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

Portfolio Management Review (Unaudited)
 
Market Overview
 
All performance information below is historical and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal fluctuate, so your shares may be worth more or less when redeemed. Current performance may differ from performance data shown. Please visit www.dbadvisorsliquidity.com/US for the fund's most recent month-end performance. The 7-day current yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a 7-day period expressed as an annual percentage rate of the fund's shares outstanding. Yields fluctuate and are not guaranteed.
 
Investment Objective
The fund seeks to provide a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. The fund is a feeder fund that invests substantially all of its assets in a "master portfolio," the Cash Management Portfolio, which will invest directly in securities and other instruments. The Cash Management Portfolio has the same investment objective as the fund.
 
During the first quarter of 2012, efforts by the European Central Bank (ECB) to ensure adequate funding access at low rates for the Continent's major banks momentarily reassured investors and led to a rally in global financial markets. However, in May 2012, we saw another dramatic "flight to quality," as worries concerning Greece's upcoming elections and continuingly worsening conditions for Spanish and Italian banks led global and domestic investors to abandon risk assets. Toward the close of the period, any negative economic data was overshadowed by investor anticipation of more substantial Central Bank actions. First, the ECB lowered its interest rate for bank reserves. Then, the head of the ECB, Mario Draghi, stated that the Central Bank would do "whatever it takes" to preserve the euro. In addition, the fact that Germany has hinted that it may be willing to participate in a European quantitative easing program provided substantial encouragement to investors. Lastly, in December 2012, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) altered its guidance regarding rate levels, stating that it would maintain short-term interest rates near zero until U.S. unemployment dropped below 6.5%, and as long as inflation levels did not exceed 2.5%.
 
Fund Performance (as of December 31, 2012)
 
Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
 
An investment in this fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or by any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price.
 
7-Day Current Yield
 
December 31, 2012
    .01 %*
December 31, 2011
    .01 %*
* The investment advisor has agreed to waive fees/reimburse expenses. Without such fee waivers/expense reimbursements, the 7-day current yield would have been lower.
 
 
Yields are historical, will fluctuate and do not guarantee future performance. The 7-day current yield refers to the income paid by the portfolio over a 7-day period expressed as an annual percentage rate of the fund's shares outstanding. Please visit our Web site at www.dbadvisorsliquidity.com/US for the product's most recent month-end performance.
 
Positive Contributors to Fund Performance
 
Over the period, we continued to hold a large percentage of fund assets in short-maturity instruments for liquidity purposes as well as for high quality and yield. We also maintained a relatively conservative average maturity, with fund assets broadly diversified among a number of geographical areas for money market investment, such as Canada, Scandinavia, the United States and the United Kingdom. Because we believed that overnight money market yields would decline due to heavy investor demand, at certain times during the course of the reporting period, we permitted the fund's weighted average maturity to lengthen somewhat to seek to capture additional yield for the portfolio.
 
 
Negative Contributors to Fund Performance
 
The types of securities that we were investing in tended to have shorter maturities and lower yields than issues carrying more risk. We preferred to be cautious during a time of market fluctuation. In the end this cost the fund some yield, but we believe that this represented a prudent approach to preserving principal.
 
Outlook and Positioning
 
In the United States, we continue to foresee an artificially low interest rate environment because of a decline in the volume of money market supply, a large number of money market issues maturing with principal needing to be reinvested and continued strong demand from investors seeking principal stability and safety. Going forward, we will continue to be highly selective when adding credits in longer maturities. We also plan to remain flexible in order to react quickly to any shift in the tone of the investment markets.
 
 
Portfolio Management Team
 
A group of investment professionals is responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund. These investment professionals have a broad range of experience managing money market funds.
 
The views expressed reflect those of the portfolio management team only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The management team's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.
 
Terms to Know
 
The yield curve is a graphical representation of how yields on bonds of different maturities compare. Normally, yield curves slant up, as bonds with longer maturities typically offer higher yields than short-term bonds.
 
Quantitative easing is a government monetary policy often used when interest rates are at or near zero. With this policy, government or other securities are purchased from the market in an effort to increase monetary supply and to produce the desired effect of raising interest rates.
 
Weighted average maturity — the average maturity of all the securities that make up a fund portfolio, expressed in days or years.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Cash Management Fund (the "Fund'') is a series of DWS Money Market Trust (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 currently offers one class of shares, Institutional Shares, to investors.
 
The Fund is a feeder fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its investable assets in a master portfolio, the Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio''), an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act and organized as a New York trust advised by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA'' or the "Advisor''), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG. A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder fund"), instead of investing directly in a portfolio of securities, invests most or all of its investment assets in a separate registered investment company (the "master fund") with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the feeder fund. Such a structure permits the pooling of assets of two or more feeder funds, preserving separate identities or distribution channels at the feeder fund level. At December 31, 2012, the Fund owned approximately 10% of the Portfolio.
 
The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Investment Portfolio, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
 
Security Valuation. The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio at value, which reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. Valuation of the securities held by the Portfolio is discussed in the notes to the Portfolio's financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
 
Disclosure about the classification of fair value measurements is included in a table following the Portfolio's Investment Portfolio.
 
New Accounting Pronouncement. In January 2013, Accounting Standard Update 2013-01 (ASU 2013-01), Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 (ASU 2011-11), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. The ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Fund's financial statements.
 
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.
 
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, net capital losses incurred post-enactment may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
 
At December 31, 2012, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $182,000 of pre-enactment losses, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until December 31, 2016, the expiration date, whichever occurs first.
 
The Fund has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2012 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 open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly. The Fund may take into account capital gains and losses in its daily dividend declarations. The Fund may also make additional distributions for tax purposes if necessary.
 
Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book to tax differences for the Fund.
 
At December 31, 2012, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Capital loss carryforward
  $ (182,000 )
 
In addition, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund is summarized as follows:
   
Years Ended December 31,
 
   
2012
   
2011
 
Distributions from ordinary income
  $ 242,538     $ 251,515  
 
Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Other. The Fund receives an allocation of the Portfolio's net investment income and net realized gains and losses in proportion to its investment in the Portfolio. Expenses directly attributed to a fund are charged to that fund, while expenses which are attributable to the Trust are allocated among the funds in the Trust on the basis of relative net assets.
 
B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
 
Management Agreement. Under the Investment Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor serves as the investment manager to the Fund. The Advisor receives a management fee from the Portfolio pursuant to the master/feeder structure listed above in Note A.
 
Administration Fee. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, DIMA provides most administrative services to the Fund. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee ("Administration Fee") of 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Administration Fee was $2,383,681, of which $208,503 is unpaid.
 
For the period from January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013, DIMA has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund, including expenses of the Portfolio allocated to the Fund, to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest) at 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
 
In addition, the Advisor has agreed to voluntarily waive additional expenses. The waiver may be changed or terminated at any time without notice. Under this arrangement, the Advisor waived certain expenses of the Fund.
 
Service Provider Fees. DWS Investments Service Company ("DISC"), 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 DISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), DISC has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent functions to DST. DISC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amount charged to the Fund by DISC aggregated $84,954, of which $25,906 is unpaid.
 
Shareholder Servicing Fee. DWS Investments Distributors, Inc. ("DIDI"), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides information and administrative services for a fee ("Service Fee") to shareholders at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets. DIDI 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 firm services. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Service Fee was as follows:
   
Total Aggregated
   
Waived
   
Unpaid at December 31, 2012
   
Annual Effective Rate
 
Cash Management Fund
  $ 1,340,270     $ 802,925     $ 247,330       .02 %
 
Typesetting and Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DIMA, DIMA is compensated for providing typesetting and certain regulatory filing services to the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amount charged to the Fund by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "reports to shareholders" aggregated $18,966, of which $9,915 is unpaid.
 
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Fund paid retainer fees to each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor, plus specified amounts to the Board Chairperson and to each committee Chairperson.
 
C. Concentration of Ownership
 
From time to time, the Fund may have a concentration of several shareholder accounts holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund.
 
At December 31, 2012, there was one shareholder account that held approximately 41% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
 
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Trustees of DWS Money Market Trust and Shareholders of Cash Management Fund:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cash Management Fund (hereafter referred to as the "Fund'') at December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements'') are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
 
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, the Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The example in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012).
 
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.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2012 in valuing the Portfolio's investments. For information on the Portfolio's policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note A in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio'') is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act''), as an open-end management investment company organized as a New York trust.
 
The Portfolio is a master fund. A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder fund"), instead of investing directly in a portfolio of securities, invests most or all of its investment assets in a separate registered investment company (the "master fund") with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the feeder fund. Such a structure permits the pooling of assets of two or more feeder funds, preserving separate identities or distribution channels at the feeder fund level. The Portfolio may have several feeder funds, including affiliated DWS feeder funds and unaffiliated feeder funds; with a significant ownership percentage of the Portfolio's net assets. Investment activities of these feeder funds could have a material impact on the Portfolio. As of December 31, 2012, Cash Management Fund, Cash Reserves Fund Institutional, Cash Reserves Fund — Prime Series and DWS Money Market Series owned approximately 10%, 7%, 3% and 78%, respectively, of the Portfolio.
 
The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
Security Valuation. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The Portfolio values all securities utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization rate to maturity of any discount or premium. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.
 
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Portfolio, through its custodian or a sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The custodian bank or another designated subcustodian holds the collateral in a separate account until the agreement matures. If the value of the securities falls below the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest, the financial institution deposits additional collateral by the following business day. If the financial institution either fails to deposit the required additional collateral or fails to repurchase the securities as agreed, the Portfolio has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Portfolio's claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
 
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio is considered a Partnership under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is necessary.
 
It is intended that the Portfolio's assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code, assuming that the investor invested all of its assets in the Portfolio.
 
The Portfolio has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2012 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio's financial statements. The Portfolio's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions of income and capital gains from investment companies are 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.
 
The Portfolio makes an allocation of its net investment income and realized gains and losses from securities transactions to its investors in proportion to their investment in the Portfolio.
 
B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
 
Management Agreement. Under the Investment Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Portfolio.
 
Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Portfolio pays the Advisor a monthly management fee based on its average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at the following annual rates:
First $3.0 billion of the Portfolio's average daily net assets
    .1500 %
Next $4.5 billion of such net assets
    .1325 %
Over $7.5 billion of such net assets
    .1200 %
 
The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest) at 0.14% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The waiver may be changed or terminated at anytime without notice.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Advisor waived a portion of its management fee aggregating $5,747,176, and the amount charged aggregated $23,118,997, which was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.10% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.
 
Administration Fee. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, DIMA provides most administrative services to the Portfolio. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Portfolio pays the Advisor an annual fee ("Administration Fee") of 0.03% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Administration Fee was $6,850,915, of which $683,254 is unpaid.
 
Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DIMA, DIMA is compensated for providing certain regulatory filing services to the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amount charged to the Portfolio by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "reports to shareholders" aggregated $973, all of which is unpaid.
 
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Portfolio paid retainer fees to each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor, plus specified amounts to the Board Chairperson and to each committee Chairperson.
 
C. Line of Credit
 
The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $375 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. The Portfolio may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated based on net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25 percent plus if LIBOR exceeds the Federal Funds Rate the amount of such excess. The Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. The Portfolio had no outstanding loans at December 31, 2012.
 
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Trustees and Holders of Beneficial Interest of Cash Management Portfolio:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cash Management Portfolio (hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio'') at December 31, 2012, 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 Portfolio's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Management Agreement Approval
 
Cash Management Fund (the "Fund"), a series of DWS Money Market Trust, invests all of its assets in Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio") in order to achieve its investment objective. The Portfolio's Board of Trustees approved the renewal of the Portfolio's investment management agreement (the "Portfolio Agreement") with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DWS") and the Fund's Board of Trustees (which consists of the same members as the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio), including the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Fund's investment management agreement with DWS (the "Fund Agreement," and together with the Portfolio Agreement, the "Agreements") in September 2012. The Portfolio's Board of Trustees and the Fund's Board of Trustees are collectively referred to as the "Board."
 
In terms of the process that the Board followed prior to approving the Agreements, shareholders should know that:
 
In September 2012, all of the Portfolio's and Fund's Trustees were independent of DWS and its affiliates.
 
The Trustees met frequently during the past year to discuss fund matters and dedicated a substantial amount of time to contract review matters. Over the course of several months, the Board's Contract Committee, in coordination with the Board's Fixed Income and Quant Oversight Committee, reviewed comprehensive materials received from DWS, independent third parties and independent counsel. These materials included an analysis of performance, fees and expenses, and profitability compiled by an independent fee consultant. The Board also received extensive information throughout the year regarding performance of the Portfolio and the Fund.
 
The Independent Trustees regularly meet privately with their independent counsel to discuss contract review and other matters. In addition, the Independent Trustees were also advised by an independent fee consultant in the course of their review of the Portfolio's and the Fund's contractual arrangements and considered a comprehensive report prepared by the independent fee consultant in connection with their deliberations (the "IFC Report").
 
In connection with reviewing the Agreements, the Board also reviewed the terms of the Fund's distribution agreement, administrative services agreement, transfer agency agreement and other material service agreements.
 
Based on its evaluation of the information provided, the Contract Committee presented its findings and recommendations to the Board. The Board then reviewed the Contract Committee's findings and recommendations.
 
In connection with the contract review process, the Contract Committee and the Board considered the factors discussed below, among others. The Board also considered that DWS and its predecessors have managed the Portfolio and the Fund since their inception, and the Board believes that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious advisor is in the best interests of the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board considered, generally, that shareholders chose to invest or remain invested in the Fund knowing that DWS managed the Portfolio and the Fund, and that the Fund Agreement was approved by the Fund's shareholders. DWS is part of Deutsche Bank, a major global banking institution that is engaged in a wide range of financial services. The Board believes that there are 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.
 
As part of the contract review process, the Board carefully considered the fees and expenses of each DWS fund overseen by the Board in light of the fund's performance. In many cases, this led to a negotiation with DWS of lower expense caps for the coming year than had previously been in place. As part of these negotiations, the Board indicated that it would consider relaxing these new lower caps in future years following sustained improvements in performance, among other considerations.
 
In June 2012, Deutsche Bank ("DB"), DWS's parent company, announced that DB's new management team had concluded the strategic review of its global asset management business announced in late 2011 by DB's prior management team, and would combine its Asset Management (of which DWS is a part) and Wealth Management divisions. Prior to approving the investment management agreements, the Independent Trustees were apprised of the expected management and structure of the new combined Asset & Wealth Management division ("AWM") and DWS. DB also advised the Independent Trustees that the U.S. asset management business is a critical and integral part of DB and AWM, and that DB would be reinvesting a significant portion of the substantial savings it expects to realize by combining its Asset Management and Wealth Management divisions into a combined AWM division, including enhancements to its investment capabilities. DB also confirmed its commitment to maintaining strong legal and compliance groups within the combined division.
 
While shareholders may focus primarily on fund performance and fees, the Board considers these and many other factors, including the quality and integrity of DWS's personnel and such other issues as back-office operations, fund valuations, and compliance policies and procedures.
 
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered the terms of the Agreements, including the scope of advisory services provided under the Agreements. The Board noted that, under the Agreements, DWS provides portfolio management services to the Portfolio and the Fund and that, pursuant to separate administrative services agreements, DWS provides administrative services to the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management and investment personnel, the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of DWS to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of DWS. The Board reviewed the Portfolio's and the Fund's performance over short-term and long-term periods and compared those returns to various agreed-upon performance measures, including market indices and a peer universe compiled by the independent fee consultant using information supplied by iMoneyNet Inc. ("iMoneyNet"), an independent fund data service. The Board also noted that it has put into place a process of identifying "Focus Funds" (e.g., funds performing poorly relative to their benchmark or a peer universe compiled by an independent fund data service), and receives more frequent reporting and information from DWS regarding such funds, along with DWS's remedial plans to address underperformance. The Board believes this process is an effective manner of identifying and addressing underperforming funds. Based on the information provided, the Board noted that for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2011, the Fund's gross performance (Institutional Shares) was in the 3rd quartile of the applicable iMoneyNet universe (the 1st quartile being the best performers and the 4th quartile being the worst performers).
 
Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the Portfolio's and the Fund's investment management fee schedules and the Fund's operating expenses and total expense ratios, and comparative information provided by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper") and the independent fee consultant regarding investment management fee rates paid to other investment advisors by similar funds (1st quartile being the most favorable and 4th quartile being the least favorable). With respect to management fees paid to other investment advisors by similar funds, the Board noted that the contractual fee rates paid by the Portfolio and the Fund, which include 0.03% and 0.10% fees paid to DWS under the respective administrative services agreements, were lower than the median (2nd quartile) of the applicable Lipper peer group (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2011). The Board noted that, although shareholders of the Fund indirectly bear the Portfolio's management fee, the Fund does not charge an additional investment management fee. The Board noted that the Fund's total (net) operating expenses, which include Portfolio expenses allocated to the Fund, were lower than the median of the applicable Lipper expense universe for Institutional Shares (2nd quartile) (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2011). The Board considered the Portfolio's management fee rate as compared to fees charged by DWS and certain of its affiliates for comparable mutual funds and considered differences in fund and fee structures between the DWS Funds. 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 noted the expense limitation agreed to by DWS. The Board also noted the significant voluntary fee waivers implemented by DWS to ensure the Fund maintained a positive yield.
 
The information considered by the Board as part of its review of management fees included information regarding fees charged by DWS and its affiliates to similar institutional accounts and to similar funds offered primarily to European investors ("DWS Europe funds"), in each case as applicable. The Board observed that advisory fee rates for institutional accounts generally were lower than the management fees charged by similarly managed DWS U.S. mutual funds ("DWS Funds"), but also took note of the differences in services provided to DWS Funds as compared to institutional accounts. In the case of DWS Europe funds, the Board observed that fee rates for DWS Europe funds generally were higher than for similarly managed DWS Funds, but noted that differences in the types of services provided to DWS Funds relative to DWS Europe funds made it difficult to compare such fees.
 
On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that management fees were reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by DWS.
 
Profitability. The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by DWS under the Agreements. The Board considered the estimated costs and pre-tax profits realized by DWS from advising the DWS Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of DWS and its affiliates with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board and the independent fee consultant reviewed DWS's methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the pre-tax profits realized by DWS in connection with the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. 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), DWS and its affiliates' overall profitability with respect to the DWS fund complex (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by DWS and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of many comparable firms for which such data was available.
 
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolio and the Fund and whether the Portfolio and the Fund benefit from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the Portfolio's management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Portfolio's and the Fund's fee schedules represent an appropriate sharing between the Portfolio and the Fund, as the case may be, and DWS of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Portfolio and the Fund at current asset levels.
 
Other Benefits to DWS and Its Affiliates. The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by DWS and its affiliates, including any fees received by DWS for administrative services provided to the Portfolio and the Fund and any fees received by an affiliate of DWS for distribution services. The Board also considered benefits to DWS related to brokerage and soft-dollar allocations, including allocating brokerage to pay for research generated by parties other than the executing broker dealers, which pertain primarily to funds investing in equity securities, along with the incidental public relations benefits to DWS related to DWS Funds advertising and cross-selling opportunities among DWS products and services. The Board concluded that management fees were reasonable in light of these fallout benefits.
 
Compliance. The Board considered the significant attention and resources dedicated by DWS to documenting and enhancing its compliance processes in recent years. The Board noted in particular (i) the experience and seniority of both DWS's chief compliance officer and the Fund's chief compliance officer; (ii) the large number of DWS compliance personnel; and (iii) the substantial commitment of resources by DWS and its affiliates to compliance matters.
 
Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board unanimously determined that the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of the Portfolio and the Fund. In making this determination, the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor identified above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, certain of which were in executive session with only the Independent Trustees 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 Agreements.
 
Summary of Management Fee Evaluation by Independent Fee Consultant
 
September 17, 2012
 
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 Funds (formerly 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 2012, including my qualifications, the evaluation process for each of the DWS Funds, consideration of certain complex-level factors, and my conclusions. I served in substantially the same capacity in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
 
Qualifications
 
For more than 35 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 ten 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 and have served in various leadership and financial oversight capacities with non-profit organizations.
 
Evaluation of Fees for each DWS Fund
 
My work focused primarily on evaluating, fund-by-fund, the fees charged to each of the 103 mutual fund portfolios in the DWS 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 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 Fund. These similar products included the other DWS 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 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 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 "fallout" 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 Fund expenses had varied over the years, by asset class and in the context of trends in asset levels.
 
I considered how aggregated DWS Fund performance measures relative to appropriate peers had varied by asset class and over time.
 
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 Funds are reasonable.

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

Market Overview
 
All performance information below is historical and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal fluctuate, so your shares may be worth more or less when redeemed. Current performance may differ from performance data shown. Please visit www.dbadvisorsliquidity.com/US for the fund's most recent month-end performance. The 7-day current yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a 7-day period expressed as an annual percentage rate of the fund's shares outstanding. Yields fluctuate and are not guaranteed.
 
Investment Objective
The fund seeks to provide a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. The fund is a feeder fund that invests substantially all of its assets in a "master portfolio," the Cash Management Portfolio, which will invest directly in securities and other instruments. The Cash Management Portfolio has the same investment objective as the fund.
 
During the first quarter of 2012, efforts by the European Central Bank (ECB) to ensure adequate funding access at low rates for the Continent's major banks momentarily reassured investors and led to a rally in global financial markets. However, in May 2012, we saw another dramatic "flight to quality," as worries concerning Greece's upcoming elections and continuingly worsening conditions for Spanish and Italian banks led global and domestic investors to abandon risk assets. Toward the close of the period, any negative economic data was overshadowed by investor anticipation of more substantial Central Bank actions. First, the ECB lowered its interest rate for bank reserves. Then, the head of the ECB, Mario Draghi, stated that the Central Bank would do "whatever it takes" to preserve the euro. In addition, the fact that Germany has hinted that it may be willing to participate in a European quantitative easing program provided substantial encouragement to investors. Lastly, in December 2012, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) altered its guidance regarding rate levels, stating that it would maintain short-term interest rates near zero until U.S. unemployment dropped below 6.5%, and as long as inflation levels did not exceed 2.5%.

Yields are historical, will fluctuate and do not guarantee future performance. The 7-day current yield refers to the income paid by the portfolio over a 7-day period expressed as an annual percentage rate of the fund's shares outstanding.

Positive Contributors to Fund Performance
 
Over the period, we continued to hold a large percentage of fund assets in short-maturity instruments for liquidity purposes as well as for high quality and yield. We also maintained a relatively conservative average maturity, with fund assets broadly diversified among a number of geographical areas for money market investment, such as Canada, Scandinavia, the United States and the United Kingdom. Because we believed that overnight money market yields would decline due to heavy investor demand, at certain times during the course of the reporting period, we permitted the fund's weighted average maturity to lengthen somewhat to seek to capture additional yield for the portfolio.
 
 
Negative Contributors to Fund Performance
 
The types of securities that we were investing in tended to have shorter maturities and lower yields than issues carrying more risk. We preferred to be cautious during a time of market fluctuation. In the end this cost the fund some yield, but we believe that this represented a prudent approach to preserving principal.
 
Outlook and Positioning
 
In the United States, we continue to foresee an artificially low interest rate environment because of a decline in the volume of money market supply, a large number of money market issues maturing with principal needing to be reinvested and continued strong demand from investors seeking principal stability and safety. Going forward, we will continue to be highly selective when adding credits in longer maturities. We also plan to remain flexible in order to react quickly to any shift in the tone of the investment markets.
 
 
Portfolio Management Team
 
A group of investment professionals is responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund. These investment professionals have a broad range of experience managing money market funds.
 
The views expressed reflect those of the portfolio management team only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The management team's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.
 
Terms to Know
 
The yield curve is a graphical representation of how yields on bonds of different maturities compare. Normally, yield curves slant up, as bonds with longer maturities typically offer higher yields than short-term bonds.
 
Quantitative easing is a government monetary policy often used when interest rates are at or near zero. With this policy, government or other securities are purchased from the market in an effort to increase monetary supply and to produce the desired effect of raising interest rates.
 
Weighted average maturity — the average maturity of all the securities that make up a fund portfolio, expressed in days or years.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Cash Reserve Fund — Prime Series (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Cash Reserve Fund, Inc., which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company and is organized as a corporation under the laws of the state of Maryland.
 
The Fund is a feeder fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its investable assets in a master portfolio, the Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio''), an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act and organized as a New York trust advised by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA'' or the "Advisor''), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG. A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder fund"), instead of investing directly in a portfolio of securities, invests most or all of its investment assets in a separate registered investment company (the "master fund") with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the feeder fund. Such a structure permits the pooling of assets of two or more feeder funds, preserving separate identities or distribution channels at the feeder fund level. At December 31, 2012, the Fund owned approximately 3% of the Portfolio.
 
The Fund offers three classes of shares to investors: Cash Reserve Prime Shares ("Prime Shares"), Cash Reserve Prime Institutional Shares ("Prime Institutional Shares") and Managed Shares.
 
Investment income, realized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, were borne pro rata on the basis of relative net assets by the holders of all classes of shares, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and service fees, services to shareholders and certain other class-specific expenses. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by class. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific arrangements.
 
The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Investment Portfolio, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
 
Security Valuation. The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio at value, which reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. Valuation of the securities held by the Portfolio is discussed in the notes to the Portfolio's financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
 
Disclosure about the classification of fair value measurements is included in a table following the Portfolio's investment Portfolio.
 
New Accounting Pronouncement. In January 2013, Accounting Standard Update 2013-01 (ASU 2013-01), Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 (ASU 2011-11), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. The ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Fund's financial statements.
 
Federal Income Taxes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
 
The Fund has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2012 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 periods/years remain open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly. The Fund may take into account capital gains and losses in its daily dividend declarations. The Fund may also make additional distributions for tax purposes if necessary.
 
Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book to tax differences for the Fund.
 
At December 31, 2012, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income
  $ 63,486  
 
In addition, the tax character of the distributions was characterized as follows:
   
Years Ended December 31,
 
   
2012
   
2011
 
Distributions from ordinary income*
  $ 141,808     $ 215,666  
 
* For tax purposes, short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.
 
Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Other. The Fund receives an allocation of the Portfolio's net investment income and net realized gains and losses in proportion to its investment in the Portfolio. Expenses directly attributed to a fund are charged to that fund, while expenses which are attributable to the Corporation are allocated among the Funds in the Corporation on the basis of relative net assets.
 
B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
 
Management Agreement. Under the Investment Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor serves as the investment manager to the Fund. The Advisor receives a management fee from the Portfolio pursuant to the master/feeder structure listed above in Note A.
 
Administration Fee. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, DIMA provides most administrative services to the Fund. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee ("Administration Fee") of 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Administration Fee was $1,017,383, of which $76,221 is unpaid.
 
For the period from January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of Managed Shares Class to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest) at 0.45%.
 
In addition, the Advisor has agreed to voluntarily waive additional expenses. The waiver may be changed or terminated at any time without notice. Under this arrangement, the Advisor waived certain expenses of the Fund.
 
Service Provider Fees. DWS Investments Service Company ("DISC"), 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 DISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"). DISC has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent functions to DST. DISC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amounts charged to the Fund by DISC were as follows:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cash Reserve Fund — Prime Series (hereafter referred to as the "Fund'') at December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements'') are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
 
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, the Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The example in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012).
 
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.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2012 in valuing the Portfolio's investments. For information on the Portfolio's policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note A in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio'') is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act''), as an open-end management investment company organized as a New York trust.
 
The Portfolio is a master fund. A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder fund"), instead of investing directly in a portfolio of securities, invests most or all of its investment assets in a separate registered investment company (the "master fund") with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the feeder fund. Such a structure permits the pooling of assets of two or more feeder funds, preserving separate identities or distribution channels at the feeder fund level. The Portfolio may have several feeder funds, including affiliated DWS feeder funds and unaffiliated feeder funds; with a significant ownership percentage of the Portfolio's net assets. Investment activities of these feeder funds could have a material impact on the Portfolio. As of December 31, 2012, Cash Management Fund, Cash Reserves Fund Institutional, Cash Reserves Fund — Prime Series and DWS Money Market Series owned approximately 10%, 7%, 3% and 78%, respectively, of the Portfolio.
 
The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
Security Valuation. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The Portfolio values all securities utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization rate to maturity of any discount or premium. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.
 
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Portfolio, through its custodian or a sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The custodian bank or another designated subcustodian holds the collateral in a separate account until the agreement matures. If the value of the securities falls below the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest, the financial institution deposits additional collateral by the following business day. If the financial institution either fails to deposit the required additional collateral or fails to repurchase the securities as agreed, the Portfolio has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Portfolio's claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
 
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio is considered a Partnership under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is necessary.
 
It is intended that the Portfolio's assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code, assuming that the investor invested all of its assets in the Portfolio.
 
The Portfolio has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2012 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio's financial statements. The Portfolio's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions of income and capital gains from investment companies are 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.
 
The Portfolio makes an allocation of its net investment income and realized gains and losses from securities transactions to its investors in proportion to their investment in the Portfolio.
 
B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
 
Management Agreement. Under the Investment Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Portfolio.
 
Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Portfolio pays the Advisor a monthly management fee based on its average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at the following annual rates:
First $3.0 billion of the Portfolio's average daily net assets
    .1500 %
Next $4.5 billion of such net assets
    .1325 %
Over $7.5 billion of such net assets
    .1200 %
 
The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest) at 0.14% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The waiver may be changed or terminated at anytime without notice.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Advisor waived a portion of its management fee aggregating $5,747,176, and the amount charged aggregated $23,118,997, which was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.10% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.
 
Administration Fee. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, DIMA provides most administrative services to the Portfolio. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Portfolio pays the Advisor an annual fee ("Administration Fee") of 0.03% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Administration Fee was $6,850,915, of which $683,254 is unpaid.
 
Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DIMA, DIMA is compensated for providing certain regulatory filing services to the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amount charged to the Portfolio by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "reports to shareholders" aggregated $973, all of which is unpaid.
 
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Portfolio paid retainer fees to each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor, plus specified amounts to the Board Chairperson and to each committee Chairperson.
 
C. Line of Credit
 
The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $375 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. The Portfolio may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated based on net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25 percent plus if LIBOR exceeds the Federal Funds Rate the amount of such excess. The Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. The Portfolio had no outstanding loans at December 31, 2012.
 
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Trustees and Holders of Beneficial Interest of Cash Management Portfolio:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cash Management Portfolio (hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio'') at December 31, 2012, 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 Portfolio's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Management Agreement Approval
 
Cash Reserve Fund — Prime Series (the "Fund"), a series of Cash Reserve Fund, Inc., invests all of its assets in Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio") in order to achieve its investment objective. The Portfolio's Board of Trustees approved the renewal of the Portfolio's investment management agreement (the "Portfolio Agreement") with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DWS") and the Fund's Board of Directors (which consists of the same members as the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio), including the Independent Directors, approved the renewal of the Fund's investment management agreement with DWS (the "Fund Agreement," and together with the Portfolio Agreement, the "Agreements") in September 2012. The Portfolio's Board of Trustees and the Fund's Board of Directors are collectively referred to as the "Board."
 
In terms of the process that the Board followed prior to approving the Agreements, shareholders should know that:
 
In September 2012, all of the Portfolio's Trustees and the Fund's Directors were independent of DWS and its affiliates.
 
The Board met frequently during the past year to discuss fund matters and dedicated a substantial amount of time to contract review matters. Over the course of several months, the Board's Contract Committee, in coordination with the Board's Fixed Income and Quant Oversight Committee, reviewed comprehensive materials received from DWS, independent third parties and independent counsel. These materials included an analysis of performance, fees and expenses, and profitability compiled by an independent fee consultant. The Board also received extensive information throughout the year regarding performance of the Portfolio and the Fund.
 
The Independent Trustees/Directors regularly meet privately with their independent counsel to discuss contract review and other matters. In addition, the Independent Trustees/Directors were also advised by an independent fee consultant in the course of their review of the Portfolio's and the Fund's contractual arrangements and considered a comprehensive report prepared by the independent fee consultant in connection with their deliberations (the "IFC Report").
 
In connection with reviewing the Agreements, the Board also reviewed the terms of the Fund's Rule 12b-1 plan, distribution agreement, administrative services agreement, transfer agency agreement and other material service agreements.
 
Based on its evaluation of the information provided, the Contract Committee presented its findings and recommendations to the Board. The Board then reviewed the Contract Committee's findings and recommendations.
 
In connection with the contract review process, the Contract Committee and the Board considered the factors discussed below, among others. The Board also considered that DWS and its predecessors have managed the Portfolio and the Fund since their inception, and the Board believes that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious advisor is in the best interests of the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board considered, generally, that shareholders chose to invest or remain invested in the Fund knowing that DWS managed the Portfolio and the Fund, and that the Fund Agreement was approved by the Fund's shareholders. DWS is part of Deutsche Bank, a major global banking institution that is engaged in a wide range of financial services. The Board believes that there are 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.
 
As part of the contract review process, the Board carefully considered the fees and expenses of each DWS fund overseen by the Board in light of the fund's performance. In many cases, this led to a negotiation with DWS of lower expense caps for the coming year than had previously been in place. As part of these negotiations, the Board indicated that it would consider relaxing these new lower caps in future years following sustained improvements in performance, among other considerations.
 
In June 2012, Deutsche Bank ("DB"), DWS's parent company, announced that DB's new management team had concluded the strategic review of its global asset management business announced in late 2011 by DB's prior management team, and would combine its Asset Management (of which DWS is a part) and Wealth Management divisions. Prior to approving the investment management agreements, the Independent Trustees/Directors were apprised of the expected management and structure of the new combined Asset & Wealth Management division ("AWM") and DWS. DB also advised the Independent Trustees/Directors that the U.S. asset management business is a critical and integral part of DB and AWM, and that DB would be reinvesting a significant portion of the substantial savings it expects to realize by combining its Asset Management and Wealth Management divisions into a combined AWM division, including enhancements to its investment capabilities. DB also confirmed its commitment to maintaining strong legal and compliance groups within the combined division.
 
While shareholders may focus primarily on fund performance and fees, the Board considers these and many other factors, including the quality and integrity of DWS's personnel and such other issues as back-office operations, fund valuations, and compliance policies and procedures.
 
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered the terms of the Agreements, including the scope of advisory services provided under the Agreements. The Board noted that, under the Agreements, DWS provides portfolio management services to the Portfolio and the Fund and that, pursuant to separate administrative services agreements, DWS provides administrative services to the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management and investment personnel, the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of DWS to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of DWS. The Board reviewed the Portfolio's and the Fund's performance over short-term and long-term periods and compared those returns to various agreed-upon performance measures, including market indices and a peer universe compiled by the independent fee consultant using information supplied by iMoneyNet Inc. ("iMoneyNet"), an independent fund data service. The Board also noted that it has put into place a process of identifying "Focus Funds" (e.g., funds performing poorly relative to their benchmark or a peer universe compiled by an independent fund data service), and receives more frequent reporting and information from DWS regarding such funds, along with DWS's remedial plans to address underperformance. The Board believes this process is an effective manner of identifying and addressing underperforming funds. Based on the information provided, the Board noted that for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2011, the Fund's gross performance (Cash Reserve Prime Shares) was in the 3rd quartile of the applicable iMoneyNet universe (the 1st quartile being the best performers and the 4th quartile being the worst performers).
 
Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the Portfolio's and the Fund's investment management fee schedules and the Fund's operating expenses and total expense ratios, and comparative information provided by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper") and the independent fee consultant regarding investment management fee rates paid to other investment advisors by similar funds (1st quartile being the most favorable and 4th quartile being the least favorable). With respect to management fees paid to other investment advisors by similar funds, the Board noted that the contractual fee rates paid by the Portfolio and the Fund, which include 0.03% and 0.10% fees paid to DWS under the respective administrative services agreements, were lower than the median (2nd quartile) of the applicable Lipper peer group (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2011). The Board noted that, although shareholders of the Fund indirectly bear the Portfolio's management fee, the Fund does not charge an additional investment management fee. The Board noted that the Fund's total (net) operating expenses, which include Portfolio expenses allocated to the Fund, were lower than the median of the applicable Lipper expense universe for the Prime Institutional Shares (2nd quartile), Managed Shares (1st quartile) and Cash Reserve Prime Shares (1st quartile) (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2011). The Board considered the Portfolio's management fee rate as compared to fees charged by DWS and certain of its affiliates for comparable mutual funds and considered differences in fund and fee structures between the DWS Funds. 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 noted the expense limitations agreed to by DWS. The Board also noted the significant voluntary fee waivers implemented by DWS to ensure the Fund maintained a positive yield.
 
The information considered by the Board as part of its review of management fees included information regarding fees charged by DWS and its affiliates to similar institutional accounts and to similar funds offered primarily to European investors ("DWS Europe funds"), in each case as applicable. The Board observed that advisory fee rates for institutional accounts generally were lower than the management fees charged by similarly managed DWS U.S. mutual funds ("DWS Funds"), but also took note of the differences in services provided to DWS Funds as compared to institutional accounts. In the case of DWS Europe funds, the Board observed that fee rates for DWS Europe funds generally were higher than for similarly managed DWS Funds, but noted that differences in the types of services provided to DWS Funds relative to DWS Europe funds made it difficult to compare such fees.
 
On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that management fees were reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by DWS.
 
Profitability. The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by DWS under the Agreements. The Board considered the estimated costs and pre-tax profits realized by DWS from advising the DWS Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of DWS and its affiliates with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board and the independent fee consultant reviewed DWS's methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the pre-tax profits realized by DWS in connection with the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. 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), DWS and its affiliates' overall profitability with respect to the DWS fund complex (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by DWS and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of many comparable firms for which such data was available.
 
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolio and the Fund and whether the Portfolio and the Fund benefit from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the Portfolio's management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Portfolio's and the Fund's fee schedules represent an appropriate sharing between the Portfolio and the Fund, as the case may be, and DWS of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Portfolio and the Fund at current asset levels.
 
Other Benefits to DWS and Its Affiliates. The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by DWS and its affiliates, including any fees received by DWS for administrative services provided to the Portfolio and the Fund and any fees received by an affiliate of DWS for distribution services. The Board also considered benefits to DWS related to brokerage and soft-dollar allocations, including allocating brokerage to pay for research generated by parties other than the executing broker dealers, which pertain primarily to funds investing in equity securities, along with the incidental public relations benefits to DWS related to DWS Funds advertising and cross-selling opportunities among DWS products and services. The Board concluded that management fees were reasonable in light of these fallout benefits.
 
Compliance. The Board considered the significant attention and resources dedicated by DWS to documenting and enhancing its compliance processes in recent years. The Board noted in particular (i) the experience and seniority of both DWS's chief compliance officer and the Fund's chief compliance officer; (ii) the large number of DWS compliance personnel; and (iii) the substantial commitment of resources by DWS and its affiliates to compliance matters.
 
Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board unanimously determined that the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of the Portfolio and the Fund. In making this determination, the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor identified above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, certain of which were in executive session with only the Independent Trustees/Directors and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Trustees/Directors may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the continuation of the Agreements.
 
Summary of Management Fee Evaluation by Independent Fee Consultant
 
September 17, 2012
 
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 Funds (formerly 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 2012, including my qualifications, the evaluation process for each of the DWS Funds, consideration of certain complex-level factors, and my conclusions. I served in substantially the same capacity in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
 
Qualifications
 
For more than 35 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 ten 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 and have served in various leadership and financial oversight capacities with non-profit organizations.
 
Evaluation of Fees for each DWS Fund
 
My work focused primarily on evaluating, fund-by-fund, the fees charged to each of the 103 mutual fund portfolios in the DWS 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 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 Fund. These similar products included the other DWS 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 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 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 "fallout" 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 Fund expenses had varied over the years, by asset class and in the context of trends in asset levels.
 
I considered how aggregated DWS Fund performance measures relative to appropriate peers had varied by asset class and over time.
 
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 Funds are reasonable.

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

Portfolio Management Review (Unaudited)
 
Market Overview
 
All performance information below is historical and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal fluctuate, so your shares may be worth more or less when redeemed. Current performance may differ from performance data shown. Please visit www.dbadvisorsliquidity.com/US for the fund's most recent month-end performance. The 7-day current yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a 7-day period expressed as an annual percentage rate of the fund's shares outstanding. Yields fluctuate and are not guaranteed.
 
Investment Objective
The fund seeks to provide a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. The fund is a feeder fund that invests substantially all of its assets in a "master portfolio," the Cash Management Portfolio, which will invest directly in securities and other instruments. The Cash Management Portfolio has the same investment objective as the fund.
 
During the first quarter of 2012, efforts by the European Central Bank (ECB) to ensure adequate funding access at low rates for the Continent's major banks momentarily reassured investors and led to a rally in global financial markets. However, in May 2012, we saw another dramatic "flight to quality," as worries concerning Greece's upcoming elections and continuingly worsening conditions for Spanish and Italian banks led global and domestic investors to abandon risk assets. Toward the close of the period, any negative economic data was overshadowed by investor anticipation of more substantial Central Bank actions. First, the ECB lowered its interest rate for bank reserves. Then, the head of the ECB, Mario Draghi, stated that the Central Bank would do "whatever it takes" to preserve the euro. In addition, the fact that Germany has hinted that it may be willing to participate in a European quantitative easing program provided substantial encouragement to investors. Lastly, in December 2012, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) altered its guidance regarding rate levels, stating that it would maintain short-term interest rates near zero until U.S. unemployment dropped below 6.5%, and as long as inflation levels did not exceed 2.5%.
 
Fund Performance (as of December 31, 2012)
 
Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
 
An investment in this fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or by any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price.
 
7-Day Current Yield

* The investment advisor has agreed to waive fees/reimburse expenses. Without such fee waivers/expense reimbursements, the 7-day current yield would have been lower.
 
Yields are historical, will fluctuate and do not guarantee future performance. The 7-day current yield refers to the income paid by the portfolio over a 7-day period expressed as an annual percentage rate of the fund's shares outstanding. Please visit our Web site at www.dbadvisorsliquidity.com/US for the product's most recent month-end performance.
 
Positive Contributors to Fund Performance
 
Over the period, we continued to hold a large percentage of fund assets in short-maturity instruments for liquidity purposes as well as for high quality and yield. We also maintained a relatively conservative average maturity, with fund assets broadly diversified among a number of geographical areas for money market investment, such as Canada, Scandinavia, the United States and the United Kingdom. Because we believed that overnight money market yields would decline due to heavy investor demand, at certain times during the course of the reporting period, we permitted the fund's weighted average maturity to lengthen somewhat to seek to capture additional yield for the portfolio.
 
 
Negative Contributors to Fund Performance
 
The types of securities that we were investing in tended to have shorter maturities and lower yields than issues carrying more risk. We preferred to be cautious during a time of market fluctuation. In the end this cost the fund some yield, but we believe that this represented a prudent approach to preserving principal.
 
Outlook and Positioning
 
In the United States, we continue to foresee an artificially low interest rate environment because of a decline in the volume of money market supply, a large number of money market issues maturing with principal needing to be reinvested and continued strong demand from investors seeking principal stability and safety. Going forward, we will continue to be highly selective when adding credits in longer maturities. We also plan to remain flexible in order to react quickly to any shift in the tone of the investment markets.
 
 
Portfolio Management Team
 
A group of investment professionals is responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund. These investment professionals have a broad range of experience managing money market funds.
 
The views expressed reflect those of the portfolio management team only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The management team's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.
 
Terms to Know
 
The yield curve is a graphical representation of how yields on bonds of different maturities compare. Normally, yield curves slant up, as bonds with longer maturities typically offer higher yields than short-term bonds.
 
Quantitative easing is a government monetary policy often used when interest rates are at or near zero. With this policy, government or other securities are purchased from the market in an effort to increase monetary supply and to produce the desired effect of raising interest rates.
 
Weighted average maturity — the average maturity of all the securities that make up a fund portfolio, expressed in days or years.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Cash Reserves Fund Institutional (the "Fund'') is a series of DWS Money Market Trust (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 is a feeder fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its investable assets in a master portfolio, the Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio''), an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act and organized as a New York trust advised by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA'' or the "Advisor''), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG. A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder fund"), instead of investing directly in a portfolio of securities, invests most or all of its investment assets in a separate registered investment company (the "master fund") with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the feeder fund. Such a structure permits the pooling of assets of two or more feeder funds, preserving separate identities or distribution channels at the feeder fund level. At December 31, 2012, the Fund owned approximately 7% of the Portfolio.
 
The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Investment Portfolio, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
 
Security Valuation. The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio at value, which reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. Valuation of the securities held by the Portfolio is discussed in the notes to the Portfolio's financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
 
Disclosure about the classification of fair value measurements is included in a table following the Portfolio's Investment Portfolio.
 
New Accounting Pronouncement. In January 2013, Accounting Standard Update 2013-01 (ASU 2013-01), Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 (ASU 2011-11), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. The ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Fund's financial statements.
 
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.
 
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, net capital losses incurred post-enactment may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
 
At December 31, 2012, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $261,000 of pre-enactment losses, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until December 31, 2016, the expiration date, whichever occurs first.
 
The Fund has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2012, 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 open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly. The Fund may take into account capital gains and losses in its daily dividend declarations. The Fund may also make additional distributions for tax purposes if necessary.
 
Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book to tax differences for the Fund.
 
At December 31, 2012, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Capital loss carryforward
  $ (261,000 )
 
In addition, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund is summarized as follows:
   
Years Ended December 31,
 
   
2012
   
2011
 
Distributions from ordinary income
  $ 1,708,401     $ 1,256,917  
 
Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Other. The Fund receives an allocation of the Portfolio's net investment income and net realized gains and losses in proportion to its investment in the Portfolio. Expenses directly attributed to a fund are charged to that fund, while expenses which are attributable to the Trust are allocated among the funds in the Trust on the basis of relative net assets.
 
B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
 
Management Agreement. Under the Investment Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor serves as the investment manager to the Fund. The Advisor receives a management fee from the Portfolio pursuant to the master/feeder structure listed above in Note A.
 
Administration Fee. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, DIMA provides most administrative services to the Fund. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee ("Administration Fee") of 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.
 
For the period from January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013, DIMA has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund, including expenses of the Portfolio allocated to the Fund, to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest) at 0.21% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
 
Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Administration Fee was $2,258,539, of which $816,790 was waived and $117,806 is unpaid.
 
In addition, the Advisor has agreed to voluntarily waive additional expenses. The waiver may be changed or terminated at any time without notice.
 
Service Provider Fees. DWS Investments Service Company ("DISC"), 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 DISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), DISC has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent functions to DST. DISC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amount charged to the Fund by DISC aggregated $79,057, all of which was waived.
 
In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Advisor reimbursed the Fund $70 of sub-recordkeeping expense.
 
Shareholder Servicing Fee. DWS Investments Distributors, Inc. ("DIDI"), an affiliate of the Advisor, provides information and administrative services for a fee ("Service Fee") to shareholders at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets. DIDI 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 firm services. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Service Fee was as follows:
   
Total Aggregated
   
Waived
   
Annual Effective Rate
 
Cash Reserves Fund Institutional
  $ 49,027     $ 49,027       .00 %
 
Typesetting and Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DIMA, DIMA is compensated for providing typesetting and certain regulatory filing services to the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amount charged to the Fund by DIMA included in Statement of Operations under "reports to shareholders" aggregated $19,025, of which $9,958 is unpaid.
 
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Fund paid retainer fees to each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor, plus specified amounts to the Board Chairperson and to each committee Chairperson.
 
C. Concentration of Ownership
 
From time to time, the Fund may have a concentration of several shareholder accounts holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund.
 
At December 31, 2012, there was one shareholder account that held approximately 12% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
 
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, the Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The example in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012).
 
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.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2012 in valuing the Portfolio's investments. For information on the Portfolio's policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note A in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio'') is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act''), as an open-end management investment company organized as a New York trust.
 
The Portfolio is a master fund. A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder fund"), instead of investing directly in a portfolio of securities, invests most or all of its investment assets in a separate registered investment company (the "master fund") with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the feeder fund. Such a structure permits the pooling of assets of two or more feeder funds, preserving separate identities or distribution channels at the feeder fund level. The Portfolio may have several feeder funds, including affiliated DWS feeder funds and unaffiliated feeder funds; with a significant ownership percentage of the Portfolio's net assets. Investment activities of these feeder funds could have a material impact on the Portfolio. As of December 31, 2012, Cash Management Fund, Cash Reserves Fund Institutional, Cash Reserves Fund — Prime Series and DWS Money Market Series owned approximately 10%, 7%, 3% and 78%, respectively, of the Portfolio.
 
The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
Security Valuation. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The Portfolio values all securities utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization rate to maturity of any discount or premium. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.
 
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Portfolio, through its custodian or a sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The custodian bank or another designated subcustodian holds the collateral in a separate account until the agreement matures. If the value of the securities falls below the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest, the financial institution deposits additional collateral by the following business day. If the financial institution either fails to deposit the required additional collateral or fails to repurchase the securities as agreed, the Portfolio has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Portfolio's claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
 
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio is considered a Partnership under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is necessary.
 
It is intended that the Portfolio's assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code, assuming that the investor invested all of its assets in the Portfolio.
 
The Portfolio has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2012 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio's financial statements. The Portfolio's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions of income and capital gains from investment companies are 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.
 
The Portfolio makes an allocation of its net investment income and realized gains and losses from securities transactions to its investors in proportion to their investment in the Portfolio.
 
B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
 
Management Agreement. Under the Investment Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Portfolio.
 
Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Portfolio pays the Advisor a monthly management fee based on its average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at the following annual rates:
First $3.0 billion of the Portfolio's average daily net assets
    .1500 %
Next $4.5 billion of such net assets
    .1325 %
Over $7.5 billion of such net assets
    .1200 %
 
The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest) at 0.14% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The waiver may be changed or terminated at anytime without notice.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Advisor waived a portion of its management fee aggregating $5,747,176, and the amount charged aggregated $23,118,997, which was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.10% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.
 
Administration Fee. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, DIMA provides most administrative services to the Portfolio. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Portfolio pays the Advisor an annual fee ("Administration Fee") of 0.03% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Administration Fee was $6,850,915, of which $683,254 is unpaid.
 
Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DIMA, DIMA is compensated for providing certain regulatory filing services to the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amount charged to the Portfolio by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "reports to shareholders" aggregated $973, all of which is unpaid.
 
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Portfolio paid retainer fees to each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor, plus specified amounts to the Board Chairperson and to each committee Chairperson.
 
C. Line of Credit
 
The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $375 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. The Portfolio may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated based on net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25 percent plus if LIBOR exceeds the Federal Funds Rate the amount of such excess. The Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. The Portfolio had no outstanding loans at December 31, 2012.
 
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Trustees and Holders of Beneficial Interest of Cash Management Portfolio:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cash Management Portfolio (hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio'') at December 31, 2012, 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 Portfolio's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Management Agreement Approval
 
Cash Reserves Fund Institutional (the "Fund"), a series of DWS Money Market Trust, invests all of its assets in Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio") in order to achieve its investment objective. The Portfolio's Board of Trustees approved the renewal of the Portfolio's investment management agreement (the "Portfolio Agreement") with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DWS") and the Fund's Board of Trustees (which consists of the same members as the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio), including the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Fund's investment management agreement with DWS (the "Fund Agreement," and together with the Portfolio Agreement, the "Agreements") in September 2012. The Portfolio's Board of Trustees and the Fund's Board of Trustees are collectively referred to as the "Board."
 
In terms of the process that the Board followed prior to approving the Agreements, shareholders should know that:
 
In September 2012, all of the Portfolio's and Fund's Trustees were independent of DWS and its affiliates.
 
The Trustees met frequently during the past year to discuss fund matters and dedicated a substantial amount of time to contract review matters. Over the course of several months, the Board's Contract Committee, in coordination with the Board's Fixed Income and Quant Oversight Committee, reviewed comprehensive materials received from DWS, independent third parties and independent counsel. These materials included an analysis of performance, fees and expenses, and profitability compiled by an independent fee consultant. The Board also received extensive information throughout the year regarding performance of the Portfolio and the Fund.
 
The Independent Trustees regularly meet privately with their independent counsel to discuss contract review and other matters. In addition, the Independent Trustees were also advised by an independent fee consultant in the course of their review of the Portfolio's and the Fund's contractual arrangements and considered a comprehensive report prepared by the independent fee consultant in connection with their deliberations (the "IFC Report").
 
In connection with reviewing the Agreements, the Board also reviewed the terms of the Fund's distribution agreement, administrative services agreement, transfer agency agreement and other material service agreements.
 
Based on its evaluation of the information provided, the Contract Committee presented its findings and recommendations to the Board. The Board then reviewed the Contract Committee's findings and recommendations.
 
In connection with the contract review process, the Contract Committee and the Board considered the factors discussed below, among others. The Board also considered that DWS and its predecessors have managed the Portfolio and the Fund since their inception, and the Board believes that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious advisor is in the best interests of the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board considered, generally, that shareholders chose to invest or remain invested in the Fund knowing that DWS managed the Portfolio and the Fund, and that the Fund Agreement was approved by the Fund's shareholders. DWS is part of Deutsche Bank, a major global banking institution that is engaged in a wide range of financial services. The Board believes that there are 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.
 
As part of the contract review process, the Board carefully considered the fees and expenses of each DWS fund overseen by the Board in light of the fund's performance. In many cases, this led to a negotiation with DWS of lower expense caps for the coming year than had previously been in place. As part of these negotiations, the Board indicated that it would consider relaxing these new lower caps in future years following sustained improvements in performance, among other considerations.
 
In June 2012, Deutsche Bank ("DB"), DWS's parent company, announced that DB's new management team had concluded the strategic review of its global asset management business announced in late 2011 by DB's prior management team, and would combine its Asset Management (of which DWS is a part) and Wealth Management divisions. Prior to approving the investment management agreements, the Independent Trustees were apprised of the expected management and structure of the new combined Asset & Wealth Management division ("AWM") and DWS. DB also advised the Independent Trustees that the U.S. asset management business is a critical and integral part of DB and AWM, and that DB would be reinvesting a significant portion of the substantial savings it expects to realize by combining its Asset Management and Wealth Management divisions into a combined AWM division, including enhancements to its investment capabilities. DB also confirmed its commitment to maintaining strong legal and compliance groups within the combined division.
 
While shareholders may focus primarily on fund performance and fees, the Board considers these and many other factors, including the quality and integrity of DWS's personnel and such other issues as back-office operations, fund valuations, and compliance policies and procedures.
 
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered the terms of the Agreements, including the scope of advisory services provided under the Agreements. The Board noted that, under the Agreements, DWS provides portfolio management services to the Portfolio and the Fund and that, pursuant to separate administrative services agreements, DWS provides administrative services to the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management and investment personnel, the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of DWS to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of DWS. The Board reviewed the Portfolio's and the Fund's performance over short-term and long-term periods and compared those returns to various agreed-upon performance measures, including market indices and a peer universe compiled by the independent fee consultant using information supplied by iMoneyNet Inc. ("iMoneyNet"), an independent fund data service. The Board also noted that it has put into place a process of identifying "Focus Funds" (e.g., funds performing poorly relative to their benchmark or a peer universe compiled by an independent fund data service), and receives more frequent reporting and information from DWS regarding such funds, along with DWS's remedial plans to address underperformance. The Board believes this process is an effective manner of identifying and addressing underperforming funds. Based on the information provided, the Board noted that for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2011, the Fund's gross performance (Institutional Class shares) was in the 3rd quartile of the applicable iMoneyNet universe (the 1st quartile being the best performers and the 4th quartile being the worst performers).
 
Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the Portfolio's and the Fund's investment management fee schedules and the Fund's operating expenses and total expense ratios, and comparative information provided by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper") and the independent fee consultant regarding investment management fee rates paid to other investment advisors by similar funds (1st quartile being the most favorable and 4th quartile being the least favorable). With respect to management fees paid to other investment advisors by similar funds, the Board noted that the contractual fee rates paid by the Portfolio and the Fund, which include 0.03% and 0.10% fees paid to DWS under the respective administrative services agreements, were lower than the median (2nd quartile) of the applicable Lipper peer group (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2011). The Board noted that, although shareholders of the Fund indirectly bear the Portfolio's management fee, the Fund does not charge an additional investment management fee. The Board noted that the Fund's total (net) operating expenses, which include Portfolio expenses allocated to the Fund, were lower than the median of the applicable Lipper expense universe for Institutional Class shares (2nd quartile) (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2011). The Board considered the Portfolio's management fee rate as compared to fees charged by DWS and certain of its affiliates for comparable mutual funds and considered differences in fund and fee structures between the DWS Funds. 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 noted the expense limitation agreed to by DWS.
 
The information considered by the Board as part of its review of management fees included information regarding fees charged by DWS and its affiliates to similar institutional accounts and to similar funds offered primarily to European investors ("DWS Europe funds"), in each case as applicable. The Board observed that advisory fee rates for institutional accounts generally were lower than the management fees charged by similarly managed DWS U.S. mutual funds ("DWS Funds"), but also took note of the differences in services provided to DWS Funds as compared to institutional accounts. In the case of DWS Europe funds, the Board observed that fee rates for DWS Europe funds generally were higher than for similarly managed DWS Funds, but noted that differences in the types of services provided to DWS Funds relative to DWS Europe funds made it difficult to compare such fees.
 
On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that management fees were reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by DWS.
 
Profitability. The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by DWS under the Agreements. The Board considered the estimated costs and pre-tax profits realized by DWS from advising the DWS Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of DWS and its affiliates with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board and the independent fee consultant reviewed DWS's methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the pre-tax profits realized by DWS in connection with the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. 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), DWS and its affiliates' overall profitability with respect to the DWS fund complex (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by DWS and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of many comparable firms for which such data was available.
 
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolio and the Fund and whether the Portfolio and the Fund benefit from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the Portfolio's management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Portfolio's and the Fund's fee schedules represent an appropriate sharing between the Portfolio and the Fund, as the case may be, and DWS of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Portfolio and the Fund at current asset levels.
 
Other Benefits to DWS and Its Affiliates. The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by DWS and its affiliates, including any fees received by DWS for administrative services provided to the Portfolio and the Fund and any fees received by an affiliate of DWS for distribution services. The Board also considered benefits to DWS related to brokerage and soft-dollar allocations, including allocating brokerage to pay for research generated by parties other than the executing broker dealers, which pertain primarily to funds investing in equity securities, along with the incidental public relations benefits to DWS related to DWS Funds advertising and cross-selling opportunities among DWS products and services. The Board concluded that management fees were reasonable in light of these fallout benefits.
 
Compliance. The Board considered the significant attention and resources dedicated by DWS to documenting and enhancing its compliance processes in recent years. The Board noted in particular (i) the experience and seniority of both DWS's chief compliance officer and the Fund's chief compliance officer; (ii) the large number of DWS compliance personnel; and (iii) the substantial commitment of resources by DWS and its affiliates to compliance matters.
 
Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board unanimously determined that the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of the Portfolio and the Fund. In making this determination, the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor identified above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, certain of which were in executive session with only the Independent Trustees 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 Agreements.
 
Summary of Management Fee Evaluation by Independent Fee Consultant
 
September 17, 2012
 
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 Funds (formerly 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 2012, including my qualifications, the evaluation process for each of the DWS Funds, consideration of certain complex-level factors, and my conclusions. I served in substantially the same capacity in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
 
Qualifications
 
For more than 35 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 ten 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 and have served in various leadership and financial oversight capacities with non-profit organizations.
 
Evaluation of Fees for each DWS Fund
 
My work focused primarily on evaluating, fund-by-fund, the fees charged to each of the 103 mutual fund portfolios in the DWS 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 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 Fund. These similar products included the other DWS 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 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 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 "fallout" 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 Fund expenses had varied over the years, by asset class and in the context of trends in asset levels.
 
I considered how aggregated DWS Fund performance measures relative to appropriate peers had varied by asset class and over time.
 
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 Funds are reasonable.

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

Market Overview
 
All performance information below is historical and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal fluctuate, so your shares may be worth more or less when redeemed. Current performance may differ from performance data shown. Please visit www.dbadvisorsliquidity.com/US for the fund's most recent month-end performance. The 7-day current yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a 7-day period expressed as an annual percentage rate of the fund's shares outstanding. Yields fluctuate and are not guaranteed.
 
Investment Objective
The fund seeks to provide a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. The fund is a feeder fund that invests substantially all of its assets in a "master portfolio," the Cash Management Portfolio, which will invest directly in securities and other instruments. The Cash Management Portfolio has the same investment objective as the fund.
 
During the first quarter of 2012, efforts by the European Central Bank (ECB) to ensure adequate funding access at low rates for the Continent's major banks momentarily reassured investors and led to a rally in global financial markets. However, in May 2012, we saw another dramatic "flight to quality," as worries concerning Greece's upcoming elections and continuingly worsening conditions for Spanish and Italian banks led global and domestic investors to abandon risk assets. Toward the close of the period, any negative economic data was overshadowed by investor anticipation of more substantial Central Bank actions. First, the ECB lowered its interest rate for bank reserves. Then, the head of the ECB, Mario Draghi, stated that the Central Bank would do "whatever it takes" to preserve the euro. In addition, the fact that Germany has hinted that it may be willing to participate in a European quantitative easing program provided substantial encouragement to investors. Lastly, in December 2012, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) altered its guidance regarding rate levels, stating that it would maintain short-term interest rates near zero until U.S. unemployment dropped below 6.5%, and as long as inflation levels did not exceed 2.5%.
 
Fund Performance (as of December 31, 2012)
 
Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
 
An investment in this fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or by any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price.

Positive Contributors to Fund Performance
 
Over the period, we continued to hold a large percentage of fund assets in short-maturity instruments for liquidity purposes as well as for high quality and yield. We also maintained a relatively conservative average maturity, with fund assets broadly diversified among a number of geographical areas for money market investment, such as Canada, Scandinavia, the United States and the United Kingdom. Because we believed that overnight money market yields would decline due to heavy investor demand, at certain times during the course of the reporting period, we permitted the fund's weighted average maturity to lengthen somewhat to seek to capture additional yield for the portfolio.
 
 
Negative Contributors to Fund Performance
 
The types of securities that we were investing in tended to have shorter maturities and lower yields than issues carrying more risk. We preferred to be cautious during a time of market fluctuation. In the end this cost the fund some yield, but we believe that this represented a prudent approach to preserving principal.
 
Outlook and Positioning
 
In the United States, we continue to foresee an artificially low interest rate environment because of a decline in the volume of money market supply, a large number of money market issues maturing with principal needing to be reinvested and continued strong demand from investors seeking principal stability and safety. Going forward, we will continue to be highly selective when adding credits in longer maturities. We also plan to remain flexible in order to react quickly to any shift in the tone of the investment markets.
 
 
Portfolio Management Team
 
A group of investment professionals is responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund. These investment professionals have a broad range of experience managing money market funds.
 
The views expressed reflect those of the portfolio management team only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The management team's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.
 
Terms to Know
 
The yield curve is a graphical representation of how yields on bonds of different maturities compare. Normally, yield curves slant up, as bonds with longer maturities typically offer higher yields than short-term bonds.
 
Quantitative easing is a government monetary policy often used when interest rates are at or near zero. With this policy, government or other securities are purchased from the market in an effort to increase monetary supply and to produce the desired effect of raising interest rates.
 
Weighted average maturity — the average maturity of all the securities that make up a fund portfolio, expressed in days or years.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
DWS Money Market Series (the "Fund") is a diversified investment portfolio of DWS Money Market Trust (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 is a feeder fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its investable assets in a master portfolio, the Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio''), an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act and organized as a New York trust advised by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor''), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG. A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder fund"), instead of investing directly in a portfolio of securities, invests most or all of its investment assets in a separate registered investment company (the "master fund") with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the feeder fund. Such a structure permits the pooling of assets of two or more feeder funds, preserving separate identities or distribution channels at the feeder fund level. At December 31, 2012, the Fund owned approximately 78% of the Portfolio.
 
The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Investment Portfolio, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
 
Security Valuation. The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio at value, which reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. Valuation of the securities held by the Portfolio is discussed in the notes to the Portfolio's financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
 
Disclosure about the classification of fair value measurements is included in a table following the Portfolio's Investment Portfolio.
 
New Accounting Pronouncement. In January 2013, Accounting Standard Update 2013-01 (ASU 2013-01), Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 (ASU 2011-11), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. The ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Fund's financial statements.
 
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.
 
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, net capital losses incurred post-enactment may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
 
At December 31, 2012, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $984,000 of pre-enactment losses, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until December 31, 2018, the expiration date, whichever occurs first.
 
The Fund has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2012 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 periods/years remain open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly. The Fund may take into account capital gains and losses in its daily dividend declarations. The Fund may also make additional distributions for tax purposes if necessary.
 
Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book to tax differences for the Fund.
 
At December 31, 2012, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income
  $ 25  
Capital loss carryforward
  $ (984,000 )
 
In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2012, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund is summarized as follows:
   
Years Ended December 31,
 
   
2012
   
2011
 
Distributions from ordinary income
  $ 24,050,782     $ 20,519,595  
 
Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Other. The Fund receives an allocation of the Portfolio's net investment income and net realized gains and losses in proportion to its investment in the Portfolio. Expenses directly attributed to a fund are charged to that fund, while expenses which are attributable to the Trust are allocated among the funds in the Trust on the basis of relative net assets.
 
B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
 
Management Agreement. Under the Investment Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor serves as the Investment Manager to the Fund. The Advisor receives a management fee from the Portfolio pursuant to the master/feeder structure listed above in Note A.
 
Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Fund pays no management fee to the Advisor so long as the Fund is a feeder fund that invests substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio. In the event the Board of Trustees determines it is in the best interest of the Fund to withdraw its investment from the Portfolio, the Advisor may become responsible for directly managing the assets of the Fund under the Investment Management Agreement. In such event, the Fund would pay the Advisor a management fee as follows:
First $1.5 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets
    .1650 %
Next $1.75 billion of such net assets
    .1500 %
Next $1.75 billion of such net assets
    .1350 %
Over $5 billion of such net assets
    .1200 %
 
Administration Fee. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, DIMA provides most administrative services to the Fund. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee ("Administration Fee") of 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.
 
For the period from January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013, DIMA has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund, including expenses of the Portfolio allocated to the Fund, to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest) at 0.18% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
 
In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest) at 0.14% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
 
Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Administration Fee was $16,713,441, all of which was waived.
 
In addition, the Advisor waived $361,778 of other expenses.
 
Service Provider Fees. DWS Investments Service Company ("DISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent of the Fund. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DISC and DST Systems. Inc. ("DST"), DISC has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent functions to DST. DISC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amounts charged to the Fund by DISC aggregated $1,029,162, all of which was waived.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Advisor reimbursed the Fund $1,730 of sub-recordkeeping expense.
 
Typesetting and Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DIMA, DIMA is compensated for providing typesetting and certain regulatory filing services to the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amount charged to the Fund by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "reports to shareholders" aggregated $16,518, of which $8,489 is unpaid.
 
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Fund paid retainer fees to each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor, plus specified amounts to the Board Chairperson and to each committee Chairperson.
 
C. Concentration of Ownership
 
From time to time the Fund may have a concentration of several shareholder accounts holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund.
 
At December 31, 2012, there were three shareholder accounts that each held approximately 14%, 11% and 11% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, respectively.
 
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Trustees of DWS Money Market Trust and Shareholders of DWS Money Market Series:

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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
 
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, the Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The example in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012).
 
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.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2012 in valuing the Portfolio's investments. For information on the Portfolio's policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note A in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio'') is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act''), as an open-end management investment company organized as a New York trust.
 
The Portfolio is a master fund. A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder fund"), instead of investing directly in a portfolio of securities, invests most or all of its investment assets in a separate registered investment company (the "master fund") with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the feeder fund. Such a structure permits the pooling of assets of two or more feeder funds, preserving separate identities or distribution channels at the feeder fund level. The Portfolio may have several feeder funds, including affiliated DWS feeder funds and unaffiliated feeder funds; with a significant ownership percentage of the Portfolio's net assets. Investment activities of these feeder funds could have a material impact on the Portfolio. As of December 31, 2012, Cash Management Fund, Cash Reserves Fund Institutional, Cash Reserves Fund — Prime Series and DWS Money Market Series owned approximately 10%, 7%, 3% and 78%, respectively, of the Portfolio.
 
The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
Security Valuation. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The Portfolio values all securities utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization rate to maturity of any discount or premium. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.
 
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Portfolio, through its custodian or a sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The custodian bank or another designated subcustodian holds the collateral in a separate account until the agreement matures. If the value of the securities falls below the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest, the financial institution deposits additional collateral by the following business day. If the financial institution either fails to deposit the required additional collateral or fails to repurchase the securities as agreed, the Portfolio has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Portfolio's claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
 
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio is considered a Partnership under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is necessary.
 
It is intended that the Portfolio's assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code, assuming that the investor invested all of its assets in the Portfolio.
 
The Portfolio has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2012 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio's financial statements. The Portfolio's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions of income and capital gains from investment companies are 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.
 
The Portfolio makes an allocation of its net investment income and realized gains and losses from securities transactions to its investors in proportion to their investment in the Portfolio.
 
B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
 
Management Agreement. Under the Investment Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Portfolio.
 
Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Portfolio pays the Advisor a monthly management fee based on its average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at the following annual rates:
First $3.0 billion of the Portfolio's average daily net assets
    .1500 %
Next $4.5 billion of such net assets
    .1325 %
Over $7.5 billion of such net assets
    .1200 %
 
The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest) at 0.14% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The waiver may be changed or terminated at anytime without notice.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Advisor waived a portion of its management fee aggregating $5,747,176, and the amount charged aggregated $23,118,997, which was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.10% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.
 
Administration Fee. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, DIMA provides most administrative services to the Portfolio. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Portfolio pays the Advisor an annual fee ("Administration Fee") of 0.03% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Administration Fee was $6,850,915, of which $683,254 is unpaid.
 
Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DIMA, DIMA is compensated for providing certain regulatory filing services to the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amount charged to the Portfolio by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "reports to shareholders" aggregated $973, all of which is unpaid.
 
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Portfolio paid retainer fees to each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor, plus specified amounts to the Board Chairperson and to each committee Chairperson.
 
C. Line of Credit
 
The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $375 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. The Portfolio may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated based on net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25 percent plus if LIBOR exceeds the Federal Funds Rate the amount of such excess. The Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. The Portfolio had no outstanding loans at December 31, 2012.
 
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Trustees and Holders of Beneficial Interest of Cash Management Portfolio:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cash Management Portfolio (hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio'') at December 31, 2012, 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 Portfolio's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Management Agreement Approval
 
DWS Money Market Series (the "Fund"), a series of DWS Money Market Trust, invests all of its assets in Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio") in order to achieve its investment objective. The Portfolio's Board of Trustees approved the renewal of the Portfolio's investment management agreement (the "Portfolio Agreement") with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DWS") and the Fund's Board of Trustees (which consists of the same members as the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio), including the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Fund's investment management agreement with DWS (the "Fund Agreement," and together with the Portfolio Agreement, the "Agreements") in September 2012. The Portfolio's Board of Trustees and the Fund's Board of Trustees are collectively referred to as the "Board."
 
In terms of the process that the Board followed prior to approving the Agreements, shareholders should know that:
 
In September 2012, all of the Portfolio's and Fund's Trustees were independent of DWS and its affiliates.
 
The Trustees met frequently during the past year to discuss fund matters and dedicated a substantial amount of time to contract review matters. Over the course of several months, the Board's Contract Committee, in coordination with the Board's Fixed Income and Quant Oversight Committee, reviewed comprehensive materials received from DWS, independent third parties and independent counsel. These materials included an analysis of performance, fees and expenses, and profitability compiled by an independent fee consultant. The Board also received extensive information throughout the year regarding performance of the Portfolio and the Fund.
 
The Independent Trustees regularly meet privately with their independent counsel to discuss contract review and other matters. In addition, the Independent Trustees were also advised by an independent fee consultant in the course of their review of the Portfolio's and the Fund's contractual arrangements and considered a comprehensive report prepared by the independent fee consultant in connection with their deliberations (the "IFC Report").
 
In connection with reviewing the Agreements, the Board also reviewed the terms of the Fund's distribution agreement, administrative services agreement, transfer agency agreement and other material service agreements.
 
Based on its evaluation of the information provided, the Contract Committee presented its findings and recommendations to the Board. The Board then reviewed the Contract Committee's findings and recommendations.
 
In connection with the contract review process, the Contract Committee and the Board considered the factors discussed below, among others. The Board also considered that DWS and its predecessors have managed the Portfolio and the Fund since their inception, and the Board believes that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious advisor is in the best interests of the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board considered, generally, that shareholders chose to invest or remain invested in the Fund knowing that DWS managed the Portfolio and the Fund, and that the Fund Agreement was approved by the Fund's shareholders. DWS is part of Deutsche Bank, a major global banking institution that is engaged in a wide range of financial services. The Board believes that there are 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.
 
As part of the contract review process, the Board carefully considered the fees and expenses of each DWS fund overseen by the Board in light of the fund's performance. In many cases, this led to a negotiation with DWS of lower expense caps for the coming year than had previously been in place. As part of these negotiations, the Board indicated that it would consider relaxing these new lower caps in future years following sustained improvements in performance, among other considerations.
 
In June 2012, Deutsche Bank ("DB"), DWS's parent company, announced that DB's new management team had concluded the strategic review of its global asset management business announced in late 2011 by DB's prior management team, and would combine its Asset Management (of which DWS is a part) and Wealth Management divisions. Prior to approving the investment management agreements, the Independent Trustees were apprised of the expected management and structure of the new combined Asset & Wealth Management division ("AWM") and DWS. DB also advised the Independent Trustees that the U.S. asset management business is a critical and integral part of DB and AWM, and that DB would be reinvesting a significant portion of the substantial savings it expects to realize by combining its Asset Management and Wealth Management divisions into a combined AWM division, including enhancements to its investment capabilities. DB also confirmed its commitment to maintaining strong legal and compliance groups within the combined division.
 
While shareholders may focus primarily on fund performance and fees, the Board considers these and many other factors, including the quality and integrity of DWS's personnel and such other issues as back-office operations, fund valuations, and compliance policies and procedures.
 
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered the terms of the Agreements, including the scope of advisory services provided under the Agreements. The Board noted that, under the Agreements, DWS provides portfolio management services to the Portfolio and the Fund and that, pursuant to separate administrative services agreements, DWS provides administrative services to the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management and investment personnel, the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of DWS to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of DWS. The Board reviewed the Portfolio's and the Fund's performance over short-term and long-term periods and compared those returns to various agreed-upon performance measures, including market indices and a peer universe compiled by the independent fee consultant using information supplied by iMoneyNet Inc. ("iMoneyNet"). The Board also noted that it has put into place a process of identifying "Focus Funds" (e.g., funds performing poorly relative to their benchmark or a peer universe compiled by an independent fund data service), and receives more frequent reporting and information from DWS regarding such funds, along with DWS's remedial plans to address underperformance. The Board believes this process is an effective manner of identifying and addressing underperforming funds. Based on the information provided, the Board noted that for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2011, the Fund's gross performance (Institutional Shares) was in the 3rd quartile of the applicable iMoneyNet universe (the 1st quartile being the best performers and the 4th quartile being the worst performers).
 
Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the Portfolio's and the Fund's investment management fee schedules and the Fund's operating expenses and total expense ratios, and comparative information provided by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper") and the independent fee consultant regarding investment management fee rates paid to other investment advisors by similar funds (1st quartile being the most favorable and 4th quartile being the least favorable). With respect to management fees paid to other investment advisors by similar funds, the Board noted that the contractual fee rates paid by the Portfolio and the Fund, which include 0.03% and 0.10% fees paid to DWS under the respective administrative services agreements, were lower than the median (2nd quartile) of the applicable Lipper peer group (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2011). The Board noted that, although shareholders of the Fund indirectly bear the Portfolio's management fee, the Fund does not charge an additional investment management fee. The Board noted that the Fund's total (net) operating expenses, which include Portfolio expenses allocated to the Fund, were lower than the median of the applicable Lipper expense universe for Institutional Shares (1st quartile) (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2011). The Board considered the Portfolio's management fee rate as compared to fees charged by DWS and certain of its affiliates for comparable mutual funds and considered differences in fund and fee structures between the DWS Funds. 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 noted the expense limitation agreed to by DWS.
 
The information considered by the Board as part of its review of management fees included information regarding fees charged by DWS and its affiliates to similar institutional accounts and to similar funds offered primarily to European investors ("DWS Europe funds"), in each case as applicable. The Board observed that advisory fee rates for institutional accounts generally were lower than the management fees charged by similarly managed DWS U.S. mutual funds ("DWS Funds"), but also took note of the differences in services provided to DWS Funds as compared to institutional accounts. In the case of DWS Europe funds, the Board observed that fee rates for DWS Europe funds generally were higher than for similarly managed DWS Funds, but noted that differences in the types of services provided to DWS Funds relative to DWS Europe funds made it difficult to compare such fees.
 
On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that management fees were reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by DWS.
 
Profitability. The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by DWS under the Agreements. The Board considered the estimated costs and pre-tax profits realized by DWS from advising the DWS Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of DWS and its affiliates with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board and the independent fee consultant reviewed DWS's methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the pre-tax profits realized by DWS in connection with the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. 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), DWS and its affiliates' overall profitability with respect to the DWS fund complex (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by DWS and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of many comparable firms for which such data was available.
 
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolio and the Fund and whether the Portfolio and the Fund benefit from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the Portfolio's management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Portfolio's and the Fund's fee schedules represent an appropriate sharing between the Portfolio and the Fund, as the case may be, and DWS of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Portfolio and the Fund at current asset levels.
 
Other Benefits to DWS and Its Affiliates. The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by DWS and its affiliates, including any fees received by DWS for administrative services provided to the Portfolio and the Fund and any fees received by an affiliate of DWS for distribution services. The Board also considered benefits to DWS related to brokerage and soft-dollar allocations, including allocating brokerage to pay for research generated by parties other than the executing broker dealers, which pertain primarily to funds investing in equity securities, along with the incidental public relations benefits to DWS related to DWS Funds advertising and cross-selling opportunities among DWS products and services. The Board concluded that management fees were reasonable in light of these fallout benefits.
 
Compliance. The Board considered the significant attention and resources dedicated by DWS to documenting and enhancing its compliance processes in recent years. The Board noted in particular (i) the experience and seniority of both DWS's chief compliance officer and the Fund's chief compliance officer; (ii) the large number of DWS compliance personnel; and (iii) the substantial commitment of resources by DWS and its affiliates to compliance matters.
 
Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board unanimously determined that the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of the Portfolio and the Fund. In making this determination, the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor identified above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, certain of which were in executive session with only the Independent Trustees 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 Agreements.
 
Summary of Management Fee Evaluation by Independent Fee Consultant
 
September 17, 2012
 
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 Funds (formerly 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 2012, including my qualifications, the evaluation process for each of the DWS Funds, consideration of certain complex-level factors, and my conclusions. I served in substantially the same capacity in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
 
Qualifications
 
For more than 35 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 ten 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 and have served in various leadership and financial oversight capacities with non-profit organizations.
 
Evaluation of Fees for each DWS Fund
 
My work focused primarily on evaluating, fund-by-fund, the fees charged to each of the 103 mutual fund portfolios in the DWS 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 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 Fund. These similar products included the other DWS 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 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 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 "fallout" 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 Fund expenses had varied over the years, by asset class and in the context of trends in asset levels.
 
I considered how aggregated DWS Fund performance measures relative to appropriate peers had varied by asset class and over time.
 
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 Funds are reasonable.

The fund currently offers one class of shares, Institutional Shares. Managed Shares ("Institutional Shares MGD"), Prime Reserve Class S Shares ("Institutional Shares PRS") and Premium Class S Shares ("Institutional Shares PS") (the "legacy classes") were combined into Institutional Shares as of the close of business on October 1, 2008. The legacy classes are no longer offered separately. Because the eligibility and minimum investment requirements for each of the legacy classes differ from the Institutional Shares, shareholders of the fund who were shareholders of a legacy class may continue to purchase shares of the fund in accordance with the investment requirements in effect for each applicable legacy class prior to the share classes being combined. Any account privileges previously available to shareholders of the legacy classes remain unchanged.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.  Generally, each Fund’s Audit Committee must pre approve (i) all services to be performed for a Fund by a Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and (ii) all non-audit services to be performed by a Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the DIMA Entities with respect to operations and financial reporting of the Fund, except that the Chairperson or Vice Chairperson of each Fund’s Audit Committee may grant the pre-approval for non-audit services described in items (i) and (ii) above for non-prohibited services for engagements of less than $100,000.  All such delegated pre approvals shall be presented to each Fund’s Audit Committee no later than the next Audit Committee meeting.

There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

According to the registrant’s principal Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, substantially all of the principal Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm's hours spent on auditing the registrant's financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

***
PwC advised the Fund's Audit Committee that it had identified one matter that it determined could be inconsistent with the SEC's auditor independence rules (Rule 2-01(c) of Regulation S-X). As part of a "Global Migration Support" engagement in which PwC's UK network affiliate ("PwC-UK") provided assistance to Deutsche Bank ("DB") with respect to processing internship applications for DB employees seeking short term assignments with DB in the UK, PwC-UK paid application fees on behalf of DB for six applicants at 170 pounds each (1,020 pounds in total).  PwC advised the Committee that it believes that this matter did not affect its objectivity or its impartial judgment in conducting its audit and issuing a report on the financial statements of the Fund as the Fund's independent auditor and confirmed its independence under the SEC’s auditor independence rules. In reaching this conclusion, PwC noted that the engagement team was not aware of the payment of the application fees by PwC-UK and that DB reimbursed PwC-UK for the fees.
