To our shareholders:

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

I am very pleased to tell you that the db X-trackers exchange-traded funds were renamed Deutsche X-trackers exchange-traded funds effective August 11, 2014, aligning more closely with the Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management brand. We are proud to adopt the Deutsche name — a brand that fully represents the global access, discipline and intelligence that support all of our products and services.

Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management combines the asset management and wealth management divisions of Deutsche Bank to deliver a comprehensive suite of investment capabilities. Your investment in the Deutsche X-trackers exchange-traded funds means you have access to the thought leadership and resources of one of the world’s largest and most influential financial institutions.

In conjunction with your fund’s name change, please note the new Web address for the Deutsche X-trackers exchange-traded funds. The former dbxus.com is now deutsche-etfs.com.

These changes have no effect on the day-to-day management of your investment, and there is no action required on your part. You will continue to experience the benefits that come from our decades of experience, in-depth research and worldwide network of investment professionals.

Thanks for your continued support. We appreciate your trust and the opportunity to put our capabilities to work for you.

Sincerely,

Performance summary (Unaudited)

 

Deutsche X-trackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF (DBAW)

The Deutsche X-trackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI ACWI ex USA US Dollar Hedged Index (the “Underlying Index”). The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to equity securities in developed and emerging stock markets (excluding the United States), while at the same time mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and selected non-U.S. currencies.

For the six-month period ended November 30, 2014, the Fund’s net asset value increased 3.78%, compared to an increase of 3.95% for the MSCI ACWI ex US Dollar Hedged Index and a decrease of 3.94% for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index.

1 Total returns are calculated based on the commencement of operations, 1/23/14 (“Inception”).

Performance quoted represents past performance, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.deutsche-etfs.com. Investment in the fund poses investment risk including possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The estimated operating expense ratio as disclosed in the most recent prospectus dated October 1, 2014, was 0.40%.

The preceding performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period(s) noted. The net asset value return is based on the changes in the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”). The Fund’s NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The market price return is based on the change in the market price on the NYSE Arca of a share of the Fund for the period(s) indicated. The price used to calculate market price returns is the midpoint of the bid/ask spread for Fund shares at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on the NYSE Arca. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. The MSCI ACWI ex USA Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity performance of developed and emerging stock markets (excluding the United States). The MSCI ACWI ex USA Dollar Hedged Index is the index that the Fund seeks to track. It is calculated using the same methodology as its corresponding MSCI ACWI ex USA Index, but is designed to mitigate exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and non-U.S. currencies.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and are not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on transactions in Fund shares.

NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure developed market equity performance, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The MSCI EAFE US Dollar Hedged Index is the index that the Fund seeks to track. It is calculated using the same methodology as its corresponding MSCI EAFE Index, but is designed to mitigate exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and non-U.S. currencies.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and are not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on transactions in Fund shares.

Performance quoted represents past performance, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.deutsche-etfs.com. Investment in the fund poses investment risk including possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The estimated operating expense ratio as disclosed in the most recent prospectus dated October 1, 2014, was 0.50%.

The preceding performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period(s) noted. The net asset value return is based on the changes in the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”). The Fund’s NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The market price return is based on the change in the market price on the NYSE Arca of a share of the Fund for the period(s) indicated. The price used to calculate market price returns is the midpoint of the bid/ask spread for Fund shares at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on the NYSE Arca. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. The MSCI Mexico IMI 25/50 Index is designed to measure equity performance in Mexican market. The MSCI Mexico IMI 25/50 US Dollar Hedged Index is the index that the Fund seeks to track. It is calculated using the same methodology as its corresponding MSCI Mexico IMI 25/50 Index, but is designed to mitigate exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and non-U.S. currencies.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and are not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on transactions in Fund shares.

Fees and expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of one or more of the funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended November 30, 2014 (June 1, 2014 to November 30, 2014).

Actual expenses

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses (which is not the Funds’ actual return). The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Organization

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

As of November 30, 2014, the Trust consists of seventeen non-diversified series of exchange-traded funds (“ETF”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:

Deutsche X-trackers MSCI United Kingdom Hedged Equity ETF db X-trackers MSCI United Kingdom Hedged Equity Fund

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, 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.

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, only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

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

Deutsche X-trackers MSCI United Kingdom Hedged Equity ETF MSCI United Kingdom US Dollar Hedged Index

MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”) is the creator of each MSCI Hedged Underlying Index. Each MSCI Hedged Underlying Index is comprised of securities listed in countries in the MSCI Global Index Series. All listed equity securities and listed securities that exhibit characteristics of equity securities, except mutual funds, exchange traded funds, equity derivatives, limited partnerships and most investment trusts, are eligible for inclusion in the equity universe. REITs in some countries and certain income trusts in Canada are also eligible for inclusion. Each company and its securities (i.e., share classes) are classified in only one country, which allows for a distinctive sorting of each company by its respective country.

The MSCI Hedged Indices are rebalanced monthly on the last trading day of the month, when the index will take into account the effect of rolling into new 1-month forward contracts based on the newly determined weights of currency to be sold for the next month’s index calculation. The currency weights are determined as of the close of two business days before the first calendar day of following month and remain constant intra month. This means

DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to financial statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

that no changes in the weights are made during the month to account for changes in the indexes due to price movement of securities, corporate events, additions, deletions or any other changes. The daily calculation of MSCI Hedged Indices marks to market the one-month forward contracts on a daily basis by using an equal and offsetting forward position.

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

Each Fund is non-diversified and is not limited by the Act with regard to the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. The securities of a particular issuer (or securities of issuers in particular industries) may dominate the underlying index of such a 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.

The funds invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. Markets, this involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets and the risk of war.

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. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation    The Net Asset Value (“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.

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 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.

Equity securities 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 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 are generally 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.

Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and are categorized as Level 2.

 

127


DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to financial statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

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 Board and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Fund’s 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 net asset value 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.

The following table summarizes the valuation of each Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of November 30, 2014 (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories).

* See Schedule of Investments for Industry or Country Classification.

Cash    Cash consists of cash held at banks and are on deposits with major financial institutions.

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 semi-annually sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, Federal income and excise taxes. 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.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements regarding accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on foreign, federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Advisor does not believe that the unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.

The Funds’ recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended November 30, 2014, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Notes to financial statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

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. Foreign taxes payable as of November 30, 2014, 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. That 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.

Derivatives

Forward Currency Contracts    Each Fund may enter into forward currency contracts designed to offset a Fund’s exposure to non-U.S. currencies. In addition, the Funds may enter into foreign currency forward and foreign currency futures contracts to facilitate local securities settlements or to protect against currency exposure in connection with distributions to Shareholders.

The Deutsche X-trackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF, Deutsche X-trackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF, Deutsche X-trackers Asia Pacific ex Japan ETF, Deutsche X-trackers Europe ETF, and Deutsche X-trackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF invest in forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge against changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against specified non-U.S. currencies. Similarly, the Deutsche X-trackers MSCI Brazil Hedged Equity ETF, Deutsche X-trackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF, Deutsche X-trackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF, Deutsche X-trackers MSCI South Korea Hedged Equity ETF Deutsche X-trackers United Kingdom ETF, and Deutsche X-trackers MSCI Mexico Hedged Equity ETF each invest in forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge against changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Brazilian real, Euro, the Japanese yen, the South Korean won, the British Pound sterling and the Mexican peso respectively.

A forward currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the original contract and the closing of such contract would be included in net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The face or contract amount, in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the respective Fund has in that particular currency contract.

A summary of the open forward currency exchange contracts as of November 30, 2014 is included in a table following the Funds’ Schedule of Investments. The investment in forward foreign currency exchange contracts short vs. U.S. dollars had a contract value generally indicative of a range of the total exposure the respective Fund had to the value of non U.S currencies during the six months ended November 30, 2014.

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. Each Fund may enter into futures contracts in seeking performance that corresponds to its Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.

Notes to financial statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

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 November 30, 2014 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 November 30, 2014 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

7. Fund Share Transactions

As of November 30, 2014, 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. The purchase of Creation Units for Deutsche X-trackers Brazil Hedged Equity ETF are generally issued in exchange for a specific amount of cash totaling the NAV of the Creation Units. 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.

8. Investing in Emerging Markets

Investment in emerging markets subjects a Fund to a greater risk of loss than investments in a developed market. This is due to, among other things, (i) greater market volatility, (ii) lower trading volume, (iii) political and economic instability, (iv) high levels of inflations, deflation or currency devaluation, (v) greater risk of market shut down, (vi) more governmental limitations on foreign investments and limitations on repatriation of invested capital than those typically found in a developed market, and (vii) the risk that companies may be held to lower disclosure, corporate governance, auditing and financial reporting standards than companies in more developed markets.

 

142


DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to financial statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility in a Fund’s investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.

Settlement practices for transactions in foreign markets may differ from those in U.S. markets. Such differences include delays beyond periods customary in the United States and practices, such as delivery of securities prior to receipt of payment, which increase the likelihood of a “failed settlement.” Failed settlements can result in losses to a Fund. Low trading volumes and volatile prices in less developed markets make trades harder to complete and settle, and governments or trade groups may compel local agents to hold securities in designated depositories that are not subject to independent evaluation. Local agents are held only to the standards of care of their local markets.

9. Line of Credit

Trust entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a commercial bank which allows the Deutsche X-trackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF, and certain other funds managed by the Advisor, to borrow up to $100 million.

The 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 the Fund’s 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 one-month LIBOR Rate. Each Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. The Fund had no loans outstanding at November 30, 2014.

10. Concentration of Ownership

From time to time, the Funds may have a concentration of several shareholder accounts holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund. At November 30, 2014, there was one affiliated shareholder account for each of the funds listed below holding a significant percentage of the shares outstanding:

This report is intended for the shareholders of the DBX ETF Trust.

Carefully consider a Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus, which may be obtained by calling 1-855-DBX-ETFS (1-855-329-3837), or by viewing or downloading a prospectus at WWW.DEUTSCHE-ETFS.COM. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. 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 than the markets or more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Funds investing in a single industry, 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 the fund. See the prospectus for details.

Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the New York Stock Exchange. Transactions in Fund shares may result in brokerage commissions and may generate tax consequences. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares of a fund will develop or be maintained.

Performance summary (Unaudited)

 

Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF (ASHR)

The Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF (ASHR) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the CSI 300 Index (the “Underlying Index”). The Underlying Index is designed to reflect the price fluctuation and performance of the China A-Share market and is composed of the 300 largest and most liquid stocks in the China A-Share market. The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the Underlying Index.

For the six-month period ended November 30, 2014, the Fund’s net asset value increased 33.85%, compared to an increase of 35.14% for the Underlying Index.

1 Total returns are calculated based on the commencement of operations, 11/06/13 (“Inception”).

Performance quoted represents past performance, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.deutsche-etfs.com. Investment in the fund poses investment risk including possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The estimated operating expense ratio as disclosed in the most recent prospectus dated October 1, 2014, was 0.80%.

The preceding performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period(s) noted. The net asset value return is based on the changes in the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”). The Fund’s NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The market price return is based on the change in the market price on the NYSE Arca of a share of the Fund for the period(s) indicated. The price used to calculate market price returns is the midpoint of the bid/ask spread for Fund shares at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on the NYSE Arca. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and are not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on transactions in Fund shares.

Performance quoted represents past performance, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.deutsche-etfs.com. Investment in the fund poses investment risk including possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The estimated operating expense ratio as disclosed in the most recent prospectus dated October 1, 2014, was 0.80%.

The preceding performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period(s) noted. The net asset value return is based on the changes in the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”). The Fund’s NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The market price return is based on the change in the market price on the NYSE Arca of a share of the Fund for the period(s) indicated. The price used to calculate market price returns is the midpoint of the bid/ask spread for Fund shares at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on the NYSE Arca. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and are not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on transactions in Fund shares.

Fees and expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of one or more of the funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. In the most recent six-month period, Deutsche X-trackers Harvest MSCI All China Equity ETF limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended November 30, 2014 (June 1, 2014 to November 30, 2014).

Actual expenses

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses (which is not the Funds’ actual return). The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the period June 01, 2014 to November 30, 2014. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 183 days and then dividing the result by 365.

Notes to financial statements

 

1. Organization

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

As of November 30, 2014, the Trust consists of seventeen non-diversified series of exchange-traded funds (“ETF”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:

 

New Fund Name

  

Former Fund Name

Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF    db X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares Fund
Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF    db X-trackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap Fund
Deutsche X-trackers Harvest MSCI All China Equity ETF    db X-trackers Harvest MSCI All China Equity Fund

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, 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.

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, only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

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

 

Fund

  

Underlying Index

Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF    CSI 300 Index
Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF    CSI 500 Index
Deutsche X-trackers Harvest MSCI All China Equity ETF    MSCI All China Index

CSI 300 Index is calculated and maintained by China Securities Index Co., Ltd. It is a modified free-float market capitalization weighted index composed of the largest and most liquid stocks in the Chinese A-Share market. Constituent stocks for the Underlying Index must have been listed on either the Shanghai Stock Exchange or the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The composition of the Underlying Index is rebalanced every six-months.

CSI 500 Index is calculated and maintained by China Securities Index Co., Ltd. It is a modified free-float market capitalization weighted index composed of the 500 smallest and most liquid stocks in the Chinese A-Share market. Constituent stocks for the Underlying Index must have been listed on either the Shanghai Stock Exchange or the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The composition of the Underlying Index is rebalanced every six-months.

MSCI is the creator of the MSCI All China Index. The MSCI All China Index captures large and mid-cap representation across all China securities listed in China and Hong Kong as well as in the U.S. and Singapore. The Underlying Index includes: A shares, B shares, H shares, Red chips and P chips share classes as well as securities of Chinese Companies listed in the U.S. and Singapore. With over 600 constituents, the Underlying index is comprehensive, aiming to cover the global large and mid-cap China equity opportunity set. The MSCI All China Index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis.

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

Each Fund is non-diversified and is not limited by the Act with regard to the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. The securities of a particular issuer (or securities of issuers in particular industries) may dominate the underlying index of such a 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.

The Funds invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers that trade in non-U.S. Markets, this involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not

limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets and the risk of war.

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. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation    The Net Asset Value (“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.

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 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.

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.

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 Board and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Fund’s 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 net asset value 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.

(a) During the period ended November 30, 2014, the amount of transfers between Level 1 and Level 3 was $9,494. Investments were transferred from Level 1 to Level 3 as a result of a halt in trading on a securities exchange. These halted securities are valued at the last traded price.

 

   Transfers between price levels are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period.

Cash    Cash consists of cash held at banks and are on deposit with major financial institutions.

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 annually sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, Federal income and excise taxes. 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.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements regarding accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on foreign, federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Advisor does not believe that the unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.

Notes to financial statements (Continued)

 

The Funds’ recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the six-months ended November 30, 2014, 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, and foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories. Foreign taxes payable as of November 30, 2014, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds’ investments in China A-Shares (including the Deutsche X-trackers Harvest MSCI All China Equity ETF though its investments in Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF and Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF) will be subject to a number of Chinese tax rules and the application of many of those rules is evolving. Chinese taxes that may apply to the Funds’ investments include withholding taxes on dividends and interest earned by the Funds.

China generally imposes withholding tax at a rate of 10% on dividends and interest derived by Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“QFII”) from issuers resident in China, subject to any lower rate provided by an applicable tax treaty. There is no direct authority on the application of this tax to an Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (“RQFII”), but it is expected that the authorities requiring such withholding with respect to QFIIs and nonresident enterprises generally would be followed in the case of an RQFII that is not a PRC resident for tax purposes and does not have a place of business, an establishment or a permanent establishment in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). It is generally expected that such taxes will be withheld by the payor.

With the approval from the PRC State Council, the PRC State Administration of Taxation, the PRC Ministry of Finance and the China Securities Regulatory Commission jointly issued Caishui [2014] 79 (Circular 79) on November 14, 2014. According to Circular 79, RQFIIs are temporarily exempt from PRC Withholding Income Tax (WHT) with respect to gains derived from the trading of equity investments (including shares in PRC enterprises) effective from November 17, 2014. With respect to gains derived from equity investments prior to November 17, 2014, RQFIIs are subject to WHT at a rate of 10% on such gains on a gross basis, subject to any lower rate provided by an applicable tax treaty. The above WHT treatment applies to RQFIIs which do not have a permanent establishment (“PE”) in the PRC. The Funds do not have PEs in the PRC, therefore, the Funds are only be subject to WHT at 10% with respect to gross realized gains derived from the disposal of land-rich A-Share companies and exempt from WHT with respect to gross realized gains derived from non land-rich A-Share companies prior to November 17, 2014. Thus, the Funds reserve a portion of realized gains from investments in A-Shares of “land-rich” enterprises disposed of, prior to November 17, 2014, at a rate of 10% to meet WHT liabilities. Land-rich enterprises are companies whose value of immovable property in the PRC is greater than 50% of their value of total assets. It should be noted that the above treaty relief on gross realized gains derived from the disposal of non land-rich A-Share companies is subject to the approval of the PRC tax authorities. The Funds’ withholding provision with respect to such investments may be excessive or inadequate to meet liabilities for those WHT. The Funds could be subject to WHT liability in excess of the amount reserved. The impact of any such WHT liability on the Funds’ return could be substantial.

The PRC rules for taxation of RQFIIs (and QFIIs) are evolving and the tax regulations to be issued by the PRC State Administration of Taxation and/or PRC Ministry of Finance to clarify the subject matter may adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders. The applicability of reduced treaty rates of withholding in the case of an RQFII acting for a foreign investor such as the Funds is also uncertain.

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. That 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.

3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Advisor has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Under an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the ETFs, and the Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Advisor is responsible for arranging sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration, and all other non-distribution related services for the Funds to operate. The Advisor is also responsible for employing any sampling strategy for the Funds.

Harvest Global Investments Ltd. acts as investment sub-advisor (the “Sub-Advisor”) to the Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF and the Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF. The Sub-Advisor is responsible for day-to-day management of each Fund, subject to the replication strategy for each Fund with regard to its underlying index and for general administration, compliance and management services as may be agreed between the Advisor and Sub-Advisor from time to time.

For its investment advisory services to the Funds below, the Advisor is entitled to receive a unitary management fee from each Fund at an annual rate equal to:

 

Fund

   Management Fee  

Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF

     0.80

Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF

     0.80

Deutsche X-trackers Harvest MSCI All China Equity ETF

     0.60

Out of the unitary management fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of each Fund, including the payments to the Sub-Advisor, the cost of transfer 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, taxes, brokerage expenses, and extraordinary expenses.

The Advisor for the Deutsche X-trackers Harvest MSCI All China Equity ETF has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in order to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses by an amount equal to the Fund’s management fee attributable to the Fund’s assets invested in an affiliated fund, if any (the “Expense Limit”). For the six-months ended November 30, 2014, the Advisor reimbursed $8,311 of expenses to the Fund. The Expense Limit will remain in effect until at least May 1, 2016.

The Advisor pays the Sub-Advisor a fee based on a percentage of the average daily net assets for each of the Funds listed below:

 

Fund

   Sub-Advisor Fee  

Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF

     0.30

Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF

     0.30

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 four Trustees, of whom three are Independent Trustees. The Advisor pays retainer fees to each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor, plus a specified amount to the Audit Committee.

7. Fund Share Transactions

As of November 30, 2014 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 Deutsche X-trackers Harvest MSCI All China Equity ETF 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. The purchase of Creation Units for Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF and Deutsche X-trackers CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF are generally issued in exchange for a specific amount of cash totaling the NAV of the Creation Units. 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.

8. Line of Credit

The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a commercial bank which allows the Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF, Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $100 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 Fund’s 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 one-month LIBOR Rate. Each Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. The Funds had no outstanding loans at November 30, 2014.

This report is intended for the shareholders of DBX ETF Trust.

Carefully consider a Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus, which may be obtained by calling 1-855-DBX-ETFS (1-855-329-3837), or by viewing or downloading a prospectus at www.deutsche-etfs.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. 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. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile than the markets or more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Special risks associated with investments in Chinese companies include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards the nature and extent of intervention by the Chinese government in the Chinese securities markets, and the potential unavailability of A shares. Uncertainties in the Chinese tax rules governing taxation of income and gains from investments in A-shares could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund which may reduce Fund returns. Any reduction or elimination of access to A-shares will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the fund to achieve its investment objective. 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. See the prospectus for details.

Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the New York Stock Exchange. Transactions in Fund shares may result in brokerage commissions and may generate tax consequences. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares of a fund will develop or be maintained.

Deutsche X-trackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF (RVNU)

The Deutsche X-trackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the DBIQ Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond Index (the “Index”). The Index is designed to track the returns of the segment of the U.S. long term tax-exempt bond market, consisting of infrastructure revenue bonds.

For the six-month period ended November 30, 2014, the Fund’s net asset value increased 3.99%, compared to an increase of 3.92% for the Underlying Index.

1 Total returns are calculated based on the commencement of trading, 6/04/13 (“Inception”).

Performance quoted represents past performance, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.deutsche-etfs.com. Investment in the fund poses investment risk including possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The estimated operating expense ratio as disclosed in the most recent prospectus dated October 1, 2014, was 0.30%.

The preceding performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period(s) noted. The net asset value return is based on the changes in the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”). The Fund’s NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The market price return is based on the change in the market price on the NYSE Arca of a share of the Fund for the period(s) indicated. The price used to calculate market price returns is the midpoint of the bid/ask spread for Fund shares at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on the NYSE Arca. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and are not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on transactions in Fund shares.

The net asset value return is based on the changes in the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”). The Fund’s NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The market price return is based on the change in the market price on the NYSE Arca of a share of the Fund for the period(s) indicated. The price used to calculate market price returns is the midpoint of the bid/ask spread for Fund shares at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on the NYSE Arca. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and are not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on transactions in Fund shares.

Deutsche X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt ETF (SUBD)

The Deutsche X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt ETF (SUBD) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Subordinated Bond Index (the “Index”). The Index is designed to track the subordinated corporate bond market denominated in U.S. dollars. The Index is comprised of corporate securities which are classified as subordinated or junior subordinated. Subordinated securities are subordinated or “junior” to more senior securities of the issuer and are entitled to payment after other, more senior holders of debt in that issuer. Junior subordinated securities generally rank slightly higher in terms of payment priority than both common and preferred stock of an issuer, but rank below other subordinated securities and debt securities. In order to be added to the index, a bond must have an amount outstanding of at least $500 million and a remaining maturity of at least one year. The index may include U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued by issuers located outside the U.S. (including emerging markets). Additionally, the index may include a substantial number of bonds offered pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of November 30, 2014, the index was substantially comprised of issuers in the financial services sector.

For the six-month period ended November 30, 2014, the Fund’s net asset value increased 2.66%, compared to an increase of 2.97% for the Underlying Index.

Performance quoted represents past performance, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.deutsche-etfs.com. Investment in the fund poses investment risk including possible loss of principal. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The estimated operating expense ratio as disclosed in the most recent prospectus dated October 1, 2014, was 0.45%.

The preceding performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period(s) noted. The net asset value return is based on the changes in the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”). The Fund’s NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The market price return is based on the change in the market price on the NYSE Arca of a share of the Fund for the period(s) indicated. The price used to calculate market price returns is the midpoint of the bid/ask spread for Fund shares at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on the NYSE Arca. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and are not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on transactions in Fund shares.

Fees and expenses

 

As a shareholder of one or more of the funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended November 30, 2014 (June 1, 2014 to November 30, 2014).

Actual expenses

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses (which is not the Funds’ actual return). The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the period June 01, 2014 to November 30, 2014. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 183 days and then dividing the result by 365.

Notes to financial statements

 

1. Organization

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

As of November 30, 2014, the Trust consists of seventeen non-diversified series of exchange-traded funds (“ETF”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:

 

New Fund Name

  

Former Fund Name

Deutsche X-trackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF    db X-trackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond Fund
Deutsche X-trackers Regulated Utilities ETF    db X-trackers Regulated Utilities Fund
Deutsche X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt ETF    db X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt Fund

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, 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.

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, only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

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

 

Fund

  

Underlying Index

Deutsche X-trackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF    DBIQ Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond Index
Deutsche X-trackers Regulated Utilities ETF    DBIQ Regulated Utilities Index
Deutsche X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt ETF    Solactive Subordinated Bond Index

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is the creator of each DBIQ Underlying Index. The DBIQ Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond Index is designed to track the returns of the segment of the U.S. long term tax-exempt bond market, consisting of infrastructure revenue bonds. It is comprised of tax-exempt municipal securities issued by states, cities, counties, districts, their respective agencies and other tax-exempt issuers. The Underlying Index is intended to track bonds that have been issued with the intention of funding federal, state and local infrastructure projects such as water and sewer systems, public power systems, toll roads, bridges, tunnels and many other public use projects. It is designed to only hold bonds issued by state and local municipalities where the interest and principal repayments are generated from dedicated revenue streams or a double-barreled revenue stream (pledged revenue stream and a general obligation pledge). The DBIQ Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond Index is rebalanced monthly on the last business day of each month. The DBIQ Regulated Utilities Index is designed to track the price movements in shares of companies whose main business operations are in the regulated utilities sector. It consists of issuers of large, medium or small market capitalization from the following seven developed market countries: Australia, Belguim, Canada, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Underlying Index is a total return index, which tracks capital gains and assumes that any cash distributions are reinvested back into the Underlying Index. The composition of the DBIQ Regulated Utilities Index is ordinarily adjusted annually on the fifth business day of October.

Solactive AG maintains and calculates the Solactive Subordinated Bond Index. It is designed to track the subordinated corporate bond market denominated in U.S. dollars. It is comprised of corporate securities which are classified as subordinated or junior subordinated. The Underlying Index is a total return index, which assumes that any cash distributions are reinvested. Financial instruments must meet certain requirements in order for it to be included in the Underlying Index. The Solactive Subordinated Bond Index is reconstituted on a monthly basis and the composition is determined five business days prior to the last business day of each month.

DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to financial statements (Continued)

 

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

Each Fund is non-diversified and is not limited by the Act with regard to the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. The securities of a particular issuer (or securities of issuers in particular industries) may dominate the underlying index of such a 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.

The Deutsche X-trackers Regulated Utilities ETF and the Deutsche X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt ETF may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers that may trade in non-U.S. Markets. This may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Fund; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets and the risk of war.

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. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation    The Net Asset Value (“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.

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 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.

Equity securities 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 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 are generally categorized as Level 1.

Municipal debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services approved by the Funds’ Board, whose valuations are intended to reflect the mean between the bid and asked prices. 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, prepayment speeds and other data, as well as broker quotes. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, debt securities are valued at the average of the most recent reliable bid quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, obtained from broker-dealers. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2.

Notes to financial statements (Continued)

 

Corporate debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services approved by the Funds’ Board, whose valuations are intended to reflect the mean between the bid and asked prices. 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, prepayment speeds and other data, as well as broker quotes. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, debt securities are valued at the average of the most recent reliable bid quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, obtained from broker-dealers. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2.

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 Board and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Fund’s 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 net asset value 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.

The following table summarizes the valuation of each Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of November 30, 2014. For the six months ended November 30, 2014, there were no transfers between investment levels.

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. All premiums and discounts for Deutsche X-trackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF and Deutsche X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt ETF are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.

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 net investment income, monthly or quarterly, depending on the fund, sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all Federal income and excise taxes. Deutsche X-trackers Regulated Utilities ETF pays out dividends from net investment income to investors quarterly, and Deutsche X-trackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF and Deutsche X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt ETF pay 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. Differences for Deutsche X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt ETF primarily relate to premium amortization on debt securities. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements regarding accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on foreign, federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Advisor does not believe that the unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.

The Funds’ recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended November 30, 2014, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Foreign Taxes    The Deutsche X-trackers Regulated Utilities ETF and the Deutsche X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt ETF 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. Foreign taxes payable as of November 30, 2014, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translation    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. That 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.

3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Advisor has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Under an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Advisor is responsible for arranging sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration, and all other non-distribution related services for the Funds to operate. The Advisor is also responsible for employing any sampling strategy for the Funds.

The Deutsche X-trackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF and the Deutsche X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt ETF are sub-advised by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (“DIMA”). The sub-advisors are responsible for day-to-day management of the Funds, subject to the replication strategy for each Fund with regard to its underlying index and for general administration, compliance and management services as may be agreed between the Advisor and sub-advisor from time to time.

For its investment advisory services to the Funds below, the Advisor is entitled to receive a unitary management fee from each Fund at an annual rate equal to:

 

Fund

   Unitary
Management Fee
 

Deutsche X-trackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF

     0.30

Deutsche X-trackers Regulated Utilities ETF

     0.45

Deutsche X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt ETF

     0.45

Out of the unitary management fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of each Fund, including the payments to the sub-advisors, the cost of transfer 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, taxes, brokerage expenses and extraordinary expenses.

The Advisor pays DIMA a fee based on a percentage of the average daily net assets for each of the Funds listed below:

 

Fund

 

Sub-Advisor Fee

Deutsche X-trackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF
  0.05% on the average daily net assets
Deutsche X-trackers Solactive Investment Grade Subordinated Debt ETF   0.09% on the average daily net assets

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 four Trustees, of whom three are Independent Trustees. The Trust paid retainer fees to each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor, plus a specified amount to the audit committee.

4. Federal Income Taxes

As of November 30, 2014, the cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes and the aggregated gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments were as follows:

Notes to financial statements (Continued)

 

At May 31, 2014, 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. 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.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period.

During the period ended May 31, 2014, the Deutsche X-trackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF incurred and elected to defer net capital losses of $23,902.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

6. Fund Share Transactions

As of November 30, 2014, 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.

7. Concentration of Ownership

From time to time, the Funds may have a concentration of several shareholder accounts holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund. At November 30, 2014, there was one affiliated shareholder account for each of the funds listed below holding a significant percentage of the shares outstanding:

This report is intended for the shareholders of DBX ETF Trust.

Carefully consider a Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus, which may be obtained by calling 1-855-DBX-ETFS (1-855-329-3837), or by viewing or downloading a prospectus at www.deutsche-etfs.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including 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. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. In certain situations, it may be difficult or impossible to sell an investment at an acceptable price. The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities offered pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, which are restricted securities. They may be less liquid and more difficult to value than other investments because such securities may not be readily marketable in broad public markets. Subordinated securities are more likely to suffer a credit loss than non-subordinated securities of the same issuer, any loss incurred by the subordinated securities is likely to be proportionately greater, and any recovery of interest or principal may take more time. Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds and there may be less information available on the financial condition of issuers of municipal securities than for public corporations. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax. Stocks may decline in value. Companies in the utilities sector are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including operating costs; increased competition; deregulation; effects of a national energy policy; costs and other problems associated with the design, construction, licensing, regulation and operation of nuclear facilities; and potential impact of terrorist activities on the utility industry and its customers and the impact of natural or man-made disasters. Issuers in the utilities sector also may be subject to regulation by various governmental authorities and may be affected by the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards. 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. See the prospectus for details.

Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the New York Stock Exchange. Transactions in Fund shares may result in brokerage commissions and may generate tax consequences. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares of a fund will develop or be maintained.
