This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. To obtain a prospectus for any of our funds, refer to the Account Management Resources information provided in the back of this booklet. We advise you to consider the fund's objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the fund. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Investments in mutual funds involve risk. Some funds have more risk than others. The fund may focus its investments in certain geographical regions, thereby increasing its vulnerability to developments in that region and potentially subjecting the fund's shares to greater shares price volatility. Additionally, investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation and political and economic changes and market risks. This fund is also "non-diversified" and can take larger positions in fewer companies, increasing its overall potential risk. All of these factors may result in greater share price volatility. Please read this fund's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

Performance Summary October 31, 2007

Classes A, B and C

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

Please keep in mind that high double-digit returns were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions. Investors should not expect that such favorable returns can be consistently achieved. A Fund's performance, especially for very short time periods, should not be the sole factor in making your investment decision.

The maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.75%. For Class B shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is 4% within the first year after purchase, declining to 0% after six years. Class C shares have no adjustment for front-end sales charges, but redemptions within one year of purchase may be subject to a CDSC of 1%. Unadjusted returns do not reflect sales charges and would have been lower if they had.

The total annual fund operating expense ratios, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements, as stated in the fee table of the prospectus dated March 1, 2007 are 1.81%, 2.88% and 2.70% for Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively. Please see the Information About Your Fund's Expenses, the Financial Highlights and Notes to the Financial Statements (Note C, Related Parties) sections of this report for gross and net expense related disclosure for the period ended October 31, 2007.

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

Returns and rankings during the 5-year and 10-year periods for Class A and the 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods for Class B and C shares reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns and rankings would have been lower.

Performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Returns and rankings may differ by share class.

Returns shown for Class A, B and C shares for the periods prior to their inception on May 29, 2001 are derived from the historical performance of Class S shares of DWS Latin America Equity Fund during such periods and have been adjusted to reflect the higher gross total annual operating expenses of each specific class. Any difference in expenses will affect performance.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses

As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, 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 the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. 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 (May 1, 2007 to October 31, 2007).

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

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

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

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

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended October 31, 2007
Actual Fund Return	Class A	Class B	Class C	Class S

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Q: How did the Latin American stock markets perform during the annual period?

A: The region's equity markets performed exceptionally well during the past year, as measured by the 78.51% return of the fund's benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EM (Emerging Markets) Latin America Index.¹ This return compared very favorably with both the broader emerging markets asset class, as gauged by the 68.33% return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, as well as the global developed markets, as measured by the 20.39% return of the MSCI World Index.²

¹ The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EM (Emerging Markets) Latin America Index is an unmanaged free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in seven Latin American markets.
² The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of companies in a universe of 26 emerging markets. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index is an unmanaged, capitalization weighted measure of global stock markets, including the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and the Far East.
The MSCI indices are calculated using closing market prices and translate into US dollars using the London close foreign exchange rates. All index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The rally of the past year has built upon a five-year stretch of outstanding performance for Latin American equities. During the five-year period, the average annual return of the benchmark index is 54.24%, besting the returns of both the MSCI World and MSCI Emerging Markets indices during this time.

Currency movements added to the positive returns for dollar-based investors during the past year.³ While the Mexican peso rose only marginally during the annual period, the Brazilian real surged. One year ago, 2.14 reales were required to purchase one US dollar; by October 31, 2007, this number had fallen to 1.757. As a result, Brazil's Bovespa Stock Index produced a US dollar return of 105%, far above its local currency return of 66%.⁴

³ Since foreign shares are denominated in local country currencies, a gain in the value of the local currencies versus the dollar increases the value of the investment in US dollar terms.
⁴ The Bovespa Stock Index is a total return index weighted by traded volume and is comprised of the most liquid stocks traded on the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Although the Latin American markets performed well for the majority of the year, there were two notable periods of weakness. Both were triggered by concerns about problems in the US subprime mortgage market. The first bout of volatility occurred in late February, but the markets quickly recovered as investors began to take a more measured view on the ability of the US economy to weather the subprime storm. The asset class resumed its strong performance during the second quarter, but tumbled once again in late July when renewed subprime concerns spread to the global money markets and fanned fears of a credit crunch. The Latin American markets began to recover in mid-August when it became clear the US Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) would take steps to alleviate the nascent financial crisis. The region's markets surpassed their previous highs by late September, then continued to climb through the end of October.

Q: How did the fund perform?

A: The total return of the fund's Class A shares for the 12 months ended October 31, 2007, was 70.34%. While strong on an absolute basis, this return trailed the 78.51% gain of the MSCI EM Latin America Index and the 77.24% average return for the 19 funds in its Lipper peer group, Latin America Funds.⁵ (Returns are unadjusted for sales charges. If sales charges had been included, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Please see pages 4 through 8 for complete performance information.)

⁵ The Lipper Latin America Funds category consists of funds which concentrate their investments in equity securities with primary trading markets or operations concentrated in the Latin American region or in a single country within this region. Category returns assume reinvestment if dividends. It is not possible to invest directly into a Lipper category.

Q: What factors influenced performance of the Latin American markets?

A: The two largest markets in the region — Brazil and Mexico — were subject to a very disparate set of factors, and this was reflected in the returns of the two countries. At the same time as the Bovespa returned over 100% in US dollars, as noted previously, Mexico gained only about 40% as measured by the Mexican Bolsa Index.⁶

⁶ The Mexican Bolsa Index, or the IPC (Indice de Precios y Cotizaciones), is a capitalization-weighted index of the leading stocks traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike fund returns, do not included fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

The strong performance of the Brazilian market was due in large part to the continued boom in China's economy and Brazil's increasing role as a principal supplier for Chinese industry. Rising worldwide demand for steel, industrial metals and other commodities fueled the Brazilian economy and, in turn, its stock market. At the same time, muted inflation enabled the central bank to aggressively cut interest rates, resulting in increased consumer purchasing power and stronger economic growth. Brazil's benchmark SELIC rate (the Brazilian Central Bank's overnight lending rate) stood at 11.25% at the end of October, compared with 13.75% one year ago.

Mexico, on the other hand, has less exposure to commodity exports and a much higher sensitivity to the US economy. As a result, it was more adversely affected by the downturn in housing prices, the US subprime mortgage crisis and the fears of a slowing US economy. Given that remittances from Mexican workers living in the United States had been an important factor in financing basic consumption, the decline in the growth rates for this flow of funds had a negative impact on consumption — an important development for equities given the large representation of consumer stocks in Mexico's market. Mexico was also hurt by rising inflation, particularly with regard to food prices, and that has led to a more restrictive central bank policy than that of Brazil.

Elsewhere in the region, Peru's stock market performed very well due to its heavy weighting in companies with exposure to copper, gold and other metals. Chile, which was affected by political uncertainty, slower-than-expected growth and an unfavorable interest rate backdrop, underperformed. Argentina also lagged as a result of political uncertainty.

Q: What were the key factors affecting the fund's relative performance?

A: In terms of country weightings, the fund was helped by an overweight (above-benchmark weighting) in Brazil, but was hurt by holding an overweight in Mexico through the first six months of the annual period. Among the smaller countries in the region, underweights (below-benchmark weightings) in Chile and Argentina proved helpful, while an underweight in Peru, which has a heavy representation in mining stocks, detracted.

The largest impact on performance came from our decision to move from overweight to underweight in materials stocks during the latter half of the period. The overweight initially made a positive contribution to performance due to the strong gains in stocks such as Companhia Vale do Rio Doce ("CVRD") and Southern Copper Corp. Unfortunately, our move to an underweight — which was based largely on increased valuations in the sector — meant that we were not able to take full advantage of the strong rally in these stocks during September and October. As an example, shares of CVRD gained about 50% in the final two months of the period, while Southern Copper rose 32%. Given the extent of these moves, the fund's underweight position in the materials sector late in the period led to a shortfall in performance.

In the telecommunications sector, performance was helped by the fund's overweights in America Movil SAB de CV and Axtel SAB de CV in Mexico, and GVT Holding SA in Brazil. Unfortunately, a position in NII Holdings, Inc., a wireless operator focused on business customers, offset some of these gains when the stock lost over a third of its value from its high-water mark reached in late July. The fund's positions in airline stocks, which suffered from rising costs, also weighed on relative performance, but an overweight in the energy stock Petroleo Brasileiro SA ("Petrobras") was a positive. The fund also benefited from an overweight in Brazilian financials, which performed well amid the environment of falling interest rates.

Q: From a broad standpoint, how is the fund positioned?

A: Given the increased uncertainty in the global financial markets, our preference is toward markets with "home-grown" advantages, such as Brazil. Conversely, we remain underweight in Mexico, whose fortunes are more dependant on the United States. We continue to like commodity companies in Brazil but believe the main drivers of the Brazilian economic growth will be increasingly domestic: robust labor markets, increased access to credit, and high levels of business and consumer confidence. This has created a virtuous circle that has stimulated consumption, given rise to a strong investment culture, and established the basis for long-term growth. Consequently, the fund remains overweight in Brazil. We are maintaining positions in the Brazilian energy and commodity sectors, and we continue to focus on Brazilian banks — a sector that we think will continue to benefit from a stronger consumer, lower lending rates, new product offerings and a better economic environment. The strength of the Brazilian consumer sector also forms the basis for our investment case in certain retail, health care and technology companies.

In Mexico, we are taking a more cautious stance due to our ongoing concerns about the consumer sector. Our investments in the country are in telecommunications, select infrastructure plays, Grupo Televisa SA, and the retailer Wal-Mart de Mexico SAB de CV. With the exception of a few other holdings in smaller companies that are not represented in the benchmark, the fund is underweight in most of the stocks in Mexico's market. While we remain positive on the Mexican consumer story on a longer-term basis, our near-term concerns are prompting us to take a conservative approach to the sector.

Q: What is your overall view of the Latin American markets?

A: We continue to believe that Latin American equities are in the midst of a long-term bull market. Still, in light of the turbulence we have witnessed in recent months, it is natural to ask whether the Latin American equity markets can stay the course and remain relatively immune to the credit crunch and housing troubles in the United States. So far, however, the economic fallout in Latin America has been minimal. The most recent gross domestic product (GDP) forecast by Morgan Stanley calls for the region's economic growth to reach 5.3% for 2007 and 4.5% for 2008. Several countries, such as Brazil, Colombia and Peru, are delivering growth figures not seen in decades and we believe are well positioned for future growth. In addition, the region has become less vulnerable to external shocks. In Brazil, for example, the ongoing commodities boom has allowed the country to improve its "balance sheet" and reduce its debt-to-GDP and debt-to-export ratios to levels that are far healthier than those of the past. Notably, Brazil is on track to have its bonds upgraded to investment grade within the next 12 months.

The strong performance of Latin American equities during the past year is also leading some investors to question whether the region is still undervalued compared to its global and emerging market peers. Latin American equities are indeed trading at historical highs by most valuation measures, but we maintain that these higher levels are warranted given the historically high profitability, earnings growth prospects and overall strong fundamentals of the region. Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results. Moreover, Latin American equities remain under-owned in both global and domestic pension funds, and we believe these levels will increase over time. In the case of the domestic pension funds, particularly in Brazil, we believe these investors will continue to boost the percentage of local equities in their portfolios as interest rates decline.

Despite this positive outlook, we believe the Latin American equity markets are bound to overreact in the short term to external crises such as those we witnessed during August. Still, these markets are on a much sounder footing than ever before. We believe Latin American macroeconomic and corporate fundamentals are experiencing an unprecedented improvement, supporting our positive long-term outlook.

Notes to Financial Statements

A. Significant Accounting Policies

DWS Latin America Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a non-diversified series of DWS International Fund, Inc. (the "Corporation") 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 Maryland corporation.

The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which provide investors with different purchase options. Class A shares are offered to investors subject to an initial sales charge. Class B shares are offered to investors without an initial sales charge, but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares six years after issuance. Class C shares are offered to investors without an initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions within one year of purchase. Class C shares do not convert into another class. Class S shares are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges and are generally not available to new investors except under certain circumstances.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, are borne pro rata on the basis of relative net assets by the holders of 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.

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

Money market instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less, maturing at par, are valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies and Cash Management QP Trust are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Directors. The Fund may use a fair valuation model to value international equity securities in order to adjust for events which may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the close of the New York Stock Exchange.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of October 31, 2007, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the statement of operations for a fiscal period.

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

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

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. A forward foreign currency exchange contract ("forward currency contract") is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign currency denominated portfolio holdings and to facilitate transactions in foreign currency denominated securities. The Fund may also engage in forward currency contracts for non-hedging purposes.

Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and unrealized gain (loss) is recorded daily. Sales and purchases of forward currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any gain (loss) is realized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is realized on settlement date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses which represent the difference between the value of a forward currency contract to buy and a forward currency contract to sell are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Additionally, when utilizing forward currency contracts to hedge, the Fund gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract.

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. Accordingly, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

At October 31, 2007, the Fund had an inherited net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $3,601,000 which may be applied against certain realized net taxable capital gains each succeeding year until fully utilized or until October 31, 2008, the expiration date, whichever occurs first, and which may be subject to certain limitations under Sections 382-384 of the Internal Revenue Code.

During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund utilized approximately $3,601,000 of a prior year capital loss carryforward.

Additionally, based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.

The Fund is subject to a 0.38% Contribuicao Provisoria sobre Movimentacao Financiera ("CPMF") transaction tax which is applied to Brazilian Real exchange transactions representing capital inflows or outflows to the Brazilian market.

In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (the "Interpretation"). The Interpretation establishes for the Fund a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether the Fund is taxable in certain jurisdictions), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. On December 22, 2006, the SEC indicated that they would not object if a Fund implements FIN 48 in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is evaluating the application of the Interpretation to the Fund and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Fund's financial statements.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund, if any, is declared and distributed to shareholders annually. Net realized gains from investment transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to the Fund if not distributed, and, therefore, will be distributed to shareholders at least annually.

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

At October 31, 2007, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income*	$ 31,611,754
Undistributed net long-term capital gains	$ 148,215,576
Capital loss carryforwards	$ (3,601,000)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments	$ 744,503,819

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

	Years Ended October 31,
	2007	2006
Distributions from ordinary income*	$ 41,657,594	$ 7,787,066
Distributions from long-term capital gains	$ 58,397,633	$ 38,198,243

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

Redemption Fees. For the period from November 1, 2006 to March 11, 2007, the redemption or exchange of shares held for less than 30 days were assessed a fee of 2% of the total amount redeemed or exchanged. Effective March 12, 2007, the Fund imposes a redemption fee of 2% of the total redemption amount on all Fund shares redeemed or exchanged within 15 days of buying them, either by purchase or exchange. This fee is assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in-capital.

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

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

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

B. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the year ended October 31, 2007, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $594,252,705 and $631,979,598, respectively.

C. Related Parties

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

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

First $400 million of the Fund's average daily net assets	1.165%
Over $400 million of such net assets	1.065%

Accordingly, for the year ended October 31, 2007, the fee pursuant to the management agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 1.11% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

For the period from October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007, the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses of the Fund (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest, proxy and organizational and offering expenses) to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses of certain classes as follows:

Class B	2.73%
Class C	2.73%
Class S	1.60%

Administration Fee. Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, the Advisor 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 October 31, 2007, the Advisor received an Administration Fee of $972,515, of which $103,407 is unpaid.

Service Provider Fees. DWS Scudder Investments Service Company ("DWS-SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent for the Fund. Prior to April 1, 2007, DWS Scudder Service Corporation ("DWS-SSC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, was the transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent for Class S shares of the Fund. Effective April 1, 2007, DWS-SSC merged with DWS-SISC. The Board of the Fund approved a new transfer agency agreement between the Fund and DWS-SISC. The new transfer agency agreement is identical in substance to the previous transfer agency agreement for the Fund, except for the named transfer agent. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement among DWS-SISC, DWS-SSC (through March 31, 2007) and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), DWS-SISC and DWS-SSC have delegated certain transfer agent and dividend paying agent functions to DST. DWS-SISC and DWS-SSC compensate DST out of the shareholder servicing fee they receive from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the amounts charged to the Fund by DWS-SISC and DWS-SSC (through March 31, 2007) were as follows:

Services to Shareholders	Total Aggregated	Unpaid at October 31, 2007
Class A	$ 73,477	$ 13,596
Class B	12,202	2,527
Class C	24,536	4,850
Class S	662,708	113,116
	$ 772,923	$ 134,089

Distribution and Service Fees. Under the Fund's Class B and Class C 12b-1 Plans, DWS Scudder Distributors, Inc. ("DWS-SDI"), an affiliate of the Advisor, receives a fee ("Distribution Fee") of 0.75% of average daily net assets of each of Class B and C shares. In accordance with the Fund's Underwriting and Distribution Services Agreement DWS-SDI enters into related selling group agreements with various firms at various rates for sales of Class B and C shares. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Distribution Fee was as follows:

Distribution Fee	Total Aggregated	Unpaid at October 31, 2007
Class B	$ 75,274	$ 8,122
Class C	143,928	16,675
	$ 219,202	$ 24,797

In addition, DWS-SDI provides information and administrative services for a fee ("Service Fee") to Class A, B and C shareholders at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets for each such class. DWS-SDI in turn has various agreements with financial services firms that provide these services and pays these fees based upon assets of shareholder accounts the firms service. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Service Fee was as follows:

Service Fee	Total Aggregated	Unpaid at October 31, 2007	Annual Effective Rate
Class A	$ 160,348	$ 18,044	.21%
Class B	23,207	2,347	.23%
Class C	44,906	4,852	.23%
	$ 228,461	$ 25,243

Underwriting Agreement and Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. DWS-SDI is the principal underwriter for the Fund. Underwriting commissions paid in connection with the distribution of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2007 aggregated $52,770.

In addition, DWS-SDI receives any contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") from Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of purchase. There is no such charge upon redemption of any share appreciation or reinvested dividends. The CDSC is based on declining rates ranging from 4% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the value of the shares redeemed. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the CDSC for Class B and Class C shares aggregated $34,602 and $43,821, respectively. A deferred sales charge of up to 1% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares. For the year ended October 31, 2007, DWS-SDI received $2,139 for Class A shares.

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 October 31, 2007, the amount charged to the Fund by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "reports to shareholders" aggregated $17,530, of which $8,336 is unpaid.

Directors' Fees and Expenses. As compensation for his or her services, each Independent Director receives an aggregated annual fee, plus a fee for each meeting attended (plus reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his or her attendance at board and committee meetings) from each fund in the Fund Complex for which he or she serves. In addition, the Chairperson of the Board and the Chairperson of each committee of the Board receive additional compensation for their services. Payment of such fees and expenses is allocated among all such funds described above in direct proportion to their relative net assets.

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

D. Investing in Emerging Markets

Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States of America. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political, social and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls or delayed settlements and may have their prices more volatile than those of comparable securities of issuers in the United States of America.

E. Line of Credit

The Fund and other affiliated Funds (the "Participants") share in a $750 million revolving credit facility administered by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.35 percent. The Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 25 percent of its net assets under the agreement.

At October 31, 2007, the Fund had a $7,000,000 outstanding loan. Interest expense incurred on the borrowing was $25,170 for the year ended October 31, 2007. The average dollar amount of the borrowings was $5,740,000, the weighted average interest rate on these borrowings was 5.78% and the Fund had a loan outstanding for twenty-five days throughout the period.

Investment Management Agreement Approval

The Fund's Directors approved the continuation of the Fund's current investment management agreement with DIMA in September 2007.

In terms of the process that the Directors followed prior to approving the agreement, shareholders should know that:

At the present time, all but one of your Fund's Directors are independent of DIMA and its affiliates.

The Directors meet frequently to discuss fund matters. Each year, the Directors dedicate part or all of several meetings to contract review matters. In connection with reviewing the Fund's investment management agreement, the Directors also review the terms of the Fund's Rule 12b-1 plan, distribution agreement, administration agreement, transfer agency agreement and other material service agreements.

In connection with the Board's 2007 contract review, the Board formed a special committee to facilitate careful review of the funds' contractual arrangements. After reviewing the Fund's arrangements, that committee recommended that the Board vote to approve the continuation of the Fund's investment management agreement.

The Directors regularly meet privately with their independent counsel to discuss contract review and other matters. In addition, the Directors were also advised by two consultants, including the Fund's independent fee consultant, in the course of their 2007 review of the Fund's contractual arrangements. In particular, the Directors considered the report prepared by the independent fee consultant in connection with their deliberations.

The Directors believe that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious advisor is in the best interest of shareholders. As you may know, DIMA is part of Deutsche Bank, a major global banking institution that is engaged in a wide range of financial services. The Directors believe that there are significant 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.

Shareholders may focus primarily on fund performance and fees, but the Fund's Directors consider these and many other factors, including the quality and integrity of DIMA's personnel and such other issues as back-office operations, fund valuations, and compliance policies and procedures.

In determining to approve the continuation of the Fund's current investment management agreement, the Board considered all factors that it believes relevant to the interests of Fund shareholders, including:

The investment management fee schedule for the Fund, including (i) comparative information provided by Lipper regarding investment management fee rates paid to other investment advisors by similar funds and (ii) fee rates paid to DIMA by similar funds and institutional accounts advised by DIMA (if any). With respect to management fees paid to other investment advisors by similar funds, the Directors noted that the contractual fee rates paid by the Fund were higher than the median (3rd quartile) of the applicable Lipper peer group (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2006). The Board gave a lesser weight to fees paid by similar institutional accounts advised by DIMA, in light of the material differences in the scope of services provided to mutual funds as compared to those provided to institutional accounts. Taking into account the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fee schedule in effect for the Fund represents reasonable compensation in light of the nature, extent and quality of the investment services being provided to the Fund.

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows. In this regard, the Board noted that the Fund's investment management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund's fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between Fund shareholders and DIMA of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Fund at current asset levels.

The total operating expenses of the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted that the total (net) operating expenses of the Fund (Class A shares) are expected to be lower than the median (2nd quartile) of the applicable Lipper expense universe (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2006, and in each case analyzing Class A expenses less any applicable distribution and/or service plan expenses). The Board considered the expenses of this class to be representative for purposes of evaluating other classes of shares. 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 also noted that the expense limitations agreed to by DIMA helped to ensure that the Fund's total (net) operating expenses would be competitive relative to the applicable Lipper universe.

The investment performance of the Fund and DIMA, both absolute and relative to various benchmarks and industry peer groups. The Board noted that for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the Fund's performance (Class S shares) was in the 4th quartile of the applicable Lipper universe. The Board also observed that the Fund has underperformed its benchmark in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006. The Directors observed that there were significant limitations to the usefulness of the comparative data provided by Lipper, Inc., noting the relatively small size of the Lipper expense universe, as well as the Fund's strong absolute performance (42.72% annual net returns for the three-year period ended December 31, 2006). The Board recognized that DIMA has made significant changes in its investment personnel and processes in recent years in an effort to improve long-term performance.

The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided by DIMA. The Board considered extensive information regarding DIMA, including DIMA's personnel (including particularly those personnel with responsibilities for providing services to the Fund), resources, policies and investment processes. The Board also considered the terms of the current investment management agreement, including the scope of services provided under the agreement. In this regard, the Board concluded that the quality and range of services provided by DIMA have benefited and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The costs of the services to, and profits realized by, DIMA and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund. The Board reviewed information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by DIMA during 2006 from providing investment management services to the Fund (and, separately, to the entire DWS Scudder fund complex), and reviewed with DIMA the cost allocation methodology used to determine DIMA's profitability. In analyzing DIMA's costs and profits, the Board also reviewed the fees paid to and services provided by DIMA and its affiliates with respect to administrative services, transfer agent services, shareholder servicing and distribution (including fees paid pursuant to 12b-1 plans), as well as information regarding other possible benefits derived by DIMA and its affiliates as a result of DIMA's relationship with the Fund. As part of this review, the Board considered information provided by an independent accounting firm engaged to review DIMA's cost allocation methodology and calculations. The Board concluded that the Fund's investment management fee schedule represented reasonable compensation in light of the costs incurred by DIMA and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. 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), DIMA and its affiliates' overall profitability with respect to the DWS Scudder fund complex (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by DIMA and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of many comparable firms for which such data was available.

The practices of DIMA regarding the selection and compensation of brokers and dealers executing portfolio transactions for the Fund. The Board considered that a portion of the Fund's brokerage may be allocated to affiliates of DIMA, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules. The Board also considered that, subject to ongoing review by the Board, a limited portion of the Fund's brokerage may be allocated to brokers who acquire (and provide to DIMA and its affiliates) research services from third parties that are generally useful to DIMA and its affiliates in managing client portfolios. The Board indicated that it would continue to monitor the allocation of the Fund's brokerage to ensure that the principle of "best price and execution" remains paramount in the portfolio trading process.

DIMA's commitment to and record of compliance, including its written compliance policies and procedures. In this regard, the Board considered DIMA's commitment to indemnify the Fund against any costs and liabilities related to lawsuits or regulatory actions arising from allegations regarding market timing, revenue sharing, fund valuation or other subjects arising from or relating to pending regulatory inquiries. The Board also considered the significant attention and resources dedicated by DIMA to documenting and enhancing its compliance processes in recent years. The Board noted in particular (i) the experience and seniority of DIMA's chief compliance officer; (ii) the large number of compliance personnel who report to DIMA's chief compliance officer; and (iii) the substantial commitment of resources by DIMA and its affiliates to compliance matters.

Deutsche Bank's commitment to its US mutual fund business. The Board considered recent and ongoing efforts by Deutsche Bank to restructure its US mutual fund business to improve efficiency and competitiveness and to reduce compliance and operational risk. The Board considered assurances received from Deutsche Bank that it would commit the resources necessary to maintain high-quality services to the Fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered Deutsche Bank's strategic plans for its US mutual fund business, the potential benefits to Fund shareholders and Deutsche Bank's management of one of Europe's most successful fund groups.

Based on all of the foregoing, the Board determined to continue the Fund's current investment management agreement, and concluded that the continuation of such agreement was in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.

In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor identified above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, many of which were in executive session with only the Independent Directors and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Directors may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the continuation of the current agreement.

Summary of Management Fee Evaluation by Independent Fee Consultant

October 26, 2007

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

Qualifications

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

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

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

Evaluation of Fees for each DWS Scudder Fund

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

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

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

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

Fees and Expenses Compared with Other Funds

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

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

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

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

DeAM's Fees for Similar Services to Others

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

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

Costs and Profit Margins

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

Economies of Scale

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

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

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

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

Quality of Service — Performance

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

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

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

Complex-Level Considerations

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

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

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

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

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

Findings

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

ITEM 2.	CODE OF ETHICS
	As of the end of the period, October 31, 2007, DWS Latin America Equity Fund has a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, that applies to its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. There have been no amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report that would require disclosure under Item 2. A copy of the code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.
ITEM 3.	AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
	The Funds’ audit committee is comprised solely of trustees who are “independent” (as such term has been defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in regulations implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the “Regulations”)). The Funds’ Board of Trustees has determined that there are several “audit committee financial experts” serving on the Funds’ audit committee. The Board has determined that Keith R Fox, the chair of the Funds’ audit committee, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” (as such term has been defined by the Regulations) based on its review of Mr. Fox’s pertinent experience and education. The SEC has stated that the designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this Item 3 of Form N-CSR does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification.

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
         Compliance Officer.

- --------

(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.


                                       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.
