To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)
Dear shareholder,
We are pleased to provide this annual report on our Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF for the period ended May 31, 2023.
The global economy witnessed a period of volatility due to heightened inflation, growing interest rates, and sluggish industrial activity amid geopolitical tension between Russia and Ukraine. Rising inflation in both developed and emerging economies affected the cost of living as disposable incomes were eroded, resulting in aggressive interest rate hikes by the major central banks. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) has raised rates eight consecutive times from June 2022 until its recent meeting in May 2023 from 1% to 5.25%. The European Central Bank (ECB) has followed suit and raised Eurozone interest rates from 0% to 3.75%. Meanwhile, in Q2 2023, financial distress due to regional banking turmoil created new headwinds for the U.S. economy and increased the risk of recession later this year.
The Russia-Ukraine war and Chinas Zero COVID policy added to supply headwinds, causing a slowdown in Europe. The energy crisis was aggravated by the closure of Nord Stream 1, the main pipeline supplying Russian gas to Europe. However, Eurozone inflation declined to a one-year low in March 2023 as CPI1 came in at 6.1%, significantly lower than the multi-decade high of 10.7% reached in October 2022. In the U.S., GDP2 grew at a weaker rate in 2022 than in 2021 but saw green shoots emerge in the second half 2022, followed by a slowdown in the first quarter of 2023. Inflation peaked in June 2022 and then continued on its downward trajectory. The labor market remained moderately resilient as the unemployment rate stayed stable during the period amid slowing wage growth. Meanwhile, in the U.K., markets remained volatile amid political and economic uncertainty as the austerity plan released in September 2022 by then Prime Minister Liz Truss received a negative welcome from markets, sending the pound sterling to an all-time low against the U.S. dollar. Markets cheered Rishi Sunaks appointment as the countrys new prime minister while many of the policies announced by the former government were reversed.
The Bank of Japan remained accommodative and widened the band within which it had been maintaining 10-year bond yields. Japanese equity markets rose sharply in the first half of 2023, backed by strong GDP numbers, while CPI accelerated 4.1% year on year in April 2023, the biggest rise since 1981, increasing investor optimism that Japan is moving away from the deflationary stagnation of the past.
Notably, high borrowing costs and global monetary tightening made the global real estate markets non-compelling to investors. In the U.S., remote work and rising interest rates weighed on the commercial real estate sector. Office property values dropped 25% from 2022 levels, and average occupancy declined to less than half since March 2020. Within commodities, energy prices softened in the first half of 2023, and industrial metals saw price declines due to weakening demand from top consumer China, while precious metals such as gold and silver recorded robust price gains
We believe central banks across the world will likely remain cautious in their approach to monetary policy and watch for positive signs in the economy before taking any interest rate action. Recent banking system stress and debt ceiling-related concerns are also likely to weigh on the U.S. Federal Reserves (Feds) decisions in the coming months. Unlike the Fed, the ECB has clearly maintained its stance on monetary action and is willing to hike rates further until inflation is within its comfort range. The entire world, in our view, will be keenly watching how China recovers from its COVID-19-induced restrictions to induce an uptick in industrial activity and income recovery while boosting private sector investment.
Our team appreciates your trust and looks forward to serving your investment needs through innovative index-driven strategies.
Sincerely,
/s/ Freddi Klassen

Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF
Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF (HAUZ), seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the iSTOXX Developed and Emerging Markets ex USA PK VN Real Estate Index (the HAUZ Index). The HAUZ index is a free-float capitalization weighted index that provides exposure to publicly traded real estate securities in countries outside the United States, Pakistan, and Vietnam. For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2023, HAUZ shares returned -16.79%, compared to the HAUZ Index return of -16.97%.
The majority of the sectors contributed negatively to performance during the period with the greatest negative contribution coming from Real Estate Management & Development, Retail REITs and Office REITs. The Financial Services and Electric Utilities sectors were the positive contributors to performance. From a geographical perspective, most countries contributed negatively with Hong Kong, Germany and Japan being the most significant detractors. However, Mexico, India and Brazil contributed positively to the performance.

The Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF (the Fund), using a passive or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the iSTOXX Developed and Emerging Markets ex USA PK VN Real Estate Index (the Underlying Index). The Underlying Index is a free-float capitalization weighted index that provides exposure to publicly traded real estate securities in countries outside the United States, excluding Pakistan and Vietnam. The MSCI ACWI ex USA Index is designed to provide exposure to equity securities in developed and emerging stock markets (excluding the United States). It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

2 On February 22, 2019, the Fund changed its Underlying Index from MSCI Asia Pacific ex Japan US Dollar Hedged Index to the iSTOXX Developed and Emerging Markets ex USA PK VN Real Estate Index. Returns reflect performance for the MSCI Asia Pacific ex Japan US Dollar Hedged Index through February 21, 2019.
Prior to February 22, 2019, the Fund was known as Xtrackers MSCI Asia Pacific ex Japan Hedged Equity ETF (DBAP) and had a different investment strategy. Past performance may have been different if the Funds current investment strategy had been in effect.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.Xtrackers.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares or redemption of fund creation units. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are sold in the market or redeemed. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of the unitary advisory fee. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower. The gross expense ratio of the Fund, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated October 1, 2022, was 0.12%, and may differ from the expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights table in this report.
The Funds net asset value or NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Funds total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such funds NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the funds inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.
Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.

DBX ETF Trust
As a shareholder of the Fund, 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 unitary advisory fees and other Fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period the Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The examples in the tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (December 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023).
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.

Fair Value Measurements
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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

DBX ETF Trust
1. Organization
DBX ETF Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.
As of May 31, 2023, the Trust consists of thirty-nine investment series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF (the Fund), a diversified series of the Trust.
DBX Advisors LLC (DBX or the Advisor), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (DWS Group), serves as investment advisor to the Fund and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Funds Board of Trustees (Board).
The Fund offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (NYSE Arca). Unlike conventional mutual funds, the Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (NAV), 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. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Fund, and owners of shares may acquire those shares from the Fund or tender such shares for redemption to the Fund, in Creation Units only.
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the iSTOXX Developed and Emerging Markets ex USA PK VN Real Estate Index (the Underlying Index).
The Underlying Index is a free-float capitalization weighted index that provides exposure to publicly traded international real estate securities in countries outside the United States, excluding Pakistan and Vietnam. The iSTOXX Developed and Emerging Markets ex USA PK VN Real Estate Index is rebalanced quarterly.
The Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no charge to the Fund in connection with the licensing agreement.
Pursuant to the Trusts organizational documents, the Trusts officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. 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 Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund 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 Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.
Security Valuation The NAV of the Funds 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 Funds net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
The Funds Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisors Pricing Committee (the Pricing Committee) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.
22
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
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 Funds 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.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are 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.
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 Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Funds 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 securitys 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 companys or issuers 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 Funds NAV and the prices used by the Funds Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Funds performance and the performance of the Funds Underlying Index.
Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Funds Schedule of Investments.
Cash Cash consists of cash held at banks and is 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. Distributions received from foreign domiciled corporations, generally determined to be passive foreign investment companies for tax reporting purposes, are included in dividend income.
Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders It is the Funds policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The 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 the Fund to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, semi-annually. 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 Fund may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Fund reserve the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is
23
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
necessary or advisable to preserve the status of the 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 Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended May 31, 2023, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
As of May 31, 2023, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

At May 31, 2023, 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 for an unlimited period. To the extent that these capital loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the capital gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Foreign Taxes The Fund 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 Fund invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in their Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories, and deferred foreign taxes on unrealized gains are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of May 31, 2023, if any, are disclosed in the Funds Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Foreign Currency Translations The books and records of the Fund 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. The 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.
Securities Lending The Fund may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans, the Fund continues to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Fund requires the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Fund consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the year ended May 31, 2023, the Fund invested the cash collateral into a joint trading account in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, an affiliated money market fund managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.08% annualized effective rate as of May 31, 2023) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Fund is not able to recover securities lent, the Fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Fund is also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.
As of May 31, 2023, the Fund had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at period end.

Derivatives
Futures Contracts The 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. The Fund will
25
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. The Fund will not 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. For the year ended May 31, 2023, the Fund utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Funds Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.
At the time the Fund enters into a futures contract, the 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, the 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 days settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.
A summary of the open futures contracts as of May 31, 2023 is included in a table following the Funds Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the value of the Funds derivative instruments held as of May 31, 2023 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

Affiliated Cash Management Vehicles The Fund may invest uninvested cash balances in DWS Government Money Market Series and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund, affiliated money market funds which are managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. (DIMA), also an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA. Each affiliated money market fund is managed in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which governs the quality, maturity, diversity and liquidity of instruments in which a money market fund may invest. DWS Government Money Market Series seeks to maintain a stable NAV and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund maintains a floating NAV. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of each affiliated money market fund in which it invests. The Advisor will waive an amount of the unitary advisory fee payable to the Advisor by the Funds equal to such acquired funds fees and expenses on the Funds assets invested in the affiliated money market funds.
3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
The Advisor has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Funds Board of Trustees. Under an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, 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 Fund to operate.
For its investment advisory services to the Fund, the Advisor is entitled to receive a unitary advisory fee from the Fund based on the Funds average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to 0.12%.
The Advisor for the Fund has contractually agreed, until September 30, 2023, to waive a portion of its unitary advisory fee to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, taxes, brokerage expenses, distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.10% of the Funds average daily net assets. This agreement may only be terminated by the Funds Board (and may not be terminated by the Advisor) prior to that time. For the year ended May 31, 2023, the Advisor waived $107,496 of the expenses of the Fund.
The Advisor for the Fund has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its unitary advisory fee in an amount equal to the acquired funds fees and expenses attributable to the Funds investments in affiliated cash management vehicles. For the period from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023, the Advisor waived $501 of expenses to the Fund.
Out of the unitary advisory fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services and expenses of the Independent Trustees. The Fund is responsible for the payment of, interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, brokerage expenses, distribution fees or expenses, if any, litigation expenses and extraordinary expenses.
The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as Administrator, Custodian, Accounting Agent, Lending Agent and Transfer Agent for each Fund.
ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor) serves as the distributor of Creation Units for the Fund on an agency basis. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Fund.
The Board of Trustees is currently comprised of three Independent Trustees. The Advisor paid retainer fees and attendance fees to each Independent Trustee; retainer fees to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chairman of the Audit Committee; and attendance fees to each member of the Audit Committee (which is comprised of all of the Funds Independent Trustees).
4. Investment Portfolio Transactions

5. Fund Share Transactions
As of May 31, 2023, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statement 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 Funds 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.
6. Line of Credit
The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $105 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 Funds 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 Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus .10%. The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of 33 percent of its net assets as permitted by the 1940 Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Fund had no outstanding loans at May 31, 2023.

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF (the Fund), (one of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust (the Trust)), including the schedule of investments, as of May 31, 2023, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust) at May 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of the internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodians, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the DWS family of funds since at least 1979, but we are unable to determine the specific year.

Regulatory Update Tailored Shareholder Report
Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC amended the rules for mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) annual and semi-annual shareholder reports. The amended rules apply to mutual funds and ETFs that are registered on Form N-1A (i.e., open-end funds) and implement a new streamlined disclosure framework requiring concise and visually engaging shareholder reports highlighting key information, including a simplified expense presentation, performance information, portfolio holdings and certain fund statistics. The amended rules seek to simplify shareholder reporting by consolidating investor friendly data in one report and moving other data to Form N-CSR, creating a layered disclosure framework. Certain information from the Funds current shareholder reports, including the Funds investment portfolio, financial statements and financial highlights, will move to Form N-CSR. This information must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. Notably, the amended rules will require mutual funds and ETFs to prepare separate individual shareholder reports for each fund share class. The amendments also include a revised definition of appropriate broad-based securities market index that will affect performance presentations in the new streamlined reports and mutual fund and ETF prospectuses. The amended rules and related form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of the amended rules and form amendments on the content of the Funds current shareholder reports.

DBX ETF Trust
In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (the Liquidity Rule) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), the Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the Program), and the Board has designated DBX Advisors LLC (the Advisor) as Program administrator. The Program is designed to assess and manage your Funds liquidity risk (the risk that the Fund would be unable to meet requests to redeem shares of the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors interests in the Fund). The Advisor has designated a committee (the Committee) composed of personnel from multiple departments within an affiliate of the Advisor that is responsible for the implementation and ongoing administration of the Program, which includes assessing the Funds liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions. Under the Program, every investment held by a Fund is classified on a daily basis into one of four liquidity categories based on estimations of the investments ability to be sold during designated timeframes in current market conditions without significantly changing the investments market value.
In February 2023, as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule, the Advisor provided the Board with an annual written report (the Report) addressing the operation of the Program and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation during the period from December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022 (the Reporting Period). During the Reporting Period, your Fund was primarily invested in highly liquid investments (investments that the Fund anticipates can be converted to cash within three business days or less in current market conditions without significantly changing their market value). As a result, the Fund is not required to adopt, and has not adopted, a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum as defined in the Liquidity Rule. During the Reporting Period, your Fund did not approach the 15% limit imposed by the Liquidity Rule on holdings in illiquid investments (investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in seven days or less in current market conditions without the sale of the investment significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Fund did not experience any issues meeting investor redemptions at any time during the Reporting Period. In the Report, the Advisor stated that it believes the Program has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Funds liquidity risk during the Reporting Period. The Advisor also reported that there were no material changes made to the Program during the Reporting Period.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with DBX Advisors LLC
After discussions at the meeting of the Board of Trustees (Board or Trustees) held on February 15-16, 2023 (the Meeting), the Trustees, all of whom are the Independent Trustees (those not affiliated with DBX ETF Trust (the Trust) or its service providers), unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF (the Fund). The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and Meeting by K&L Gates LLP (Independent Trustee Counsel).
Before reaching their decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Independent Trustees evaluated the materials furnished to them in advance of the Meeting from DBX Advisors LLC (DBX or the Advisor) for purposes of reviewing the agreements terms, including statistical information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (Broadridge) regarding (a) fee and expense information for the Fund (including the fee and expense components and any amounts waived or reimbursed) as compared to a peer group of other exchange-traded funds (ETFs) selected pursuant to Broadridges proprietary methodology (each, a Peer Group) and (b) the Funds tracking error as compared to its underlying index over the previous five years (or since inception, if shorter). The Independent Trustees met with representatives of the Advisor on February 13, 2023 to review financial reports and other information provided by the Advisor and inquire further with regard to the financial information provided, and asked questions of the Advisor during this meeting. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the discussions they had with management before and during the Meeting and among themselves during their Executive Sessions held on February 15 and February 16, 2023.
The Independent Trustees also noted that they had received and should take into consideration a substantial amount of information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, which information included, among other things, an analysis of the Funds investment performance, tracking error and related financial information, presentations given by DBX, as well as its periodic reports on brokerage commissions, portfolio execution and other services provided to the Fund.
In reaching its decision to continue in effect the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund and its shareholders; (2) the financial resources of DBX and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services provided by and the profits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund; (5) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized, and if the Funds shareholders have benefitted from those economies; and (6) fall out benefits, if any, enjoyed by the Advisor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (Trust Counsel) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders as well as consistent with the Boards duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.
The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services provided and the risks incurred by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from and the discussions it had with the Advisor continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Advisor had provided in response to the Boards requests prior to the Meeting. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Fund, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Advisor, including portfolio management.
32
DBX ETF Trust
Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)
The Board considered that the Advisor provides, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Fund and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trusts service providers. The Board also considered that the Advisor pays or arranges for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Advisor or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Advisor arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Funds operations. The Board also considered that in addition to managing the Funds portfolios directly, the Advisor provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Fund.
The Board considered the information regarding the Funds tracking error compared to its underlying index that had been provided by the Advisor and by Broadridge. The Board took note of the detailed information provided by the Advisor throughout the year with respect to the Funds tracking error and the sources thereof. The Trustees noted that tracking error for the Fund during the year was in an expected range.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to the Advisor, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of the unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds service providers. The Board considered the staffing of the Advisor, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Fund. The Board also considered the expertise of the Advisor in supervising third party service providers to the Fund, such as the administrator and the custodian, noting the Advisors extensive work with these service providers (including onsite due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision. The Board further considered the compliance program of the Advisor, which supports the Funds compliance program.
Advisors Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Advisor to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Advisors financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Advisor has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared the Funds advisory fee and total expenses to those of the other ETFs in its Peer Group. The Board noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there were limitations faced by Broadridge in providing comparable funds in the Peer Groups and the information in the Broadridge reports accordingly may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Fund. The Board also noted that the advisory fees and total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements) for the Fund were below or equal to the average and/or median of the ETFs in the Funds respective Peer Group compiled by Broadridge.
The Board accordingly noted that the Funds fee is competitive with the fees of applicable peer ETFs.
The Board considered that the fee for the Fund is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Advisor pays all of the Funds costs (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board considered that the Funds fee had been priced to scale when it was established. The Board also considered that the Funds portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Advisor and that the Advisor also provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Fund. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for the Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the expenses of the Advisor in developing and rendering services provided to the Fund and the information provided by the Advisor to the Board regarding the Funds profitability. The Board considered that the Advisor had provided extensive information about the Advisors profitability and the Advisors methodology in determining profitability. While the Advisor had provided information about the Advisors expenses relating to marketing the Fund, the Board considered the Advisors profitability without accounting for such expenses, which reflected that the Fund was not profitable as of this
33
DBX ETF Trust
Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)
time. The Board considered whether the Advisor would benefit in other ways from its relationships with the Fund and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Advisor related to the operation of the Fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered that the Fund had attracted a substantial amount of assets, but determined that the Fund was not experiencing economies of scale beyond what was reflected in the Funds unitary fee, which the Board noted was very competitive. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisers can share benefits of economies of scale.
Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

This report is intended for the shareholders of DBX ETF Trust.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. 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. There are special risks associated with an investment in real estate, including REITS. These risks include credit risk, interest rate fluctuations and the impact of varied economic conditions. Investing in foreign securities, particularly those of emerging markets, present certain risks such as currency fluctuations, political and economical changes, and market risks. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Performance of a Fund may diverge from that of an Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in any Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.
War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises, natural disasters, climate change and related geopolitical events have led and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Fund and its investments.
Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the NYSE Arca, Inc. 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.

To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)
Dear shareholder,
We are pleased to provide this annual report on four of our flagship ETFs tracking Chinas equity market for the period ended May 31, 2023.
The global economy witnessed a period of volatility due to heightened inflation, growing interest rates and sluggish industrial activity amid geopolitical tension between Russia and Ukraine. Rising inflation in both developed and emerging economies affected the cost of living as disposable incomes were eroded, resulting in aggressive interest rate hikes by major central banks, except for the Bank of Japan. Global financial markets remained largely volatile with short periods of gains and losses as investors remained uncertain about interest rate actions but acted on positive economic data. Despite the challenges in the banking sectors of the U.S. and Europe during the first quarter of 2023, market sentiment turned positive on the back of Chinas reopening after its COVID-19-related restrictions.
Chinas economy recovered at a faster-than-expected pace, with GDP1 increasing by 4.5% year on year in Q1 2023, marking the most growth since Q1 2022. Chinese markets had robust gains from the start of Q4 2022, after Beijing loosened the pandemic-related restrictions that had constrained the countrys economic growth since early 2020. Investor confidence was also boosted by measures supportive of the real estate sector and a relaxation of the regulatory restrictions on Chinese technology companies. Market optimism regarding Chinas economic recovery was sparked by the countrys stronger-than-expected first-quarter GDP growth and unexpected double-digit export and retail growth in March 2023. Chinas urban unemployment rate eased to 5.2% in May 2023 from 5.9% in the same period last year.
On the policy front, the Peoples Bank of China (PBoC) maintained its key lending rates steady for the ninth straight month in May 2023. The one-year loan prime rate (the medium-term lending facility for corporate and household loans) was maintained at 3.65%; meanwhile, the five-year rate, which serves as a benchmark for mortgages, was maintained at 4.3%. Chinas General Composite PMI2 rose as a result of faster growth in output in both the manufacturing and service sectors.
We believe central banks across the world will remain cautious in their approach to monetary policy and watch for positive signs in the economy before taking any interest rate action. Recent banking system stress and debt ceiling-related concerns are also likely to weigh on the U.S. Federal Reserves (Feds) decisions in the coming months. Unlike the Fed, the European Central Bank has clearly maintained its stance on monetary action and is willing to hike rates further until inflation is within its comfort range. The entire world will be keenly watching how China recovers from its COVID-19-induced restrictions to induce an uptick in industrial activity and income recovery while boosting private sector investment.
Our team appreciates your trust and looks forward to serving your investment needs through innovative index-driven strategies.
Sincerely,
/s/ Freddi Klassen

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.Xtrackers.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares or redemption of fund creation units. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are sold in the market or redeemed. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of the unitary advisory fee. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower. The gross expense ratio of the Fund, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated October 1, 2022 was 0.65%, and may differ from the expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights table in this report.
The Funds net asset value or NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Funds total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such funds NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the funds inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.
Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.

1 Total returns are calculated based on the commencement of operations, October 20, 2015 (Inception).
2 On June 4, 2018, the Fund changed its Underlying Index from CSI 300 USD Hedged Index to the Underlying Index. Returns reflect performance for the CSI 300 USD Hedged Index prior to June 4, 2018. Past performance may have been different if the Funds current investment strategy had been in effect.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.Xtrackers.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares or redemption of fund creation units. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are sold in the market or redeemed. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of the unitary advisory fee. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower. The gross expense ratio of the Fund, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated October 1, 2022, was 0.60%, and may differ from the expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights table in this report. This expense ratio includes net expenses of the affiliated funds in which ASHX invests.
The Funds net asset value or NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Funds total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such funds NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the funds inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.
Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.

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 unitary advisory fees and other fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. In addition to the ongoing expenses which each Fund bears directly, the Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF shareholders indirectly bear the expenses of Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF and Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF (the Underlying Funds) in which the Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF invests. The Underlying Funds expenses are not included in Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETFs annualized expense ratios used to calculate the expense estimate in the tables. 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 in the tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (December 1, 2022 to, May 31, 2023).
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 equal to each Funds annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182 (the number of days in the most recent six-month period), then divided by 365.
(2) The Fund invests in other ETFs and indirectly bears its proportionate share of fees and expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds in which the Fund is invested. This ratio does not include these indirect fees and expenses.

Fair Value Measurements
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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements
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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

DBX ETF Trust
1. Organization
DBX ETF Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.
As of May 31, 2023, the Trust consists of thirty-nine investment series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (each a Fund and collectively, the Funds) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:
Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF |
Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF |
Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF |
Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF |
DBX Advisors LLC (DBX or the Advisor), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (DWS Group), 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 (Board).
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 (NAV), 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. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds, and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Funds, or tender such shares for redemption to the Funds, in Creation Units only.
The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the Underlying Index). The underlying indices for the Funds are:
Fund |
Underlying Index | |
Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF | CSI 300 Index | |
Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF | CSI 500 Index | |
Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF | MSCI China All Shares Index | |
Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF | MSCI China A Inclusion Index |
CSI 300 Index is calculated and maintained by China Securities Index Co., Ltd. It 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. Constituent stocks for the Underlying Index generally must have been listed on either the Shanghai Stock Exchange or the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for specified time periods, have demonstrated positive performance, and not be subject to abnormal volatility or other evidence of possible market manipulation, among other factors. The composition of the Underlying Index is reviewed every six-months.
CSI 500 Index is calculated and maintained by China Securities Index Co., Ltd. is designed to reflect the price fluctuation and performance of small-cap companies in the China A-Share market and is composed of the 500 smallest and most liquid stocks in the China A-Share market. Constituent stocks for the Underlying Index generally must have been listed on either the Shanghai Stock Exchange or the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for specified time periods, have demonstrated positive performance, and not be subject to abnormal volatility or other evidence of possible market manipulation, among other factors. The composition of the Underlying Index is reviewed every six-months.
MSCI China All Shares Index and MSCI China A Inclusion Equity Index are each calculated and maintained by MSCI, Inc. (MSCI). The MSCI China All Share Index is designed to capture large- and mid-capitalization representation across all China securities listed in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Shenzhen. The Underlying Index is intended to give investors a means of tracking the overall performance of equity securities that are a representative sample of the entire Chinese investment universe. The Underlying Index is comprised of A-Shares, H-Shares, B-Shares, Red chips and P chips share classes as well as securities of Chinese companies listed outside of China (e.g. American depository receipts). The Underlying Index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis.
48
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
The MSCI China A Inclusion Index is designed to track the equity market performance of China A-Shares that are accessible through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program or the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program (together Stock Connect). A-Shares are equity securities issued by companies incorporated in mainland China and are denominated in renminbi. Certain eligible A-Shares are traded on the Shanghai or Shenzhen Stock Exchanges. The Underlying Index is designed to track the inclusion of A-Shares in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index over time and is constructed by MSCI by applying eligibility criteria for the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes, and then excluding mid- and small-capitalization A-Shares (as determined by MSCI), A-Shares suspended for trading for more than 50 days in the past 12 months and A-Shares that are not accessible through Stock Connect. The Underlying Index is weighted by each issuers free float-adjusted market capitalization (i.e., includes only shares that are readily available for trading in the market) available to foreign investors and includes only large-capitalization companies, as determined by MSCI. The Underlying Index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis.
Each Fund is entitled to use its respective Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.
Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust. In addition, each Fund, with the exception of Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF, may change its diversification status over time and then change it back again, without shareholder approval, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index each Fund tracks.
Pursuant to the Trusts organizational documents, the Trusts 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 Trusts 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. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Security Valuation The NAV of each Funds 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 Funds net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
The Funds Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisors Pricing Committee (the Pricing Committee) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.
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 Funds 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.
49
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are categorized as a 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.
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 Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Funds 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 securitys 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 companys or issuers 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 Funds NAV and the prices used by the Funds Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Funds performance and the performance of the Funds Underlying Index.
Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Funds Schedule of Investments.
Cash Cash consists of cash held at banks and is 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. Distributions of income and capital gains from investments in affiliated funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions received from foreign domiciled corporations, generally determined to be passive foreign investment companies for tax reporting purposes, are included in dividend income.
Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders It is each Funds 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. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
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 Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended May 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
As of May 31, 2023, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

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, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories, and deferred foreign taxes on unrealized gains are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of May 31, 2023, if any, are disclosed in the Funds Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Funds direct investments in China A-Shares 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 direct investments in A-Shares include withholding income tax (WHT) on dividends, WHT on bank deposit interest, WHT on capital gains realized from the disposal of equity investments prior to November 17, 2014 and stamp duty. China imposes WHT at a rate of 10% on dividends on shares and interest income derived by non Peoples Republic of China (PRC) enterprises including Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFII) and Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (RQFII) from PRC resident issuers, subject to any lower rate provided by an applicable tax treaty.
Since November 17, 2014, QFIIs and RQFIIs have been temporarily exempt from WHT with respect to gains derived from the trading of equity investments (including shares in PRC enterprises). With respect to gains derived from equity investments prior to November 17, 2014, QFIIs and 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 QFIIs and 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 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 as long as treaty relief is eligible. Land-rich enterprises refer to companies whose value of immovable property in the PRC is greater than 50% of the value of their total assets at any time during the three-year period before the alienation of the PRC companies shares. The WHT relating to the realized gains from shares in land-rich companies prior to November 17, 2014 has been paid by the Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF and Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF while realized gains from shares in non land-rich companies prior to November 17, 2014 were granted treaty relief pursuant to the PRC-US Double Taxation Arrangement.

DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
The PRC rules for taxation of QFIIs and RQFIIs are evolving and the tax regulations to be issued by the PRC State Taxation Administration and/or PRC Ministry of Finance, as well as the practices adopted by the local PRC authorities, may apply retroactively which may adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders.
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. The 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.
Securities Lending The Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of their securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans, the Funds continue to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the year ended May 31, 2023, the Funds invested the cash collateral into a joint trading account in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, an affiliated money market fund managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.08% annualized effective rate as of May 31, 2023) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Funds are not able to recover securities lent, the Funds may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Funds are also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.
As of May 31, 2023, the Funds listed below had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at year end.

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.

utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Funds Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.
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 days settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.
A summary of the open futures contracts as of May 31, 2023 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 May 31, 2023 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

6. Concentration of Ownership
From time to time, Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF may have a concentration of several shareholders, including affiliated funds, holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund. As of May 31, 2023, Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF held 61% of the total shares outstanding of the Fund.
7. Investing in China
Investing in securities of Chinese issuers involves certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including, among others; more frequent (and potentially widespread) trading suspensions and government interventions with respect to Chinese issuers, resulting in lack of liquidity and in price volatility; currency revaluations and other currency exchange rate fluctuations or blockage; the nature and extent of intervention by the Chinese government in the Chinese securities markets (including both direct and indirect market stabilization efforts, which may affect valuations of Chinese issuers), whether such intervention will continue and the impact of such intervention or its discontinuation; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; the risk that the Chinese government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs; limitations on the use of brokers (or action by the Chinese government that discourages brokers from serving international clients); higher rates of inflation; greater political, economic and social uncertainty; higher market volatility caused by any potential regional territorial conflicts or natural disasters; the risk of increased trade tariffs, embargoes and other trade limitations; restrictions on foreign ownership which require US investors to invest in offshore special purpose companies to obtain indirect exposure to Chinese issuers; custody risks associated with investing through Stock Connect, an RQFII or other programs to access the Chinese securities markets, both interim and permanent market regulations which may affect the ability of certain stockholders to sell Chinese securities when it would otherwise be advisable; different and less stringent financial reporting standards; and increased political pressure from the US and other countries to restrict the ability of investors outside China to invest in Chinese issuers. In addition, in June 2021, the President of the United States issued an executive order (CMIC Order) prohibiting US persons, including the Funds, from purchasing or selling publicly traded securities (including publicly traded securities that are derivative of, or designed to provide exposure to, such securities) of any Chinese company identified as a Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Company
(CMIC). This prohibition, effective August 2, 2021, expands on similar sanctions imposed by the prior administration on certain designated Chinese military companies (CCMCs) that took effect in January 2021. To the extent that any company in an Underlying Index is identified as a CMIC at any time (or was previously designed as a CCMC), it may have material adverse effect on a funds ability to track its Underlying Index.
8. Line of Credit
The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF, Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF, Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $105 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 Funds 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 Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus .10%. Each Fund may borrow up to the lesser of 33 percent of its net assets as permitted by the 1940 Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Funds had no outstanding loans at May 31, 2023.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF, Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF (collectively referred to as the Funds), (four of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust (the Trust)), including the schedules of investments, as of May 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations for the year ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds (four of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust) at May 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of the internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodians, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the DWS family of funds since at least 1979, but we are unable to determine the specific year.

Regulatory Update Tailored Shareholder Report
Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC amended the rules for mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) annual and semi-annual shareholder reports. The amended rules apply to mutual funds and ETFs that are registered on Form N-1A (i.e., open-end funds) and implement a new streamlined disclosure framework requiring concise and visually engaging shareholder reports highlighting key information, including a simplified expense presentation, performance information, portfolio holdings and certain fund statistics. The amended rules seek to simplify shareholder reporting by consolidating investor friendly data in one report and moving other data to Form N-CSR, creating a layered disclosure framework. Certain information from the Funds current shareholder reports, including the Funds investment portfolio, financial statements and financial highlights, will move to Form N-CSR. This information must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. Notably, the amended rules will require mutual funds and ETFs to prepare separate individual shareholder reports for each fund share class. The amendments also include a revised definition of appropriate broad-based securities market index that will affect performance presentations in the new streamlined reports and mutual fund and ETF prospectuses. The amended rules and related form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of the amended rules and form amendments on the content of the Funds current shareholder reports.

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (the Liquidity Rule) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), your Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the Program), and the Board has designated DBX Advisors LLC (the Advisor) as Program administrator. The Program is designed to assess and manage your Funds liquidity risk (the risk that the Fund would be unable to meet requests to redeem shares of the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors interests in the Fund). The Advisor has designated a committee (the Committee) composed of personnel from multiple departments within an affiliate of the Advisor that is responsible for the implementation and ongoing administration of the Program, which includes assessing the Funds liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions. Under the Program, every investment held by a Fund is classified on a daily basis into one of four liquidity categories based on estimations of the investments ability to be sold during designated timeframes in current market conditions without significantly changing the investments market value.
Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF
In February 2023, as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule, the Advisor provided the Board with an annual written report (the Report) addressing the operation of the Program and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation during the period from December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022 (the Reporting Period). During the Reporting Period, your Fund was primarily invested in highly liquid investments (investments that the Fund anticipates can be converted to cash within three business days or less in current market conditions without significantly changing their market value). As a result, your Fund is not required to adopt, and has not adopted, a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum as defined in the Liquidity Rule. During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not approach the 15% limit imposed by the Liquidity Rule on holdings in illiquid investments (investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in seven days or less in current market conditions without the sale of the investment significantly changing the market value of the investment). Your Fund did not experience any issues meeting investor redemptions at any time during the Reporting Period. In the Report, the Advisor stated that it believes the Program has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Funds liquidity risk during the Reporting Period. The Advisor also reported that there were no material changes made to the Program during the Reporting Period.

In February 2023, as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule, the Advisor provided the Board with an annual written report (the Report) addressing the operation of the Program and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation during the period from December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022 (the Reporting Period). During the Reporting Period, your Fund was primarily invested in highly liquid investments (investments that the Fund anticipates can be converted to cash within three business days or less in current market conditions without significantly changing their market value). As a result, your Fund is not required to adopt, and has not adopted, a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum as defined in the Liquidity Rule. During the Reporting Period, on two occasions your Fund did experience a temporary breach of the 15% limit imposed by the Liquidity Rule on holdings in illiquid investments (investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in seven days or less in current market conditions without the sale of the investment significantly changing the market value of the investment). The breaches were caused by the temporary reclassification of Chinese securities as illiquid due to an extended Chinese and Taiwan holiday market closure in January/February 2022 and a separate extended Chinese holiday market closure in October 2022. Because notifications to the Funds board of the anticipated extended holiday closures were made before the start of each holiday closure no filing on Form N-LIQUID was required. Also, because the holiday closures were anticipated in advance, no actions were needed to rebalance the Funds portfolio. Your Fund did not experience any issues meeting investor redemptions at any time during the Reporting Period. In the Report, the Advisor stated that it believes the Program has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Funds liquidity risk during the Reporting Period. The Advisor also reported that there were no material changes made to the Program during the Reporting Period.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with DBX Advisors LLC
After discussions at the meeting of the Board of Trustees (Board or Trustees) held on February 15-16, 2023 (the Meeting), the Trustees, all of whom are the Independent Trustees (those not affiliated with DBX ETF Trust (the Trust) or its service providers), unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF (each a Fund, and collectively, the Funds). The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and Meeting by K&L Gates LLP (Independent Trustee Counsel).
Before reaching their decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Independent Trustees evaluated the materials furnished to them in advance of the Meeting from DBX Advisors LLC (DBX or the Advisor) for purposes of reviewing the agreements terms, including statistical information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (Broadridge) regarding (a) fee and expense information for each Fund (including the fee and expense components and any amounts waived or reimbursed) as compared to a peer group of other exchange-traded funds (ETFs) selected pursuant to Broadridges proprietary methodology (each, a Peer Group) and (b) each Funds tracking error as compared to its underlying index over the previous five years (or since inception, if shorter). The Independent Trustees met with representatives of the Advisor on February 13, 2023 to review financial reports and other information provided by the Advisor and inquire further with regard to the financial information provided, and asked questions of the Advisor during this meeting. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the discussions they had with management before and during the Meeting and among themselves during their Executive Sessions held on February 15 and February 16, 2023.
The Independent Trustees also noted that they had received and should take into consideration a substantial amount of information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, which information included, among other things, an analysis of each Funds investment performance, tracking error and related financial information, presentations given by DBX, as well as its periodic reports on brokerage commissions, portfolio execution and other services provided to the Funds.
In reaching its decision to continue in effect the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders; (2) the financial resources of DBX and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services provided by and the profits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds; (5) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized, and if the Funds shareholders have benefitted from those economies; and (6) fall out benefits, if any, enjoyed by the Advisor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (Trust Counsel) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders as well as consistent with the Boards duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.
The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services provided and the risks incurred by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from and the discussions it had with the Advisor continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Advisor had provided in response to the Boards requests prior to the Meeting. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Funds, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Advisor, including portfolio management.
61
DBX ETF Trust
Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)
The Board considered that the Advisor provides, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Funds and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trusts service providers. The Board also considered that the Advisor pays or arranges for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Advisor or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Advisor arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Funds operations. The Board also considered that in addition to managing the Funds portfolios directly, the Advisor provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds.
The Board considered the information regarding each Funds tracking error compared to its underlying index that had been provided by the Advisor and by Broadridge. The Board took note of the detailed information provided by the Advisor throughout the year with respect to each Funds tracking error and the sources thereof. The Trustees noted that tracking error for each Fund during the year was in an expected range.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to the Advisor, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of the unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds service providers. The Board considered the staffing of the Advisor, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Funds. The Board also considered the expertise of the Advisor in supervising third party service providers to the Funds, such as the administrator and the custodian, noting the Advisors extensive work with these service providers (including onsite due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision. The Board further considered the compliance program of the Advisor, which supports the Funds compliance program.
Advisors Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Advisor to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Advisors financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Advisor has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared each Funds advisory fee and total expenses to those of the other ETFs in its Peer Group. The Board noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there were limitations faced by Broadridge in providing comparable funds in the Peer Groups and the information in the Broadridge reports accordingly may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board also noted that the advisory fees and total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements) for the Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF were below or equal to the average and/or median of the ETFs in the Funds Peer Group compiled by Broadridge, but Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF had advisory fees and/or total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements) that were above the average and/or median of the Funds Peer Group.
The Board accordingly noted that each Funds fee is competitive with the fees of applicable peer ETFs. The Board considered that the fee for each of the Funds is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Advisor pays all of the Funds costs (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board considered that each Funds fee had been priced to scale when it was established. The Board also considered that each Funds portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Advisor and that the Advisor also provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for each Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the expenses of the Advisor in developing and rendering services provided to the Funds and the information provided by the Advisor to the Board regarding the Funds profitability. The Board considered that the Advisor had provided extensive information about the Advisors profitability and the Advisors methodology in determining profitability. While the Advisor had provided information about the Advisors expenses relating to marketing the Funds, the Board considered the Advisors profitability without accounting for such expenses. The Board determined that, although only some of the Funds
62
DBX ETF Trust
Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)
were profitable as of this time, the Advisors profitability with respect to each profitable Fund was not excessive. The Board considered whether the Advisor would benefit in other ways from its relationships with the Funds and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Advisor related to the operation of the Funds.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered that certain Funds had attracted a substantial amount of assets, but determined that those Funds were not experiencing economies of scale beyond what was reflected in each Funds unitary fee, which the Board noted was very competitive. The Board considered that the other Funds were not experiencing economies of scale at this time and determined to revisit this matter after the Funds had attracted more assets. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisers can share benefits of economies of scale.
Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

The Independent Trustees also noted that they had received and should take into consideration a substantial amount of information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, which information included, among other things, an analysis of each Funds investment performance and related financial information, presentations given by DBX and Harvest, as well as periodic reports on brokerage commissions, portfolio execution and other services provided to the Funds.
In reaching its decision with respect to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders; (2) the financial resources of DBX and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services provided by and the profits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds; (5) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized, and if the Funds shareholders have benefitted from those economies; and (6) fall out benefits, if any, enjoyed by the Advisor.
In reaching its decision with respect to the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders; (2) the performance of Harvest with respect to its management of the Funds, as well as Harvests financial resources and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement; (3) the total cost of the services provided by Harvest from its relationship with the Funds; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized, and if the Funds shareholders have benefitted from those economies; and (5) fall out benefits, if any, enjoyed by the Sub-Advisor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (Trust Counsel) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory

Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders as well as consistent with the Boards duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.
The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services provided and the risks incurred by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from and the discussions it had with the Advisor continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Advisor had provided in response to the Boards requests prior to the Meeting. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Funds, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Advisor, including portfolio management.
The Board considered that the Advisor provides, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Funds and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trusts service providers. The Board also considered that the Advisor pays or arranges for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Advisor or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. The Board also considered that the Advisor arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Funds operation. The Board also considered the role played by the Advisor in working with Harvest to manage the Funds portfolios, noting that the Advisor provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds. The Board considered the information regarding each Funds tracking error compared to its underlying index that had been provided by the Advisor and by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (Broadridge). The Board took note of the detailed information provided by the Advisor throughout the year with respect to each Funds tracking error and the sources thereof. The Trustees noted that tracking error for each Fund during the year was in an expected range.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to the Advisor, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of the unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds service providers. The Board considered the staffing of the Advisor, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Funds. The Board also considered the expertise of the Advisor in supervising third party service providers to the Funds, such as the administrator and the custodian, noting the Advisors extensive work with these service providers (including onsite due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision. The Board further considered the compliance program of the Advisor, which supports the Funds compliance program.
Advisors Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Advisor to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Advisors financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Advisor has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared each Funds advisory fee and total expenses to those of the other ETFs in its Peer Group. The Board noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there were limitations faced by Broadridge in providing comparable funds in the Peer Groups and the information in the Broadridge reports accordingly may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board considered that while each Funds advisory fees and total expenses after waivers/reimbursements were above the average and median of those Funds respective Peer Groups, many of those other ETFs in the Funds respective Peer Groups only invested directly in A-Shares through the Stock Connect programs, rather than also utilizing the Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (RQFII) program, as the Funds did using the quota

Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)
allocated to the Sub-Advisor. The Board also noted that the Chinese authorities had abolished the quotas under the RQFII system, but that it remained in the Funds best interests to continue utilizing Harvest as the Funds sub-advisor and that Harvests local market capabilities provided the Funds with the widest feasible range of means to access A-shares.
The Board considered that the fee for the Funds is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Advisor pays all of the Funds costs (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board considered that each Funds fee had been priced to scale when it was established. The Board also considered that the Funds portfolios are managed on a day-to-day basis by the Sub-Advisor, which receives a fee from the Advisor. The Board considered the allocation of responsibilities between the Advisor and Sub-Advisor and noted that the Advisor provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee is reasonable in light of the services provided.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the expenses of the Advisor in developing and rendering services to the Funds and the information provided by the Advisor to the Board regarding the Funds profitability. The Board considered that the Advisor had provided extensive information about the Advisors profitability and the Advisors methodology in determining profitability. While the Advisor had provided information about the Advisors expenses relating to marketing the Funds, the Board considered the Advisors profitability without accounting for such expenses. The Board determined that only Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF was profitable as of this time and the Advisors profitability with respect to the Fund was not excessive. The Board also noted that since the fee paid by the Advisor to the Sub-Advisor under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement contained breakpoints, the Advisor could experience increased profitability as the Funds assets increased. The Board considered whether the Advisor would benefit in other ways from its relationships with the Funds and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Advisor related to the operation of the Funds.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered that Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF had attracted a substantial amount of assets), but determined that the Fund was not experiencing economies of scale beyond what was reflected in the Funds unitary fee, which the Board noted was very competitive. The Board considered that Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF was not experiencing economies of scale at this time and determined to evaluate the economies of scale on an ongoing basis as a result of asset growth of the Funds. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisers can share benefits of economies of scale.
Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.
The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the nature, extent and quality of services that Harvest provides to the Funds, the Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Harvest under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from the Sub-Advisor continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Sub-Advisor had provided in response to the Boards requests prior to the Meeting. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Funds, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities.
The Board also considered Harvests operational capabilities and resources, and its experience in serving as investment sub-advisor to the Funds. The Board considered the professional experience, qualifications and performance of Harvests senior management and key professional personnel, as well as Harvests depth and breadth of experience in managing investment portfolios consisting of China A-Shares, and their techniques for implementing such strategies while minimizing index tracking error. The Board also noted that the Chinese

authorities had abolished the quotas under the RQFII system, but that it remained in the Funds best interests to continue utilizing Harvest as the Funds sub-advisor and that Harvests local market capabilities provided the Funds with the widest feasible range of means to access A-shares. In addition, the Board considered Harvests operational capabilities and resources, and Harvests experience in managing index funds covering various asset classes. The Board also noted Harvests processes to minimize the cost of trading.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by Harvest under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to Harvest, taking special consideration of the fact that the fees paid to Harvest are payable by the Advisor and not the Funds.
Performance of Harvest; Harvests Financial Resources. The Board considered Harvests performance in managing the Funds and its ability to minimize tracking error, taking note of the detailed information provided by the Advisor throughout the year with respect to each Funds tracking error and the sources thereof. The Board concluded that, given Harvests capabilities and experience in managing the Funds, Harvest had generally been able to keep the Funds tracking error within acceptable ranges.
The Board also considered Harvests financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that Harvest has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Reasonableness of Sub-Advisory Fee. The Board considered that the fee paid to Harvest in respect of the Funds would be paid by the Advisor and not the Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fees agreed upon with Harvest are reasonable in light of the nature and quality of investment advisory services rendered for each Fund. The Board reached its conclusion based in part on the aggregate fees paid by the Funds, the fact that the sub-advisory fee is paid by the Advisor and not the Funds, and fees paid by comparable funds to advisors.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered that the fees paid by the Advisor to Harvest under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement contain breakpoints. The Board further considered that specific information about Harvests profitability with respect to its services provided to the Funds was not available because Harvest receives a fixed fee which is computed as a percentage of each Funds advisory fees and does not calculate the profitability of its sub-advisory services on a per-Fund level. The Board also considered that the overall fees paid by each Fund remained reasonable.
The Board also considered whether Harvest would benefit in other ways from its relationship with the Funds. The Board discussed Harvests practices regarding the selection and compensation of brokers and dealers that execute portfolio transactions for the Funds and the brokers and dealers provision of brokerage services to Harvest.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered that Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF had attracted a substantial amount of assets, but determined that the Fund was not experiencing economies of scale beyond what was reflected in the Funds unitary fee, which the Board noted was very competitive. The Board considered that Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF was not experiencing economies of scale at this time and determined to evaluate the economies of scale on an ongoing basis as a result of asset growth of the Funds. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisers can share benefits of economies of scale.
Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. 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. 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 Funds 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 Funds to achieve its investment objective. Performance of the Funds 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 these Funds should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Funds. Please read the prospectus for more information.
The U.S. government has imposed restrictions on the ability of U.S. investors to hold and/or acquire securities of certain Chinese companies. To the extent that an Underlying Index includes such a security and the Fund excludes it, the Funds tracking error may increase and the performance of the Fund and Underlying Index may diverge.
War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises, natural disasters, climate change and related geopolitical events have led and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Funds and their investments.
Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the NYSE Arca, Inc. 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.

To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)
Dear shareholder,
We are pleased to provide this annual report on our six currency hedged equity ETFs for the period ended May 31, 2023.
The global economy witnessed a period of volatility due to heightened inflation, growing interest rates and sluggish industrial activity amid geopolitical tension between Russia and Ukraine. Rising inflation in both developed and emerging economies affected the cost of living as disposable incomes were eroded, resulting in aggressive interest rate hikes by major central banks, except for the Bank of Japan. Global financial markets remained largely volatile with short periods of gains and losses as investors remained uncertain about interest rate actions but acted on positive economic data. Despite the challenges in the banking sectors of the U.S. and Europe during the first quarter of 2023, market sentiment turned positive on the back of Chinas reopening after its COVID-19-related restrictions. However, concerns around the U.S. defaulting on its debt and negotiations to increase the debt ceiling dominated the headlines, sending jitters among investors.
U.S. GDP1 grew at a weaker rate in 2022 than in 2021, but second half of 2022 saw green shoots emerge, followed by a slowdown in the first quarter of 2023. Inflation peaked in June 2022, before cooling down in the second half of the year as energy prices softened and retreated further in the early part of 2023. However, core CPI2 remained elevated due to critical components, such as electricity and housing costs, witnessing a significant increase, consequently weighing on the U.S. Federal Reserves (Feds) decision on interest rate hikes. The labor market remained moderately resilient as the unemployment rate stayed stable during the period amid slowing wage growth.
The Eurozones economy started slowing from mid-2022; inflation peaked in October and continued to surpass the rate of wage growth, weighing on consumption demand. Like other central banks, the European Central Bank (ECB) resorted to interest rate hikes to combat this, which took a toll on the economy, with GDP contracting each quarter. Despite major indicators pointing toward a hard recession in 2023, a heavily energy-reliant economy witnessed a surprising first-quarter expansion as energy prices retreated and budgetary support measures helped soften the blow. One key positive for the economy was the tight labor market, with the employment rate rising despite sluggish growth and a downturn in global business activity in the last quarter of 2022.
Emerging economies were weighed down by a multitude of factors including high inflation alongside slowing growth, a hawkish Fed, a strong dollar performance, and heavyweight China facing a slowdown. The monetary tightening cycle of most developing markets that started last year seemed to be drawing to a close as focus shifted from fighting inflation to improving growth rates and boosting demand. Some countries, such as India, paused their rate hikes as manufacturing indicators turned positive and softer indicators such as business and consumer sentiment started to improve.
We believe central banks across the world will likely remain cautious in their approach to monetary policy and watch for positive signs in the economy before taking any interest rate action. Recent banking system stress and debt ceiling-related concerns are also likely to weigh on the Feds decisions in the coming months. Unlike the Fed, the ECB has clearly maintained its stance on monetary action and is willing to hike rates further until inflation is within its comfort range. The entire world, in our view, will be keenly watching how China recovers from its COVID-19-induced restrictions to induce an uptick in industrial activity and income recovery while boosting private sector investment.
Our team appreciates your trust and looks forward to serving your investment needs through innovative index-driven strategies
Sincerely,
/s/ Freddi Klassen

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.Xtrackers.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares or redemption of fund creation units. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are sold in the market or redeemed. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of the unitary advisory fee. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower. The gross expense ratio of the Fund, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated October 1, 2022, was 0.40%, and may differ from the expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights table in this report.
The Funds net asset value or NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Funds total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such funds NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the funds inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.
Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.Xtrackers.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares or redemption of fund creation units. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are sold in the market or redeemed. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of the unitary advisory fee. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower. The gross expense ratio of the Fund, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated October 1, 2022 was 0.45%, and may differ from the expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights table in this report.
The Funds net asset value or NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Funds total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such funds NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the funds inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.
Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.

DBX ETF Trust
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 unitary advisory fees and other Fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period the Funds limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. 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 in the tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (December 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023).
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.

Fair Value Measurements
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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements
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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements
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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds 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.

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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

DBX ETF Trust
1. Organization
DBX ETF Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.
As of May 31, 2023, the Trust consists of thirty-nine investment series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (each a Fund and collectively, the Funds) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:
Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF | ||
Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF | ||
Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF | ||
Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF | ||
Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF | ||
Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF |
DBX Advisors LLC (DBX or the Advisor), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (DWS Group), 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 (Board).
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 (NAV), 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. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds, and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Funds, or tender such shares for redemption to the Funds, in Creation Units only.
The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the Underlying Index). The underlying indices for the Funds are:
Fund |
Underlying Index | |
Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF | MSCI ACWI ex USA US Dollar Hedged Index | |
Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF | MSCI EM US Dollar Hedged Index | |
Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF | MSCI Europe US Dollar Hedged Index | |
Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF | MSCI EMU IMI US Dollar Hedged Index | |
Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF | MSCI Germany US Dollar Hedged Index | |
Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF | MSCI Japan US Dollar Hedged Index |
The MSCI ACWI ex USA US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track the performance of equity securities in developed and emerging stock markets (excluding the United States), while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries included in the Underlying Index.
The MSCI EM US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track emerging market performance while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries included in the Underlying Index.
The MSCI Europe US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track the performance of the developed markets in Europe, while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries included in the Underlying Index.
The MSCI EMU IMI US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track the performance of equity securities based in the countries in the European Monetary Union (the EMU), while seeking to mitigate exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the euro.
The MSCI Germany US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track the performance of the German equity market while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the euro.
The MSCI Japan US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track the performance of the Japanese equity market while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen.
104
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
The MSCI Hedged Underlying 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 months index calculation. The currency weights are determined as of the close of two business days before the first calendar day of the following month and remain constant intra month. This means 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 the Index Provider and DBX. There is no charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.
Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF are diversified series of the Trust. Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF is non-diversified and is not limited by the 1940 Act with regard to the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. This means the securities of a particular issuer (or securities of issuers in particular industries) may dominate the Underlying Index of the Fund and, consequently, the Funds investment portfolio. This may adversely affect the Funds performance or subject the Funds shares to greater price volatility than that experienced by more diversified investment companies. In addition, each Fund may change its diversification status over time and then change it back again, without shareholder approval, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index each Fund tracks.
Pursuant to the Trusts organizational documents, the Trusts 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 Trusts 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. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Security Valuation The NAV of each Funds 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 Funds net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
The Funds Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisors Pricing Committee (the Pricing Committee) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.
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 Funds 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
105
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
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.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day 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.
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.
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 Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Funds 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 securitys 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 companys or issuers 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 Funds NAV and the prices used by the Funds Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Funds performance and the performance of the Funds Underlying Index.
Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Funds Schedule of Investments.
Cash Cash consists of cash held at banks and is 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 Funds 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. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
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 Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended May 31, 2023, 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, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories, and deferred foreign taxes on unrealized gains are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of May 31, 2023, if any, are disclosed in the Funds Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF has filed for additional reclaims (EU reclaims) related to prior years. A corresponding receivable is established when both the amount is known and significant contingencies or uncertainties regarding collectability are removed. These amounts, if any, are reported in dividends and interest receivable in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended May 31, 2023, the Fund received reclaims and interest related to EU reclaims, which is reported in unaffiliated dividend income and other income in the Statement of Operations. Expenses incurred related to filing EU reclaims are recorded in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. For U.S. income tax purposes, EU tax reclaims received by the Fund, if any, reduce the amount of foreign taxes Fund shareholders can use as tax credits in their individual income tax returns. In the event that EU tax reclaims received by a fund during the fiscal year exceed foreign withholding taxes paid, and a fund previously passed foreign tax credits on to its shareholders, a fund must either amend historic tax reporting to shareholders or enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in order to pay the associated tax liability on behalf of the funds shareholders. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023, the EU reclaims received exceeded the foreign withholding taxes of the Fund. As a result, the Fund intends to enter into a closing agreement with the IRS and has recognized an estimated closing agreement fee of $255,300 recorded under IRS closing agreement fee in the Statement of Operations.
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. The 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.
Securities Lending The Funds may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of their securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans the Funds continue to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the year ended May 31, 2023, the Funds invested the cash collateral into a joint trading account in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, an affiliated money market fund managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.08% annualized effective rate as of May 31, 2023) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Funds are not able to recover securities lent, the Funds may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Funds are also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

Derivatives
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts (forward currency contracts) designed to offset the Funds exposure to non-U.S. currencies. In addition, the Funds may enter into forward currency contracts and foreign currency futures contracts to facilitate local securities settlements or to protect against currency exposure in connection with distributions to shareholders.
A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. For the year ended May 31, 2023, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF, invested in forward currency contracts to hedge against changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against specified non-U.S. currencies. Similarly, the Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF each invested in forward currency contracts to hedge against changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against the euro and the Japanese yen, respectively.
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 forward currency contracts. 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 Fund has in that particular currency contract.
A summary of the open forward currency contracts as of May 31, 2023 is included in a table following the Funds Schedule of Investments. The investment in forward currency 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 year ended May 31, 2023.

DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
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. For the year ended May 31, 2023, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF utilized futures in order to simulate investments in the Funds Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.
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 days settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.
A summary of the open futures contracts as of May 31, 2023 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 May 31, 2023 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

As of May 31, 2023, the Funds have transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements which govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with such transactions. Master netting agreements allow a Fund to close out and net total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default with respect to all of the transactions with a counterparty. As defined by the master netting agreement, the Funds may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate risk. Interest expense from collateral received, if any, is included in Interest expense on the Statements of Operations. For financial reporting purposes the Statement of Assets and Liabilities generally shows derivatives assets and liabilities on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures prior to netting. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities to the net amounts by counterparty, including any collateral exposure, is included in the following tables:

Affiliated Cash Management Vehicles The Funds may invest uninvested cash balances in DWS Government Money Market Series and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund, affiliated money market funds which are managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. (DIMA), also an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA. Each affiliated money market fund is managed in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which governs the quality, maturity, diversity and liquidity of instruments in which a money market fund may invest. DWS Government Money Market Series seeks to maintain a stable NAV, and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund maintains a floating NAV. The Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of each affiliated money market fund in which they invest. The Advisor will waive an amount of the unitary advisory fee payable to the Advisor by the Funds equal to such acquired funds fees and expenses on the Funds assets invested in the affiliated money market funds.
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.
For its investment advisory services to the Funds below, the Advisor was entitled to receive a unitary advisory fee based on each Funds average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to:

The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as Administrator, Custodian, Accounting Agent, Lending 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 three Independent Trustees.

5. Fund Share Transactions
As of May 31, 2023, 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 Funds 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.
6. Payments by Affiliates
During the year ended May 31, 2023, the Advisor agreed to reimburse Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF $48 for a loss due to a FX trade executed incorrectly. The amount compensated was less than 0.01% of the Funds average net assets, thus having no impact on the Funds total return.

7. Investing in Emerging Markets
Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in developed markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation or deflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political, social and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls or delayed settlements, and may have prices that are more volatile or less easily assessed than those of comparable securities of issuers in developed markets. There is also substantially less publicly available information about emerging market issuers than there is about issuers in developed countries. Therefore, disclosure of certain material information may not be made, and less information may be available to the Funds and other investors than would be the case if the Funds investments were restricted to securities of issuers in developed countries. Investments in emerging markets are often considered speculative.
Investing in securities of Chinese issuers involves certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including, among others; more frequent (and potentially widespread) trading suspensions and government interventions with respect to Chinese issuers, resulting in lack of liquidity and in price volatility; currency revaluations and other currency exchange rate fluctuations or blockage; the nature and extent of intervention by the Chinese government in the Chinese securities markets (including both direct and indirect market stabilization efforts, which may affect valuations of Chinese issuers), whether such intervention will continue and the impact of such intervention or its discontinuation; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; the risk that the Chinese government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs; limitations on the use of brokers (or action by the Chinese government that discourages brokers from serving international clients); higher rates of inflation; greater political, economic and social uncertainty; higher market volatility caused by any potential regional territorial conflicts or natural disasters; the risk of increased trade tariffs, embargoes and other trade limitations; restrictions on foreign ownership; custody risks associated with investing through Shanghai Hong Kong and Shenzhen Hong Kong Stock Connect programs, Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor program or other programs to access the Chinese securities markets, both interim and permanent market regulations which may affect the ability of certain stockholders to sell Chinese securities when it would otherwise be advisable; and different and less stringent financial reporting standards. In addition, in June 2021, President Biden issued an executive order (CMIC Order) prohibiting U.S. persons, including the Funds, from purchasing or selling publicly traded securities (including publicly traded securities that are derivative of, or designed to provide exposure to, such securities) of any Chinese company identified as a Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Company (CMIC). This prohibition, effective August 2, 2021, expands on similar sanctions imposed by the prior administration on certain designated Chinese military companies (CCMCs) that took effect in January 2021. To the extent that any company in an Underlying Index is identified as a CMIC at any time (or was previously designated as a CCMC), it may have material adverse effect on a funds ability to track its Underlying Index.
8. Line of Credit
The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $105 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 Funds 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 Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus .10%. Each Fund may borrow up to the lesser of 33 percent of its net assets as permitted by the 1940 Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Funds had no outstanding loans at May 31, 2023.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF (collectively referred to as the Funds), (six of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust (the Trust)), including the schedules of investments, as of May 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds (six of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust) at May 31, 2023, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of the internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodians, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the DWS family of funds since at least 1979, but we are unable to determine the specific year.

Regulatory Update Tailored Shareholder Report
Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC amended the rules for mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) annual and semi-annual shareholder reports. The amended rules apply to mutual funds and ETFs that are registered on Form N-1A (i.e., open-end funds) and implement a new streamlined disclosure framework requiring concise and visually engaging shareholder reports highlighting key information, including a simplified expense presentation, performance information, portfolio holdings and certain fund statistics. The amended rules seek to simplify shareholder reporting by consolidating investor friendly data in one report and moving other data to Form N-CSR, creating a layered disclosure framework. Certain information from the Funds current shareholder reports, including the Funds investment portfolio, financial statements and financial highlights, will move to Form N-CSR. This information must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. Notably, the amended rules will require mutual funds and ETFs to prepare separate individual shareholder reports for each fund share class. The amendments also include a revised definition of appropriate broad-based securities market index that will affect performance presentations in the new streamlined reports and mutual fund and ETF prospectuses. The amended rules and related form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of the amended rules and form amendments on the content of the Funds current shareholder reports.

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (the Liquidity Rule) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), your Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the Program), and the Board has designated DBX Advisors LLC (the Advisor) as Program administrator. The Program is designed to assess and manage your Funds liquidity risk (the risk that the Fund would be unable to meet requests to redeem shares of the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors interests in the Fund). The Advisor has designated a committee (the Committee) composed of personnel from multiple departments within an affiliate of the Advisor that is responsible for the implementation and ongoing administration of the Program, which includes assessing the Funds liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions. Under the Program, every investment held by a Fund is classified on a daily basis into one of four liquidity categories based on estimations of the investments ability to be sold during designated timeframes in current market conditions without significantly changing the investments market value.
Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF
In February 2023, as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule, the Advisor provided the Board with an annual written report (the Report) addressing the operation of the Program and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation during the period from December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022 (the Reporting Period). During the Reporting Period, your Fund was primarily invested in highly liquid investments (investments that the Fund anticipates can be converted to cash within three business days or less in current market conditions without significantly changing their market value). As a result, your Fund is not required to adopt, and has not adopted, a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum as defined in the Liquidity Rule. During the Reporting Period, your Fund did not approach the 15% limit imposed by the Liquidity Rule on holdings in illiquid investments (investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in seven days or less in current market conditions without the sale of the investment significantly changing the market value of the investment). Your Fund did not experience any issues meeting investor redemptions at any time during the Reporting Period. In the Report, the Advisor stated that it believes the Program has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Funds liquidity risk during the Reporting Period. The Advisor also reported that there were no material changes made to the Program during the Reporting Period.

During the Reporting Period, your Fund was primarily invested in highly liquid investments (investments that the Fund anticipates can be converted to cash within three business days or less in current market conditions without significantly changing their market value). As a result, your Fund is not required to adopt, and has not adopted, a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum as defined in the Liquidity Rule. During the Reporting Period, the Fund did experience a temporary breach of the 15% limit imposed by the Liquidity Rule on holdings in illiquid investments (investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in seven days or less in current market conditions without the sale of the investment significantly changing the market value of the investment). The breach was caused by the temporary reclassification of Chinese securities as illiquid due to an extended Chinese and Taiwan holiday market closure in January/February 2022. The temporary reclassification of Chinese securities caused the Fund to exceed the 15% limit on illiquid investments. Because a notification to the Funds board of the anticipated extended holiday closure was made before the start of the holiday closure no filing on Form N-RN was required. Also, because the holiday closure was anticipated in advance, no actions were needed to rebalance the Funds portfolio. Your Fund did not experience any issues meeting investor redemptions at any time during the Reporting Period. In the Report, the Advisor stated that it believes the Program has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Funds liquidity risk during the Reporting Period. The Advisor also reported that there were no material changes made to the Program during the Reporting Period.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with DBX Advisors LLC
After discussions at the meeting of the Board of Trustees (Board or Trustees) held on February 15-16, 2023 (the Meeting), the Trustees, all of whom are the Independent Trustees (those not affiliated with DBX ETF Trust (the Trust) or its service providers), unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to Xtrackers MSCI All World ex-US Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF, and Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF (each a Fund, and collectively, the Funds). The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and Meeting by K&L Gates LLP (Independent Trustee Counsel).
Before reaching their decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Independent Trustees evaluated the materials furnished to them in advance of the Meeting from DBX Advisors LLC (DBX or the Advisor) for purposes of reviewing the agreements terms, including statistical information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (Broadridge) regarding (a) fee and expense information for each Fund (including the fee and expense components and any amounts waived or reimbursed) as compared to a peer group of other exchange-traded funds (ETFs) selected pursuant to Broadridges proprietary methodology (each, a Peer Group) and (b) each Funds tracking error as compared to its underlying index over the previous five years (or since inception, if shorter). The Independent Trustees met with representatives of the Advisor on February 13, 2023 to review financial reports and other information provided by the Advisor and inquire further with regard to the financial information provided, and asked questions of the Advisor during this meeting. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the discussions they had with management before and during the Meeting and among themselves during their Executive Sessions held on February 15 and February 16, 2023.
The Independent Trustees also noted that they had received and should take into consideration a substantial amount of information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, which information included, among other things, an analysis of each Funds investment performance, tracking error and related financial information, presentations given by DBX, as well as its periodic reports on brokerage commissions, portfolio execution and other services provided to the Funds.
In reaching its decision to continue in effect the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders; (2) the financial resources of DBX and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services provided by and the profits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds; (5) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized, and if the Funds shareholders have benefitted from those economies; and (6) fall out benefits, if any, enjoyed by the Advisor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (Trust Counsel) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders as well as consistent with the Boards duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.
The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services provided and the risks incurred by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from and the discussions it had with the Advisor continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Advisor had provided in response to the Boards requests prior to the Meeting. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Funds, including arranging for, or implementing, the

Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)
purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Advisor, including portfolio management.
The Board considered that the Advisor provides, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Funds and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trusts service providers. The Board also considered that the Advisor pays or arranges for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Advisor or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Advisor arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Funds operations. The Board also considered that in addition to managing the Funds portfolios directly, the Advisor provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds.
The Board considered the information regarding each Funds tracking error compared to its underlying index that had been provided by the Advisor and by Broadridge. The Board took note of the detailed information provided by the Advisor throughout the year with respect to each Funds tracking error and the sources thereof. The Trustees noted that tracking error for each Fund during the year was in an expected range.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to the Advisor, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of the unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds service providers. The Board considered the staffing of the Advisor, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Funds. The Board also considered the expertise of the Advisor in supervising third party service providers to the Funds, such as the administrator and the custodian, noting the Advisors extensive work with these service providers (including onsite due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision. The Board further considered the compliance program of the Advisor, which supports the Funds compliance program.
Advisors Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Advisor to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Advisors financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Advisor has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared each Funds advisory fee and total expenses to those of the other ETFs in its Peer Group. The Board noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there were limitations faced by Broadridge in providing comparable funds in the Peer Groups and the information in the Broadridge reports accordingly may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board noted that the Peer Groups for currency-hedged Funds included ETFs that were not currency hedged. The Board also noted that the following Funds had advisory fees and/or total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements) that were above the average and/or median of their respective Peer Groups:
| Xtrackers MSCI All World ex-US Hedged Equity ETF |
| Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF |
| Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF |
| Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF |
| Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF |
| Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF |
The Board considered, however, the following additional factors in connection with those Funds:
| The peer group for each of Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI All World ex-US Hedged Equity ETF did not contain any other currency-hedged ETFs. In addition, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETFs advisory fees and total expenses were lower than the largest fund included in its peer group. |
121
DBX ETF Trust
Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)
| The other currency-hedged Funds had advisory fees and total expenses that were competitive with other currency-hedged ETFs in their respective Peer Groups. |
The Board accordingly noted that each Funds fee is competitive with the fees of applicable peer ETFs.
The Board considered that the fee for each of the Funds is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Advisor pays all of the Funds costs (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board considered that each Funds fee had been priced to scale when it was established. The Board also considered that each Funds portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Advisor and that the Advisor also provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for each Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the expenses of the Advisor in developing and rendering services provided to the Funds and the information provided by the Advisor to the Board regarding the Funds profitability. The Board considered that the Advisor had provided extensive information about the Advisors profitability and the Advisors methodology in determining profitability. While the Advisor had provided information about the Advisors expenses relating to marketing the Funds, the Board considered the Advisors profitability without accounting for such expenses. The Board determined that, although only some of the Funds were profitable as of this time, the Advisors profitability with respect to each profitable Fund was not excessive. The Board considered whether the Advisor would benefit in other ways from its relationships with the Funds and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Advisor related to the operation of the Funds.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered that certain Funds had attracted a substantial amount of assets, but determined that those Funds were not experiencing economies of scale beyond what was reflected in each Funds unitary fee, which the Board noted was very competitive. The Board considered that the other Funds were not experiencing economies of scale at this time and determined to revisit this matter after the Funds had attracted more assets. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisers can share benefits of economies of scale.
Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S 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 and less liquid than the markets of 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. The U.S. government has imposed restrictions on the ability of U.S. investors to hold and/or acquire securities of certain Chinese companies. To the extent that an Underlying Index includes such a security, and the Fund excludes it, the Funds tracking error may increase, and the performance of the Fund and Underlying Index may diverge. The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adverse trends in recent years due to concerns about economic downturns or rising government debt levels in several European countries, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. A default or debt restructuring by any European country would adversely impact holders of that countrys debt, and sellers of credit default swaps linked to that countrys creditworthiness (which may be located in countries other than those listed in the previous sentence). These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro, the common currency of certain EU countries, and may continue to significantly affect every country in Europe, including countries that do not use the euro. Italy, Portugal and Spain currently have high levels of debt and public spending, which may stifle economic growth, contribute to prolonged periods of recession or lower sovereign debt ratings and adversely impact investments in the Fund. The Funds use of forward currency contracts may not be successful in hedging currency exchange rates changes and could eliminate some or all of the benefit of an increase in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar. 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. DBGR is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing the Funds potential risk. Performance of the Funds 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 these Funds should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Funds. Please read the prospectus for more information.
War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises, natural disasters, climate change and related geopolitical events have led and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Funds and their investments.
On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom officially withdrew from the EU pursuant to a withdrawal agreement, providing for a transition period in which the United Kingdom negotiated and finalized a trade deal with the EU, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement provisionally applied effective January 1, 2021. As a result, as of January 1, 2021 the United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU customs union and single market, nor is it subject to EU policies and international agreements. The long-term impact of the United Kingdoms withdrawal from the EU is still unknown and could have adverse economic and political effects on the United Kingdom, the EU and its member countries, and the global economy, including financial markets and asset valuations.
Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the NYSE Arca, Inc.

To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)
Dear shareholder,
We are pleased to provide this annual report for our Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF for the period ended May 31, 2023.
Globally, economic recovery was the main priority for all economies amid elevated inflation, hawkish monetary policies of central banks, and escalating geopolitical tensions across the globe. Growing inflation in both developed and emerging economies affected the cost of living, prompting major central banks to resort to aggressive interest rate hikes. Market sentiment turned positive during the latter half of the year, as Chinas reopening lent hope industrial productivity issues and supply chain bottlenecks in recent years would soon end. Toward the end of the reporting period, concerns around the U.S. defaulting on its debt and negotiations to increase the debt ceiling dominated the headlines.
The U.S. economy expanded during the reporting period, driven by robust consumer spending and solid government investments. The labor market remained resilient even though wage growth slowed, as hiring shifted from the industries that had grown rapidly during the pandemic-induced lockdowns to in-person service industries. Consumer confidence has been dipping since the start of the year amid worries about the near-term trajectory of the economy. Inflation peaked in June 2022 before cooling in second half of 2022, but core CPI1 remained elevated, due to high energy prices, which partially influenced the U.S. Federal Reserve Boards decision to hike interest rates. Consequently, U.S. equity markets witnessed heightened volatility, but still advanced over the reporting period.
As the war in Ukraine entered its second year, the Eurozone economy continued its battle with heightened inflation in the region. The Eurozone CPI numbers continued to surpass wage growth rate, weighing on consumption demand. The European Central Bank (ECB), like other developed central banks, continued to hike lending rates, which took a toll on the economy. GDP2 numbers were negative quarter-over-quarter in three of the four quarters during the reporting period. Eurozone GDP expanded 0.1% during Q1 2023 on budgetary support measures from the ECB and retreating energy prices. Plans to move to a sustainable mix of fossil fuels and sustainable energy could play a major role in stabilizing the heavily-energy-reliant economy in the months to come.
In the Pacific, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) remained accommodative to prop up economic recovery, while the rest of the developed worlds central banks maintained their tightening stance. The BoJ used yield curve control, the practice of buying bonds at a variable rate to control interest rates, to control the shape of the yield curve and suppress short- to medium-term rates to spur healthy inflation in the country. Consumer confidence in Japan rose significantly since the start of the reporting period. Australias CPI peaked and reached the highest level in 20 years. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) announced it wanted to keep inflation within its 2-3% target band. However, it also said it would not raise interest rates too quickly, as this could derail the economic recovery. The RBA has kept the interest rate unchanged since November 2022 the lowest in the RBAs history and plans to maintain it for a while as it assesses the impact of accelerating inflation on the economy.
Central banks worldwide remain cautious about global developments and how they could affect the economic recovery. Given the lag in the effects of interest rate hikes, economies are treading carefully to assess the effects of their decisions on ordinary citizens. The recent banking crisis in the U.S. and Europe has added to worries the Fed and the ECB may not be done with their tightening stance just yet. Chinas recovery will likely play an integral role in the recovery, as industrial productivity growth and increased income could buoy further investments.
Sincerely,

DBX ETF Trust
Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF (DBEF)
The Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF (DBEF) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE US Dollar Hedged Index (the DBEF Index). The DBEF Index is designed to provide exposure to equity securities in developed international stock markets while at the same time mitigating exposure to fluctuation between the value of the U.S. dollar and select non-U.S. currencies. For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2023, DBEF returned 9.62%, compared to the DBEF Index return of 9.82%.
The majority of the sectors contributed positively to performance during the period with the greatest contribution coming from Consumer Discretionary, Industrials and Information Technology, while Materials, Real Estate and Communication Services sectors detracted most from the performance. From a geographical perspective, most countries contributed positively to performance with the greatest contributions coming from France, Japan and Germany. However, Australia, Hong Kong and Norway contributed negatively to the performance. The Fund entered into forward foreign currency contracts during the period to hedge against changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against specified non-U.S. currencies. The currency hedging strategy contributed positively to performance.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.Xtrackers.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares or redemption of fund creation units. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are sold in the market or redeemed. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of the unitary advisory fee. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower. The gross expense ratio of the Fund, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated October 1, 2022, was 0.35%, and may differ from the expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights table in this report.
The Funds net asset value or NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Funds total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such funds NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the funds inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.
Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.

DBX ETF Trust
As a shareholder of the Fund, 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 unitary advisory fees and other Fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period the Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The examples in the tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (December 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023).
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.

Fair Value Measurements
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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

DBX ETF Trust
1. Organization
DBX ETF Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.
As of May 31, 2023, the Trust consists of thirty-nine investment series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF (the Fund), a diversified series of the Trust. The Fund may change its diversification status over time and then change it back again, without shareholder approval, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index each Fund tracks.
DBX Advisors LLC (DBX or the Advisor), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (DWS Group), serves as investment advisor to the Fund and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Funds Board of Trustees (Board).
The Fund offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (NYSE Arca). Unlike conventional mutual funds, the Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (NAV), only in large specified lots consisting of 200,000 shares, each called a Creation Unit, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Fund, and owners of shares may acquire those shares from the Fund or tender such shares for redemption to the Fund, in Creation Units only.
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE US Dollar Hedged Index (the Underlying Index).
MSCI is the creator of the MSCI EAFE US Dollar Hedged Index. The MSCI EAFE US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track developed market performance while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries included in the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is 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 months 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 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 the Underlying Index marks to market the one-month forward contracts on a daily basis by using an equal and offsetting forward position.
The Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no charge to the Fund in connection with the licensing agreement.
Pursuant to the Trusts organizational documents, the Trusts officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. 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 Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund 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 Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.
Security Valuation The NAV of the Funds 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 Funds net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
26
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
The Funds Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisors Pricing Committee (the Pricing Committee) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.
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 Funds 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.
Investments in open-ended investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are 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.
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 Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Funds 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 securitys 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 companys or issuers 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 the Funds NAV and the prices used by the Funds Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Funds performance and the performance of the Funds Underlying Index.
Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Funds Schedule of Investments.
Cash Cash consists of cash held at banks and is 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 the Funds policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The 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
27
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
policy of the Fund to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors semi-annually. 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 Fund may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Fund reserves the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of the 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 Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended May 31, 2023, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
As of May 31, 2023, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Foreign Taxes The Fund 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 Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in their Statement of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories. Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of May 31, 2023, if any, are disclosed in the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, the Fund has filed for additional reclaims (EU reclaims) related to prior years. A corresponding receivable is established when both the amount is known and significant contingencies or uncertainties regarding collectability are removed. These amounts, if any, are reported in dividends and interest receivable in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended May 31, 2023, the Fund received reclaims and interest related to EU reclaims, which is reported in unaffiliated dividend income and other income in the Statement of Operations. Expenses incurred related to filing EU reclaims are recorded in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. For U.S. income tax purposes, EU reclaims received by the Fund, if any, reduce the amount of foreign taxes Fund shareholders can use as tax credits in their individual income tax returns. In the event that EU reclaims received by a fund during the fiscal year exceed foreign withholding taxes paid, and a fund previously passed foreign tax credits on to its shareholders, a fund must either amend historic tax reporting to shareholders or enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service in order to pay the associated tax liability on behalf of the funds shareholders. For the year ended May 31, 2023, the EU reclaims received by the Fund did not exceed the foreign withholding taxes of the Fund.
Foreign Currency Translations The books and records of the Fund is 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. The 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.
Securities Lending The Fund may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans, the Fund continues to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Fund requires the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Fund consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the year ended May 31, 2023, the Fund invested the cash collateral into a joint trading account in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, an affiliated money market fund managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.08% annualized effective rate as of May 31, 2023) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities either in the form of fees or
29
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Fund is not able to recover securities lent, the Fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Fund is also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.
As of May 31, 2023, the Fund had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at period end.

Derivatives
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts (forward currency contracts) designed to offset the Funds exposure to non-U.S. currencies. In addition, the Fund may enter into forward currency contracts to facilitate local securities settlements or to protect against currency exposure in connection with distributions to shareholders.
A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. For the year ended May 31, 2023, the Fund invested in forward currency contracts to hedge against changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against specified non-U.S. currencies.
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 forward currency contracts. 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 Fund has in that particular currency contract.
A summary of the open forward currency contracts as of May 31, 2023 is included in a table following the Funds Schedule of Investments. The investment in forward currency contracts short vs. U.S. dollars had a contract value generally indicative of a range of the total exposure the Fund had to the value of non U.S currencies during the year ended May 31, 2023.
Futures Contracts The 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. The Fund will enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. The Fund will not 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. For the year ended May 31, 2023, the Fund utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Funds Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.
At the time the Fund enters into a futures contract, the 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, the 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 the 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
30
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
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 the 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 the 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 days settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.
A summary of the open futures contracts as of May 31, 2023 is included in a table following the Funds Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the value of the Funds derivative instruments held as of May 31, 2023 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
As of May 31, 2023, the Fund has transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements which govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with such transactions. Master netting agreements allow a Fund to close out and net total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default with respect to all of the transactions with a counterparty. As defined by the master netting agreement, the Fund may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate risk. Interest expense from collateral received, if any, is included in Interest expense on the Statement of Operations. For financial reporting purposes the Statement of Assets and Liabilities generally shows derivatives assets and liabilities on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures prior to netting. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities to the net amounts by counterparty, including any collateral exposure, is included in the following tables:

Affiliated Cash Management Vehicles The Fund may invest uninvested cash balances in DWS Government Money Market Series and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund, affiliated money market funds which are managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. (DIMA), also an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA. Each affiliated money market fund is managed in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which governs the quality, maturity, diversity and liquidity of instruments in which a money market fund may invest. DWS Government Money Market Series seeks to maintain a stable NAV and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund maintains a floating NAV. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of each affiliated money market fund in which it invests. The Advisor will waive an amount of the unitary advisory fee payable to the Advisor by the Funds equal to such acquired funds fees and expenses on the Funds assets invested in the affiliated money market funds.
3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
The Advisor has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Funds Board of Trustees. Under an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, 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 Fund to operate.
For its investment advisory services to the Fund, the Advisor is entitled to receive a unitary advisory fee from the Fund based on the Funds average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to 0.35%.
The Advisor for the Fund has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its unitary advisory fee in an amount equal to the acquired funds fees and expenses attributable to the Funds investments in affiliated cash management vehicles. For the period from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023, the Advisor waived $39,289 of expenses to the Fund.
Out of the unitary advisory fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, and expenses of the Independent Trustees. The Fund is responsible for the payment of interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, brokerage expenses, distribution fees or expenses, if any, litigation expenses and extraordinary expenses.

5. Fund Share Transactions
As of May 31, 2023, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statement 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 Funds 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.
6. Payments by Affiliates
During the year ended May 31, 2023, the Advisor agreed to reimburse Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF $3,701 for a loss due to a FX trade executed incorrectly. The amount compensated was less than 0.01% of the Funds average net assets, thus having no impact on the Funds total return.

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF (the Fund), (one of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust (the Trust)), including the schedule of investments, as of May 31, 2023, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust) at May 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of the internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodians, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the DWS family of funds since at least 1979, but we are unable to determine the specific year.

Regulatory Update Tailored Shareholder Report
Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC amended the rules for mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) annual and semi-annual shareholder reports. The amended rules apply to mutual funds and ETFs that are registered on Form N-1A (i.e., open-end funds) and implement a new streamlined disclosure framework requiring concise and visually engaging shareholder reports highlighting key information, including a simplified expense presentation, performance information, portfolio holdings and certain fund statistics. The amended rules seek to simplify shareholder reporting by consolidating investor friendly data in one report and moving other data to Form N-CSR, creating a layered disclosure framework. Certain information from the Funds current shareholder reports, including the Funds investment portfolio, financial statements and financial highlights, will move to Form N-CSR. This information must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. Notably, the amended rules will require mutual funds and ETFs to prepare separate individual shareholder reports for each fund share class. The amendments also include a revised definition of appropriate broad-based securities market index that will affect performance presentations in the new streamlined reports and mutual fund and ETF prospectuses. The amended rules and related form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of the amended rules and form amendments on the content of the Funds current shareholder reports.

DBX ETF Trust
In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (the Liquidity Rule) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), the Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the Program), and the Board has designated DBX Advisors LLC (the Advisor) as Program administrator. The Program is designed to assess and manage your Funds liquidity risk (the risk that the Fund would be unable to meet requests to redeem shares of the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors interests in the Fund). The Advisor has designated a committee (the Committee) composed of personnel from multiple departments within an affiliate of the Advisor that is responsible for the implementation and ongoing administration of the Program, which includes assessing the Funds liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions. Under the Program, every investment held by a Fund is classified on a daily basis into one of four liquidity categories based on estimations of the investments ability to be sold during designated timeframes in current market conditions without significantly changing the investments market value.
In February 2023, as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule, the Advisor provided the Board with an annual written report (the Report) addressing the operation of the Program and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation during the period from December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022 (the Reporting Period). During the Reporting Period, your Fund was primarily invested in highly liquid investments (investments that the Fund anticipates can be converted to cash within three business days or less in current market conditions without significantly changing their market value). As a result, the Fund is not required to adopt, and has not adopted, a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum as defined in the Liquidity Rule. During the Reporting Period, your Fund did not approach the 15% limit imposed by the Liquidity Rule on holdings in illiquid investments (investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in seven days or less in current market conditions without the sale of the investment significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Fund did not experience any issues meeting investor redemptions at any time during the Reporting Period. In the Report, the Advisor stated that it believes the Program has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Funds liquidity risk during the Reporting Period. The Advisor also reported that there were no material changes made to the Program during the Reporting Period.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with DBX Advisors LLC
After discussions at the meeting of the Board of Trustees (Board or Trustees) held on February 15-16, 2023 (the Meeting), the Trustees, all of whom are the Independent Trustees (those not affiliated with DBX ETF Trust (the Trust) or its service providers), unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF, (the Fund). The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and Meeting by K&L Gates LLP (Independent Trustee Counsel).
Before reaching their decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Independent Trustees evaluated the materials furnished to them in advance of the Meeting from DBX Advisors LLC (DBX or the Advisor) for purposes of reviewing the agreements terms, including statistical information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (Broadridge) regarding (a) fee and expense information for the Fund (including the fee and expense components and any amounts waived or reimbursed) as compared to a peer group of other exchange-traded funds (ETFs) selected pursuant to Broadridges proprietary methodology (each, a Peer Group) and (b) the Funds tracking error as compared to its underlying index over the previous five years (or since inception, if shorter). The Independent Trustees met with representatives of the Advisor on February 13, 2023 to review financial reports and other information provided by the Advisor and inquire further with regard to the financial information provided, and asked questions of the Advisor during this meeting. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the discussions they had with management before and during the Meeting and among themselves during their Executive Sessions held on February 15 and February 16, 2023.
The Independent Trustees also noted that they had received and should take into consideration a substantial amount of information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, which information included, among other things, an analysis of the Funds investment performance, tracking error and related financial information, presentations given by DBX, as well as its periodic reports on brokerage commissions, portfolio execution and other services provided to the Fund.
In reaching its decision to continue in effect the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund and its shareholders; (2) the financial resources of DBX and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services provided by and the profits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund; (5) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized, and if the Funds shareholders have benefitted from those economies; and (6) fall out benefits, if any, enjoyed by the Advisor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (Trust Counsel) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders as well as consistent with the Boards duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.
The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services provided and the risks incurred by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from and the discussions it had with the Advisor continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Advisor had provided in response to the Boards requests prior to the Meeting. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Fund, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Advisor, including portfolio management.
37
DBX ETF Trust
Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)
The Board considered that the Advisor provides, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Fund and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trusts service providers. The Board also considered that the Advisor pays or arranges for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Advisor or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Advisor arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Funds operations. The Board also considered that in addition to managing the Funds portfolios directly, the Advisor provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Fund.
The Board considered the information regarding the Funds tracking error compared to its underlying index that had been provided by the Advisor and by Broadridge. The Board took note of the detailed information provided by the Advisor throughout the year with respect to the Funds tracking error and the sources thereof. The Trustees noted that tracking error for the Fund during the year was in an expected range.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to the Advisor, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of the unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds service providers. The Board considered the staffing of the Advisor, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Fund. The Board also considered the expertise of the Advisor in supervising third party service providers to the Fund, such as the administrator and the custodian, noting the Advisors extensive work with these service providers (including onsite due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision. The Board further considered the compliance program of the Advisor, which supports the Funds compliance program.
Advisors Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Advisor to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Advisors financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Advisor has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared the Funds advisory fee and total expenses to those of the other ETFs in its Peer Group. The Board noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there were limitations faced by Broadridge in providing comparable funds in the Peer Groups and the information in the Broadridge reports accordingly may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Fund. The Board noted that the Peer Groups for currency-hedged Funds included ETFs that were not currency hedged. The Board also noted that the advisory fees and total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements) for the Fund were below or equal to the average and/or median of the ETFs in the Funds Peer Group compiled by Broadridge.
The Board accordingly noted that the Funds fee is competitive with the fees of applicable peer ETFs.
The Board considered that the fee for the Fund is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Advisor pays all of the Funds costs (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board considered that the Funds fee had been priced to scale when it was established. The Board also considered that the Funds portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Advisor and that the Advisor also provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Fund. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for the Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the expenses of the Advisor in developing and rendering services provided to the Fund and the information provided by the Advisor to the Board regarding the Funds profitability. The Board considered that the Advisor had provided extensive information about the Advisors profitability and the Advisors methodology in determining profitability. While the Advisor had provided information about the Advisors expenses relating to marketing the Fund, the Board considered the Advisors profitability without accounting for such expenses. The Board determined that, although the Fund was profitable as of this time, the Advisors profitability with respect to the Fund was not excessive. The Board considered

Board Considerations in Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)
whether the Advisor would benefit in other ways from its relationships with the Fund and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Advisor related to the operation of the Fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered that the Fund had attracted a substantial amount of assets, but determined that the Fund was not experiencing economies of scale beyond what was reflected in the Funds unitary fee, which the Board noted was very competitive. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisers can share benefits of economies of scale.
Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. 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. The Funds use of forward currency contracts may not be successful in hedging currency exchange rates changes and could eliminate some or all of the benefit of an increase in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar. 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 the 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. Please read the prospectus for more information.
War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises, natural disasters, climate change and related geopolitical events have led and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Fund and its investments.
Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the NYSE Arca, Inc. 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.

To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)
Dear shareholder,
We are pleased to provide this annual report on six of our ETFs tracking the fixed income market for the period ended May 31, 2023.
The global economy faced several headwinds during the reporting period amid elevated inflation, rising interest rates and heightened economic and geopolitical uncertainties. Persistently high inflation in both developed and developing countries eroded real incomes and prompted aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and other major central banks, except the Bank of Japan. This, in turn, caused financial conditions to tighten and debt-servicing costs to increase. In February 2023, Russias invasion of Ukraine passed the one-year mark, with no real signs of a way out of the conflict. Global financial markets remained largely resilient despite the banking-sector turmoil in the U.S. and Europe. The U.S. labor market remained moderately resilient as the unemployment rate stayed stable amid slowing wage growth. Meanwhile, Chinas reopening after COVID-19-related restrictions had a positive impact on global market sentiment.
In the U.S., fixed income markets were volatile and posted negative returns during the reporting period due to higher interest rates that caused bond yields to rise. In May 2023, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (FRB) raised the Fed funds rate by 25Bps1 to a range of 5-5.25%, bringing borrowing costs to their highest level since September 2007, to achieve its 2% inflation target. FRB officials expressed uncertainty about how much more policy tightening may be appropriate in the future. In July 2022, the 10-year versus 2-year Treasury yield spread curve inverted; this is usually considered a predictor of economic recession, as short-term interest rates became higher than long-term interest rates. Both 10-year and 2-year Treasury yields increased during the reporting period amid concerns surrounding the outlook of the U.S. economy and speculation around the debt-ceiling deal.
The Eurozone economy returned to growth in Q1 2023, with an expansion of 0.1% QoQ after recording zero growth in Q4 2022. While Germanys economy saw no growth, Spain and Italy witnessed strong expansion. The blocs economy has been impacted significantly by an increase in consumer prices owing to higher energy and food costs. Furthermore, the European Central Banks (ECBs) aggressive monetary tightening policy added to the economic woes, along with a decline in confidence levels among businesses and consumers. The Bank of Japans new governor pledged to keep the loose monetary policy unchanged for now and announced plans to review past monetary policy moves. Chinas economy grew 4.5% YoY in Q1 2023 after 2.9% growth in Q4 2022, beating market estimates of 4%, amid Beijings efforts to stimulate the post-pandemic recovery. Developing markets faced challenges from elevated inflation amid slowing growth.
We believe central banks around the world will remain wary in their approach to monetary policy and watch for positive signs in the economy before taking any interest rate action. The recent banking system stress and debt-ceiling concerns will also weigh on the U.S. Federal Reserves (Feds) decisions in the coming months. Unlike the Fed, the ECB has clearly maintained its stance on monetary action and is willing to rates further until inflation is within the comfort level. We will be keenly watching how China recovers from its COVID-19-related restrictions to induce an uptick in industrial activity and income recovery while boosting private sector investment.
Our team appreciates your trust and looks forward to serving your investment needs through innovative index-driven strategies.
Sincerely,
/s/ Freddi Klassen

2 On May 12, 2020, the Fund changed its Underlying Index from Solactive Investment Grade Bond Interest Rate Hedged Index to the Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index. Returns reflect performance for the Solactive Investment Grade Bond Interest Rate Hedged Index through May 11, 2020.
Prior to May 12, 2020, the Fund was known as Xtrackers Investment Grade Bond Interest Rate Hedged ETF and had a different investment strategy. Past performance may have been different if the Funds current investment strategy had been in effect.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.Xtrackers.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares or redemption of fund creation units. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are sold in the market or redeemed. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of the unitary advisory fee. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower. The gross expense ratio of the Fund, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated October 1, 2022, was 0.15%, and may differ from the expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights table in this report.
The Funds net asset value or NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Funds total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such funds NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the funds inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.
Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.

1 Total returns are calculated based on the commencement of operations, March 3, 2015 (Inception).
2 On May 12, 2020, the Fund changed its Underlying Index from Solactive High Yield Corporate Bond Interest Rate Hedged Index to the J.P. Morgan ESG DM Corporate High Yield USD Index. Returns reflect performance for the Solactive High Yield Corporate Bond Interest Rate Hedged Index through May 11, 2020.
Prior to May 12, 2020, the Fund was known as Xtrackers High Yield Corporate Bond Interest Rate Hedged ETF and had a different investment strategy. Past performance may have been different if the Funds current investment strategy had been in effect.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.Xtrackers.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares or redemption of fund creation units. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are sold in the market or redeemed. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of the unitary advisory fee. Without such waiver, performance would have been lower. The gross expense ratio of the Fund, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated October 1, 2022, was 0.20%, and may differ from the expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights table in this report.
The Funds net asset value or NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Funds total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such funds NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not have traded in the secondary market until after the funds inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.
An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.
Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the unadjusted net asset value per share may differ from the total return reported in the financial highlights.

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 unitary advisory fees and other Fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period the Funds, except for Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. 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 in the tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six month period and held for the entire period (December 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023).
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.

Fair Value Measurements
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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements
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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements
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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements
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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements
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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

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 Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2023 in valuing the Funds investments. For information on the Funds policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

DBX ETF Trust
1. Organization
DBX ETF Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.
As of May 31, 2023, the Trust consists of thirty-nine investment series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs)(each a Fund and collectively, the Funds) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:
Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF
Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF
Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF
Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF
Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF
Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF
DBX Advisors LLC (DBX or the Advisor), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (DWS Group), 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 (Board).
Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF and Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF offer shares that are listed and traded on the Cboe Bats BZX Exchange. Inc. (Cboe). Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF offer 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, (NAV) 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. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds, and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Funds, or tender such shares for redemption to the Funds, in Creation Units only.
The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the Underlying Index). The underlying indices for the Funds are:
Fund |
Underlying Index | |
Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF | Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index | |
Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF | J.P. Morgan ESG EMBI Global Diversified Sovereign Index | |
Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF | J.P. Morgan ESG DM Corporate High Yield USD Index | |
Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF | Solactive Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond Index | |
Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF | MSCI ACWI ex USA High Dividend Yield Index | |
Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF | MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Index |
The Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index is designed to apply environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations to a broader parent index. The Underlying Index generally aims to keep the broad characteristics of its parent index, the Bloomberg US Corporate Index (an investment grade corporate bond universe), resulting in a broad investment grade fixed income market exposure with ESG aspects. Under normal circumstances, the Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index is reconstituted and rebalanced on a monthly basis.
The J.P. Morgan ESG EMBI Global Diversified Sovereign Index is designed to apply environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations to a broader parent index. The Underlying Index generally aims to keep the broad characteristics of its parent index, the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Sovereign Index, resulting in a broad emerging markets sovereign debt market exposure with ESG aspects.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
The J.P. Morgan ESG DM Corporate High Yield USD Index is designed to apply environmental, social and governance considerations to a broader parent index. The Underlying Index generally aims to keep the broad characteristics of its parent index, the J.P. Morgan DM High Yield USD Index (a USD denominated high yield corporate bond index of developed market issuers), resulting in a broad high yield fixed income market exposure with ESG aspects. Under normal circumstances, the J.P. Morgan Indices are reconstituted and rebalanced on a monthly basis.
The Solactive Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond Index is designed to track the performance 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). Under normal circumstances, the Solactive Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond Index is rebalanced monthly on the last business day of each month.
The MSCI ACWI ex USA High Dividend Yield Index is designed to track the performance of equity securities (excluding real estate investment trusts (REITs)) in developed and emerging stock markets (excluding the United States) in its parent index, the MSCI ACWI ex US Index, with higher dividend income and quality characteristics than average dividend yields of equities in the parent index, where such higher dividend income and quality characteristics are both sustainable and persistent. The MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Index is designed to reflect the performance of equities (excluding REITs) in developed markets in its parent index, the MSCI EAFE Index, with higher dividend income and quality characteristics than average dividend yields of equities in the parent index, where such higher dividend income and quality characteristics are both sustainable and persistent. Under normal circumstances, the MSCI High Dividend Yield Indices are rebalanced semi-annually in May and November.
Each Fund is entitled to use its respective Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.
Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust. In addition, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF may change their diversification status over time and then change it back again, without shareholder approval, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index each Fund tracks.
Pursuant to the Trusts organizational documents, the Trusts 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 Trusts 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. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Security Valuation The NAV of each Funds 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 Funds net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
The Funds Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisors Pricing Committee (the Pricing Committee) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.
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 Funds 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.
Municipal debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services approved by the Pricing Committee. 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 and other data, as well as broker quotes. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, obtained from broker-dealers. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2.
Corporate and sovereign debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services approved by the Pricing Committee. 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 and other data, as well as broker quotes. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, obtained from broker-dealers. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2.
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.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are 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.
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 Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Funds 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 securitys 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
82
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
pricing services; information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange traded securities); an analysis of the companys or issuers 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 Funds NAV and the prices used by the Funds Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Funds performance and the performance of the Funds Underlying Index.
Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Funds Schedule of Investments.
Cash Cash consists of cash held at banks and is 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. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes.
Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders It is each Funds 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 Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF to pay out dividends from its net investment income monthly and Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF to pay out dividends from net investment income quarterly. 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 Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended May 31, 2023, 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, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories, and deferred foreign taxes on unrealized gains are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of May 31, 2023, 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. The 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.
Securities Lending The Funds, except the Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of their securities lending agreement. During the term of
85
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
the loans, the Funds continue to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the year ended May 31, 2023, Funds invested the cash collateral into a joint trading account in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, an affiliated money market fund managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.08% annualized effective rate as of May 31, 2023) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Funds are not able to recover securities lent, the Funds may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Funds are also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.
As of May 31, 2023, the Funds listed below had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at year end.

Derivatives
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. For the year ended May 31, 2023, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.
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
86
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
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 days settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.
A summary of the open futures contracts as of May 31, 2023 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 May 31, 2023 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

Affiliated Cash Management Vehicles The Funds may invest uninvested cash balances in DWS Government Money Market Series and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund, affiliated money market funds which are managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. (DIMA), also an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA. Each affiliated money market fund is managed in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which governs the quality, maturity, diversity and liquidity of instruments in which a money market fund may invest. DWS Government Money Market Series seeks to maintain a stable NAV, and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund maintains a floating NAV. The Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of each affiliated money market fund in which they invest. The Advisor will waive an amount of the unitary advisory fee payable to the Advisor by the Funds equal to such acquired funds fees and expenses on the Funds assets invested in the affiliated money market funds.

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.

5. Fund Share Transactions
As of May 31, 2023, 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 Funds 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.
6. Payments by Affiliates
During the year ended May 31, 2023, the Advisor agreed to reimburse Xtrackers J.P Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF $188 for a loss due to a FX trade executed incorrectly. The amount compensated was less than 0.01% of the Funds average net assets, thus having no impact on the Funds total return.
7. Investing in Emerging Markets
Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in developed markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation or deflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political, social and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls or delayed settlements, and may have prices that are more volatile or less easily assessed than those of comparable securities of issuers in developed markets. There is also substantially less publicly available information about emerging market issuers than there is about issuers in developed countries. Therefore, disclosure of certain
89
DBX ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
material information may not be made, and less information may be available to the Funds and other investors than would be the case if the Funds investments were restricted to securities of issuers in developed countries. Investments in emerging markets are often considered speculative.
8. Investing in High-Yield Debt Securities
High-yield debt securities or junk bonds are generally regarded as speculative with respect to the issuers continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. A funds performance could be hurt if an issuer of a debt security suffers an adverse change in financial condition that results in the issuer not making timely payments of interest or principal, a security downgrade or an inability to meet a financial obligation. High-yield debt securities total return and yield may generally be expected to fluctuate more than the total return and yield of investment-grade debt securities. A real or perceived economic downturn or an increase in market interest rates could cause a decline in the value of high-yield debt securities, result in increased redemptions and/or result in increased portfolio turnover, which could result in a decline in NAV of a fund, reduce liquidity for certain investments and/or increase costs. High-yield debt securities are often thinly traded and can be more difficult to sell and value accurately than investment-grade debt securities as there may be no established secondary market. Investments in high-yield debt securities could increase liquidity risk for a fund. In addition, the market for high-yield debt securities can experience sudden and sharp volatility which is generally associated more with investments in stocks.
9. Line of Credit
The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $105 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 Funds 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 Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus .10%. Each Fund may borrow up to the lesser of 33 percent of its net assets as permitted by the Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Funds had no outstanding loans at May 31, 2023.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF (collectively referred to as the Funds), (six of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust (the Trust)), including the schedules of investments, as of May 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations for the year ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds (six of the funds constituting DBX ETF Trust) at May 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of the internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodians, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the DWS family of funds since at least 1979, but we are unable to determine the specific year.

Regulatory Update Tailored Shareholder Report
Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC amended the rules for mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) annual and semi-annual shareholder reports. The amended rules apply to mutual funds and ETFs that are registered on Form N-1A (i.e., open-end funds) and implement a new streamlined disclosure framework requiring concise and visually engaging shareholder reports highlighting key information, including a simplified expense presentation, performance information, portfolio holdings and certain fund statistics. The amended rules seek to simplify shareholder reporting by consolidating investor friendly data in one report and moving other data to Form N-CSR, creating a layered disclosure framework. Certain information from the Funds current shareholder reports, including the Funds investment portfolio, financial statements and financial highlights, will move to Form N-CSR. This information must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. Notably, the amended rules will require mutual funds and ETFs to prepare separate individual shareholder reports for each fund share class. The amendments also include a revised definition of appropriate broad-based securities market index that will affect performance presentations in the new streamlined reports and mutual fund and ETF prospectuses. The amended rules and related form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of the amended rules and form amendments on the content of the Funds current shareholder reports.

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (the Liquidity Rule) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), your Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the Program), and the Board has designated DBX Advisors LLC (the Advisor) as Program administrator. The Program is designed to assess and manage your Funds liquidity risk (the risk that the Fund would be unable to meet requests to redeem shares of the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors interests in the Fund). The Advisor has designated a committee (the Committee) composed of personnel from multiple departments within an affiliate of the Advisor that is responsible for the implementation and ongoing administration of the Program, which includes assessing the Funds liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions. Under the Program, every investment held by a Fund is classified on a daily basis into one of four liquidity categories based on estimations of the investments ability to be sold during designated timeframes in current market conditions without significantly changing the investments market value.
In February 2023, as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule, the Advisor provided the Board with an annual written report (the Report) addressing the operation of the Program and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation during the period from December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022 (the Reporting Period). During the Reporting Period, your Fund was primarily invested in highly liquid investments (investments that the Fund anticipates can be converted to cash within three business days or less in current market conditions without significantly changing their market value). As a result, your Fund is not required to adopt, and has not adopted, a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum as defined in the Liquidity Rule. During the Reporting Period, your Fund did not approach the 15% limit imposed by the Liquidity Rule on holdings in illiquid investments (investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in seven days or less in current market conditions without the sale of the investment significantly changing the market value of the investment). Your Fund did not experience any issues meeting investor redemptions at any time during the Reporting Period. In the Report, the Advisor stated that it believes the Program has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Funds liquidity risk during the Reporting Period. The Advisor also reported that there were no material changes made to the Program during the Reporting Period.

The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the review and Meeting by K&L Gates LLP (Independent Trustee Counsel).
Before reaching their decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Independent Trustees evaluated the materials furnished to them in advance of the Meeting from DBX Advisors LLC (DBX or the Advisor) for purposes of reviewing the agreements terms, including statistical information prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (Broadridge) regarding (a) fee and expense information for each Fund (including the fee and expense components and any amounts waived or reimbursed) as compared to a peer group of other exchange-traded funds (ETFs) selected pursuant to Broadridges proprietary methodology (each, a Peer Group) and (b) each Funds tracking error as compared to its underlying index over the previous five years (or since inception, if shorter). The Independent Trustees met with representatives of the Advisor on February 13, 2023 to review financial reports and other information provided by the Advisor and inquire further with regard to the financial information provided, and asked questions of the Advisor during this meeting. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the discussions they had with management before and during the Meeting and among themselves during their Executive Sessions held on February 15 and February 16, 2023.
The Independent Trustees also noted that they had received and should take into consideration a substantial amount of information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, which information included, among other things, an analysis of each Funds investment performance, tracking error and related financial information, presentations given by DBX, as well as its periodic reports on brokerage commissions, portfolio execution and other services provided to the Funds.
In reaching its decision to continue in effect the Investment Advisory Agreement for another annual period, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders; (2) the financial resources of DBX and its resulting ability to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (3) the competitiveness of the advisory fee; (4) the total cost of the services provided by and the profits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds; (5) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized, and if the Funds shareholders have benefitted from those economies; and (6) fall out benefits, if any, enjoyed by the Advisor.
The Board reached a determination, with the assistance of Independent Trustee Counsel and Vedder Price P.C. (Trust Counsel) and through the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the compensation to be received thereunder is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders as well as consistent with the Boards duties under state and federal law. The Board reached this conclusion based on multiple factors.
The Board considered the following in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed in detail the nature, extent and quality of services provided and the risks incurred by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In doing so, the Board considered the information it had received from and the discussions it had with the Advisor continuously during the prior year, in addition to the information the Advisor had provided in response to the Boards requests prior to

Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)
the Meeting. The Board considered that these services include, among other things, furnishing a continuous investment program for the Funds, including arranging for, or implementing, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, the provision of general corporate services such as portfolio management compliance services and the preparation and filing of certain reports on behalf of the Trust. The Board also considered, among other things, the professional experience, qualifications and performance of the senior management and key professional personnel of the Advisor, including portfolio management.
The Board considered that the Advisor provides, at its own expense, office facilities and equipment for use by the Funds and supervisory persons responsible for supervising and monitoring the Trusts service providers. The Board also considered that the Advisor pays or arranges for the compensation of officers of the Trust who are also officers or employees of the Advisor or one of its DWS Group affiliates, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board. In addition, the Board considered that the Advisor arranges for the provision of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution services necessary for the Funds operations. The Board also considered that in addition to managing the Funds portfolios directly, the Advisor provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with the creation and redemption of creation units and assistance in meeting legal, compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds.
The Board considered the information regarding each Funds tracking error compared to its underlying index that had been provided by the Advisor and by Broadridge. The Board took note of the detailed information provided by the Advisor throughout the year with respect to each Funds tracking error and the sources thereof. The Trustees noted that tracking error for each Fund during the year was in an expected range.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable and appropriate in relation to the fees paid to the Advisor, taking special consideration of the fact that the advisory fee is a unitary fee and, as a result, a portion of the unitary advisory fee will be used to compensate the Funds service providers. The Board considered the staffing of the Advisor, including the training, qualifications and experience of investment personnel in managing the Funds. The Board also considered the expertise of the Advisor in supervising third party service providers to the Funds, such as the administrator and the custodian, noting the Advisors extensive work with these service providers (including onsite due diligence sessions) to conduct such supervision. The Board further considered the compliance program of the Advisor, which supports the Funds compliance program.
Advisors Financial Resources. In connection with the assessment of the ability of the Advisor to perform its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the Advisors financial condition and whether it has the resources necessary to carry out its functions. The Board concluded that the Advisor has the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Reasonableness of Advisory Fee. The Board compared each Funds advisory fee and total expenses to those of the other ETFs in its Peer Group. The Board noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there were limitations faced by Broadridge in providing comparable funds in the Peer Groups and the information in the Broadridge reports accordingly may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board also noted that the advisory fees and total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements) for many of the Funds were below or equal to the average and/or median of the ETFs in each Funds respective Peer Group compiled by Broadridge, but the following Fund had advisory fees and/or total expenses (after waivers/reimbursements) that were above the average and/or median of its respective Peer Group:
| Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF |
The Board considered, however, the following additional factors in connection with this Fund:
| The peer group for Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF did not include any other sovereign debt ETFs. |
95

Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)
The Board accordingly noted that each Funds fee is competitive with the fees of applicable peer ETFs.
The Board considered that the fee for each of the Funds is a unitary fee pursuant to which the Advisor pays all of the Funds costs (subject to certain specified exceptions). The Board considered that each Funds fee had been priced to scale when it was established. The Board also considered that each Funds portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Advisor and that the Advisor also provides oversight of day-to-day operations, including monitoring tracking error, providing services in connection with creation and redemption units and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for each Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Board considered the expenses of the Advisor in developing and rendering services provided to the Funds and the information provided by the Advisor to the Board regarding the Funds profitability. The Board considered that the Advisor had provided extensive information about the Advisors profitability and the Advisors methodology in determining profitability. While the Advisor had provided information about the Advisors expenses relating to marketing the Funds, the Board considered the Advisors profitability without accounting for such expenses. The Board determined that, although only some of the Funds were profitable as of this time, the Advisors profitability with respect to each profitable Fund was not excessive. The Board considered whether the Advisor would benefit in other ways from its relationships with the Funds and concluded that there were no material fall-out benefits likely to accrue to the Advisor related to the operation of the Funds.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered that certain Funds had attracted a substantial amount of assets, but determined that those Funds were not experiencing economies of scale beyond what was reflected in each Funds unitary fee, which the Board noted was very competitive. The Board considered that the other Funds were not experiencing economies of scale at this time and determined to revisit this matter after the Funds had attracted more assets. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisers can share benefits of economies of scale.
Given all the information available to it and considering all material factors, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and it was unanimously approved.

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.
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. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. 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 and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Investments in lower-quality (junk bonds) and non-rated securities present greater risk of loss than investments in higher-quality securities. 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 issuers 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. Incorporation of ESG criteria in a funds investment strategy does not guarantee a return or protect against a loss, limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. Stocks may decline in value. Dividends are not guaranteed. If the dividend-paying stocks held by the Fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the Funds ability to generate income may be adversely affected. Performance of the Funds 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 these Funds should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Funds. Please read the prospectus for more information.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria are a set of standards for a companys operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments: Environmental (how a company performs as a steward of nature); Social (how a company manages relationships with employee, suppliers, customers and communities); Governance (companys leadership, executive pay, shareholder rights, etc).
War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises, natural disasters, climate change and related geopolitical events have led and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Funds and their investments.
Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the NYSE Arca, Inc. or CBOE BZX Exchange, Inc., as applicable. 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.

Pursuant to PCAOB Rule 3526, EY is required to describe in writing to the Funds Audit Committee, on at least an annual basis, all relationships between EY, or any of its affiliates, and the Xtrackers ETFs, or persons in financial reporting oversight roles at DWS that, as of the date of the communication, may reasonably be thought to bear on EYs independence. Pursuant to PCAOB Rule 3526, EY has reported the matters set forth below that may reasonably be thought to bear on EYs independence. With respect to each reported matter in the aggregate, EY advised the Audit Committee that, after careful consideration of the facts and circumstances and the applicable independence rules, it concluded that the matters do not and will not impair EYs ability to exercise objective and impartial judgement in connection with the audits of the financial statements for the Funds and a reasonable investor with knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances would conclude that EY has been and is capable of exercising objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within EYs audit engagements. EY also confirmed to the Audit Committee that it can continue to act as the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Funds.
| EY advised the Funds Audit Committee that various covered persons within EY and EYs affiliates held investments in, or had other financial relationships with, entities within the Xtrackers ETFs investment company complex (as defined in Regulation S-X). EY informed the Audit Committee that these investments and financial relationships were inconsistent with Rule 2-01(c)(1) of Regulation S-X. EY reported that all breaches have been resolved and that none of the breaches involved any professionals who were part of the audit engagement team for the Funds ETFs or in the position to influence the audit engagement team for the Funds. |

EX-99.CODE ETH
DBX ETF TRUST
CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS
I. | COVERED OFFICERS/PURPOSE OF THE CODE |
This code of ethics (the Code) applies to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the Covered Officers, each of whom are set forth in Exhibit A) of the DBX ETF Trust (the Trust) on behalf of each of its series (each a Fund, together the Funds), for the purpose of promoting:
| honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
| full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that each Fund files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in other public communications made by the Funds; |
| compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations; |
| the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and |
| accountability for adherence to the Code. |
Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.
II. | COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD HANDLE ETHICALLY ACTUAL AND APPARENT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST |
Overview. A conflict of interest occurs when a Covered Officers private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, a Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Fund.
Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Funds, and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (Investment Advisers Act). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with a Fund because of their status as affiliated persons of the Fund. The compliance programs and procedures of the Funds and DBX Advisors LLC (the Adviser) are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.
Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between each Fund and its Adviser or sub-adviser, of which the Covered Officers may be officers or employees, or officers or employees of affiliates. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Funds or for the Adviser or sub-adviser, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Adviser or sub-adviser and the Fund. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and the Adviser or sub-adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Funds Board of members (the Board) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.
Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of a Fund.
* * * *
Each Covered Officer must:
| not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a Fund whereby the Covered Officer1 would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund; |
| not cause a Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than for the benefit of the Fund; and |
| not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for a Fund to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions. |
1 | Any activity or relationship that would present a conflict for a Covered Officer would also present a conflict for the Covered Officer if a member of a Covered Officers family (spouse, minor children and any account over which a Covered Officer is deemed to have beneficial interest) engages in such an activity or has such a relationship. |
2
There are some potential conflict of interest situations that should be discussed with the Funds Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) or designee in order to determine whether these situations pose a material risk of causing detriment to the Fund(s). Examples of these include:
| service as a director on the board of any public or private company; |
| the receipt of any non-nominal gifts or the conveyance of any value (including entertainment) from any company with which the Fund has current or prospective business dealings, to the extent the situation is not addressed by the Funds 17j-1 Code of Ethics or the Advisers Code of Ethics, except: (a) any non-cash gifts of nominal value (nominal value is less than $100); and (b) customary and reasonable meals and entertainment at which the giver is present, such as the occasional business meal or sporting event; |
| the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Fund has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety, to the extent the situation is not addressed by the Funds 17j-1 Code of Ethics or the Advisers Code of Ethics; |
| any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Funds service providers, other than the Adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof; and |
| a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officers employment, such as compensation or equity ownership. |
III. | DISCLOSURE AND COMPLIANCE |
Each Covered Officer should:
| familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to each Fund; |
| not knowingly misrepresent, or knowingly cause others to misrepresent, facts about a Fund to others, whether within or outside the Funds, including to the Funds Directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations; |
| to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of a Fund and the Adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Fund; and |
3
| comply with his or her obligations under each Funds Disclosure Controls and Procedures and certification requirements relating to the reports on Form N-CSR (certified shareholder reports) and Form N-PORT (quarterly schedule of portfolio holdings) that the Fund is required to file. |
It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.
IV. | REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY |
Each Covered Officer must:
| upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he has received, read, and understands the Code (Exhibit B); |
| annually thereafter affirm in writing to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code (Exhibit C); |
| annually disclose affiliations and other relationships related to conflicts of interest; |
| not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of a Fund or its affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and |
| notify the CCO promptly if he knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code. |
The CCO is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. Any approvals or waivers sought by the Covered Officers must be considered by the CCO. In rendering decisions and interpretations and in conducting investigations of potential violations under the Code, the CCO may, at the CCOs discretion, consult with such persons as it determines to be appropriate, including, but not limited to, a senior legal officer of the Fund or the Adviser or its affiliates, independent auditors or other consultants, subject to any requirement to seek pre-approval from the Funds audit committee for the retention of independent auditors to perform permissible non-audit services.
Each Fund will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:
| the CCO will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported; |
| if, after such investigation, the CCO believes that no violation has occurred, the CCO is not required to take any further action; |
4
| if the CCO determines that a violation has occurred, it will inform and make a recommendation to the Board Members that are not interested persons of the Fund, as such term is defined in the 1940 Act (Independent Trustees), who will consider appropriate action, which may include: (i) review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; (ii) notification to appropriate personnel of the Adviser or its board; or (iii) a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer; |
| the CCO will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate, and will provide a report annually to the Board describing any waivers granted; and |
| any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules. |
V. | OTHER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES |
This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by each Fund for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, the Adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Funds and the Advisers and principal underwriters codes of ethics under Rule 17j-l under the 1940 Act, and any other codes of conduct applicable to such entities, are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others and are not part of this Code.
VI. | AMENDMENTS |
Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees.
VII. | CONFIDENTIALITY |
All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than a Funds counsel, the Board, independent auditors or other consultants referred to in Section IV, above.
VIII. | INTERNAL USE |
The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Funds, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
