Important risk informationAlthough allocation among different asset categories generally limits risk, portfolio management may favor an asset category thatunderperforms other assets or markets as a whole. Bond investments t are subject to interest-rate t t and credit risks. When interest t ratesrise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Investingin derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Dividendsare not guaranteed. If the dividend-paying stocks held by the fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the fund’s ability to generateincome may be adversely affected. Because exchange-traded funds (ETFs) trade on a securities exchange, their shares may trade ata premium or discount to their net asset value. ETFs also incur fees and expenses so they may not fully match the performance of theindexes they are designed to track. Any fund that focuses in a particular segment of the market will generally be more volatile than afund that invests more broadly. Investing in foreign securities, particularly those of emerging markets, presents certain risks, such ascurrency fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks. The fund may lend securities to approved institutions. Smallcompany stocks tend to be more volatile than medium sized or large company stocks. Stocks may decline in value.

<strong>DWS</strong> Global Income Builder FundOverviewPhilosophy:Combine two income diversifiers into one fund managed by two experienced investment teams— A blend of top-down and bottom-up strategies combines global equity and fixed-incomesecurities— Asset allocation: Top-down consideration of asset classes, regions and industries, combined withbottom-up security selection— Equity: Identify attractive dividend-paying stocks— Fixed-income: Identify opportunities across yield curve, credit quality and duration— Potential exposure to asset classes such as:— Dividend-paying stocks— High-yield bonds— Emerging-market market bonds— Global bonds— Mortgage-backed securities— U.S. Treasuries— Floating-rate loans— Municipal bonds— Convertible bondsThe yield curve is a graphical representation of how yields on bonds of different maturities compare. Normally, yield curves slant up, as bonds with longer maturities typically offerhigher yields than short-term bonds. Credit quality is a measure of a bond issuer's ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner. Rating agencies assign letterdesignations such as AAA, AA and so forth. The lower the rating, the higher the probability of default. Credit quality does not remove market risk and is subject to change.Duration measures a bond's or a bond fund's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The values of equity investments are more volatile than those of other securities.Fixed-income investments are subject to interest-rate risk, and their value will decline as interest rates rise.Deutsche Asset& Wealth ManagementInvestment products: No bank guarantee I Not FDIC insured I May lose value6

The index returned a cumulative 1,764% and an average annual 73%from 7.3% 1/31/72 to 6/30/13. Index returns assume reinvestment of alldistributions and do not reflect any fees or expenses.
