SUPPLEMENT TO THE CURRENTLY EFFECTIVE PROSPECTUS

Deutsche Global High Income Fund

Effective June 1, 2016, the following information replaces the existing disclosure contained under the "AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS" sub-heading of the "PAST PERFORMANCE" section of the fund's prospectus.

Average Annual Total Returns
(For periods ended 12/31/2015 expressed as a %)

After-tax returns (which are shown only for Class A and would be different for other classes) reflect the historical highest individual federal income tax rates, but do not reflect any state or local taxes. Your actual after-tax returns may be different. After-tax returns are not relevant to shares held in an IRA, 401(k) or other tax-advantaged investment plan.

On June 1, 2016, the BofA Merrill Lynch Non-Financial Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index replaced the BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Constrained Index as the fund's comparative broad-based securities market index because the Advisor believes the BofA Merrill Lynch Non-Financial Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index more closely reflects the fund's investment strategies.
