                             DWS Capital Growth Fund

The following information replaces information in "The Fund's Main Investment
Strategy" section of the fund's prospectuses:

The fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital.

The fund normally invests at least 65% of total assets in equities, mainly
common stocks of US companies. Although the fund can invest in companies of any
size, it generally focuses on established companies that are similar in size to
the companies in the Standard & Poor's 500(R) Composite Stock Price Index (the
"S&P 500 Index") or the Russell 1000 Growth Index (as of December 31, 2008, the
S&P 500 Index and the Russell 1000(R) Growth Index had median market
capitalizations of $6.4 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively). Although the
fund may invest in companies of any size, the fund intends to invest primarily
in companies whose market capitalizations fall within the normal range of these
indexes. The fund may also invest in other types of equity securities such as
preferred stocks or convertible securities.

In choosing stocks, the portfolio managers begin by utilizing a proprietary
quantitative model to rank stocks based on a number of factors including
valuation and profitability. The portfolio managers also apply fundamental
techniques to identify companies that display above-average earnings growth
compared to other companies and that have strong product lines, effective
management and leadership positions within core markets. The factors considered
and models used by the portfolio managers may change over time.

The portfolio managers will normally sell a stock when they believe its
potential risks have increased, its price is unlikely to go higher, its
fundamental factors have changed, other investments offer better opportunities
or in the course of adjusting the fund's emphasis on a given industry.

Other Investments. The fund is permitted, but not required, to use various types
of derivatives (contracts whose value is based on, for example, indices,
currencies or securities). Derivatives may be used for hedging and for risk
management or for non-hedging purposes to seek to enhance potential gains. The
fund may use derivatives in circumstances where portfolio management believes
they offer an economical means of gaining exposure to a particular asset class
or to keep cash on hand to meet shareholder redemptions or other needs while
maintaining exposure to the market.

In particular, the fund may use futures and options and write covered call
options.

Securities Lending. The fund may lend its investment securities in an amount up
to 33 1/3% of its total assets to approved institutional borrowers who need to
borrow securities in order to complete certain transactions.
