| Re: | DBX ETF Trust (File Nos. 333-170122 and 811-22487): Request for Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment Filings |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), DBX ETF Trust (the “Registrant”) hereby respectfully requests the withdrawal of the post-effective amendments listed below and filed to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A, pursuant to the 1933 Act and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Amendments”). Each Amendment relates solely to the Deutsche X-trackers Harvest China Bond ETF (the “Fund”), a separate series of the Registrant.
The Registrant filed the following post-effective amendments relating to the Fund on the dates shown:
| Form Type | Date of Filing | Post-Effective Amendment No. | SEC Accession No. | |||
| 485APOS | July 17, 2014 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 105 | 0001193125-14-270741 | |||
| 485BXT | September 26, 2014 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 132 | 0001193125-14-355017 | |||
| 485BXT | October 27, 2014 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 142 | 0001193125-14-383417 | |||
| 485BXT | November 25, 2014 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 154 | 0001193125-14-424740 | |||
| 485BXT | December 24, 2014 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 169 | 0001193125-14-453423 | |||
| 485BXT | January 22, 2015 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 179 | 0001193125-15-017565 | |||
| 485BXT | February 20, 2015 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 189 | 0001193125-15-056476 | |||
| 485BXT | March 20, 2015 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 204 | 0001193125-15-099980 | |||
| 485BXT | April 17, 2015 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 217 | 0001193125-15-135593 | |||
| 485BXT | May 18, 2015 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 235 | 0001193125-15-192166 | |||
| 485BXT | June 16, 2015 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 249 | 0001193125-15-224558 | |||
| 485BXT | July 15, 2015 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 265 | 0001193125-15-253663 | |||
| 485BXT | August 13, 2015 | Post-Effective Amendment No. 284 | 0001193125-15-289934 | |||
The purpose of the 485APOS filing, filed on July 17, 2014 (Post-Effective Amendment No. 105), was to introduce the Fund as a new series of the Registrant. The twelve 485BXT filings, filed between September 26, 2014 and August 13, 2015 (Post-Effective Amendment Nos. 132, 142, 154, 169, 179, 189, 204, 217, 235, 249, 265 and 284), were filed for the purpose of delaying the effective date of Post-Effective Amendment No. 105. Post-Effective Amendment No. 105 currently is scheduled to become effective on September 12, 2015.
The Registrant is requesting the withdrawal of the Amendments because it has decided to not proceed with the offering of shares of the Fund.
Post-Effective Amendment No. 105 has not yet become effective and no securities were sold in connection with the offering. Accordingly, the Registrant believes its request for withdrawal of the Amendments is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact Laura Flores at (202) 373-6101.
