Netherlands-based EADS, one of the few non-German stocks in the Fund, rose close to 37% in the year. The company manufactures commercial and military airplanes under the Airbus brand, as well as military and telecommunications equipment. After trading mostly flat for the first three quarters of the year, renewed interest in the stock was sparked in the fourth quarter, driven by expectations that the company would report an earnings increase of 37% for the full-year 2011, with consensus growth expectations for 2012 on average 90% year-over-year.</font></div>

The stock has been a steady performer since its trough in early 2009, rising by close to 180% through March 2011. Some of the rise in stock price can be attributed to a takeover bid from Rolls-Royce and Daimler, in early March.</font></div>

After stagnation in the year's final quarter, we expect GDP to contract slightly in the first half of 2012 before recovering modestly in the second half of the year. This will result in annual average GDP growth of 0% in 2012, after 2.9% in the current year.</font></div>

We expect exports to expand a meager 1.75% in 2012, while net exports will dampen growth by one-half of a percentage point. Domestic demand is expected to provide little counterbalance, and investment in machinery and equipment will likely shrink by 1%, after mustering a 9% increase in 2011. For China, another important German export market, economists expect GDP growth to decelerate significantly to around 7% in the coming two quarters.</font></div>

EADS manufactures commercial and military airplanes under the Airbus brand, in addition to military equipment including fighter aircraft, military and commercial helicopters, satellites, and telecommunications and defense systems. After negative earnings-per-share (EPS) growth rates for the past five years, the stock price was driven by expectations that the company would report an EPS increase of 37% for the full year 2011, with mean expectations for 2012 close to a 90% increase.<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 70%; VERTICAL-ALIGN: text-top">1</font> EADS is a consortium of firms, of which Germany-based Daimler AG makes up 22.5%. Given the size and importance of the company, and the relatively big portion of business coming from Germany, EADS was added to the Fund's benchmark, the Midcap Market Performance Index, weighing in at just over 10% vs. the Fund's position at close to 9%.<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 70%; VERTICAL-ALIGN: text-top">2</font> Given the Fund's limitations of allowing only a maximum of 10% of net assets on any one issuer or any one country other than Germany, the stock generally has an underweight position vs. the benchmark, in spite of positive views by portfolio management.<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 70%; VERTICAL-ALIGN: text-top">3</font></font></div>

While European sales are weak, as expected, each of the three top automakers&#8212;BMW AG, Daimler AG and Volkswagen AG&#8212;plans to flood the U.S. market in 2012 with a wave of new vehicles. Each is expected to introduce several new models in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. U.S. sales numbers released by both Daimler and BMW for the full year 2011 showed an increase of 13%. Daimler's success came in large part from its revamped C-Class model, while BMW's biggest performer was the X3 model. Volkswagen announced an all-time record sales year in 2011, with more than 8.1 million vehicles sold worldwide (+14% year-over-year), placing it in the number-two spot globally. Volkswagen's "U.S. hopeful" for 2012 is the redesigned Passat model. Whether the automakers can again top the high numbers of the past year remains to be seen, but other markets could compensate for the continued slack expected in Europe. Volkswagen, for instance, doubled its previous sales in India in 2011, a vast market with significant remaining potential.</font></div>

The Fund retains beneficial ownership of the securities it has loaned and continues to receive interest and dividends paid by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Fund requires the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Fund consisting of either cash or liquid, unencumbered assets having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the security lending agreement. The Fund may invest the cash collateral into a joint trading account in an affiliated money market fund pursuant to Exemptive Orders issued by the SEC. Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.10% annualized effective rate as of December 31, 2011) on the cash collateral invested in the affiliated money fund. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral net of fees paid to a lending agent, and a portion of the interest that is paid to the borrower of the securities. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. The Fund is subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.</font></div>

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</font></div>

A more complete description of the Plan is provided in the Plan brochure available from DWS Investments Service Company, the transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"), P.O. Box 219066, Kansas City, Missouri 64105 (telephone 1-800-437-6269). Computershare, Inc. (the "Plan Agent") acts as the plan agent under the Plan. A shareholder should read the Plan brochure carefully before enrolling in the Plan. Under the Plan, participating shareholders ("Plan Participants") appoint the Transfer Agent to receive or invest Fund distributions as described below under "Reinvestment of Fund Shares." In addition, Plan Participants may make optional cash purchases through the Transfer Agent as often as once a month as described below under "Voluntary Cash Purchases." There is no charge to Plan Participants for participating in the Plan, although when shares are purchased under the Plan by the Plan Agent on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise on the open market, each Plan Participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with such purchases, as described below under "Reinvestment of Fund Shares" and "Voluntary Cash Purchases."</font></div>

The number of additional shares to be credited to a Plan Participant's account shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution payable to a Plan Participant by the net asset value per share of the Fund's common stock on the valuation date, or if the net asset value per share is less than 95% of the market price per share on such date, then by 95% of the market price per share.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, when the Fund issues shares representing an income dividend or a capital gains dividend, a Participant will include in income the fair market value of the shares received as of the payment date, which will be ordinary dividend income or capital gains, as the case may be. The shares will have a tax basis equal to such fair market value, and the holding period for the shares will begin on the day after the date of distribution. If shares are purchased on the open market by the Plan Agent, a Plan Participant will include in income the amount of the cash payment made. The basis of such shares will be the purchase price of the shares, and the holding period for the shares will begin on the day following the date of purchase. State, local and foreign taxes may also be applicable.</font></div>

The directors reviewed with DIMA assumptions and methods of allocation used by DIMA and DeAMI in preparing Fund specific profitability data. DIMA stated its belief that the methods of allocation used were reasonable, but it noted that there are limitations inherent in allocating costs to multiple individual advisory clients served by an organization such as DIMA and DeAMI where each of the advisory clients draws on, and benefits from, the research and other resources of the Deutsche Bank organization.

The directors reviewed information showing the Fund's performance compared to that of other investment vehicles compiled by Lipper (a total of 19 funds, (consisting of exchange-traded funds, open-end funds and single-country funds)). The directors also reviewed information showing performance of the Fund's benchmark index, currently the Germany Midcap Market Performance index of 80 stocks.</font></div>

While the Fund's results were strongly negative in absolute terms in 2008, they were more favorable than those of its benchmark, and the Fund outperformed its benchmark, often by substantial amounts, in seven of the eight years ended 2010. Taking into account these comparisons and the other factors considered, the directors concluded that the Fund's investment results over time were satisfactory.</font></div>

The directors recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of management and advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The directors also considered the representation by DIMA and DeAMI that they do not manage any institutional accounts that are similar to the Fund, and their review of the reasons that they do not consider institutional fee rates to be relevant to the consideration of appropriate fee rates payable by investment companies such as the Fund. The Fund's expense comparison group consisted of 38 closed end country funds and ETFs and the information showed that the Fund's effective management fee rate for 2010 of 0.874% was below the average and median of the comparison group. The directors noted that the Fund's effective fee rate reflects the effect of breakpoints. The directors also considered the Fund's total expense ratio in comparison to the fees and expenses of funds within the comparison group. The directors recognized that the expense ratio information for the Fund potentially reflected on DIMA's provision of services, as DIMA is responsible for coordinating services provided to the Fund by others. The directors also noted that the Fund's expense ratio was in the lowest quartile of the comparison group. DIMA explained that this difference was principally the result of the Fund's relatively low management and investment advisory fee and the Fund's relatively large asset base. The directors concluded that the Fund's expense ratio was satisfactory.</font></div>

The directors recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for DIMA and DeAMI to share their economies of scale with some funds that have substantial assets or that may grow materially over the next year. However, they also recognized that there is no direct relationship between the economies of scale realized by funds and those realized by DIMA and DeAMI as assets increase, largely because economies of scale are realized (if at all) by DIMA and DeAMI across a variety of products and services, and not only in respect of a single fund. Having taken these factors into account, the directors concluded that the Fund's breakpoint arrangements were acceptable under the Fund's circumstances.</font></div>

<div>The Fund offers shareholders a Voluntary Cash Purchase Program and Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("Plan") which provides for optional cash purchases and for the automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions payable by the Fund in additional Fund shares. Plan participants may invest as little as $100 in any month and may invest up to $36,000 annually. The Plan allows current shareholders who are not already participants in the Plan and first time investors to enroll in the Plan by making an initial cash deposit of at least $250 with the plan agent. Share purchases are combined to receive a beneficial brokerage fee. A brochure is available by writing or telephoning the transfer agent:</div>

Setting supermajority requirements may make it difficult or impossible for shareholders to remove egregious by-law or charter provisions. Occasionally, a company with a significant insider held position might attempt to lower a supermajority threshold to make it easier for management to approve provisions that may be detrimental to shareholders. In that case, it may not be in the shareholders interests to lower the supermajority provision.</font></div>

These include the potential dilution of existing shareholders' voting power, the transfer of equity out of the company resulting from the grant and execution of options at less than FMV and the authority to reprice or replace underwater options. Our stock option plan analysis model seeks to allow reasonable levels of flexibility for a company yet still protect shareholders from the negative impact of excessive stock compensation. Acknowledging that small mid-capital corporations often rely more heavily on stock option plans as their main source of executive compensation and may not be able to compete with their large capital competitors with cash compensation, we provide slightly more flexibility for those companies.</font></div>

Variable pay&#160;can be delivered via a short-term and/or long-term vehicle, namely cash, restricted equity awards, and/or restricted incentive awards.&#160;&#160;Variable pay comprises a greater proportion of total compensation as the portfolio manager&#8217;s seniority and total compensation level increase.&#160;&#160;The proportion of variable pay delivered via a long-term incentive award, which is subject to clawback, will increase significantly as the amount of variable pay increases.&#160;&#160;All variable pay delivered via a long-term incentive award is subject to clawback.</font></div>

The ultimate goal of this process is to evaluate the degree to which investment professionals deliver investment performance that meets or exceeds their clients&#8217; risk and return objectives. When determining Total Compensation, Deutsche Asset Management considers a number of quantitative and qualitative factors:</font></div>

The simultaneous management of long and short portfolios creates potential conflicts of interest including the risk that short sale activity could adversely affect the market value of the long positions (and vice versa), the risk arising from sequential orders in long and short positions, and the risks associated with receiving opposing orders at the same time. The Advisor has adopted procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to mitigate these and other potential conflicts of interest. Included in these procedures are specific guidelines developed to provide fair and equitable treatment for all clients whose accounts are managed by each Fund&#8217;s portfolio management team. The Advisor and the portfolio management team have established monitoring procedures, a protocol for supervisory reviews, as well as compliance oversight to ensure that potential conflicts of interest relating to this type of activity are properly addressed.</font></div>

<div>The Advisor is owned by Deutsche Bank AG, a multi-national financial services company. Therefore, the Advisor is affiliated with a variety of entities that provide, and/or engage in commercial banking, insurance, brokerage, investment banking, financial advisory, broker-dealer activities (including sales and trading), hedge funds, real estate and private equity investing, in addition to the provision of investment management services to institutional and individual investors. Since Deutsche Bank AG, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees (the &#8220;Firm&#8221;) are engaged in businesses and have interests in addition to managing asset management accounts, such wide ranging activities involve real, potential or apparent conflicts of interest. These interests and activities include potential advisory, transactional and financial activities and other interests in securities and companies that may be directly or indirectly purchased or sold by the Firm for its clients&#8217; advisory accounts. The Advisor may take investment positions in securities in which other clients or related persons within the Firm have different investment positions. There may be instances in which the Advisor is purchasing or selling for its client accounts, or pursuing an outcome in the context of a workout or restructuring with respect to, securities in which the Firm is undertaking the same or differing strategy in other businesses or other client accounts. These are considerations of which advisory clients should be aware and which may cause conflicts that could be to the disadvantage of the Advisor&#8217;s advisory clients, including the Fund. The Advisor has instituted business and compliance policies, procedures and disclosures that are designed to identify, monitor and mitigate conflicts of interest and, as appropriate, to report them to a Fund&#8217;s Board.</div>

In lieu of determining whether a conflict exists and/or resolving a conflict, the DeAM Compliance Officer instead may refer the matter to the Fund&#8217;s Board (or committee thereof), as appropriate. However, the DeAM Compliance Officer must refer the matter to the Fund&#8217;s Board (or committee thereof) if the DeAM Compliance Officer is directly involved in the conflict or under similar appropriate circumstances.</font></font></div>
