Official Investment Strategy

In today’s low-yielding interest rate environment, investors searching for additional sources of income may consider a high-dividend yield approach. High-dividend yielding strategies seek exposure to companies with higher-than-average dividend yields relative to their market-cap-weighted counterparts with the goal of capital preservation and potential long-term capital appreciation. Deutsche X-trackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Hedged Equity ETF seeks to give investors exposure to high-quality international equities across developed market countries (ex. the U.S. and Canada), and provide an alternative, potentially reliable income stream on a currency-hedged basis.
