db X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares Fund (ASHR) Recieves Approval from Chilean Pension Registrar

Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management (“DeAWM”) announced today that db X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares Fund (NYSE ticker: ASHR) (the “Fund”) has been approved for registration by the Comisión Calificadora de Riesgo (CCR) for distribution among Chilean pension funds. Administradoras de Fondos de Pensiones (AFPs) can now utilize the Fund as a registered investment instrument, in order to offer plan participants direct equity exposure to the China A-shares market. ASHR is the first direct investment in China A-shares to be registered in Chile and listed on the NYSE, so that the Fund trades in local time.

“The recent approval of ASHR by the Chilean pension commission is further validation of the interest in the Fund’s innovative exposure, and we believe it will complement our current product suite in Chile,” said Fiona Bassett, Head of Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management’s Passive Business in the Americas. “As the provider of the largest suite of ETFs offering direct access to previously untapped Chinese securities, we are dedicated to offering both domestic and international investors access to one of the most coveted global investment opportunities.”

When it launched in November 2013, ASHR was the first U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) to provide investors with a physical replication of the unique China A-shares market. Since then, DeAWM has added the db X-trackers Harvest MSCI All China Equity Fund (NYSE ticker: CN), the first ETF to provide investors with broad exposure to onshore and offshore Chinese equities through a single fund, and most recently db X-trackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap Fund (NYSE ticker: ASHS), the first U.S.-listed ETF to provide investors with direct access to small cap China A-shares equities, to round out the China A-shares exposure it offers. DeAWM partnered with subadvisor Harvest Global Investments Limited to launch both ASHR and ASHS.

DeAWM’s U.S. exchange-traded products (“ETP”) platform has approximately $11 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2013. The firm’s global ETP platform, launched in 2006, has grown to become the world’s fifth largest, with approximately $63 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2013.

DEFINITIONS: A-shares are companies incorporated in China and traded on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.

RISKS: International investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies and funds investing in a single country or in a limited geographic region tend to be more volatile than more diversified funds. Emerging markets, such as China, tend to be more volatile that the markets of 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. Any reduction or elimination of access to A-shares will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the funds to achieve their investment objectives. 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 Funds which may reduce the Funds returns. An investment in these funds should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the greater risks associated with investments in China. Please read each Fund's prospectus for a more complete discussion of the Fund's risks.
