Investment strategy	The Fund invests in high quality large and mid-capitalisation stocks with high and persistent dividend income in developed countries in Europe. It seeks to track the performance of the LibertyQ European Dividend Index (the “Underlying Index”) as closely as possible. The Fund aims to replicate the Underlying Index by holding all of its securities in a similar proportion to their weighting in the Underlying Index. The holdings of the Underlying Index are selected from the MSCI Europe IMI ex REITs Index (the “Investment Universe”), using a transparent selection process which applies a dividend persistence and yield screen followed by a quality screen.	The fund is passively managed. The fund promotes environmental and social characteristics and is subject to the disclosure requirements of a financial product in accordance with article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector. More ESG information is available in the sales prospectus and supplement and on the DWS website. The fund aims to reflect the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EMU High Dividend Yield Low Carbon SRI Screened Select Index (index). The index is based on the MSCI EMU Index (Parent Index) which is designed to reflect the performance of certain shares in large and medium listed companies in the European Monetary Union. In order to be eligible for inclusion in the index, shares must be included as constituents within the Parent Index and must meet certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria
