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 each fund's objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about each fund. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
An investment in these funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the funds. Please read each Fund's prospectus for specific details regarding its risk profile.

Information About Each Fund's Expenses
As an investor of each Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management 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 each 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, each Fund limited these expenses; had they 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 period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2006).
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 each Fund using each 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 each 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. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
A. Significant Accounting Policies
Cash Management Fund Investment and Treasury Money Fund Investment (each a ``Fund'' and collectively, the ``Funds'') are each a diversified series of DWS Advisor Funds (the ``Trust''), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the ``1940 Act''), as an open-end, investment management company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds are two of several funds the Trust offers to investors.
The Funds seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing all of their investable assets in the Cash Management Portfolio and the Treasury Money Portfolio, respectively (each a ``Portfolio'' and collectively, the ``Portfolios''), each an open-end investment management company registered under the 1940 Act and advised by Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. (``DeAM, Inc.'' or the ``Advisor''). Details concerning each Portfolio's investment objectives and policies and the risk factors associated with each Portfolio's investments are described in their respective Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information.
At June 30, 2006, the Cash Management Fund Investment owned approximately 1% of the Cash Management Portfolio and the Treasury Money Fund Investment owned approximately 20% of the Treasury Money Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolios, including the Investment Portfolios, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Funds' financial statements.
Each 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. Each Fund determines the valuation of its investment in its respective Portfolio by multiplying its proportionate ownership of the Portfolio by the total value of the Portfolio's net assets.
Each Portfolio's policies for determining the value of its net assets are discussed in each Portfolio's Financial Statements, which accompany this report.
Federal Income Taxes. Each 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 and tax-exempt income to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 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. Management will begin to evaluate 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.
At December 31, 2005, Treasury Money Fund Investment had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $19,000, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or December 31, 2012 ($10,000) and December 31, 2013 ($9,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.
In addition, from November 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, Treasury Money Fund Investment incurred approximately $50 of net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulators, the Fund intends to elect to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Distribution of Income. The net investment income of each Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly.
Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book to tax differences for the Funds.
The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Other. Each Fund receives a daily allocation of the respective Portfolio's net investment income and net realized gains and losses in proportion to its investment in the respective Portfolio. Expenses directly attributed to a fund are charged to that fund, while expenses that are attributed to the Trust are allocated among the Funds in the Trust based on their respective net assets.
B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DeAM, Inc." or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, is the Advisor for each of the Portfolios.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Investment Company Capital Corp. ("ICCC" or the "Administrator"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, was the Administrator for each Fund. Each Fund paid the Administrator an annual fee (``Administrative service fee'') based on its average daily net assets, which was calculated daily and payable monthly at the annual rate of 0.55%.
For the period January 1, 2006 through April 30, 2007, the Advisor and Administrator have contractually agreed to waive a portion of their fees and/or reimburse expenses of each Fund to the extent necessary to maintain total operating expenses of the Cash Management Fund Investment and Treasury Money Fund Investment each at 0.75% of their average daily net assets, including expenses allocated from the Cash Management Portfolio and the Treasury Money Portfolio, respectively (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest and organizational and offering expenses).
Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Administrator waived a portion of its Administrative service fee as follows:
| Total Aggregated | Waived | Annualized Effective Rate |
Cash Management Fund Investment | $ 233,000 | $ 37,315 | .46% |
Treasury Money Fund Investment | $ 496,634 | $ 68,039 | .47% |
Effective July 1, 2006 and August 1, 2006, for the Treasury Money Fund Investment and Cash Management Fund Investment, respectively, the Administrator agreement with ICCC was terminated and the Funds entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas, Inc. ("DeIM"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, pursuant to which DeIM provides most administrative services to the Funds. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Funds pay DeIM an annual fee ("Administration fee") of 0.10% of the Funds' average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.
Typesetting and Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DeIM,, DeIM is compensated for providing typesetting and certain regulatory filing services to the Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the amounts charged to the Funds by DeIM included in reports to shareholders at June 30, 2006 are as follows:
| Total Aggregated | Unpaid at June 30, 2006 |
Cash Management Fund Investment | $ 5,880 | $ 3,600 |
Treasury Money Fund Investment | $ 5,880 | $ 3,600 |
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. As compensation for his or her services, each Independent Trustee 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 Chairman of the Board and the Chairman 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.
C. Concentration of Ownership
From time to time each Fund may have a concentration of several shareholders holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on each Fund.
At June 30, 2006, there was one shareholder who held approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of Treasury Money Fund Investment.
D. Regulatory Matters and Litigation
Market Timing Related Regulatory and Litigation Matters. Since at least July 2003, federal, state and industry regulators have been conducting ongoing inquiries and investigations ("inquiries") into the mutual fund industry, and have requested information from numerous mutual fund companies, including DWS Scudder. The DWS funds' advisors have been cooperating in connection with these inquiries and are in discussions with the regulators concerning proposed settlements. Publicity about mutual fund practices arising from these industry-wide inquiries serves as the general basis of a number of private lawsuits against the DWS funds. These lawsuits, which previously have been reported in the press, involve purported class action and derivative lawsuits, making various allegations and naming as defendants various persons, including certain DWS funds, the funds' investment advisors and their affiliates, and certain individuals, including in some cases fund Trustees/Directors, officers, and other parties. Each DWS fund's investment advisor has agreed to indemnify the applicable DWS funds in connection with these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making allegations similar to these lawsuits regarding market timing, revenue sharing, fund valuation or other subjects arising from or related to the pending inquiries. It is not possible to determine with certainty what the outcome of these inquiries will be or what the effect, if any, would be on the funds or their advisors.
With respect to the lawsuits, based on currently available information, the funds' investment advisors believe the likelihood that the pending lawsuits will have a material adverse financial impact on a DWS fund is remote and such actions are not likely to materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the DWS funds.
With respect to the regulatory matters, Deutsche Asset Management ("DeAM") has advised the funds as follows:
DeAM expects to reach final agreements with regulators in 2006 regarding allegations of improper trading in the DWS funds. DeAM expects that it will reach settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Attorney General and the Illinois Secretary of State providing for payment of disgorgement, penalties, and investor education contributions totaling approximately $134 million. Approximately $127 million of this amount would be distributed to shareholders of the affected DWS funds in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by an independent distribution consultant. DeAM does not believe that any of the DWS funds will be named as respondents or defendants in any proceedings. The funds' investment advisors do not believe these amounts will have a material adverse financial impact on them or materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the DWS funds. The above-described amounts are not material to Deutsche Bank, and they have already been reserved.
Based on the settlement discussions thus far, DeAM believes that it will be able to reach a settlement with the regulators on a basis that is generally consistent with settlements reached by other advisors, taking into account the particular facts and circumstances of market timing at DeAM and at the legacy Scudder and Kemper organizations prior to their acquisition by DeAM in April 2002. Among the terms of the expected settled orders, DeAM would be subject to certain undertakings regarding the conduct of its business in the future, including maintaining existing management fee reductions for certain funds for a period of five years. DeAM expects that these settlements would resolve regulatory allegations that it violated certain provisions of federal and state securities laws (i) by entering into trading arrangements that permitted certain investors to engage in market timing in certain DWS funds and (ii) by failing more generally to take adequate measures to prevent market timing in the DWS funds, primarily during the 1999-2001 period. With respect to the trading arrangements, DeAM expects that the settlement documents will include allegations related to one legacy DeAM arrangement, as well as three legacy Scudder and six legacy Kemper arrangements. All of these trading arrangements originated in businesses that existed prior to the current DeAM organization, which came together in April 2002 as a result of the various mergers of the legacy Scudder, Kemper and Deutsche fund groups, and all of the arrangements were terminated prior to the start of the regulatory investigations that began in the summer of 2003. No current DeAM employee approved the trading arrangements.
There is no certainty that the final settlement documents will contain the foregoing terms and conditions. The independent Trustees/Directors of the DWS funds have carefully monitored these regulatory investigations with the assistance of independent legal counsel and independent economic consultants.
Other Regulatory Matters. DeAM is also engaged in settlement discussions with the Enforcement Staffs of the SEC and the NASD regarding DeAM's practices during 2001-2003 with respect to directing brokerage commissions for portfolio transactions by certain DWS funds to broker-dealers that sold shares in the DWS funds and provided enhanced marketing and distribution for shares in the DWS funds. In addition, DWS Scudder Distributors, Inc. is in settlement discussions with the Enforcement Staff of the NASD regarding DWS Scudder Distributors' payment of non-cash compensation to associated persons of NASD member firms, as well as DWS Scudder Distributors' procedures regarding non-cash compensation regarding entertainment provided to such associated persons.
E. Fund Merger
On June 26, 2006, the Board of Treasury Money Fund Investment approved, in principle, the merger of Treasury Money Fund Investment (the "Acquired Fund") into Investors Cash Trust: Treasury Portfolio.
Completion of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including final approval by each fund's Board and approval by shareholders of the Acquired Fund at the shareholder meeting expected to be held during the fourth quarter of 2006.
Other Information
Additional information announced by Deutsche Asset Management regarding the terms of the expected settlements referred to in the Market Timing Related Regulatory and Litigation Matters and Other Regulatory Matters in the Notes to Financial Statements will be made available at www.dws-scudder.com/regulatory_settlements, which will also disclose the terms of any final settlement agreements once they are announced.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
A. Significant Accounting Policies
Cash Management Portfolio and Treasury Money Portfolio (each a ``Portfolio,'' and collectively, the ``Portfolios'') are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the ``1940 Act''), as open-end, investment management companies organized as New York business trusts.
Each Portfolio'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 Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements.
Security Valuation. Each Portfolio's securities are valued 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 to maturity of any discount or premium.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Portfolio, through its custodian or 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 value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The 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 Portfolio has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Portfolio's claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
Federal Income Taxes. Each Portfolio is considered a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Therefore, no federal income tax provisions are necessary.
Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Portfolios may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Portfolios' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Portfolios 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. Distributions of income and capital gains from investment companies are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.
Each Portfolio makes a daily allocation of its net investment income and realized gains and losses from securities transactions to its investors in proportion to their investment in the Portfolio.
B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Deutsche Asset Management, Inc., (``DeAM, Inc.'' or the ``Advisor''), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, is the Advisor for each of the Portfolios. Under the Advisory Agreement, each Portfolio pays the Advisor an annual fee based on its average daily net assets which is calculated daily and payable monthly at the annual rate of 0.15%.
For the period from January 1, 2006 through May 31, 2006, the Advisor contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses of Cash Management Portfolio, to the extent necessary, to maintain total operating expenses at 0.18% of its average daily net assets (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest and organizational and offering expenses). The amount of the waiver and whether the Advisor and Administrator waive a portion of their fees may vary at any time without notice to shareholders.
In addition, for the period June 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006, the Advisor and Administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of their fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Cash Management Portfolio to the extent necessary to maintain total operating expenses of the Cash Management Portfolio at 0.179% of the average daily net assets (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest and organizational and offering expenses).
For the period January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006, the Advisor and Administrator contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of their fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Treasury Money Portfolio to the extent necessary to maintain total operating expenses of the Treasury Money Portfolio at 0.20% of the average daily net assets (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses).
Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, each Portfolio waived a portion of its Advisory fee as follows:
| Total Aggregated | Waived | Annualized Effective Rate |
Cash Management Portfolio | $ 6,532,390 | $ 1,196,919 | .12% |
Treasury Money Portfolio | $ 415,909 | $ 64,050 | .13% |
Prior to June 1, 2006, Investment Company Capital Corp. (``ICCC'' or the ``Administrator''), also an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, was each Portfolio's Administrator. Each Portfolio paid the Administrator an annual fee (``Administrative service fee'') based on its average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly at the annual rate of 0.05%. For the period January 1, 2006 through May 31, 2006, ICCC received an Administrative service fee of $1,813,410 and $115,879 for Cash Management Portfolio and Treasury Money Portfolio, respectively, of which $0 and $1,869 is unpaid, respectively.
Effective June 1, 2006, the Administrator agreement with ICCC was terminated and the Portfolios entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas, Inc. ("DeIM"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, pursuant to which DeIM provides most administrative services to each Portfolio. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, each Portfolio pays DeIM an annual fee ("Administration fee") of 0.03% of each Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the period June 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006, DeIM received an Administration fee of $218,427 and $13,654 for Cash management Portfolio and Treasury money portfolio, respectively, all of which is unpaid, respectively.
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. As compensation for his or her services, each Independent Trustee 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 Chairman of the Board and the Chairman 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.
C. Expense Reductions
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Advisor had agreed to reimburse Cash Management Portfolio and Treasury Money Portfolio $3,819 and $7,877, respectively, which represents a portion of the fee savings expected to be realized by the Advisor related to the outsourcing by the Advisor of certain administrative services to an unaffiliated service provider.
In addition, the Cash Management Portfolio and Treasury Money Portfolio have entered into an arrangement with their custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of each Portfolio's custodian expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, each Portfolio's custodian fees were reduced by $874 and $308, respectively, for custody credits earned.
D. Line of Credit
Each Portfolio and several other affiliated funds (the ``Participants'') share in a $750 million revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan 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 0.5 percent. Each Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 5 percent of its net assets under this agreement.
E. Regulatory Matters and Litigation
Market Timing Related Regulatory and Litigation Matters. Since at least July 2003, federal, state and industry regulators have been conducting ongoing inquiries and investigations ("inquiries") into the mutual fund industry, and have requested information from numerous mutual fund companies, including DWS Scudder. The DWS funds' advisors have been cooperating in connection with these inquiries and are in discussions with the regulators concerning proposed settlements. Publicity about mutual fund practices arising from these industry-wide inquiries serves as the general basis of a number of private lawsuits against the DWS funds. These lawsuits, which previously have been reported in the press, involve purported class action and derivative lawsuits, making various allegations and naming as defendants various persons, including certain DWS funds, the funds' investment advisors and their affiliates, and certain individuals, including in some cases fund Trustees/Directors, officers, and other parties. Each DWS fund's investment advisor has agreed to indemnify the applicable DWS funds in connection with these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making allegations similar to these lawsuits regarding market timing, revenue sharing, fund valuation or other subjects arising from or related to the pending inquiries. It is not possible to determine with certainty what the outcome of these inquiries will be or what the effect, if any, would be on the funds or their advisors.
With respect to the lawsuits, based on currently available information, the funds' investment advisors believe the likelihood that the pending lawsuits will have a material adverse financial impact on a DWS fund is remote and such actions are not likely to materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the DWS funds.
With respect to the regulatory matters, Deutsche Asset Management ("DeAM") has advised the funds as follows:
DeAM expects to reach final agreements with regulators in 2006 regarding allegations of improper trading in the DWS funds. DeAM expects that it will reach settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Attorney General and the Illinois Secretary of State providing for payment of disgorgement, penalties, and investor education contributions totaling approximately $134 million. Approximately $127 million of this amount would be distributed to shareholders of the affected DWS funds in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by an independent distribution consultant. DeAM does not believe that any of the DWS funds will be named as respondents or defendants in any proceedings. The funds' investment advisors do not believe these amounts will have a material adverse financial impact on them or materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the DWS funds. The above-described amounts are not material to Deutsche Bank, and they have already been reserved.
Based on the settlement discussions thus far, DeAM believes that it will be able to reach a settlement with the regulators on a basis that is generally consistent with settlements reached by other advisors, taking into account the particular facts and circumstances of market timing at DeAM and at the legacy Scudder and Kemper organizations prior to their acquisition by DeAM in April 2002. Among the terms of the expected settled orders, DeAM would be subject to certain undertakings regarding the conduct of its business in the future, including maintaining existing management fee reductions for certain funds for a period of five years. DeAM expects that these settlements would resolve regulatory allegations that it violated certain provisions of federal and state securities laws (i) by entering into trading arrangements that permitted certain investors to engage in market timing in certain DWS funds and (ii) by failing more generally to take adequate measures to prevent market timing in the DWS funds, primarily during the 1999-2001 period. With respect to the trading arrangements, DeAM expects that the settlement documents will include allegations related to one legacy DeAM arrangement, as well as three legacy Scudder and six legacy Kemper arrangements. All of these trading arrangements originated in businesses that existed prior to the current DeAM organization, which came together in April 2002 as a result of the various mergers of the legacy Scudder, Kemper and Deutsche fund groups, and all of the arrangements were terminated prior to the start of the regulatory investigations that began in the summer of 2003. No current DeAM employee approved the trading arrangements.
There is no certainty that the final settlement documents will contain the foregoing terms and conditions. The independent Trustees/Directors of the DWS funds have carefully monitored these regulatory investigations with the assistance of independent legal counsel and independent economic consultants.
Other Regulatory Matters. DeAM is also engaged in settlement discussions with the Enforcement Staffs of the SEC and the NASD regarding DeAM's practices during 2001-2003 with respect to directing brokerage commissions for portfolio transactions by certain DWS funds to broker-dealers that sold shares in the DWS funds and provided enhanced marketing and distribution for shares in the DWS funds. In addition, DWS Scudder Distributors, Inc. is in settlement discussions with the Enforcement Staff of the NASD regarding DWS Scudder Distributors' payment of non-cash compensation to associated persons of NASD member firms, as well as DWS Scudder Distributors' procedures regarding non-cash compensation regarding entertainment provided to such associated persons.
Other Information
Additional information announced by Deutsche Asset Management regarding the terms of the expected settlements referred to in the Market Timing Related Regulatory and Litigation Matters and Other Regulatory Matters in the Notes to Financial Statements will be made available at www.dws-scudder.com/regulatory_settlements, which will also disclose the terms of any final settlement agreements once they are announced.
