At a meeting held on August 13, 2024, the Board of Trustees of DBX ETF Trust approved reductions in each fund's unitary advisory fee as stated below. At the same time, the Board terminated contractual expense limitations and DBX Advisors, LLC terminated its voluntary fee waiver, in each case that limited a fund's operating expenses at those same levels because of the redundancy. The reductions in the unitary advisory fee and the termination of each expense limitation or fee waiver are effective immediately.
As a result, each fund's Statement of Additional Information is revised as follows:
All references to contractual expense limitations or voluntary fee waivers for the fund are hereby deleted.
