 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">The Fund seeks <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">long-term</FONT> capital appreciation primarily through investment in <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">middle-market</FONT> German equities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Investments in funds involve risks, including the loss of principal. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">The shares of most <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> funds, including the Fund, are not continuously offered. Once issued, shares of <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> funds are bought and sold in the open market. Shares of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the Fund&#146;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. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">This Fund is diversified, but primarily focuses its investments in Germany, thereby increasing its vulnerability to developments in that country. Investing in foreign
securities presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic changes and market risks. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market or in a particular geographical region will generally be more
volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">The European Union (EU), the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions in response to the Russian
military and other actions in recent years. These sanctions have adversely affected Russian individuals, Russian issuers and the Russian economy. Russia, in turn, has imposed sanctions targeting Western individuals, businesses and products. The
various sanctions have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, not only the Russian economy but also the economies of many countries in Europe, including Germany. The continuation of current sanctions or the imposition of
additional sanctions may materially adversely affect the value of the Fund&#146;s portfolio. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">In June 2016, citizens of the United Kingdom approved a referendum to
leave the European Union (EU) and in March 2017, the United Kingdom initiated the formal process of withdrawing from the EU. On January&nbsp;31, 2020, the United Kingdom officially withdrew from the EU pursuant to a withdrawal agreement, providing
for a transition period in which the United Kingdom negotiated and finalized a trade deal with the EU, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, provisionally applied effective January&nbsp;1, 2021. As a result, as of January&nbsp;1, 2021 the
United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU customs union and single market, nor is it subject to EU policies and international agreements. The long-term impact of the United Kingdom&#146;s withdrawal from the EU is still unknown and could have
adverse economic and political effects on the United Kingdom, the EU and its member countries, and the global economy, including financial markets and asset valuations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">War, terrorism, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises (including the recent pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus) and related geopolitical
events could lead to increased market volatility, disruption to U.S. and world economies and markets and may have significant adverse effects on the Fund and its investments. </P>

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">12-month</FONT> period ended December&nbsp;31, 2020, the total return of the New Germany Fund, Inc. (the &#147;Fund&#148;) in U.S. dollars (USD) was 37.84% based on net asset value and 37.46% based on market price. During
the same period, the total return in USD of the Fund&#146;s blended benchmark (a custom blend of the MDAX Index, 80% weight, and the SDAX Index, 20% weight) was 20.56%.<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">1</SUP> The Fund&#146;s discount
to net asset value averaged 14.36% for the period in review, compared with 12.13% over the same period in 2019. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The year 2020 was severely impacted by the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> crisis. The global spread of COVID-19, followed by worldwide economic lockdowns, led to a harsh contraction of global GDP and negatively affected corporate earnings. This resulted in a sharp equity market
decline during the first quarter. Swift measures by central banks worldwide and very large fiscal rescue programs soon triggered a powerful, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">V-shaped</FONT> recovery for stocks over the following quarters. The
successful development of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> vaccines and the start of vaccinations near the end of 2020 underpinned the equity rally, and German equity indices closed the year near new
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-time</FONT> highs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The Fund&#146;s strong absolute and relative return over the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">12-month</FONT> period under review was driven by positive sector allocation and strong stock selection. During the period, positive relative performance benefited from overweights in consumer discretionary stocks,
and underweights in industrials and financials. As in earlier years, favorable stock selection was the principal driver of performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Due to the COVID-19 pandemic
and temporary lockdowns all over the globe, companies in the health care sector as well as those with online business models were especially strong performers. The already prevailing shift for consumers to purchase more and more goods online gained
tremendous additional momentum due to measures taken by governments in response to COVID-19. The Fund benefited from these sorts of investment cases within the consumer and health care sectors. Within the consumer segment, noteworthy positive
performers included the online food service company HelloFresh SE and the online fashion retailer Zalando SE. Both companies saw strong active user growth at </P>

stocks, as its position in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">SAF-Holland</FONT> SA, a supplier to truck manufacturers, contributed positively during the second half of the year. Truck orders around the globe experienced a faster rebound than
expected, as did the global forklift market. The Fund&#146;s position in the forklift manufacturer Jungheinrich AG was also among the Fund&#146;s top individual performers for 2020. In addition, underweights in travel-related companies such as
airplane manufacturer Airbus SE contributed to relative return. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10.5pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Market Outlook </B></P>

the spring of 2021. Broad <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> vaccination by the end of the second quarter would be an optimistic case. However, a reasonable vaccination level among high-risk groups, coupled with higher temperatures,

rallies in 2021, along with a rotation from growth stocks to value stocks. However, interest rates and economic growth prospects are likely to remain too low to make rallies sustainable. We have positioned the portfolio with what we believe to be a
favorable mix of growth and value stocks. In the long term, however, we continue to prefer growth stocks, with a focus on the technology, industrial, consumer and health care sectors. In addition, during 2021 we anticipate a number of government
initiatives to promote green technologies, and we therefore expect inflows into the area of thematic investments surrounding the topic of climate technology. The portfolio is positioned to take advantage of this&nbsp;trend. </P>

information was provided for DIMA. At the request of the directors, DWSI and DIMA also provided information adjusted to show the effect on profitability if the advisory fee reduction of 5 basis points on the first $100&nbsp;million of the
Fund&#146;s average weekly net assets that was effective November&nbsp;1, 2019 had been in effect throughout 2019. The directors reviewed the assumptions and methods of allocation used by DWSI and DIMA in preparing Fund-specific profitability data.
DWSI and DIMA stated their belief that the methods of allocation used were reasonable, but noted that there are limitations inherent in allocating costs to multiple individual clients served by organizations such as DWSI and DIMA where each of the
clients draws on, and benefits from, the research and other resources of the DWS organization. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The directors recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of
profitability from fund advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular advisor, the types of funds it manages, its business mix,
numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the advisor&#146;s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the directors considered the effect of possible <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">fall-out</FONT>
benefits on DWSI&#146;s expenses, including the fact that there were no affiliated brokerage commissions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The directors noted that at the beginning of 2018 DWSI had
discontinued its prior practice of allocating a portion of the Fund&#146;s brokerage to receive research generated by, or paid for by, executing brokers. They also noted that DWSI has policies to prohibit consideration of the sale of shares of DWS
funds when selecting broker dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the Fund or other DWS funds. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The directors recognized that DWSI should, as a general
matter, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to the Fund and, based on their review, concluded that DWSI&#146;s level of profitability from its relationships with the Fund was not excessive. The directors
also considered the aggregate profitability of the relationships with the Fund of DWSI and DIMA and concluded that it was not excessive. </P>

addition to the information received by the directors for the meeting, the directors receive detailed performance information for the Fund at each regular board meeting during the year and also receive monthly performance information. As the Fund is
not aware of any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> fund with an objective similar to that of the Fund, and the Fund&#146;s market trading discount is beyond the control of DWSI, the directors generally focus on the Fund&#146;s
performance based on net asset value compared to its benchmark when assessing investment results. The directors also reviewed information showing the Fund&#146;s performance compared to that of other investment vehicles compiled by management based
on information provided by Broadridge and Morningstar. The directors also reviewed information showing performance of the Fund&#146;s benchmark index, a custom blend of the German Mid Cap Index (80% weight) and the German Small Cap Index (20%
weight), and prior to September&nbsp;1, 2018 the German Mid Cap Market Index of 80 stocks. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The comparative information showed that the Fund outperformed its
benchmark in the first nine months of 2020 and in 2019, 2018 and 2017, underperformed it in 2016 and outperformed the benchmark in 2015 and 2014. Taking into account these comparisons and the other factors considered, the directors concluded that
the Fund&#146;s investment results over time were satisfactory. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10.5pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Management and Investment Advisory Fees and Other Expenses </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The directors considered the investment advisory fee rates payable by the Fund to DWSI under the agreement. The directors recognized that it is difficult to make
comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds and noted that no <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">open-end</FONT> fund
has a similar investment strategy as the Fund. The directors also considered information provided by DWSI concerning the fee rates charged to other investment companies having somewhat similar mandates as the Fund, the representation by DWSI that it
does not manage any other institutional accounts that are similar to the Fund and DWSI&#146;s review of the reasons that it does not consider institutional fee rates to be relevant to the consideration of appropriate fee rates payable by investment
companies such as the Fund. The directors noted that: (i)&nbsp;in response to a request of the directors as part of ongoing efforts to reduce Fund expenses, in 2019 DWSI had agreed to an amendment to the advisory agreement, effective
November&nbsp;1, 2019, to reduce the fee schedule permanently from 0.80% to 0.75% of average weekly net assets up to $100&nbsp;million, with no diminution in the quality of advisory services provided to the Fund. The directors noted that DWSI

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The Fund&#146;s management expense comparison group consisted of eight <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> developed market or global funds (including the
Fund) and nine <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">open-end</FONT> European region fund (plus the Fund) selected by Broadridge. The directors reviewed information comparing the combined advisory and administrative fees payable under the agreement and
the administration agreement for this purpose, noting that DWSI and DIMA are affiliated companies. The directors noted that the combined advisory and administrative fee rate paid by the Fund in 2019 of 0.87% (0.858% adjusted to show the effect if
the fee reduction effective November&nbsp;1, 2019 had been in effect throughout 2018) was below the contractual and actual median fee rates of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> fund comparison group and below the contractual
median fee rate, but above the actual median fee rate, of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">open-end</FONT> fund comparison group. The directors noted that the Fund&#146;s effective advisory fee rate (both unadjusted and adjusted) reflects the
effect of breakpoints. The directors also considered the Fund&#146;s net expense ratio in comparison to the fees and expenses of 30 other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> international equity funds compiled by management based on
Morningstar data. The directors also noted that the Fund&#146;s net expense ratio was below the median and average and in the lowest quartile<B> </B>and that the same was true when the expense ratio was adjusted to show the effect had the fee
reduction been in effect throughout 2018. The directors further noted that the fee reduction that DWSI had agreed to in 2019, as discussed above, had resulted in an expense ratio reduction of approximately two basis points. The directors concluded
that the Fund&#146;s expense ratio was satisfactory. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10.5pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Economies of Scale </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The directors noted that the investment advisory fee schedule in the agreement contains breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The
directors recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for DWSI to share its 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 DWSI as assets increase, largely because economies of scale are realized (if at all) by DWSI across a variety of products and services, and not only in
respect of a single fund. They also noted that the Fund&#146;s assets have generally diminished over recent years. Having taken these factors into account, the directors concluded that the breakpoint arrangements in the agreement were acceptable
under the Fund&#146;s circumstances. </P>

investment primarily in equity or equity-linked securities of German companies. For this purpose, a company is a &#147;German company&#148; if (i)&nbsp;it is organized under the laws of Germany or maintains its principal place of business in
Germany, (ii)&nbsp;its equity securities are traded principally in Germany and its principal place of business is in the European Union or in a state that is a member of the European Free Trade Association or (iii)&nbsp;during its most recent fiscal
year, it derived at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, or investments made, or services performed, in Germany or had at least 50% of its assets in Germany. This objective is a fundamental policy that may not be changed
without the approval of a majority of the Fund&#146;s outstanding voting securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL; font-size:9.5pt">Investment Policies.</FONT>
</B>Under normal market conditions at least 80% of the Fund&#146;s net assets are invested in equity or equity-linked securities of German companies. (If the Fund borrows money from banks (referred to as &#147;leverage&#148;), which the Fund is
permitted to do only for temporary or emergency purposes or for the clearance of transactions in amounts not exceeding 10% of the value of the Fund&#146;s total assets (not including amounts borrowed), the 80% minimum will apply to the total of the
Fund&#146;s net assets, plus the amount of those borrowings.) In addition, at least 65% of its total assets are invested in equity or equity-linked securities of smaller- and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">medium-sized</FONT> German companies,
including securities introduced for trading in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market in Germany, and publicly-traded securities of
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-German</FONT> companies; provided, however, that not more than 20% of the Fund&#146;s net assets, plus any borrowings, will be invested in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-German</FONT> companies. The Fund
may invest up to 35% of its total assets in equity or equity-linked securities of major German companies (<I>i.e.</I>, the 20 largest companies by market capitalization, as determined from time to time pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of
Directors). Companies that do not qualify as &#147;major German companies&#148; constitute &#147;smaller- and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">medium-sized</FONT> companies&#148;. The Fund may trade in securities for short-term gain. Current
interest and dividend income may also be considered in selecting securities but is not an objective of the Fund. When selecting an investment from among several investment opportunities that the Fund&#146;s investment adviser believes to have
substantially similar potential for capital appreciation, the investment adviser selects the investment that it believes will provide the highest level of current dividend or interest income and that is compatible with the Fund&#146;s investment
objective. No assurance can be given that the Fund will be able to achieve its objective. </P>

experienced high unemployment and social unrest. These issues may have an adverse effect on the German economy or the German industries or sectors in which the Fund invests. Heavy regulation of labor and product markets is pervasive in Germany.
These regulations may stifle economic growth or result in extended recessionary periods. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL; font-size:9.5pt">Country concentration

debt level and possible default on or restructuring of government debt in several European countries. A default or debt restructuring by any European country would adversely impact holders of
that country&#146;s debt, and sellers of credit default swaps linked to that country&#146;s creditworthiness. Most countries in Western Europe are members of the European Union (EU), which faces major issues involving its membership, structure,
procedures and policies. In June 2016, citizens of the United Kingdom approved a referendum to leave the European Union (EU) and in March 2017, the United Kingdom initiated the formal process of withdrawing from the EU. On January&nbsp;31, 2020, the
United Kingdom officially withdrew from the EU pursuant to a withdrawal agreement, providing for a transition period during which the United Kingdom negotiated and finalized a trade deal with the EU, the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">EU-UK</FONT>
Trade and Cooperation Agreement (the Trade Agreement), provisionally applied effective January&nbsp;1, 2021. As a result, as of January&nbsp;1, 2021 the United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU customs union and single market, nor is it subject to
EU policies and international agreements. Among other things, the Trade Agreement provides for zero tariffs and zero quotas on all goods that comply with specified rules of origin and establishes the treatment and level of access the United Kingdom
and EU have agreed to grant each other&#146;s service suppliers and investors. In addition to trade in goods and services and investment, the Trade Agreement also covers digital trade, intellectual property, public procurement, aviation and road
transport, energy, fisheries, social security coordination, law enforcement and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, thematic cooperation and participation in EU programs. Even with the Trade Agreement in place, the United Kingdom&#146;s
withdrawal from the EU may create new barriers to trade in goods and services and to cross-border mobility and exchanges, including with respect to the important financial services sector, which is largely not addressed in the Trade Agreement and
remains subject to negotiation between the United Kingdom and the EU. The long-term impact of the United Kingdom&#146;s withdrawal from the EU is still unknown and could have adverse economic and political effects on the United Kingdom, the EU and
its member countries, and the global economy, including financial markets and asset valuations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">European countries are also significantly affected by fiscal and
monetary controls implemented pursuant to the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), and it is possible that the timing and substance of these controls may not address the needs of all EMU member countries. Investing in euro-denominated
securities also risks exposure to a currency that may not fully reflect the strengths and weaknesses of the disparate economies that comprise Europe. There is continued concern over member state-level support for the euro, which could lead to
certain countries leaving the EMU, the implementation of currency controls, or potentially the dissolution of the euro. The dissolution of the euro could have significant negative effects on European financial markets. </P>

pandemic will continue to evolve. The pandemic may affect certain countries, industries, economic sectors, companies and investment products more than others, may exacerbate existing economic, political, or social tensions and may increase the
probability of an economic recession or depression. The Fund and its investments may be adversely affected by the effects of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic, and a prolonged pandemic may result in the Fund and its

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt/14pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Scope</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">DWS has adopted and implemented the following Policies
and Guidelines, which it believes are reasonably designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best economic interest of clients
and in accordance with its fiduciary duties and local regulation. This Proxy Voting Policy and Guidelines &#8211; DWS (&#8220;Policy
and Guidelines&#8221;) shall apply to all accounts managed by US domiciled advisers and to all US client accounts managed by non-US
regional offices. Non-US regional offices are required to maintain procedures and to vote proxies as may be required by law on
behalf of their non-US clients. In addition, DWS&#8217;s proxy policies reflect the fiduciary standards and responsibilities for
ERISA accounts.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">The attached guidelines represent a set of global recommendations
that were determined by the Global Proxy Voting Sub-Committee (the &#8220;GPVSC&#8221;). These guidelines were developed to provide
DWS with a comprehensive list of recommendations that represent how DWS will generally vote proxies for its clients. The recommendations
derived from the application of these guidelines are not intended to influence the various DWS legal entities either directly or
indirectly by parent or affiliated companies. In addition, the organizational structures and documents of the various DWS legal
entities allows, where necessary or appropriate, the execution by individual DWS subsidiaries of the proxy voting rights independently
of any parent or affiliated company. This applies in particular to non US fund management companies. The individuals that make
proxy voting decisions are also free to act independently, subject to the normal and customary supervision by the Management/Boards
of these DWS legal entities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt/14pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DWS&#8217;S
Proxy Voting Responsibilities</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Proxy votes are the property of DWS&#8217;s advisory clients.<SUP>1
</SUP>As such, DWS&#8217;s authority and responsibility to vote such proxies depend upon its contractual relationships with its
clients or other delegated authority. DWS has delegated responsibility for effecting its advisory clients&#8217; proxy votes to
Institutional Shareholder Services (&#8220;ISS&#8221;), an independent third-party proxy voting specialist. ISS votes DWS&#8217;s
advisory clients&#8217; proxies in accordance with DWS&#8217;s proxy guidelines or DWS&#8217;s specific instructions. Where a client
has given specific instructions as to how a proxy should be voted, DWS will notify ISS to carry out those instructions. Where no
specific instruction exists, DWS will follow the procedures in voting the proxies set forth in this document. Certain Taft-Hartley
clients may direct DWS to have ISS vote their proxies in accordance with Taft-Hartley Voting Guidelines.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Clients may in certain instances contract with their custodial
agent and notify DWS that they wish to engage in securities lending transactions. In such cases, it is the responsibility of the
custodian to deduct the number of shares that are on loan so that they do not get voted twice. To the extent a security is out
on loan and DWS determines that a proxy vote (or other shareholder action) is materially important to the client&#8217;s account,
DWS may request, on a best efforts basis, that the agent recall the security prior to the record date to allow DWS to vote the
securities.</P>

30 (see Section 6 below), if so required by relevant law.</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt/14pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Procedures</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">The key aspects of DWS&#8217;s proxy voting process are
delineated below.</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt/13pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">4.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
GPVSC&#8217;s Proxy Voting Guidelines</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">The Guidelines set forth the GPVSC&#8217;s standard voting
positions on a comprehensive list of common proxy voting matters. The GPVSC has developed and continues to update the Guidelines
based on consideration of current corporate governance principles, industry standards, client feedback, and the impact of the matter
on issuers and the value of the investments.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">The GPVSC will review the Guidelines as necessary to support
the best economic interests of DWS&#8217;s clients and, in any event, at least annually. The GPVSC will make changes to the Guidelines,
whether as a result of the annual review or otherwise, taking solely into account the best economic interests of clients. Before
changing the Guidelines, the GPVSC will thoroughly review and evaluate the proposed change and the reasons therefore, and the GPVSC
Chair will ask GPVSC members whether anyone outside of the DWS organization (but within Deutsche Bank and its affiliates) or any
entity that identifies itself as an DWS advisory client has requested or attempted to influence the proposed change and whether
any member has a conflict of interest with respect to the proposed change. If any such matter is reported to the GPVSC Chair, the
Chair will promptly notify the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee (see Section 5.4) and will defer the approval, if
possible. Lastly, the GPVSC will fully document its rationale for approving any change to the Guidelines.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">The Guidelines may reflect a voting position that differs
from the actual practices of the public company(ies) within the Deutsche Bank organization or of the investment companies for which
DWS or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or sponsor. Investment companies, particularly closed-end investment companies,
are different from traditional operating companies. These differences may call for differences in voting positions on the same
matter. Further, the manner in which DWS votes investment company proxies may differ from proposals for which a DWS-advised or
sponsored investment company solicits proxies from its shareholders. As reflected in the Guidelines, proxies solicited by closed-end
(and open-end) investment companies are generally voted in accordance with the pre-determined guidelines of ISS.</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt/13pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">4.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Specific
Proxy Voting Decisions Made by the GPVSC</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Proxy Vendor Oversight will refer to the GPVSC all proxy
proposals: (i) that are not covered by specific client instructions or the Guidelines; or (ii) that, according to the Guidelines,
should be evaluated and voted on a case-by-case basis.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Additionally, if Proxy Vendor Oversight,<SUP>2</SUP> the
GPVSC Chair or any member of the GPVSC, a Portfolio Manager, a Research Analyst or a sub-adviser believes that voting a particular
proxy in accordance with the Guidelines may not be in the best economic interests of clients, that individual may bring the matter
to the attention of the GPVSC Chair and/or Proxy Vendor Oversight.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">If Proxy Vendor Oversight refers a proxy proposal to the
GPVSC or the GPVSC determines that voting a particular proxy in accordance with the Guidelines is not in the best economic interests
of clients, the GPVSC will evaluate and vote the proxy, subject to the procedures below regarding conflicts.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">The GPVSC endeavours to hold meetings to decide how to
vote particular proxies sufficiently before the voting deadline so that the procedures below regarding conflicts can be completed
before the GPVSC&#8217;s voting determination.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><SUP>2</SUP>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proxy
Vendor Oversight generally monitors upcoming proxy solicitations for heightened attention from the press or the industry and for
novel or unusual proposals or circumstances, which may prompt Proxy Vendor Oversight to bring the solicitation to the attention
of the GPVSC Chair. DWS Portfolio Managers, DWS Research Analysts and sub-advisers also may bring a particular proxy vote to the
attention of the GPVSC Chair, as a result of their ongoing monitoring of portfolio securities held by advisory clients and/or their
review of the periodic proxy voting record reports that the GPVSC Chair distributes to DWS portfolio managers and DWS research
analysts.</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt/13pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">4.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
GPVSC&#8217;s Proxy Voting Guidelines</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">In some cases, the GPVSC may determine that it is in the
best economic interests of its clients not to vote certain proxies, or that it may not be feasible to vote certain proxies. If
the conditions below are met with regard to a proxy proposal, DWS will abstain from voting:</P>

<TD STYLE="width: 0"></TD><TD STYLE="width: 0.5in">3.</TD><TD>The GPVSC cannot convene on the proxy proposal at issue to make a determination as to what would be in the client&#8217;s best
interest. (This could happen, for example, if the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee found that there was a material
conflict or if despite all best efforts being made, the GPVSC quorum requirement could not be met).</TD></TR></TABLE>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">In addition, it is DWS&#8217;s policy not to vote proxies
of issuers subject to laws of those jurisdictions that impose restrictions upon selling shares after proxies are voted, in order
to preserve liquidity. In other cases, it may not be possible to vote certain proxies, despite good faith efforts to do so. For
example, some jurisdictions do not provide adequate notice to shareholders so that proxies may be voted on a timely basis. Voting
rights on securities that have been loaned to third-parties transfer to those third-parties, with loan termination often being
the only way to attempt to vote proxies on the loaned securities. Lastly, the GPVSC may determine that the costs to the client(s)
associated with voting a particular proxy or group of proxies outweighs the economic benefits expected from voting the proxy or
group of proxies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Proxy Vendor Oversight will coordinate with the GPVSC
Chair regarding any specific proxies and any categories of proxies that will not or cannot be voted. The reasons for not voting
any proxy shall be documented.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><I>Overriding Principle.</I> In the limited circumstances
where the GPVSC votes proxies,<SUP>3</SUP> the GPVSC will vote those proxies in accordance with what it, in good faith, determines

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><I>Independence of the GPVSC.</I> As a matter of Compliance
policy, the GPVSC and Proxy Vendor Oversight are structured to be independent from other parts of Deutsche Bank. Members of the
GPVSC and the employee responsible for Proxy Vendor Oversight are employees of DWS. As such, they may not be subject to the supervision
or control of any employees of Deutsche Bank Corporate and Investment Banking division (&#8220;CIB&#8221;). Their compensation
cannot be based upon their contribution to any business activity outside of DWS without prior approval of Legal and Compliance.
They can have no contact with employees of Deutsche Bank outside of DWS regarding specific clients, business matters, or initiatives
without the prior approval of Legal and Compliance. They furthermore may not discuss proxy votes with any person outside of DWS
(and within DWS only on a need to know basis).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><I>Conflict Review Procedures.</I> The &#8220;Conflicts
of Interest Management Sub-Committee&#8221; within DWS monitors for potential material conflicts of interest in connection with
proxy proposals that are to be evaluated by the GPVSC. The Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee members include DWS Compliance,
the chief compliance officers of the advisors and the DWS Funds. Promptly upon a determination that a proxy vote shall be presented
to the GPVSC, the GPVSC Chair shall notify the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee. The Conflicts of Interest Management
Sub-Committee shall promptly collect and review any information deemed reasonably appropriate to evaluate, in its reasonable judgment,
if DWS or any person participating in the proxy voting process has, or has the appearance of, a material conflict of interest.
For the purposes of this policy, a conflict of interest shall be considered &#8220;material&#8221; to the extent that a reasonable
person could expect the conflict to influence, or appear to influence, the GPVSC&#8217;s decision on the particular vote at issue.
GPVSC should provide the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee a reasonable amount of time (no less than 24 hours) to
perform all necessary and appropriate reviews. To the extent that a conflicts review cannot be sufficiently completed by the Conflicts
of Interest Management Sub-Committee the proxies will be voted in accordance with the standard Guidelines.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">The information considered by the Conflicts of Interest
Management Sub-Committee may include without limitation information regarding: (i) DWS client relationships; (ii) any relevant
personal conflict known by the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee or brought to the attention of that sub-committee;
and (iii) any communications with members of the GPVSC (or anyone participating or providing information to the GPVSC) and any
person outside of the DWS organization (but within Deutsche Bank and its affiliates) or any entity that identifies itself as an
DWS advisory client regarding the vote at issue. In the context of any determination, the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee
may consult with and shall be entitled to rely upon all applicable outside experts, including legal counsel.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Upon completion of the investigation, the Conflicts of
Interest Management Sub-Committee will document its findings and conclusions. If the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee
determines that: (i) DWS has a material conflict of interest that would prevent it from deciding how to vote the proxies concerned
without further client consent; or (ii) certain individuals should be recused from participating in the proxy vote at issue, the
Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee will so inform the GPVSC Chair.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">If notified that DWS has a material conflict of interest
as described above, the GPVSC chair will obtain instructions as to how the proxies should be voted either from: (i) if time permits,
the affected clients; or (ii) in accordance with the standard Guidelines. If notified that certain individuals should be recused
from the proxy vote at issue, the GPVSC Chair shall do so in accordance with the procedures set forth below.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Note: Any DWS employee who becomes aware of a potential,
material conflict of interest in respect of any proxy vote to be made on behalf of clients shall notify Compliance or the Conflicts
of Interest Management Sub-Committee. Compliance shall call a meeting of the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee to
evaluate such conflict and determine a recommended course of action.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><SUP>3</SUP>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
mentioned above, the GPVSC votes proxies where: (i) neither a specific client instruction nor a Guideline directs how the proxy
should be voted; (ii) where the Guidelines specify that an issue is to be determined on a case-by-case basis; or (iii) where voting
in accordance with the Guidelines may not be in the best economic interests of clients.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><SUP>4</SUP>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proxy
Vendor Oversight, who serves as the non-voting secretary of the GPVSC, may receive routine calls from proxy solicitors and other
parties interested in a particular proxy vote. Any contact that attempts to exert improper pressure or influence shall be reported
to the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><I>Procedures to be followed by the GPVSC.</I> At the
beginning of any discussion regarding how to vote any proxy, the GPVSC Chair (or his or her delegate) will inquire as to whether
any GPVSC member (whether voting or ex officio) or any person participating in the proxy voting process has a personal conflict
of interest or has actual knowledge of an actual or apparent conflict that has not been reported to the Conflicts of Interest Management
Sub-Committee.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">The GPVSC Chair also will inquire of these same parties
whether they have actual knowledge regarding whether any Director, officer, or employee outside of the DWS organization (but within
Deutsche Bank and its affiliates) or any entity that identifies itself as an DWS advisory client, has: (i) requested that DWS,
Proxy Vendor Oversight (or any member thereof), or a GPVSC member vote a particular proxy in a certain manner; (ii) attempted to
influence DWS, Proxy Vendor Oversight (or any member thereof), a GPVSC member or any other person in connection with proxy voting
activities; or (iii) otherwise communicated with a GPVSC member, or any other person participating or providing information to
the GPVSC regarding the particular proxy vote at issue and which incident has not yet been reported to the Conflicts of Interest
Management Sub-Committee.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">If any such incidents are reported to the GPVSC Chair,
the Chair will promptly notify the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee and, if possible, will delay the vote until the
Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee can complete the conflicts report. If a delay is not possible, the Conflicts of
Interest Management Sub-Committee will instruct the GPVSC (i) whether anyone should be recused from the proxy voting process or
(ii) whether DWS should vote the proxy in accordance with the standard guidelines, seek instructions as to how to vote the proxy
at issue from ISS or, if time permits, the affected clients. These inquiries and discussions will be properly reflected in the
GPVSC&#8217;s minutes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><I>Duty to Report.</I> Any DWS employee, including any
GPVSC member (whether voting or ex officio), that is aware of any actual or apparent conflict of interest relevant to, or any attempt
by any person outside of the DWS organization (but within Deutsche Bank and its affiliates) or any entity that identifies itself
as an DWS advisory client to influence how DWS votes its proxies has a duty to disclose the existence of the situation to the GPVSC
Chair (or his or her designee) and the details of the matter to the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee. In the case
of any person participating in the deliberations on a specific vote, such disclosure should be made before engaging in any activities
or participating in any discussion pertaining to that vote.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><I>Recusal of Members.</I> The GPVSC will recuse from
participating in a specific proxy vote any GPVSC members (whether voting or ex officio) and/or any other person who: (i) are personally
involved in a material conflict of interest; or (ii) who, as determined by the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee,
have actual knowledge of a circumstance or fact that could affect their independent judgment, in respect of such vote. The GPVSC
will also exclude from consideration the views of any person (whether requested or volunteered) if the GPVSC or any member thereof
knows, or if the Conflicts of Interest Management Sub-Committee has determined, that such other person has a material conflict
of interest with respect to the particular proxy or has attempted to influence the vote in any manner prohibited by these policies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">If, after excluding all relevant GPVSC voting members
pursuant to the paragraph above, there are three or more GPVSC voting members remaining, those remaining GPVSC members will determine
how to vote the proxy in accordance with these Policies and Guidelines. If there are fewer than three GPVSC voting members remaining,
the GPVSC Chair will vote the proxy in accordance with the standard Guidelines or will obtain instructions as to how to have the
proxy voted from, if time permits, the affected clients and otherwise from ISS.</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt/13pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">4.4.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investment
Companies and Affiliated Public Companies</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><I>Investment Companies.</I> As reflected in the Guidelines,
all proxies solicited by open-end and closed-end investment companies are voted in accordance with the pre-determined guidelines
of ISS, unless the investment company client directs DWS to vote differently on a specific proxy or specific categories of proxies.
However, regarding investment companies for which DWS or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or principal underwriter, such
proxies are voted in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders (i.e., &#8220;mirror&#8221; or &#8220;echo&#8221;
voting). Master Fund proxies solicited from feeder Funds are voted in accordance with applicable provisions of Section 12 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (&#8220;Investment Company Act&#8221;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Subject to participation agreements with certain Exchange
Traded Funds (&#8220;ETF&#8221;) issuers that have received exemptive orders from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;)
allowing investing DWS Funds to exceed the limits set forth in Section 12(d)(1)(A) and (B) of the Investment Company Act, DWS will
echo vote proxies for ETFs in which Deutsche Bank holds more than 25% of outstanding voting shares globally when required to do
so by participation agreements and SEC orders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><I>Affiliated Public Companies.</I> For proxies solicited
by non-investment company issuers of or within the DWS or Deutsche Bank organization (e.g., shares of DWS or Deutsche Bank), these
proxies will be voted in the same proportion as the vote of other shareholders (i.e., &#8220;mirror&#8221; or &#8220;echo&#8221;
voting). In markets where mirror voting is not permitted, DWS will &#8220;Abstain&#8221; from voting such shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Note: With respect to the DWS Central Cash Management
Government Fund (registered under the Investment Company Act), the Fund is not required to engage in echo voting and the investment
adviser will use these Guidelines and may determine, with respect to the DWS Central Cash Management Government Fund, to vote contrary
to the positions in the Guidelines, consistent with the Fund&#8217;s best interest.</P>

analyze the matters for which it is responsible. This includes whether ISS has effective polices, and methodologies and a review
of ISS&#8217;s policies and procedures with respect to conflicts.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">5. Generally &#8220;For&#8221; proposals that require
a company to appoint a Chairman who is an independent Director, taking into account the following factors:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in">Whether the proposal is binding
and whether it requires an immediate change.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in">Whether the current board
has an existing executive or non-independent chair or there was a recent combination of the CEO and chair roles.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in">Whether the governance structure

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in">Whether the company has poor
governance practices (such as compensation, poor risk oversight, or any actions which harmed or have the potential to harm the
interests of the shareholders).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in">Whether the company is demonstrating
poor performance (as per the assessment and recommendation of ISS).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Board independence is a cornerstone
of effective governance and accountability. A Board that is sufficiently independent from Management assures that shareholders'
interests are adequately represented.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">No Director qualifies as &#8220;independent&#8221; unless
the Board of Directors affirmatively determines that the Director has no material relationship with the listed company (either
directly or as a partner, shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Whether a Director is in fact not &quot;independent&quot;
will depend on the laws and regulations of the primary market for the security and the exchanges, if any, on which the security
trades.</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt/13pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">E.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Liability
and Indemnification of Directors</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">DWS&#8217;s policy is to vote on a case-by-case basis
on Management proposals to limit Directors' liability and to broaden the indemnification of Directors, unless broader indemnification
or limitations on Directors' liability would affect shareholders' interests in pending litigation, in which case, DWS would vote
&#8220;Against&#8221;.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: While shareholders want Directors and
officers to be responsible for their actions, it may not be in the best interests of the shareholders for them to be too risk averse.
If the risk of personal liability is too great, companies may not be able to find capable Directors willing to serve. We support
expanding coverage only for actions taken in good faith and not for serious violations of fiduciary obligation or negligence.</P>

vote on either Management or shareholder proposals that set retirement ages for Directors or require specific levels of stock ownership
by Directors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: As a general rule, the Board of Directors,
and not the shareholders, is most qualified to establish qualification policies.</P>

Directors may fill Board vacancies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Differing state statutes permit removal
of Directors with or without cause. Removal of Directors for cause usually requires proof of self-dealing, fraud, or misappropriation
of corporate assets, limiting shareholders' ability to remove Directors except under extreme circumstances. Removal without cause
requires no such showing.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Allowing only incumbent Directors to fill vacancies can
serve as an anti-takeover device, precluding shareholders from filling the Board until the next regular election.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Absent danger of anti-takeover use,

to restrict a Chief Executive Officer from serving on more than two outside Boards of Directors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Chief Executive Officer must have sufficient
time to ensure that shareholders&#8217; interests are represented adequately.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Note</U>: A Director&#8217;s service on multiple closed-end

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: The Audit Committee should deal with
accounting and risk management related questions, verifies the independence of the auditor with due regard to possible conflicts

having a market capitalization under one billion US dollars).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: While companies need an adequate number
of shares in order to carry on business, increases requested for general financial flexibility must be limited to protect shareholders
from their potential use as an anti-takeover device. Requested increases for specifically designated, reasonable business purposes
(stock split, merger, etc.) will be considered in light of those purposes and the number of shares required.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Shareholders should be permitted to

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">DWS&#8217;s policy is to vote &#8220;For&#8221; stock
splits if a legitimate business purpose is set forth and the split is in the shareholders' best interests. A vote is cast &#8220;For&#8221;
a reverse stock split only if the number of shares authorized is reduced in the same proportion as the reverse split or if the
effective increase in authorized shares (relative to outstanding shares) complies with the proxy guidelines for common stock increases.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Generally, stock splits do not detrimentally
affect shareholders. Reverse stock splits, however, may have the same result as an increase in authorized shares and should be
analyzed accordingly.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: The &#8220;one share, one vote&#8221;

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Consolidation of multiple classes of

on a CASE-BY-CASE basis, if the maximum offer/price premium exceeds 10 percent and if the share repurchase program exceeds a maximum
of 10 percent of issued share capital.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Buybacks are generally considered beneficial
to shareholders because they tend to increase returns to the remaining shareholders. However, if the maximum offer premium exceeds

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Confidential voting protects the privacy
rights of all shareholders. This is particularly important for employee-shareholders or shareholders with business or other affiliations
with the company, who may be vulnerable to coercion or retaliation when opposing Management. Confidential voting does not interfere
with the ability of corporations to communicate with all shareholders, nor does it prohibit shareholders from making their views
known directly to Management.</P>

proposals requesting cumulative voting and &#8220;For&#8221; Management proposals to eliminate it. The protections afforded shareholders
by cumulative voting are not necessary when a company has a history of good performance and does not have a concentrated ownership

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Thus, failure of any one of the three criteria results
in a vote for cumulative voting in accordance with the general policy.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Cumulative voting is a tool that should
be used to ensure that holders of a significant number of shares may have Board representation; however, the presence of other

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Supermajority voting provisions violate
the democratic principle that a simple majority should carry the vote. 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&#8217; interests to lower the supermajority provision.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Annual Incentive Plans or Bonus Plans are often submitted
to shareholders for approval. These plans typically award cash to executives based on company performance. Deutsche Bank believes
that the responsibility for executive compensation decisions rest with the Board of Directors and/or the compensation committee,
and its policy is not to second-guess the Board&#8217;s award of cash compensation amounts to executives unless a particular award
or series of awards is deemed excessive. If stock options are awarded as part of these bonus or incentive plans, the provisions
must meet Deutsche Bank&#8217;s criteria regarding stock option plans or similar stock-based incentive compensation schemes, as
set forth below.</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt/13pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Executive
and Director Stock Option Plans</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">DWS&#8217;s policy is to vote &#8220;For&#8221; stock
option plans that meet the following criteria:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">1. The resulting dilution of existing shares is less than:
(a) 15% of outstanding shares for large capital corporations; or (b) 20% of outstanding shares for small-mid capital companies
(companies having a market capitalization under one billion US dollars).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">2. The transfer of equity resulting from granting options
at less than fair market value (&#8220;FMV&#8221;) is no greater than 3% of the over-all market capitalization of large capital
corporations or 5% of market cap for small-mid capital companies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">3. The plan does not contain express repricing provisions
and, in the absence of an express statement that options will not be repriced, the company does not have a history of repricing
options.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">4. The plan does not grant options on super-voting stock.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">DWS will support performance-based option proposals as
long as: (a) they do not mandate that all options granted by the company must be performance based; and (b) only certain high-level
executives are subject to receive the performance based options.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">DWS will support proposals to eliminate the payment of
outside Director Pensions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale:</U> Determining the cost to the company
and to shareholders of stock-based incentive plans raises significant issues not encountered with cash-based compensation plans.
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.</P>

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt/13pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employee
Stock Option / Purchase Plans</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">DWS&#8217;s policy is to vote &#8220;For&#8221; employee
stock purchase plans (&#8220;ESPPs&#8221;) when the plan complies with Internal Revenue Code Section 423, allowing non-Management
employees to purchase stock at 85% of FMV.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">DWS&#8217;s policy is to vote &#8220;For&#8221; employee
stock option plans (&#8220;ESOPs&#8221;) provided they meet the standards for stock option plans in general. However, when computing
dilution and transfer of equity, ESOPs are considered independently from executive and Director Option plans.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale:</U> ESOPs and ESPPs encourage rank-and-file
employees to acquire an ownership stake in the companies they work for and have been shown to promote employee loyalty and improve
productivity.</P>

Parachutes</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">DWS&#8217;s policy is to vote &#8220;For&#8221; proposals
to require shareholder approval of golden parachutes and for proposals that would limit golden parachutes to no more than three
times base compensation. DWS&#8217;s policy is to vote on a case-by-case basis regarding more restrictive shareholder proposals
to limit golden parachutes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: In setting a reasonable limitation,
DWS considers that an effective parachute should be less attractive than continued employment and that the IRS has opined that
amounts greater than three times annual salary, are excessive.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Levels of compensation and benefits

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">DWS will consider the pay-for-performance analysis conducted
annually by an independent third party, currently ISS, to identify strong or satisfactory alignment between pay and performance
over a sustained period. With respect to companies in the Russell 3000 or Russell 3000E Indices, DWS considers the following based
on ISS&#8217; analysis:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">1. Peer Group Alignment:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in">The degree of alignment between
the company's annualized TSR rank and the CEO's annualized total pay rank within a peer group, each measured over a three-year
period.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in">The multiple of the CEO's
total pay relative to the peer group median.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">2. Absolute Alignment &#8211; the absolute alignment between
the trend in CEO pay and company TSR over the prior five fiscal years &#8211; i.e., the difference between the trend in annual
pay changes and the trend in annualized TSR during the period.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">If the above analysis demonstrates significant unsatisfactory
long-term pay-for-performance alignment or, in the case of companies outside the Russell indices, misaligned pay and performance
are otherwise suggested, DWS may consider any of the following qualitative factors as relevant to evaluating how various pay elements
may work to encourage or to undermine long-term value creation and alignment with shareholder interests:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">In general, DWS&#8217;s policy supports proposals that
request the company to furnish information helpful to shareholders in evaluating the company&#8217;s operations, based on ISS&#8217;
analysis and recommendation. In order to be able to intelligently monitor their investments shareholders often need information
best provided by the company in which they have invested. Requests to report such information will merit support. Requests to establish
special committees of the board to address broad corporate policy and provide forums for ongoing dialogue on issues including,
but not limited to shareholder relations, the environment, human rights, occupational health and safety, and executive compensation,
will generally be supported, particularly when they appear to offer a potentially effective method for enhancing shareholder value.
DWS&#8217;s policy is to closely evaluate proposals that ask the company to cease certain actions that the proponent believes are
harmful to society or some segment of society with special attention to the company&#8217;s legal and ethical obligations, its
ability to remain profitable, and potential negative publicity if the company fails to honor the request. DWS&#8217;s policy supports
shareholder proposals that improve the company&#8217;s public image, and reduce exposure to liabilities.</P>

and alleged audit failures at a number of companies, DWS supports the general principle that companies should retain separate firms
for audit and consulting services to avoid potential conflicts of interest. However, given the protections afforded by the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 (which requires Audit Committee pre-approval for non-audit services and prohibits auditors from providing specific
types of services), and the fact that some non-audit services are legitimate audit-related services, complete separation of audit
and consulting fees may not be warranted. A reasonable limitation is appropriate to help ensure auditor independence and it is
reasonable to expect that audit fees exceed non-audit fees.</P>

Firm Rotation</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">DWS&#8217;s policy is to vote against proposals seeking
audit firm rotation, unless there are relevant audit-related issues.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Because the Sarbanes-Oxley Act mandates
that the lead audit partner be switched every five years, DWS believes that rotation of the actual audit firm would be costly and
disruptive, unless DWS believes there are significant audit-related issues.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Where it deems necessary, on audit-related agenda items,
DWS will also consider voting &#8220;Against&#8221;, taking into account the following additional factors:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">1. The name of the audit firm is not disclosed.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">2. No breakdown of audit/non-audit fees is provided.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">3. Non-audit fees exceed standard audit and audit-related
fees, unless ISS highlights a special justification such as IPOs, M&amp;A or restructuring (this guideline applies only to companies

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: This is a routine item to allow shareholders

we recommend a vote against these proposals. This protects shareholders voting by proxy (and not physically present at a meeting)

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Shareholders should not be forced to
&#8220;take the good with the bad&#8221; in cases where the proposals could reasonably have been submitted separately.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Proxies solicited by investment companies are voted in
accordance with the recommendations of an independent third party, currently ISS. However, regarding investment companies for which
DWS or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or principal underwriter, such proxies are voted in the same proportion as the
vote of all other shareholders. Proxies solicited by master funds from feeder funds will be voted in accordance with applicable
provisions of Section 12 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (&#8220;Investment Company Act&#8221;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Investment companies, particularly closed-end investment
companies, are different from traditional operating companies. These differences may call for differences in voting positions on
the same matter. For example, DWS could vote &#8220;For&#8221; staggered Boards of closed-end investment companies, although DWS
generally votes &#8220;Against&#8221; staggered Boards for operating companies. Further, the manner in which DWS votes investment
company proxies may differ from proposals for which a DWS-advised investment company solicits proxies from its shareholders. As
reflected in the Guidelines, proxies solicited by closed-end (and open-end) investment companies are voted in accordance with the
pre-determined guidelines of an independent third-party.</P>

Board remuneration that is transparent and linked to results.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale:</U> Executive compensation should motivate
Management and align the interests of Management with the shareholders. The focus should be on criteria that prevent excessive
remuneration; but enable the company to hire and retain first-class professionals.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Shareholder interests are normally best served when Management
is remunerated to optimise long-term returns. Criteria should include suitable measurements like return on capital employed or
economic value added.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale</U>: Incentive plans will normally be supported
if they:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">1. Directly align the interests of members of Management
Boards with those of shareholders;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale:</U> We consider a strong, independent, and

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">DWS&#8217;s policy is to vote &#8220;For&#8221; proposals
that require the establishment of a Remuneration Committee.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0"><U>Rationale:</U> Corporations should disclose in each
annual report or proxy statement their policies on remuneration. Essential details regarding executive remuneration including share
options, long-term incentive plans and bonuses, should be disclosed in the annual report, so that investors can judge whether corporate
pay policies and practices meet the standard.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">The Remuneration Committee shall not comprise any Board

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Rationale: Buybacks are generally considered beneficial

Incorporated In Japan</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">With reference to our policy on board composition in Japan,
we expect companies, which define the role of the board to have a supervisory function instead of an executive function, to have
at least two outside directors and strongly encourage them to ensure that at least 1/3 of the members in their boards are considered
independent.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">With reference to our policy of defining independence,
outlined earlier in this document, in Japan as significant shareholders we will consider those who are in the top ten shareholders,
even if their holding represents a share of less than 10%, mainly due to the market practice in Japan for business partners to
own a certain percentage of each other&#8217;s shares as cross shareholders. With reference to our policy on the separation of
the CEO and chairman roles and responsibilities, we strongly encourage our Japanese investees to disclose the member, who chairs
the board as well as the member, who is considered to chair the company, the so called &#8220;Kaicho&#8221;, if these roles are
separated. We also expect and foster our investees in Japan to establish the relevant formal committees- nomination, remuneration
and audit.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 0">Rationale: We acknowledge what has been achieved in the
last couple of years in the corporate governance developments in Japan and support the progress, which has been made in that regard,
in particular with the introduction of the Corporate Governance and Stewardship codes. We aspire to be in a constructive dialogue
with our investees and to act as their steering partner to drive further developments in the corporate governance area. However,
we foster our investees in Japan to strive to have more independent boards generally, as we believe board independence is crucial
for the further development of corporate governance in Japan.</P>

set forth in the governing documents with respect to each other account type. The ultimate goal of this process is to evaluate

may only include assets allocated to the portfolio manager and not the total assets of each Fund managed. The tables also show
the number of performance-based fee accounts, as well as the total assets of the accounts for which the advisory fee is based on
the performance of the account. This information is provided as of the Fund&#8217;s most recent annual report dated December 31,

portfolio management team. Investment decisions for the Fund and other clients are made with a view to achieving their respective
investment objectives and after consideration of such factors as their current holdings, availability of cash for investment and
the size of their investments generally. A particular security may be bought or sold for only one client or in different amounts
and at different times for more than one but less than all clients. Likewise, because clients of the Advisor and their affiliates
may have differing investment strategies, a particular security may be bought for one or more clients when one or more other clients
are selling the security. The investment results achieved for the Fund may differ from the results achieved for other clients of
the Advisor and their affiliates. In addition, purchases or sales of the same security may be made for two or more clients on the
same day. In such event, such transactions will be allocated among the clients in a manner believed by the Advisor and their affiliates
to be most equitable to each client, generally utilizing a pro rata allocation methodology. In some cases, the allocation procedure
could potentially have an adverse effect or positive effect on the price or amount of the securities purchased or sold by the Fund.
Purchase and sale orders for the Fund may be combined with those of other clients of the Advisor and their affiliates in the interest
of achieving the most favorable net results to the Fund and the other clients.</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

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.

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 12pt 0 0">The Advisor is owned by the DWS Group, a multinational global
financial services firm that is a majority owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG. 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 and its affiliates are purchasing or selling for their 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 will cause conflicts
that could be to the disadvantage of the Advisor and its affiliate&#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.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 0 99pt; text-align: justify">A &#8220;conflict of interest&#8221;
occurs when a Covered Officer&#8217;s personal interests interfere with the interests of the Fund for which he or she serves as
an officer. Covered Officers may not improperly use their position with a Fund for personal or private gain to themselves, their
family, or any other person. Similarly, Covered Officers may not use their personal influence or personal relationships to influence
decisions or other Fund business or operational matters where they would benefit personally at the Fund&#8217;s expense or to the
Fund&#8217;s detriment. Covered Officers may not cause the Fund to take action, or refrain from taking action, for their personal
benefit at the Fund&#8217;s expense or to the Fund&#8217;s detriment. Some examples of conflicts of interest follow (this is not
an all-inclusive list): being in the position of supervising, reviewing or having any influence on the job evaluation, pay or benefit
of any immediate family member who is an employee of a Fund service provider or is otherwise associated with the Fund; or having
an ownership interest in, or having any consulting or employment relationship with, any Fund service provider other than DWS or
its affiliates.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 0 99pt; text-align: justify">Certain conflicts of interest covered
by this Code arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Fund that already are subject to conflict of interest
provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage
in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as
&#8220;affiliated persons&#8221; of the Fund. Covered Officers must comply with applicable laws and regulations. Therefore, any
violations of existing statutory and regulatory prohibitions on individual behavior could be considered a violation of this Code.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.75in"><FONT STYLE="font-weight: normal">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 0 99pt; text-align: justify">As to conflicts arising from, or as
a result of the advisory relationship (or any other relationships) between the Fund and DWS, of which the Covered Officers are
also officers or employees, it is recognized by the Board that, subject to DWS&#8217;s fiduciary duties to the Fund, the Covered
Officers will in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund or for DWS, or for both) be involved in establishing
policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on DWS and the Fund. The Board recognizes that the participation
of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contract relationship between the Fund and DWS, and is consistent
with the expectation of the Board of the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 0 99pt; text-align: justify">Covered Officers should avoid actual
conflicts of interest, and appearances of conflicts of interest, between the Covered Officer&#8217;s duties to the Fund and his
or her personal interests beyond those contemplated or anticipated by applicable regulatory schemes. If a Covered Officer suspects
or knows of a conflict or an appearance of one, the Covered Officer must immediately report the matter to the DWS Compliance Officer.
If a Covered Officer, in lieu of reporting such a matter to the DWS Compliance Officer, may report the matter directly to the Fund&#8217;s
Board (or committee thereof), as appropriate (e.g., if the conflict involves the DWS Compliance Officer or the Covered Officer
reasonably believes it would be futile to report the matter to the DWS Compliance Officer).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 0 99pt; text-align: justify">Upon receipt of a report of a possible
conflict, the DWS Compliance Officer will take steps to determine whether a conflict exists. In so doing, the DWS Compliance Officer
may take any actions he or she determines to be appropriate in his or her sole discretion and may use all reasonable resources,
including retaining or engaging legal counsel, accounting firms or other consultants, subject to applicable law.<A HREF="#note_ftn2" NAME="note_ftnref2" STYLE="font-size: 65%; vertical-align: 35%">2</A>

possible conflict of interest, the DWS Compliance Officer may determine that no conflict or reasonable appearance of a conflict
exists. If, however, the DWS Compliance Officer determines that an actual conflict exists, the Compliance Officer will resolve
the conflict solely in the interests of the Fund, and will report the conflict and its resolution to the Fund&#8217;s Board (or
committee thereof). If the DWS Compliance Officer determines that the appearance of a conflict exists, the DWS Compliance Officer
will take appropriate steps to remedy such appearance. In lieu of determining whether a conflict exists and/or resolving a conflict,
the DWS Compliance Officer instead may refer the matter to the Fund&#8217;s Board (or committee thereof), as appropriate. However,
the DWS Compliance Officer must refer the matter to the Fund&#8217;s Board (or committee thereof) if the DWS Compliance Officer
is directly involved in the conflict or under similar appropriate circumstances.</P>

at issue, if different) for purposes of educating those involved on conflicts of interests (including how to detect and avoid them,
if appropriate).</P>
