities included in the respective Fund’s Underlying Index and an amount of cash, which under certain circumstances may include cash in lieu of portfolio securities. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

6. Investing in Emerging Markets

Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in developed markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation or deflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political, social and economic developments and US and foreign government actions such as the imposition of tariffs, economic and trade sanctions or embargoes. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls or delayed settlements, and may have prices that are more volatile or less easily assessed than those of comparable securities of issuers in developed markets. There is also substantially less publicly available information about emerging market issuers than there is about issuers in developed countries. Therefore, disclosure of certain material information may not be made, and less information may be available to the Funds and other investors than would be the case if the Funds’ investments were restricted to securities of issuers in developed countries. Investments in emerging markets are often considered speculative.

Investing in securities of Chinese issuers involves certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including, among others; more frequent (and potentially widespread) trading suspensions and government interventions with respect to Chinese issuers, resulting in lack of liquidity and in price volatility; currency revaluations and other currency exchange rate fluctuations or blockage; the nature and extent of intervention by the Chinese government in the Chinese securities markets (including both direct and indirect market stabilization efforts, which may affect valuations of Chinese issuers), whether such intervention will continue and the impact of such intervention or its discontinuation; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; the risk that the Chinese government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs; limitations on the use of brokers (or action by the Chinese government that discourages brokers from serving international clients); higher rates of inflation; greater political, economic and social uncertainty; higher market volatility caused by any potential regional territorial conflicts or natural disasters; the risk of increased trade tariffs, embargoes and other trade or regulatory limitations; restrictions on foreign ownership which require U.S. investors to invest in offshore special purpose companies to obtain indirect exposure to Chinese issuers; custody risks associated with investing through Stock Connect, a Qualified Foreign Investor (“QFI”) or other programs to access the Chinese securities markets, both interim and permanent market regulations which may affect the ability of certain stockholders to sell Chinese securities when it would otherwise be advisable; different and less stringent financial reporting standards; and increased political pressure from the U.S. and other countries to restrict the ability of investors outside China to invest in Chinese issuers.

7. Line of Credit

The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Climate Selection ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $105 million. Each Fund may borrow money under this credit facility to the extent necessary for temporary or emergency purposes, including the funding of shareholder redemption requests,

 

76  |  DBX ETF Trust


trade settlements, and as necessary to distribute to shareholders any income necessary to maintain each Funds’ status as a regulated investment company. Borrowings are charged an interest rate of 1.25% per annum plus the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus .10%. Each Fund may borrow up to the lesser of 33 percent of its net assets as permitted by the 1940 Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Funds had no outstanding loans at August 31, 2025.

8. Concentration of Ownership

From time to time, the Funds may have a concentration of several shareholders holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund. As of August 31, 2025, there was one affiliated shareholder account for Xtrackers Global Natural Resources ETF, owning 34% of the shares outstanding.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Continued)

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited)

Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Climate Selection ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF and Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with DBX Advisors LLC

After discussions at the meeting of the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) held on May 13-14, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees (those not affiliated with DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) or its service providers), unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to Xtrackers Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction and Climate Improvers ETF, Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Selection Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Climate Selection Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF and Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) for another annual period ending on May 31, 2026. The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and Meeting by K&L Gates LLP (“Independent Trustee Counsel”).

Before reaching their decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Independent Trustees evaluated the materials furnished to them in advance of the Meeting from DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”) for purposes of reviewing the Investment Advisory Agreement’s terms, including statistical information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (“Broadridge”) regarding (a) fee and expense information for each Fund (including the fee and expense components and any amounts waived or reimbursed) as compared to a peer group of other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) selected pursuant to Broadridge’s proprietary methodology (each, a “Peer Group”) and (b) for Funds with two years of performance history as of December 31, 2024, each Fund’s tracking error as compared to its underlying index over the previous five years (or since inception, if shorter). The Independent Trustees met with representatives of the Advisor on May 13, 2025 to review financial reports and other information provided by the Advisor and inquire further with regard to the financial information provided, and asked questions of the Advisor during this meeting. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the discussions they had with management before and during the Meeting and among themselves during their Executive Sessions held during the Meeting.

The Independent Trustees also noted that they had received and should take into consideration a substantial amount of information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, which information included, among other things, an analysis of each Fund’s investment performance, tracking error and related financial information, presentations given by DBX, as well as its periodic reports on brokerage commissions, portfolio execution and other services provided to the Funds.

In reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders; (2) the financial resources of DBX and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services provided by and the profits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds; (5) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized, and if the Funds’ shareholders have benefitted from those economies; and (6) fall out benefits, if any, enjoyed by the Advisor.

The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (“Trust Counsel”) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders as well as consistent with the Board’s duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.

The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services provided and the risks incurred by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from and the discussions it had with the Advisor continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Advisor had provided in response to the Board’s requests prior to the Meeting. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Funds, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Advisor, including portfolio management.

Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited)

(Continued)

The Board considered that the Advisor provides, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Funds and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trust’s service providers. The Board also considered that the Advisor pays or arranges for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Advisor or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Advisor arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Funds’ operations. The Board also considered that in addition to managing the Funds’ portfolios directly, the Advisor provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds.

The Board considered the information regarding each Fund’s tracking error compared to its underlying index that had been provided by the Advisor and by Broadridge, as applicable. The Board took note of the detailed information provided by the Advisor throughout the year with respect to each Fund’s tracking error and the sources thereof. The Trustees noted that tracking error for each Fund during the year was in an expected range.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to the Advisor, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of the unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds’ service providers. The Board considered the staffing of the Advisor, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Funds. The Board also considered the expertise of the Advisor in supervising third party service providers to the Funds, such as the administrator and the custodian, noting the Advisor’s extensive work with these service providers (including due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision. The Board further considered the compliance program of the Advisor, which supports the Funds’ compliance program.

Advisor’s Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Advisor to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Advisor’s financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Advisor has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared each Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses to those of the other ETFs in its Peer Group. The Board noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there were limitations faced by Broadridge in providing comparable funds in the Peer Groups and the information in the Broadridge reports accordingly may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board noted that the advisory fees and total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements, as applicable) for the Funds were below or equal to the average and/or median of the ETFs in each Fund’s respective Peer Group. The Board accordingly noted that each Fund’s fee is competitive with the fees of applicable peer ETFs.

The Board considered that the fee for each of the Funds is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Advisor pays all of the Funds’ operating expenses (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board considered that each Fund’s fee had been priced to scale when it was established. The Board also considered that each Fund’s portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Advisor and that the Advisor also provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for each Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the expenses of the Advisor in developing and rendering services provided to the Funds and the information provided by the Advisor to the Board regarding the Funds’ profitability. The Board considered that the Advisor had provided extensive information about the Advisor’s profitability and the Advisor’s methodology in determining profitability. While the Advisor had provided information about the Advisor’s expenses relating to marketing the Funds, the Board considered the Advisor’s profitability without accounting for such expenses. The Board determined that, although only some of the Funds were profitable as of this time, the Advisor’s profitability with respect to each profitable Fund was not excessive. The Board considered whether the Advisor would benefit in other ways from its relationships with the Funds and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Advisor related to the operation of the Funds.

(Continued)

Economies of Scale. The Board considered that Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Climate Selection ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI USA Selection Equity ETF and Xtrackers Net Zero Pathway Paris Aligned US Equity ETF had attracted a substantial amount of assets, but determined that those Funds were not experiencing economies of scale beyond what was reflected in each Fund’s unitary fee, which the Board noted was competitive. The Board considered that the other Funds were not experiencing economies of scale at this time and determined to revisit this matter after the Funds had attracted more assets. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisors can share benefits of economies of scale.

Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and Meeting by K&L Gates LLP (“Independent Trustee Counsel”).

Before reaching their decision to continue in effect the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Independent Trustees evaluated the materials furnished to them in advance of the Meeting from DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”) and RREEF America L.L.C. (“RREEF” or “Sub-Advisor”), an affiliate of the Advisor, for purposes of reviewing the Investment Advisory Agreement’s and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement’s terms, including statistical information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc.

trading services and services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Fund. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee is reasonable in light of the services provided.

The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous target allocation representing RREEF’s recommendations as to the securities to be purchased, sold or retained by the Fund, which RREEF continually reviews and adjusts as necessary on an ongoing daily basis.

The Board also considered RREEF’s operational capabilities and resources, and its experience in serving as investment sub-advisor to the Fund. The Board considered the professional experience, qualifications and performance of RREEF’s senior management and key professional personnel, as well as RREEF’s depth and breadth of experience in managing investment portfolios of the Fund.
