Xtrackers S&P 500 GARP UCITS ETF 1C

The fund is passively managed. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance of the S&P 500 GARP 100 Index (index) which is designed to reflect the performance of large capitalisation US companies that exhibit high growth characteristics. DESCRIPTION OF INDEX: The index aims to measure the performance of the top 100 growth companies with high quality and value characteristics from the S&P 500 Index (Parent Index). Companies from the Parent Index which meet certain eligibility criteria, including but not limited to having a “Growth Score”, a “Quality & Value Composite Score”, and a trading history will constitute the eligible universe (Eligible Universe). Companies from the Eligible Universe are initially ranked by order of their Growth Score (based on sustained earnings-per share growth and/or sustained sales-per-share growth) and the highest ranking 200 companies are selected. Subsequently, these companies are ranked by order of their Quality & Value Composite Score (based on earnings to price ratio, and financial leverage ratio and/or return on equity), and the highest-ranking companies are selected for inclusion in the index until a target count of 100 companies is reached. INDEX REBALANCING, CALCULATION AND ADMINISTRATION: The index is calculated on a total return net basis which means that all dividends and distributions by the companies are reinvested in the shares after tax. The composition of the index is reviewed on a semi-annual basis. INVESTMENT POLICY: To achieve the aim, the fund will attempt to replicate the index, before fees and expenses, by buying all or a substantial number of the securities in the index. The fund may employ techniques and instruments in order to manage risk, reduce costs and improve results. These techniques and instruments may include the use of financial contracts (derivatives).
