Fair Value Measurements
Various inputs are used in
determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant
observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in
determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary
of the inputs used as of January 31, 2021 in valuing the Fund's investments.

PROSPECTUS
To obtain a summary prospectus, if
available, or prospectus, download one from fundsus.dws.com, talk to your financial representative or call (800) 728-3337. We advise you to carefully consider the product's objectives, risks, charges and expenses
before investing. The summary prospectus and prospectus contain this and other important information about the investment product. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
CLOSED-END FUNDS
Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds,
are not continuously offered. There is a one time public offering and once issued, shares of closedend funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a
discount to net asset value. The price of the fund’s shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the fund cannot predict whether its shares will
trade at, below or above net asset value.
