Exhibit 77D - DWS High Income Trust

New Authorized Investments

The Board of Trustees has authorized the fund to invest
in direct debt, restructuring instruments and bank loans.
`
Direct Debt. Direct debt instruments are interests in
amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower
to lenders (direct loans), to suppliers of goods or services
(trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties.
The fund may invest in all types of direct debt investments.
The fund currently intends to invest primarily in direct
loans and trade claims. When the fund participates in a direct
loan, it will be lending money directly to an issuer.

Restructuring Instruments. The fund may hold distressed
securities, which are securities that are in default or in
risk of being in default. In connection with an exchange or
workout of such securities, the fund may accept various
instruments if the investment adviser determines it is in the
best interests of the fund and consistent with the fund's
investment objective and policies. Such instruments may include,
but are not limited to, warrants, rights, participation
interests in asset sales and contingent-interest obligations.

Bank Loans. The fund may also invest in bank loans, which are
typically senior debt obligations of borrowers (issuers) and,
as such, are considered  to hold a senior position in the capital
structure of the borrower. These may include loans that hold the
most senior position, that hold an equal ranking with other
senior debt, or loans that are, in the judgment of the fund's
investment advisor, in the category of senior debt of the borrower.
The fund may invest in both fixed and floating
rate bank loans. The fund may purchase bank loans either as an
"assignment" or a "participation." The fund will not purchase bank
loans where Deutsche Bank or an affiliate serves as an agent bank.
Investments in direct debt instruments, restructuring instruments
and bank loans involve interest rate risk, liquidity risk and
credit risk, includingthe risk of loss in the case of the default
or insolvency of a borrower. The fund does not currently intend
to invest in direct debt, restructuring instruments, or bank loans.
