For purposes of its industry concentration policy, the Fund classifies issuers of portfolio securities at the industry sub-group level.  Certain of the categories in the above Schedule of Investments consist of multiple industry sub-groups or industries.

German companies, non-Germany domiciled securities may qualify as German companies as defined in the Fund's

Statement of Investment Objectives, Policies and Investment Restrictions.

 

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 associated with investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2021 in valuing the Fund’s investments.

OBTAIN AN OPEN-END FUND 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 closed-end 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.
