Supplement to the Currently Effective Prospectuses and Statements of

Additional Information of the Funds

Deutsche Bank AG reorganized its asset management division, Deutsche Asset Management, into a separate financial services firm, DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS Group”). DWS Group recently completed the sale of a minority ownership interest to third party investors as part of a public offering listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (there will be no public offering of the securities in the United States) and is now a separate, publicly-listed financial services firm but remains an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG.

In this context, the Funds’ investment adviser, DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX”) and its U.S. investment advisory affiliates became indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of DWS Group.

Effective immediately, the references to Deutsche Asset Management in each Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) are now replaced with DWS (“DWS”). DWS continues the business of Deutsche Asset Management and represents the asset management activities conducted by DWS Group or any of its subsidiaries, including DBX and the other affiliated investment advisors. DWS is a global organization that offers a wide range of investing expertise and resources, including hundreds of portfolio managers and analysts and an office network that reaches the world’s major investment centers. This well-resourced global investment platform brings together a wide variety of experience and investment insight across industries, regions, asset classes and investing styles.

The following sentence is added to “Investment Advisory, Administrative and Distribution Services – Portfolio Managers – Portfolio Manager Compensation” section of each Fund’s SAI (except for Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF and Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF):

DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA is currently evaluating its compensation policies and procedures following the recent restructuring of Deutsche Bank’s asset management division.
