This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. To obtain a prospectus for any of our funds, refer to the Account Management Resources information provided in the back of this booklet. We advise you to consider the fund's objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the fund. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Investments in mutual funds involve risk. Some funds have more risk than others. The fund invests in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate, so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. Additionally, investing in foreign securities and emerging markets presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes, and market risks. The fund may invest in lower-quality and nonrated securities, which present greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher-quality securities. Derivatives could produce disproportionate losses due to a variety of factors, including the unwillingness or inability of the counterparty to meet its obligations or unexpected price or interest-rate movements. All of these factors may result in greater share price volatility. Please read the prospectus for specific details regarding the fund's risk profile.

Performance Summary October 31, 2006

Classes A, B, C and Institutional

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-scudder.com for the Fund's most recent month-end performance.

The maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. 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 adjustment for front-end sales charges 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.

To discourage short-term trading, the Fund imposes a 2% redemption fee on shareholders redeeming shares held less than 60 days, which has the effect of lowering total return.

Returns and rankings during all periods shown 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.

On July 10, 2006, the fund was reorganized from DWS High Income Plus Fund, a series of DWS Investments Trust (the "Predecessor Fund"), into DWS High Income Plus Fund, a newly created series of the DWS Advisor Funds. This change in the legal entity had no economic impact relative to accounting or tax. Performance shown prior to July 10, 2006 is derived from the historical performance of the Predecessor Fund.

Returns shown for Class A, B and C shares for the periods prior to their inception on May 16, 2005, are derived from the historical performance of the Institutional Class shares of DWS High Income Plus Fund during such periods and have been adjusted to reflect the higher gross total annual operating expenses of each specific class. Any difference in expenses will affect performance.

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 each 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 (May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006).

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.

In the following interview, Portfolio Manager Gary Sullivan discusses the DWS High Income Plus Fund's strategy and the market environment during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2006.

Q: How did the high-yield bond market perform during the period?

A: High-yield bonds delivered a strong return on both an absolute and a relative basis during the past year. The fund's benchmark, the Credit Suisse High Yield Index, returned 10.29% for the annual period. In comparison, the broader bond market — as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index — returned 5.19%.¹

Although bouts of volatility periodically affected the performance of the high-yield market, the investment backdrop remained broadly positive. Economic growth, while appearing to moderate throughout the course of the year, remained on a solid footing. High-yield companies were able to maintain their sound financial positions as a result, and this was reflected in a continuation of the low default rate. As of October 31, 2006, Moody's 12-month rolling default rate stood at 1.71%, compared with 1.91% a year ago. Comparatively, the average default rate since 1986 is about 4.93%.² The ratio of rating upgrades to downgrades also remained intact — another indication of the market's solid fundamentals.³ On the technical side, the high-yield asset category remained supported by the low level of supply coming into the market at a time when demand remained firm.

¹ The Credit Suisse High Yield Index is an unmanaged, trader-priced portfolio constructed to mirror the global high-yield debt market. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index represents US domestic taxable investment-grade bonds that include securities from the following sectors: US Treasuries, agencies, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed bonds and asset-backed securities. The index includes more than 5,500 publicly issued securities with a minimum one year to final maturity and $150 million par amount outstanding. The average maturity and duration of the index is in the intermediate range. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike fund returns, do not include fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

² Source: Moody's Investors Service.

³ Bond ratings are the alphabetical designations indicating the credit quality of a particular bond, as measured by the major agencies. Treasuries, which are backed by the government and therefore free of default risk, are ranked AAA. The riskiest bonds are generally rated CCC and below.

Taken together, these factors helped keep high-yield spreads at a relatively low level.⁴ Spreads touched near-historic lows in mid-May, but increased in subsequent months as US Treasuries embarked on a powerful rally and outperformed high-yield in the process. At the close of the period, the yield spread stood at 357 basis points (3.57 percentage points), lower than the 393 level of a year earlier.

⁴ The long-term historical spread-to-worst average is based upon the average monthly spread-to-worst of the Credit Suisse High-Yield Index from January 31, 1986 to October 31, 2006. The yield spread is the difference between the yield of a given fixed-income asset class and the yield on Treasuries. A large spread indicates that investors require yields substantially above those of Treasuries in order to invest in high-yield bonds. This is generally indicative of a higher-risk environment. A smaller spread generally indicates a more positive environment, since investors are less concerned about risk and therefore willing to accept lower yields.

⁵ Lipper's High Current Yield Funds category represents funds that aim at a high (relative) current yield from fixed-income securities, have no quality or maturity restrictions and tend to invest in lower-grade debt issues. The Class A shares of the fund ranked 186 of 448 funds for the one-year period as of October 31, 2006. Its Institutional shares ranked 144, 36 and 61 for the one-, three- and five-year periods. There were 448, 387 and 311 funds in Lipper's High Current Yield Funds category for the one-, three- and five-year periods. Performance includes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and is no guarantee of future results. Source: Lipper Inc. as of October 31, 2006. Category returns assume reinvestment of all distributions. It is not possible to invest directly into a Lipper category.

Q: How did the fund perform?

A: The fund's Class A shares returned 9.38%, below the 10.29% return of the benchmark but ahead of the 9.18% average return of the 448 funds in its Lipper peer group, High Current Yield Funds category. (Returns are unadjusted for sales charges. If sales charges had been included, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Please see pages 4 through 10 for the performance of other share classes and more complete performance information.)

The fund's oldest share class, its Institutional shares, has outpaced the Lipper peer group over the one-, three- and five-year periods. It ranks in the top 10% of funds for the three-year period, and in the top 20% of funds over the five-year period.⁵

Q: What individual securities helped performance?

A: A strong contribution to relative performance came from the fund's security selection. In terms of individual securities, top contributors included General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC), North Atlantic Trading Company and Charter Communications Holdings LLC. An overweight position in emerging market securities, such as Argentina, also helped relative performance.⁶

⁶ "Overweight" means the fund holds a higher weighting in a given sector or security than the benchmark. "Underweight" means the fund holds a lower weighting.

GMAC's bonds outperformed largely due to the announcement, in April 2006, that the company's parent — General Motors — would sell a majority stake in the company. Closure of the sale is targeted for year-end, and we are maintaining an overweight position in GMAC based on our opinion that the bonds continue to offer good relative value. GMAC is one of the fund's largest positions, so the strong performance of its bonds had a meaningful impact on performance. The tobacco producer North Atlantic Trading Company reported improved operating results as a result of its decision to discontinue its planned launch of a new cigarette brand, an initiative that was pressuring the company's financial margins. The prospect of improving finances for the company helped lift its bond prices higher. Charter Communications Holdings LLC offered investors the chance to exchange some of their current bond holdings for new securities that would have a better position within the company's capital structure. Given our longer-term view that the Charter bonds the fund owns have a higher intrinsic value than the price that was offered in the exchange offer, we did not participate in this exchange. However, the exchange offer lifted the company's bond prices — benefiting the fund accordingly. Finally, emerging-market debt remained supported by robust investor demand, rising commodity prices and the strong economic fundamentals of many emerging countries. In particular, Argentina's sovereign bond price increased as a result of the recent debt restructuring and the overall political and economic stability within the country.

Q: What investments detracted from performance?

A: The fund's positions in Tembec Industries, Inc. and Georgia Pacific detracted from relative performance.* In addition, underweight positions in L-3 Communications Corp. and our non-holding of Federal-Mogul — two companies whose bonds outperformed the index — also dampened relative returns.

Tembec, a forest products/paper company, traded lower as cost pressures caused earnings to fall short of prior estimates. Additionally, the company's bonds traded further down in price as seasonal investment reduced the company's liquidity and contributed to negative press speculating about the potential for a future bankruptcy. We have since reduced the portfolio's exposure in Tembec to an underweight. Georgia Pacific, also a forest products/paper company, was acquired through a leveraged buy-out (LBO) at the end of 2005. This action led to an increase in the company's debt load.⁷ Georgia Pacific, originally an investment-grade company that was downgraded to non-investment grade, has been one of the fund's larger holdings for some time and has been a positive contributor to relative performance over past periods. Prior to the LBO, we believed the company was on course to regain its investment-grade status, but the LBO appeared to end the possibility of an upgrade in the near term.

* As of October 31, 2006, the position in Georgia Pacific was sold.

** As of October 31, 2006, the position in Global Crossing UK was sold.

⁷ A leveraged buyout, or LBO, is the takeover of a company using borrowed money. The target company's assets often serve as collateral.

L-3 Communications' bond prices increased following its decision to restructure its businesses in an effort to boost profit margins. However, we saw better risk-adjusted value in Global Crossing UK**, another company within the telecommunications industry, and this caused the fund to hold an underweight in L-3. As a result, we were not able to fully participate in the rally. Similarly, an underweight in Federal-Mogul, an auto parts supplier whose bonds rallied along with strength in the auto sector as a whole, detracted from relative performance.

Q: Outside of individual security selection, what factors helped and hurt performance?

A: Throughout the course of the year, we continued to take opportunities to position the fund in a more defensive manner. First, we allowed its average credit quality to drift higher. From a short-term perspective, this shift weighed on the fund's results because of the way performance was distributed among tiers during the past year. Lower-quality securities (CCC/split CCC/default) were the best-performing credit-quality segment for the period, returning 17.48%, followed by middle-tier (split BB/B/split B) and upper-tier securities (split BBB/BB), which returned 10.27% and 7.06%, respectively (as compared with the 10.29% for the overall asset class).

Second, given the flat yield curve, we believed that longer-maturity bonds did not offer the most attractive risk-adjusted relative value, and we therefore took opportunities to invest in shorter-maturity, more defensive bonds whenever possible.⁸ This strategy resulted in a shorter (lower) duration position versus the benchmark and helped performance during the earlier part of the period, when bond yields were rising, but it weighed on performance amidst the rally in longer-term debt during the end of the fiscal year.⁹

⁸ A "flat" yield curve occurs when longer-term bonds pay roughly the same yield as shorter-term bonds.

⁹ Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity. A portfolio with a longer, or higher, duration than the benchmark should outperform when bond prices are rising and yields falling. A portfolio with a shorter, or lower, duration should outperform when prices are falling and yields rising.

It is worth emphasizing that both of these strategies were implemented with a longer-term view in mind. Although the fundamentals of the high-yield market remain sound at the present time, it is likely that, over time, defaults will begin to rise from their record-low levels. As a result, we believe our shift to a more defensive posture will result in strong risk-adjusted returns over the long term.

Q: What is your view on the current state of the high-yield market?

A: While we remain positive on the fundamental backdrop of the high-yield market, it is possible that a "reversion to the mean" could occur in terms of the historically low levels of both default rates and yield spreads. As a result, we will continue to look for bonds with attractive risk-adjusted relative values. We will continue to look for stable credits where we can generate yield but at the same time minimize the potential of principal loss. Overall, we remain focused on adding value by emphasizing fundamental research and individual security analysis.

Notes to Financial Statements

A. Significant Accounting Policies

DWS High Income Plus Fund (formerly Scudder High Income Plus Fund) (the "Fund") is a diversified series of DWS Advisor Funds (the "Trust") which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment management company. The Trust is organized as a business trust under the laws of the state of Delaware. On July 10, 2006, DWS High Income Plus Fund became a series of DWS Advisor Funds. Prior to July 10, 2006, DWS High Income Plus Fund was a series of DWS Investments Trust.

The Fund currently 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 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 within one year of purchase. Class C shares do not 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 no longer available to new investors except under certain circumstances. Class S shares are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges. Premier Class shares were offered to a limited group of investors. Shares of Premier Class were converted to Institutional Class on August 18, 2006. Investment Class shares were converted to Class S shares on October 20, 2006. Shares of Class AARP were designed for members of AARP (please see Note C, under the caption Other Related Parties).

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 fees, service fees 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. Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Trustees of the Funds. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, the securities are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from a broker-dealer. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes.

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 Trustees.

In September 2006, FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of October 31, 2006, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the statement of operations for a fiscal period.

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 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. The Fund may invest the cash collateral into a joint trading account in an affiliated money market fund pursuant to an Exemptive Order 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 the lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan. The Fund is subject to all investment risks associated with the value of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a contract between a buyer and a seller of protection against a pre-defined credit event. The Fund may buy or sell credit default swap contracts to seek to increase the Fund's income, to add leverage to the portfolio, or to hedge the risk of default on portfolio securities. As a seller in the credit default swap contract, the Fund would be required to pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of the referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by a third party, such as a US or foreign corporate issuer, on the debt obligation, which would likely result in a loss to the Fund. In return, the Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the Fund would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations. The Fund may also buy credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities, in which case the Fund would function as the counterparty referenced above. This would involve the risk that the contract may expire worthless. It would also involve credit risk — that the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Fund in the event of a default. When the Fund sells a credit default swap contract it will "cover" its commitment. This may be achieved by, among other methods, maintaining cash or liquid assets equal to the aggregate notional value of the underlying debt obligations for all outstanding credit default swap contracts sold by the Fund.

Credit default swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from the counterparty and the change in value, if any, is recorded daily as unrealized gain or loss. An upfront payment made by the Fund, is recorded as an asset on the statement of assets and liabilities. An upfront payment received by the Fund, is recorded as a liability on the statement of assets and liabilities. Under the terms of the credit default swap contracts, the Fund receives or makes payments semiannually based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount. These payments are recorded as a realized gain or loss on the statement of operations. Payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized, net of a proportional amount of the upfront payment, as realized gains or losses.

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 gains and losses on investment securities.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. A forward foreign currency exchange contract ("forward currency contract") is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign currency denominated portfolio holdings and to facilitate transactions in foreign currency denominated securities.

Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and unrealized gain (loss) is recorded daily. Sales and purchases of forward currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any gain (loss) is realized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is realized on settlement date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses which represent the difference between the value of a forward currency contract to buy and a forward currency contract to sell are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency related transactions.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Additionally, when utilizing forward currency contracts to hedge, the Fund gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract.

Short Sales. The Fund may sell securities it does not own in an attempt to profit from an anticipated decline in its value or in order to hedge portfolio positions. The Fund borrows securities to complete the transaction. The Fund maintains collateral with the lender of the securities in the form of cash and/or liquid securities. At October 31, 2006, there were no securities sold short.

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. Accordingly, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provisions were required.

At October 31, 2006, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $88,664,000, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until October 31, 2007 ($5,043,000), October 31, 2008 ($12,891,000), October 31, 2009 ($31,238,000), October 31, 2010 ($32,488,000), October 31,2011 ($3,345,000),October 31, 2014 ($3,659,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first, which maybe subject to certain limitations under Sections 382-383 of the Internal Revenue Code.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (the "Interpretation"). The Interpretation establishes for the Fund a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether the Fund is taxable in certain jurisdictions), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has begun to evaluate the application of the Interpretation to the Fund and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Fund's financial statements.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund is declared daily and distributed monthly. 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 relate primarily to securities sold at a loss and forward foreign currency commitments. 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.

At October 31, 2006, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income*	$ 1,298,209
Capital loss carryforwards	$ (88,664,000)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments	$ (2,045,551)

In addition, during the year ended October 31, 2006, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund is summarized as follows:

	Years Ended October 31,
	2006	2005
Distributions from ordinary income*	$ 31,453,039	$ 19,552,404
Distributions from long-term capital gains	$ —	$ 215,739

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

Redemption Fees. The Fund imposes a redemption fee of 2% of the total redemption amount on all Fund shares redeemed or exchanged within 60 days of buying them, either by purchase or exchange. This fee is assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.

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's that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Fund's 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 security transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Other income including commitment fees, included in the Statement of Operations, is recorded as income when received by the Fund. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.

B. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the year ended October 31, 2006, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments and US Treasury Obligations) aggregated $391,266,882 and $372,409,219, respectively. Purchase and sales of US Treasury Obligations aggregated $2,040,074 and $3,512,730, respectively.

Effective October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007, the Advisor and Administrator have contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses of the Fund (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest and organizational and offering expenses) to the extent necessary to maintain the annual expenses of each class as follows:

Accordingly, for the year ended October 31, 2006, the Advisor waived a portion of its investment advisory fee pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement aggregating $671,702 and the amount charged aggregated $1,303,892 which was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.33% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Administrator Service Fee. Prior to June 1, 2006, DeAM, Inc. received a Fee (the "Administrator Service Fee") of 0.19%, 0.20%, 0.20%, 0.17%, 0.17%, 0.12%, 0.12% and 0.10% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B, C, AARP, S, Investment Class, Institutional Class and Premier Class shares, respectively, of the average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly.

For the period from November 1, 2005 through May 31, 2006, the Administrator Service Fee was as follows:

Administrator Service Fee	Total Aggregated	Waived	Annualized Effective Rate
Class A	$ 27,335	$ —	.19%

Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DWS-SISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), DWS-SISC has delegated certain transfer agent and dividend-paying agent functions to DST. DWS-SISC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Fund. Prior to June 1, 2006, this fee was included in the Administrator Service Agreement. For the period from June 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006, the amounts charged to the Fund by DWS-SISC were as follows:

Service Provider Fee	Total Aggregated	Waived	Unpaid at October 31, 2006

Distribution Service Agreement. Under the Distribution Service Agreement, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, DWS Scudder Distributors, Inc. ("DWS-SDI"), an affiliate of the Advisor, receives a fee ("Distribution Fee") of 0.75% of average daily net assets of the Class B and C shares. Pursuant to the agreement, DWS-SDI enters into related selling group agreements with various firms at various rates for sales of Class B and C shares. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Distribution Fee was as follows:

In addition, DWS-SDI or an affiliate provides information and administrative services ("Shareholder Servicing Fee") to the shareholders of Class A, B, C and Investment Class (until October 20, 2006) at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets for each such class. DWS-SDI or an affiliate 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 year ended October 31, 2006, the Shareholder Servicing Fee was as follows:

Shareholder Servicing Fee	Total Aggregated	Unpaid at October 31, 2006	Annual Effective Rate
Class A	$ 54,830	$ 14,609	.21%
Class B	15,950	567	.25%
Class C	24,535	5,201	.25%
Investment Class	255,722	110,557	.23%
	$ 351,037	$ 130,934

Underwriting Agreement and Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. DWS-SDI is the principal underwriter for the Fund. Underwriting commissions paid in connection with the distribution of Class A shares of the Fund for the year ended October 31, 2006 aggregated $20,428.

In addition, DWS-SDI 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 year ended October 31, 2006, the CDSC for Class B and C shares aggregated $21,895 and $4,204, respectively. A deferred sales charge of up to 0.85% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A. For the year ended October 31, 2006, DWS-SDI received $355 for Class A shares.

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 its Advisor a management fee for the affiliated funds' investments in the QP Trust.

Typesetting and Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DeIM, DeIM is compensated for providing typesetting and certain regulatory filing services to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the amount charged to the Fund by DeIM included in reports to shareholders aggregated $31,360, of which $8,520 is unpaid.

Trustees' Fees and Expenses. As compensation for his or her services, each Independent Trustee receives an aggregated annual fee, plus a fee for each meeting attended (plus reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his or her attendance at board and committee meetings) from each fund in the Fund Complex for which he or she serves. In addition, the Chairman of the Board and the Chairman of each committee of the Board receive additional compensation for their services. Payment of such fees and expenses is allocated among all such funds described above in direct proportion to their relative net assets.

Other Related Parties. Through December 31, 2005, AARP through its affiliate, AARP Services, Inc., monitored and approved the AARP Investment Program from DWS Scudder, but did not act as an investment advisor or recommend specific mutual funds. The contractual relationship between DWS Scudder and AARP ended on December 31, 2005. As a result, the funds are no longer part of the AARP Investment Program and the AARP name and logo were phased out in 2006.

D. Investing in High Yield Securities

Investing in high yield securities may involve greater risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in US Government bonds and other high quality fixed-income securities. These securities are non-investment grade securities, often referred to as "junk bonds." Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high yield securities may be less liquid due to the extent that there is no established retail secondary market and because of a decline in the value of such securities.

E. Expense Reductions

For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Advisor reimbursed the Fund $18,729, which represented a portion of the expected fee savings for the Advisor through May 31, 2006, related to the outsourcing by the Advisor of certain administrative services to an unaffiliated service provider.

In addition, 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 custodian expenses. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the custodian agent fee was reduced by $2,593 for custody credits earned.

G. Credit Facility

The Fund has a revolving credit facility for investment leveraging purposes as approved by the Trustees to be administered by Bank of America, N.A. not to exceed $25 million at any one time which is available until October 11, 2007. The Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 20% of its net assets under the agreement. The Fund is charged an annual commitment fee. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR Rate plus 0.625 percent. At October 31, 2006, there were no loans outstanding.

H. In-Kind Redemption

In certain circumstances, the Fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities exceeds their cost; the Fund recognizes a loss if cost exceeds value. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes, and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the year ended October 31, 2005, the Fund realized $469,153 of net gain attributable to in-kind redemptions.

I. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

Regulatory Settlements. On December 21, 2006, Deutsche Asset Management ("DeAM") settled proceedings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Attorney General on behalf of Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DeAM, Inc.") and Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM"), the investment advisors to many of the DWS Scudder funds, regarding allegations of improper trading at DeAM and at the legacy Scudder and Kemper organizations prior to their acquisition by DeAM in April 2002. These regulators alleged that although the prospectuses for certain funds in the regulators' view indicated that the funds did not permit market timing, DeAM, Inc. and DeIM breached their fiduciary duty to those funds in that their efforts to limit trading activity in the funds were not effective at certain times. The regulators also alleged that DeAM, Inc. and DeIM breached their fiduciary duty to certain funds by entering into certain market timing arrangements with investors. These trading arrangements originated in businesses that existed prior to the currently constituted DeAM organization, which came together as a result of various mergers of the legacy Scudder, Kemper and Deutsche fund groups, and all of the arrangements were terminated prior to the start of the regulatory investigations that began in the summer of 2003. No current DeAM employee approved these trading arrangements. Under the terms of the settlements, DeAM, Inc. and DeIM neither admit nor deny any wrongdoing.

The terms of the SEC settlement, which identified improper trading in the legacy Deutsche and Kemper mutual funds only, provide for payment of disgorgement in the amount of $17.2 million. The terms of the settlement with the New York Attorney General provide for payment of disgorgement in the amount of $102.3 million, which is inclusive of the amount payable under the SEC settlement, plus a civil penalty in the amount of $20 million. The total amount payable by DeAM, approximately $122.3 million, would be distributed to funds and/or shareholders of the affected funds in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by a distribution consultant. The funds' investment advisors do not believe these amounts will have a material adverse financial impact on them or materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the DWS funds. The above-described amounts are not material to Deutsche Bank, and have already been reserved.

Among the terms of the settled orders, DeAM is subject to certain undertakings regarding the conduct of its business in the future, including: formation of a Code of Ethics Oversight Committee to oversee all matters relating to issues arising under the advisors' Code of Ethics; establishment of an Internal Compliance Controls Committee having overall compliance oversight responsibility of the advisors; engagement of an Independent Compliance Consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of the advisors' supervisory compliance and other policies and procedures designed to prevent and detect breaches of fiduciary duty, breaches of the Code of Ethics and federal securities law violations by the advisors and their employees; and commencing in 2008, the advisors shall undergo a compliance review by an independent third party.

In addition, DeAM is subject to certain further undertakings relating to the governance of the mutual funds, including that: at least 75% of the members of the Boards of Trustees/Directors overseeing the DWS Funds continue to be independent of DeAM; the Chairmen of the DWS Funds' Boards of Trustees/Directors continue to be independent of DeAM; DeAM maintain existing management fee reductions for certain funds for a period of five years and not increase management fees for certain funds during this period; the funds retain a senior officer (or independent consultants) responsible for assisting in the review of fee arrangements and monitoring compliance by the funds and the investment advisors with securities laws, fiduciary duties, codes of ethics and other compliance policies, the expense of which shall be borne by DeAM; and periodic account statements, fund prospectuses and the mutual funds' web site contain additional disclosure and/or tools that assist investors in understanding the fees and costs associated with an investment in the funds and the impact of fees and expenses on fund returns.

DeAM also continues to discuss a settlement with the Illinois Secretary of State regarding market timing matters. As previously disclosed, DeAM expects a settlement with the Illinois Secretary of State to provide for investor education contributions totaling approximately $4 million and a payment in the amount of $2 million to the Securities Audit and Enforcement Fund.

On September 28, 2006, the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") announced final agreements in which Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM"), Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DeAM, Inc.") and Scudder Distributors, Inc. ("SDI") (now known as DWS Scudder Distributors, Inc.) settled administrative proceedings regarding disclosure of brokerage allocation practices in connection with sales of the Scudder Funds' (now known as the DWS Scudder Funds) shares during 2001-2003. The agreements with the SEC and NASD are reflected in orders which state, among other things, that DeIM and DeAM, Inc. failed to disclose potential conflicts of interest to the fund Boards and to shareholders relating to SDI's use of certain funds' brokerage commissions to reduce revenue sharing costs to broker-dealer firms with whom it had arrangements to market and distribute Scudder Fund shares. These directed brokerage practices were discontinued in October 2003.

Under the terms of the settlements, in which DeIM, DeAM, Inc. and SDI neither admitted nor denied any of the regulators' findings, DeIM, DeAM, Inc. and SDI agreed to pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties in the total amount of $19.3 million. The portion of the settlements distributed to the funds was approximately $17.8 million and was paid to the funds as prescribed by the settlement orders based upon the amount of brokerage commissions from each fund used to satisfy revenue sharing agreements with broker-dealers who sold fund shares. Based on the prescribed settlement order, the Fund was not entitled to a portion of the settlement.

As part of the settlements, DeIM, DeAM, Inc. and SDI also agreed to implement certain measures and undertakings relating to revenue sharing payments including making additional disclosures in the fund Prospectuses or Statements of Additional Information, adopting or modifying relevant policies and procedures and providing regular reporting to the fund Boards.

Private Litigation Matters. The matters alleged in the regulatory settlements described above also serve as the general basis of a number of private class action lawsuits involving the DWS funds. These lawsuits name as defendants various persons, including certain DWS funds, the funds' investment advisors and their affiliates, and certain individuals, including in some cases fund Trustees/Directors, officers, and other parties. Each DWS fund's investment advisor has agreed to indemnify the applicable DWS funds in connection with these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making similar allegations.

Based on currently available information, the funds' investment advisors believe the likelihood that the pending lawsuits will have a material adverse financial impact on a DWS fund is remote and such actions are not likely to materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the DWS funds.

J. Acquisition of Assets

On May 16, 2005, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Scudder High Income Opportunity Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by shareholders on April 26, 2005. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 2,971,179 Class A shares, 870,646 Class B shares, 1,058,816 Class C shares, 13,955,737 Class S shares and 6,744,387 Class AARP shares of Scudder High Income Opportunity Fund, respectively, for 3,582,939 Class A shares, 1,049,444 Class B shares, 1,277,108 Class C shares, 16,825,456 Class S shares and 8,189,097 Class AARP shares of the Fund, respectively, outstanding on May 16, 2005. Scudder High Income Opportunity Fund's net assets at that date of $230,696,533, including $10,096,957 of net unrealized depreciation, were combined with those of the Fund. The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $136,442,037. The combined net assets of the Fund immediately following the acquisition were $367,138,570.

K. Payments made by Affiliates

During the year ended October 31, 2006, the Advisor fully reimbursed the Fund $24,962 for losses incurred on trades executed incorrectly. The amount of the losses were less than 0.01% of the Fund's average net assets thus having no impact on the Fund's total return.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of DWS Advisor Funds and Shareholders of DWS High Income Plus Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, 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 DWS High Income Plus Fund (formerly Scudder High Income Plus Fund) (the "Fund") at October 31, 2006, 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 audit 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 October 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Management Agreement Approval

The Fund's Trustees approved the continuation of the Fund's current investment management agreement with DeAM, Inc. in September 2006. The Fund's current investment management agreement was also approved by the Fund's shareholders at a special meeting held in May 2006 as part of an overall plan to standardize and add flexibility to the management agreements for the DWS funds.

In terms of the process that the Trustees followed prior to approving the agreement, shareholders should know that:

At present time, all but one of your Fund's Trustees are independent of DeAM, Inc. and its affiliates.

The Trustees meet frequently to discuss fund matters. Each year, the Trustees dedicate part or all of several meetings to contract review matters. In connection with reviewing the Fund's investment management agreement, the Trustees also review the terms of the Fund's Rule 12b-1 plan, distribution agreement, administration agreement, transfer agency agreement and other material service agreements.

In connection with the Board's 2006 contract review, the Board formed a special committee to facilitate careful review of the funds' contractual arrangements. After reviewing the Fund's arrangements, that committee recommended that the Board vote to approve the continuation of the Fund's investment management agreement.

The Trustees regularly meet privately with their independent counsel to discuss contract review and other matters. In addition, the Trustees were also advised by two consultants in the course of their 2006 review of the Fund's contractual arrangements.

DeAM, Inc. and its predecessors have managed the Fund since inception, and the Trustees believe that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious advisor is in the best interest of shareholders. As you may know, DeAM, Inc. is part of Deutsche Bank, a major global banking institution that is engaged in a wide range of financial services. The Trustees believe that there are significant advantages to being part of a global asset management business that offers a wide range of investing expertise and resources, including hundreds of portfolio managers and analysts with research capabilities in many countries throughout the world.

Shareholders may focus primarily on fund performance and fees, but the Fund's Trustees consider these and many other factors, including the quality and integrity of DeAM, Inc.'s personnel and such other issues as back-office operations, fund valuations, and compliance policies and procedures.

In determining to approve the continuation of the Fund's current investment management agreement, the Board considered all factors that it believes relevant to the interests of Fund shareholders, including:

The investment management fee schedule for the Fund, including (i) comparative information provided by Lipper regarding investment management fee rates paid to other investment advisors by similar funds and (ii) fee rates paid to DeAM, Inc. by similar funds and institutional accounts advised by DeAM, Inc. (if any). With respect to management fees paid to other investment advisors by similar funds, the Trustees noted that the fee rates paid by the Fund were lower than the median (1st quartile) of the applicable Lipper peer group (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2005). The Board gave a lesser weight to fees paid by similar institutional accounts advised by DeAM, Inc., in light of the material differences in the scope of services provided to mutual funds as compared to those provided to institutional accounts. Taking into account the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fee schedule in effect for the Fund represents reasonable compensation in light of the nature, extent and quality of the investment services being provided to the Fund.

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. In this regard, the Board noted that the Fund's investment management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund's fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between Fund shareholders and DeAM, Inc. of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Fund at current asset levels.

The total operating expenses of the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted that the total (net) operating expenses of the Fund (Class A shares) are expected to be lower than the median (2nd quartile) of the applicable Lipper expense universe (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2005, and in each case analyzing Class A expenses less any applicable distribution and/or service plan expenses). The Board considered the expenses of this class to be representative for purposes of evaluating other classes of shares. The Board also considered how the Fund's total (net) operating expenses compared to the total (net) operating expenses of a more customized peer group selected by Lipper (based on such factors as asset size). The Board also noted that the expense limitation agreed to by DeAM, Inc. helped to ensure that the Fund's total (net) operating expenses would be competitive relative to the applicable Lipper universe.

The investment performance of the Fund and DeAM, Inc., both absolute and relative to various benchmarks and industry peer groups. The Board noted that the Fund's performance (Investment Class shares) was in the 1st quartile of the applicable Lipper universe for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2006. The Board also observed that the Fund has outperformed its benchmark in the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2006 and has underperformed its benchmark in the five-year period ended June 30, 2006. The Board recognized that DeAM, Inc. has made significant changes in its investment personnel and processes in recent years in an effort to improve long-term performance.

The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided by DeAM, Inc. The Board considered extensive information regarding DeAM, Inc., including DeAM, Inc.'s personnel (including particularly those personnel with responsibilities for providing services to the Fund), resources, policies and investment processes. The Board also considered the terms of the current investment management agreement, including the scope of services provided under the agreement. In this regard, the Board concluded that the quality and range of services provided by DeAM, Inc. have benefited and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The costs of the services to, and profits realized by, DeAM, Inc. and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund. The Board reviewed information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by DeAM, Inc. during 2005 from providing investment management services to the Fund (and, separately, to the entire DWS Scudder fund complex), and reviewed with DeAM, Inc. the cost allocation methodology used to determine DeAM, Inc.'s profitability. In analyzing DeAM, Inc.'s costs and profits, the Board also reviewed the fees paid to and services provided by DeAM, Inc. and its affiliates with respect to administrative services, transfer agent services, shareholder servicing and distribution (including fees paid pursuant to 12b-1 plans), as well as information regarding other possible benefits derived by DeAM, Inc. and its affiliates as a result of DeAM, Inc.'s relationship with the Fund. As part of this review, the Board considered information provided by an independent accounting firm engaged to review DeAM, Inc.'s cost allocation methodology and calculations. The Board concluded that the Fund's investment management fee schedule represented reasonable compensation in light of the costs incurred by DeAM, Inc. and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Board also reviewed 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), Deutsche Asset Management's overall profitability with respect to the DWS Scudder fund complex (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by DeAM, Inc. and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of many comparable firms for which such data was available.

The practices of DeAM, Inc. regarding the selection and compensation of brokers and dealers executing portfolio transactions for the Fund. The Board considered that a portion of the Fund's brokerage may be allocated to affiliates of DeAM, Inc., subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules. The Board also reviewed and approved, subject to ongoing review by the Board, a plan whereby a limited portion of the Fund's brokerage may in the future be allocated to brokers who acquire (and provide to DeAM, Inc. and its affiliates) research services from third parties that are generally useful to DeAM, Inc. and its affiliates in managing client portfolios. The Board indicated that it would continue to monitor the allocation of the Fund's brokerage to ensure that the principle of "best price and execution" remains paramount in the portfolio trading process.

DeAM, Inc.'s commitment to and record of compliance, including its written compliance policies and procedures. In this regard, the Board considered DeAM, Inc.'s commitment to indemnify the Fund against any costs and liabilities related to lawsuits or regulatory actions making allegations regarding market timing, revenue sharing, fund valuation or other subjects arising from or relating to pending regulatory inquiries. The Board also considered the significant attention and resources dedicated by DeAM, Inc. to documenting and enhancing its compliance processes in recent years. The Board noted in particular (i) the experience and seniority of DeAM, Inc.'s chief compliance officer, who reports to the Board; (ii) the large number of compliance personnel who report to DeAM, Inc.'s chief compliance officer; and (iii) the substantial commitment of resources by Deutsche Asset Management to compliance matters.

Deutsche Bank's commitment to its US mutual fund business. The Board considered recent and ongoing efforts by Deutsche Bank to restructure its US mutual fund business to improve efficiency and competitiveness and to reduce compliance and operational risk. The Board considered assurances received from Deutsche Bank that it would commit the resources necessary to maintain high-quality services to the Fund and its shareholders while various organizational initiatives are being implemented. The Board also considered Deutsche Bank's strategic plans for its US mutual fund business, the potential benefits to Fund shareholders and Deutsche Bank's management of the DWS fund group, one of Europe's most successful fund groups.

Based on all of the foregoing, the Board determined to continue the Fund's current investment management agreement, and concluded that the continuation of such agreement was in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.

In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor identified above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, many of which were in executive session with only the Independent Trustees and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Trustees may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the continuation of the current agreement.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period, October 31, 2006, DWS High Income Plus Fund has a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, that applies to its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer.

There have been no amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report that would require disclosure under Item 2.

A copy of the code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The Funds’ audit committee is comprised solely of trustees who are “independent” (as such term has been defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in regulations implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the “Regulations”)). The Funds’ Board of Trustees has determined that there are several “audit committee financial experts” serving on the Funds’ audit committee. The Board has determined that Keith R Fox, the chair of the Funds’ audit committee, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” (as such term has been defined by the Regulations) based on its review of Mr. Fox’s pertinent experience and education. The SEC has stated that the designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this Item 3 of Form N-CSR does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification.

I.       Overview

         This Principal  Executive Officer and Principal  Financial Officer Code
         of Ethics  ("Officer  Code") sets forth the  policies,  practices,  and
         values  expected  to be  exhibited  in the  conduct  of  the  Principal
         Executive  Officers and Principal  Financial Officers of the investment
         companies ("Funds") they serve ("Covered Officers").  A list of Covered
         Officers and Funds is included on Appendix A.

         The Boards of the Funds  listed on Appendix A have elected to implement
         the Officer Code,  pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
         2002 and the SEC's rules thereunder,  to promote and demonstrate honest
         and ethical conduct in their Covered Officers.

         Deutsche Asset  Management,  Inc. or its affiliates  ("DeAM") serves as
         the  investment  adviser to each Fund.  All Covered  Officers  are also
         employees of DeAM or an affiliate. Thus, in addition to adhering to the
         Officer  Code,  these  individuals  must comply with DeAM  policies and
         procedures,  such as the DeAM Code of Ethics governing personal trading
         activities,  as adopted  pursuant  to Rule 17j-1  under the  Investment
         Company Act of 1940.(1) In addition,  such individuals also must comply
         with other applicable Fund policies and procedures.

         The DeAM Compliance Officer, who shall not be a Covered Officer and who
         shall serve as such  subject to the  approval  of the Fund's  Board (or
         committee  thereof),  is primarily  responsible  for  implementing  and
         enforcing  this Code.  The  Compliance  Officer  has the  authority  to
         interpret  this  Officer  Code  and  its  applicability  to  particular
         circumstances.  Any questions about the Officer Code should be directed
         to the DeAM Compliance Officer.

         The DeAM Compliance  Officer and his or her contact  information can be
         found in Appendix A.

II.      Purposes of the Officer Code

         The purposes of the Officer Code are to deter wrongdoing and to:

         o        promote  honest and ethical  conduct among  Covered  Officers,
                  including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts
                  of interest between personal and professional relationships;

         o        promote  full,  fair,  accurate,   timely  and  understandable
                  disclosures  in reports and documents that the Funds file with
                  or submit to the SEC (and in other public  communications from
                  the  Funds)  and  that  are  within  the   Covered   Officer's
                  responsibilities;

         o        promote   compliance   with   applicable   laws,   rules   and
                  regulations;

         o        encourage the prompt  internal  reporting of violations of the
                  Officer Code to the DeAM Compliance Officer; and

         o        establish accountability for adherence to the Officer Code.

         Any  questions  about the  Officer  Code  should be  referred to DeAM's
         Compliance Officer.

- --------

(1) The  obligations  imposed by the  Officer  Code are  separate  from,  and in
addition to, any obligations  imposed under codes of ethics adopted  pursuant to
Rule  17j-1  under the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  and any other code of
conduct  applicable to Covered  Officers in whatever  capacity  they serve.  The
Officer  Code does not  incorporate  any of those other codes and,  accordingly,
violations of those codes will not  necessarily be considered  violations of the
Officer Code and waivers granted under those codes would not necessarily require
a waiver to be granted under this Code.  Sanctions imposed under those codes may
be considered  in  determining  appropriate  sanctions for any violation of this
Code.


                                       3


III.     Responsibilities of Covered Officers

         A.       Honest and Ethical Conduct

         It is the duty of every Covered  Officer to encourage  and  demonstrate
         honest and ethical conduct,  as well as adhere to and require adherence
         to the Officer Code and any other  applicable  policies and  procedures
         designed to promote this behavior.  Covered  Officers must at all times
         conduct  themselves with integrity and  distinction,  putting first the
         interests of the Fund(s) they serve.  Covered  Officers  must be honest
         and candid  while  maintaining  confidentiality  of  information  where
         required by law, DeAM policy or Fund policy.

         Covered   Officers  also  must,  at  all  times,  act  in  good  faith,
         responsibly  and with  due  care,  competence  and  diligence,  without
         misrepresenting  or being  misleading  about material facts or allowing
         their  independent  judgment to be subordinated.  Covered Officers also
         should maintain skills appropriate and necessary for the performance of
         their duties for the Fund(s).  Covered  Officers also must  responsibly
         use and control all Fund assets and resources entrusted to them.

         Covered  Officers may not  retaliate  against  others for, or otherwise
         discourage  the  reporting  of,  actual or apparent  violations  of the
         Officer Code or applicable laws or regulations. Covered Officers should
         create an  environment  that  encourages  the exchange of  information,
         including concerns of the type that this Code is designed to address.

         B.       Conflicts of Interest

         A  "conflict  of  interest"  occurs when a Covered  Officer's  personal
         interests  interfere with the interests of the Fund for which he or she
         serves as an officer.  Covered  Officers may not  improperly  use their
         position with a Fund for personal or private gain to themselves,  their
         family,  or any other person.  Similarly,  Covered Officers may not use
         their  personal  influence  or  personal   relationships  to  influence
         decisions  or other Fund  business or  operational  matters  where they
         would  benefit  personally  at the  Fund's  expense  or to  the  Fund's
         detriment.  Covered Officers may not cause the Fund to take action,  or
         refrain from taking action,  for their  personal  benefit at the Fund's
         expense or to the Fund's  detriment.  Some  examples  of  conflicts  of
         interest  follow  (this  is not an  all-inclusive  list):  being in the
         position of  supervising,  reviewing or having any influence on the job
         evaluation,  pay or benefit of any  immediate  family  member who is an
         employee of a Fund service provider or is otherwise associated with the
         Fund; or having an ownership  interest in, or having any  consulting or
         employment relationship with, any Fund service provider other than DeAM
         or its affiliates.

         Certain  conflicts  of  interest  covered by this Code arise out of the
         relationships  between  Covered  Officers and the Fund that already are
         subject to conflict of interest  provisions in the  Investment  Company
         Act and the Investment Advisers Act. For example,  Covered Officers may
         not individually  engage in certain  transactions (such as the purchase
         or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their
         status as  "affiliated  persons"  of the Fund.  Covered  Officers  must
         comply with applicable laws and regulations.  Therefore, any violations
         of  existing  statutory  and  regulatory   prohibitions  on  individual
         behavior could be considered a violation of this Code.

         As  to  conflicts  arising  from,  or  as  a  result  of  the  advisory
         relationship (or any other relationships) between the Fund and DeAM, of
         which the  Covered  Officers  are also  officers  or  employees,  it is
         recognized by the Board that, subject to DeAM's fiduciary duties to the
         Fund,  the Covered  Officers  will in the normal course of their duties
         (whether formally for the Fund or for DeAM, or for both) be involved in
         establishing  policies  and  implementing  decisions  which  will  have
         different  effects on


                                       4


         DeAM and the Fund. The Board  recognizes that the  participation of the
         Covered  Officers  in  such  activities  is  inherent  in the  contract
         relationship  between  the Fund and DeAM,  and is  consistent  with the
         expectation of the Board of the performance by the Covered  Officers of
         their duties as officers of the Fund.

         Covered  Officers  should  avoid  actual  conflicts  of  interest,  and
         appearances  of conflicts of  interest,  between the Covered  Officer's
         duties  to the  Fund and his or her  personal  interests  beyond  those
         contemplated  or anticipated  by applicable  regulatory  schemes.  If a
         Covered  Officer  suspects or knows of a conflict or an  appearance  of
         one, the Covered Officer must immediately report the matter to the DeAM
         Compliance  Officer.  If a Covered Officer, in lieu of reporting such a
         matter to the DeAM Compliance  Officer,  may report the matter directly
         to the Fund's Board (or committee  thereof),  as appropriate  (e.g., if
         the  conflict  involves  the DeAM  Compliance  Officer  or the  Covered
         Officer reasonably  believes it would be futile to report the matter to
         the DeAM Compliance Officer).

         When  actual,  apparent or  suspected  conflicts  of interest  arise in
         connection with a Covered  Officer,  DeAM personnel aware of the matter
         should promptly contact the DeAM Compliance  Officer.  There will be no
         reprisal or retaliation against the person reporting the matter.

         Upon receipt of a report of a possible  conflict,  the DeAM  Compliance
         Officer will take steps to determine  whether a conflict exists.  In so
         doing,  the DeAM  Compliance  Officer  may take any  actions  he or she
         determines to be appropriate in his or her sole  discretion and may use
         all  reasonable  resources,   including  retaining  or  engaging  legal
         counsel,  accounting firms or other consultants,  subject to applicable
         law.(2)  The costs  associated  with such  actions  may be borne by the
         Fund,  if  appropriate,  after  consultation  with the Fund's Board (or
         committee  thereof).  Otherwise,  such  costs  will be borne by DeAM or
         other appropriate Fund service provider.

         After full review of a report of a possible  conflict of interest,  the
         DeAM  Compliance  Officer may determine  that no conflict or reasonable
         appearance  of a conflict  exists.  If,  however,  the DeAM  Compliance
         Officer  determines  that an actual  conflict  exists,  the  Compliance
         Officer will resolve the conflict  solely in the interests of the Fund,
         and will report the conflict and its resolution to the Fund's Board (or
         committee thereof).  If the DeAM Compliance Officer determines that the
         appearance of a conflict exists,  the DeAM Compliance Officer will take
         appropriate  steps to remedy such  appearance.  In lieu of  determining
         whether  a  conflict  exists  and/or  resolving  a  conflict,  the DeAM
         Compliance Officer instead may refer the matter to the Fund's Board (or
         committee  thereof),  as  appropriate.  However,  the  DeAM  Compliance
         Officer  must  refer the  matter  to the  Fund's  Board  (or  committee
         thereof) if the DeAM  Compliance  Officer is  directly  involved in the
         conflict or under similar appropriate circumstances.

         After  responding to a report of a possible  conflict of interest,  the
         DeAM  Compliance  Officer  will  discuss  the  matter  with the  person
         reporting it (and with the Covered  Officer at issue, if different) for
         purposes  of  educating   those  involved  on  conflicts  of  interests
         (including how to detect and avoid them, if appropriate).

         Appropriate   resolution   of  conflicts   may  restrict  the  personal
         activities of the Covered  Officer and/or his family,  friends or other
         persons.

         Solely because a conflict is disclosed to the DeAM  Compliance  Officer
         (and/or the Board or  Committee  thereof)  and/or  resolved by the DeAM
         Compliance  Officer does not mean that the  conflict or its  resolution
         constitutes a waiver from the Code's requirements.


- --------

(2) For  example,  retaining a Fund's  independent  accounting  firm may require
pre-approval by the Fund's audit committee.


                                       5


         Any  questions  about  conflicts  of  interests,  including  whether  a
         particular  situation  might be a  conflict  or an  appearance  of one,
         should be directed to the DeAM Compliance Officer.

         C.       Use of Personal Fund Shareholder Information

         A Covered Officer may not use or disclose  personal  information  about
         Fund  shareholders,  except in the performance of his or her duties for
         the Fund. Each Covered Officer also must abide by the Funds' and DeAM's
         privacy policies under SEC Regulation S-P.

         D.       Public Communications

         In connection with his or her  responsibilities for or involvement with
         a  Fund's  public   communications  and  disclosure   documents  (e.g.,
         shareholder reports,  registration  statements,  press releases),  each
         Covered  Officer must  provide  information  to Fund service  providers
         (within the DeAM  organization  or  otherwise)  and to the Fund's Board
         (and  any  committees  thereof),   independent   auditors,   government
         regulators and  self-regulatory  organizations that is fair,  accurate,
         complete, objective, relevant, timely and understandable.

         Further,  within the scope of their  duties,  Covered  Officers  having
         direct or supervisory authority over Fund disclosure documents or other
         public Fund communications will, to the extent appropriate within their
         area of responsibility, endeavor to ensure full, fair, timely, accurate
         and  understandable  disclosure  in  Fund  disclosure  documents.  Such
         Covered Officers will oversee, or appoint others to oversee,  processes
         for the timely and accurate  creation and review of all public  reports
         and regulatory filings. Within the scope of his or her responsibilities
         as a Covered  Officer,  each  Covered  Officer  also  will  familiarize
         himself or herself with the disclosure  requirements  applicable to the
         Fund,  as well as the business and  financial  operations  of the Fund.
         Each Covered  Officer  also will adhere to, and will promote  adherence
         to, applicable disclosure controls, processes and procedures, including
         DeAM's Disclosure Controls and Procedures,  which govern the process by
         which Fund disclosure documents are created and reviewed.

         To the extent that Covered  Officers  participate  in the creation of a
         Fund's  books or records,  they must do so in a way that  promotes  the
         accuracy, fairness and timeliness of those records.

         E.       Compliance with Applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations

         In connection with his or her duties and within the scope of his or her
         responsibilities as a Covered Officer, each Covered Officer must comply
         with governmental  laws, rules and regulations,  accounting  standards,
         and  Fund   policies/procedures   that   apply  to  his  or  her  role,
         responsibilities  and duties  with  respect  to the Funds  ("Applicable
         Laws").  These  requirements  do not  impose on  Covered  Officers  any
         additional  substantive duties.  Additionally,  Covered Officers should
         promote compliance with Applicable Laws.

         If a Covered  Officer  knows of any material  violations  of Applicable
         Laws or suspects that such a violation may have  occurred,  the Covered
         Officer  is  expected  to  promptly  report  the  matter  to  the  DeAM
         Compliance Officer.



                                       6


IV.      Violation Reporting

         A.       Overview

         Each  Covered  Officer  must  promptly  report  to the DeAM  Compliance
         Officer,   and  promote  the  reporting  of,  any  known  or  suspected
         violations of the Officer Code.  Failure to report a violation may be a
         violation of the Officer Code.

         Examples of violations of the Officer Code include, but are not limited
         to, the following:

         o        Unethical or dishonest behavior

         o        Obvious lack of adherence to policies  surrounding  review and
                  approval of public  communications  and  regulatory  filings

         o        Failure to report violations of the Officer Code

         o        Known or obvious  deviations from Applicable Laws

         o        Failure to  acknowledge  and certify  adherence to the Officer
                  Code

         The  DeAM  Compliance  Officer  has the  authority  to take any and all
         action he or she considers appropriate in his or her sole discretion to
         investigate  known or suspected Code violations,  including  consulting
         with  the  Fund's  Board,  the  independent  Board  members,   a  Board
         committee,  the Fund's legal counsel and/or counsel to the  independent
         Board members. The Compliance Officer also has the authority to use all
         reasonable resources to investigate violations,  including retaining or
         engaging legal counsel, accounting firms or other consultants,  subject
         to  applicable  law.(3) The costs  associated  with such actions may be
         borne by the Fund, if appropriate,  after  consultation with the Fund's
         Board (or committee  thereof).  Otherwise,  such costs will be borne by
         DeAM.


         B.       How to Report

         Any known or suspected  violations of the Officer Code must be promptly
         reported to the DeAM Compliance Officer.

         C.       Process for Violation Reporting to the Fund Board

         The DeAM Compliance  Officer will promptly report any violations of the
         Code to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof).

         D.       Sanctions for Code Violations

         Violations of the Code will be taken seriously. In response to reported
         or otherwise known  violations,  DeAM and the relevant Fund's Board may
         impose sanctions  within the scope of their  respective  authority over
         the Covered Officer at issue.  Sanctions  imposed by DeAM could include
         termination  of employment.  Sanctions  imposed by a Fund's Board could
         include termination of association with the Fund.

         V.       Waivers from the Officer Code

         A  Covered  Officer  may  request  a waiver  from the  Officer  Code by
         transmitting  a written  request  for a waiver  to the DeAM  Compliance
         Officer.(4)  The request must include the rationale for the request and
         must explain how the waiver would be in furtherance of the standards of
         conduct  described in and underlying  purposes of the Officer Code. The
         DeAM  Compliance  Officer will present this  information


- --------

(3) For  example,  retaining a Fund's  independent  accounting  firm may require
pre-approval by the Fund's audit committee.

(4) Of course,  it is not a waiver of the Officer  Code if the Fund's  Board (or
committee thereof)  determines that a matter is not a deviation from the Officer

         will determine  whether to grant the requested waiver. If the Board (or
         committee)  grants the requested  waiver,  the DeAM Compliance  Officer
         thereafter  will  monitor  the  activities  subject to the  waiver,  as
         appropriate, and will promptly report to the Fund's Board (or committee
         thereof) regarding such activities, as appropriate.

         The DeAM Compliance Officer will coordinate and facilitate any required
         public disclosures of any waivers granted or any implicit waivers.

VI.      Amendments to the Code

         The DeAM  Compliance  Officer will review the Officer Code from time to
         time for its continued  appropriateness and will propose any amendments
         to the  Fund's  Board (or  committee  thereof)  on a timely  basis.  In
         addition, the Board (or committee thereof) will review the Officer Code
         at least annually for its continued  appropriateness  and may amend the
         Code as necessary or appropriate.

         The DeAM Compliance Officer will coordinate and facilitate any required
         public disclosures of Code amendments.

VII.     Acknowledgement and Certification of Adherence to the Officer Code

         Each  Covered  Officer  must sign a  statement  upon  appointment  as a
         Covered Officer and annually  thereafter  acknowledging  that he or she
         has  received  and read the Officer  Code,  as amended or updated,  and
         confirming  that  he or she has  complied  with  it  (see  Appendix  B:
         Acknowledgement  and  Certification  of  Obligations  Under the Officer
         Code).

         Understanding  and  complying  with the  Officer  Code  and  truthfully
         completing the  Acknowledgement  and Certification Form is each Covered
         Officer's obligation.

         The DeAM Compliance Officer will maintain such  Acknowledgements in the
         Fund's books and records.

VIII.    Scope of Responsibilities

         A Covered Officer's responsibilities under the Officer Code are limited
         to:

         (1)      Fund matters over which the Officer has direct  responsibility
                  or   control,   matters   in  which  the   Officer   routinely
                  participates,  and matters with which the Officer is otherwise
                  involved  (i.e.,  matters  within  the  scope  of the  Covered
                  Officer's  responsibilities  as a Fund officer);  and

         (2)      Fund matters of which the Officer has actual knowledge.


IX.      Recordkeeping

         including records relating to conflicts of interest  determinations and
         investigations of possible Code violations.

X.       Confidentiality

         All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Officer
         Code  shall be  considered  confidential  and shall be  maintained  and
         protected  accordingly.  Except as  otherwise  required  by law or this
