The following information is added to "Class B Shares" in the "Choosing a Share
Class" section of each fund's Class B prospectus:

Effective March 1, 2010 (the "Effective Date"), Class B shares of each fund will
be closed to new purchases, except that Class B shares may continue to be
purchased in connection with an exchange or the reinvestment of dividends or
other distributions (including the investment of dividends and distributions in
Class B shares of another fund). From and after the Effective Date, except as
noted above, no new purchases of Class B shares will be allowed, whether by new
investors or existing shareholders, including purchases under an automatic
investment plan. The Effective Date is subject to change.

The closing of the Class B shares will not affect: (a) the right of shareholders
of Class B shares to continue to sell (redeem) their shares as provided in the
prospectus, subject to any applicable contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC");
or (b) the automatic conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares six years
after purchase. Class B shares held as of the Effective Date will continue as
Class B shares with all Class B attributes, including Rule 12b-1 fees, until
sold or until their automatic conversion to Class A shares.

Class A and Class C shares will continue to be offered as provided in the
applicable fund prospectus. Investors should note the differences among the
classes as described in the prospectus, including differences in sales charges
and operating expenses.

From and after the Effective Date, purchases by shareholders under Class B
shares automatic investment plans ("AIPs") established on or prior to December
1, 2009 will be automatically continued with Class A shares. Such shareholders
will then be permitted to purchase Class A shares at net asset value, without a
sales charge, whether as part of their AIP or otherwise. The foregoing applies
only to purchases under (i) AIPs established directly with DWS Investments ("DWS
AIPs") and, (ii) provided they are identified as an AIP by DWS Investments, AIPs
sponsored by others, such as government direct deposit, employer sponsored
payroll direct deposit and auto-debit programs established with the
shareholder's bank or credit union ("non-DWS AIP"). Shareholders with a non-DWS
AIP should contact DWS Investments at (800) 621-1048 prior to the Effective Date
to ensure that their account is identified as an AIP. For any AIP established
after December 1, 2009, this privilege to purchase Class A shares without a
sales charge will not apply and orders for Class B shares from such an AIP
received on or after the Effective Date will not be accepted. For this reason,
shareholders will not be permitted to establish DWS AIPs for Class B shares
after December 1, 2009 and shareholders should not establish non-DWS AIPs for
Class B shares after that date.

Additionally, from and after the Effective Date, certain employer-sponsored
employee benefit plans (known as "DWS Investments Flex Plans") using the
ExpertPlan subaccount record keeping system maintained for DWS
Investments-branded plans that are currently purchasing Class B shares instead
will purchase Class A shares at net asset value, without a sales charge.

The reinstatement feature described in the prospectus will be modified on the
Effective Date to no longer permit certain shareholders who have sold their
Class B shares to repurchase Class B shares within the six month period
following the sale with a reimbursement (in the form of shares) of the CDSC.
However, within the six month period after the sale, such shareholders may
continue to purchase Class A shares without a sales charge with the proceeds of
the sale of Class B shares (but without a reimbursement of the CDSC), subject to
the conditions of the reinstatement feature as described in the prospectus.
