Performance SummaryMay 31, 2009

Classes A, B, C and Institutional Class

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and
capital gain distributions, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return
and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when
redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Please visit
www.dws-investments.com for the Fund's most recent month-end performance.

The maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.75%. For Class B shares, the
maximum contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is 4% within the first year after
purchase, declining to 0% after six years. Class C shares have no front-end sales
charge but redemptions within one year of purchase may be subject to a CDSC of
1%. Unadjusted returns do not reflect sales charges and would have been lower if
they had. Institutional Class shares are not subject to sales charges.

The total annual fund operating expense ratios, gross of any fee waivers or expense
reimbursements, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated March 6, 2009
are 1.01%, 1.84%, 1.77% and 0.57% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional
Class shares, respectively. Please see the Information About Your Fund's Expenses,
the Financial Highlights and Notes to the Financial Statements (Note C, Related
Parties) sections of this report for gross and net expense related disclosure for the
period ended May 31, 2009.

To discourage short-term trading, the Fund imposed a 2% redemption fee on
shareholders redeeming shares held less than 15 days, which had the effect of
lowering total return.

Returns and rankings for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods shown for Class A,
Class B, Class C and for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and Life of Class for Institutional Class
shares reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this
waiver/reimbursement, returns and rankings would have been lower.

Performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on
fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Returns and rankings may differ by
share class.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses

As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses
and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees,
distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of
transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and
account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The
following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses
(in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses
with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The example
in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning
of the six-month period and held for the entire period(December 1, 2008 to
May 31, 2009).

The tables illustrate your Fund's expenses in two ways:

•    Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of
ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000
investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period.
To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your
account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided
by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the
"Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

•    Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's
ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual
funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of
return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5%
hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other
mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be
used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you
paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight
your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The
"Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing
ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total
expense of owning different funds. An account maintenance fee of $6.25
per quarter for Class S shares may apply for certain accounts whose
balances do not meet the applicable minimum initial investment. This fee is
not included in these tables. If it was, the estimate of expenses paid for
Class S shares during the period would be higher, and account value during
the period would be lower, by this amount.

Fair Value Measurements

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
"Fair Value Measurements," establishes a three-tier hierarchy for measuring fair value and
requires additional disclosure about the classification of fair value measurements.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are
summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical
securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes
significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair
value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund's
investments. For information on the Fund's policy regarding the valuation of investments,
please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note A in the accompanying Notes to the
Financial Statements.

|Valuation Inputs | Investments in
Securities
|---------------- | -------------------------
|Level 1          | $       1,754,501,030    
|Level 2          | 33,512,788               
|Level 3          | 

Notes to Financial Statements(Unaudited)

A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

DWS Large Cap Value Fund (the ``Fund'') is a diversified series of DWS Value
Series, Inc. (the ``Corporation'') which is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the ``1940 Act''), as an open-end
management investment company organized as a Maryland corporation.

The Fund offers multiple classes of shares which provide investors with
different purchase options. Class A shares are offered to investors subject to
an initial sales charge. Class B shares are offered without an initial sales
charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and
a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions. Class
B shares automatically convert to Class A shares six years after issuance.
Class C shares are offered to investors without an initial sales charge and
are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a
contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions within
one year of purchase.Class C shares do not automatically convert into
another class. Institutional Class shares are offered to a limited group of
investors, are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges and
have lower ongoing expenses than other classes. Class S shares are not
subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges and are generally not
available to new investors except under certain circumstances.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain
fund-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, are borne pro rata on
the basis of relative net assets by the holders of all classes of shares,
except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as
distribution and service fees, services to shareholders and certain other
class-specific expenses. Differences in class-level expenses may result in
payment of different per share dividends by class. All shares of the Fund
have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific
arrangements.

The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require
the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the
Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. Investments are stated at value determined as of the
close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the
exchange is open for trading. Equity securities are valued at the most recent
sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (US or foreign) or
over-the-counter market on which the security is traded most extensively.
Securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean
between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market
or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation.

Money market instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity
of sixty days or less, maturing at par, are valued at amortized cost.
Investments in open-end investment companies and Cash Management QP
Trust are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily
available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to
reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair
value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the
Directors. In accordance with the Fund's valuation procedures, factors used
in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the
security, the size of the holding, the initial cost of the security, the existence
of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition, the price and
extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable
companies, quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing
services, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the
appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of
the company's financial statements, an evaluation of the forces that
influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased
and sold and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon,
creditworthiness, currency denomination, and the movement of the market
in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these
procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In April 2009, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4,
"Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the
Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions
That Are Not Orderly" ("FSP 157-4"). FSP 157-4 provides additional
guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," when the
volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly
decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a
transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim
periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently reviewing the
enhanced disclosure requirements for the adoption of FSP 157-4.

Foreign Currency Translations.The books and records of the Fund are
maintained in US dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at
the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of
investment securities, income and expenses are translated into US dollars at
the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency
transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement
dates on securities transactions, the disposition of forward foreign currency
exchange contracts and foreign currencies, and the difference between the
amount of net investment income accrued and the US dollar amount
actually received. That portion of both realized and unrealized gains and
losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates is not separately disclosed but is included with net realized
and unrealized gain/appreciation and loss/depreciation on investments.

Securities Lending. The Fund may lend securities to financial institutions.
The Fund retains beneficial ownership of the securities it has loaned and
continues to receive interest and dividends paid by the issuer of securities
and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Fund requires
the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Fund
consisting of liquid, unencumbered assets having a value at least equal to
the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified
amounts, the lending agents will use their best efforts to obtain additional
collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the
security lending agreement. The Fund may invest the cash collateral into a
joint trading account in an affiliated money market fund pursuant to
Exemptive Orders issued by the SEC. The Fund receives compensation for
lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on
invested cash collateral net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending
agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan. There may
be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in
the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The Fund
is also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of
any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit
and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

Derivatives. The Fund has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 161 ("FAS 161"), "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," effective at the beginning of the Fund's
fiscal year. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosure about the Fund's derivative
and hedging activities. The disclosure on futures below includes additional
information as a result of adopting FAS 161.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between a buyer or
seller and an established futures exchange or its clearinghouse in which
the buyer or seller agrees to take or make a delivery of a specific amount
of a financial instrument at a specified price on a specific date (settlement
date). The Fund is subject to equity risk. The Fund may enter into futures
contracts as an economical means of gaining exposure to a particular
asset class or to keep cash on hand to meet shareholder redemptions or
other needs, while maintaining exposure to the market.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with
a financial intermediary an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain
percentage of the face value indicated in the futures contract. Subsequent
payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the Fund
dependent upon the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying
security and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized
gains or losses by the Fund. Since all futures contracts are exchange
traded, counterparty risk is minimized as the exchange's clearing house
acts as the counterparty, and guarantees the futures against default.
When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or
loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract to
sell and the futures contract to buy. Futures contracts are valued at the
most recent settlement price.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts, including the
risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the Fund's ability to close
out a futures contract prior to the settlement date and that a change in the
value of a futures contract may not correlate exactly with the changes in
the value of the securities hedged. When utilizing futures contracts to
hedge, the Fund gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable price
movements in the hedged positions during the term of the contract. Risk
of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities.

There were no futures contracts outstanding as of May 31, 2009. During the
six months ended May 31, 2009, the Fund had transactions in equity futures
contracts having a face value of less than five percent of the Fund's net
assets. The realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations for
transactions in equity contracts recorded during the six months ended May
31, 2009 was $(47,930).

Federal Income Taxes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to
regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income
to its shareholders.

At November 30, 2008, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss
carryforward of approximately $108,572,000. This amount includes
$9,863,000 inherited from its merger with DWS Equity Partners Fund during
the year. This amount may be applied against any realized net taxable capital
gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until November 30, 2015
($9,863,000) and November 30, 2016 ($98,709,000), the respective
expiration dates, whichever occurs first, subject to certain limitations under
Sections 381-384 of the Internal Revenue Code.

In addition, from November 1, 2008 through November 30, 2008, the Fund
incurred approximately $31,947,000 of net realized capital losses. As
permitted by tax regulations, the Fund intends to elect to defer these losses
and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009.

The Fund has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of
November 30, 2008 and has determined that no provision for income tax is
required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns
for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal
Revenue Service.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund, if
any, is declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. Net realized gains
from investment transactions, in excess of available capital loss
carryforwards, would be taxable to the Fund if not distributed, and,
therefore, will be distributed to shareholders at least annually.

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains
distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax
regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. These differences primarily relate to certain
securities sold at a loss. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net
realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may
differ significantly from distributions during such period. Accordingly, the
Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital
accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Fund.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end
of the current fiscal year.

Redemption Fees. During the period, the Fund imposed a redemption fee of
2% of the total redemption amount on the Fund shares redeemed or
exchanged within 15 days of buying them, either by purchase or exchange.
This fee was assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the
remaining shareholders. The redemption fee was accounted for as an
addition to paid-in capital. The Fund will no longer impose the 2%
redemption fee on Fund shares acquired (either by purchase or exchange) on
or after June 1, 2009.

Expenses. Expenses of the Corporation arising in connection with a specific
fund are allocated to that fund. Other Corporation expenses which cannot
be directly attributed to a fund are apportioned among the funds in the
Corporation.

Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into
contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification
clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the
Fund that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Fund
expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one
basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting
purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date net of foreign withholding taxes. Realized gains and losses
from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

B. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the six months ended May 31, 2009, purchases and sales of
investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated
$681,441,268 and $675,174,776, respectively.

C. Related Parties

Management Agreement. Under the Investment Management Agreement
with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the
"Advisor") an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the
Advisor directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with its
investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the
securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be
purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund or delegates such
responsibilities to the Fund's subadvisor.

Pursuant to a written contract, Deutsche Asset Management International
GmbH ("DeAMi"), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as subadvisor with
respect to investment and reinvestment of assets of the Fund. The Advisor
compensates DeAMi out of the management fee it receives from the Fund.

Under the Investment Management Agreement with the Advisor, the Fund
pays a monthly management fee based on the Fund's average daily net
assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at the following
annual rates:

|First $1.5 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets | .425%
|--------------------------------------------------------- | -----
|Next $500 million of such net assets                      | .400%
|Next $1 billion of such net assets                        | .375%
|Next $1 billion of such net assets                        | .350%
|Next $1 billion of such net assets                        | .325%
|Over $5 billion of such net assets                        | .300%

Accordingly, for the six months ended May 31, 2009, the fee pursuant to the
Investment Management Agreement was equivalent to an annualized
effective rate of 0.425% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Administration Fee. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement,
DIMA provides most administrative services to the Fund. For all services
provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Fund pays the
Advisor an annual fee ("Administration Fee") of 0.10% of the Fund's average
daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the
six months ended May 31, 2009, the Administration Fee was $624,416, of
which $116,025 is unpaid.

Service Provider Fees. DWS Investments Service Company ("DISC"), an
affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and
shareholder service agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency
agreement between DISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), DISC has
delegated certain transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder
service agent functions to DST. DISC compensates DST out of the
shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Fund. For the six months
ended May 31, 2009, the amounts charged to the Fund by DISC were as
follows:

|Services to Shareholders | Total

Distribution and Service Fees. Under the Fund's Class B and Class C 12b-1
Plans, DWS Investments Distributors, Inc. ("DIDI"), an affiliate of the
Advisor, receives a fee ("Distribution Fee") of 0.75% of average daily net
assets of each of Class B and C shares. In accordance with the Fund's
Underwriting and Distribution Services Agreement, DIDI enters into related
selling group agreements with various firms at various rates for sales of
Class B and C shares. For the six months ended May 31, 2009, the
Distribution Fee was as follows:

|Distribution Fee | Total

In addition, DIDI provides information and administrative services for a fee
("Service Fee") to Class A, B and C shareholders at an annual rate of up to
0.25% of average daily net assets for each such class. DIDI in turn has
various agreements with financial services firms that provide these services
and pays these fees based upon the assets of shareholder accounts the
firms service. For the six months ended May 31, 2009, the Service Fee was
as follows:

|Service Fee | Total

Underwriting Agreement and Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. DIDI is
the principal underwriter for the Fund. Underwriting commissions paid in
connection with the distribution of Class A shares for the six months ended
May 31, 2009 aggregated $11,154.

In addition, DIDI receives any contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC")
from Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of purchase and
Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of purchase. There is
no such charge upon redemption of any share appreciation or reinvested
dividends. The CDSC is based on declining rates ranging from 4% to 1% for
Class B and 1% for Class C, of the value of the shares redeemed. For the
six months ended May 31, 2009 the CDSC for Class B and C shares
aggregated $17,332 and $1,841, respectively. A deferred sales charge of up
to 1% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares. For the six

services and for the Board Chairperson.

Cash Management QP Trust.Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
SEC, the Fund may invest in the Cash Management QP Trust (the
``QP Trust'') and other affiliated funds managed by the Advisor. The QP Trust
seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the
preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The QP Trust does
not pay the Advisor a management fee for the affiliated funds' investments
in the QP Trust.

D. Fee Reductions

The Fund has entered into an arrangement with its custodian whereby
credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a
portion of the Fund's custodian expenses. During the six months ended May
31, 2009, the Fund's custodian fee was reduced by $6 for custodian credits
earned.

E. Line of Credit

The Fund and other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a
$450 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. The
Fund may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes, including the
meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely
disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual
commitment fee which is allocated based on net assets, among each of the
Participants. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of
the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25 percent plus if LIBOR exceeds the Federal
Funds Rate the amount of such excess. The Fund may borrow up to a
maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement.

G. Acquisition of Assets

On November 14, 2008, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of DWS
Equity Partners Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by
shareholders on October 21, 2008. The acquisition was accomplished by a
tax-free exchange of 5,878,555 Class A shares, 195,447 Class B shares,
268,335 Class C shares and 1,444,414 Institutional Class shares of DWS
Equity Partners Fund for 4,764,337 Class A shares, 140,164 Class B shares,
192,565 Class C shares and 1,183,339 Institutional Class shares of the Fund,
respectively, outstanding on November 14, 2008. DWS Equity Partners
Fund's net assets at that date, $80,480,092, including $16,632,562 of net

Summary of Management Fee Evaluation by
Independent Fee Consultant

October 24, 2008

Pursuant to an Order entered into by Deutsche Investment Management
Americas and affiliates (collectively, "DeAM") with the Attorney General of
New York, I, Thomas H. Mack, have been appointed the Independent Fee
Consultant for the DWS Funds (formerly the DWS Scudder Funds). My
duties include preparing an annual written evaluation of the management
fees DeAM charges the Funds, considering among other factors the
management fees charged by other mutual fund companies for like
services, management fees DeAM charges other clients for like services,
DeAM's costs of supplying services under the management agreements
and related profit margins, possible economies of scale if a Fund grows
larger, and the nature and quality of DeAM's services, including fund
performance. This report summarizes my evaluation for 2008, including my
qualifications, the evaluation process for each of the DWS Funds,
consideration of certain complex-level factors, and my conclusions. I served
in substantially the same capacity in 2007.

Qualifications

For more than 35 years I have served in various professional capacities
within the investment management business. I have held investment
analysis and advisory positions, including securities analyst, portfolio
strategist and director of investment policy with a large investment firm. I
have also performed business management functions, including business
development, financial management and marketing research and analysis.

Since 1991, I have been an independent consultant within the asset
management industry. I have provided services to over 125 client
organizations, including investment managers, mutual fund boards, product
distributors and related organizations. Over the past ten years I have
completed a number of assignments for mutual fund boards, specifically
including assisting boards with management contract renewal.

I hold a Master of Business Administration degree, with highest honors,
from Harvard University and Master of Science and Bachelor of Science
(highest honors) degrees from the University of California at Berkeley. I am
an independent director and audit committee financial expert for two
closed-end mutual funds, serve on the board of directors of a private market
research company, and have served in various leadership and financial
oversight capacities with non-profit organizations.

Evaluation of Fees for each DWS Fund

My work focused primarily on evaluating, fund-by-fund, the fees charged to
each of the 129 Fund portfolios in the DWS Fund family. For each Fund, I
considered each of the key factors mentioned above, as well as any other
relevant information. In doing so I worked closely with the Funds'
Independent Directors in their annual contract renewal process, as well as in
their approval of contracts for several new funds (documented separately).

In evaluating each Fund's fees, I reviewed comprehensive materials provided
by or on behalf of DeAM, including expense information prepared by Lipper
Analytical, comparative performance information, profitability data, manager
histories, and other materials. I also accessed certain additional information
from the Lipper, Strategic Insight, and Morningstar databases and drew on
my industry knowledge and experience.

To facilitate evaluating this considerable body of information, I prepared for
each Fund a document summarizing the key data elements in each area as
well as additional analytics discussed below. This made it possible to
consider each key data element in the context of the others.

In the course of contract renewal, DeAM agreed to implement a number of
fee and expense adjustments requested by the Independent Directors
which will favorably impact future fees and expenses, and my evaluation
includes the effects of these changes.

Fees and Expenses Compared with Other Funds

The competitive fee and expense evaluation for each fund focused on two
primary comparisons:

The Fund's contractual management fee (the advisory fee plus the
administration fee where applicable) compared with those of a group
of typically 12-15 funds in the same Lipper investment category
(e.g. Large Capitalization Growth) having similar distribution arrangements
and being of similar size.

The Fund's total expenses compared with a broader universe of funds
from the same Lipper investment category and having similar distribution
arrangements.

These two comparisons provide a view of not only the level of the fee
compared with funds of similar scale but also the total expense the Fund
bears for all the services it receives, in comparison with the investment
choices available in the Fund's investment category and distribution channel.
The principal figure-of-merit used in these comparisons was the subject
Fund's percentile ranking against peers.

DeAM's Fees for Similar Services to Others

DeAM provided management fee schedules for all of its US domiciled fund
and non-fund investment management accounts in any of the investment
categories where there is a DWS Fund. These similar products included the
other DWS Funds, non-fund pooled accounts, institutional accounts and
sub-advisory accounts. Using this information, I calculated for each Fund the
fee that would be charged to each similar product, at the subject Fund's
asset level.

Evaluating information regarding non-fund products is difficult because there
are varying levels of services required for different types of accounts, with
mutual funds generally requiring considerably more regulatory and
administrative types of service as well as having more frequent cash flows
than other types of accounts. Also, while mutual fund fees for similar fund
products can be expected to be similar, there will be some differences due
to different pricing conditions in different distribution channels (e.g. retail
funds versus those used in variable insurance products), differences in
underlying investment processes and other factors.

Costs and Profit Margins

DeAM provided a detailed profitability analysis for each Fund. After making
some adjustments so that the presentation would be more comparable to
the available industry figures, I reviewed profit margins from investment
management alone, from investment management plus other fund services
(excluding distribution) provided to the Funds by DeAM (principally
shareholder services), and DeAM profits from all sources, including
distribution. A later section comments on overall profitability.

Economies of Scale

Economies of scale  an expected decline in management cost per dollar
of fund assets as fund assets grow  are very rarely quantified and
documented because of inherent difficulties in collecting and analyzing
relevant data. However, in virtually every investment category that I
reviewed, larger funds tend to have lower fees and lower total expenses
than smaller funds. To see how each DWS Fund compares with this industry
observation, I reviewed:

The trend in Fund assets over the last five years and the accompanying
trend in total expenses. This shows if the Fund has grown and, if so,
whether total expense (management fees as well as other expenses)
have declined as a percent of assets.

Whether the Fund has break-points in its management fee schedule, the
extent of the fee reduction built into the schedule and the asset levels
where the breaks take effect, and in the case of a sub-advised Fund how
the Fund's break-points compare with those of the sub-advisory fee
schedule.

How the Fund's contractual fee schedule compares with trends in the
industry data. To accomplish this, I constructed a chart showing how
actual latest-fiscal-year contractual fees of the Fund and of other similar
funds relate to average fund assets, with the subject Fund's contractual
fee schedule superimposed.

Quality of Service  Performance

The quality-of-service evaluation focused on investment performance, which
is the principal result of the investment management service. Each Fund's
performance was reviewed over the past 1, 3, 5 and 10 years, as applicable,
and compared with that of other funds in the same investment category and
with a suitable market index.

In addition, I calculated and reviewed risk-adjusted returns relative to an
index of similar mutual funds' returns and a suitable market index. The
risk-adjusted returns analysis provides a way of determining the extent to
which the Fund's return comparisons are mainly the product of investment
value-added (or lack thereof) or alternatively taking considerably more or less
risk than is typical in its investment category.

I also received and considered the history of portfolio manager changes for
each Fund, as this provided an important context for evaluating the
performance results.

Complex-Level Considerations

While this evaluation was conducted mainly at the individual fund level,
there are some issues relating to the reasonableness of fees that can
alternatively be considered across the whole fund complex:

I reviewed DeAM's profitability analysis for all DWS Funds, with a view
toward determining if the allocation procedures used were reasonable
and how profit levels compared with public data for other investment
managers.

I considered whether DeAM and affiliates receive any significant ancillary
or "fall-out" benefits that should be considered in interpreting the direct
profitability results. These would be situations where serving as the
investment manager of the Funds is beneficial to another part of the
Deutsche Bank organization.

I considered how aggregated DWS Fund expenses had varied over the
years, by asset class and in the context of trends in asset levels.

I reviewed the structure of the DeAM organization, trends in staffing
levels, and information on compensation of investment management and
other professionals compared with industry data.

Findings

Based on the process and analysis discussed above, which included
reviewing a wide range of information from management and external data
sources and considering among other factors the fees DeAM charges other
clients, the fees charged by other fund managers, DeAM's costs and profits
associated with managing the Funds, economies of scale, possible fall-out
benefits, and the nature and quality of services provided, in my opinion the
management fees charged the DWS Funds are reasonable.

Summary of Administrative Fee Evaluation
by Independent Fee Consultant

September 29, 2008

Pursuant to an Order entered into by Deutsche Asset Management (DeAM)
with the Attorney General of New York, I, Thomas H. Mack, have been
appointed the Independent Fee Consultant for the DWS Funds and have as
part of my duties evaluated the reasonableness of the proposed
management fees to be charged by DeAM to the DWS Funds, taking onto
account a proposal to pass through to the funds certain fund
accounting-related charges in connection with new regulatory requirements.
My evaluation considered the following:

•    While the proposal would alter the services to be provided under the
Administration Agreement, which I consider to be part of fund
management under the Order, it is my opinion that the change in
services is slight and that the scope of prospective services under the
combination of the Advisory and Administration Agreements continues
to be comparable with those typically provided to competitive funds
under their management agreements.

•    While the proposal would increase fund expenses, according to a pro
forma analysis performed by management, the prospective effect is less
than .01% for all but seven of the DeAM Funds' 438 active share
classes, and in all cases the effect is less than .03% and overall
expenses would remain reasonable in my opinion.

Based on the foregoing considerations, in my opinion the fees and expenses
for all of the DWS Funds will remain reasonable if the Directors adopt this
proposal.
