EXAMPLE This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may mean higher taxes if you are investing in a taxable account. These costs are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the expense example, and can affect the fund's performance. Portfolio turnover rate for fiscal year 2014: 25%. 1 PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY MAIN INVESTMENTS. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of assets, determined at the time of purchase, in the stocks and other securities with equity characteristics of non-US companies. The fund typically achieves its equity exposure to non-US equity companies through investing in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), but it is not limited to making investments in ADRs. The fund may invest up to 50% of its assets in emerging markets securities. The fund's equity investments are mainly common stocks, but may also include other types of equities such as preferred stocks or convertible securities. The fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in cash equivalents, US investment-grade fixed-income securities, and US stocks and other equities. MANAGEMENT PROCESS. Portfolio management employs a value strategy and looks for companies it believes are undervalued. These are typically companies that portfolio management believes have been historically sound but are temporarily out of favor. Portfolio management uses a variety of quantitative screens to compare a company's stock price to earnings, book value, cash flow and dividend yield, and analyzes individual companies to identify those that portfolio management believes are financially sound and appear to have strong potential for long-term growth. Portfolio management compares its valuations on an absolute basis as well as within their respective industries. To further narrow the universe, portfolio management analyzes factors such as price momentum, earnings estimate revisions and fundamental changes. After narrowing the universe through a combination of qualitative and fundamental research, portfolio management evaluates and selects the 45 to 60 stocks typically held by the fund. Portfolio management will normally sell a security when it believes that the security's valuation has risen above the market or exceeds that of its industry average, or when portfolio management believes the fundamental factors have deteriorated or other investments offer better opportunities. SECURITIES LENDING. The fund may lend securities (up to one-third of total assets) to approved institutions. MAIN RISKS There are several risk factors that could hurt the fund's performance, cause you to lose money or cause the fund's performance to trail that of other investments. The fund may not achieve its investment objective, and is not intended to be a complete investment program. An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISK. The fund faces the risks inherent in foreign investing. Adverse political, economic or social developments could undermine the value of the fund's investments or prevent the fund from realizing the full value of its investments. Financial reporting standards for companies based in foreign markets differ from those in the US. Additionally, foreign securities markets generally are smaller and less liquid than US markets. To the extent that the fund invests in non-US dollar denominated foreign securities, changes in currency exchange rates may affect the US dollar value of foreign securities or the income or gain received on these securities. EMERGING MARKETS RISK. Foreign investment risks are greater in emerging markets than in developed markets. Investments in emerging markets are often considered speculative. STOCK MARKET RISK. When stock prices fall, you should expect the value of your investment to fall as well. Stock prices can be hurt by poor management on the part of the stock's issuer, shrinking product demand and other business risks. These may affect single companies as well as groups of companies. In addition, movements in financial markets may adversely affect a stock's price, regardless of how well the company performs. To the extent that the fund invests in a particular geographic region or market sector, performance will be affected by that region's or sector's general performance. SECURITY SELECTION RISK. The securities in the fund's portfolio may decline in value. Portfolio management could be wrong in its analysis of industries, companies, economic trends, the relative attractiveness of different securities or other matters. VALUE INVESTING RISK. As a category, value stocks may underperform growth stocks (and the stock market as a whole) over any period of time. In addition, value stocks selected for investment by portfolio management may not perform as anticipated. LIQUIDITY RISK. In certain situations, it may be difficult or impossible to sell an investment in an orderly fashion at an acceptable price. PRICING RISK. If market conditions make it difficult to value some investments, the fund may value these investments using more subjective methods, such as fair value pricing. In such cases, the value determined for an investment could be different than the value realized upon such investment's sale. As a result, you could pay more than the market value when buying fund shares or receive less than the market value when selling fund shares. SECURITIES LENDING RISK. Any decline in the value of a portfolio security that occurs while the security is out on loan is borne by the fund and will adversely affect performance. Also, there may be delays in recovery of securities loaned or even a loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially while holding the security. COUNTERPARTY RISK. A financial institution or other counterparty with whom the fund does business, or that underwrites, distributes or guarantees any investments or contracts that the fund owns or is otherwise exposed to, 2 Deutsche International Value Fund SUMMARY PROSPECTUS December 1, 2014 may decline in financial health and become unable to honor its commitments. This could cause losses for the fund or could delay the return or delivery of collateral or other assets to the fund.
