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>

positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. Investing in foreign securities, particularly those of emerging markets,
presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks. Any fund that focuses
in a particular segment of the market or region of the world will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly.</P>

have imposed sanctions on Russia as a result of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine. These sanctions have adversely affected
Russian individuals, issuers and the Russian economy, and Russia, in turn, has imposed sanctions targeting Western individuals,

not only the Russian economy but also the economies of many countries in Europe, including Central Europe. Potential developments
in the Ukraine, and the continuation of current sanctions or the imposition of additional sanctions may materially adversely affect
the value or liquidity of the Fund's portfolio.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">Dear Shareholder,</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the Central
Europe, Russia and Turkey Fund, Inc. delivered a total return in U.S. dollar terms (USD) of 6.47% based on net asset value (NAV)
and 3.15% based on market price. During the same&nbsp;period, the total return in USD of the Fund&rsquo;s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging
Markets Europe ex Greece Index, was 7.37%.<SUP>1</SUP> The Fund&rsquo;s benchmark was changed on March 1, 2016 from the MSCI Emerging
Markets Europe Index to the MSCI Emerging Markets Europe ex Greece Index.<SUP>2</SUP> The MSCI Emerging Markets Europe Index returned
4.33% over the reporting period. The Fund&rsquo;s discount to NAV averaged 12.54% for the&nbsp;period in review, compared with
10.45% for the same period a year&nbsp;earlier.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">The markets were again volatile during the course
of the reporting period. After a very weak performance until mid-January 2016 &mdash; driven mainly by further Brent oil price
declines and persistently weak economic data in China &mdash; markets, with the exception of Turkey, recovered strongly in the
following months. The key reasons that supported the markets were the expansionary monetary policies of the European Central Bank
and the recovery of oil prices, thanks to OPEC&rsquo;s planned cut of oil output.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">Emerging European equity markets showed a mixed performance
during the reporting period. The top performers were Hungary and Russia,&nbsp;with gains of 37.6% (BUX in USD terms) and 22.5%
(RTS in USD&nbsp;terms), respectively.<SUP>3,4</SUP> On the opposite side, Turkey lost 4.4% (XU100&nbsp;in USD terms) and Poland
decreased by 10.5% (WIG20 in USD terms).<SUP>5,6</SUP> RUB (Russian ruble) and CE3 (Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary) currencies
performed very stably against USD. However, TRY (Turkish lira) declined almost 6% amid domestic politics and external&nbsp;factors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">Sectorwise across all our regions, the best performers
in the reporting period were energy, materials, consumer discretionary and health care (which however includes only Richter Gedeon)
stocks. Industrials, utilities and consumer staples were the worst performers. In the reporting period we increased our positioning
in energy due to a strong recovery in the oil price and decreased our weightings in financials, mainly in Poland and Turkey. We
reduced our positions in consumer staples, namely in Magnit and Dixy Group* due to sales figures persistently below expectations.
We also reduced our position in X5 Retail Group. These transactions mainly reduced our country allocation in Russia. In Poland
we sold our position in footwear company CCC and replaced it with one in Eurocash, a wholesaler of consumer goods. Given the particular
uncertainties in individual countries such as Turkey, we kept a relatively high cash position during the reporting period.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">*</FONT> <FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">Not
held in the portfolio as of October 31, 2016.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">Russian equities recovered strongly from their December
lows, mainly due to an increase in oil prices and stabilization in the domestic economy. Inflation has fallen faster than expected
and the Central Bank of Russia has maintained its hawkish view while cutting interest rates several times in 2016. However, further
rate cuts are highly unlikely to happen before the end of the year. The increase of the dividend payout for state-owned enterprises
proposed by the Finance Ministry by early 2016 was welcomed by investors. The dividend yields of the Russian equity market are
already among the highest in the emerging-markets universe. The biggest outperformer in the financial sector was Sberbank of Russia
PJSC, benefiting from its dominance in the domestic market and a significant improvement in net interest margin, which brought
return on equity above 20% in the first 10 months of 2016. In the oil segment Lukoil PJSC and Rosneft PJSC were the leaders due
to operational improvements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">The year 2016 was a very turbulent one for Turkey,
and investors have experienced a veritable rollercoaster ride. Until the end of April 2016, the equity market was performing very
well due to the sound macroeconomic environment and a declining current account deficit. Furthermore, in March 2016, Turkey reached
a refugee deal with the European Union (EU). In May, there was an equity sell-off in response to the resignation of the Turkish
prime minister. Following the sell-off through the middle of July the market improved, mainly due to improved relations with Russia.
However, the relief rally ended abruptly when a failed military coup happened. As the result of domestic events and a strong USD,
TRY is currently trading at all-time lows, which led the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey to stop cutting rates. Gross domestic
product (GDP) growth seems to be losing momentum.<SUP>7 </SUP>On the political front, the risk of a referendum on a new constitution
based on the executive presidency has further increased. The&nbsp;worst performers by far were stocks related to the tourism sector,
as&nbsp;the country was hit by several terrorist attacks and remains in the middle of geopolitical tensions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">In Poland, consumption was the main driver
behind the strong GDP growth. Unemployment reached its all-time low and labor market conditions remain very tight, which
should generate some demand-driven inflationary pressure going forward. Poland&rsquo;s Central Bank kept interest rates
unchanged in the reporting period, at relatively high levels when compared to Hungary or the Czech Republic. Unfortunately, a
very good macro environment was not reflected in the corporate earnings of most blue chips and a rotation to high-quality
mid-cap stocks took place. The government introduced a special banking tax, which hurt the banks' profitability and led to
the segment&rsquo;s underperformance. The formerly harsh government rhetoric regarding the conversion of Swiss franc loans
into Polish zloty has become gentler&nbsp;and so far the proposed solution has been less painful for banks&nbsp;than
expected, though the problem has not been definitively solved&nbsp;yet.&nbsp;Furthermore, the government aims to consolidate
the banking area in&nbsp;order to have at least 50% state ownership in Polish banks. Another big underperformer was the
utilities sector, due to uncertainty about dividend payments and negative news flow regarding&nbsp;capital allocation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">Hungarian equities profited from a very solid macro
environment mainly&nbsp;driven by strong household consumption combined with low unemployment rates and average wages growth. Fitch

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">We are underweight in Russian equities, as we believe
the Russian market outperformance can only be sustainable if oil prices keep going up. The longer oil prices remain above or close
to $50&ndash;$60/bbl, the more U.S. shale producers would be inclined to resume their production. Furthermore, global risk-off
sentiment and a strengthening USD might limit the uptrend in commodities prices.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">While Turkish equities continue to be attractive
from a valuation perspective, the road ahead is likely to be bumpy due to abundant country-specific risk factors. Moody&rsquo;s
decision to downgrade Turkey's sovereign credit rating, related mainly to sizeable external funding requirements and weakening
growth, increases Turkey&rsquo;s risk premium, leading to further pressure on the lira and rates. Currently, we are underweight
in Turkish equities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">We have an overweight position in Hungary and Czech
Republic and an almost neutral one in Poland, where GDP continues to grow at more than twice the speed of other EU economies. On
the micro front, companies should benefit from strong private consumption, a healthy labor market and a low interest rate environment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><B>Answer:</B></FONT>
<FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">Yes, and there are several reasons for the outperformance of the Russian market. The economy did
better than was widely expected. Oil prices have bounced back after falling to mid-$20s levels. Russian credit was in good demand,
as a high domestic interest rate has attracted money flows from carry trades. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><B>Question:</B></FONT>
<FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">How will Turkey cope with the sudden depreciation of the Turkish lira?</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><B>Answer:</B></FONT>
<FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">It appears that the Turkish lira depreciated as yields in the bond market increased. If this trend
continues, Turkey will face lower GDP growth and higher inflation in 2017. The Turkish lira's depreciation against a basket of
currencies made up of 50% USD and 50% EUR since January reached 7% and is expected to boost Turkey&rsquo;s CPI inflation by roughly
one percentage point. GDP growth slowed down to 3%. Further slowdown took place in 3Q16 and the government pledged that it will
be spending more in 2017 in order to stimulate the economy. Turkish companies borrowed heavily from international capital markets
over the last five to six years and Turkey&rsquo;s external debt reached 60% of GDP, which is a record high. The magnitude of the
depreciation of the local currency may cause financial instability in the future.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><B>Question:</B></FONT>
<FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">What will be the impact of potential FX peg removal in the Czech Republic in 2017?</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><B>Answer:</B></FONT>
<FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">Because the peg was introduced to stir inflationary expectations, we may assume that as soon as (external
or internal) inflationary pressures increase, the Czech National Bank may be in a position to lift the FX peg in mid-2017 without
triggering a substantial currency strengthening and without depressing the modest inflationary expectations below its 2% target.
The impact on the corporate segment may be negative, as the export share in the Czech GDP is quite substantial at 83%. The loan
growth could be lower in the medium term, which should have an indirect impact on the banking sector.</FONT></P>

of regular trading on Deutsche B&ouml;rse XETRA, normally at 11:30 a.m., New York time.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">Various inputs are used in determining the value
of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets
for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities,
interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level&nbsp;3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's
own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication
of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">Equity securities are valued at the most recent sale
price or official closing price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade prior
to the time of valuation. Securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent
bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation. Equity securities
are generally categorized as Level 1.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">Investments in open-end investment companies are
valued and traded at their NAV each business day and are categorized as Level 1.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">Securities and other assets for which market quotations
are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner
that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board and are generally
categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Fund's valuation procedures, factors considered in determining value may include,
but are not limited to, the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any
contractual restrictions on the security's disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer
or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded
securities); an analysis of the company's or issuer's financial statements; an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer
and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold; and, with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness,
currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these
procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.</P>

and Investment Income.</B></FONT> <FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus
one basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment security transactions are reported on
trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date net of foreign
withholding taxes. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the
Fund is informed of such dividends. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.
Proceeds from litigation payments, if any, are included in net realized gain (loss) for investments.</FONT></P>

<FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">Brown Brothers Harriman &amp; Co., as lending agent, lends securities of the Fund to certain financial
institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans, the Fund continues to receive dividends
generated 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 securities lending agreement. As of
period end, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. During the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund invested the cash
collateral into a joint trading account in affiliated money market funds managed by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc.
As of October 31, 2016, the Fund invested the cash collateral in Government &amp; Agency Securities Portfolio. Deutsche Investment
Management Americas Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.09% annualized effective rate as of October 31, 2016) on the
cash collateral invested in Government &amp; Agency Securities Portfolio. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities
either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending
agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return
borrowed securities within a standard time period. 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. If the Fund is not able to recover securities
lent, the Fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of
the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Fund is also 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></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">As of October 31, 2016, the Fund had securities on
loan, which were classified as common stock in the Schedule of Investments. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency
are translated into United States dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities,
income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized
and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates
on securities transactions, the acquisition and disposition of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net
investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses
on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed but is included with
net realized and unrealized gain/appreciation and loss/depreciation on investments.</P>

general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future
claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of
loss to be remote.</FONT></P>

<FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which
are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">Additionally, the Fund may be subject to taxes imposed
by the governments of countries in which it invests and are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated.
Estimated tax liabilities on certain foreign securities are recorded on an accrual basis and are reflected as components of interest
income or net change in unrealized gain/loss on investments. Tax liabilities realized as a result of security sales are reflected
as a component of net realized gain/loss on investments.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">At October 31, 2016, the Fund had a net tax basis
capital loss carryforward of approximately $50,172,000, which may be applied against realized net taxable capital gains indefinitely,
including short-term losses ($26,448,000) and long-term losses ($23,724,000).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">The Fund has reviewed the tax positions for the open
tax years as of October 31, 2016 and has determined that no provision for income tax and/or uncertain tax provisions is required

to Shareholders.</B></FONT> <FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">The Fund records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the
ex-dividend date. The timing and character of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance
with United States federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. These differences primarily relate to investments in foreign currency denominated investments, investments in
foreign passive investment companies, recognition of certain foreign currency gains (losses) as ordinary income (loss) and certain
securities sold at a loss. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for
a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make
reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the NAV of the Fund.</FONT></P>

risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in developed markets. These risks include currency fluctuations,
high rates of inflation or deflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political, social and

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">On July 28, 2014, the Fund announced that the Board
of Directors adopted a new Discount Management Program whereby the Fund would initiate one contingent tender offer during the period
from August 1, 2014 through July 31, 2015 for 5% of the Fund&rsquo;s shares outstanding at 98% of NAV. The terms of the Discount
Management Program required the Fund to conduct a tender offer if its shares traded at an average discount to NAV of more than
10% during a fifteen-week measurement period determined by the Board of Directors. During the measurement period that commenced
on January 12, 2015 and expired on April 24, 2015, the Fund's shares traded at an average discount to NAV of 10.01%. Therefore,
the Fund conducted a tender offer which commenced on June 25, 2015 and expired on July 24, 2015. The Fund accepted 433,673 tendered
shares (which represent 5% of the Fund's outstanding shares of common stock) at a price equal to 98% of the NAV per share as of
the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange on July 27, 2015. Approximately 5,792,342 shares of common

Program and Dividend Reinvestment Plan (&quot;Plan&quot;) which provides for optional cash purchases and for the automatic reinvestment

219066, Kansas City, Missouri 64105 (telephone 1-800-349-4281). DST Systems, Inc. (the &quot;Plan Agent&quot;) acts as the plan

a month as described below under &quot;Voluntary Cash Purchases.&quot; 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 &quot;Reinvestment of Fund Shares&quot; and &quot;Voluntary Cash Purchases.&quot;</P>

an income dividend or a return of capital distribution payable only in cash and the net asset value per share of the Fund's common

Agent shall apply the amount of such dividend or distribution payable to a Plan Participant to the purchase from the Fund of Fund
Shares for a Plan Participant's account, except that if the Fund does not offer shares for such purpose because it concludes Securities
Act registration would be required and such registration cannot be timely effected or is not otherwise a cost-effective alternative
for the Fund, then the Transfer Agent shall follow the procedure described in the next paragraph. 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. The valuation

an income dividend or a return of capital distribution payable only in cash and the net asset value per share of the Fund's common

amount of such dividend or distribution payable to a Plan Participant (less a Plan Participant's pro rata share of brokerage commissions
incurred with respect to open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of such dividend or distribution) to the purchase
on the open market of Fund shares for a Plan Participant's account. The valuation date will be the payable date for such dividend
or distribution. Such purchases will be made on or shortly after the valuation date and in no event more than 30 days after such
date except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchase is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of federal
securities laws.</P>

a Plan Participant's purchases with the purchases of other Plan Participants, and the average price (including brokerage commissions)
of all shares purchased by the Plan Agent shall be the price per share allocable to each Plan Participant.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">For all purposes of the Plan, the market price of
the Fund's common stock on a payable date shall be the last sales price on the New York Stock Exchange on that date, or, if there
is no sale on such Exchange (or, if different, the principal exchange for Fund shares) on that date, then the mean between the
closing bid and asked quotations for such stock on such Exchange on such date. The net asset value per share of the Fund's common
stock on a valuation date shall be as determined by or on behalf of the Fund.</P>

solicitation material and will vote any shares so held for a Plan Participant only in accordance with the proxy returned by a Plan
Participant to the Fund. Upon a Plan Participant's written request, the Transfer Agent will deliver to a Plan Participant, without

if different, on the principal exchange for Fund shares) or otherwise on the open market of Fund shares for such Plan Participant's
account, regardless of whether there is a Market Parity or Premium or a Market Discount. The Plan Agent will purchase shares for
Plan Participants on or about the 15th of each month. Cash payments received by the Transfer Agent less than five business days
prior to a cash purchase investment date will be held by the Transfer Agent until the next month's investment date. Uninvested

the Plan by enrolling current shares owned by the Plan Participant with the Transfer Agent, participation in the dividend reinvestment
feature of the Plan begins with the next dividend or capital gains distribution payable after the Transfer Agent receives the Plan
Participant's written authorization, provided such authorization is received by the Transfer Agent prior to the record date for
such dividend or distribution. If such authorization is received after such record date, the Plan Participant's participation in
the dividend reinvestment feature of the Plan begins with the following dividend or distribution.</P>

representing all of the full shares held by the Transfer Agent on their behalf, or to instruct the Transfer Agent to sell such
full shares and distribute the proceeds, net of brokerage commissions, to such withdrawing Plan Participant. Withdrawing Plan Participants
will receive a cash adjustment for the market value of any fractional shares held on their behalf at the time of termination. Withdrawal

Implications of Reinvestment of Fund Shares.</B></FONT> <FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">Reinvestment of Fund shares does not relieve
Plan Participants from any income tax which may be payable on dividends or distributions. 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></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">The Fund&rsquo;s directors unanimously approved the
continuance of the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and Deutsche Asset Management International GmbH (&quot;Deutsche
AM International GmbH&quot;) (the &quot;agreement&quot;) at a meeting held on October 21, 2016. The Fund&rsquo;s directors simultaneously
approved the continuance of the administration agreement (the &quot;administration agreement&quot;) between the Fund and Deutsche
Investment Management Americas Inc. (&quot;DIMA&quot;), an affiliate of Deutsche AM International GmbH.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">In preparation for the meeting, the directors had
requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from Deutsche AM International GmbH, including performance and expense information
for other investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by Broadridge Financial Solutions,
Inc. (&quot;Broadridge&quot;). Prior to voting, the directors reviewed the proposed approval of the continuance of the agreement
with management, an independent consultant with extensive experience in the fund industry, and experienced Fund counsel and received
a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval of the continuance.
The directors also discussed the proposed approval in private sessions with their independent consultant and counsel at which no
representatives of Deutsche AM International GmbH or DIMA were present. In reaching their determination relating to approval of
the agreement, the directors considered all factors they believed relevant, including the following:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">1. information comparing the Fund&rsquo;s performance

Deutsche AM International GmbH and DIMA of recent developments relating to Deutsche Bank AG (&quot;Deutsche Bank&quot;), including
its ongoing restructuring and workforce reductions, and its various material legal and regulatory enforcement exposures, and management&rsquo;s
representation that such restructuring, workforce reductions and regulatory exposures were not expected to have any adverse effect
on the management or operations of the Fund or the quality of services provided by Deutsche AM International GmbH and DIMA to the
Fund, or result in any material changes to the personnel at Deutsche AM International GmbH and DIMA providing services to the Fund;

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">12. the terms of the agreement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">The directors also considered their knowledge of
the nature and quality of the services provided by DIMA and Deutsche AM International GmbH to the Fund gained from their experience
as directors of the European Equity Fund and the New Germany Fund and their confidence in Deutsche AM International GmbH&rsquo;s
integrity and competence gained from that experience and Deutsche AM International GmbH&rsquo;s responsiveness to concerns raised
by them in the past, including Deutsche AM International GmbH&rsquo;s willingness to consider and implement organizational and
operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">In their deliberations, the directors did not identify
any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each director attributed different weights to the various
factors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">The directors determined that the overall arrangements
between the Fund and Deutsche AM International GmbH, as provided in the agreement, were fair and reasonable in light of the services
performed, expenses incurred and such other matters as the directors considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.
The directors further determined that they were satisfied that the services provided by Deutsche AM International GmbH to the Fund
represented good value for the money payable to it by the Fund.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">The material factors and conclusions that formed
the basis for the directors&rsquo; reaching their determination to approve the continuance of the agreement (including their determinations
that Deutsche AM International GmbH should continue in its role as investment advisor for the Fund, and that the fees payable to
Deutsche AM International GmbH pursuant to the agreement are appropriate) were separately discussed by the directors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><B>Nature, Extent and
Quality of Services Provided by Deutsche AM International GmbH.</B></FONT> <FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">The directors noted that,
under the agreement, Deutsche AM International GmbH, in accordance with the Fund&rsquo;s investment objectives, policies and limitations,
makes all decisions with respect to suitable securities for investment by the Fund and transmits purchase and sale orders and selects
brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund. Deutsche AM International GmbH pays all of the compensation
of the Fund&rsquo;s directors and officers who are interested persons of Deutsche AM International GmbH.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">The directors considered
the scope and quality of services provided by Deutsche AM International GmbH under the agreement and noted that the scope of services
provided had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments. The directors also considered the commitment
of Deutsche AM International GmbH to, and the programs established by it with respect to, compliance, risk management, disclosure
and ethics. The directors considered the quality of the investment research capabilities of Deutsche AM International GmbH and
the other resources it has dedicated to performing services for the Fund. The quality of the advisory services provided also were
considered. The directors considered management&rsquo;s representation that the various recent developments affecting Deutsche
Bank were not expected to have any adverse effect on the management or operations of the Fund or the quality of services provided
by Deutsche AM International GmbH and DIMA to the Fund, or result in any material changes to the personnel at Deutsche AM International
GmbH and DIMA providing services to the Fund, and agreed that they would monitor the availability and dedication of resources to
the Fund going forward. The directors concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services
provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund under the agreement</FONT><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><B>.</B></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><B>Costs of Services
Provided and Profitability to Deutsche AM International GmbH.</B></FONT> <FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">At the request of the directors,
Deutsche AM International GmbH provided information concerning: its revenues, expenses, net income and financial condition for
2015; and information about revenues and expenses and the profitability of its relationship with the Fund in 2015. Similar information
was provided for DIMA. The directors reviewed the assumptions and methods of allocation used by Deutsche AM International GmbH
and DIMA in preparing Fund specific profitability data. Deutsche AM International GmbH 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 DIMA and Deutsche AM International GmbH where each of the clients draws on, and benefits from,
the research and other resources of the Deutsche Bank organization. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">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&rsquo;s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability
information, the directors considered the effect of possible fall-out benefits on Deutsche AM International GmbH&rsquo;s expenses,
including the fact that there were no affiliated brokerage commissions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">The directors noted that Deutsche AM International
GmbH may allocate brokerage to receive research generated by, or paid for by, executing brokers. They also noted that Deutsche
AM International GmbH has policies to prohibit consideration of the sale of shares of Deutsche funds when selecting broker dealers
to execute portfolio transactions for the Fund or other Deutsche funds.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">The directors recognized that Deutsche AM International
GmbH 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 Deutsche AM International GmbH&rsquo;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 Deutsche
AM International GmbH and DIMA and concluded that it was not excessive.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><B>Investment Results.</B></FONT>
<FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">In 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 closed-end fund with an objective similar to that of the Fund, the directors generally focus on
the Fund&rsquo;s performance based on net asset value compared to its benchmark when assessing investment results. The directors
also reviewed information showing the Fund&rsquo;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&rsquo;s benchmark index, since March 1, 2016, the MSCI Emerging Markets Europe ex Greece Index; from September 1, 2009 through
February 28, 2016, the MSCI Emerging Markets Europe Index; and prior thereto, a blend of 45% CECE index of 27 Central European
stocks, 45% RTX index of 12 Russian stocks and 10% ISE 30 index of 30 Turkish stocks. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">The comparative information showed that the Fund
underperformed its benchmark in the first nine months of 2016 and in 2014, but outperformed it in 2015 and 2013. Although the Fund
underperformed the benchmark in 2011, 2012 and 2008, it exceeded the performance of its benchmark from 2004 through 2007 and also
in 2009 and 2010. In assessing the Fund&rsquo;s performance in recent years the directors took into account the volatility of the
Russian and Turkish markets in recent years and the challenges this presented for the Fund&rsquo;s portfolio management team as
well as their general satisfaction with the Fund&rsquo;s performance following a change in the portfolio management team in late
2014. They also discussed the implications of the addition of Greece as a significant component to the Fund&rsquo;s former benchmark
in November 2013 and the fact that the Fund does not normally invest in Greece, as well as their approval of a change to the benchmark
to exclude Greece effective March 1, 2016. Taking into account these comparisons and the other factors considered, the directors
concluded that the Fund&rsquo;s investment results over time were satisfactory.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><B>Management and Investment
Advisory Fees and Other Expenses.</B></FONT> <FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">The directors considered the investment advisory fee
rates payable by the Fund to Deutsche AM International GmbH 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 there are no closed-end or open-end fund has a similar investment strategy as the Fund. The directors also considered
information provided by Deutsche AM International GmbH concerning the fee rates charged to other investment companies having somewhat
similar mandates as the Fund, as well as the representation by Deutsche AM International GmbH that it does not manage any other
institutional accounts that are similar to the Fund, and its 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 Deutsche AM International GmbH advises non-U.S. open-end funds that pay management fees that, while not entirely comparable
to the fees payable by the Fund to Deutsche AM International GmbH and DIMA, are substantially higher than the combined advisory
and administration fee rate paid by the Fund.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">The Fund&rsquo;s management expense comparison group
consisted of: nine emerging markets closed-end funds (including the Fund) and four open-end emerging markets funds (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 Deutsche AM International GmbH and DIMA are affiliated
companies. The directors noted that the combined advisory and administrative fee rate paid by the Fund in 2015 of 0.898% was below
the median fee rates of both comparison groups. The directors noted that the Fund&rsquo;s effective fee rate reflects the effect
of breakpoints. The directors also considered the Fund&rsquo;s total expense ratio in comparison to the fees and expenses of 59
closed-end international equity funds compiled by management based on Morningstar data. The directors also noted that the Fund&rsquo;s
expense ratio was below the median and average and in the second quartile of the comparison group. The directors concluded that
the Fund&rsquo;s expense ratio was satisfactory.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><B>Economies of Scale.</B></FONT>
<FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">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 Deutsche AM International GmbH 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 Deutsche AM International GmbH as assets increase, largely because economies of scale are
realized (if at all) by Deutsche AM International GmbH across a variety of products and services, and not only in respect of a
single fund. They also noted that the Fund&rsquo;s assets have diminished in recent years. Having taken these factors into account,
the directors concluded that the breakpoint arrangements in the agreement were acceptable under the Fund&rsquo;s circumstances.</FONT></P>

to resolve any controversy or claim between the parties arising out of or relating to the engagement letter or the services provided
there-under.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">In a letter provided to
the Audit Committee pursuant to PCAOB Rule 3526 and dated July 19, 2016, PwC informed the Audit Committee that PwC had identified
circumstances where PwC maintains lending relationships with owners of greater than 10% of the shares of certain investment companies
within the &#8220;investment company complex&#8221; as defined under Rule 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X. PwC informed the Audit
Committee that these lending relationships are inconsistent with the SEC Staff&#8217;s interpretation of Rule 2-01(c)(l)(ii)(A)
of Regulation S-X (referred to as the &#8220;Loan Rule&#8221;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Loan Rule specifically
provides that an accounting firm would not be independent if it receives a loan from a lender that is a record or beneficial owner
of more than ten percent of an audit client&#8217;s equity securities. For purposes of the Loan Rule, audit clients include the
Fund as well as all registered investment companies advised by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (the &#8220;Adviser&#8221;),
the Fund&#8217;s investment adviser, and its affiliates, including other subsidiaries of the Adviser&#8217;s parent company, Deutsche
Bank AG (collectively, the &#8220;Deutsche Funds Complex&#8221;). PwC&#8217;s lending relationships effect PwC&#8217;s independence
under the SEC Staff&#8217;s interpretation of the Loan Rule with respect to all investment companies in the Deutsche Funds Complex.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">In its July 19, 2016 letter,
PwC affirmed to the Audit Committee that, as of the date of the letter, PwC is an independent accountant with respect to the Fund,
within the meaning of PCAOB Rule 3520. In its letter, PwC also informed the Audit Committee that, after evaluating the facts and
circumstances and the applicable independence rules, PwC has concluded that with regard to its compliance with the independence
criteria set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC related to the Loan Rule, it believes that it remains objective and
impartial despite matters that may ultimately be determined to be inconsistent with these criteria and therefore it can continue
to serve as the Fund&#8217;s registered public accounting firm. PwC informed the Audit Committee that its conclusion was based
on a number of factors, including, among others, PwC&#8217;s belief that the lenders are not able to impact the impartiality of
PwC or assert any influence over the investment companies in the Deutsche Funds Complex whose shares the lenders own or the applicable
investment company&#8217;s investment adviser; and the lenders receive no direct benefit from their ownership of the investment
companies in the Deutsche Funds Complex in separate accounts maintained on behalf of their insurance contract holders. In addition,
the individuals at PwC who arranged PwC&#8217;s lending relationships have no oversight of, or ability to influence, the individuals
at PwC who conducted the audits of the Fund&#8217;s financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">On June 20, 2016, the SEC
Staff issued a &#8220;no-action&#8221; letter to another mutual fund complex (see Fidelity Management &amp; Research Company et
al., No-Action Letter) related to similar Loan Rule issues as those described above. In that letter, the SEC Staff confirmed that
it would not recommend enforcement action against an investment company that relied on the audit services performed by an audit
firm that was not in compliance with the Loan Rule in certain specified circumstances. The circumstances described in the no-action
letter appear to be substantially similar to the circumstances that effected PwC&#8217;s independence under the Loan Rule with
respect to the Fund. PwC confirmed to the Audit Committee that it meets the conditions of the no-action letter. In the no-action
letter, the SEC Staff stated that the relief under the letter is temporary and will expire 18 months after the issuance of the
letter.</P>

Voting Policy and Guidelines &#8211; AM (&#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, AM&#8217;s proxy policies reflect
the fiduciary standards and responsibilities for ERISA accounts.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify">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 AM with a comprehensive list of recommendations that represent how AM will generally vote proxies for
its clients. The recommendations derived from the application of these guidelines are not intended to influence the various AM
legal entities either directly or indirectly by parent or affiliated companies. In addition, the organizational structures and
documents of the various AM legal entities allows, where necessary or appropriate, the execution by individual AM subsidiaries
of the proxy voting rights independently of any DB 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 AM legal entities.</P>

on issuers and the value of the investments.</P>

to support the best economic interests of AM&#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 AM organization (but within Deutsche Bank and its affiliates)
or any entity that identifies itself as an AM 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 4.4) and will defer the approval, if
possible. Lastly, the GPVSC will fully document its rationale for approving any change to the Guidelines.</P>

that differs from the actual practices of the public company(ies) within the Deutsche Bank organization or of the investment companies
for which AM 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</P>

may differ from proposals for which an AM-advised or sponsored investment company solicits proxies from its shareholders. As reflected

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 AM. 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 AM without prior approval of Legal
and Compliance. They can have no contact with employees of Deutsche Bank outside of the Private Client and Asset Management division
(&#8220;PCAM&#8221;) 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 AM (and within AM only on a need to know basis).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify"><I>Conflict Review Procedures.</I> The Conflicts
of Interest Management Sub-Committee within AM monitors for potential material conflicts of interest in connection with proxy proposals
that are to be evaluated by the GPVSC. 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 AM 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: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify">The information considered by the Conflicts
of Interest Management Sub-Committee may include without limitation information regarding (i) AM 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 AM organization (but within Deutsche Bank and its affiliates) or any entity that identifies itself as an
AM 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: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify">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) AM 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: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 8.25pt 0 0; text-align: justify">If notified that AM 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>

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: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify">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 AM organization
(but within Deutsche Bank and its affiliates) or any entity that identifies itself as an AM advisory client, has: (i) requested
that AM, Proxy Vendor Oversight (or any member thereof) or a GPVSC member vote a particular proxy in a certain manner; (ii) attempted
to influence AM, 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: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify">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 AM 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 effected clients. These inquiries and discussions will be properly reflected in the
GPVSC&#8217;s minutes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify"><I>Duty to Report.</I> Any AM 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 AM organization (but within Deutsche Bank and its affiliates) or any entity that identifies
itself as an AM advisory client to influence, how AM 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: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify"><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: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify">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 Policy 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 effected clients and otherwise from ISS.</P>

</TABLE>
<P STYLE="font: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify"><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. However, the Chairman of the Board must have sufficient involvement in and experience with
the operations of the company to perform the functions required of that position and lead the company.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 8.25pt 0 0; text-align: justify">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: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0">Whether a Director is in fact not &#8220;independent&#8221; 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: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify"><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>

allowing companies to disclose the theoretical value of options as a footnote. Because the expensing of stock options lowers earnings,
most companies elect not to do so. Given the fact that options have become an integral component of compensation and their exercise
results in a transfer of shareholder value, AM agrees that their value should not be ignored and treated as &#8220;no cost&#8221;
compensation. The expensing of stock options would promote more modest and appropriate use of stock options in executive compensation
plans and present a more accurate picture of company operational earnings.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify"><U>Rationale</U>: In the wake of financial
reporting problems and alleged audit failures at a number of companies, AM 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>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 5pt 0 0; text-align: justify">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 AM 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: 9pt/11pt Arial,sans-serif; margin: 9.85pt 0 0; text-align: justify">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, AM could vote &#8220;for&#8221; staggered Boards of closed-end investment companies,
although AM generally votes &#8220;against&#8221; staggered Boards for operating companies. Further, the manner in which AM votes
investment company proxies may differ from proposals for which an AM-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>

DeAM will echo vote proxies for ETFs in which Deutsche Bank holds more than 25% of outstanding voting shares globally when required

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman,serif; margin: 9pt 0 3pt">Portfolio managers are paid on a Total Compensation basis,
which includes: (i) fixed pay (base salary), which is linked to job function, responsibilities and internal and external peer comparison,
and (ii) variable compensation, which is discretionary and linked to investment performance, individual contribution, and the overall
financial results of both Deutsche Asset Management and Deutsche Bank AG. Variable compensation can be delivered via a short-term
and/or long-term vehicle, namely cash, equity upfront awards, restricted equity awards, and/or restricted incentive awards. Additionally,
to better align the interests of investors and portfolio managers, a portion of the long term variable compensation that portfolio
managers receive will be designated for investments in shares of the funds they manage, where possible. Variable compensation comprises
a greater proportion of total compensation as the portfolio manager&#8217;s seniority and total compensation level increase. The
proportion of variable compensation delivered via a long-term incentive award, which is subject to clawback, increases significantly
as the amount of variable compensation increases. All variable compensation delivered via a long-term incentive award is subject
to clawback.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman,serif; margin: 9pt 0 3pt">To evaluate its investment professionals, Deutsche Asset Management
reviews investment performance for all accounts managed in relation to the appropriate Morningstar peer group universe with respect
to a fund, iMoneyNet peer group with respect to a money market fund or relevant benchmark index(es) set forth in the governing
documents with respect to each other account type. 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:</P>

The Advisor has in place a Code of Ethics that is designed to address conflicts of interest and that, among other things, imposes
restrictions on the ability of portfolio managers and other &#8220;access persons&#8221; to invest in securities that may be recommended

accounts managed by the Fund&#8217;s 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
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. <FONT STYLE="line-height: 115%">The investment results achieved for the Fund may differ from the results
achieved for other clients of the Advisor. </FONT>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
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 in the interest of achieving the
most favorable net results to the Fund and the other clients.</TD></TR></TABLE>

a long only or a long-short basis. 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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman,serif; margin: 9pt 0 3pt">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.</P>
