The level of revenue sharing payments made to financial representatives may be a fixed
fee or based upon one or more of the following factors: gross sales, current assets and/or number of accounts of each
fund attributable to the financial representative, the particular fund or fund type or other measures as agreed to by the Advisor, the
Distributor and/or their affiliates and the financial representatives or any combination thereof. The amount of these
payments is determined at the discretion of the Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates from time to time, may be
substantial, and may be different for different financial representatives based on, for example, the nature of the services
provided by the financial representative.
The Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates currently make revenue sharing
payments from their own assets in connection with the sale and/or distribution of DWS fund shares or the retention and/or servicing
of investors to financial representatives in amounts that generally range from 0.01% up to 0.25% of assets of each fund serviced
and maintained by the financial representative, 0.05% to 0.25% of sales of each fund attributable to the financial
representative, a flat fee of up to $95,000, or any combination thereof. These amounts are annual figures typically paid on a quarterly
basis and are subject to change at the discretion of the Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates. Receipt
of, or the prospect of receiving, this additional compensation may influence your financial representative’s recommendation of each
fund or of any particular share class of each fund. You should review your financial representative’s compensation disclosure
and/or talk to your financial representative to obtain more information on how this compensation may have influenced your financial
representative’s recommendation of each fund. Additional information regarding these revenue sharing payments is included
in each fund’s Statement of Additional Information, which is available to you on request at no charge (see the back cover
of this prospectus for more information on how to request a copy of the Statement of Additional Information).
The Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates may also make such revenue sharing
payments to financial representatives under the terms discussed above in connection with the distribution of both DWS funds
and non-DWS funds by financial representatives to retirement plans that obtain recordkeeping services from ADP, Inc.
or to 403(b) plans that obtain recordkeeping services from Ascensus, Inc. on the DWS-branded retirement plan platform (the “Platform”). The level of revenue sharing payments is based upon sales of both the DWS funds and the non-DWS funds by the financial
representative on the Platform or current assets of both the DWS funds and the non-DWS funds serviced and maintained
by the financial representative on the Platform.
It is likely that broker-dealers that execute portfolio transactions for each fund
will include firms that also sell shares of the DWS funds to their customers. However, the Advisor will not consider sales of DWS
fund shares as a factor in the selection of broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the DWS funds. Accordingly,
the Advisor has implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent its traders from considering sales of
DWS fund shares as a factor in the selection of broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for each fund. In addition,
the Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates will not use fund brokerage to pay for their obligation to provide
additional compensation to financial representatives as described above.
