The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in the components that comprise the Underlying Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (DB or the Index Provider) compiles and maintains the Underlying Index, which measures potential returns of a theoretical portfolio of liquid U.S. dollar-denominated government bonds from emerging market countries. The Underlying Index is composed of one to three securities from each of the countries set forth below that (i) are denominated in U.S. dollars, (ii) are sovereign or quasi-sovereign bonds, (iii) generally have at least three years to maturity at the time of rebalancing, (iv) have an outstanding amount of at least $500 million or greater, and (v) have a fixed coupon. The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Underlying Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a sampling methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.
