IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL SHAREHOLDERS
OF THE COMPANY

This letter is to inform the shareholders of the Company on
behalf of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board of
Directors") about its decision (i) to amend certain definitions and
introduce certain new definitions in the prospectus of the Company
(the "Prospectus"), in relation to the subscription and repurchase
of Shares, (ii) to change the cut-off times for certain sub-funds
of the Company (the "Funds") and (iii) to change the investment
manager of the Company (collectively referred to as the "Changes").
Details of the Changes are listed below. The Changes will take
effect from 15 December 2017 (the "Effective Date").
1.Changes to the Definitions
With effect from the Effective Date, the following changes to

the Company as specified in the Supplement for the relevant Fund provided under "Subscriptions for Shares (Primary Market)", "Repurchase of Shares
that there shall be at least two Dealing Days in each month; (Primary Market)" and "Exchange of Shares" in the Prospectus.
In general, each Business Day will be a Transaction Day.
However, some Business Days will not be Transaction Days where
Significant Markets are closed and/or such other days
as the Company may from time to time determine provided that
there is at least one Transaction Day per fortnight.
Any applications received by the Administrator after the Cut-off
Time for a Transaction Day will be deferred to the next
Transaction Day and processed on the basis of the Net Asset Value
per Share calculated for such deferred Transaction Day.
The Company may declare that a Business Day is a Transaction Day when a Significant
Market is closed, in its discretion, where it believes it to be
more appropriate. The Transaction Day for each Sub-Fund is available from
the Investment Manager and/or sub-investment and sub-portfolio managers.

A NAV Date is the day as of which the assets and liabilities of the
Fund are valued in accordance with the section headed "Calculation

avoidance of doubt, each Transaction Day will be a NAV Date.

Value of a Fund and the Net Asset Value per Share are calculated Fund) the first Business Day following a NAV Date.

there shall be at least two Valuation Points in every month.
2.Introduction of new definitions
With effect from the Effective Date, the following new
definitions will be introduced:
Direct Replication means any market and/or exchange
Significant Market or combination
of markets and/or exchanges
where the value of the Fund's
investments in those markets
and/or exchanges exceeds 30 percent.
of the Net Asset Value of the
Fund, calculated on a quarterly basis
and recorded in the Company's
financial statements. The Company
may determine that a different
percentage of Net Asset Value and/or
date may apply at their
discretion where they believe it
is more appropriate and will be
notified to the relevant Authorised
Participants accordingly.
Indirect Replication means any market and/or
Significant Market exchange on which
constituents of the Index
are traded,
unless otherwise set out
in the Supplement
for the relevant Fund.
London Banking Day means a day on which
commercial banks are
open and settle payments in London,
excluding days on which
such commercial
banks are open for only half a day.
Significant Market means either a Direct Replication
Significant Market
or an Indirect Replication
Significant Market.
Further to the introduction of the new definition of "Cut-off
Time" in the main body of the Prospectus, the relevant Cut-off Time
for a particular Fund will be detailed in the supplement (the
"Supplement") for the relevant Fund.
The new definition of "Direct Replication Significant Market" in
the main body of the Prospectus will apply to any Fund which
follows a direct replication investment policy. The Supplement of
any Direct Replication Fund will state that the aforementioned
definition of Direct Replication Significant Market applies.
The new definition of "Indirect Replication Significant Market"
in the main body of the Prospectus will apply to any Fund which
follows an indirect replication investment policy. The Supplement
of any Indirect Replication Fund will state that the aforementioned
definition of Indirect Replication Significant Market applies.
The reasons for the Changes are as follows:
(i) Currently, the Company is unable to accept orders for Funds
on a day where the Index is not published for such a Business Day,
whereas such acceptance of orders will be possible following the
Changes; and
(ii) Sub-portfolio managers no longer wish to accept orders for
subscriptions, repurchases and exchanges on a day which is not a
London Banking Day.
3.Change of Cut-off Time
The attention of Shareholders is drawn to the fact that, as from
the Effective Date, the Cut-off Time (as per the new definition)
for certain Funds will change as described in the Annex 1 to this
notice.
Save for the Changes described above, the investment policy, the
investment strategy, the risk profile and the fees of the Funds
will remain unchanged. There will also be no changes to the
operation and/or manner in which the Funds are being managed.
4.Change of Investment Manager
The Board of Directors has resolved that Deutsche Asset
Management S.A. (the "Investment Manager") will take over
responsibilities from Deutsche International Corporate Services
(Ireland) Limited as investment manager of the Company.
The Investment Manager has been established under the laws of
the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in the form of a "Société Anonyme" on
15 April 1987 having its registered office at 2, boulevard Konrad
Adenauer, L-1115 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The
Investment Manager is registered with the Luxembourg Trade and
Companies' Register under number B-25.754. The Investment Manager
is authorised as a UCITS management company under Chapter 15 of the
Luxembourg law of 17 December 2010 relating to undertakings for
collective investment, as may be amended and as an alternative
investment fund manager under Chapter 2 of the Luxembourg law of 12
July 2013 relating to alternative investment fund managers and
implementing the AIFM Directive into Luxembourg legislation.
The Company will enter into an investment management agreement
with the Investment Manager on substantially similar terms and
conditions and subject to the same fees as the outgoing investment
manager.
Existing processes, competencies and portfolio management
responsibilities as well as the account and relationship manager
for each Shareholder will not change.
No costs or expenses relating to the above Changes and their
implementation will be borne by the Company, the Funds and/or their
investors.
The above mentioned Changes will be reflected in a revised
Prospectus and, where relevant, revised Supplements of the Funds to
be issued on or around the Effective Date. Revised copies of the
Prospectus and relevant Supplements reflecting the Changes will be
available on the website of the Company (www.Xtrackers.com), and
may be obtained free of charge at the Company's registered office
or at the foreign representatives' offices, once available.
Capitalised terms used in this notice shall have the meaning
ascribed to them in the current Prospectus unless the context
otherwise requires.
This notice is for information purposes only. Shareholders are
not required to take any action.
If you have any queries or if any of the above is not clear, you
should seek advice from your stockbroker, bank manager, legal
adviser, accountant or other independent financial advisor.
Further information in relation to this change may be obtained
from the Company at its registered address, the offices of foreign
representatives or by sending an email to Xtrackers@db.com.
Yours faithfully
