This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. To obtain a summary prospectus, if available, or prospectus for any of our funds, refer to the Account Management Resources information provided in the back of this booklet. We advise you to consider the fund's objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The summary prospectus and prospectus contain this and other important information about the fund. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
 
An investment in this fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or by any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price. You should not rely on or expect the Advisor to enter into support agreements or take other actions to maintain the fund's $1.00 share price. The credit quality of the fund's holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the fund's share price. The fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures and/or illiquid markets. The actions of a few large investors in one class of shares of the fund may have a significant adverse effect on the share prices of all classes of shares of the fund. See the prospectus for specific details regarding the fund's risk profile.

Letter to Shareholders
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
From an economic standpoint, the view seems brighter than it has been for several years. Multiple signs suggest sustainable growth, at least for the near term. Our economists at Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management expect the global economy to accelerate in 2015, led by the United States and China.
 
That is heartening news. Yet one cannot ignore the complexities of an increasingly interconnected global economy. Low oil prices, a stronger employment picture and consumer spending bode well for the domestic economy, at least in the short term. Yet sluggish growth abroad, falling commodity prices and the strong U.S dollar may be headwinds to global growth and American exports. And, as we have seen time and again, any number of factors can unexpectedly shift the markets and the overall outlook.
 
The take-away message amidst these mixed signals: Be prepared to stick to your long-term plan, with a portfolio that can help weather short-term fluctuations. When in doubt, or if your individual situation or objectives change, talk with a trusted financial professional before taking action.
 
For timely information about economic developments and your Deutsche fund investment, we hope you will visit us at deutschefunds.com. There you will find the views of our Chief Investment Officer and economists. It is a resource we are proud to offer to help keep you up-to-date and make informed decisions.
 
As always, we thank you for your continued investment and the opportunity to put our capabilities to work for you.
 
Best regards,
Brian Binder
President, Deutsche Funds

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. Securities held by the Fund are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of January 31, 2015 in valuing the Fund's investments. For information on the Fund's policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note A in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Deutsche Money Market Prime Series (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Deutsche Money Funds (the "Trust"), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
 
The Fund offers multiple classes of shares which provide investors with different purchase options: Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class A shares are offered to investors without an initial sales charge but are subject to the applicable sales charge if exchanged into Class A shares of another Deutsche Fund. Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B shares of the Fund are closed to new purchases, except exchanges or the reinvestment of dividends or other distributions. Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B shares were offered to investors without an initial sales charge and are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions. Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B shares automatically convert to Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class A shares six years after issuance. Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class C shares are offered to investors without an initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions within one year of purchase. Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class C shares do not automatically convert into another class. Deutsche Money Market Fund and Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class S shares are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges. Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class S shares are only available to a limited group of investors.
 
Investment income, realized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, are borne pro rata on the basis of relative net assets by the holders of all classes of shares, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and service fees, services to shareholders and certain other class-specific expenses. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by class. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific arrangements.
 
The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of their financial statements.
 
Security Valuation. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 Fund values all securities utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/ amortization rate to maturity of any discount or premium. Securities held by the Fund are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.
 
Disclosure about the classification of fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund's Investment Portfolio.
 
Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, through its custodian or a sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the market value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The custodian or another designated sub-custodian bank holds the collateral in a separate account until the agreement matures. If the value of the securities falls below the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest, the financial institution deposits additional collateral by the following business day. If the financial institution either fails to deposit the required additional collateral or fails to repurchase the securities as agreed, the Fund has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Fund's claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
 
As of January 31, 2015, the Fund held repurchase agreements with a gross value of $220,000,000. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at period end. The detail of the related collateral is included in the footnotes following the Fund's Investment Portfolio.
 
Federal Income Taxes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
 
The Fund has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of July 31, 2014 and has determined that no provision for income tax and/or uncertain tax provisions is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly. The Fund may take into account capital gains and losses in its daily dividend declarations. The Fund may also make additional distributions for tax purposes if necessary.
 
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book-to-tax differences for the Fund.
 
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 Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized for both tax and financial reporting purposes.
 
B. Related Parties
 
Management Agreement. Under the Investment Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with their investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund.
 
Under the Investment Management Agreement with the Advisor, the Fund pays a monthly management fee based on the Fund's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at the following annual rates:
First $215 million of the Fund's average daily net assets
    .400 %
Next $335 million of such net assets
    .275 %
Next $250 million of such net assets
    .200 %
Next $800 million of such net assets
    .150 %
Next $800 million of such net assets
    .140 %
Next $800 million of such net assets
    .130 %
Over $3.2 billion of such net assets
    .120 %
 
For the period from August 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest) of each class as follows:
Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class A
.85%
Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B
1.60%
Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class C
1.60%
Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class S
.57%
Deutsche Money Market Fund
.57%
 
In addition, the Advisor has agreed to voluntarily waive additional expenses. This waiver may be changed or terminated at any time without notice. Under this arrangement, the Advisor waived certain expenses on Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class A, Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B, Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class C, Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class S and Deutsche Money Market Fund shares of the Fund.
 
For the six months ended January 31, 2015, the Advisor waived a portion of its management fee pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement aggregating $1,452,142, and the amount charged aggregated $186,063, which was equivalent to an annualized effective rate of 0.03% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
 
Administration Fee. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, DIMA provides most administrative services to the Fund. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee ("Administration Fee") of 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the six months ended January 31, 2015, the Administration Fee was $728,758, of which $119,175 is unpaid.
 
Service Provider Fees. DeAWM Service Company ("DSC"), 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 among DSC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), DSC has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent functions to DST. DSC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Fund. For the six months ended January 31, 2015, the amounts charged to the Fund by DSC were as follows:

Distribution and Service Fees. Under the Fund's Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B and Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class C 12b-1 Plans, DeAWM Distributors, Inc. ("DDI"), an affiliate of the Advisor, receives a fee ("Distribution Fee") of 0.75% of average daily net assets of each of Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B and Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class C shares. In accordance with the Fund's Underwriting and Distribution Services Agreement, DDI enters into related selling group agreements with various firms at various rates for sales of Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B and Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class C shares.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. DDI receives any contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") from Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of purchase and Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of purchase. There is no such charge upon redemption of any share appreciation or reinvested dividends. The CDSC is based on declining rates ranging from 4% to 1% for Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B and 1% for Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class C, of the value of the shares redeemed. For the six months ended January 31, 2015, the CDSC for Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B and Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class C shares aggregated $0 and $0, respectively. A deferred sales charge of up to 0.85% is assessed on certain redemptions of Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class A shares.
 
Typesetting and Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with DIMA, DIMA is compensated for providing typesetting and certain regulatory filing services to the Fund. For the six months ended January 31, 2015, the amount charged to the Fund by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "reports to shareholders" aggregated $11,412, of which $6,867 is unpaid.
 
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Fund paid retainer fees to each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor, plus specified amounts to the Board Chairperson and Vice Chairperson and to each committee Chairperson.
 
C. Line of Credit
 
The Fund and other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $400 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. The Fund may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated based on net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25 percent plus if the one-month LIBOR exceeds the Federal Funds Rate, the amount of such excess. The Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. The Fund had no outstanding loans at January 31, 2015.

E. Money Market Fund Reform
 
In July 2014, the SEC adopted money market fund reform intended to address potential systemic risks associated with money market funds and to improve transparency for money market fund investors. The Fund is required to comply with money market reforms by the specified compliance dates. As a result, the Fund may be required to take certain steps that will impact its structure and/or operations, which could impact the return potential of the Fund.
 
Information About Your Fund's Expenses
 
As an investor, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, the Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The example in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2014 to January 31, 2015).
 
The tables illustrate your Fund's expenses in two ways:
 
Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.
 
Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. Subject to certain exceptions, an account maintenance fee of $20.00 assessed once per calendar year for Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class A, Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B, Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class C and Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class S shares may apply for accounts with balances less than $10,000. This fee is not included in these tables. If it was, the estimate of expenses paid for these shares during the period would be higher, and account value during the period would be lower, by this amount.

Advisory Agreement Board Considerations and Fee Evaluation
 
The Board of Trustees approved the renewal of Deutsche Money Market Prime Series’ investment management agreement (the "Agreement") with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA") in September 2014.
 
In terms of the process that the Board followed prior to approving the Agreement, shareholders should know that:
 
In September 2014, all of the Fund’s Trustees were independent of DIMA and its affiliates.
 
The Trustees met frequently during the past year to discuss fund matters and dedicated a substantial amount of time to contract review matters. Over the course of several months, the Board’s Contract Committee, in coordination with the Board’s Fixed Income and Asset Allocation Oversight Committee, reviewed comprehensive materials received from DIMA, independent third parties and independent counsel. These materials included an analysis of the Fund’s performance, fees and expenses, and profitability compiled by a fee consultant retained by the Fund’s Independent Trustees (the "Fee Consultant"). The Board also received extensive information throughout the year regarding performance of the Fund.
 
The Independent Trustees regularly meet privately with counsel to discuss contract review and other matters. In addition, the Independent Trustees were advised by the Fee Consultant in the course of their review of the Fund’s contractual arrangements and considered a comprehensive report prepared by the Fee Consultant in connection with their deliberations.
 
In connection with reviewing the Agreement, the Board also reviewed the terms of the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 plan, distribution agreement, administrative services agreement, transfer agency agreement and other material service agreements.
 
Based on its evaluation of the information provided, the Contract Committee presented its findings and recommendations to the Board. The Board then reviewed the Contract Committee’s findings and recommendations.
 
In connection with the contract review process, the Contract Committee and the Board considered the factors discussed below, among others. The Board also considered that DIMA and its predecessors have managed the Fund since its inception, and the Board believes that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious advisor is in the best interests of the Fund. The Board considered, generally, that shareholders chose to invest or remain invested in the Fund knowing that DIMA managed the Fund, and that the Agreement was approved by the Fund’s shareholders. DIMA is part of Deutsche Bank AG ("DB"), a major global banking institution that is engaged in a wide range of financial services. The Board believes that there are 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.
 
As part of the contract review process, the Board carefully considered the fees and expenses of each Deutsche fund overseen by the Board in light of the fund’s performance. In many cases, this led to the negotiation and implementation of expense caps. As part of these negotiations, the Board indicated that it would consider relaxing these caps in future years following sustained improvements in performance, among other considerations.
 
In 2012, DB combined its Asset Management (of which DIMA was a part) and Wealth Management divisions into a new Asset and Wealth Management ("AWM") division. DB has advised the Independent Trustees that the U.S. asset management business is a critical and integral part of DB, and that DB will continue to invest in AWM a significant portion of the savings it has realized by combining its Asset and Wealth Management divisions, including ongoing enhancements to AWM’s investment capabilities. DB also has confirmed its commitment to maintaining strong legal and compliance groups within the AWM division.
 
While shareholders may focus primarily on fund performance and fees, the Fund’s Board considers these and many other factors, including the quality and integrity of DIMA’s personnel and such other issues as back-office operations, fund valuations, and compliance policies and procedures.
 
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered the terms of the Agreement, including the scope of advisory services provided under the Agreement. The Board noted that, under the Agreement, DIMA provides portfolio management services to the Fund and that, pursuant to a separate administrative services agreement, DIMA provides administrative services to the Fund. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management and investment personnel, the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of DIMA to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of DIMA. The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance over short-term and long-term periods and compared those returns to various agreed-upon performance measures, including a peer universe compiled by the Fee Consultant using information supplied by iMoneyNet, an independent fund data service. The Board also noted that it has put into place a process of identifying "Focus Funds" (e.g., funds performing poorly relative to a peer universe), and receives more frequent reporting and information from DIMA regarding such funds, along with DIMA’s plans to address underperformance. The Board believes this process is an effective manner of identifying and addressing underperforming funds. Based on the information provided by the Fee Consultant, the Board noted that for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2013, the Fund’s gross performance (Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class A shares) was in the 2nd quartile of the applicable iMoneyNet universe (the 1st quartile being the best performers and the 4th quartile being the worst performers).
 
Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the Fund’s investment management fee schedule, operating expenses and total expense ratios, and comparative information provided by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper") and the Fee Consultant regarding investment management fee rates paid to other investment advisors by similar funds (1st quartile being the most favorable and 4th quartile being the least favorable). With respect to management fees paid to other investment advisors by similar funds, the Board noted that the contractual fee rates paid by the Fund, which include a 0.10% fee paid to DIMA under the Fund’s administrative services agreement, were lower than the median (2nd quartile) of the applicable Lipper peer group (based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2013). Based on Lipper data provided as of December 31, 2013, the Board noted that the Fund’s total (net) operating expenses were lower than the median of the applicable Lipper expense universe for the following share classes: Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class A shares (2nd quartile), Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class B shares (2nd quartile), Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class C shares (2nd quartile), Deutsche Cash Investment Trust Class S shares (2nd quartile) and Deutsche Money Market Fund shares (2nd quartile). 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 noted the expense limitations agreed to by DIMA. The Board also noted the significant voluntary fee waivers implemented by DIMA to ensure the Fund maintained a positive yield. The Board considered the Fund’s management fee rate as compared to fees charged by DIMA to comparable funds and considered differences between the Fund and the comparable funds. The information requested by the Board as part of its review of fees and expenses also included information about institutional accounts and funds offered primarily to European investors ("Deutsche Europe funds") managed by DIMA and its affiliates. The Board noted that DIMA indicated that it does not manage any institutional accounts or Deutsche Europe funds comparable to the Fund.
 
On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that management fees were reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by DIMA.
 
Profitability. The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by DIMA under the Agreement. The Board considered the estimated costs and pre-tax profits realized by DIMA from advising the Deutsche U.S. mutual funds ("Deutsche Funds"), as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of DIMA and its affiliates with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board and the Fee Consultant reviewed DIMA’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the pre-tax profits realized by DIMA in connection with the management of the Fund were not unreasonable.
 
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and whether the Fund benefits from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the Fund’s management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between the Fund and DIMA of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Fund at current asset levels.
 
Other Benefits to DIMA and Its Affiliates. The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by DIMA and its affiliates, including any fees received by DIMA for administrative services provided to the Fund and any fees received by an affiliate of DIMA for distribution services. The Board also considered benefits to DIMA related to brokerage and soft-dollar allocations, including allocating brokerage to pay for research generated by parties other than the executing broker dealers, which pertain primarily to funds investing in equity securities, along with the incidental public relations benefits to DIMA related to Deutsche Funds advertising and cross-selling opportunities among DIMA products and services. The Board concluded that management fees were reasonable in light of these fallout benefits.
 
Compliance. The Board considered the significant attention and resources dedicated by DIMA to documenting and enhancing its compliance processes in recent years. The Board noted in particular (i) the experience and seniority of DIMA’s and the Fund’s chief compliance officer; (ii) the large number of DIMA compliance personnel; and (iii) the substantial commitment of resources by DIMA and its affiliates to compliance matters.
 
Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board unanimously determined that the continuation of the Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund. In making this determination, the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor identified above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, certain of which were in executive session with only the Independent Trustees and 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.
