(the Funds )

14 March 2018

Reference is made to the notice to shareholders dated 28 February 2018, wherein shareholders were informed of a misstatement in how the Company presented share class performance data for the 2016 performance year in the Key Investor Information Documents ( KIIDs ) for each sub-fund of the Company (the 2016 Share Class Performance Data Misstatement ).

Further to the 2016 Share Class Performance Data Misstatement coming to our attention, we decided it would be prudent to conduct a further review of past performance data and have discovered some additional misstatements which impact the Funds for performance year 2015. Details of these additional misstatements are set out in the Appendix to this notice.

The Appendix also contains details of misstatements in 2016 index performance data in relation to Xtrackers USD Corporate Bond UCITS ETF. In addition to the 2016 Share Class Performance Data Misstatement (where 'gross' share class performance figures were used in place of 'net' share class performance figures), there were inconsistencies in the date range used to calculate both share class performance and index performance for the 2016 performance year. Both share class performance and index performance were calculated based on the period 31 December 2015 to 29 December 2016 rather than 31 December 2015 to 30 December 2016. For consistency, the share class performance and index performance should have been taken up to the last official business day, which was 30 December 2016.

The nature of these misstatements is such that they had no impact on the calculation and publication of the net asset value of the Funds.

We have now corrected the Funds' KIIDs which are available at www.Xtrackers.com .

Please be assured that upon identification of these errors and the 2016 Share Class Performance Data Misstatement, the Company immediately implemented robust measures and enhanced controls to substantially mitigate any risk of reoccurrence.

Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the current Prospectus of the Company unless the context otherwise requires.

Further information in relation to the above may also be obtained from the legal entities mentioned under 'Contact information' below or by sending an email to Xtrackers@db.com .

We thank you for your continuing support of the Company.

Yours sincerely
