This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. To obtain a summary prospectus, if available, or 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.

An investment in this fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or by any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price. You should not rely on or expect the Advisor to enter into support agreements or take other actions to maintain the fund's $1.00 share price. The credit quality of the fund's holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the fund's share price. The fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures and/or illiquid markets. The actions of a few large investors in one class of shares of the fund may have a significant adverse effect on the share prices of all classes of shares of the fund. See the prospectus for specific details regarding the fund's risk profile.
DWS Investments is part of the Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management division of Deutsche Bank AG.

Dear Investor:
The first half of 2013 brought welcome evidence that the U.S. economic recovery is gaining traction. Consumer confidence reached its highest level since 2007, U.S. stock market indexes marked a series of record highs and the housing market continues its recovery.
According to Asoka Wohrmann, co-chief investment officer for Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management, "The revival of the employment market, good asset performance with rising home and share prices, and an expansive monetary policy gives further growth momentum to the real economy. Accordingly, U.S. economic growth could accelerate in the coming months."
Nevertheless, concerns about the European and emerging-market economies persist. Closer to home, the outlook remains guarded when it comes to the eventual end of government intervention in the bond market and the full effects of reduced government spending on employment.
Where does this leave you? That depends on a variety of factors, including your overall portfolio allocation. Given the uncertainties in today's bond and stock markets, it may be time for a thoughtful evaluation of your strategy.
Talk with a trusted advisor to determine whether any adjustments may be in order, given your specific objectives and risk tolerance. We believe even the most sophisticated investor can benefit from the assistance of a trusted, objective financial professional.
Remember that Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management gives you access to Deutsche Bank's global network of economists, analysts and investment professionals. Insights are always at your fingertips at dws-investments.com.

Portfolio Management Review (Unaudited)
Market Overview
All performance information below is historical and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal fluctuate, so your shares may be worth more or less when redeemed. Current performance may differ from performance data shown. Please visit www.dws-investments.com for the fund's most recent month-end performance. The 7-day current yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a 7-day period expressed as an annual percentage rate of the fund's shares outstanding. Yields fluctuate and are not guaranteed.
Investment Strategy The fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. |
In the last months of 2012, market turbulence spurred by uncertainty over European financial conditions was gradually calmed by the actions of the European Central Bank (ECB), as the ECB lowered its interest rate for bank reserves and the Bank's president stated that it would do "whatever it takes" to preserve the euro. In December 2012, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) altered its guidance regarding rate levels, stating that it would maintain short-term interest rates near zero until U.S. unemployment dropped below 6.5%, and as long as inflation levels did not exceed 2.5%. In the first quarter of 2013, the European situation remained relatively stable until a banking crisis in Cyprus reached the boiling point; the crisis was resolved after it was agreed that large uninsured depositors in Cyprus' banks would suffer substantial losses. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy was boosted by higher housing prices and steady, if unspectacular, employment gains. In late May 2013, equity and longer-term fixed-income investors were temporarily rattled by hints from the Fed that it could begin to taper its monthly asset purchases toward the end of this year. In the money market area, we have seen a continued supply/demand imbalance, including a significant reduction in the supply of Treasury money market securities due to the shrinking federal budget deficit.

Positive Contributors to Fund Performance
During the past 12 months ended July 31, 2013, we continued to hold a large percentage of portfolio assets in short-maturity instruments for yield, high-quality and liquidity purposes. We also maintained a conservative average maturity, with fund assets broadly diversified among a number of sectors, including banks, asset-backed commercial paper, corporate issues, and sovereign debt. In addition, we focused on favorable geographical areas for money market investment, such as Canada, Australia, Scandinavia, the United States and Japan.
Negative Contributors to Fund Performance
The types of securities invested in tended to have lower yields than issues carrying more risk. We preferred to be cautious during a time of market uncertainty. In the end this cost the fund some yield, but we believe that this represented a prudent approach to preserving principal.
Fund Performance (as of July 31, 2013)

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

Outlook and Positioning
We look for steady but somewhat limited growth for the U.S. economy over the remainder of this year. Within the money markets, we expect the current balance of tight supply and heavy demand to persist for the foreseeable future, and to put downward pressure on money market rates.
"In the money market area, we have seen a continued supply/demand imbalance, including a significant reduction in the supply of Treasury money market securities due to the shrinking federal budget deficit." |
We continue our insistence on the highest credit quality within the fund. We also plan to maintain our conservative investment strategies and standards. We continue to apply a careful approach to investing on behalf of the fund and to seek a competitive yield for our shareholders.
Portfolio Management Team
A group of investment professionals is responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund. These investment professionals have a broad range of experience managing money market funds.
The views expressed reflect those of the portfolio management team only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The management team's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.
Credit quality measures a bond issuer's ability to repay interest and principal in a timely manner. Rating agencies assign letter designations, such as AAA, AA and so forth. The lower the rating, the higher the probability of default. Credit quality does not remove market risk and is subject to change.
Asset-backed securities are secured by a specified pool of underlying assets (such as a loan or accounts receivable originated by banks).
Commercial paper is an unsecured debt instrument that is issued by a corporation, typically for the purpose of financing inventories or other short-term liabilities.
Sovereign debt is debt that is issued by a national government.

LIQ: Liquidity Facility
Interest Only: Interest Only (IO) bonds represent the "interest only" portion of payments on a pool of underlying mortgages or mortgage-backed securities. IO securities are subject to prepayment risk of the pool of underlying mortgages.
Principal Only: Principal Only (PO) bonds represent the "principal only" portion of payments on a pool of underlying mortgages or mortgage-backed securities.
Fair Value Measurements
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Securities held by the Fund are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of July 31, 2013 in valuing the Fund's investments. For information on the Fund's policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note A in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
DWS Money Market Prime Series (the "Fund") is a diversified series of DWS Money Funds (the "Trust"), 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 Massachusetts business trust.
The Fund offers multiple classes of shares which provide investors with different purchase options: DWS Cash Investment Trust Class A shares are offered to investors without an initial sales charge but are subject to the applicable sales charge if exchanged into Class A shares of another DWS Investments Fund. DWS Cash Investment Trust Class B shares of the Fund are closed to new purchases, except exchanges or the reinvestment of dividends or other distributions. DWS Cash Investment Trust Class B shares were offered to investors without an initial sales charge and are subject to higher ongoing expenses than DWS Cash Investment Trust Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions. DWS Cash Investment Trust Class B shares automatically convert to DWS Cash Investment Trust Class A shares six years after issuance. DWS Cash Investment Trust Class C shares are offered to investors without an initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than DWS Cash Investment Trust Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions within one year of purchase. DWS Cash Investment Trust Class C shares do not automatically convert into another class. DWS Money Market Fund and DWS Cash Investment Trust Class S shares are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges. DWS Cash Investment Trust Class S shares are only available to a limited group of investors.
Investment income, realized 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 their financial statements.
Security Valuation. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The Fund values all securities utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/ amortization rate to maturity of any discount or premium. Securities held by the Fund are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.
Disclosure about the classification of fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund's Investment Portfolio.
Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, through its custodian or a sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the market value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The custodian or another designated sub-custodian bank holds the collateral in a separate account until the agreement matures. If the value of the securities falls below the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest, the financial institution deposits additional collateral by the following business day. If the financial institution either fails to deposit the required additional collateral or fails to repurchase the securities as agreed, the Fund has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Fund's claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
As of July 31, 2013, the Fund had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $266,571,220. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at period end. The detail of the related collateral is included in the footnotes following the Fund's Investment Portfolio.
Federal Income 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.
The Fund has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of July 31, 2013 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly. The Fund may take into account capital gains and losses in its daily dividend declarations. The Fund may also make additional distributions for tax purposes if necessary.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book-to-tax differences for the Fund.
At July 31, 2013, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income* | | $ | 23,269 | |
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund is summarized as follows:
| | Years Ended July 31, | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Distributions from ordinary income* | | $ | 170,275 | | | $ | 195,578 | |
* For tax purposes, short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.
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 trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized for both tax and financial reporting purposes.
B. 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 their investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the 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 $215 million of the Fund's average daily net assets | | | .400 | % |
Next $335 million of such net assets | | | .275 | % |

("DIDI"), an affiliate of the Advisor, receives a fee ("Distribution Fee") of 0.75% of average daily net assets of each of DWS Cash Investment Trust Class B and DWS Cash Investment Trust Class C shares. In accordance with the Fund's Underwriting and Distribution Services Agreement, DIDI enters into related selling group agreements with various firms at various rates for sales of DWS Cash Investment Trust Class B and DWS Cash Investment Trust Class C shares.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. DIDI receives any contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") from DWS Cash Investment Trust Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of purchase and DWS Cash Investment Trust 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 DWS Cash Investment Trust Class B and 1% for DWS Cash Investment Trust Class C, of the value of the shares redeemed. For the year ended July 31, 2013, the CDSC for DWS Cash Investment Trust Class B and DWS Cash Investment Trust Class C shares aggregated $5,686 and $2,243, respectively.

C. Line of Credit
The Fund and other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $375 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. The Fund may borrow 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 on net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25 percent plus if LIBOR exceeds the Federal Funds Rate the amount of such excess. The Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. The Fund had no outstanding loans at July 31, 2013.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of DWS Money Funds and Shareholders of DWS Money Market Prime Series:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, of DWS Money Market Prime Series (a series of DWS Money Funds) (the "Fund"), as of July 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DWS Money Market Prime Series at July 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
As an investor, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include 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. In the most recent six-month period, the Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. 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 (February 1, 2013 to July 31, 2013).
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. Subject to certain exceptions, an account maintenance fee of $20.00 assessed once per calendar year for DWS Cash Investment Trust Class A, DWS Cash Investment Trust Class B, DWS Cash Investment Trust Class C and DWS Cash Investment Trust Class S shares may apply for accounts with balances less than $10,000. This fee is not included in these tables. If it was, the estimate of expenses paid for these shares during the period would be higher, and account value during the period would be lower, by this amount.

Money Market Fund Reform
In June 2013, the SEC proposed money market fund reform intended to address perceived systemic risks associated with money market funds and to improve transparency for money market fund investors. The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), a board of U.S. regulators established by the Dodd-Frank Act, had also previously proposed similar recommendations for money market fund reform. If one or more of the SEC or FSOC proposals for money market fund reform were to be adopted in the future, such regulatory action may affect the fund's operations and/or return potential.
Summary of Management Fee Evaluation by Independent Fee Consultant
September 17, 2012
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 Funds (formerly 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 2012, including my qualifications, the evaluation process for each of the DWS Funds, consideration of certain complex-level factors, and my conclusions. I served in substantially the same capacity in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Qualifications
For more than 35 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 ten 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 and have served in various leadership and financial oversight capacities with non-profit organizations.
Evaluation of Fees for each DWS Fund
My work focused primarily on evaluating, fund-by-fund, the fees charged to each of the 103 mutual fund portfolios in the DWS 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 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 Fund. These similar products included the other DWS 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 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 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 "fallout" 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 Fund expenses had varied over the years, by asset class and in the context of trends in asset levels.
I considered how aggregated DWS Fund performance measures relative to appropriate peers had varied by asset class and over time.
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 Funds are reasonable.
