Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management Takes Proactive Step to Accommodate Exceptional Investor Demand for ASHR

Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management today announced that, due to high investor demand, Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF (NYSE Arca: ASHR) is approaching the limit of its currently available RQFII quota for purchasing China A shares securities. As a result:

  • Effective trade date January 21, 2015, ASHR will accept one creation unit, comprised of 50,000 shares, each day.
  • Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management and ASHR’s sub-advisor, Harvest Global Investments Limited, continue to work with the Chinese authorities to obtain an increase in RQFII quota to keep in-line with investor demand. Harvest Global Investments Limited is a leading asset manager in China and among the top five global holders of RQFII quota.
  • While there can be no assurance that such an increase will be granted or that any increase will be sufficient to meet investor demand, this interim creation limit is expected to be temporary.
  • When such an increase, if any, is granted, or sufficient redemptions in ASHR allow, ASHR will resume accepting creation units as usual.
  • Redemption orders for ASHR will continue to be accepted in the ordinary course of business as described in ASHR’s prospectus.

Consider each Fund‘s investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other important information can be found in each Fund’s prospectus, which may be obtained by calling 1-855-DBX-ETFS (1-855-329-3837) or by viewing or downloading a prospectus at dbxus.com. Please read it carefully before investing.

DEFINITIONS: A-shares are companies incorporated in China and traded on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.

RISKS: International investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies and funds investing in a single country or in a limited geographic region tend to be more volatile than more diversified funds. Emerging markets, such as China, tend to be more volatile that 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. Any reduction or elimination of access to A-shares will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Funds to achieve their investment objectives. During any period that creations are limited or suspended due to the limited availability of RQFII quota, the Funds could trade at a significant premium or discount to the net asset value and could experience substantial redemptions. The performance of the Funds may differ from that of the Funds’ respective underlying indexes for various reasons, including if a Fund gains exposure to A-shares by investing in securities not included in the applicable underlying index, derivative instruments, and other pooled investment vehicles because the RQFII quota has become inadequate (until additional RQFII quota can be obtained). An investment in these Funds should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the greater risks associated with investments in China. Please read each Fund's prospectus for a more complete discussion of the Fund's risks.
