Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management Increases Creation Limit for ASHR and ASHS

Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management today announced that, effective immediately, the creation limit for Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF (NYSE Arca: ASHR) and Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF (NYSE Arca: ASHS) (each, a “Fund,” together the “Funds”) will both increase from the previous limit of one creation unit per day. ASHR will open to ten creations units each day, and ASHS will open to five creation units each day. The Funds will continue to utilize these new creation units limits for ASHR and ASHS in order to manage the RQFII quota for purchasing China A shares securities. As a result:

  • ASHR will now accept ten creations units each day and ASHS now accept five creation units each day, where each creation unit is comprised of 50,000 shares. This is an increase from the previous limit for each individual fund of one creation unit per day, announced on September 11, 2014.
  • Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management and the Funds’ sub-advisor, Harvest Global Investments Limited, have worked with the Chinese authorities, as well as various other sources, to increase the RQFII quota for the Funds, 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, but there is no assurance that such a future increase will be granted or will be sufficient to meet investor demand.
  • Redemption orders for the Funds will continue to be accepted in the ordinary course of business as described in the Funds’ prospectuses.

RISKS: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Foreign investing involves greaterand different risks than investing in US companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile than the markets or 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. Uncertainties in the Chinese tax rules governing taxation of income and gains from investments in A-shares could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund which may reduce Fund returns. Any reduction or elimination of access to A-shares will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the fund to achieve its investment objective. Performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in this fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the fund.
