AUDIT COMMITTEE
7
Assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of (1) the integrity of the financial statements, (2) the fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures, (3) the fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements related to accounting and financial reporting, (4) valuation of fund assets and securities and (5) the qualifications, independence and performance of the independent registered public accounting firm for the fund. Oversees the valuation of the fund’s securities and other assets and determines, as needed, the fair value of fund securities or other assets under certain circumstances as described in the fund’s Valuation Procedures. It also approves and recommends to the Board the appointment, retention or termination of the independent registered public accounting firm for the fund, reviews the scope of audit and internal controls, considers and reports to the Board on matters relating to the fund’s accounting and financial reporting practices, and performs such other tasks as the full Board deems necessary or appropriate.

NOMINATING AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
6
Recommends individuals for membership on the Board, nominates officers, Board and committee chairs, vice chairs and committee members, and oversees the operations of the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee has not established specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by an individual to be considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee for nomination as a Board Member. The Nominating and Governance Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors in considering Board Member candidates, including, but not limited to: (i) availability and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities to the Board, (ii) relevant industry and related experience, (iii) educational background, (iv) financial expertise, (v) an assessment of the candidate’s ability, judgment and expertise, and (vi) the current composition of the Board. The Committee generally believes that the Board benefits from diversity of background, experience and views among its members, and considers this as a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy in this regard. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews recommendations by shareholders for candidates for Board positions on the same basis as candidates recommended by other sources. Shareholders may recommend candidates for Board positions by forwarding their correspondence by US mail or courier service to Kenneth C. Froewiss, Chairman, DWS Mutual Funds, P.O. Box 78, Short Hills, NJ 07078.
