Investing in future technologies and trends

The transition to a more sustainable world is one of the most pressing global challenges that societies, economies and capital markets have faced since the industrial revolution. The 'green' revolution could create new opportunities for investors - in line with their risk profile - to support this transformation. Xtrackers ESG ETFs can help exploit these opportunities.



Emerging markets are undergoing a radical transformation process and often benefit from strong economic growth, which is why they are called 'emerging markets'. Of course, this does not in itself constitute an investment criterion, but in recent years many of these emerging markets have recorded interesting performance.
Investors who have hitherto associated China and Brazil with raw materials or products of low quality and cost, could look more closely at these countries.

Financial Products that pursue an investment policy based on ESG criteria are based on transparency parameters according to Articles 6/8/9 of the Disclosure Regulation (EU) No. 2019/2088 (see link https://funds.dws.com/it-it/informare/temi/Investimenti-sostenibili/Informazioni-sulla-sostenibilita) and based on criteria defined by DWS. There is currently a lack of uniform criteria and a common market standard for assessing and classifying financial products as sustainable. This may lead different external data providers to assess the sustainability of financial products differently. In addition, some sustainability regulations are still being developed, with the possibility that financial products classified as sustainable may not qualify as such in the future or that negative environmental, social, and/or other impacts will occur during the life of the product. For more details on financial products that [promote, among other characteristics, environmental or social characteristics, or a combination of such characteristics/have sustainable investments as an objective] reference should be made to the sustainability disclosure posted at https://www.dws.com/en-it/footer/Legal-Resources/?#SustainabilityRisks and to the offering documents of the promoted fund/sub-fund available, both in electronic and printed format, at www.Xtrackers.it in the Product Disclosure section (https://etf.dws.com/it-it/informativa-prodotti/etf-documenti). The decision to invest in the product should not be based solely on sustainability aspects, but should take into account all the objectives, features and risks described in the product offering documentation.

ADVERTISING MESSAGE WITH PROMOTIONAL PURPOSE - This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of investment. Please review the characteristics of the financial instruments on offer and the risks associated with them, also found in the disclosure made available by Directa ("Pre-contractual disclosure," Section C - Information on financial instruments). ETFs, ETCs and ETNs (ETPs) and Certificates (Certificates) are complex instruments, with a significant risk of loss of invested capital associated with them, and in whose price implicit costs may be included. Directa therefore recommends that you review the product offering documents and the KID/KIID document, which describe the operating methods, costs and risks to which you are exposed by making the investment. The term "leverage" is used to describe investment strategies designed to multiply potential gains and losses. Leveraged investments might be made for the purpose of achieving possible higher returns, however, leverage does not only amplify gains but also possible losses. The investor is also exposed to the risk of early termination of the investment and total loss of the invested capital or even more than the same. The issuer retrocedes a fee to Directa upon execution, which can be classified as an incentive (inducement) under Consob's Intermediary Regulations: for this reason, a conflict of interest could occur.

MESSAGGIO PUBBLICITARIO CON FINALITÀ PROMOZIONALE - Questo annuncio non costituisce un'offerta di vendita o una sollecitazione all'investimento. Si prega di prendere visione delle caratteristiche degli strumenti finanziari in offerta e dei rischi ad esso associati, presenti anche nell'informativa messa a disposizione da Directa ("Informativa pre-contrattuale", Sezione C – Informazioni sugli strumenti finanziari). ETF, ETC e ETN (ETP) e Certificati (Certificates) sono strumenti complessi, cui è associato un rilevante rischio di perdita del capitale investito, e nel cui prezzo possono essere inclusi costi impliciti. Directa consiglia pertanto di prendere visione della documentazione d’offerta dei prodotti e del documento KID/KIID, che descrivono le modalità di funzionamento, i costi ed i rischi a cui ci si espone effettuando l’investimento. L’espressione “leva finanziaria” (leverage) è usata per descrivere strategie di investimento volte a moltiplicare gli utili e le perdite potenziali. Investimenti con leva finanziaria potrebbero essere effettuati con lo scopo di ottenere possibili rendimenti più elevati, tuttavia la leva non amplifica solo i guadagni ma anche le eventuali perdite. L’investitore si trova anche esposto al rischio di estinzione anticipata dell’investimento e di perdita totale del capitale investito o persino superiore allo stesso. L’emittente retrocede a Directa una fee all’eseguito, classificabile come incentivo (inducement) ai sensi del Regolamento Intermediari Consob: per tale ragione, potrebbe verificarsi un conflitto d'interesse.
