Dear Shareholder:

 

Thank you for investing with Investors Municipal Cash Fund. To provide you with an update of holdings and financial highlights, on the following pages you'll find the fund's shareholder report for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2006. The fund series includes:

Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund

Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund

Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund

Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund

Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund

Briefly, for the fund's most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, the fund's portfolios achieved their stated objectives of providing maximum current income while maintaining stability of capital.

Economic and Portfolio Review

During the 12 months ended March 31, 2006, the US economy showed its resiliency, despite devastating hurricanes in the southern United States and continual increases in energy prices. Monthly job growth was the most important economic indicator for the money markets as the year began, but the market's focus gradually shifted to a careful watch for signs of increasing inflation.

Over the period, the US Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) continued its policy of increasing short-term interest rates in an attempt to undo the easing of monetary policy that occurred up until June 2004. The Fed raised the federal funds rate — the overnight rate charged by banks when they borrow money from each other, which guides other interest rates — to 4.75% in eight quarter-percentage-point increments over the 12-month period.

Despite the increases in the fed funds rate, longer-term yields remained low for most of the period, creating a relatively flat yield curve.1

1 The yield curve is a graph with a left to right line that shows how high or low yields are, from the shortest to the longest maturities. Typically the line rises from left to right as investors who are willing to tie up their money for a longer period of time are rewarded with higher yields.

Fund Results
As of March 31, 2006

Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in them.

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

Please call for the most current yield information.

* Performance reflects a partial fee waiver which improved results during this period. Otherwise, the 7-day current average yields of Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund, Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund, Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund, Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund and Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund would have been 2.08%, .90%, 2.06%, 1.74% and 1.01%, respectively, as of March 31, 2006.

** The equivalent taxable yield allows you to compare each fund with the performance of taxable money market funds. The New York Fund equivalent taxable yield is based upon the fund's yield and an approximate combined Federal and State of New York income tax rate of 40.01%. The Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Michigan Funds equivalent taxable yields are based upon the funds' yields and an approximate combined Federal and State marginal income tax rate of 37.00%, 40.83% and 37.54%, respectively. The Florida Fund equivalent taxable yield is based upon the fund's yield and 35.00% Federal income tax rate. Income may be subject to local taxes and for some investors, the alternative minimum tax.

Throughout 2005 and early 2006, the Fed repeated its statements that additional rate increases might be needed going forward to keep the risks to economic growth and price stability in balance. At the same time, there is a sense within the market that 2006 will be a year of transition, that the Fed will probably discontinue its rate increases this year and that investors will be looking to see how well Bernanke can fine-tune the economy by utilizing the Fed's control over short-term rates.

As tax-free money market rates gradually rose during the period, the Bond Buyer One-Year Note Index began the funds' fiscal year (as of April 1, 2005) at 2.63%, and closed the 12-month period (on March 31, 2006) at 3.52%.2

During the 12-month period, we continued to focus on the highest-quality investments while seeking competitive yields across the municipal investment spectrum. We also maintained a cautious stance by targeting an average maturity similar to our peers. Most years, during "tax season," tax-free money fund investors withdraw substantial amounts of money from the market to pay their tax bills. Last year, tax-related selling pressure extended for a longer period than usual as we saw substantial tax payment withdrawals in April and May of 2005. (In contrast, tax-related selling of municipal money market securities was comparatively restrained through the first quarter of 2006.) As a result of these sales, floating-rate issuers were forced to raise their rates to attract new investors.

Our strategy during the first two months of the funds' most recent fiscal year was to increase the portfolio's floating-rate position to take advantage of the increase in rates. Up until year-end 2005, this strategy worked well for the funds, but at the close of the year our overweight position in floating-rate securities detracted slightly from returns.3 The interest rate of floating-rate securities adjusts periodically based on indices such as the Bond Market Association Index of Variable Rate Demand Notes.4 Because the interest rates of these instruments adjust as market conditions change, they provide flexibility in an uncertain interest rate environment.

Going forward, we will continue to apply a careful approach to investing on behalf of the fund and to seek competitive tax-free yield for our shareholders.

Sincerely,

Sonelius Kendrick-Smith

Information About Each Fund's Expenses

 

As an investor, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, each Fund limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended March 31, 2006.

The tables illustrate each 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.

Notes to Financial Statements  

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Investors Municipal Cash Fund (the "Trust") 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 Trust offers five series of shares — Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund, Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund, Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund, Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund and Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund (the "Funds").

The Funds' 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 Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued 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 to maturity of any discount or premium.

Federal Income Taxes. Each 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 tax-exempt income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

At March 31, 2006, the following Funds have utilized and had an approximate net tax basis capital loss carryforward which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first:

 

Capital loss Carryforward ($)

In addition, from November 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006, Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund incurred approximately $29 net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, the Fund intends to elect to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Distribution of Income. Net investment income of each Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book-to-tax differences for the Funds.

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

Expenses. Expenses of the Trust arising in connection with a specific Fund are allocated to that Fund. Other Trust expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust based on net assets.

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

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. 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.

2. Related Parties

Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor directs the investments of the Funds in accordance with their investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Funds. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The Funds pay a monthly investment management fee of 1/12 of the annual rate of 0.22% of the first $500,000,000 of the combined average daily net assets, 0.20% of the next $500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.175% of the next $1,000,000,000 of such net assets, 0.16% of the next $1,000,000,000 of such net assets and 0.15% of such net assets in excess of $3,000,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Accordingly, for the year ended March 31, 2006, the fees pursuant to the Management Agreement were equivalent to an annual effective rate of each Fund's average daily net assets as follows:

Service Provider Fees. DWS Scudder Investments Service Company ("DWS-SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent of the Trust. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DWS-SISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), DWS-SISC has delegated certain transfer agent and dividend paying agent functions to DST. DWS-SISC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Funds.

4. Line of Credit

The Funds and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $1.1 billion revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank 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, pro rata based on net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent. The Funds may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of their net assets under the agreement.

5. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

Market Timing Related Regulatory and Litigation Matters. Since at least July 2003, federal, state and industry regulators have been conducting ongoing inquiries and investigations ("inquiries") into the mutual fund industry, and have requested information from numerous mutual fund companies, including DWS Scudder. The DWS funds' advisors have been cooperating in connection with these inquiries and are in discussions with the regulators concerning proposed settlements. Publicity about mutual fund practices arising from these industry-wide inquiries serves as the general basis of a number of private lawsuits against the DWS funds. These lawsuits, which previously have been reported in the press, involve purported class action and derivative lawsuits, making various allegations and naming as defendants various persons, including certain DWS funds, the funds' investment advisors and their affiliates, and certain individuals, including in some cases fund Trustees/Directors, officers, and other parties. Each DWS fund's investment advisor has agreed to indemnify the applicable DWS funds in connection with these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making allegations similar to these lawsuits regarding market timing, revenue sharing, fund valuation or other subjects arising from or related to the pending inquiries. It is not possible to determine with certainty what the outcome of these inquiries will be or what the effect, if any, would be on the funds or their advisors.

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

With respect to the regulatory matters, Deutsche Asset Management ("DeAM") has advised the funds as follows:

DeAM expects to reach final agreements with regulators in 2006 regarding allegations of improper trading in the DWS funds. DeAM expects that it will reach settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Attorney General and the Illinois Secretary of State providing for payment of disgorgement, penalties, and investor education contributions totaling approximately $134 million. Approximately $127 million of this amount would be distributed to shareholders of the affected DWS funds in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by an independent distribution consultant. DeAM does not believe that any of the DWS funds will be named as respondents or defendants in any proceedings. The funds' investment advisors do not believe these amounts will have a material adverse financial impact on them or materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the DWS funds. The above-described amounts are not material to Deutsche Bank, and they have already been reserved.

Based on the settlement discussions thus far, DeAM believes that it will be able to reach a settlement with the regulators on a basis that is generally consistent with settlements reached by other advisors, taking into account the particular facts and circumstances of market timing at DeAM and at the legacy Scudder and Kemper organizations prior to their acquisition by DeAM in April 2002. Among the terms of the expected settled orders, DeAM would be subject to certain undertakings regarding the conduct of its business in the future, including maintaining existing management fee reductions for certain funds for a period of five years. DeAM expects that these settlements would resolve regulatory allegations that it violated certain provisions of federal and state securities laws (i) by entering into trading arrangements that permitted certain investors to engage in market timing in certain DWS funds and (ii) by failing more generally to take adequate measures to prevent market timing in the DWS funds, primarily during the 1999-2001 period. With respect to the trading arrangements, DeAM expects that the settlement documents will include allegations related to one legacy DeAM arrangement, as well as three legacy Scudder and six legacy Kemper arrangements. All of these trading arrangements originated in businesses that existed prior to the current DeAM organization, which came together in April 2002 as a result of the various mergers of the legacy Scudder, Kemper and Deutsche fund groups, and all of the arrangements were terminated prior to the start of the regulatory investigations that began in the summer of 2003. No current DeAM employee approved the trading arrangements.

There is no certainty that the final settlement documents will contain the foregoing terms and conditions. The independent Trustees/Directors of the DWS funds have carefully monitored these regulatory investigations with the assistance of independent legal counsel and independent economic consultants.

Other Regulatory Matters. DeAM is also engaged in settlement discussions with the Enforcement Staffs of the SEC and the NASD regarding DeAM's practices during 2001-2003 with respect to directing brokerage commissions for portfolio transactions by certain DWS funds to broker-dealers that sold shares in the DWS funds and provided enhanced marketing and distribution for shares in the DWS funds. In addition, on January 13, 2006, DWS Scudder Distributors, Inc. received a Wells notice from the Enforcement Staff of the NASD regarding DWS Scudder Distributors' payment of non-cash compensation to associated persons of NASD member firms, as well as DWS Scudder Distributors' procedures regarding non-cash compensation regarding entertainment provided to such associated persons.

6. Payments made by Affiliates

During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Advisor voluntarily reimbursed the Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund $1,707, the Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund $2,140, and the Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund $7,890 for losses on investments resulting from sales to fund a redemption request on October 26, 2004.

7. Cessation of Operations

Upon the recommendation of the Advisor, the Board of the Funds approved the termination and liquidation of Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund, Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund, Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund and Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund effective September 22, 2006 (the "Liquidation Date"). Accordingly, the Funds will redeem the shares of any fund shareholder outstanding on the Liquidation Date. The Advisor has agreed to pay the cost of the liquidation.

The Board also further approved closing the Funds to new intermediary relationships. If any of the Funds are offered as a "cash sweep" option, the funds will remain available for new sales through such arrangement until the Liquidation Date.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of
Investors Municipal Cash Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Investors Municipal Cash Fund (comprising the Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund, Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund, Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund, Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund and Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund) (collectively, the "Funds"), as of March 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principals used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of March 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the funds constituting Investors Municipal Cash Fund at March 31, 2006, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 2.

CODE OF ETHICS.

 

As of the end of the period, March 31, 2006, Investors Municipal Cash Fund has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, that applies to its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer.

 

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

 

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

 

 

ITEM 3.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

 

The Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees has determined that the Fund has at least one “audit committee financial expert” serving on its audit committee: Mr. Donald L. Dunaway. This audit committee member is “independent,” meaning that he is not an “interested person” of the Fund (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940) and he does not accept any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Fund (except in the capacity as a Board or committee member).

 

An “audit committee financial expert” is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated as an “audit committee financial expert.” Further, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not mean that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on the person without the “audit committee financial expert” designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

2 I. Overview This Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer Code of Ethics ("Officer Code") sets forth the policies, practices, and values expected to be exhibited in the conduct of the Principal Executive Officers and Principal Financial Officers of the investment companies ("Funds") they serve ("Covered Officers"). A list of Covered Officers and Funds is included on Appendix A. The Boards of the Funds listed on Appendix A have elected to implement the Officer Code, pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC's rules thereunder, to promote and demonstrate honest and ethical conduct in their Covered Officers. Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. or its affiliates ("DeAM") serves as the investment adviser to each Fund. All Covered Officers are also employees of DeAM or an affiliate. Thus, in addition to adhering to the Officer Code, these individuals must comply with DeAM policies and procedures, such as the DeAM Code of Ethics governing personal trading activities, as adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.(1) In addition, such individuals also must comply with other applicable Fund policies and procedures. The DeAM Compliance Officer, who shall not be a Covered Officer and who shall serve as such subject to the approval of the Fund's Board (or committee thereof), is primarily responsible for implementing and enforcing this Code. The Compliance Officer has the authority to interpret this Officer Code and its applicability to particular circumstances. Any questions about the Officer Code should be directed to the DeAM Compliance Officer. The DeAM Compliance Officer and his or her contact information can be found in Appendix A. II. Purposes of the Officer Code The purposes of the Officer Code are to deter wrongdoing and to: o promote honest and ethical conduct among Covered Officers, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; o promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosures in reports and documents that the Funds file with or submit to the SEC (and in other public communications from the Funds) and that are within the Covered Officer's responsibilities; o promote compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations; o encourage the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Officer Code to the DeAM Compliance Officer; and o establish accountability for adherence to the Officer Code. Any questions about the Officer Code should be referred to DeAM's - -------- (1) The obligations imposed by the Officer Code are separate from, and in addition to, any obligations imposed under codes of ethics adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and any other code of conduct applicable to Covered Officers in whatever capacity they serve. The Officer Code does not incorporate any of those other codes and, accordingly, violations of those codes will not necessarily be considered violations of the Officer Code and waivers granted under those codes would not necessarily require a waiver to be granted under this Code. Sanctions imposed under those codes may be considered in determining appropriate sanctions for any violation of this Code. Compliance Officer. 3 III. Responsibilities of Covered Officers A. Honest and Ethical Conduct It is the duty of every Covered Officer to encourage and demonstrate honest and ethical conduct, as well as adhere to and require adherence to the Officer Code and any other applicable policies and procedures designed to promote this behavior. Covered Officers must at all times conduct themselves with integrity and distinction, putting first the interests of the Fund(s) they serve. Covered Officers must be honest and candid while maintaining confidentiality of information where required by law, DeAM policy or Fund policy. Covered Officers also must, at all times, act in good faith, responsibly and with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting or being misleading about material facts or allowing their independent judgment to be subordinated. Covered Officers also should maintain skills appropriate and necessary for the performance of their duties for the Fund(s). Covered Officers also must responsibly use and control all Fund assets and resources entrusted to them. Covered Officers may not retaliate against others for, or otherwise discourage the reporting of, actual or apparent violations of the Officer Code or applicable laws or regulations. Covered Officers should create an environment that encourages the exchange of information, including concerns of the type that this Code is designed to address. B. Conflicts of Interest A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's personal interests interfere with the interests of the Fund for which he or she serves as an officer. Covered Officers may not improperly use their position with a Fund for personal or private gain to themselves, their family, or any other person. Similarly, Covered Officers may not use their personal influence or personal relationships to influence decisions or other Fund business or operational matters where they would benefit personally at the Fund's expense or to the Fund's detriment. Covered Officers may not cause the Fund to take action, or refrain from taking action, for their personal benefit at the Fund's expense or to the Fund's detriment. Some examples of conflicts of interest follow (this is not an all-inclusive list): being in the position of supervising, reviewing or having any influence on the job evaluation, pay or benefit of any immediate family member who is an employee of a Fund service provider or is otherwise associated with the Fund; or having an ownership interest in, or having any consulting or employment relationship with, any Fund service provider other than DeAM or its affiliates. Certain conflicts of interest covered by this Code arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Fund that already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Fund. Covered Officers must comply with applicable laws and regulations. Therefore, any violations of existing statutory and regulatory prohibitions on individual behavior could be considered a violation of this Code. As to conflicts arising from, or as a result of the advisory relationship (or any other relationships) between the Fund and DeAM, of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees, it is recognized by the Board that, subject to DeAM's fiduciary duties to the Fund, the Covered Officers will in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund or for DeAM, or for both) be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on 4 DeAM and the Fund. The Board recognizes that the participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contract relationship between the Fund and DeAM, and is consistent with the expectation of the Board of the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund. Covered Officers should avoid actual conflicts of interest, and appearances of conflicts of interest, between the Covered Officer's duties to the Fund and his or her personal interests beyond those contemplated or anticipated by applicable regulatory schemes. If a Covered Officer suspects or knows of a conflict or an appearance of one, the Covered Officer must immediately report the matter to the DeAM Compliance Officer. If a Covered Officer, in lieu of reporting such a matter to the DeAM Compliance Officer, may report the matter directly to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof), as appropriate (e.g., if the conflict involves the DeAM Compliance Officer or the Covered Officer reasonably believes it would be futile to report the matter to the DeAM Compliance Officer). When actual, apparent or suspected conflicts of interest arise in connection with a Covered Officer, DeAM personnel aware of the matter should promptly contact the DeAM Compliance Officer. There will be no reprisal or retaliation against the person reporting the matter. Upon receipt of a report of a possible conflict, the DeAM Compliance Officer will take steps to determine whether a conflict exists. In so doing, the DeAM Compliance Officer may take any actions he or she determines to be appropriate in his or her sole discretion and may use all reasonable resources, including retaining or engaging legal counsel, accounting firms or other consultants, subject to applicable law.(2) The costs associated with such actions may be borne by the Fund, if appropriate, after consultation with the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). Otherwise, such costs will be borne by DeAM or other appropriate Fund service provider. After full review of a report of a possible conflict of interest, the DeAM Compliance Officer may determine that no conflict or reasonable appearance of a conflict exists. If, however, the DeAM Compliance Officer determines that an actual conflict exists, the Compliance Officer will resolve the conflict solely in the interests of the Fund, and will report the conflict and its resolution to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). If the DeAM Compliance Officer determines that the appearance of a conflict exists, the DeAM Compliance Officer will take appropriate steps to remedy such appearance. In lieu of determining whether a conflict exists and/or resolving a conflict, the DeAM Compliance Officer instead may refer the matter to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof), as appropriate. However, the DeAM Compliance Officer must refer the matter to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof) if the DeAM Compliance Officer is directly involved in the conflict or under similar appropriate circumstances. After responding to a report of a possible conflict of interest, the DeAM Compliance Officer will discuss the matter with the person reporting it (and with the Covered Officer at issue, if different) for purposes of educating those involved on conflicts of interests (including how to detect and avoid them, if appropriate). Appropriate resolution of conflicts may restrict the personal activities of the Covered Officer and/or his family, friends or other persons. Solely because a conflict is disclosed to the DeAM Compliance Officer (and/or the Board or Committee thereof) and/or resolved by the DeAM Compliance Officer does not mean that the conflict or its resolution constitutes a waiver from the Code's requirements. - -------- (2) For example, retaining a Fund's independent accounting firm may require pre-approval by the Fund's audit committee. 5 Any questions about conflicts of interests, including whether a particular situation might be a conflict or an appearance of one, should be directed to the DeAM Compliance Officer. C. Use of Personal Fund Shareholder Information A Covered Officer may not use or disclose personal information about Fund shareholders, except in the performance of his or her duties for the Fund. Each Covered Officer also must abide by the Funds' and DeAM's privacy policies under SEC Regulation S-P. D. Public Communications In connection with his or her responsibilities for or involvement with a Fund's public communications and disclosure documents (e.g., shareholder reports, registration statements, press releases), each Covered Officer must provide information to Fund service providers (within the DeAM organization or otherwise) and to the Fund's Board (and any committees thereof), independent auditors, government regulators and self-regulatory organizations that is fair, accurate, complete, objective, relevant, timely and understandable. Further, within the scope of their duties, Covered Officers having direct or supervisory authority over Fund disclosure documents or other public Fund communications will, to the extent appropriate within their area of responsibility, endeavor to ensure full, fair, timely, accurate and understandable disclosure in Fund disclosure documents. Such Covered Officers will oversee, or appoint others to oversee, processes for the timely and accurate creation and review of all public reports and regulatory filings. Within the scope of his or her responsibilities as a Covered Officer, each Covered Officer also will familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements applicable to the Fund, as well as the business and financial operations of the Fund. Each Covered Officer also will adhere to, and will promote adherence to, applicable disclosure controls, processes and procedures, including DeAM's Disclosure Controls and Procedures, which govern the process by which Fund disclosure documents are created and reviewed. To the extent that Covered Officers participate in the creation of a Fund's books or records, they must do so in a way that promotes the accuracy, fairness and timeliness of those records. E. Compliance with Applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations In connection with his or her duties and within the scope of his or her responsibilities as a Covered Officer, each Covered Officer must comply with governmental laws, rules and regulations, accounting standards, and Fund policies/procedures that apply to his or her role, responsibilities and duties with respect to the Funds ("Applicable Laws"). These requirements do not impose on Covered Officers any additional substantive duties. Additionally, Covered Officers should promote compliance with Applicable Laws. If a Covered Officer knows of any material violations of Applicable Laws or suspects that such a violation may have occurred, the Covered Officer is expected to promptly report the matter to the DeAM Compliance Officer. 6 IV. Violation Reporting A. Overview Each Covered Officer must promptly report to the DeAM Compliance Officer, and promote the reporting of, any known or suspected violations of the Officer Code. Failure to report a violation may be a violation of the Officer Code. Examples of violations of the Officer Code include, but are not limited to, the following: o Unethical or dishonest behavior o Obvious lack of adherence to policies surrounding review and approval of public communications and regulatory filings o Failure to report violations of the Officer Code o Known or obvious deviations from Applicable Laws o Failure to acknowledge and certify adherence to the Officer Code The DeAM Compliance Officer has the authority to take any and all action he or she considers appropriate in his or her sole discretion to investigate known or suspected Code violations, including consulting with the Fund's Board, the independent Board members, a Board committee, the Fund's legal counsel and/or counsel to the independent Board members. The Compliance Officer also has the authority to use all reasonable resources to investigate violations, including retaining or engaging legal counsel, accounting firms or other consultants, subject to applicable law.(3) The costs associated with such actions may be borne by the Fund, if appropriate, after consultation with the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). Otherwise, such costs will be borne by DeAM. B. How to Report Any known or suspected violations of the Officer Code must be promptly reported to the DeAM Compliance Officer. C. Process for Violation Reporting to the Fund Board The DeAM Compliance Officer will promptly report any violations of the Code to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). D. Sanctions for Code Violations Violations of the Code will be taken seriously. In response to reported or otherwise known violations, DeAM and the relevant Fund's Board may impose sanctions within the scope of their respective authority over the Covered Officer at issue. Sanctions imposed by DeAM could include termination of employment. Sanctions imposed by a Fund's Board could include termination of association with the Fund. V. Waivers from the Officer Code A Covered Officer may request a waiver from the Officer Code by transmitting a written request for a waiver to the DeAM Compliance Officer.(4) The request must include the rationale for the request and must explain how the waiver would be in furtherance of the standards of conduct described in and underlying purposes of the Officer Code. The DeAM Compliance Officer will present this information - -------- (3) For example, retaining a Fund's independent accounting firm may require pre-approval by the Fund's audit committee. (4) Of course, it is not a waiver of the Officer Code if the Fund's Board (or committee thereof) determines that a matter is not a deviation from the Officer Code's requirements or is otherwise not covered by the Code. 7 to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). The Board (or committee) will determine whether to grant the requested waiver. If the Board (or committee) grants the requested waiver, the DeAM Compliance Officer thereafter will monitor the activities subject to the waiver, as appropriate, and will promptly report to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof) regarding such activities, as appropriate. The DeAM Compliance Officer will coordinate and facilitate any required public disclosures of any waivers granted or any implicit waivers. VI. Amendments to the Code The DeAM Compliance Officer will review the Officer Code from time to time for its continued appropriateness and will propose any amendments to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof) on a timely basis. In addition, the Board (or committee thereof) will review the Officer Code at least annually for its continued appropriateness and may amend the Code as necessary or appropriate. The DeAM Compliance Officer will coordinate and facilitate any required public disclosures of Code amendments. VII. Acknowledgement and Certification of Adherence to the Officer Code Each Covered Officer must sign a statement upon appointment as a Covered Officer and annually thereafter acknowledging that he or she has received and read the Officer Code, as amended or updated, and confirming that he or she has complied with it (see Appendix B: Acknowledgement and Certification of Obligations Under the Officer Code). Understanding and complying with the Officer Code and truthfully completing the Acknowledgement and Certification Form is each Covered Officer's obligation. The DeAM Compliance Officer will maintain such Acknowledgements in the Fund's books and records. VIII. Scope of Responsibilities A Covered Officer's responsibilities under the Officer Code are limited to: (1) Fund matters over which the Officer has direct responsibility or control, matters in which the Officer routinely participates, and matters with which the Officer is otherwise involved (i.e., matters within the scope of the Covered Officer's responsibilities as a Fund officer); and (2) Fund matters of which the Officer has actual knowledge. IX. Recordkeeping The DeAM Compliance Officer will create and maintain appropriate records regarding the implementation and operation of the Officer Code, including records relating to conflicts of interest determinations and investigations of possible Code violations. 8 X. Confidentiality All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Officer Code shall be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Officer Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the DeAM Compliance Officer, the Fund's Board (or committee thereof), legal counsel, independent auditors, and any consultants engaged by the Compliance Officer. 9 Appendices Appendix A: List of Officers Covered under the Code, by Board:
