This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. To obtain a summary prospectus, if available, or prospectus for any of our funds, visit deutschefunds.com. We advise you to consider the fund's objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The summary prospectus and prospectus contain this and other important information about the fund. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

An investment in this fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or by any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price. You should not rely on or expect the Advisor to enter into support agreements or take other actions to maintain the fund's $1.00 share price. The credit quality of the fund's holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the fund's share price. The fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures and/or illiquid markets. The actions of a few large investors in one class of shares of the fund may have a significant adverse effect on the share prices of all classes of shares of the fund. See the prospectus for specific details regarding the fund's risk profile.

Portfolio Management Review (Unaudited)

Market Overview

All performance information below is historical and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal fluctuate, so your shares may be worth more or less when redeemed. Current performance may differ from performance data shown. Please visit deutscheliquidity.com/US for the fund's most recent month-end performance. The 7-day current yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a 7-day period expressed as an annual percentage rate of the fund's shares outstanding. Yields fluctuate and are not guaranteed.

Investment Objective

The fund seeks to provide a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. The fund is a feeder fund that invests substantially all of its assets in a "master portfolio," the Cash Management Portfolio, which will invest directly in securities and other instruments. The Cash Management Portfolio has the same investment objective as the fund.

Over the 12 months ended December 31, 2015, rate levels within the money market yield curve — including short-term money market rates — fluctuated based on varying economic reports, investors' interest rate expectations, geopolitical uncertainty and evolving U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) statements. In March 2015, the Fed removed the word "patient" from its statement regarding the timing of a possible rate hike. Despite temporary conditions such as the harsh winter weather that many said was to blame for disappointing first-quarter 2015 U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth, in April the Fed anticipated that U.S. economic conditions would improve. A second-quarter rebound in U.S. GDP growth set the stage for a possible rate hike as early as September of 2015. In late August, the focus shifted to China, as news of that country’s economic slowdown spurred additional market volatility. In September, the Fed declined to raise rates, citing concerns over China’s stumbling economy. However, in October the comments by the Fed turned more hawkish, not mentioning China but expressing the desire to raise rates at the next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. This set the stage for short-term rates to rise as markets "priced in" an eventual raising of the federal funds rate by 25 basis points in mid-December.

Fund Performance (as of December 31, 2015) Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. An investment in this fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or by any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price.

* The investment advisor has agreed to waive fees/reimburse expenses. Without such fee waivers/expense reimbursements, the 7-day current yield would have been lower. Yields are historical, will fluctuate and do not guarantee future performance. The 7-day current yield refers to the income paid by the portfolio over a 7-day period expressed as an annual percentage rate of the fund's shares outstanding. Please visit our Web site at deutscheliquidity.com/US for the product's most recent month-end performance.

Positive Contributors to Fund Performance

We were able to maintain a competitive yield for the fund during the annual period ended December 31, 2015. We continued to seek ample liquidity, high credit quality and strong diversification across sectors and geographic regions by maintaining a neutral portfolio duration (or interest rate sensitivity). We pursued this strategy in light of the outlook for continued near-zero short-term interest rates and limited money market supply. In addition, we looked to keep the fund's cash position relatively low in order to take advantage of higher yields available from six-month-to-one-year money market securities.

Negative Contributors to Fund Performance

The types of securities that we were investing in tended to have lower yields than issues carrying more risk. We preferred to be cautious during a time of market uncertainty. In the end this cost the fund some yield, but we believe that this represented a prudent approach to preserving principal.

Outlook and Positioning

Within money markets, we believe the current balance of tight supply and heavy demand will most likely persist. These technical market conditions, along with issues surrounding money market reform, should in our view create a steeper money market yield curve, keeping yields low at the short end of the curve. Our current forecast is for the federal funds rate to be raised two to three additional times during 2016. In preparation, we are maintaining a cautious approach, with a shorter duration, an emphasis on short fixed maturities and floating-rate notes, and increased selectivity regarding longer maturities. Our goal, as always, is to maintain ample liquidity, high credit quality and strong diversification across geographic regions and market sectors.

We continue our insistence on the highest credit quality within the fund. We also plan to maintain our conservative investment strategies and standards under the current market conditions. We continue to apply a careful approach to investing on behalf of the fund and to seek competitive yield for our shareholders.

Portfolio Management Team

A group of investment professionals is responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund. These investment professionals have a broad range of experience managing money market funds.

The views expressed reflect those of the portfolio management team only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The management team's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.

Terms to Know

The 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 offer higher yields than short-term bonds.

GDP, or gross domestic product, is the value of all goods and services produced by a country's economy.

Floating-rate securities are debt instruments with floating-rate coupons that generally reset every 30 to 90 days. While floating-rate loans are senior to equity and fixed-income securities, there is no guaranteed return of principal in case of default. Floating-rate loans often have less interest-rate risk than other fixed-income investments. Floating-rate loans are most often secured assets, generally senior to a company's secured debt and can be transferred to debt holders, providing potential downside potential.

Notes to Financial Statements

A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Cash Reserve Fund — Prime Series (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Cash Reserve Fund, Inc., (the "Corporation") which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company and is organized as a corporation under the laws of the state of Maryland.

The Fund is a feeder fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its investable assets in a master portfolio, the Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act and organized as a New York trust advised by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG. A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder fund"), instead of investing directly in a portfolio of securities, invests most or all of its investment assets in a separate registered investment company (the "master fund") with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the feeder fund. Such a structure permits the pooling of assets of two or more feeder funds, preserving separate identities or distribution channels at the feeder fund level. At December 31, 2015, the Fund owned approximately 5% of the Portfolio.

The Fund offers two classes of shares to investors: Cash Reserve Prime Shares ("Prime Shares") and Cash Reserve Prime Institutional Shares ("Prime Institutional Shares").

Investment income, realized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, were 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. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Investment Portfolio, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.

Security Valuation. The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio at value, which reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. Valuation of the securities held by the Portfolio is discussed in the notes to the Portfolio's financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Disclosure about the classification of fair value measurements is included in a table following the Portfolio's investment Portfolio.

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.

The Fund has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2015 and has determined that no provision for income tax and/or uncertain tax provisions is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal periods/years remain open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly. The Fund may take into account capital gains and losses in its daily dividend declarations. The Fund may also make additional distributions for tax purposes if necessary.

Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book to tax differences for the Fund.

At December 31, 2015, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $ 61,226

In addition, the tax character of the distributions was characterized as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2015	2014
Distributions from ordinary income*	$ 107,467	$ 95,698

* For tax purposes, short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

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. The Fund receives an allocation of the Portfolio's net investment income and net realized gains and losses in proportion to its investment in the Portfolio. Expenses directly attributed to a fund are charged to that fund, while expenses which are attributable to the Corporation are allocated among the Funds in the Corporation on the basis of relative net assets.

B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

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 serves as the investment manager to the Fund. The Advisor receives a management fee from the Portfolio pursuant to the master/feeder structure listed above in Note A.

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 period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, the Advisor has agreed to voluntarily waive additional expenses. The waiver may be changed or terminated at any time without notice. Under this arrangement, the Advisor waived certain expenses of the Fund.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Administration Fee was $859,400, of which $345,186 was waived and $76,025 is unpaid.

Service Provider Fees. DeAWM Service Company ("DSC"), 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 DSC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"). DSC has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent functions to DST. DSC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the amounts charged to the Fund by DSC were as follows:

	Total Aggregated	Waived	Unpaid at December 31, 2015
Prime Shares	$ 398,597	$ 368,742	$ 29,855
Prime Institutional Shares	23,988	23,988	—
	$ 422,585	$ 392,730	$ 29,855

Distribution and Service Fees. DeAWM Distributors, Inc. ("DDI") is the Fund's Distributor. The Fund pays the Distributor an annual fee, pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan, based on its average daily net assets, which is calculated daily and payable monthly at 0.25% of Prime Shares average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Distribution Fee was as follows:

	Total Aggregated	Waived	Annual Effective Rate
Prime Shares	$ 1,487,606	$ 1,487,606	.00%

The Fund pays the Distributor a shareholder servicing fee based on the average daily net assets which is calculated daily and paid monthly at a rate of 0.07% of Prime Shares. The Distributor uses this fee to compensate third parties that provide shareholder services to their clients who own shares. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the shareholder servicing fee was as follows:

	Total Aggregated	Waived	Annual Effective Rate
Prime Shares	$ 416,530	$ 416,530	.00%

Typesetting and Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DIMA, DIMA is compensated for providing typesetting and certain regulatory filing services to the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the amount charged to the Fund by DIMA included in Statement of Operations under "Reports to shareholders" aggregated $19,415, of which $7,818 is unpaid.

Directors' Fees and Expenses. The Fund paid retainer fees to each Director not affiliated with the Advisor, plus specified amounts to the Board Chairperson and Vice Chairperson and to each committee Chairperson.

D. Additional Information

Effective on or about May 2, 2016, the Fund will operate as a government money market fund under the amendments to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that were adopted in July 2014 with final compliance dates ranging between July 2015 and October 2016. As currently structured, on the final compliance date for the Rule 2a-7 amendments, the Fund would be required to implement a floating net asset value and would be allowed, and in certain situations, required, to implement liquidity fees and/or redemption gates. As a government money market fund, the Fund will continue to seek to maintain a stable $1.00 net asset value (although the Fund will seek to maintain a $1.00 net asset value, there is no guarantee that it will be able to do so and if the net asset value falls below $1.00, you would lose money) and the Fund will not be required to implement liquidity fees and/or redemption gates. As a government money market fund, the Fund will invest at least 99.5% of the Fund’s total assets in cash, US government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by these same securities.

In order for the Fund to operate as a government money market fund, shareholders approved revisions to the Fund’s fundamental investment policy relating to concentration (the "Concentration Policy") such that the Fund would no longer be required to invest more than 25% of its total assets in obligations of banks and other financial institutions. If not revised, the current Concentration Policy would have precluded the Fund from operating as a government money market fund. The Fund is a "feeder" fund that pursues its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in a "master portfolio," the Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), under a master-feeder structure. The Portfolio invests directly in securities and other instruments and the Fund has the same investment objective and policies as the Portfolio. Effective on or about May 2, 2016, the Portfolio will also operate as a government money market fund.

In addition to the revised Concentration Policy, the following changes to the Fund for it to operate as a government money market fund will also take effect on May 2, 2016:

(i) A revised investment objective, as follows:

"The fund seeks maximum current income to the extent consistent with stability of principal."

(ii) The adoption of a principal investment strategy to invest at least 99.5% of the Fund’s total assets in cash, government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by these same securities.

(iii) Name changes, as follows:

Current Name	New Name
Cash Management Portfolio	Government Cash Management Portfolio

(iv) The adoption of a principal investment strategy to invest at least 80% of net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by government securities; and

(v) A reduction in the management fee rate paid by the Portfolio to DIMA, the investment advisor to the Fund and the Portfolio. Pursuant to the master-feeder structure noted above, DIMA receives a management fee from the Portfolio.

To ensure an orderly transition to a government money market fund, DIMA anticipates that it will begin to gradually implement changes to the Portfolio beginning in the first quarter of 2016. As a result, it is expected that the Portfolio gradually will allocate a larger percentage of its assets to government securities over time until it reaches its new allocation on or about May 2, 2016. Because the yields on government securities generally may be expected to be lower than the yields on comparable non-government securities, it should be expected that the Fund's yield may decrease as more assets are invested in government securities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Cash Reserve Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of Cash Reserve Fund — Prime Series:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cash Reserve Fund — Prime Series (the "Fund") at December 31, 2015, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2015 by correspondence with the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include 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. In the most recent six-month period, the Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. 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 (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015).

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. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Tax Information (Unaudited)

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio'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 Portfolio'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. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2015 in valuing the Portfolio's investments. For information on the Portfolio's policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note A in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Assets	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total

Notes to Financial Statements

A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company organized as a New York trust.

The Portfolio is a master fund. A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder fund"), instead of investing directly in a portfolio of securities, invests most or all of its investment assets in a separate registered investment company (the "master fund") with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the feeder fund. Such a structure permits the pooling of assets of two or more feeder funds, preserving separate identities or distribution channels at the feeder fund level. The Portfolio may have several feeder funds, including affiliated Deutsche feeder funds and unaffiliated feeder funds; with a significant ownership percentage of the Portfolio's net assets. Investment activities of these feeder funds could have a material impact on the Portfolio. As of December 31, 2015, Cash Management Fund, Cash Reserves Fund Institutional, Cash Reserves Fund — Prime Series and Deutsche Money Market Series owned approximately 12%, 11%, 5% and 69%, respectively, of the Portfolio.

The Portfolio'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 Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio'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 Portfolio'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. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.

The Portfolio values all securities utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization rate to maturity of any discount or premium. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.

Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Portfolio, through its custodian or a sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The custodian bank or another designated subcustodian holds the collateral in a separate account until the agreement matures. If the value of the securities falls below the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest, the financial institution deposits additional collateral by the following business day. If the financial institution either fails to deposit the required additional collateral or fails to repurchase the securities as agreed, the Portfolio has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Portfolio's claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

As of December 31, 2015, the Portfolio held repurchase agreements with a gross value of $4,386,250,000. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at period end. The detail of the related collateral is included in the footnotes following the Portfolio's Investment Portfolio.

Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio is considered a Partnership under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is necessary.

It is intended that the Portfolio's assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code, assuming that the investor invested all of its assets in the Portfolio.

The Portfolio has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2015 and has determined that no provision for income tax and/or uncertain tax provisions is required in the Portfolio's financial statements. The Portfolio's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

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

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

The Portfolio makes an allocation of its net investment income and realized gains and losses from securities transactions to its investors in proportion to their investment in the Portfolio.

B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

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 determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Portfolio.

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

First $3.0 billion of the Portfolio's average daily net assets	.1500%
Next $4.5 billion of such net assets	.1325%
Over $7.5 billion of such net assets	.1200%

For the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the total annual operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest) at 0.14% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. This voluntary waiver or reimbursement may be terminated at any time at the option of the Advisor.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Advisor waived a portion of its management fee aggregating $4,944,455, and the amount charged aggregated $20,093,052, which was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.10%.

Administration Fee. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, DIMA provides most administrative services to the Portfolio. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Portfolio pays the Advisor an annual fee ("Administration Fee") of 0.03% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Administration Fee was $5,893,752, of which $511,827 is unpaid.

Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DIMA, DIMA is compensated for providing certain regulatory filing services to the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the amount charged to the Portfolio by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "Reports to shareholders" aggregated $516, all of which is unpaid.

Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Portfolio paid retainer fees to each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor, plus specified amounts to the Board Chairperson and Vice Chairperson and to each committee Chairperson.

Transactions with Affiliates. The Fund may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is solely due to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common trustees. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $308,260,000 and securities sales of $286,435,000 with an affiliated fund in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act.

C. Line of Credit

The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $400 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. The Portfolio 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 the one-month LIBOR exceeds the Federal Funds Rate, the amount of such excess. The Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. The Portfolio had no outstanding loans at December 31, 2015.

D. Additional Information

Effective on or about May 2, 2016, the Portfolio will operate as a government money market fund under the amendments to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that were adopted in July 2014 with final compliance dates ranging between July 2015 and October 2016. As currently structured, on the final compliance date for the Rule 2a-7 amendments, the Portfolio would be required to implement a floating net asset value and would be allowed, and in certain situations, required, to implement liquidity fees and/or redemption gates. As a government money market fund, the Portfolio will continue to utilize amortized cost to value its securities and the Portfolio will not be required to implement liquidity fees and/or redemption gates. As a government money market fund, the Portfolio will invest at least 99.5% of the Portfolio’s total assets in cash, US government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by these same securities.

In order for the Portfolio to operate as a government money market fund, shareholders approved revisions to the Portfolio’s fundamental investment policy relating to concentration (the "Concentration Policy") such that the Portfolio would no longer be required to invest more than 25% of its total assets in obligations of banks and other financial institutions. If not revised, the current Concentration Policy would have precluded the Portfolio from operating as a government money market fund.

In addition to the revised Concentration Policy, the following changes to the Portfolio for it to operate as a government money market fund will also take effect on May 2, 2016:

(i) A revised investment objective, as follows:

"The fund seeks maximum current income to the extent consistent with stability of principal."

(ii) The adoption of a principal investment strategy to invest at least 99.5% of the Portfolio’s total assets in cash, government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by these same securities.

(iii) Name changes as follows:

Current Name	New Name
Cash Management Portfolio	Government Cash Management Portfolio

(iv) The adoption of a principal investment strategy to invest at least 80% of net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralize by government securities; and

(v) A reduction in the management fee rate paid by the Portfolio to DIMA, the investment advisor to the Portfolio. Pursuant to the master-feeder structure noted above, DIMA receives a management fee from the Portfolio. The revised management fee rate schedule is set forth below:

Current Management Fee Rate Schedule		Revised Management Fee Rate Schedule
Average Daily Assets	Management Fee Rate	Average Daily Assets	Management Fee Rate
First $3 Billion	.1500%	First $3 Billion	.1200%
Next $4.5 Billion	.1325%	Next $4.5 Billion	.1025%
Over $7.5 Billion	.1200%	Over $7.5 Billion	.0900%

To ensure an orderly transition to a government money market fund, DIMA anticipates that it will begin to gradually implement changes to the Portfolio beginning in the first quarter of 2016. As a result, it is expected that the Portfolio gradually will allocate a larger percentage of its assets to government securities over time until it reaches its new allocation on or about May 2, 2016. Because the yields on government securities generally may be expected to be lower than the yields on comparable non-government securities, it should be expected that the Portfolio’s yield may decrease as more assets are invested in government securities.

The Portfolio also held a meeting of its shareholders on December 21, 2015, which was adjourned until, and reconvened on, January 28, 2016. At the meeting of the Portfolio, each feeder fund also approved the revised fundamental investment policy relating to concentration on behalf of the Portfolio.

Advisory Agreement Board Considerations and Fee Evaluation

Cash Reserve Fund – Prime Series (the "Fund"), a series of Cash Reserve Fund, Inc., invests substantially all of its assets in Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio") in order to achieve its investment objective. The Portfolio’s Board of Trustees approved the renewal of the Portfolio’s investment management agreement (the "Portfolio Agreement") with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA") and the Fund’s Board of Directors (which consists of the same members as the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio) approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment management agreement with DIMA (the "Fund Agreement," and together with the Portfolio Agreement, the "Agreements") in September 2015. The Portfolio’s Board of Trustees and the Fund’s Board of Directors are collectively referred to as the "Board."

In terms of the process that the Board followed prior to approving the Agreements, shareholders should know that:

— In September 2015, all of the Portfolio’s Trustees and the Fund’s Directors were independent of DIMA and its affiliates.

— The Board met frequently during the past year to discuss fund matters and dedicated a substantial amount of time to contract review matters. Over the course of several months, the Board’s Contract Committee reviewed comprehensive materials received from DIMA, independent third parties and independent counsel. These materials included an analysis of performance, fees and expenses, and profitability from a fee consultant retained by the Portfolio’s and the Fund’s Independent Trustees/Directors (the "Fee Consultant"). The Board also received extensive information throughout the year regarding performance of the Portfolio and the Fund.

— The Independent Trustees/Directors regularly meet privately with counsel to discuss contract review and other matters. In addition, the Independent Trustees/Directors were advised by the Fee Consultant in the course of their review of the Portfolio’s and the Fund’s contractual arrangements and considered a comprehensive report prepared by the Fee Consultant in connection with their deliberations.

— In connection with reviewing the Agreements, the Board also reviewed the terms of the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 plan, distribution agreement, administrative services agreement, transfer agency agreement and other material service agreements.

— Based on its evaluation of the information provided, the Contract Committee presented its findings and recommendations to the Board. The Board then reviewed the Contract Committee’s findings and recommendations.

In connection with the contract review process, the Contract Committee and the Board considered the factors discussed below, among others. The Board also considered that DIMA and its predecessors have managed the Portfolio and the Fund since their inception, and the Board believes that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious advisor is in the best interests of the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board considered, generally, that shareholders chose to invest or remain invested in the Fund knowing that DIMA managed the Portfolio and the Fund, and that the Fund Agreement was approved by the Fund’s shareholders. DIMA is part of Deutsche Bank AG’s ("Deutsche Bank") Asset and Wealth Management ("Deutsche AWM") division. Deutsche AWM is a global asset management business that offers a wide range of investing expertise and resources, including research capabilities in many countries throughout the world. Deutsche Bank has advised the Independent Trustees that the U.S. asset management business continues to be a critical and integral part of Deutsche Bank, and that Deutsche Bank will continue to make significant investments in Deutsche AWM, including ongoing enhancements to Deutsche AWM’s investment platform. Deutsche Bank also has confirmed its commitment to maintaining strong legal and compliance groups within the Deutsche AWM division.

As part of the contract review process, the Board carefully considered the fees and expenses of each Deutsche fund overseen by the Board in light of the fund’s performance. In many cases, this led to the negotiation and implementation of expense caps. As part of these negotiations, the Board indicated that it would consider relaxing these caps in future years following sustained improvements in performance, among other considerations.

While shareholders may focus primarily on fund performance and fees, the Board considers these and many other factors, including the quality and integrity of DIMA’s personnel and such other issues as back-office operations, fund valuations, and compliance policies and procedures.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered the terms of the Agreements, including the scope of advisory services provided under the Agreements. The Board noted that, under the Agreements, DIMA provides portfolio management services to the Portfolio and the Fund and that, pursuant to separate administrative services agreements, DIMA provides administrative services to the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management and investment personnel, the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of DIMA to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of DIMA. The Board reviewed the Portfolio’s and the Fund’s performance over short-term and long-term periods and compared those returns to various agreed-upon performance measures, including a peer universe compiled using information supplied by iMoneyNet, an independent fund data service. The Board also noted that it has put into place a process of identifying "Focus Funds" (e.g., funds performing poorly relative to a peer universe), and receives additional reporting from DIMA regarding such funds and, where appropriate, DIMA’s plans to address underperformance. The Board believes this process is an effective manner of identifying and addressing underperforming funds. Based on the information provided, the Board noted that for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2014, the Fund’s gross performance (Cash Reserve Prime Institutional Shares) was in the 3rd quartile of the applicable iMoneyNet universe (the 1st quartile being the best performers and the 4th quartile being the worst performers).

Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the Portfolio’s and the Fund’s investment management fee schedules and the Fund’s operating expenses and total expense ratios, and comparative information provided by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper") and the Fee Consultant regarding investment management fee rates paid to other investment advisors by similar funds (1st quartile being the most favorable and 4th quartile being the least favorable). With respect to management fees paid to other investment advisors by similar funds, the Board noted that the contractual fee rates paid by the Portfolio and the Fund, which include 0.03% and 0.10% fees paid to DIMA under the respective administrative services agreements, were higher than the median (3rd quartile) of the applicable Lipper peer group (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2014). The Board considered that the Portfolio’s management fee would be reduced by 0.03% at all breakpoint levels if shareholders approve a proposal that would result in the Portfolio and the Fund being restructured into government money market funds. The Board noted that, although shareholders of the Fund indirectly bear the Portfolio’s management fee, the Fund does not charge an additional investment management fee. Based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2014, the Board noted that the Fund’s total (net) operating expenses, which include Portfolio expenses allocated to the Fund, were approximately the same as the median of the applicable Lipper expense universe for the Cash Reserve Prime Institutional Shares (3rd quartile) and Cash Reserve Prime Shares (3rd quartile). The Board noted the significant voluntary fee waivers implemented by DIMA to ensure the Fund maintained a positive yield. The Board considered the management fee rate as compared to fees charged by DIMA to comparable Deutsche U.S. registered funds ("Deutsche Funds") and considered differences between the Portfolio and the Fund and the comparable Deutsche Funds. The information requested by the Board as part of its review of fees and expenses also included information about institutional accounts (including any sub-advised funds and accounts) and funds offered primarily to European investors ("Deutsche Europe funds") managed by Deutsche AWM. The Board noted that DIMA indicated that Deutsche AWM does not manage any institutional accounts or Deutsche Europe funds comparable to the Portfolio or the Fund.

On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that management fees were reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by DIMA.

Profitability. The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by DIMA under the Agreements. The Board considered the estimated costs and pre-tax profits realized by DIMA from advising the Deutsche Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of DIMA and its affiliates with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board and the Fee Consultant reviewed DIMA’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the pre-tax profits realized by DIMA in connection with the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. The Board also reviewed certain publicly available information regarding the profitability of certain similar investment management firms. The Board noted that while information regarding the profitability of such firms is limited (and in some cases is not necessarily prepared on a comparable basis), DIMA and its affiliates’ overall profitability with respect to the Deutsche Funds (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by DIMA and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of most comparable firms for which such data was available.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolio and the Fund and whether the Portfolio and the Fund benefit from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s and the Fund’s investment management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Portfolio’s and the Fund’s fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between the Portfolio and the Fund and DIMA of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Portfolio and the Fund at current asset levels.

Other Benefits to DIMA and Its Affiliates. The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by DIMA and its affiliates, including any fees received by DIMA for administrative services provided to the Portfolio and the Fund and any fees received by an affiliate of DIMA for distribution services. The Board also considered benefits to DIMA related to brokerage and soft-dollar allocations, including allocating brokerage to pay for research generated by parties other than the executing broker dealers, which pertain primarily to funds investing in equity securities, along with the incidental public relations benefits to DIMA related to Deutsche Funds advertising and cross-selling opportunities among DIMA products and services. The Board considered these benefits in reaching its conclusion that the Fund’s management fees were reasonable.

Compliance. The Board considered the significant attention and resources dedicated by DIMA to documenting and enhancing its compliance processes in recent years. The Board noted in particular (i) the experience and seniority of the individual serving as DIMA’s and the Fund’s chief compliance officer; (ii) the large number of DIMA compliance personnel; and (iii) the substantial commitment of resources by DIMA and its affiliates to compliance matters.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board unanimously determined that the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of the Portfolio and the Fund. In making this determination, the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor identified above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, certain of which were in executive session with only the Independent Trustees/Directors and counsel present. It is possible that individual Trustees/Directors may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the continuation of the Agreements.
