Xtrackers MSCI World Minimum Volatility UCITS ETF 1C

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The fund aims to reflect the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI World Minimum Volatility (USD) Index (index) which is designed to reflect the performance of certain shares in large and medium listed companies in developed markets countries, which are included in the MSCI World Index (Parent Index). DESCRIPTION OF INDEX: In order to be eligible for inclusion in the index, shares must be included as constituents within the Parent Index and are then selected using a minimum volatility strategy. Volatility is a way of measuring the movement of prices of shares over time. In general, shares whose price varies significantly on a regular basis are considered to have higher volatility than those with less significant price movements. The share selection process is based on a pre-defined model operated by the index administrator. The model seeks to forecast the volatility of the shares and, in conjunction with an optimisation technique, additional risk criteria such as minimum and maximum weightings per company, country or sector will be applied. 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 rebalanced on a quarterly basis and may also be rebalanced at other times to reflect corporate activity such as mergers and acquisitions. The index is calculated in US Dollars on a daily basis. INVESTMENT POLICY: To achieve the aim, the fund will attempt to replicate the index, before fees and expenses, by buying all or a substantial number of the securities in the index. The fund may employ techniques and instruments in order to manage risk, reduce costs and improve results. These techniques and instruments may include the use of financial contracts (derivatives). The fund may also engage in secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate addit
