Xtrackers MSCI Europe Materials UCITS ETF 1C

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance of the MSCI Europe Materials Screened 20-35 Select Index (index). DESCRIPTION OF INDEX: The index is based on the MSCI Europe Materials Index (Parent Index), which is designed to reflect the performance of shares in large and medium capitalisation companies across certain developed markets in Europe which are classified in the materials sector as per the Global Industry Classification Standard. In order to be eligible for inclusion in the index, companies must be eligible for inclusion in the Parent Index and must meet certain ESG screening criteria. ESG CRITERIA: Securities which breach certain ESG standards, as disclosed in the prospectus and/or supplement, are excluded. The index also includes a carbon emission reduction rule, whereby if having applied the above exclusions, the Greenhouse Gas ("GHG") intensity of the index has been insufficiently reduced compared to the Parent Index, constituents are excluded by descending order of GHG intensity until a relevant reduction threshold is achieved. The weight of the largest group entity in the index is capped at 31.5% and the weights of all other entities are capped at 18% at each quarterly index rebalancing. Where the largest group entity has exceeded 35% or any other entity has exceeded 20% in the lead up to each month-end, such entities will be rebalanced to 31.5% and 18% respectively. INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION: The index is calculated on a total return net basis which means that all dividends and distributions by the companies are reinvested in the shares after tax. The index is reviewed and rebalanced on at least a quarterly basis. The index is calculated in Euros on a daily basis. INVESTMENT POLICY: To achieve the aim, the fund will attempt to replicate the index, before fees and expenses, by buying all or a substantial number of the securities in the index.
