| Investment Objective: |
Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF seeks to give investors exposure to high-quality international equities across developed market countries (ex. the U.S. and Canada), and provide an alternative, potentially reliable income stream. The fund, using a "passive" or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that correspond gener ally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is designed to track developed market performance. The fund uses a full replication indexing strategy to seek to track the Underlying Index. As such, the fund invests directly in the component securities of the Underlying Index in substantially the same weightings in which they are represented in the Underlying Index. The securities selected are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield), and liquidity measures similar to those of the Underlying Index. |
