The following information replaces similar disclosure under the “Financial Intermediary Support Payments” section of each fund’s/portfolio’s Statement of Additional Information:

 

Financial Intermediary Support Payments (not applicable to Class R6 shares). The Advisor, the Distributor and their affiliates have undertaken to furnish certain additional information below regarding the level of payments made by them to selected affiliated and unaffiliated brokers, dealers, participating insurance companies or other financial intermediaries (financial advisors) in connection with the sale and/or distribution of fund shares or the retention and/or servicing of investors and fund shares (revenue sharing).

 

The Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates may pay additional compensation, out of their own assets and not as an additional charge to each fund, to financial advisors in connection with the sale and/or distribution of fund shares or the retention and/or servicing of fund investors and fund shares. Such revenue sharing payments are in addition to any distribution or service fees payable under any Rule 12b-1 or service plan of any fund, any recordkeeping/sub-transfer agency/networking fees payable by each fund (generally through the Distributor or an affiliate) and/or the Distributor or Advisor to certain financial advisors for performing such services and any sales charges, commissions, non-cash compensation arrangements expressly permitted under applicable rules of FINRA or other concessions described in the fee table or elsewhere in the prospectuses or the SAI as payable to all financial advisors. For example, the Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates may, using their legitimate profits, compensate financial advisors for providing each fund with “shelf space” or access to a third party platform or fund offering list, or other marketing programs including, without limitation, inclusion of each fund on preferred or recommended sales lists, mutual fund “supermarket” platforms and other formal sales programs; granting the Distributor access to the financial advisor’s sales force; granting the Distributor access to the financial advisor’s

conferences and meetings; assistance in training and educating the financial advisor’s personnel; and, obtaining other forms of marketing support. In addition, revenue sharing payments may consist of the Distributor’s and/or its affiliates’ payment or reimbursement of ticket charges that would otherwise be assessed by a financial advisor on an investor’s fund transactions. The level of revenue sharing payments made to financial advisors may be a fixed fee or based upon one or more of the following factors: gross sales, current assets and/or number of accounts of each fund attributable to the financial advisor, the particular fund or fund type or other measures as agreed to by the Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates and the financial advisors or any combination thereof. The amount of these payments is determined at the discretion of the Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates from time to time, may be substantial, and may be different for different financial advisors based on, for example, the nature of the services provided by the financial advisor.

 

The Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates currently make revenue sharing payments from their own assets in connection with the sale and/or distribution of Deutsche fund shares, or the retention and/or servicing of investors, to financial advisors in amounts that generally range from 0.01% up to 0.52% of assets of a fund serviced and maintained by the financial advisor, 0.05% to 0.25% of sales of a fund attributable to the financial advisor, a flat fee of up to $143,750, or any combination thereof. These amounts are annual figures typically paid on a quarterly basis and are subject to change at the discretion of the Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates. Receipt of, or the prospect of receiving, this additional compensation, may influence your financial advisor’s recommendation of a fund or of any particular share class of a fund. You should review your financial advisor’s compensation disclosure and/or talk to your financial advisor to obtain more information on how this compensation may have influenced your financial advisor’s recommendation of a fund.

 

Other Payments to Financial Intermediaries. In addition to the above-described payments, the Distributor may, using its legitimate profits, pay fees to a financial intermediary who sells shares of the funds for other products or services offered through the financial intermediary that are unrelated to the sale or distribution of the funds’ shares, but which may be helpful to the Distributor in carrying out its distribution responsibilities. Such products or services may include access to various kinds of analytical data. Such payments may be in the form of licensing fees.

 

The following paragraph is added for all funds except Deutsche Variable NAV Money Fund: The Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates may also make such revenue sharing payments to financial advisors under the terms discussed above in connection with the distribution of both Deutsche funds and non-Deutsche funds by financial advisors to retirement plans that obtain recordkeeping services from ADP, Inc. or to 403(b) plans that obtain recordkeeping services from Ascensus, Inc. on the DWS-branded retirement plan platform (the Platform). The level of revenue sharing payments is based upon sales of both the Deutsche funds and the non-Deutsche funds by the financial advisor on the Platform or current assets of both the Deutsche funds and the non-Deutsche funds serviced and maintained by the financial advisor on the Platform.

 

As of the date hereof, each fund has been advised that the Advisor, the Distributor and their affiliates expect that the firms listed in Part II —Appendix II-E will receive revenue sharing payments at different points during the coming year as described above.

 

The following information replaces similar disclosure in “APPENDIX II-E - FIRMS WITH WHICH DWS HAS REVENUE SHARING ARRANGEMENTS” of each fund’s/portfolio’s Statement of Additional Information:

 

Any additions, modifications or deletions to the list of financial advisors identified below that have occurred since March 31, 2018 are not reflected. You can ask your financial advisor if it receives revenue sharing payments from the Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates.
