Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond Screened UCITS ETF 1C

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance of the Bloomberg MSCI US High Yield Sustainable and SRI Index (index). DESCRIPTION OF INDEX: The index aims to reflect the performance of USD denominated, high yield, fixed-rate corporate bonds, excluding bonds which do not fulfil specific ESG criteria. The bonds must have a fixed rate of interest, must be rated less than Ba1/BB+ and meet certain currency, sector, amount outstanding, maturity, coupon, seniority of debt, market of issue, and security type criteria. ESG CRITERIA: Bonds rated below BB by MSCI ESG Research are excluded. Issuers with a "red" MSCI ESG Controversies score (less than 1) and issuers that breach certain thresholds in controversial activities are also excluded from the index. At least 20% of issuers will be excluded from the original universe using the ESG criteria. Issuers with MSCI ESG Ratings of BBB or higher will be weighted in the index at 100% weight by market value while the weight of bonds from issuers with MSCI ESG Ratings of BB will be weighted in the index at a 50% weight by market value. The weight of each issuer is limited to 3%. The composition of the index is rebalanced monthly. INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION: The index is administered by Bloomberg Index Services Limited. The index is calculated on a total return basis which means that the payments from coupons are reinvested in the index. INVESTMENT POLICY: To achieve the aim, the fund will attempt to replicate the index, before fees and expenses, by buying a portfolio of securities that may comprise the constituents of the index or other unrelated investments as determined by DWS entities. 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 derivatives.
