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. Although asset allocation among different asset classes generally limits risk and exposure to any one class, the risk remains that the investment advisor may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to the other asset classes. The fund is subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks of companies the fund holds may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. 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 fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. Investing in foreign securities presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes and market risks. Additionally, derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional securities, and the fund could suffer losses on its derivatives positions. Please read this fund's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

DWS Scudder is part of Deutsche Asset Management, which is the marketing name in the US for the asset management activities of Deutsche Bank AG, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. and DWS Trust Company.

Performance Summary March 31, 2008

Institutional Class

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

The total annual fund operating expense ratio, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated August 1, 2007 is 0.88% for Institutional Class shares. Please see the Information About Your Fund's Expenses, the Financial Highlights and Notes to the Financial Statements (Note C, Related Parties) sections of this report for gross and net expense related disclosure for the period ended March 31, 2008.

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

Returns and rankings 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.

+ The Russell 1000 Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 92% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 1000 Index replaced the S&P 500 as the Fund's benchmark index because the advisor believes that it more accurately reflects the Fund's investment strategy.
The Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) Index is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.
The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index that tracks international stock performance in the 21 developed markets of Europe, Australasia and the Far East. The index is calculated using closing local market prices and translates into US dollars using the London close foreign exchange rates.
The Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Bond Index is an unmanaged index which covers an all inclusive universe of institutionally traded US Treasury, agency, mortgage and corporate securities.
The Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Index is an unmanaged, market value-weighted measure of treasury issues, corporate bond issues and mortgage securities. The Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Index replaced the Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Bond Index because the advisor believes that it more accurately reflects the Fund's investment strategy.
The Asset Allocation Index — Long Range is calculated using the performance of six unmanaged indices representative of stocks (Russell 1000 Index effective January 1, 2007, S&P 500 Index until December 31, 2006, Russell 2000 Index, and MSCI EAFE Index), bonds (Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Bond Index until December 31, 2007, Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Index and Credit Suisse High Yield Index as of January 1, 2008) and cash (Merrill Lynch 3-month US Treasury Bill Index) weighted by their corresponding proportion of the Fund's neutral position (stocks: 60%; bonds: 35%; cash: 5%). These results are summed to produce the aggregate benchmark. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted measure of approximately 2,000 small US stocks. Credit Suisse High Yield Index is an unmanaged, trader-priced portfolio constructed to mirror the global high-yield debt market. The Merrill Lynch 3-month US Treasury Bill Index is representative of the 3-month Treasury market.
Equity index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Class S

Class S shares are generally not available to new investors except under certain circumstances. (Please see the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.)

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 total annual fund operating expense ratio, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated August 1, 2007 is 0.93% for Class S shares. Please see the Information About Your Fund's Expenses, the Financial Highlights and Notes to the Financial Statements (Note C, Related Parties) sections of this report for gross and net expense related disclosure for the period ended March 31, 2008.

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

Returns and rankings 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 25, 2003, Class S shares of the Fund were issued in conjunction with the combination of the Fund and Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund, each a feeder fund that had invested all of its investable assets in the same master portfolio. Returns shown for Class S shares for the period prior to July 25, 2003 are derived from the historical performance of the Institutional Class of the DWS Lifecycle Long Range Fund during such periods and have been adjusted to reflect the higher gross total annual operating expenses of the Class S shares. 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 and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. 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 (October 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008).

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

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

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

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

In the following interview, Portfolio Managers Thomas Picciochi, Inna Okounkova and Robert Wang address the economy, markets, portfolio management strategy and resulting performance of DWS Lifecycle Long Range Fund for the 12 months ended March 31, 2008.

The views expressed in the following discussion reflect those of the portfolio managers 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.

Q: How would you describe market conditions over the last year?

A: The tone of the US equity market has changed considerably over the last 12 months. Except for a period of weakness in late February and early March, equity markets were quite strong during the first half of 2007. By the end of May, most indices were at or near their all-time highs. Following an increase in volatility during the summer, a September rally was sparked in part by the first of the US Federal Reserve Board's (the Fed's) series of interest rate reductions.

The last quarter of 2007 and the early months of 2008 represented a period of considerable economic uncertainty and significant turmoil throughout capital markets. What began as a correction in the US housing market accelerated into a crisis in the subprime mortgage market with profound implications for the entire economy. By early 2008, there had been pronounced changes in attitudes toward risk in financial markets, as demonstrated by wider credit spreads, severe dislocation in short-term credit markets, overall tightening of financial conditions and an increasingly volatile equity market. The Fed reduced interest rates six times between September 2007 and March 2008, striving to strike a balance between providing liquidity to financial markets and keeping inflation at a moderate level. Even with this stimulus, recent trends in employment, consumer spending and other indicators have led many economists to forecast that the US will experience a recession during 2008.

In this challenging economic environment, most US equity indices posted negative returns for the 12 months ended March 31, 2008. The Russell 3000® Index, which is generally regarded as a good indicator of the broad stock market, posted a negative return of -6.06% for the period.1 There was a change in market leadership in 2007: After a period of approximately seven years during which small-cap stocks generally outperformed large-cap stocks, large-cap stocks regained market leadership as investors became less comfortable with risk. The Russell 1000® Index, which measures performance of large-cap stocks, returned -5.40%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index returned -13.00%.2 Growth stocks performed better than value stocks: the Russell 3000® Growth Index returned -1.45%, while the Russell 3000® Value Index returned -10.60%.3 Most international markets performed better than the US market: return of the MSCI EAFE® Index, which measures performance of a broad range of international markets, was -2.70%.4 Emerging markets were much stronger than developed markets: return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index was 21.33%.5

1 The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the 3,000 largest US companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable US equity market.
2 The Russell 1000 Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 92% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index.
3 The Russell 3000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of those Russell 3000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 3000 Value Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of those Russell 3000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.
4 The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index that tracks international stock performance in the 21 developed markets of Europe, Australasia and the Far East. The index is calculated using closing local market prices and translates into US dollars using the London close foreign exchange rates.
Equity index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.
5 The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a float-adjusted capitalization-weighted index created by Morgan Stanley Capital International to measure market performance in global emerging markets.
MSCI indices are calculated using closing market prices and translate to US dollars using the London close foreign exchange rates.

Returns in the US fixed-income market were positive, with the best returns from the least risky securities, particularly near the end of the period, as investors demonstrated a reduced tolerance for risk. In recent months, the market for non-government-backed bonds has experienced unprecedented volatility, as investors sought to avoid risk. The Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Index, which measures return of the bond market as a whole, posted a return of 7.67%.6 Return of the Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year Treasury Index was 10.58%.7 Returns on cash equivalents were less than bond returns; return of the Merrill Lynch 3-month T-bill index was 4.62%.8

6 The Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Index is an unmanaged, market-value-weighted measure of treasury issues, corporate bond issues and mortgage securities.
7 The Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year US Treasury index is an index of US Treasury securities with maturities of one to five years. It is constructed by Merrill Lynch & Co. and is frequently used as a measure of returns on US Treasury securities.
8 The Merrill Lynch 3-month T-bill index is an index of US Treasury securities with maturities of three months or less. It is constructed by Merrill Lynch & Co. and is frequently used as a measure of short-term returns on cash investments.
Equity index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Q: How is DWS Lifecycle Long Range Fund managed?

A: The fund invests in a mix of stocks, bonds and short-term investments, with a strategic allocation to each asset class. To derive the strategic asset allocation we use a proprietary methodology that consists of several steps. First, we derive long-term equilibrium return forecasts, taking into account long-term factors such as productivity rates and inflation expectations. Then we combine the equilibrium returns with medium-term views. Finally we use the medium-term forecasts to derive optimal asset allocation using a proprietary optimization system. The current target allocation is 43% in large-cap equities, 7% in small-cap equities, 10% in international equities, 32% in investment-grade bonds, 3% in high-yield bonds and 5% in cash equivalents. We review strategic asset allocation at least annually.

In the equity portion of the portfolio, we use several quantitative and qualitative security selection strategies designed to achieve long-term outperformance by systematically exploring market inefficiency. For US equities, our quantitative stock selection model uses a broad range of information from companies' balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements. The signals are selected based on statistical evidence and economic intuition.

In managing the bond portion of the portfolio, we use a core fixed-income strategy to select bonds based on a number of characteristics, in an effort to outperform the Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Index. We have also allocated a smaller portion of the fixed-income to high-yield bonds since the end of 2007.

In addition to the main investment strategy, we employ a Global Tactical Asset Allocation (GTAA) overlay, which is designed to add value by benefiting from short-term mispricings within global equity, bond and currency markets. This strategy is expected to have a low correlation to the fund's security holdings. It utilizes stock and bond futures and currency forwards to take long and short positions in different asset classes without having to make dramatic shifts in the stock, bond and cash allocations of the underlying strategies, which are maintained at the percentages specific to the fund and are rebalanced to these percentages each month.9

9 Futures and options are used as a low-cost method for gaining exposure to a particular securities market without investing directly in those securities. Forward currency transactions are the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at an exchange rate established now, but with payment and delivery at a specified future time. Forward currency transactions are used as hedges and, where possible, to add to investment returns.

The GTAA strategy combines diverse macro investment views from various investment teams within Deutsche Asset Management. Since a single investment approach rarely works in all market conditions, the teams are chosen to diversify investment approaches, thereby enhancing the expected return for a given level of risk. The collective views are then used to determine GTAA's positions using a disciplined risk-managed process. The result is a collection of long and short investment positions within global equity, bond and currency markets designed to generate excess returns that have little correlation to major markets.10 The positions are then implemented by the GTAA portfolio managers using futures and forward contracts. The GTAA portfolio managers consider factors such as liquidity, cost, margin requirement and credit quality when selecting the appropriate derivative instrument.11

10 Long positions represent ownership of a security in the expectation that its price will rise. Short positions represent the sale of a contract on a security that is not owned.
11 Credit quality is a measure of a bond issuer's ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner. Rating agencies assign letter designations such as AAA, AA, and so forth. The lower the rating, the higher the probability of default.

Q: How did the fund perform during the period?

A: We find that the best way to evaluate performance is to compare returns to those of a peer group of funds that allocate assets among several asset classes. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2008, DWS Lifecycle Long Range Fund had a return of -0.40% (Institutional Class). The fund outperformed its Lipper peer group of Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds, which had an average return of -1.68%.12

12 The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds category is a group of mutual funds that, by portfolio practice, maintain a mix of 0% to 60% equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash and cash equivalents. Category returns assume reinvestment of dividends. It is not possible to invest directly into a Lipper category.

Q: What decisions had the greatest effect on the fund's performance over the period?

A: The fund's strategic asset allocation contributed to performance. During this fiscal year, we have implemented significant changes to the strategy of the fund. We diversified further its strategic asset allocation, adding three new asset classes: international equities, US small-cap equities and high-yield bonds. Because of these changes, turnover was higher than usual, as we adjusted the portfolio to reflect a wider range of investment options. Because of the new asset categories now included in the portfolio, there are far more holdings than in the past.

It is too early to analyze the impact of the new strategic asset allocation, as the transition was completed at the end of March. Prior to that, strategic asset allocation of the fund was static and it was represented by three major asset classes: US large cap equities with 55% allocation, investment grade bonds with 35% allocation and cash with a 10% allocation. The current target strategic mix is:

US large cap equities

43%

US small cap equities

7%

International equities

10%

Investment grade bonds

32%

High-Yield bonds

3%

Cash

5%

Asset allocation are subject to change.

Going forward strategic asset allocation of the fund will be reviewed periodically.

The Global Tactical Asset Allocation overlay made a positive contribution to return over the period and was a major factor that enabled the fund to outperform its peer group. Positive performance came mainly from the equity and currency positions. In equities, the major contributors were a long position in the Hang Seng Stock Index and a short position in the S&P 500® Index.13 Strength in Asian economies caused Asian equity markets to rally to new highs during 2007, while US equity markets struggled from credit concerns and weakening economic fundamentals. In currencies, long positions in the major G10 currencies contributed to performance, as the US dollar weakened significantly against most of these currencies.14 The New Zealand dollar, one of the fund's largest long currency positions, was the largest contributor as strength in carry trades during the latter half of 2007 helped this high-yielding currency.15 In fixed income, positive performance from the fund's net long fixed-income position was offset by a predominantly short US Treasury position.

13 The Hang Seng Stock Index is a free float-adjusted capitalization-weighted index used to measure performance of the Hong Kong stock market. 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.
14 The G10 currencies are currencies of a group of countries whose central banks have agreed to participate in a borrowing agreement under which financial resources are made available to all participants. Current members are Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
15 Carry trade is a strategy in which an investor sells a certain currency with a relatively low interest rate and uses the proceeds to purchase a different currency yielding a higher interest rate. 

The major negative effect on performance was the core fixed-income strategy. During this period when the least risky bonds performed best, the portfolio's fixed-income sleeve was overweight relative to the Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Index in bonds that carry a greater degree of credit risk.16 In an extraordinarily volatile bond market, spreads between government-backed bonds and bonds that carry some degree of credit risk have widened dramatically. However, the fixed-income sleeve managers believe that technical trends cannot cause a bond to default, and the underlying credit quality of bonds will drive their returns over the long term. In managing the fixed-income sleeve of the portfolio, they continue to focus on fundamentals and to position the portfolio to benefit from a future recovery in the market.

16 "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.

Q: Do you have other comments for shareholders?

A: While the current environment involves risks including a slowing in the US economy and political instability in many parts of the world, we believe there is potential for global economic growth over the long term. During times of uncertainty with regard to geopolitical risks, economic growth and inflation, this fund, with its investments in multiple asset classes, could be a good investment because of its relatively low volatility and good risk-adjusted returns. Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results.

We believe that a disciplined asset allocation fund such as DWS Lifecycle Long Range Fund offers investors the potential to take advantage of a wide range of investment opportunities with a moderate degree of risk.

Notes to Financial Statements

A. Significant Accounting Policies

DWS Lifecycle Long Range 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 management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The Fund offers two classes of shares: Class S and Institutional Class. Institutional Class shares are offered to a limited group of investors and are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges. Institutional Class shares have lower ongoing expenses than Class S shares. Class S shares are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges and are generally not available to new investors except under certain circumstances.

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

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

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

Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Trustees of the Fund. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, the securities are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, 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.

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. The Fund may use a fair valuation model to value international equity securities in order to adjust for events which may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the close of the New York Stock Exchange.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 March 31, 2008, 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.

In addition, in March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 ("FAS 161") Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosure about an entity's derivative and hedging activities. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

Securities Lending. The Fund may lend securities to financial institutions. The Fund retains beneficial ownership of the securities it has loaned and continues to receive interest and dividends paid by the issuer of securities and to participate in any changes in their 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 Exemptive Orders issued by the SEC. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral net of borrower rebates and fees paid to 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.

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

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

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between a buyer or seller and an established futures exchange or its clearinghouse in which the buyer or seller agrees to take or make a delivery of a specific amount of a financial instrument at a specified price on a specific date (settlement date). The Fund may also invest in futures contracts to keep cash on hand to meet shareholder redemptions or other needs while maintaining exposure to the stock market.

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

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

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, to facilitate transactions in foreign currency denominated securities and to enhance the total returns.

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.

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.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls. The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities at an agreed upon price and date. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to earn interest and receive principal payment on securities sold. The Fund receives compensation as consideration for entering into the commitment to repurchase. The compensation is paid in the form of a lower price for the security upon its repurchase or, alternatively, a fee. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed with a new sale and repurchase price and a cash settlement made at each renewal without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into mortgage dollar rolls from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments. Additionally, the value of the securities sold by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price of those securities.

When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities. The Fund may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time the Fund enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the net asset value. The price of such security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues to the Fund until payment takes place. At the time the Fund enters into this type of transaction it is required to segregate cash or other liquid assets at least equal to the amount of the commitment.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery securities from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.

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

At March 31, 2008, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $10,326,000, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until March 31, 2010 $3,729,000, March 31, 2011 $4,041,000, March 31, 2012 $2,301,000 and March 31, 2013 $255,000, the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first, subject to certain limitations under Sections 382-383 of the Internal Revenue Code. During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Fund utilized approximately $2,590,000 of prior year capital loss carryforwards.

In addition, from November 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008, the Fund incurred approximately $29,024,000 of net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, the Fund intends to elect to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009.

The Fund has reviewed the tax positions for each of the three open tax years as of March 31, 2008 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund is declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. Net realized gains from investment transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards,

would be taxable to the Fund if not distributed, and, therefore, will be distributed to shareholders at least annually.

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

At March 31, 2008, each Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income*

$ 3,560,708

Undistributed net long-term capital gains

$ 9,333,880

Capital loss carryforward**

$ (10,326,000)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments

$ (37,314,597)

In addition, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund is summarized as follows:

 

Years Ended March 31,

 

2008

2007

Distributions from ordinary income*

$ 70,993,246

$ 21,994,120

Distributions from long-term capital gains*

$ 67,170,086

$ 17,818,026

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions and gains from forward foreign currency exchange contracts are considered ordinary income distributions.
** Subject to certain limitations under Section 382-383 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Redemption Fees. During the year, the Fund imposed a redemption fee of 2% of the total redemption amount on the Fund shares redeemed or exchanged within 15 days of buying them, either by purchase or exchange. This fee was assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee was accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. Effective April 1, 2008, the Fund no longer imposes the 2% redemption fee on Fund shares acquired on or after that date.

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

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

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment security transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date net of foreign withholding taxes. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.

B. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the year ended March 31, 2008, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments, US Treasury obligations and mortgage dollar roll transactions) aggregated $1,545,917,687 and $1,455,137,571, respectively. Purchases and sales of US Treasury obligations aggregated $352,503,171 and $379,795,257, respectively. Purchases and sales of mortgage dollar roll transactions aggregated $11,002,388 and $14,029,880, respectively.

C. Related Parties

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

Pursuant to a written contract, Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. ("AAMI"), a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Aberdeen Asset Management PLC, serves as subadvisor to the Fund with respect to the fixed income portion of the Fund's portfolio. AAMI is paid for its services by the Advisor from its fee as investment advisor to the Fund.

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

First $250 million of the Fund's average daily net assets

.600%

Next $750 million of such net assets

.575%

Over $1 billion of such net assets

.550%

For the period from April 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007, the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management 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 total operating expenses of Institutional Class at 1.03%.

Effective October 1, 2006, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses of the Fund (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest expenses) to the extent necessary to maintain the total operating expenses of Institutional Class at 0.55%. This voluntary waiver or reimbursement may be terminated at any time at the option of the Advisor.

Accordingly, for the year ended March 31, 2008, the Advisor waived a portion of its management fee pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement aggregating $1,355,984 ($8,620 and $1,347,364 for Class S and Institutional Class, respectively) and the amount charged aggregated $3,233,645 which was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.41% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

In addition, for the year ended March 31, 2008, the Advisor reimbursed $1,250,980 of sub-recordkeeping expenses for Institutional Class shares.

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 year ended March 31, 2008, the Advisor received an Administration Fee of $787,327 of which $63,100 is unpaid.

Service Provider Fees. DWS Scudder Investments Service Company ("DWS-SISC"), 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 DWS-SISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), DWS-SISC has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent functions to DST. DWS-SISC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Fund. For the year ended March 31, 2008 the amounts charged to the Fund by DWS-SISC were as follows:

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 March 31, 2008, the amount charged to the Fund by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "reports to shareholders" aggregated $40,400, of which $8,160 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 Chairperson of the Board and the Chairperson 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.

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

D. Concentration of Ownership

From time to time the Fund may have a concentration of several shareholders holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund.

At March 31, 2008, one or more shareholders individually held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. These shareholders held 64% and 21%, respectively, of the total shares outstanding of the Fund.

E. Fee Reductions

The Fund has entered into an arrangement with its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of the Fund's custodian expenses. During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Fund's custodian fees were reduced by $4,944 and $16,246 for custody and transfer agent credits earned.

F. Line of Credit

The Fund and other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $750 million revolving credit facility administered by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. 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 upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.35 percent. The Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement.

During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Advisor fully reimbursed the Fund $17,512 for losses incurred on trades executed incorrectly. The amount of the loss was less than 0.01% of the Fund's average daily net assets, thus having no impact on the Fund's total return.

Summary of Management Fee Evaluation by Independent Fee Consultant

October 26, 2007

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

Qualifications

For more than 30 years I have served in various professional capacities within the investment management business. I have held investment analysis and advisory positions, including securities analyst, portfolio strategist and director of investment policy with a large investment firm. I have also performed business management functions, including business development, financial management and marketing research and analysis.

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

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

Evaluation of Fees for each DWS Scudder Fund

My work focused primarily on evaluating, fund-by-fund, the fees charged to each of the 136 Fund portfolios in the DWS Scudder Fund family. For each Fund, I considered each of the key factors mentioned above, as well as any other relevant information. In doing so I worked closely with the Funds' Independent Directors in their annual contract renewal process, as well as in their approval of contracts for several new funds (documented separately).

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

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

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

Fees and Expenses Compared with Other Funds

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

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

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

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

DeAM's Fees for Similar Services to Others

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

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

Costs and Profit Margins

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

Economies of Scale

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

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

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

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

Quality of Service — Performance

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

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

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

Complex-Level Considerations

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

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

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

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

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

Findings

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

ITEM 2.

CODE OF ETHICS

 

 

 

As of the end of the period, March 31, 2008, DWS Lifecycle Long Range 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” (as such term has been defined by the Regulations) serving on the Funds’ audit committee including Mr. William McClayton, the chair of the Funds’ audit committee. The SEC has stated that an audit committee financial expert is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and 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. In accordance with New York Stock Exchange requirements, the Board believes that all members of the Funds’ audit committee are financially literate, as such qualification is interpreted by the Board in its business judgment, and that at least one member of the audit committee has accounting or related financial management expertise.
