For purposes of its industry concentration policy, the Fund classifies issuers of portfolio securities at the industry subgroup level. Certain of the categories in the above Schedule of Investments consist of multiple industry sub-groups or

industries.

The United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries have imposed sanctions on Russia, Russian companies, and Russian individuals in response to actions taken by Russia in recent years, including its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine and subsequent activities. In turn Russia has imposed sanctions on Western individuals, businesses and products, and the Russian central bank has taken actions that have effectively frozen investments by Western entities, including the Fund, in Russian companies. These sanctions have adversely affected not only the Russian economy but also the economies of many countries in Europe, including countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and the continuation of sanctions, or the imposition of new sanctions, may have further adverse effects on the Russian and European economies. As a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting dislocations, Western sanctions and Russia’s retaliatory measures, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio assets have been severely adversely affected, and its Russian investments (some of which are in companies that are subject to sanctions) have been fair valued at zero since March 14, 2022. It is not known if the situation will improve.

War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises, natural disasters, climate change and related geopolitical events have led and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Fund and its investments. In the case of the Fund, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has materially adversely affected, and may continue to materially adversely affect, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of January 31, 2024 in valuing the Fund’s investments.

(e) See Schedule of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

During the period ended January 31, 2024, the amount of transfers between Level 3 and Level 1 was $210,938. The investments were transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 due to increase in market activity. Transfers between price levels are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period.

OBTAIN AN OPEN-END FUND PROSPECTUS

To obtain a summary prospectus, if available, or prospectus, download one from fundsus.dws.com, talk to your

financial representative or call (800) 728-3337. We advise you to carefully consider the product's objectives, risks,

charges and expenses before investing. The summary prospectus and prospectus contain this and other important

information about the investment product. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

CLOSED-END FUNDS

Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one time public offering and once

issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds

frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the fund’s shares is determined by a number of factors,

several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at,

below or above net asset value.
