*\** *Non-income producing security.* 

*(a)* *Investment was valued using significant unobservable inputs.*

*(b)* *The Fund may purchase securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale ("restricted securities"). Restricted* *securities are securities which have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of* *1933. The Fund may be unable to sell a restricted security and it may be more difficult to determine a market value for a* *restricted security. Moreover, if adverse market conditions were to develop during the period between the Fund's decision to sell a* *restricted security and the point at which the Fund is permitted or able to sell such security, the Fund might obtain a price less* *favorable than the price that prevailed when it decided to sell. This investment practice, therefore, could have the effect of* *increasing the level of illiquidity of the Fund. The future value of these securities is uncertain and there may be changes in the* *estimated value of these securities.*

***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 level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.*

*The following is a summary of the inputs used as of January 31, 2023 in valuing the Fund's investments.*

**OBTAIN AN OPEN-END FUND PROSPECTUS**

**To obtain a summary prospectus, if available, or prospectus, download one from fundsus.dws.com, talk to your financial representative or call (800) 728-3337. We advise you to carefully consider the product's objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. The summary prospectus and prospectus contain this and other important information about the investment product. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.**

**CLOSED-END FUNDS**

Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.
