In the following interview, Cash Management Fund Investment and Treasury Money Fund Investment Portfolio Managers Paul Hunter, Darlene M. Rasel and Lee Rodon discuss the market environment and the portfolio management team's approach to managing during the most recent fiscal year.
Q: Will you discuss the market environment for the funds during the most recent fiscal year?
A: During 2006, US economic growth remained on track, despite geopolitical uncertainty, wide swings in energy prices and a slowdown in the residential real estate market. First quarter 2006 gross domestic product (GDP) was robust, but growth gradually slowed. In the second and third quarters of the year, GDP came in at 2.6% and 2.0%, respectively. The US Federal Reserve Board's (the Fed's) policy of raising short-term interest rates by one-quarter percentage point at each Fed meeting from June 2004 through June 2006 seemed — at least to some observers — to be bringing the economy in for a "perfect landing" (i.e., slower growth with no resurgence in inflation.)
Beginning at its August 2006 meeting through the end of the year, the Fed "paused" from further short-term rate hikes, believing that the rate increases already in place would prevent the economy from "overheating." At the close of the 12-month period ended December 31, the federal funds rate — the overnight rate charged by banks when they borrow money from each other, which guides other interest rates — stood at 5.25%. By late December, the Fed seemed at odds with market watchers: Chairman Bernanke and the Fed governors continually stated their concern about inflation — which remains above the Fed's target range — and said that they will consider further rate hikes if inflationary pressures increase. Investors seemed more concerned about the possibility of a sharp slowdown in the economy related to the slumping housing market. Lastly, though oil prices peaked at close to $80 per barrel in August, by the end of the year they had retreated to the mid-$50 range and became a less critical factor for market watchers, at least in the short term.
At the end of December 2006, the one-year London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), an industry standard for measuring one-year taxable money market rates, stood at 5.32%, compared with 4.83% 12 months earlier.1
1 The LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate, is the most widely used benchmark or reference rate for short-term interest rates. LIBOR is the rate of interest at which banks borrow funds from other banks, in large volume, in the international market.Q: How did the funds perform over their most recent fiscal year?
A: We were able to maintain a competitive yield for the funds. (All performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Yields fluctuate and are not guaranteed.)
Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Q: In light of market conditions during the period, what has been the strategy for Cash Management Fund Investment?
A: Up until the Fed paused its rate increases in August, our strategy was to keep the fund's average maturity very short, in order to maintain portfolio flexibility given the Fed's dependence on economic data from month to month. Once it became apparent to us that the Fed would most likely remain "on hold" for an extended period, we lengthened maturity by purchasing three- to six-month issues. For the 12-month period, we maintained a significant allocation in floating-rate securities, which benefited performance. The interest rate of floating-rate securities adjusts periodically based on indices (such as the LIBOR) or the fed funds rate. Because the interest rates of these instruments adjust as market conditions change, they provide flexibility in an uncertain interest rate environment.
Q: What has been the strategy for Treasury Money Fund Investment?
A: During the fund's most recent fiscal year, the Treasury yield curve was relatively flat, with yields of six-month to one-year issues remaining at relatively depressed levels over much of the period.2 Because we would not be rewarded with higher yields by extending maturity, our principal strategy was to buy repurchase agreements with maturities of three months or less, and from time to time to extend maturity opportunistically by purchasing six-month Treasury bills for increased yield and diversification.3
2 Yield curve — a graph with a left-to-right line that shows how high or low yields are, from the shortest to the longest maturities. Typically the line rises from left to right as investors who are willing to tie up their money for a longer period of time are rewarded with higher yields.3 Repurchase Agreements (Repos) — an agreement between a seller and a buyer, usually of government securities, where the seller agrees to repurchase the securities at a given price and usually at a stated time. Repos are widely used money market instruments that serve as an interest bearing, short-term ``parking place'' for large sums of money.Q: What detracted from performance during the period?
A: In the rising rate environment that we experienced over the first half of 2006, it was difficult to purchase maturities further out than the date of the next Fed meeting, when rates might once again be raised. We preferred to be cautious, which in the end cost our money market funds some yield but was a prudent approach in preserving principal.
Q: Will you describe your investment philosophy?
A: We continue our insistence on the highest credit quality within the funds. We also plan to maintain our conservative investment strategies and standards. We continue to apply a careful approach to investing on behalf of the funds and to seek competitive yield for our shareholders.

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 six-month period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2006 to December 31, 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
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, management investment 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. (``DAMI'' 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 December 31, 2006, the Cash Management Fund Investment owned approximately 1% of the Cash Management Portfolio and the Treasury Money Fund Investment owned approximately 16% 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.
At December 31, 2006, Cash Management Fund Investment had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $2,900, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or December 31, 2014, the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.
In addition, from November 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the Fund incurred approximately $50 of net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, the Fund intends to elect to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
At December 31, 2006, Treasury Money Fund Investment had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $24,419, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or December 31, 2012 ($10,253), December 31, 2013 ($8,728), and December 31, 2014 ($5,438), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (the "Interpretation"). The Interpretation establishes for each Fund a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether each Fund is taxable in certain jurisdictions), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. On December 22, 2006, the SEC indicated that they would not object if a Fund implements FIN 48 in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has begun to evaluate the application of the Interpretation to each Fund and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on each Fund's financial statements.
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.
At December 31, 2006, the Funds' components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| Cash Management Fund Investment | Treasury Money Fund Investment |
Undistributed ordinary income*
| $ 17,533 | $ 402 |
In addition, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Funds is summarized as follows:
| Years Ended December 31, |
| 2006 | 2005 |
Cash Management Fund Investment Distributions from ordinary income*
| $ 5,265,498 | $ 2,581,745 |
Distributions from long-term capital gains
| — | 26 |
Treasury Money Fund Investment Distributions from ordinary income*
| 6,379,861 | 3,558,873 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.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. ("DAMI" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, is the Advisor for each of the Portfolios. Effective January 1, 2007, DAMI merged with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG and the Board of each Fund approved a new investment management agreement between each Fund and DIMA. The new investment management agreement is identical in substance to the current investment management agreement for each Fund, except for the named investment advisor.
For the period from January 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007, DIMA and the 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, proxy/shareholder meeting costs, taxes, brokerage, interest and organizational and offering expenses).
Prior to July 1, 2006 and August 1, 2006, for the Treasury Money Fund Investment and Cash Management Fund Investment, respectively, 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%.
Accordingly, for the period from January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006, for the Treasury Money Fund Investment and the period from January 1, 2006 through July 31, 2006 for the Cash Management Fund Investment, the Administrator waived a portion of its Administrative service fee as follows:
| Total Aggregated | Waived | Annualized Effective Rate |
Cash Management Fund Investment | $ 351,241 | $ 39,172 | .49% |
Treasury Money Fund Investment | $ 496,634 | $ 50,839 | .49% |
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 DIMA, pursuant to which DIMA provides most administrative services to the Funds. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Funds pay DIMA an annual fee ("Administration fee") of 0.10% of the Funds' average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.
For the period from July 1, 2006 and August 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, for the Treasury Money Fund Investment and Cash Management Fund Investment, respectively, DIMA received an Administration fee as follows:
| Total Aggregated | Unpaid at December 31, 2006 | Annualized Effective Rate |
Cash Management Fund Investment | $ 57,121 | $ 7,713 | .10% |
Treasury Money Fund Investment | $ 63,540 | $ 10,159 | .10% |
Service Provider Fees. DWS Scudder Investments Service Company ("DWS-SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DWS-SISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), DWS-SISC has delegated certain transfer agent and dividend paying agent functions to DST. DWS-SISC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Fund. Effective October 1, 2006, under the amended transfer agent agreement, the amounts charged to each Fund by DWS-SISC was as follows:
| Total Aggregated | Waived | Unpaid at December 31, 2006 |
Cash Management Fund Investment | $ 139,946 | $ 68,693 | $ 19,943 |
Treasury Money Fund Investment | $ 48,290 | $ — | $ 21,218 |
In addition, effective July 1, 2006 and August 1, 2006, for Treasury Money Fund Investment and Cash Management Fund Investment, respectively, DWS Scudder Distributors, Inc. ("DWS-SDI") also an affiliate of the Advisor, provides information and administrative services ("Service Fee") to Investment Class shareholders at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets. DWS-SDI in turn has various agreements with financial services firms that provide these services and pays these fees based upon the net assets of shareholder accounts the firm services. For the period from July 1, 2006 and August 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, for Treasury Money Fund Investment and Cash Management Fund Investment, respectively, the Service Fees were as follows:
| Total Aggregated | Unpaid at December 31, 2006 | Annualized Effective Rate |
Cash Management Fund Investment | $ 141,659 | $ 29,601 | .25% |
Treasury Money Fund Investment | $ 135,975 | $ 19,991 | .21% |
Typesetting and Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DIMA, DIMA is compensated for providing typesetting and certain regulatory filing services to the Funds. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the amounts charged to the Funds by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "reports to shareholders and shareholder meeting" at December 31, 2006 are as follows:
| Total Aggregated | Unpaid at December 31, 2006 |
Cash Management Fund Investment | $ 8,880 | $ 3,300 |
Treasury Money Fund Investment | $ 8,880 | $ 3,300 |
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 Chairperson of the Board and the Chairperson 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 December 31, 2006, there was one shareholder who held 85% of the outstanding shares of Cash Management Fund Investment and there were two shareholders each held approximately 38% and 18% of the outstanding shares of Treasury Money Fund Investment.
D. Regulatory Matters and Litigation
Regulatory Settlements. On December 21, 2006, Deutsche Asset Management ("DeAM") settled proceedings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Attorney General on behalf of Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DAMI") and Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA"), the investment advisors to many of the DWS Scudder funds, regarding allegations of improper trading of fund shares at DeAM and at the legacy Scudder and Kemper organizations prior to their acquisition by DeAM in April 2002. These regulators alleged that although the prospectuses for certain funds in the regulators' view indicated that the funds did not permit market timing, DAMI and DIMA breached their fiduciary duty to those funds in that their efforts to limit trading activity in the funds were not effective at certain times. The regulators also alleged that DAMI and DIMA breached their fiduciary duty to certain funds by entering into certain market timing arrangements with investors. These trading arrangements originated in businesses that existed prior to the currently constituted DeAM organization, which came together as a result of 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 these trading arrangements. Under the terms of the settlements, DAMI and DIMA neither admitted nor denied any wrongdoing.
The terms of the SEC settlement, which identified improper trading in the legacy Deutsche and Kemper mutual funds only, provide for payment of disgorgement in the amount of $17.2 million. The terms of the settlement with the New York Attorney General provide for payment of disgorgement in the amount of $102.3 million, which is inclusive of the amount payable under the SEC settlement, plus a civil penalty in the amount of $20 million. The total amount payable by DAMI, approximately $122.3 million, would be distributed to funds and/or shareholders of the affected funds in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by a distribution consultant. 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 have already been reserved.
Among the terms of the settled orders, DeAM is subject to certain undertakings regarding the conduct of its business in the future, including: formation of a Code of Ethics Oversight Committee to oversee all matters relating to issues arising under the advisors' Code of Ethics; establishment of an Internal Compliance Controls Committee having overall compliance oversight responsibility of the advisors; engagement of an Independent Compliance Consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of the advisors' supervisory compliance and other policies and procedures designed to prevent and detect breaches of fiduciary duty, breaches of the Code of Ethics and federal securities law violations by the advisors and their employees; and commencing in 2008, the advisors shall undergo a compliance review by an independent third party.
In addition, DeAM is subject to certain further undertakings relating to the governance of the mutual funds, including that: at least 75% of the members of the Boards of Trustees/Directors overseeing the DWS Funds continue to be independent of DeAM; the Chairmen of the DWS Funds' Boards of Trustees/Directors continue to be independent of DeAM; DeAM maintain existing management fee reductions for certain funds for a period of five years and not increase management fees for certain funds during this period; the funds retain a senior officer (or independent consultants) responsible for assisting in the review of fee arrangements and monitoring compliance by the funds and the investment advisors with securities laws, fiduciary duties, codes of ethics and other compliance policies, the expense of which shall be borne by DeAM; and periodic account statements, fund prospectuses and the mutual funds' web site contain additional disclosure and/or tools that assist investors in understanding the fees and costs associated with an investment in the funds and the impact of fees and expenses on fund returns.
DeAM has also settled proceedings with the Illinois Secretary of State regarding market timing matters. The terms of the Illinois settlement provide for investor education contributions totaling approximately $4 million and a payment in the amount of $2 million to the Securities Audit and Enforcement Fund.
On September 28, 2006, the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") announced final agreements in which Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA"), Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DAMI") and Scudder Distributors, Inc. ("SDI") (now known as DWS Scudder Distributors, Inc.) settled administrative proceedings regarding disclosure of brokerage allocation practices in connection with sales of the Scudder Funds' (now known as the DWS Scudder Funds) shares during 2001-2003. The agreements with the SEC and NASD are reflected in orders which state, among other things, that DIMA and DAMI failed to disclose potential conflicts of interest to the fund Boards and to shareholders relating to SDI's use of certain funds' brokerage commissions to reduce revenue sharing costs to broker-dealer firms with whom it had arrangements to market and distribute Scudder Fund shares. These directed brokerage practices were discontinued in October 2003.
Under the terms of the settlements, in which DIMA, DAMI and SDI neither admitted nor denied any of the regulators' findings, DIMA, DAMI and SDI agreed to pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties in the total amount of $19.3 million. The portion of the settlements distributed to the funds was approximately $17.8 million and was paid to the funds as prescribed by the settlement orders based upon the amount of brokerage commissions from each fund used to satisfy revenue sharing agreements with broker-dealers who sold fund shares. Based on the prescribed settlement order, the Fund was not entitled to a portion of the settlement.
As part of the settlements, DIMA, DAMI and SDI also agreed to implement certain measures and undertakings relating to revenue sharing payments including making additional disclosures in the fund Prospectuses or Statements of Additional Information, adopting or modifying relevant policies and procedures and providing regular reporting to the fund Boards.
Private Litigation Matters. The matters alleged in the regulatory settlements described above also serve as the general basis of a number of private class action lawsuits involving the DWS funds. These lawsuits name 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 similar allegations.
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.
E. Fund Merger
On June 27, 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 first quarter 2007.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of DWS Advisor Funds and Shareholders of Cash Management Fund Investment and Treasury Money Fund Investment:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cash Management Fund Investment and Treasury Money Fund Investment (hereafter referred to as the ``Funds'') at December 31, 2006, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as ``financial statements'') are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements
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, management investment 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 rate 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.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (the "Interpretation"). The Interpretation establishes for each Fund a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether each Fund is taxable in certain jurisdictions), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. On December 22, 2006, the SEC indicated that they would not object if a Fund implements FIN 48 in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has begun to evaluate the application of the Interpretation to each Fund and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on each Fund's financial statements.
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., (``DAMI'' or the ``Advisor''), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, is the Advisor for each of the Portfolios. Effective January 1, 2007, DAMI merged with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG and the Board of each Portfolio approved a new investment advisory agreement between each Portfolio and DIMA. The new investment advisory agreement is identical in substance to the current investment advisory agreement for each Portfolio, except for the named investment advisor. 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 September 30, 2007, the Advisor and Administrator have 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.
For the period January 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007, the Advisor and Administrator have 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 year ended December 31, 2006, each Portfolio waived a portion of its Advisory fee as follows:
| Total Aggregated | Waived | Annual Effective Rate |
Cash Management Portfolio | $ 12,748,098 | $ 1,788,874 | .13% |
Treasury Money Portfolio | $ 1,024,235 | $ 129,549 | .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 from 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, all of which was paid.
Effective June 1, 2006, the Administrator agreement with ICCC was terminated and the Portfolios entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with DIMA, pursuant to which DIMA provides most administrative services to each Portfolio. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, each Portfolio pays DIMA 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 from June 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, DIMA received an Administration fee of $1,461,568 and $135,319 for Cash management Portfolio and Treasury money portfolio, respectively, of which $228,801 and $24,389 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 Chairperson of the Board and the Chairperson 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. Fee Reductions
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Advisor reimbursed Cash Management Portfolio and Treasury Money Portfolio $3,819 and $7,877, respectively, which represent a portion of the expected fee savings for the Advisor through May 31, 2006, 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 year ended December 31, 2006, each Portfolio's custodian fees were reduced by $3,776 and $1,006, 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 JPMorgan 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
Regulatory Settlements. On December 21, 2006, Deutsche Asset Management ("DeAM") settled proceedings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Attorney General on behalf of Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DAMI") and Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA"), the investment advisors to many of the DWS Scudder funds, regarding allegations of improper trading of fund shares at DeAM and at the legacy Scudder and Kemper organizations prior to their acquisition by DeAM in April 2002. These regulators alleged that although the prospectuses for certain funds in the regulators' view indicated that the funds did not permit market timing, DAMI and DIMA breached their fiduciary duty to those funds in that their efforts to limit trading activity in the funds were not effective at certain times. The regulators also alleged that DAMI and DIMA breached their fiduciary duty to certain funds by entering into certain market timing arrangements with investors. These trading arrangements originated in businesses that existed prior to the currently constituted DeAM organization, which came together as a result of 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 these trading arrangements. Under the terms of the settlements, DAMI and DIMA neither admitted nor denied any wrongdoing.
The terms of the SEC settlement, which identified improper trading in the legacy Deutsche and Kemper mutual funds only, provide for payment of disgorgement in the amount of $17.2 million. The terms of the settlement with the New York Attorney General provide for payment of disgorgement in the amount of $102.3 million, which is inclusive of the amount payable under the SEC settlement, plus a civil penalty in the amount of $20 million. The total amount payable by DeAM, approximately $122.3 million, would be distributed to funds and/or shareholders of the affected funds in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by a distribution consultant. 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 have already been reserved.
Among the terms of the settled orders, DeAM is subject to certain undertakings regarding the conduct of its business in the future, including: formation of a Code of Ethics Oversight Committee to oversee all matters relating to issues arising under the advisors' Code of Ethics; establishment of an Internal Compliance Controls Committee having overall compliance oversight responsibility of the advisors; engagement of an Independent Compliance Consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of the advisors' supervisory compliance and other policies and procedures designed to prevent and detect breaches of fiduciary duty, breaches of the Code of Ethics and federal securities law violations by the advisors and their employees; and commencing in 2008, the advisors shall undergo a compliance review by an independent third party.
In addition, DeAM is subject to certain further undertakings relating to the governance of the mutual funds, including that: at least 75% of the members of the Boards of Trustees/Directors overseeing the DWS Funds continue to be independent of DeAM; the Chairmen of the DWS Funds' Boards of Trustees/Directors continue to be independent of DeAM; DeAM maintain existing management fee reductions for certain funds for a period of five years and not increase management fees for certain funds during this period; the funds retain a senior officer (or independent consultants) responsible for assisting in the review of fee arrangements and monitoring compliance by the funds and the investment advisors with securities laws, fiduciary duties, codes of ethics and other compliance policies, the expense of which shall be borne by DeAM; and periodic account statements, fund prospectuses and the mutual funds' web site contain additional disclosure and/or tools that assist investors in understanding the fees and costs associated with an investment in the funds and the impact of fees and expenses on fund returns.
DeAM has also settled proceedings with the Illinois Secretary of State regarding market timing matters. The terms of the Illinois settlement provide for investor education contributions totaling approximately $4 million and a payment in the amount of $2 million to the Securities Audit and Enforcement Fund.
On September 28, 2006, the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") announced final agreements in which Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA"), Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DAMI") and Scudder Distributors, Inc. ("SDI") (now known as DWS Scudder Distributors, Inc.) settled administrative proceedings regarding disclosure of brokerage allocation practices in connection with sales of the Scudder Funds' (now known as the DWS Scudder Funds) shares during 2001-2003. The agreements with the SEC and NASD are reflected in orders which state, among other things, that DIMA and DAMI failed to disclose potential conflicts of interest to the fund Boards and to shareholders relating to SDI's use of certain funds' brokerage commissions to reduce revenue sharing costs to broker-dealer firms with whom it had arrangements to market and distribute Scudder Fund shares. These directed brokerage practices were discontinued in October 2003.
Under the terms of the settlements, in which DIMA, DAMI and SDI neither admitted nor denied any of the regulators' findings, DIMA, DAMI and SDI agreed to pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties in the total amount of $19.3 million. The portion of the settlements distributed to the funds was approximately $17.8 million and was paid to the funds as prescribed by the settlement orders based upon the amount of brokerage commissions from each fund used to satisfy revenue sharing agreements with broker-dealers who sold fund shares. Based on the prescribed settlement order, the Fund was not entitled to a portion of the settlement.
As part of the settlements, DIMA, DAMI and SDI also agreed to implement certain measures and undertakings relating to revenue sharing payments including making additional disclosures in the fund Prospectuses or Statements of Additional Information, adopting or modifying relevant policies and procedures and providing regular reporting to the fund Boards.
Private Litigation Matters. The matters alleged in the regulatory settlements described above also serve as the general basis of a number of private class action lawsuits involving the DWS funds. These lawsuits name 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 similar allegations.
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.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees and Holders of Beneficial Interest of Cash Management Portfolio and Treasury Money Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolios, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cash Management Portfolio and Treasury Money Portfolio (hereafter referred to as the ``Portfolios'') at December 31, 2006, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as ``financial statements'') are the responsibility of the Portfolios' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Management Agreement Approval
Cash Management Fund Investment
Cash Management Fund Investment (the "Fund"), a series of DWS Advisor Funds, invests all of its assets in Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio") in order to achieve its investment objectives. The Portfolio's Trustees, who are also the Trustees of the Fund, approved the continuation of the Portfolio's investment management agreement with DAMI and the Fund's investment management agreement with DAMI (together, the "Investment Management Agreements") in September 2006. The Investment Management Agreements were also approved by shareholders at a special meeting held in May 2006 as part of an overall plan to standardize and add flexibility to the management agreements for the DWS funds.
In terms of the process that the Trustees followed prior to approving the agreement, shareholders should know that:
At the present time, all but one of your Fund's Trustees are independent of DAMI and its affiliates.
The Trustees meet frequently to discuss fund matters. Each year, the Trustees dedicate part or all of several meetings to contract review matters. In connection with reviewing the Investment Management Agreements, the Trustees also review the terms of the Fund's distribution agreement, administration agreement, transfer agency agreement and other material service agreements.
In connection with the Board's 2006 contract review, the Board formed a special committee to facilitate careful review of the funds' contractual arrangements. After reviewing the Fund's arrangements, that committee recommended that the Board vote to approve the continuation of the Investment Management Agreements.
The Trustees regularly meet privately with their independent counsel to discuss contract review and other matters. In addition, the Trustees were also advised by two consultants in the course of their 2006 review of the Fund's contractual arrangements.
The Trustees believe that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious advisor is in the best interest of shareholders. As you may know, DAMI is part of Deutsche Bank, a major global banking institution that is engaged in a wide range of financial services. The Trustees believe that there are significant advantages to being part of a global asset management business that offers a wide range of investing expertise and resources, including hundreds of portfolio managers and analysts with research capabilities in many countries throughout the world.
Shareholders may focus primarily on fund performance and fees, but the Portfolio's Trustees consider these and many other factors, including the quality and integrity of DAMI's personnel and such other issues as back-office operations, fund valuations, and compliance policies and procedures.
In determining to approve the continuation of the Investment Management Agreements, the Board considered all factors that it believes relevant to the interests of shareholders, including:
The investment management fee schedule for the Portfolio, including (i) comparative information provided by Lipper regarding investment management fee rates paid to other investment advisors by similar funds and (ii) fee rates paid to DAMI by similar funds and institutional accounts advised by DAMI (if any). With respect to management fees paid to other investment advisors by similar funds, the Trustees noted that the fee rates paid by the Portfolio were lower than the median (2nd quartile) of the applicable Lipper peer group (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2005). The Board gave a lesser weight to fees paid by similar institutional accounts advised by DAMI, in light of the material differences in the scope of services provided to mutual funds as compared to those provided to institutional accounts. Taking into account the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fee schedule in effect for the Portfolio represents reasonable compensation in light of the nature, extent and quality of the investment services being provided to the Portfolio.
The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Portfolio grows. In this regard, the Board noted that while the Portfolio's investment management fee schedule does not include breakpoints, the Board intends to seek implementation of one or more breakpoints once the Portfolio reaches an efficient operating size. The Board concluded that the Portfolio's fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between shareholders and DAMI of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Portfolio at current asset levels.
The total operating expenses of the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted that the total (net) operating expenses of the Fund (Investment Class shares) are expected to be lower than the median (2nd quartile) of the applicable Lipper expense universe (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2005). The Board considered the expenses of this class to be representative for purposes of evaluating other classes of shares. The Board also considered how the Fund's total (net) operating expenses compared to the total (net) operating expenses of a more customized peer group selected by Lipper (based on such factors as asset size). The Board also noted that the expense limitation agreed to by DAMI helped to ensure that the Fund's total (net) operating expenses would be competitive relative to the applicable Lipper universe.
The investment performance of the Fund and DAMI, both absolute and relative to various benchmarks and industry peer groups. The Board noted that the Fund's performance (Investment Class shares) was in the 3rd quartile of the applicable Lipper universe for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2006. The Board also observed that the Fund has underperformed its benchmark in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2006. The Board recognized that DAMI has made significant changes in its investment personnel and processes in recent years in an effort to improve long-term performance.
The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided by DAMI. The Board considered extensive information regarding DAMI, including DAMI's personnel (including particularly those personnel with responsibilities for providing services to the Fund), resources, policies and investment processes. The Board also considered the terms of the Investment Management Agreements, including the scope of services provided under the agreement. In this regard, the Board concluded that the quality and range of services provided by DAMI have benefited and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.
The costs of the services to, and profits realized by, DAMI and its affiliates from their relationships with the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board reviewed information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by DAMI during 2005 from providing investment management services to the Portfolio and the Fund (and, separately, to the entire DWS Scudder fund complex), and reviewed with DAMI the cost allocation methodology used to determine DAMI's profitability. In analyzing DAMI's costs and profits, the Board also reviewed the fees paid to and services provided by DAMI and its affiliates with respect to administrative services, transfer agent services, shareholder servicing and distribution (including fees paid pursuant to 12b-1 plans), as well as information regarding other possible benefits derived by DAMI and its affiliates as a result of DAMI's relationship with the Portfolio and the Fund. As part of this review, the Board considered information provided by an independent accounting firm engaged to review DAMI's cost allocation methodology and calculations. The Board concluded that the Portfolio's investment management fee schedule represented reasonable compensation in light of the costs incurred by DAMI and its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board also reviewed information regarding the profitability of certain similar investment management firms. The Board noted that while information regarding the profitability of such firms is limited (and in some cases is not necessarily prepared on a comparable basis), Deutsche Asset Management's overall profitability with respect to the DWS Scudder fund complex (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by DAMI and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of many comparable firms for which such data was available.
The practices of DAMI regarding the selection and compensation of brokers and dealers executing portfolio transactions for the Portfolio. The Board considered that a portion of the Portfolio's brokerage may be allocated to affiliates of DAMI, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules. The Board also reviewed and approved, subject to ongoing review by the Board, a plan whereby a limited portion of the Portfolio's brokerage may in the future be allocated to brokers who acquire (and provide to DAMI and its affiliates) research services from third parties that are generally useful to DAMI and its affiliates in managing client portfolios. The Board indicated that it would continue to monitor the allocation of the Portfolio's brokerage to ensure that the principle of "best price and execution" remains paramount in the portfolio trading process.
DAMI's commitment to and record of compliance, including its written compliance policies and procedures. In this regard, the Board considered DAMI's commitment to indemnify the Fund against any costs and liabilities related to lawsuits or regulatory actions making allegations regarding market timing, revenue sharing, fund valuation or other subjects arising from or relating to pending regulatory inquiries. The Board also considered the significant attention and resources dedicated by DAMI to documenting and enhancing its compliance processes in recent years. The Board noted in particular (i) the experience and seniority of DAMI's chief compliance officer; (ii) the large number of compliance personnel who report to DAMI's chief compliance officer; and (iii) the substantial commitment of resources by Deutsche Asset Management to compliance matters.
Deutsche Bank's commitment to its US mutual fund business. The Board considered recent and ongoing efforts by Deutsche Bank to restructure its US mutual fund business to improve efficiency and competitiveness and to reduce compliance and operational risk. The Board considered assurances received from Deutsche Bank that it would commit the resources necessary to maintain high-quality services to the Portfolio and its shareholders while various organizational initiatives are being implemented. The Board also considered Deutsche Bank's strategic plans for its US mutual fund business, the potential benefits to Fund shareholders and Deutsche Bank's management of the DWS fund group, one of Europe's most successful fund groups.
Based on all of the foregoing, the Board determined to continue the Investment Management Agreements, and concluded that the continuation of such agreement was in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.
In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor identified above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, many of which were in executive session with only the Independent Trustees and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Trustees may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the continuation of the agreement.
In December 2006, the Board approved amended and restated investment management agreements for each of the Fund and the Portfolio with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA") in connection with the merger of DAMI into DIMA. In determining to approve these agreements, the Board considered Deutsche Bank's representations that this change was administrative in nature, and would not involve any change in operations or services provided to the fund, or to the personnel involved with providing such services.
Treasury Money Fund Investment
Treasury Money Fund Investment (the "Fund"), a series of DWS Advisor Funds, invests all of its assets in Treasury Money Portfolio (the "Portfolio") in order to achieve its investment objectives. The Portfolio's Trustees, who are also the Trustees of the Fund, approved the continuation of the Portfolio's investment management agreement with DAMI and the Fund's investment management agreement with DAMI (together, the "Investment Management Agreements") in September 2006. The Investment Management Agreements were also approved by shareholders at a special meeting held in May 2006 as part of an overall plan to standardize and add flexibility to the management agreements for the DWS funds.
In terms of the process that the Trustees followed prior to approving the agreement, shareholders should know that:
At the present time, all but one of your Fund's Trustees are independent of DAMI and its affiliates.
The Trustees meet frequently to discuss fund matters. Each year, the Trustees dedicate part or all of several meetings to contract review matters. In connection with reviewing the Investment Management Agreements, the Trustees also review the terms of the Fund's distribution agreement, administration agreement, transfer agency agreement and other material service agreements.
In connection with the Board's 2006 contract review, the Board formed a special committee to facilitate careful review of the funds' contractual arrangements. After reviewing the Fund's arrangements, that committee recommended that the Board vote to approve the continuation of the Investment Management Agreements.
The Trustees regularly meet privately with their independent counsel to discuss contract review and other matters. In addition, the Trustees were also advised by two consultants in the course of their 2006 review of the Fund's contractual arrangements.
The Trustees believe that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious advisor is in the best interest of shareholders. As you may know, DAMI is part of Deutsche Bank, a major global banking institution that is engaged in a wide range of financial services. The Trustees believe that there are significant advantages to being part of a global asset management business that offers a wide range of investing expertise and resources, including hundreds of portfolio managers and analysts with research capabilities in many countries throughout the world.
Shareholders may focus primarily on fund performance and fees, but the Portfolio's Trustees consider these and many other factors, including the quality and integrity of DAMI's personnel and such other issues as back-office operations, fund valuations, and compliance policies and procedures.
In determining to approve the continuation of the Investment Management Agreements, the Board considered all factors that it believes relevant to the interests of shareholders, including:
The investment management fee schedule for the Portfolio, including (i) comparative information provided by Lipper regarding investment management fee rates paid to other investment advisors by similar funds and (ii) fee rates paid to DAMI by similar funds and institutional accounts advised by DAMI (if any). With respect to management fees paid to other investment advisors by similar funds, the Trustees noted that the fee rates paid by the Portfolio were lower than the median (2nd quartile) of the applicable Lipper peer group (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2005). The Board gave a lesser weight to fees paid by similar institutional accounts advised by DAMI, in light of the material differences in the scope of services provided to mutual funds as compared to those provided to institutional accounts. Taking into account the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fee schedule in effect for the Portfolio represents reasonable compensation in light of the nature, extent and quality of the investment services being provided to the Portfolio.
The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Portfolio grows. In this regard, the Board noted that while the Portfolio's investment management fee schedule does not include breakpoints, the Board intends to seek implementation of one or more breakpoints once the Portfolio reaches an efficient operating size. The Board concluded that the Portfolio's fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between shareholders and DAMI of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Portfolio at current asset levels.
The total operating expenses of the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted that the total (net) operating expenses of the Fund (Investment Class shares) are expected to be lower than the median (2nd quartile) of the applicable Lipper expense universe (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2005). The Board considered the expenses of this class to be representative for purposes of evaluating other classes of shares. The Board also considered how the Fund's total (net) operating expenses compared to the total (net) operating expenses of a more customized peer group selected by Lipper (based on such factors as asset size). The Board also noted that the expense limitation agreed to by DAMI helped to ensure that the Fund's total (net) operating expenses would be competitive relative to the applicable Lipper universe.
The investment performance of the Fund and DAMI, both absolute and relative to various benchmarks and industry peer groups. The Board noted that for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2006, the Fund's performance (Investment Class shares) was in the 2nd quartile, 2nd quartile and 3rd quartile, respectively, of the applicable Lipper universe. The Board also observed that the Fund has outperformed its benchmark in the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2006 and has underperformed its benchmark in the five-year period ended June 30, 2006. The Board recognized that DAMI has made significant changes in its investment personnel and processes in recent years in an effort to improve long-term performance.
The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided by DAMI. The Board considered extensive information regarding DAMI, including DAMI's personnel (including particularly those personnel with responsibilities for providing services to the Fund), resources, policies and investment processes. The Board also considered the terms of the Investment Management Agreements, including the scope of services provided under the agreement. In this regard, the Board concluded that the quality and range of services provided by DAMI have benefited and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.
The costs of the services to, and profits realized by, DAMI and its affiliates from their relationships with the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board reviewed information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by DAMI during 2005 from providing investment management services to the Portfolio and the Fund (and, separately, to the entire DWS Scudder fund complex), and reviewed with DAMI the cost allocation methodology used to determine DAMI's profitability. In analyzing DAMI's costs and profits, the Board also reviewed the fees paid to and services provided by DAMI and its affiliates with respect to administrative services, transfer agent services, shareholder servicing and distribution (including fees paid pursuant to 12b-1 plans), as well as information regarding other possible benefits derived by DAMI and its affiliates as a result of DAMI's relationship with the Portfolio and the Fund. As part of this review, the Board considered information provided by an independent accounting firm engaged to review DAMI's cost allocation methodology and calculations. The Board concluded that the Portfolio's investment management fee schedule represented reasonable compensation in light of the costs incurred by DAMI and its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board also reviewed information regarding the profitability of certain similar investment management firms. The Board noted that while information regarding the profitability of such firms is limited (and in some cases is not necessarily prepared on a comparable basis), Deutsche Asset Management's overall profitability with respect to the DWS Scudder fund complex (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by DAMI and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of many comparable firms for which such data was available.

| As of the end of the period, December 31, 2006, Cash Management Portfolio has a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, that applies to its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. There have been no amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report that would require disclosure under Item 2.

ITEM 3. | AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT |
| The Funds’ audit committee is comprised solely of trustees who are “independent” (as such term has been defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in regulations implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the “Regulations”)). The Funds’ Board of Trustees has determined that there are several “audit committee financial experts” serving on the Funds’ audit committee. The Board has determined that Keith R Fox, the chair of the Funds’ audit committee, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” (as such term has been defined by the Regulations) based on its review of Mr. Fox’s pertinent experience and education. The SEC has stated that the designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this Item 3 of Form N-CSR does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification. |
