Page 3 / 7 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: DWS Aktien Strategie Deutschland Equity Funds - Germany Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review The Fed’s fourth rate hike, with a more hawkish Yellen than expected, ECB Draghi’s comments on reflationary forces, weakening economic data in the US, the strengthening euro, the falling oil price, the terror attack in London and mounting stress in Qatar resulted in weakening European equity markets in June. Strong economic data in the eurozone, Macron’s win of the French parliamentary election, bank rescues in Italy and Spain and the Fed’s green lights for US banks’ buyback and dividend plans were positive trends in June. In Germany the DAX lost 2.3%, the MDAX 2.7%, the SDAX 2.4% and the TecDAX 4.4%. In mid-June the DAX traded at a new all-time high above 12,900. Economic data in the eurozone remained supportive. In Germany the ifo index jumped from 114.6 to the record-high of 115.1. The eurozone Purchase Manager Index (PMI) for May rose to a six-year high of 57.0 from 56.7. European car sales improved strongly by 7.7% y/y. And eurozone Q1 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth was revised upwards to 0.6% q/q. Investors welcomed also political trends in the Eurozone and European equity funds continued to enjoy net inflows in June. Performance Attribution An underweight in shares of Bayer and BASF contributed favorably to the fund’s performance. A negative impact on the fund’s performance had the overweight position in shares of zooplus and Sartorius. Current Positioning The fund’s investment level was held stable at around 120%. We noticed Earnings per Share (EPS) upgrades in Eurozone along with positive earnings growth in most sectors. Investors have to worry less about political threats. Sector wise, there is no change in our positions. We stick to our selective export, IT, industrial and healthcare companies, with good growth prospects and rock solid balance sheets. We remain of the view that within the European equity universe, the German market will continue to outperform. We also maintain our exposure to small- and mid-caps within our portfolio. Outlook With positive global economic and sentiment data, and powerful worldwide M1 money growth we don’t see meaningful factors that could end the current cycle. Within European equities we notice the continued solid company results as the Q1 reporting season has come to an end. This quarter was particularly good for DAX companies. We also expect Q2 earning season to be solid. Low-yield environment remains a key bull trend for dividend-yield-rich equity markets and might result in further inflows to equity funds in the coming quarters. Faster pace of Fed hikes, increasing uncertainty about U.S. politics and its ability to deliver reforms as well as ultra-low volatility and unfavorable seasonality might work as a key headwinds in the coming months. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary. Page 4 / 7 Fund Management's Comment: DWS Aktien Strategie Deutschland Equity Funds - Germany Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund invests its assets in selected regions or sectors. This increases the risk that the fund may be negatively influenced by the economic and political conditions in the respective regions or sectors. • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital.

Page 3 / 5 18 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I Top Euroland Equity Funds - Europe Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review European equity markets ended the month of June with price gains. The Euro Stoxx 50 retreated 2.97%. The US Federal Reserve’s fourth rate hike, Mario Draghi’s indications of a potential forthcoming ECB policy change, weakening economic data in the US, the terror attack in London and mounting uncertainty in Qatar resulted in weaker European equity markets in June. Continued strong economic data in the eurozone, Macron’s win of the French parliamentary election and bank rescues in Italy and Spain were positive trends in June. On the sector level, foremost banks and insurance names as well as materials and commodities performed reasonably well. Telecommunication and retailers underperformed. Energy names were hit by the ongoing oil price weakness. The strategy of the fund remains focused on fundamental data and within that context primarily on above average earnings growth. Deutsche Invest I Top Euroland was down 2.72% at the end of the month. Performance Attribution The outperformance relative to Euro Stoxx 50 in June was to a certain extent a result of the overweight in financials and industrials. The underweight in healthcare was also a main positive attributor to relative performance. Single stock selection was the main driver in these sectors. Single stock selection in consumer discretionary and the underweight in utilities detracted from performance. Utilities benefited on the one hand from higher power prices, on the other hand from the positive court decision which confirmed that the German nuclear fuel tax is legal. On the country level, particularly Italy and Belgium were among the main positive drivers due to positive single stock selection. On the single stock level, Danish conglomerate A.P. Moeller-Maersk, Allianz and the major Italian bank Intesa Sanpaolo were among the names in the portfolio attributing the most. Current Positioning Deutsche Invest I Top Euroland was fully invested as of end of June. The sectors industry and financials have the highest overweight among others. In these sectors, the fund management focuses on structurally well-positioned companies that achieve above average earnings growth foremost due to their positioning or their end markets. The highest underweights are among others in consumer staples and in utilities. The expected earnings growth in these sectors is weaker than the earnings growth in the overall market. In healthcare, we see better investment alternatives within the sector aside from the index heavy weights. In consumer staples, the fund management sees less upside potential in comparison to other sectors. One reason among others is the relatively high valuation if one considers the low earnings growth. Outlook Markets continue to be strongly influenced by expected central bank policies as well as by political factors. In France, Macron’s party En Marche won the presidential elections. Macron stands for a closer European integration and a common eurozone budget. In Spain, struggling Banco Popular was saved by Santander. On the pure economic level, positive economic data in the euro area is supportive for equity markets. In Germany, the ifo index rose from 114.6 to an all-time high of 115.1. The purchasing manager index for the euro area improved from 56.7 to a six-year-high of 57.0. The growth of the eurozone economy in the first quarter was revised upwards to 0.6%. Against this backdrop, we stick to our overall strategy of focusing on structurally superior companies and companies with positive earnings momentum.

Page 4 / 5 19 Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I Top Euroland Equity Funds - Europe Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund invests its assets in selected regions or sectors. This increases the risk that the fund may be negatively influenced by the economic and political conditions in the respective regions or sectors. • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital. Page 5 / 5 20 Marketing Material Factsheet: Deutsche Invest II European Top Dividend Equity Funds - Europe June 2017 Fund Data Investment Policy As at 30/06/2017 Performance Performance - Share Class LC(EUR) (in %) Deutsche Invest II European Top Dividend provides an equity investment with opportunity for current income. The management invests primarily in the shares of European blue chips that have both aboveaverage dividend yields that are expected to increase and a reasonable payout ratio (percentage of annual profits distributed as dividends). However, investments are not made entirely on the basis of dividends – the companies also have to have solid fundamentals like quality balance sheets and business models. Only shares that pass this additional test have the chance to be included in the portfolio. Fund Fund Management's Comment Calculation of performance is based on the time-weighted return and excludes front-end fees. Individual costs such as fees, commissions and other charges have not been included in this presentation and would have an adverse impact on returns if they were included.

Page 3 / 5 23 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest II European Top Dividend Equity Funds - Europe Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review In June European equity markets performed negatively with MSCI Europe being down -2.45%. Italy was a relative outperformer with only being down -0.57%, whereas Spain was the weakest region with -3.35%. The Euro has strengthened further by 1.57% against the US Dollar and also the British Pound was with +0.41% slightly stronger versus the USD. The oil price (WTI) was down by 6.19%. From a sector perspective Financials were the only sector in positive territory (+0.76%), whereas Energy and Telecommunications were the weakest performers (both -5.3%). During June Deutsche Invest II European Top Dividend has lost 2.95%. Performance Attribution The best performing sectors have been Financials, followed by Consumer Discretionary and Industrials, whereas Consumer Staples, Telecommunication and Utilities have been weaker. From a single stock perspective key contributors have been Euler Hermes, Europcar and Gjensidige Forsikring, whereas National Grid, Deutsche Telecom and Imperial Brands had a negative contribution. Current Positioning During June we have increased our exposure to banks and mining while we have reduced positions in Consumer Staples and Utilities. Our current cash level is around 4.5%. Outlook Following an almost euphoric start into the year, the most recent macroeconomic data, most notably global leading indicators have eased versus Q1. In the meantime, market participants are worried about the future political development on both sides of the Atlantic. While sentiment improved after Emmanuel Macron’s election victory in France, there is still uncertainty with respect to the election in Germany and potential snap elections in Italy. Additionally, President Trump continues to cause confusion. Generally, we stay constructive for the year and expect mid to high single digit earnings growth. Hence, we abide moderate price appreciation at the global equity markets that should translate into mid-single digit returns. Consequently the importance of dividends is presumed to increase and dividend payments to contribute above average to the total return of the investment.

June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review European equity markets ended the month of June with moderate losses. The MSCI Europe fell 2.48%. The US Federal Reserve’s fourth rate hike, Mario Draghi’s indications of a potential forthcoming ECB policy change, weakening economic data in the US, the terror attack in London and mounting uncertainty in Qatar resulted in weaker European equity markets in June. Continued strong economic data in the eurozone, Macron’s win of the French parliamentary election and bank rescues in Italy and Spain were positive trends in June. On the sector level, foremost banks and insurance names as well as materials and commodities performed reasonably well. Telecommunication and retailers underperformed. Energy names were hit by the ongoing oil price weakness. The strategy of the fund remains focused on fundamental data and within that context primarily on above average earnings growth. DWS Top Europe was down 2.53% at the end of the month. Performance Attribution The minimal underperformance relative to MSCI Europe in June was to a certain extent a result of the underweight in consumer staples and the overweight in technology. The overweight in industrials and in healthcare resulted in positive attributions. Single stock selection was among the main drivers for this. On the regional level, particularly single stock selection in Denmark and Italy added to relative performance. The slight overweight in Spanish names detracted slightly from relative fund performance during the course of the month. On the single stock level, Danish conglomerate A.P. Moeller Maersk and the major Italian bank Intesa Sanpaolo were among the names in the portfolio attributing the most. Current Positioning DWS Top Europe was fully invested as of end of June. The sectors industry and healthcare have the highest overweight among others. In these sectors, the fund management focuses on structurally well-positioned companies that achieve above average earnings growth foremost due to their positioning or their end markets. The progressing digitalization of workflows in manufacturing and service companies leads to a steadily increasing need for capital expenditure. A selected group of conglomerates in the areas industrials benefits from this. The highest underweights are among others in consumer staples and telecommunication. In consumer staples, the fund management sees less upside potential in comparison to other sectors. One reason among others is the relatively high valuation if one considers the low earnings growth. Outlook Markets continue to be strongly influenced by expected central bank policies as well as by political factors. In France, Macron’s party En Marche won the presidential elections. Macron stands for a closer European integration and a common eurozone budget. In Spain, struggling Banco Popular was saved by Santander. On the pure economic level, positive economic data in the euro area is supportive for equity markets. In Germany, the ifo index rose from 114.6 to an all-time high of 115.1. The purchasing manager index for the euro area improved from 56.7 to a six-year-high of 57.0. The growth of the eurozone economy in the first quarter was revised upwards to 0.6%. Against this backdrop, we stick to our overall strategy of focusing on structurally superior companies and companies with positive earnings momentum.

Risks • The fund invests its assets in selected regions or sectors. This increases the risk that the fund may be negatively influenced by the economic and political conditions in the respective regions or sectors. • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital.

Page 3 / 5 34 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: DB Global Equity Income Equity Funds - Global Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review The US Federal Reserve’s fourth rate hike and indications of a potential forthcoming policy change by the ECB led together with weakening economic data in the US and a lower oil price to slightly weaker European equity markets in June. Combined with a further increase of the euro, the fund experienced a price loss. Regionally, European equity markets retreated the most, while most Asian Pacific markets remained rather stable. On the sector level, foremost financials gained, but also healthcare, while the defensive sectors telecommunication, utilities and consumer staples saw the highest losses. In addition, the technology sector underperformed in the past month after a long period of positive performance. Performance Attribution Relative to the broad equity market, the fund was hit by its high weighting in the sectors consumer staples, telecommunication and utilities. The underweight in financials also detracted from performance. In contrast, the underweight in technology added to performance. On the single stock level, US-Bank JPMorgan Chase, chemical group LyondellBasell and Canadian energy infrastructure company Transcanada delivered positive contributions to performance, while consumer goods group Unilever and US telecommunication group Verizon detracted most from performance. Current Positioning The positioning of the fund is generally long-term and accordingly only changes gradually during the course of a month. The focus is on companies with above average, growing and sustainable dividend payments with solid balance sheets, strong management teams and attractive valuations. The fund management once again added to the US technology group HP Inc. in June. Overall, we continue to stick to our overweight in defensive sectors such as consumer staples, telecommunication as well as utilities and the underweight in financials and consumer discretionary. Outlook Following an almost euphoric start to the year, the most recent macroeconomic data and leading indicators show a deterioration. First and foremost, consumer confidence declined slightly from a very high level, despite continuously low unemployment. After the US interest hike last month, the market expects one additional increase in interest rates by the Federal Reserve in the second half of the year. The monetary policy discussion in Europe shifts to the question when and to what extent the European Central Bank is going to start tapering the bond-buying program. With the start of the reporting season for the second quarter 2017, the market will probably focus on sales and earnings development of the companies as well as on the guidance for the second half of the year in the coming weeks. We expect that the optimistic outlook after the reporting season for the first quarter will be generally confirmed by the companies. In the meantime, however, we have seen time and again uncertainty among market participants regarding future political developments on both sides of the Atlantic. While Macron’s win in the elections has improved sentiment in Europa, geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East and East Asia seem to have increased. Generally, we remain constructive for the year and expect mid- to high-single-digit earnings growth. Hence, we expect moderate price gains in global equity markets for 2017. That should translate into mid single-digit total returns. Consequently, the importance of dividends is presumed to increase and dividend payments are presumed to contribute above average to the total return of the investment.

Risks • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • The seeks to generate income from dividends, i.e. from expected distributions per equity. If a company distributes a smaller dividend than expected or no dividend at all, this can have a negative impact on the value of equities or derivatives. • The fund invests in bonds, the value of which depends on whether the issuer is able to afford its payments. The deterioration of credit quality (ability and willingness to repay) may have an adverse affect on the value of the bond. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time.

Page 3 / 5 39 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I Top Dividend Equity Funds - Global Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review In June, global equity markets continued to trade down. The MSCI World index was down -1.16% denominated in Euro. All regions finished the month lower, while Emerging Market was the best market on a relative basis (-0.52% in Euro). The US were the second best performer with the S&P 500 down 0.93% in Euro terms. Japan closed also lower with the Nikkei 225 down 1.02% over the last month. The worst regional market was the UK FTSE which underperformed the global equity market and ended the month down 3.08% in Euro. Europe’s performance was also weak on a relative basis with the EURO STOXX 50 -2.93%. The German DAX index also underperformed and finished the month of June 2.30% lower. On a sector level, Financials was the best performing sector (+3.18%) reversing the underperformance of the last month. Health Care (+1.16%) continued its strong momentum from the previous months. Materials also outperformed globally being flat in Euro terms (±0.00%). On the other hand, the Telecommunication Service sector ended the month -4.47% lower and was the largest underperformer. Utilities underperformed (-3.91%) reversing the outperformance from May. Information Technologies lost momentum and finished the month lower (-3.83% in Euro) for the first time since June 2016. The US Dollar weakened by -1.3% during June (measured by the US Dollar Index). In terms of other currencies, the Euro appreciated on a broad basis, +1.62% against the US Dollar, +3.08% against the British Pound and +0.55% against the Japanese Yen. The oil price (WTI) was down again this month -6.19% in Euro terms. During June the Deutsche Invest I Top Dividend was down by -2.36%. Performance Attribution From a sector allocation point of view, the largest positive contribution to the relative return, measured against the broad market, was obtained by the current positioning and stock selection in Information Technology. Additionally, the positioning in Energy and Consumer Discretionary contributed positively to relative return. Negative contributions came from under weights in Financials and over weights in Consumer Staples as well as stock selection in Health Care. Although we refer to relative returns and weightings, the broad market should not be considered as the benchmark for the fund. From a single stock level, the largest positive contribution came from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Gjensidige Forsikring and TransCanada Corp. On the other hand, Unilever N.V., Roche Holding AG and Imperial Brands plc were a drag to performance. Current Positioning During June we have increased our exposure to Information Technology, Real Estate and Industrials. On the other hand, we have reduced our exposure to Consumer Staples and Materials. Over the last month we have kept our cash position and the degree of investment in the fund stable. Overall, our current cash level is still relatively high (around 11.5% including bonds which we use as a cash substitute) and we are waiting for further opportunities to increase our investment level. Outlook By the end of the Q1 2017 earnings season a constructive picture with regards to business activity materializes. Most of the companies that already reported their results could surprise positively on revenues as well as earnings. Especially for the financials- and industrials sector earnings expectations had to be revised upwards. In total, the companies provided an optimistic outlook for the current fiscal year. Following an almost euphoric start into the year, the most recent macroeconomic data, most notably the leading indicators, were weaker than expected. First and foremost, consumer confidence declined despite continuously low unemployment. After the interest hike in the US last month, the market expects one additional increase in interest rates by the Federal Reserve in 2017. In Europe interest rates should continue to remain low. In the meantime, market participants are worried about the future political development on both sides of the Atlantic. While sentiment improved after Emmanuel Macron’s election victory in France, there is still uncertainty with respect to the elections in Germany and potential snap elections in Italy. Generally, we stay constructive for the year and expect mid to high single digit earnings growth. Hence, we abide moderate price appreciation at the global equity markets that should translate into mid-single digit returns. Consequently the importance of dividends is presumed to increase and dividend payments to contribute above average to the total return of the investment.

Page 4 / 5 40 Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I Top Dividend Equity Funds - Global Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • The seeks to generate income from dividends, i.e. from expected distributions per equity. If a company distributes a smaller dividend than expected or no dividend at all, this can have a negative impact on the value of equities or derivatives. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital.

Page 3 / 5 44 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: DWS Akkumula Equity Funds - Global Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review Global equity markets in June were driven by rising rates in the US and Europe as well as by the depreciation of the US dollar. The US dollar lost two percent against the euro in June, year-to-date the loss amounts to even 9 %. This change in currency rates weighed foremost on European stock markets. The Eurostoxx 50 lost 3.2% in June. Particularly export-oriented companies saw stronger price losses, as the US dollar slump might cause headwinds regarding competitiveness and export opportunities. Naturally, this could support US companies. Consequently, the S&P 500 (in USD) gained 0.5%. The Japanese stock market showed a similar development as it surged due to the further depreciation of the yen (Topix in JPY: +2.8%). In euro terms, however, nearly all regions were in negative territory due to the euro strength. Higher interest rates affected the performance in different sectors. As such, financials were up significantly, as higher interest rates should be positive for interest rate margins and accordingly for bank profits. In addition, US banks benefited from recent stress tests, which showed that their balance sheets are overcapitalized so that higher dividend payments and share buy backs are possible. In reverse, particularly those sectors which usually serve as bonds proxies due to their solid cash flows and returns came under pressure. Among those are utilities and telecoms, which broadly underperformed in June. One exception were healthcare names, which attracted new buyers due to after several weak months attractive valuations. In contrast, the surge in technology names since the beginning of the year led to profit takings. The picture for commodities was mixed. While oil and precious metals were significantly down, soft commodities and industrials showed solid gains. Performance Attribution DWS Akkumula lost 1.1% in June, and was thus in line with MSCI World (total return, in EUR), which was down by 1.0%. Year-to-date, the fund is still ahead of its benchmark. Generally speaking, June was a very balanced month regarding relative performance. Particularly the high weighting in healthcare names added to performance after their dry spell in the past months. This showed especially in biotech names owned by the fund. In contrast, contribution of traditional pharma companies was rather neutral. In technology, single stock selection paid off. Several names with higher weightings in the portfolio saw losses, but particularly positions in semiconductor companies and Asian internet names added to fund performance. The underweight in energy was also positive on a relative basis, as the decreasing oil price still weighed on companies in this sector. Consumer names showed slight weakness as concerns over Amazon’s market power have now reached the food market after the industry giant had announced the takeover of a supermarket chain. The underweight in commodities also did not pay off, as higher prices for industrial metals in June also lifted stock prices of mining companies. As Tobacco companies are often seen as a bond proxy and interest rates were rising, names in the funds from this sector experienced price losses, too. This was a drag on performance. Current Positioning The positioning of the fund is generally long-term and accordingly only changes gradually during the course of a month. The focus on companies with sustainable, growth-oriented business models, solid balance sheets, strong management and attractive valuations still determines the portfolio composition. Accordingly, the focus is on technology names with high innovative capacity, consumer companies with strong brands and healthcare names with comprehensive research capacities and new drugs in the pipeline. In contrast, companies from the commodity and energy sector are only selectively represented, as a lack of CAPEX discipline and the direct dependency on commodity prices often have a negative effect on equity price performance. Changing interest rate markets, particularly in the US, lead to a gradual adjustment of the positions in financials. A sustained increase of interest rates changes the attractiveness of several segments of this sector, which now has a slight overweight. The overweight in healthcare has also been increased again, particularly because valuations are compelling in comparison to other defensive sectors. There are still no larger active currency positions. Outlook Despite arising uncertainties regarding upcoming political events as well as the economic situation in key countries, the overall picture remains cautiously constructive. Headwinds caused by the strong US dollar and weak energy prices for certain industries are still noticeable in the US; the employment situation as well as consumer sentiment, however, continue to be positive. In addition, there are hopes of a new economic policy program under US president Trump. This should deliver sufficient impetus for a solid economic growth in the US. The economic situation in Europe has stabilized. But the fiscal consolidation does not allow for much growth momentum. Furthermore, Brexit might lead to uncertainty in Europe. The impact of this on economic growth has still not become clear. Emerging markets still face large challenges, but should in all likelihood remain another driver of global economic growth, but rather in the mid term. Short-term volatility in emerging markets investments is certainly to be expected going forward as well. We will continue to monitor the current geopolitical situation very closely. There is another aspect: At historically still low interest rates and with the above average positive performance of many bond markets in the last years, investors around the globe are searching for yield. The rotation from bonds into equities due to the lack of investment alternatives can at least strategically continue to support equity markets. Prerequisite for this is that the central banks continue their expansive policy. The odds for this continue to be favorable, particularly in Europe. Relevant inflows in equity funds or changes in the asset allocation of insurers and pension funds are therefore still to be monitored closely. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary.

Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • The fund may also invest in assets that are not denominated in euro. This can result in your investment falling in value if the euro exchange rate against these currencies increases. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital.

Page 3 / 5 49 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: DWS Global Value Equity Funds - Global Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review The month of June was slightly positive for global equity markets. The value part of the market was up + 1.41% (in USD) and outperformed the broad market, which stood at +0.42% (in USD). However, the year-to-date trend could not be completely reversed within a month. Since January of this year MSCI World Value has still underperformed MSCI World by more than 300 basis points. The US-Dollar depreciated again versus euro. Including currency effects, the MSCI World Index was down 1.13% in EUR terms. The MSCI World Value Index was down by 0.16% (in EUR). DWS Global Value was up by 1.00% and accordingly outperformed its benchmark. On a sector basis, financials, healthcare and materials were the best performers, while telecommunication, information technology and utilities lagged. Performance Attribution The fund’s outperformance relative to the market was the result of a positive allocation and a very positive single stock selection effect. The underweight as well as the single stock selection in information technology and the overweight in financials were the main positive attributors. The positioning in the sector consumer staples also had a positive effect on relative fund performance. Single stock selection as well as the overweight in energy had a negative effect. Current Positioning We slightly adjusted our overall positioning in June. We added to the sectors industrials and materials. In industrials, we built positions in a Japanese construction equipment manufacturer and a German conglomerate. In addition, we included positions in an Irish producer of building materials and in a British-Australian mining group. To fund our new positions fund management continued to reduce positions in the consumer staples universe. In a market with overall high valuations, relative valuation differentials also play an important role in our stock selection process. Our main goal remains to identify healthy business models that currently trade below historical valuations (absolute and relative) which offer sound mid – long term growth prospects. The fund has an overweight position in the automotive sector where we see valuation discrepancies versus other cyclical sectors. Outlook The current macro data is still mixed in the US and solid in Europe. Data out of China also remains broadly supportive. We foresee another year of extended volatility. Leading indicators in the US and China are currently consolidating. The fund is positioned to benefit from higher interest rates in the US and marginally higher energy prices. The base case scenario remains a slow but constant acceleration of economic growth. The portfolio composition is therefore rather offensive. The main risks should come from political instability and growth disappointment. Stock specific risks could also negatively impact the fund’s performance.

Page 3 / 5 54 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: DWS Top Dividende Equity Funds - Global Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review In June, global equity markets continued to trade down. The MSCI World index was down -1.16% denominated in Euro. All regions finished the month lower, while Emerging Market was the best market on a relative basis (-0.52% in Euro). The US were the second best performer with the S&P 500 down 0.93% in Euro terms. Japan closed also lower with the Nikkei 225 down 1.02% over the last month. The worst regional market was the UK FTSE which underperformed the global equity market and ended the month down 3.08% in Euro. Europe’s performance was also weak on a relative basis with the EURO STOXX 50 -2.93%. The German DAX index also underperformed and finished the month of June 2.30% lower. On a sector level, Financials was the best performing sector (+3.18%) reversing the underperformance of the last month. Health Care (+1.16%) continued its strong momentum from the previous months. Materials also outperformed globally being flat in Euro terms (±0.00%). On the other hand, the Telecommunication Service sector ended the month -4.47% lower and was the largest underperformer. Utilities underperformed (-3.91%) reversing the outperformance from May. Information Technologies lost momentum and finished the month lower (-3.83% in Euro) for the first time since June 2016. The US Dollar weakened by -1.3% during June (measured by the US Dollar Index). In terms of other currencies, the Euro appreciated on a broad basis, +1.62% against the US Dollar, +3.08% against the British Pound and +0.55% against the Japanese Yen. The oil price (WTI) was down again this month -6.19% in Euro terms. During June the DWS Top Dividende was down by -2.34%. Performance Attribution From a sector allocation point of view, the largest positive contribution to the relative return, measured against the broad market, was obtained by the current positioning and stock selection in Information Technology. Additionally, the positioning in Energy and Consumer Discretionary contributed positively to relative return. Negative contributions came from under weights in Financials and over weights in Consumer Staples as well as stock selection in Health Care. Although we refer to relative returns and weightings, the broad market should not be considered as the benchmark for the fund. From a single stock level, the largest positive contribution came from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Gjensidige Forsikring and TransCanada Corp. On the other hand, Unilever N.V., Roche Holding AG and Imperial Brands plc were a drag to performance. Current Positioning During June we have increased our exposure to Information Technology, Real Estate and Industrials. On the other hand, we have reduced our exposure to Consumer Staples and Materials. Over the last month we have kept our cash position and the degree of investment in the fund stable. Overall, our current cash level is still relatively high (around 11.5% including bonds which we use as a cash substitute) and we are waiting for further opportunities to increase our investment level. Outlook By the end of the Q1 2017 earnings season a constructive picture with regards to business activity materializes. Most of the companies that already reported their results could surprise positively on revenues as well as earnings. Especially for the financials- and industrials sector earnings expectations had to be revised upwards. In total, the companies provided an optimistic outlook for the current fiscal year. Following an almost euphoric start into the year, the most recent macroeconomic data, most notably the leading indicators, were weaker than expected. First and foremost, consumer confidence declined despite continuously low unemployment. After the interest hike in the US last month, the market expects one additional increase in interest rates by the Federal Reserve in 2017. In Europe interest rates should continue to remain low. In the meantime, market participants are worried about the future political development on both sides of the Atlantic. While sentiment improved after Emmanuel Macron’s election victory in France, there is still uncertainty with respect to the elections in Germany and potential snap elections in Italy. Generally, we stay constructive for the year and expect mid to high single digit earnings growth. Hence, we abide moderate price appreciation at the global equity markets that should translate into mid-single digit returns. Consequently the importance of dividends is presumed to increase and dividend payments to contribute above average to the total return of the investment.

Risks • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • The seeks to generate income from dividends, i.e. from expected distributions per equity.

Page 3 / 5 59 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: DWS Vermögensbildungsfonds I Equity Funds - Global Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review Global equity markets in June were driven by rising rates in the US and Europe as well as by the depreciation of the US dollar. The US dollar lost two percent against the euro in June, year-to-date the loss amounts to even 9 %. This change in currency rates weighed foremost on European stock markets. The Eurostoxx 50 lost 3.2% in June. Particularly export-oriented companies saw stronger price losses, as the US dollar slump might cause headwinds regarding competitiveness and export opportunities. Naturally, this could support US companies. Consequently, the S&P 500 (in USD) gained 0.5%. The Japanese stock market showed a similar development as it surged due to the further depreciation of the yen (Topix in JPY: +2.8%). In euro terms, however, nearly all regions were in negative territory due to the euro strength. Higher interest rates affected the performance in different sectors. As such, financials were up significantly, as higher interest rates should be positive for interest rate margins and accordingly for bank profits. In addition, US banks benefited from recent stress tests, which showed that their balance sheets are overcapitalized so that higher dividend payments and share buy backs are possible. In reverse, particularly those sectors which usually serve as bonds proxies due to their solid cash flows and returns came under pressure. Among those are utilities and telecoms, which broadly underperformed in June. One exception were healthcare names, which attracted new buyers due to after several weak months attractive valuations. In contrast, the surge in technology names since the beginning of the year led to profit takings. The picture for commodities was mixed. While oil and precious metals were significantly down, soft commodities and industrials showed solid gains. Performance Attribution DWS Vermögensbildungsfonds I lost 1.1% in June, and was thus in line with MSCI World (total return, in EUR), which was down by 1.0%. Year-to-date, the fund is still ahead of its benchmark. Generally speaking, June was a very balanced month regarding relative performance. Particularly the high weighting in healthcare names added to performance after their dry spell in the past months. This showed especially in biotech names owned by the fund. In contrast, contribution of traditional pharma companies was rather neutral. In technology, single stock selection paid off. Several names with higher weightings in the portfolio saw losses, but particularly positions in semiconductor companies and Asian internet names added to fund performance. The underweight in energy was also positive on a relative basis, as the decreasing oil price still weighed on companies in this sector. Consumer names showed slight weakness as concerns over Amazon’s market power have now reached the food market after the industry giant had announced the takeover of a supermarket chain. The underweight in commodities also did not pay off, as higher prices for industrial metals in June also lifted stock prices of mining companies. As Tobacco companies are often seen as a bond proxy and interest rates were rising, names in the funds from this sector experienced price losses, too. This was a drag on performance. Current Positioning The positioning of the fund is generally long-term and accordingly only changes gradually during the course of a month. The focus on companies with sustainable, growth-oriented business models, solid balance sheets, strong management and attractive valuations still determines the portfolio composition. Accordingly, the focus is on technology names with high innovative capacity, consumer companies with strong brands and healthcare names with comprehensive research capacities and new drugs in the pipeline. In contrast, companies from the commodity and energy sector are only selectively represented, as a lack of CAPEX discipline and the direct dependency on commodity prices often have a negative effect on equity price performance. Changing interest rate markets, particularly in the US, lead to a gradual adjustment of the positions in financials. A sustained increase of interest rates changes the attractiveness of several segments of this sector, which now has a slight overweight. The overweight in healthcare has also been increased again, particularly because valuations are compelling in comparison to other defensive sectors. There are still no larger active currency positions. Outlook Despite arising uncertainties regarding upcoming political events as well as the economic situation in key countries, the overall picture remains cautiously constructive. Headwinds caused by the strong US dollar and weak energy prices for certain industries are still noticeable in the US; the employment situation as well as consumer sentiment, however, continue to be positive. In addition, there are hopes of a new economic policy program under US president Trump. This should deliver sufficient impetus for a solid economic growth in the US. The economic situation in Europe has stabilized. But the fiscal consolidation does not allow for much growth momentum. Furthermore, Brexit might lead to uncertainty in Europe. The impact of this on economic growth has still not become clear. Emerging markets still face large challenges, but should in all likelihood remain another driver of global economic growth, but rather in the mid term. Short-term volatility in emerging markets investments is certainly to be expected going forward as well. We will continue to monitor the current geopolitical situation very closely. There is another aspect: At historically still low interest rates and with the above average positive performance of many bond markets in the last years, investors around the globe are searching for yield. The rotation from bonds into equities due to the lack of investment alternatives can at least strategically continue to support equity markets. Prerequisite for this is that the central banks continue their expansive policy. The odds for this continue to be favorable, particularly in Europe. Relevant inflows in equity funds or changes in the asset allocation of insurers and pension funds are therefore still to be monitored closely. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary. Page 4 / 5 60 Fund Management's Comment: DWS Vermögensbildungsfonds I Equity Funds - USA Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital.

Management invests mainly in the shares of US companies that have both above-average dividend yields that are expected to increase and a reasonable payout ratio (percentage of annual profits distributed as dividends). In addition, the Fund management must believe that the company's fundamentals, such as the business model and balance sheet quality, are in order.

Page 3 / 5 65 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest II US Top Dividend Equity Funds - USA Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review In June the US market didn’t move a lot. The economic data was mixed and therefore a further catalyst for the raising market was missing. Strong leadership change in the sector performance occurred as Technology stocks took a deep breath. High volatility experienced also the Consumer sector as after the announcement of Whole Foods take out by Amazon, the concern became big, that grocery retailers are the next, who will be destructed by Amazon. On another hand raising interest rates and positive outcome of a stress test for banks supported the Financial sector. The Financial sector was the strongest performer in anticipation of the change in the interest rate trend. A strong rebound experienced Health Care and Materials sectors. On the opposite, defensive sectors Telecom and Utilities were quite weak. S&P 500 finished the month up +0.48% in USD (-1.07% in EUR). During June, the Deutsche Invest II US Top Dividend was down -0.8% in EUR. Performance Attribution From a sector allocation and best selection point of view, the largest positive contribution to the relative return, measured against the broad market, was obtained by the current underweights in Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Energy. The avoidance of high exposure to those sectors helped again to minimize volatility of the overall fund as we usually see it during sector or market reversals. An overweight in Health Care was a positive contributor. Negative contributors were an underweight in Financials and an overweight in Consumer Staples. Although we refer to relative returns and weightings, the broad market should not be considered as the benchmark for the fund. On a single stock level, the largest contribution came from H&R Block, Amgen and Oracle. On the other hand, Texas Instruments, Verizon and Wal-Mart were negative contributors to performance. Current Positioning The fund focuses on high dividend-yield and dividend-growth companies with moderate pay-out ratios, strong balance sheets and cash flow, stable or expanding business model, and strong management. During June we have increased our exposure to Financial and Energy sectors and decreased positions in Technology and Consumer. Overall, our current cash level was maintained. Outlook Since the U.S. election, optimism and growth expectations increased dramatically. With increased expectations, the stock market multiple expanded to historically elevated levels. Optimism has yet to be confirmed by tangible measures by the new government to boost the economy. At the same time, uncertainty remains on U.S. trade- and foreign policy, high corporate debt levels, and rising wages impacting corporate margins. Consequently, from a performance perspective we see limited price appreciation potential for U.S. equities from multiple expansion this year, and expect a larger part of total return to come from dividends. We therefore continue to focus on companies providing defensive characteristics, quality, and a sustainable dividend. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary. Page 4 / 5 66 Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest II US Top Dividend Equity Funds - Asia Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund invests its assets in selected regions or sectors. This increases the risk that the fund may be negatively influenced by the economic and political conditions in the respective regions or sectors. • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • The seeks to generate income from dividends, i.e. from expected distributions per equity. If a company distributes a smaller dividend than expected or no dividend at all, this can have a negative impact on the value of equities or derivatives. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital.

Page 3 / 5 71 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I Top Asia Equity Funds - Asia Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review Emerging Markets outperformed Developed Markets for the sixth consecutive month, supported by the continued weakness of the U.S. Dollar, global liquidity and robust macro fundamentals. Overall, China and Taiwan were the strongest market performance drivers, while South Korea and Japan were the weakest ones. From an Asian sector perspective, Information Technology and Financials outperformed, while Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples underperformed. Performance Attribution In June 2017, the Deutsche Invest I Top Asia decreased 0.30%, in-line with its benchmark, which decreased 0.30%. Positive attribution was primarily driven by the underweight exposure to South East Asian countries and stock selection in China/Hong Kong. The best contributors to relative performance were Alibaba, Asahi Kasei Corp and Dai-Ichi Life Holdings. Negative attribution was driven by stock selection South Korea/Taiwan and by holding cash. Current Positioning At the beginning of this month we are overweight China, Japan and South Korea. We are overweight Information Technology, Financials and Materials, while Industrials, Utilities and Consumer Discretionary are our biggest underweight sectors. Outlook Following a good performance in the first six months of the year, we remain constructive on the outlook for Emerging Markets as the global macroeconomic environment has improved and earnings have broadly revealed positive surprises. Our outlook is supported by the fact that, despite investors have recognized the improved fundamentals, Emerging Markets do not appear a crowded space. A sharp U.S. Dollar appreciation, political uncertainty and commodity weakness are the major risk factors in the short term. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary. Page 4 / 5 72 Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I Top Asia Equity Funds - Asia Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund invests its assets in selected regions or sectors. This increases the risk that the fund may be negatively influenced by the economic and political conditions in the respective regions or sectors. • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • The fund invests in bonds, the value of which depends on whether the issuer is able to afford its payments. The deterioration of credit quality (ability and willingness to repay) may have an adverse affect on the value of the bond. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital.

The management invests primarily in the shares of Asian companies that have both aboveaverage dividend yields that are expected to increase and a reasonable payout ratio (percentage of annual profits distributed as dividends). However, investments are not made entirely on the basis of dividends – the companies also have to have solid fundamentals like quality balance sheets and business models. Only shares that pass this additional test have the chance to be included in the portfolio.

Page 3 / 5 76 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest II Asian Top Dividend Equity Funds - Asia Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review Global equity markets were down in EUR terms in June with the Federal Reserve delivering the third rate hike in six months. Emerging Markets (EM) edged past Developed Markets for the sixth month in a row, as investor inflows to EM equities sustained at a steady pace on account of continued weakness in USD. A basket of EM currencies stayed flat vs. the USD, with the Mexican Peso and Czech Koruna being the best performers, while commodity currencies lagged as most hard commodities remained under pressure. Brent Crude fell as the OPEC production cut plan proved to be ineffective to address concerns over the supply-demand mismatch. The U.S. market was down in EUR terms, while the Developed European markets have suffered even more. Taiwan, Mexico, as well as smaller markets like Indonesia, Hungary, and Turkey were among the best performing markets, whereas again Russia, Brazil, South Africa, and India were among the laggards. Sector-wise, Tech, Healthcare and Real Estate outperformed in June, with Energy and Consumers being the worst performers. Performance Attribution The fund was slightly down this month, less than the wider comparable market. Positive Selection in defensive sectors such as Consumer Staples and Telecoms was offset by negative Allocation in Information Technology and Utilities. On a single stock level, among the best performers were China Construction Bank, Samsonite International, KT&G, Minor International. Laggards were Chunghwa Telecom, Delta Electronic, LG Chem and Guangdong Investment. Current Positioning The fund focuses on high dividend-yield and high dividend-growth companies with moderate pay-out ratios, strong balance sheets and cash flow, stable or expanding business model, and strong management. From a sector perspective, our biggest underweights are in Cyclicals (e.g. Information Technology, Energy, and Consumer Discretionary). Our largest overweights are in Defensives (e.g. Consumer Staples, Telecoms, and Utilities). On a country level, we are overweight Taiwan, Singapore, and Thailand. Our biggest underweights are India and South Korea. Outlook We expect Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in Asian Markets to maintain a superior growth rate relative to Developed Markets, albeit at a slower pace than in the past. Downside risks remain in the form of potential setbacks in the European fiscal situation, US government budget and interest rate decisions, and concerns on debt-levels, currency, and a slowdown in China’s economy. If cyclical improvement unfolds, we believe Asian Markets could be major beneficiaries in a recurring risk-on environment on the basis of capital inflows and comparatively attractive valuations. Fund management continues to actively seek attractive investment opportunities. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary.

Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • The seeks to generate income from dividends, i.e. from expected distributions per equity. If a company distributes a smaller dividend than expected or no dividend at all, this can have a negative impact on the value of equities or derivatives. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has significantly elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time.

Investor profile: Risk-tolerant The Fund is intended for the risk-tolerant investor who, in seeking investments that offer targeted opportunities to maximize returns, can tolerate the unavoidable, and occasionally substaintial, fluctuations in the values of speculative investments. The high risks from volatility, as well as high credit risks, make it probable that the fund will lose value from time to time, and expectations of high returns and tolerance of risk are offset by the possibility of incurring significant losses of capital invested.

Page 2 / 4 80 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Nomura Japan Growth Equity Funds - Asia Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review The Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX) advanced by 2.78% in June 2017 to close the month at 1,611.90. Japanese stock prices advanced early in the month in response to strong US and Chinese economic indicators. The rise in the main US equity indexes also supported the Japanese stock market gains. However, profit-taking weighed on the Japanese equity market as the Nikkei 225 index approached the psychological milestone of the JPY20,000 level. Investors later took a more risk-averse attitude due to weaker than expected US Employment Statistics in May, which also weighed on the stock market. On 14th June, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) decided to raise its policy interest rates. Although the FRB’s rate hike decision was expected, it prompted awareness of the long-term interest rate gap as bond yield spreads between Japan and the US widened. So, after a brief sell off caused by appreciation of the Japanese yen against the US dollar, the equity market rebounded. Following comments from the European Central Bank, which were thought to signal plans to begin winding down the quantitative monetary easing policy, US, European and Japanese long-term interest rates increased. Japanese financial stocks, which benefit from higher long-term interest rates rallied. However, the equity market continued to move in a box range toward the end of the month. In terms of the TSE 33 industry classifications, 31 sectors appreciated in June. These included Banks, where a rise in interest rates is expected to contribute to profit growth. On the other hand, the Foods sector was one of the two industry sectors that fell, reflecting concerns about earnings growth after the positive impact from lower raw materials prices came to an end. Performance Attribution The value of the fund appreciated by +2.81% (FC share class in Yen) in June 2017 but slightly underperformed the reference index (TOPIX Total Return Index). Our overweight positions in underperforming sectors such as Electric Appliances detracted from the performance this month. Five stocks that made the largest positive contributions in June were PEPTIDREAM, Murata Manufacturing, T & D Holdings, Sony and Panasonic. Five stocks that detracted most from the relative performance were Tokyo Electron, Haseko, Japan Tobacco, Yamada Denki and KAO. Current Positioning In terms of major trades, we added an information & communication stock to the portfolio based on expectations of earnings growth over the medium to long term. In its overseas business, profitability is improving and the company is expanding its business area, especially IT services, in Japan. We sold the position in a pharmaceutical company based on recent share price gains driven by expectations for new medicines under development. Outlook The latest value of the Preliminary Industrial Production Index declined. Industrial production is expected to improve at a moderate pace along with a recovery in domestic and foreign demand despite short-term volatility. Manufacturing Production is expected to increase June 2017, then weakening in July 2017. Corporate earnings are expected to rise by +11.2%. Amid signs that domestic and overseas economic recoveries could support the business results of manufacturing companies, corporate earnings are expected to grow. Moreover, earnings for the fiscal year ended March 2019 are forecast to have grown. The Japanese economy continued to expand at a moderate pace. Economic indicators since April 2017 have been relatively robust, so we believe the economy will continue its moderate expansion into the second half of the year. Annual JGB purchases have declined to the 50 trillion JPY to 60 trillion JPY level under the “yield curve control” policy targeting interest rates. This confirms that the Bank of Japan’s policy of guiding interest rates to a suitable level is having the effect of reducing JGB purchases. Although growth in consumer prices remains at the zero% level, a moderate rise in consumer prices is assumed for the time being. The current loose monetary policy is likely to be maintained, which will remain in effect throughout the forecast period. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary.

Page 2 / 4 84 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: DWS Top Asien Equity Funds - Asia Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review Emerging Markets outperformed Developed Markets for the sixth consecutive month, supported by the continued weakness of the U.S. Dollar, global liquidity and robust macro fundamentals. Overall, China and Taiwan were the strongest market performance drivers, while South Korea and Japan were the weakest ones. From an Asian sector perspective, Information Technology and Financials outperformed, while Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples underperformed. Performance Attribution In June 2017, the DWS Top Asien decreased 0.45%, underperforming its benchmark, which decreased 0.30%. Positive attribution was primarily driven by the underweight exposure to South East Asian countries and stock selection in China/Hong Kong. The best contributors to relative performance were Alibaba, Asahi Kasei Corp and Dai-Ichi Life Holdings. Negative attribution was driven by stock selection South Korea/Taiwan and by holding cash. Current Positioning At the beginning of this month we are overweight China, Japan and South Korea. We are overweight Information Technology, Financials and Materials, while Industrials, Utilities and Consumer Discretionary are our biggest underweight sectors. Outlook Following a good performance in the first six months of the year, we remain constructive on the outlook for Emerging Markets as the global macroeconomic environment has improved and earnings have broadly revealed positive surprises. Our outlook is supported by the fact that, despite investors have recognized the improved fundamentals, Emerging Markets do not appear a crowded space. A sharp U.S. Dollar appreciation, political uncertainty and commodity weakness are the major risk factors in the short term. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary. Page 3 / 4 85 Fund Management's Comment: DWS Top Asien Equity Funds - Emerging Markets Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund concludes derivative transactions with various contractual partners to a significant extent. A derivative is a financial instrument whose value depends on the development of one or more underlyings. Due to its structure (e.g. due to leverage), it may have a stronger impact on the fund than is the case if an underlying instrument is acquired directly. • The fund invests its assets in selected regions or sectors. This increases the risk that the fund may be negatively influenced by the economic and political conditions in the respective regions or sectors. • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • The fund invests in emerging markets. Investing in assets from the emerging markets generally entails a greater risk (potentially including considerable legal, economic and political risks) than investing in assets from the markets of established countries. • The fund invests in the People's Republic of China. Investments in the People's Republic of China are associated with risks resulting from the special legal, political and economic environment. The future political direction of the Chinese government is uncertain, there is the risk of negative performance due to government interventions and restrictions. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital.

Page 3 / 5 90 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I Chinese Equities Equity Funds - Emerging Markets Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review During the month, we reduced weights to some infrastructure stocks and switched to properties, Internet and education, all of which exhibit stronger earnings outlook. Our underweights in large sectors such as energy, financials and telecommunication as well as overweights in certain IT (information technology) sub-sectors contributed positively, whereas stock selection in consumer discretionary hurt performance. Performance Attribution MSCI China advanced in June. The PBOC (People's Bank of China) eased liquidity pressure in the banking system through open market operations, alleviating market concerns. MSCI’s decision to include A-Shares into its index next year also provided positive sentiment. IT (Information technology) outperformed strongly, thanks to positive earnings surprises in their 1Q’17 (the first quarter of 2017) earnings. We had overweight positions in certain IT sub-sectors, with holdings in both the leading ecommerce companies and leading smart-phone component producers contributing positively. Materials also did well as commodity prices remained solid. We had a neutral position in the sector. We were underweight certain sectors which declined during the month, including consumer staples, energy, telecommunication and financials. These sectors lack earnings catalysts and our underweights contributed positively. Economic data in May were mixed but remained solid. Industrial production growth rebounded from 3.3%yoy (year-on-year) in April to 5.6%yoy in May. On the investment front, real estate investments fell mom (month-on-month) due to a decline in funding as the result of the government’s tightening measure. Infrastructure investments growth also slowed from 17.4%yoy in April to 13.1%yoy in May, as the local governments have taken more control over the financing of infrastructure projects through PPP (private-public-partnership). Inflation remained contained with the CPI (consumer price index) standing at 1.5%yoy in May, slightly higher than 1.4%yoy in April. New RMB (Renminbi) loans in May were solid. M2 growth went down slightly from 10.5%yoy in April to 9.6%, indicating slightly tighter money supply. Current Positioning Key overweights: • Consumer discretionary: we are positive on auto stocks that are expected to deliver strong sales growth driven by new models, as well as online travel, e-ecommerce and education stocks. • Health care: solid growth outlook driven by ageing population; concerns on price cut largely in the price; the new National Reimbursement Drug List provides catalyst for companies with innovative new drugs. • Utilities: positive on coal-fired power companies with catalysts including declining coal prices, potential tariff hike in Q4 (fourth-quarter), and SOE (state-owned enterprise) reform. Key underweights: • IT (Information technology): mainly due to single-stock limit on two large-cap stocks; we are gradually overweight other IT stocks and remain positive on long-term outlook for the sector. • Financials: mainly underweight banks due to lack of earnings upside. • Energy: weak outlook for crude oil price due to inventory concerns in the US. Outlook China's economic growth is expected to slow in 2H’17 (the second half of 2017) as: 1) the PPI (producer price index) has peaked in February 2017 given the slower progress in supply-side reform this year and decelerating property and infrastructure investments in the context of financial deleveraging. 2) GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth would decelerate in 2H’17 following the trending down of PPI as lower PPI would discourage some macro activities (e.g. restocking) and affect corporate earnings. Nevertheless, 6.5% should be the baseline of GDP growth that the Chinese government targets on. If the GDP growth declines below this level, the government might slow down the progress in financial deleveraging. So, although liquidity is likely to remain relatively tight in the second half of the year, we believe that the government would continue to fine-tune its money supply through open market operation to ensure corporate funding costs not increasing too fast. In essence, stability is the main target for Chinese government policy this year. After the strong rally year-to-date, we expect Chinese stocks to consolidate in the coming 1-2 months. However, we do not expect the correction to be very deep given the solid macro outlook and continuing recovery in corporate earnings. We prefer growth stocks to cyclical stocks. We remain positive on investment themes such as consumption upgrade (e.g. auto, smart-phone supply chain), online travel, ecommerce, online social networking, education and health care.

Risks • The fund invests in emerging markets. Investing in assets from the emerging markets generally entails a greater risk (potentially including considerable legal, economic and political risks) than investing in assets from the markets of established countries. • The fund invests in the People's Republic of China. Investments in the People's Republic of China are associated with risks resulting from the special legal, political and economic environment.

The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Risk-tolerant The Fund is intended for the risk-tolerant investor who, in seeking investments that offer targeted opportunities to maximize returns, can tolerate the unavoidable, and occasionally substaintial, fluctuations in the values of speculative investments. The high risks from volatility, as well as high credit risks, make it probable that the fund will lose value from time to time, and expectations of high returns and tolerance of risk are offset by the possibility of incurring significant losses of capital invested.

June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review Global equity markets were down in EUR terms in June with the Federal Reserve delivering the third rate hike in six months. Emerging Markets (EM) edged past Developed Markets for the sixth month in a row, as investor inflows to EM equities sustained at a steady pace on account of continued weakness in USD. A basket of EM currencies stayed flat vs. the USD, with the Mexican Peso and Czech Koruna being the best performers, while commodity currencies lagged as most hard commodities remained under pressure. Brent Crude fell as the OPEC production cut plan proved to be ineffective to address concerns over the supply-demand mismatch. The U.S. market was down in EUR terms, while the Developed European markets have suffered even more. Taiwan, Mexico, as well as smaller markets like Indonesia, Hungary, and Turkey were among the best performing markets, whereas again Russia, Brazil, South Africa, and India were among the laggards. Sector-wise, Tech, Healthcare and Real Estate outperformed in June, with Energy and Consumers being the worst performers. Performance Attribution The fund was down this month, slightly more than the wider comparable market. Positive Selection in Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary was offset by negative Allocation in Information Technology and Telecoms. On a single stock level, among the best performers were again ITC and KT&G, as well as Samsonite, Grupo Aeroport del Sureste and Philip Morris Czech Republic. Laggards were Delta Electronic, Guangdong Investment, Chunghwa Telecom, and CLP Holdings. Current Positioning The fund focuses on high dividend-yield and high dividend-growth companies with moderate pay-out ratios, strong balance sheets and cash flow, stable or expanding business model, and strong management. From a sector perspective, our biggest underweights are in Cyclicals (e.g. Information Technology, Materials, Energy, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials). Our largest overweights are in Defensives (e.g. Consumer Staples, Telecoms, and Utilities). On a country level, we are overweight Taiwan and Czech Republic. Our biggest underweights are India, South Africa and Poland. Outlook We expect Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in Emerging Markets to maintain a superior growth rate relative to Developed Markets, albeit at a slower pace than in the past. Downside risks remain in the form of potential setbacks in the European fiscal situation, US government fiscal and interest rate decisions, and concerns on debt-levels, currency, and a slowdown in China’s economy. If cyclical improvement unfolds, we believe Emerging Markets could be major beneficiaries in a recurring risk-on environment on the basis of capital inflows and comparatively attractive valuations. Fund management continues to actively seek attractive investment opportunities. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary. Page 4 / 5 96 Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I Emerging Markets Top Dividend Equity Funds - Emerging Markets Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • The fund invests in emerging markets. Investing in assets from the emerging markets generally entails a greater risk (potentially including considerable legal, economic and political risks) than investing in assets from the markets of established countries. • The seeks to generate income from dividends, i.e. from expected distributions per equity. If a company distributes a smaller dividend than expected or no dividend at all, this can have a negative impact on the value of equities or derivatives. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has significantly elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Risk-tolerant The Fund is intended for the risk-tolerant investor who, in seeking investments that offer targeted opportunities to maximize returns, can tolerate the unavoidable, and occasionally substaintial, fluctuations in the values of speculative investments. The high risks from volatility, as well as high credit risks, make it probable that the fund will lose value from time to time, and expectations of high returns and tolerance of risk are offset by the possibility of incurring significant losses of capital invested.

Page 3 / 5 100 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I Global Emerging Markets Equities Equity Funds - Emerging Markets Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review Emerging Markets outperformed Developed Markets for the sixth consecutive month, supported by the continued weakness of the U.S. Dollar, global liquidity and robust macro fundamentals. Overall, China, Taiwan and Mexico were the strongest market performance drivers, while South Africa and Brazil were the weakest ones. From a global sector perspective, Information Technology and Health Care outperformed, while Consumer Discretionary and Energy, underperformed. Performance Attribution In June 2017, the Deutsche Invest I Global Emerging Markets fund decreased 1.71%, underperforming the benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets index, which decreased 0.41%. Positive attribution was primarily driven by our underweight positioning in South East Asian countries, non-exposure to Qatar as well a stock selection in Russia. The best contributors to relative performance were Samsung Electronics, Catcher Technology and Anhui Conch. Negative attribution was mainly driven by our stock selection in the Information technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors, as well as exposure to Argentina. Stock wise, PetroChina and Pampa Energia were the major disruptors to relative performance. Current Positioning At the beginning of this month we are overweight China and Argentina. We are overweight Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary, while Financials, Industrials and Telecommunication Services are our biggest underweight sectors. Outlook Following a good performance in the first six months of the year, we remain constructive on the outlook for Emerging Markets as the global macroeconomic environment has improved and earnings have broadly revealed positive surprises. Our outlook is supported by the fact that, despite investors have recognized the improved fundamentals, Emerging Markets do not appear a crowded space. A sharp U.S. Dollar appreciation, political uncertainty and commodity weakness are the major risk factors in the short term. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary.

In keeping with this orientation, the Fund’s currency positions are nearly all in Renminbi. Bond investments are made in Chinese issuers in Renminbi (or hedged in RMB) and in global issuers in RMB. The focus is on bonds with good to very good credit ratings. Fund Fund Management's Comment Deutsche Invest I China Bonds was up 0.41% in USD terms. The CNH depreciated 0.49% against USD over the month. Macro data released in June showed that China’s economic momentum remained solid. Both production and market demand improved, as demonstrated by the increase of the production and new order index. June CPI remained low at 1.5%, unchanged from May. Both retail sales and industrial production (IP) remained stable in May and unchanged from April. Meanwhile, total social financing (TSF) growth expanded at 14.5%. The slowdown in M2 growth reflects deleveraging within the financial system. Going into 2H, we expect the growth momentum to moderate as the fiscal support scales back and tightening of liquidity continues. The primary dim sum bond issuance picked up in June. The market saw bond issuance of CNH9bn in June, up from CNH3.16bn in May. CD issuance was CNH9bn in June, slightly lower than CNH9.88bn in May. Chinese government auctioned CNH7bn bond. Foreign banks also tapped the dim sum bond market. USD bond issuance remained active with $23.5bn issuance. For China City Construction, we have received 65.32% total put proceeds.

Page 3 / 5 106 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I China Bonds Bond Funds - Emerging Markets/ High Yield Corporate Bonds Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review The fund returned 0.41% in June. Net of CNH(offshore RMB) depreciation (0.51%), the fund returned 0.92% in CNH; outperformed the FTSE–BOCHK Offshore RMB Bond Index by 0.24%. Spread tightened 1bp in June mainly due to the sharp fall in oil prices which put pressure on commodity bonds, hawkish European Central Bank and Bank of Japan whispering about balance sheet shrinkage, while China’s Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data in June showed solid growth momentum. The JACI Index returned 0.21% over the month, Pakistan (1.33%) and Vietnam (0.93%) outperformed the market as Pakistan is expected to receive stronger support from China through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and Vietnam’s economy is expected to rebound for the improvement in manufacturing output; Mongolia (-1.17%) underperformed the market as Mr. Erkhbold (the appointee from the ruling Mongolian People’s Party) didn’t reach majority of the votes in the first round of presidential election as expected by investors. Turning to the CNH bond market, the FTSE-BOCHK Offshore RMB Bond Index returned 0.68% in June. The policy support of the CNH market has been weaker as China is more focused on opening the onshore bond market through the bond connect. The liquidity of CNH market remained tight despite a stable RMB and the high funding rate would not be eased along with the tight liquidity which discouraged both CNH bond issuance and investment. The primary dim sum bond issuance picked up in June. The market saw bond issuance of CNH9bn in June, up from CNH3.16bn in May. Certificate of Deposit (CD) issuance was CNH9bn in June, slightly lower than CNH9.88bn in May. Chinese government auctioned CNH7bn bond. Foreign banks, such as Societe Generale and Export Development Canada, also tapped the dim sum bond market. USD bond issuance remained active with $23.5bn issuance. Hilong (250mn), Dr. Peng (500mn) and Melco Resorts (1,650mn) tapped the bond market. Evergrande also issued $6.6bn multi-tranche bond. Performance Attribution Over the month, our CNH bonds exposure was 35.40%, (vs. 46.23% last month). USD China High Yield (HY) property exposure was 8.03% (vs. 8.09% last month). Market trading technical turned weak after Treasury yield went up to 3.39% level (induced by tempering tone of ECB) and a bigger-than-expected China HY new issuance. The softness induce more investors to cut risk before half-year-end. The fund returned -0.51% USD terms excluding hedging gains, of which China returned -0.65% as the region underperformer. The outperformer was Others (developed markets; DM), returned +0.04%. On sector basis, “Bank & Financial” outperformed and returned +0.17%. On the other hand, “Construction, Materials, Equipment and Cement” and “Property” underperformed and returned -0.71% and -0.09% each. On security basis, 5 IG USD bonds have made to the top-10 performance contributors, 1 USD HY bonds have shown strong performance too. The remaining were 4 CNH bonds. Current Positioning Asian primary market has resumed with busy schedules; despite strong supply, new deals were well absorbed by market and some came with little or no concessions. Overall, we were mindful of stretched valuations and only participated in selective new issues where we see attractive values. Asian credits continued to see divergent performance. IG spreads remained well supported, while HY space felt heavy despite sector spreads stabilised from large widening previous month. We maintain our preference on quality given the expensive spread level. We were also active in managing portfolio duration amid the volatilities. We reduced our portfolio duration when 10yr US treasury rate moved to the lowest level this year in the middle of month. Given our more positive view on RMB exchange rate, we are comfortable to hold on our CNH positions. Outlook Global bond markets saw mixed performance in June as developed market government bond yields moved higher; US outperformed with modest gains while Europe posted negative returns. Emerging markets credit spreads tightened over the month, which helped to defy treasury rate move and generate positive returns. As widely expected, the Federal Reserve delivered the second interest hike this year in its June meeting. In addition, the Fed provided more detail on how it will unwind its $4.5 trillion balance sheet, which market now expects to happen as early as September but in a very gradual way. Hawkish comments from ECB/BoE caused some concerns over faster withdrawal of monetary stimulus from global central banks and pushed 10yr treasury yield higher from the lowest level this year, however, it is still well within the 2.2-2.6% tradingrange. In the short term, we remain cautious on valuations as spreads have reached tight level. We expect more volatility down the road in both interest rates and credit spreads. On the currency front, USD continued to be under pressured against major currencies with DXY index dropped below 96 for the first time since last October. Chinese authority’s newly introduced countercyclical factor was proved to be effective in reducing exchange rate volatility. With strong policy support, we expect RMB exchange rate to stabilise further in the near term. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary. Page 4 / 5 107 Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I China Bonds Bond Funds - Emerging Markets/ High Yield Corporate Bonds Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund invests in the People's Republic of China. Investments in the People's Republic of China are associated with risks resulting from the special legal, political and economic environment. The future political direction of the Chinese government is uncertain, there is the risk of negative performance due to government interventions and restrictions. • The fund invests in bonds, the value of which depends on whether the issuer is able to afford its payments. The deterioration of credit quality (ability and willingness to repay) may have an adverse affect on the value of the bond. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has significantly elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Risk-tolerant The Fund is intended for the risk-tolerant investor who, in seeking investments that offer targeted opportunities to maximize returns, can tolerate the unavoidable, and occasionally substaintial, fluctuations in the values of speculative investments. The high risks from volatility, as well as high credit risks, make it probable that the fund will lose value from time to time, and expectations of high returns and tolerance of risk are offset by the possibility of incurring significant losses of capital invested.

In keeping with this orientation, the Fund’s currency positions are nearly all in Renminbi. Bond investments are made in issuers in Renminbi (or hedged in RMB). The focus is on bonds with a lower credit rating to profit from higher yields. Fund Fund Management's Comment Deutsche Invest II China High Income Bonds was up 0.35% in USD terms. The CNH depreciated 0.49% against USD over the month. China IG continued to trade with strong technical regardless of the underlying treasury volatility. Persistent inflows and a 15bps pullback in treasuries kept buyers engaged. Spreads for China IG was largely unchanged over the month, but China HY traded down 1-2pts. In the short term, we remain cautious on valuations as they have reached tight levels. We expect more volatility down the road in both interest rates and credit spreads. Macro data released in June showed that China’s economic momentum remained solid. Both production and market demand improved, as demonstrated by the increase of the production and new order index. June CPI remained low at 1.5%. Both retail sales and industrial production remained stable in May. Meanwhile, total social financing growth expanded at 14.5%. The slowdown in M2 growth reflects deleveraging within the financial system. Going into 2H, we expect the growth momentum to moderate as the fiscal support scales back and tightening of liquidity continues. For China City Construction, we have received 65.32% total put proceeds. Calculation of performance is based on the time-weighted return and excludes front-end fees. Individual costs such as fees, commissions and other charges have not been included in this presentation and would have an adverse impact on returns if they were included.

Page 3 / 5 111 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest II China High Income Bonds Bond Funds - Emerging Markets/ High Yield Corporate Bonds Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review Deutsche Invest II China High Income Bonds returned 0.35% in June. Net of CNH (offshore Renminbi (RMB)) depreciation, the fund returned 0.86%, outperformed the JACI High Yield Corporate Index which returned 0.03%. Year to date (YTD), the fund returned 10.18%. Net of CNH appreciation, the fund returned 7.38%, outperformed the JACI High Yield Corporate Index which returned 3.17%. Spread tightened 1bp in June mainly due to the sharp fall in oil prices which put pressure on commodity bonds, hawkish European Central Bank and Bank of Japan whispering about balance sheet shrinkage, while China’s Purchasing Managers Index(PMI) data in June showed solid growth momentum. The JACI Index returned 0.21% over the month, Pakistan (1.33%) and Vietnam (0.93%) outperformed the market as Pakistan is expected to receive stronger support from China through the ChinaPakistan Economic Corridor and Vietnam’s economy is expected to rebound for the improvement in manufacturing output; Mongolia (-1.17%) underperformed the market as Mr. Enkbhold (the appointee from the ruling Mongolian People’s Party) didn’t reach majority of the votes in the first round of presidential election as expected by investors. Turning to the CNH bond market, the FTSE-BOCHK Offshore RMB Bond Index returned 0.68% in June. The policy support of the CNH market has been weaker as China is more focused on opening the onshore bond market through the bond connect. The liquidity of CNH market remained tight despite a stable RMB and the high funding rate would not be eased along with the tight liquidity which discouraged both CNH bond issuance and investment. In China, macro data released in June showed that China’s economic momentum remained solid. Manufacturing Purchasing Manager Index (PMI) accelerated to 51.7 in June from 51.2 in May. Non-Manufacturing PMI also rose to 54.9 in June from 54.5 in May, suggesting that services activity expanded at a faster pace. Performance Attribution Over the month, China High Yield property exposure was at 22.89% (vs. 20.32% last month). Market trading technical turned weak after Treasury yield went up to 3.39% level (induced by tempering tone of ECB) and a bigger-than-expected China HY new issuance. The softness induce more investors to cut risk before half-year-end. The fund returned 0.21% in USD terms excluding hedging gains, of which China returned -0.47% and was the region underperformer. The outperformer was Others (DM) returned +0.10%. On sector basis, “Bank & Financial” outperformed and returned +0.19%. On the other hand, “Construction, Materials, Equipment and Cement” and “Property” underperformed and returned 0.33% and -0.26% each. On security basis, 3 IG USD bonds have made to the top-10 performance contributors, 5 USD HY bonds have shown strong performance too. The remaining were 2 CNH bonds. Current Positioning Asian primary market has resumed with busy schedules; despite strong supply, new deals were well absorbed by market and some came with little or no concessions. Overall, we were mindful of stretched valuations and only participated in selective new issues where we see attractive values. Asian credits continued to see divergent performance. IG spreads remained well supported, while HY space felt heavy despite sector spreads stabilised from large widening previous month. We maintain our preference on quality given the expensive spread level. We were also active in managing portfolio duration amid the volatilities. We reduced our portfolio duration when 10yr US treasury rate moved to the lowest level this year in the middle of month. Outside China, Indian credits performed well, helping some corporates to print in the primary market. Indonesia credits came under some pressures but Indonesia HY corporates fared slightly better. Having reduced some of our exposure previously, we remain comfortable on selective Indian and Indonesia HY bonds as they benefit from strong economic environments and those bonds offer yield pick-up versus the Chinese HY property counterpart. Given our more positive view on RMB exchange rate, we are comfortable to hold on our CNH positions. Outlook Global bond markets saw mixed performance in June as developed market government bond yields moved higher; US outperformed with modest gains while Europe posted negative returns. Emerging markets credit spreads tightened over the month, which helped to defy treasury rate move and generate positive returns. As widely expected, the Federal Reserve delivered the second interest hike this year in its June meeting. In addition, the Fed provided more detail on how it will unwind its $4.5 trillion balance sheet, which market now expects to happen as early as September but in a very gradual way. Hawkish comments from ECB/BoE caused some concerns over faster withdrawal of monetary stimulus from global central banks and pushed 10yr treasury yield higher from the lowest level this year, however, it is still well within the 2.2-2.6% trading range. In the short term, we remain cautious on valuations as spreads have reached tight level. We expect more volatility down the road in both interest rates and credit spreads. On the currency front, USD continued to be under pressured against major currencies with DXY index dropped below 96 for the first time since last October. Chinese authority’s newly introduced countercyclical factor was proved to be effective in reducing exchange rate volatility. With strong policy support, we expect RMB exchange rate to stabilise further in the near term. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary. Page 4 / 5 112 Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest II China High Income Bonds Bond Funds - Corporate Bonds Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund invests in the People's Republic of China. Investments in the People's Republic of China are associated with risks resulting from the special legal, political and economic environment. The future political direction of the Chinese government is uncertain, there is the risk of negative performance due to government interventions and restrictions. • The fund invests in bonds, the value of which depends on whether the issuer is able to afford its payments. The deterioration of credit quality (ability and willingness to repay) may have an adverse affect on the value of the bond. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has significantly elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Risk-tolerant The Fund is intended for the risk-tolerant investor who, in seeking investments that offer targeted opportunities to maximize returns, can tolerate the unavoidable, and occasionally substaintial, fluctuations in the values of speculative investments. The high risks from volatility, as well as high credit risks, make it probable that the fund will lose value from time to time, and expectations of high returns and tolerance of risk are offset by the possibility of incurring significant losses of capital invested.

The major part of the portfolio is invested in "investment grade" bonds. Fund Fund Management's Comment Politics dominated the markets in early June; The UK parliamentary election’s surprising result, and the loss of the Conservative party majority in the House of Commons is likely to affect the Brexit negotiations. In addition, a Conservative leadership challenge cannot be ruled out. The risk of early elections in Italy was called off as the largest parties could not agree on the necessary changes to the electoral law yet. Finally, President Macron’s party En Marche won the majority in parliamentary seats with a comfortable margin. So much welcomed stability on the political front. The broadening economic recovery in the EU, was mirrored by the comments of ECB’s president Draghi at the forum in Sintra, Portugal, where he gave strong indications that the ECB is contemplating ending quantitative easing in the near to mid future. This led to a significant shift in Bund yields throughout all maturities. Still, spread products behaved strongly in spite of the yield volatility. On an index level, € Iboxx Corporate All had a performance of 0,56% in June (YTD 0.6%). Deutsche Invest Euro Corporate Bonds lost 0.36% in June (YTD 1.25%) on the back of the government bond selloff.

Page 3 / 5 117 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I Euro Corporate Bonds Bond Funds - Corporate Bonds Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review It has been a strong first half Euro Investment Grade (IG) credit with a total return of 0.65% outperforming Euro government bonds by over 2% according to the BofA Merrill Lynch Euro Corporate Index. The index is 21Bp tighter compared to government bonds and stands at 102Bps, but still well off the tights of March 2015 (89Bp). Best performing sector by a decent margin, was subordinated insurance- The sector tightened 77Bp and returned an impressive 6.7%, compared to € high yield which generated 4.1% in return. Second best performing sub segment was corporate hybrids (IG only), which generated 5.7% and tightened 46Bp. Financials and banks in general benefitted from the easing of political risk in the Eurozone, better earnings and a friendlier interest rate curve, outperformed non financials (-17Bp vs -5Bp). When stripping out the subordinated banks (-35Bp), senior banks tightened 7Bp, whereas senior non-financials were only 2Bp tighter. Deutsche Invest Euro Corporate Bonds also had a good first half, returning 1.25% outperforming the benchmark by 65Bp after fees. We were affected by the selloff in government bonds in June loosing 36Bp, but still outperforming the benchmark by 0.2%. Again in June financials were our best performers, accounting for half the outperformance, with subordinated insurance being particularly strong. Despite the write down of Italian and Spanish lower tier2’s in the wake of the respective bank bail outs, our overweight (OW) in the segment again added to performance. Utility was our second best performing sector, with the corporate hybrids leading the way, but we also gained via our OW in a recent spinoff from French electricity giant EDF. In general French credits was our best performing region and we expect that the higher yield brought out French insurers and pension funds in large numbers. Furthermore, the clear victory of En Marche probably gave rise to renewed optimism for France. Performance Attribution Please see performance review. Current Positioning As we head into the doldrums of summer we continue to feel comfortable holding a fair amount of risk in the portfolio. Barring any unknown unknowns we believe that the largest risk to Euro IG over the summer probably comes from a further large correction in Euro government bond yields. At least for the moment 10 year German rates appear to have found a level around 0.5% and if we can hold this level we should have a quiet 2 months ahead of us. Towards the end of June we took profit and reduced our OW in subordinated insurance paper, to market weight as we felt that the sector had performed phenomenally during the first half. We have our OW in both bank and non-financial subordinated paper as we continue to like the European bank sector as well selected corporate hybrids. Both sub-segments also have the advantage of lower interest sensitivity, in case we a further selloff in bunds. For the time being we are maintaining the OW in Emerging Markets as we have yet to see any spill over from the higher yields in US treasuries, which normally has a negative influence on the asset class. But rising geopolitical tension and the somewhat softer US macroeconomic indicators, should be able to keep the yield rise capped for the moment. We have not made any larger changes to the sector allocation in non-financials, but it is worth mentioning that we have kept in OW in oil and gas, as the rebound at the end of June was encouraging and we still see value in the bonds. Outlook July marks the proper start of summer and at least on the political front things should quiet down noticeably. The Federal Reserve meets at the end of the month (26th), with an almost certainty that we will see no change. Yellen’s semi-annual Humphrey Hawkins address in from of both houses promises to be more interesting. On the 20th the ECB meets, and the meeting could be the pivotal event of the month in lieu of the rates volatility at the end of the month. The volatility was set off by the aforementioned comments from Draghi and the recent hints of an increase in inflation despite partly weaker commodity prices. The market will be hungry for clarification on the ECB’s intentions regarding potential tapering. In general, and for our market in particular, it is important that we have stability in government bonds and that would initially require that we can hold the 0.5% yield for 10 year German Bund. Half year 2017 earnings will kick off in earnest on the 14th, where the US money centre banks (Citi, JP Morgan and Wells Fargo) will report. According to Factset the estimated growth rate for earnings for S&P 500 companies in Q2 is 6.6% (year over year), with energy again being the strongest sector followed by information technology and financials. July’s political highlight is likely to be the G 20 summit in Hamburg; Trump’s first international appearance since he bowed out of the Paris climate accord. Furthermore, he is scheduled to hold his first (official) face to face with President Putin. The summit begins on the 7th. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary. Page 4 / 5 118 Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I Euro Corporate Bonds Balanced Funds - Flexible Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund concludes derivative transactions with various contractual partners to a significant extent. A derivative is a financial instrument whose value depends on the development of one or more underlyings. Due to its structure (e.g. due to leverage), it may have a stronger impact on the fund than is the case if an underlying instrument is acquired directly. • The fund invests in bonds, the value of which depends on whether the issuer is able to afford its payments. The deterioration of credit quality (ability and willingness to repay) may have an adverse affect on the value of the bond. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital. Page 5 / 5 119 Balanced Funds Flexible Marketing Material Factsheet: Deutsche Invest II Multi Opportunities Total Return Balanced Funds - Flexible June 2017 Fund Data Investment Policy As at 30/06/2017 Performance Performance - Share Class LD(EUR) (in %) The objective of the investment policy is to achieve a positive investment performance. In order to achieve this, the fund invests variably worldwide in the entire spectrum of permissible investment categories/instruments of all asset classes. An opportunistic management approach is used, i.e. the fund management assesses the performance of various investment classes and investment instruments. Depending on the selection of the investments, the investment structure of the fund can vary from an investment that is more bond-dependent through to an exclusively equity-oriented investment. Fund Fund Management's Comment In June, both global equity markets and global bond markets were moderately weaker (MSCI World -1.2% in Euro, Barclays Global AGG USD hedged -0.28%). In this environment, the unit value of the Deutsche Invest II Multi Opportunities TR Fund declined only very slightly, falling by 0.06%. The contribution of the equities side was slightly positive at +0.20%; equities from developed markets contributed positively (+0.36%), while emerging market equities were slightly negative (-0.16%). Commodities (gold) were down slightly for the month (-0.18%). The contribution of the bond portion was only slightly negative at -0.04%. In the bond asset class, emerging market bonds in local currency bucked the trend and recorded a slight gain (+0.05%). The weakness of the USD against the EUR had a negative impact across all asset classes. The USD depreciated by 1.61% against the EUR for the month. Our USD position amounted to around 14% at month's end. In June, the equity weighting was kept between 32% and 35%. We are maintaining a significant cash position in order to take advantage of opportunities if volatility increases. Calculation of performance is based on the time-weighted return and excludes front-end fees. Individual costs such as fees, commissions and other charges have not been included in this presentation and would have an adverse impact on returns if they were included.

Page 3 / 5 123 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest II Multi Opportunities Total Return Balanced Funds - Flexible Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review In June, global equity as well as bond markets showed a moderate downward trend in EUR, foremost due to the still weakening US dollar (MSCI World -1.2% in EUR, Barclays Global AGG USD Hedged -0.28%). In this environment, Deutsche Invest II Multi Opportunities Total Return printed just a very small loss of 0.06%. Performance Attribution The performance contribution of equities was positive with a total of +0.20%. The partial hedging via euroland derivatives (short DAX and Eurostoxx 50 futures; hedging via DAX put options) contributed positively with +0.49% and more than compensated losses in single European stocks. Japanese stocks withstood the global trend by ending the month in positive territory and contributing 0.16% to performance. UK equities (-0.10%) and Asian emerging markets equities (-0.09%) were in negative territory. Commodities were also slightly down (-0.2%). Bonds detracted only slightly from performance (-0.04%). Developed markets high yield bonds showed slight gains (+0.06%), while hard currency bonds from emerging markets saw slight losses (-0.07%). Current Positioning The net equity proportion was just above 30% in June. The equity exposure is regionally diversified with approx. 5-10% net equity exposure each in the US, Europe, Japan and emerging markets. We keep the portfolio duration still quite low - mostly between 0 and 2 years - and have exposure foremost in the US interest rate curve. The duration of the fund is below one year, as the risk/reward ratio appears to be rather unattractive. Emerging markets bonds are in our view still compelling as the hunt for yield should continue for now. Accordingly, the proportion of emerging markets bonds in local currency was further increased. The exposure is quite broadly diversified (bonds in Mexico, Indonesia and Russia and in addition bonds in Turkey and Brazil). Even with a moderate interest rate hike in the US we expect a resulting positive performance due to the high current yields and the moderate duration. We used the pronounced dip in June to increase our commodity exposure in the fund to a good 10% via commodity-related investments. We used several instruments for this, e.g. an ETF on the Russian equity index as well as steel and mining names. The FX exposure in USD is currently at approx. 13%. We stick to a significant cash position, in order to be able to benefit from opportunities when the volatility increases. The cash position stood at just below 20% in June. Outlook Volatility in the capital markets continues to be unusually low. Reason for this is foremost the massive liquidity provided by central banks around the globe (“investment shortage” for investors) supported by positive earnings momentum showing in the company results. Nevertheless, we expect that this will change during the next months, particularly when the central banks start to scale back their ultra-loose monetary policy. Accordingly, we intend to act in a contrarian way by only utilizing our high cash position when the volatility is higher. Due to the positively synchronized macro situations (US, Europe, and Asia) we expect the pressure on central banks to mount and therefore an increase of the whole interest rate curve in the mid-term, particularly in the US. Accordingly, we like to maintain a low duration, although inflation expectations are declining. Moderately increasing interest rates in an at the same time improved growth environment should initially have a positive effect on cyclical stocks. The equity proportion is still actively managed. The strategic focus on high steady returns in the investment allocation remains intact, and we continue to see potential in various bonds in selected emerging markets. Due to subdued yields, high yield European corporate bonds are in our opinion less attractive -particularly in the mid term. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary. Page 4 / 5 124 Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest II Multi Opportunities Total Return Fund of Funds Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund invests a substantial portion in other funds. When investing in other funds, it must be taken into consideration that multiple target funds may follow investment strategies which are identical or contrary to one another. This can result in a cumulative effect of existing risks, and any opportunities for returns might be offset. • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • The fund invests in bonds, the value of which depends on whether the issuer is able to afford its payments. The deterioration of credit quality (ability and willingness to repay) may have an adverse affect on the value of the bond. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital. Page 5 / 5 125 Fund of Funds Marketing Material Factsheet: Deutsche Invest I Multi Opportunities Fund of Funds June 2017 Fund Data Investment Policy As at 30/06/2017 Performance Performance - Share Class LC(EUR) (in %) The objective of the investment policy is to achieve an above-average return. In order to achieve this, the fund invests at least 51% in shares in other funds. In addition, the net assets may also be invested in equities, fixedincome securities, equity certificates, convertible bonds, convertible and warrantlinked bonds whose underlying warrants are for securities, warrants on securities and participation certificates and dividend-right certificates (Genussscheine). The investment policy will also be implemented through the use of suitable derivatives. Fund Fund Management's Comment Volatility increased in the global capital markets in June. Indications that the ECB could roll back its ultra-loose monetary policy resulted in significant volatility in the currency and interest rate markets. As expected, the US Federal Reserve Bank raised its key interest rate. The price of oil remained under pressure (WTI -6% in Euro). From a Euro investor's perspective, the weak US Dollar was a drag on the global equity markets last month (MSCI World index -1.0%). In an environment of rising interest rates and positive stress test results in the US, financials were among the winners, while IT, utilities and telecoms recorded the heaviest losses. In the bond market, yields on 10-year government bonds in Germany and the US rose noticeably, while Spanish and Italian bonds, for example, were virtually unchanged from the previous month. Calculation of performance is based on the time-weighted return and excludes front-end fees. Individual costs such as fees, commissions and other charges have not been included in this presentation and would have an adverse impact on returns if they were included.

Page 3 / 5 129 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Invest I Multi Opportunities Fund of Funds Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review In June the volatility at the capital markets increased. Indications that the ECB might reduce the ultra-reflationary monetary policy caused an increased level of volatility at the equity, currency and bond markets. As expected the US Fed increased their prime rate. The oil price remained under pressure (WTI -4.7% in USD). From a Euro investor perspective, the weak US-Dollar (-1.4% vs. Euro) weighed on the equity market performance (MSCI World Index -1.0% in Euro). On the equity sector side financials benefited from the increasing interest rate levels and positive stress test results in the USA, whereas IT, utilities and telecom companies were the weakest sectors over the course of the month. European corporate, German as well as US government bonds showed a slight negative performance in June. Only US corporate bonds were slightly up in local currency over the month. Performance Attribution Deutsche Invest I Multi Opportunities had a slightly negative performance of -0.29% in June 2017 (FC share class). The equity portfolio was the main negative contributor with 0.57% (in local currency, derivatives included).The foreign exchange currency portfolio contributed also negatively with -0.28%, mainly due to the decrease of the US-Dollar against the Euro but could partly be offset by currency forwards which contributed +0.22%. The bond portfolio contributed positively with +0.21% (in local currency, derivatives included). The performance year to date was at the end of June at +1.20%. Current Positioning In June the underlying equity portfolio was slightly reduced to 37.7% coming from 40.6% at the end of last month. At the same time the equity hedges were decreased from -11.2% to -8.1% resulting in a change of +0.2% of the net equity quota. The gross bond allocation was at 44.4% with corporate bonds being allocated with 35.3% and government bonds being allocated with 9.2%. The average bond rating was at BBB+ at month end. The duration on the portfolio level was negative at -0.25yrs.The cash position increased from 12.8% up to 17.6% of the overall portfolio. The EUR weight was increased further from 68.4% to 76.1% while the USD exposure was further decreased from 24.0% to 15.8%.The GBP exposure was hedged down to 0.3% while some of the JPY hedges were decreased and -2.9% being allocated to JPY. The carry of the fund is attractive with the dividend yield of the equity portfolio being at 3.2% and the Yield-to-Maturity of the bond portfolio being at 2.2% at the end of June. Outlook The volatility of the DAX (12 months) has come down even further, it fell from 18.5% to 17.8% in May. In comparison: this measure of risk had been at 23.5% at the beginning of the year. This suggests that there are currently no perceivable risks worth mentioning respectively that no risks are priced in. Incidentally, the US market shows the same trend. Nevertheless, positive economic news is still accompanied by slight price increases. Monetary policy changes are being ignored for now due to the decline in inflationary pressure. Positive economic momentum goes hand in hand with a perceived lowering of risk. There is not much reason to trim equity positions in face of persistently depressed interest rate levels. The current calm phase might quite possibly stay for the summer months. However, one has not only to ask the question what might trigger a correction in the equity markets, but also what is needed to drive the equity markets further. Much evidence suggests that a continued growth in 2018 is already priced in. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary.

Page 2 / 4 133 Marketing Material Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Multi Opportunities Fund of Funds Data in relation to the fund or the leading unit class. June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review In June the volatility at the capital markets increased. Indications that the ECB might reduce the ultra-reflationary monetary policy caused an increased level of volatility at the equity, currency and bond markets. As expected the US Fed increased their prime rate. The oil price remained under pressure (WTI -4.7% in USD). From a Euro investor perspective, the weak US-Dollar (-1.4% vs. Euro) weighed on the equity market performance (MSCI World Index -1.0% in Euro). On the equity sector side financials benefited from the increasing interest rate levels and positive stress test results in the USA, whereas IT, utilities and telecom companies were the weakest sectors over the course of the month. European corporate, German as well as US government bonds showed a slight negative performance in June. Only US corporate bonds were slightly up in local currency over the month. Performance Attribution Deutsche Multi Opportunities had a slightly negative performance of -0.50% in June 2017 (FC share class). The equity portfolio was the main negative contributor with -0.57% (in local currency, derivatives included). The foreign exchange currency portfolio contributed also negatively with -0.28%, mainly due to the decrease of the US-Dollar against the Euro but could partly be offset by currency forwards which contributed +0.22%. The bond portfolio contributed positively with +0.21% (in local currency, derivatives included). The performance year to date was at the end of June at +1.20%. Current Positioning In June the underlying equity portfolio was slightly reduced to 37.7% coming from 40.6% at the end of last month. At the same time the equity hedges were decreased from -11.2% to -8.1% resulting in a change of +0.2% of the net equity quota. The gross bond allocation was at 44.4% with corporate bonds being allocated with 35.3% and government bonds being allocated with 9.2%. The average bond rating was at BBB+ at month end. The duration on the portfolio level was negative at -0.25yrs.The cash position increased from 12.8% up to 17.6% of the overall portfolio. The EUR weight was increased further from 68.4% to 76.1% while the USD exposure was further decreased from 24.0% to 15.8%.The GBP exposure was hedged down to 0.3% while some of the JPY hedges were decreased and -2.9% being allocated to JPY. The carry of the fund is attractive with the dividend yield of the equity portfolio being at 3.2% and the Yield-to-Maturity of the bond portfolio being at 2.2% at the end of June. Outlook The volatility of the DAX (12 months) has come down even further, it fell from 18.5% to 17.8% in May. In comparison: this measure of risk had been at 23.5% at the beginning of the year. This suggests that there are currently no perceivable risks worth mentioning respectively that no risks are priced in. Incidentally, the US market shows the same trend. Nevertheless, positive economic news is still accompanied by slight price increases. Monetary policy changes are being ignored for now due to the decline in inflationary pressure. Positive economic momentum goes hand in hand with a perceived lowering of risk. There is not much reason to trim equity positions in face of persistently depressed interest rate levels. The current calm phase might quite possibly stay for the summer months. However, one has not only to ask the question what might trigger a correction in the equity markets, but also what is needed to drive the equity markets further. Much evidence suggests that a continued growth in 2018 is already priced in. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary. Page 3 / 4 134 Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Multi Opportunities Total Return Strategies - Equities Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund invests a substantial portion in other funds. When investing in other funds, it must be taken into consideration that multiple target funds may follow investment strategies which are identical or contrary to one another. This can result in a cumulative effect of existing risks, and any opportunities for returns might be offset. • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • The fund invests in bonds, the value of which depends on whether the issuer is able to afford its payments. The deterioration of credit quality (ability and willingness to repay) may have an adverse affect on the value of the bond. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital.

It also intends to build up long and synthetic short positions profiting from respective over- and undervaluation of various asset classes/instruments and to take advantage of the ability to invest in derivatives for hedging market risks.

Individual costs such as fees, commissions and other charges have not been included in this presentation and would have an adverse impact on returns if they were included.

June 2017 As at 30/06/2017 Performance Review In June the volatility at the capital markets increased. Indications that the ECB might reduce the ultra-reflationary monetary policy caused an increased level of volatility at the equity, currency and bond markets. As expected the US Fed increased their prime rate. The oil price remained under pressure (WTI -4.7% in USD). From a Euro investor perspective, the weak US-Dollar (-1.4% vs. Euro) weighed on the equity market performance (MSCI World Index -1.0% in Euro). On the equity sector side financials benefited from the increasing interest rate levels and positive stress test results in the USA, whereas IT, utilities and telecom companies were the weakest sectors over the course of the month. European corporate, German as well as US government bonds showed a slight negative performance in June. Only US corporate bonds were slightly up in local currency over the month. Performance Attribution Deutsche Concept Kaldemorgen had a slightly negative performance of -0.41% in June 2017 (FC share class). The equity portfolio had a neutral contribution +0.01 (in local currency, including equity derivatives). Corporate bonds also brought a neutral contribution with -0.01% (in local currency) over the month. The government bond position contributed positively with +0.07% (in local currency, including bond derivatives), mainly due to the bond future hedges. The gold position (in local currency) brought a slightly negative performance in June with -0.08%. The cash position had a neutral contribution with -0.01%. Foreign currency positions contributed negatively with -0.68%, mainly due to the decrease of the US-Dollar against the Euro in June. The foreign currency hedges contributed positively with +0.28%. Current Positioning In June the underlying equity exposure was slightly increased to 39.7% (+1.7%). At the same time the equity index hedges were increased by 4.9% to 15.0%, resulting in an overall decrease of the net equity quota to 24.8% (-3.1%). The gross bond allocation was decreased to 25.8% with corporate bonds being allocated with 16.9% and government bonds being allocated with 8.9%. The average bond rating was at BBB at month end. The effective duration of the fixed income portfolio was slightly increased to -1.1 (including derivatives). On a fund level the duration increased to -0.3. The cash position remained stable at 29.7%. The US-Dollar weight was decreased to 14.8% from 15.9%. The Euro weight was increased to 71.4% from 69.9%. The carry of the fund still is very attractive. End of June the dividend yield of the equity portfolio had been at 3.1% and the yield-tomaturity of the bond portfolio at 2.0%. Outlook The volatility of the DAX (12 months) has come down even further, it fell from 18.5% to 17.8% in May. In comparison: this measure of risk had been at 23.5% at the beginning of the year. This suggests that there are currently no perceivable risks worth mentioning respectively that no risks are priced in. Incidentally, the US market shows the same trend. Nevertheless, positive economic news is still accompanied by slight price increases. Monetary policy changes are being ignored for now due to the decline in inflationary pressure. Positive economic momentum goes hand in hand with a perceived lowering of risk. There is not much reason to trim equity positions in face of persistently depressed interest rate levels. The current calm phase might quite possibly stay for the summer months. However, one has not only to ask the question what might trigger a correction in the equity markets, but also what is needed to drive the equity markets further. Much evidence suggests that a continued growth in 2018 is already priced in. Note: The key terms are explained in the glossary. Page 4 / 5 140 Fund Management's Comment: Deutsche Concept Kaldemorgen Total Return Strategies - Equities Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund concludes derivative transactions with various contractual partners to a significant extent. A derivative is a financial instrument whose value depends on the development of one or more underlyings. Due to its structure (e.g. due to leverage), it may have a stronger impact on the fund than is the case if an underlying instrument is acquired directly. • The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases. • The fund invests in convertible and warrant-linked bonds. Convertible and warrant-linked bonds embody the right to convert the bond into equities or to acquire equities. The performance of the value of the convertible and warrant-linked bonds is therefore dependent on the price performance of the equity as the underlying. The risks of the performance of the underlying equities can therefore impact on the performance of the convertible and warrant-linked bonds. • The fund invests in bonds, the value of which depends on whether the issuer is able to afford its payments. The deterioration of credit quality (ability and willingness to repay) may have an adverse affect on the value of the bond. • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Growth-oriented The Fund is intended for the growth-oriented investor seeking returns higher than those from capital market interest rates, with capital growth generated primarily through opportunities in the equity and currency markets. Security and liquidity are subordinate to potential high returns. This entails higher equity, interest rate and currency risks, as well as default risks, all of which can result in a loss of capital. Page 5 / 5 141 Glossary Accumulated returns This refers to an accumulating fund under Luxembourg law. It is taxed upon sale. All-in-fee The total daily charges to fund assets arising from the business activities of the fund. It is composed of the management fee, the custodian fee and other costs (e.g., the cost of announcements and auditors’ fees; for some funds it includes a pricing fee of up to 0.2%) and is given as a percentage per annum. The performance-based compensation incurred by various funds, the pure securities transaction costs of fund management and the Luxembourg “Taxe d’abonnement” are not included in the total expenses. Alpha A measure of the difference between the risk-adjusted return on an investment and a benchmark. The alpha measures the part of the performance that cannot be explained by market movements or market risk, but rather is derived from the selection of securities within the market. Alpha is a way of measuring the active contribution to performance made by the portfolio manager. It is also a good yardstick to use when comparing several funds. The figure is calculated on a 3-yearly basis. Average dividend yield Measures the average dividend amount, based on the current share price. This figure is calculated based on the shares (including ADRs/GDRs > Depositary receipts) and REITs contained in a fund. Average gain in positive months This is the average percentage return across all calendar months in a specified time period in which the performance of a security / fund was positive. Average loss in negative months This is the average percentage loss across all calendar months in a specified time period in which the performance of a security / fund was negative. Average market capitalization Measures the average market capitalization of the shares, REITs and ADRs/GDRs (depositary receipts) contained in a fund. The market capitalization represents the total market value of a company as determined by multiplying the number of shares issued by the current share price. Benchmark A benchmark is a reference or comparison value that is used to measure the success of an investment. The benchmark for funds is usually an index, a combination of indices or an interest rate. Best Month Best month defines the calendar month within a specified time period with the highest positive performance. Beta factor A measure of sensitivity - given as the average percentage change in the price of a fund when the market (benchmark) rises or falls by 1%. A value over (under) 1 means that on average the fund exhibits more (less) volatility than the benchmark. The figure is calculated on a 3-yearly basis. Correlation coefficient Describes the degree to which two values (fund versus benchmark) move in the same direction. The value of the correlation coefficient is between -1 and +1. A correlation of +1 means that the fund generally moves in the same direction as the benchmark, while -1 indicates that the fund generally moves in the opposite direction. A correlation of 0 means that there is no relation between the price movements of the fund and the benchmark. The figure is calculated on a 3-yearly basis. Current interest yield The current interest yield differs from the nominal interest rate because securities are bought at a price that can be higher or lower than their nominal value. Since interest is always paid on the nominal value, the following calculation is used: (interest rate x 100)/price = effective yield. Downside Deviation Downside Deviation corresponds to standard deviation, except that it only takes into account the volatility of negative returns. Downside Deviation differentiates between downside volatility (negative deviation from the mean value or the standard deviation), which is linked to a fall in the price of a security and upside volatility (positive deviation from the mean value or the standard deviation), which is linked to a rise in the price of a security. Downside Deviation only addresses negative volatility. The mean value is the required minimum rate of return specified for a security. The calculation of Downside Deviation considers a minimum rate of return of 0%. The ratio is based on the “main share class” and considers the share class performance since inception. To ensure a comparability all figures are calculated on an annualised basis. Duration (in years/in months) A measure of the sensitivity of an investment to changes in interest rates. Duration, which was developed by Frederick Macaulay, is the average period for which invested capital is committed. Because of the interest payable over time on the invested capital, duration is shorter than -> maturity. This version of duration is used in DWS Top Reporting and refers to invested assets (without “Cash and other holdings”). DWS-Risk-Class Page 142 Glossary The DWS-Risk-Class serves as a point of reference for investors, allowing them to compare their personal risk tolerance with the risks associated with an individual investment fund. Funds in the DWS Group are divided into risk categories 1 (low risk) to 4 (comparatively high risk). For example, money-market funds generally have a very stable performance and very limited risk and are thus classified as risk class 1. Industry equity funds, in which expectations for above-average returns are associated with a corresponding level of risk, are in risk class 4. Risk classes - examples of fund groups: 1 EUR money-market funds, near-money market EUR funds 2 EUR bond funds, internationally diversified bond funds primarily in hard currencies, short-term bond funds in hard currencies 3 Internationally oriented bond funds with significant unhedged currency positions, equity funds with a focus on Germany, internationally invested equity funds, country equity funds in European hard currencies. 4 Regional and industry funds, emerging-market funds Early redemption charge The early redemption charge is a one-time fee paid when fund units are sold. It is usually given as a percentage. Earnings During the year, funds generate so-called ordinary income / earnings (e.g., from interest received in the portfolio, dividends, realized capital gains). This income is either regularly reinvested in the fund (accumulated) or distributed at the end of the fiscal year. For the exact amount of the accumulation or distribution of a fund, please visit www.dws.de. EU interim profit The amount per fund unit that is subject to the EU interest tax upon sale. This amount is based on the interest accrued since purchase. Fund ratings and rankings Fund ratings and rankings allow quantitative and qualitative comparison within various fund categories. Ranking is the organization of historical data (objectively verifiable criteria like performance and volatility) with the aim of creating a list comparing different funds. The term rating makes a qualitative statement about a fund, its management or the investment company as a whole. In practice, the terms are sometimes used to mean the same thing. The prerequisites are a sufficiently large comparison group of funds and a minimum of three to five years of fund existence. The most respected fund analysts in Germany today are FERI Trust (FERI Fonds Rating) and Morningstar. In reporting, ratings refer to the previous month. For more information on the methodology of ratings services, please visit: http://www.feri-trust.de http://www.morningstarfonds.de Front-end load The front-end load is a one-time fee paid upon acquisition of fund units. It is usually given as a percentage. Unless otherwise indicated by the fund, the front-end load is based on the net investment amount. Future long Futures are forward contracts for a specific commodity. They obligate the buyer of the contract to buy a specific amount and quality of the underlying instrument at a specific time in the future at a price established in the contract. The parties may only relieve themselves of this obligation by selling the contract to a third party. This is called liquidating the position. Future short Futures are forward contracts for a specific commodity. They obligate the seller of the contract to deliver a specific amount and quality of the underlying instrument at a specific time in the future at a price established in the contract. The parties may only relieve themselves of this obligation by selling the contract to a third party. This is called liquidating the position. Information ratio The information ratio measures the difference between the annualized average return of the fund and that of the benchmark, divided by the --> Tracking error. The higher this value is, the more the investor pays for the risk in the fund. The figure is calculated on a 3-yearly basis. Leverage / level of investment Effect through which the amount of capital invested is disproportionately affected by actual developments. For example, if the effective interest rate for loans is below the returns available on the capital markets, investors can significantly increase the profitability of their investments by taking out loans and investing them on the capital markets. Long call A long call (the purchase of a call option) gives the buyer the contractual right to acquire a specific underlying security under previously established conditions (date, price, etc.). The buyer pays the seller a premium for this right. The buyer can either sell the option to a third party or exercise it himself until the expiration date. The risk is limited to the amount invested by the buyer, the premium. Longest loss period The longest loss period is the longest continuous time period during which the average monthly performance of a security / fund has been negative for every calendar month. The risk figure is based on the “main share class” and considers the share class performance since inception. Long put A long put (the purchase of a put option) gives the buyer the contractual right to sell a specific underlying security under previously established conditions (date, price, etc.). The buyer pays the seller a premium for this right. He can either sell the option to a third party or exercise it himself up until the expiration date. The risk is limited to the amount invested by the buyer, the premium. Page 143 Glossary Management fee The total daily charges to fund assets arising from the business activities of the fund. It is given as a percentage per annum. Maturity (in years/in months) The amount of time until the maturity of an obligation, such as a bond. Refers to invested fund assets (without “Cash and other holdings”). Maximum drawdown The maximum drawdown is the largest percentage drop in value in a given period of time. It measures the amount the fund falls from its highest point to its lowest point in the selected timeframe. The figure is calculated on a 3-yearly basis. Minimum investment amount Various funds/asset classes have a minimum investment amount. Please see the Special Part of the Prospectus of the respective fund/asset class for details about that fund/asset class. Modified duration (in years/in months) Serves as a measure of interest-rate sensitivity. Modified duration indicates the percentage change in price of a bond (in a portfolio) when the market interest rate changes by 1%. In order to calculate the percentage change in the bond price, the modified duration of the bond is multiplied by the percentage change in the interest rate. This figure helps investors assess the risks and opportunities of a bond at a glance. Negative Months Absolute number of calendar months within a specified time period with a negative performance. Number of shares Number of shares (including ADRs/GDRs - depositary receipts) and REITs contained in a fund. Performance-related fee Amount calculated and charged to fund assets if a performance-related fee is agreed upon in the Special Part of the Prospectus and the fund’s performance exceeds that of the benchmark or other reference interest rate (or yield), less costs. It is given as a percentage per annum. For a more detailed definition, please see the Special Part of the prospectus. Securities lending: performance-related fee from lending profits ("perf.-rel. fee from lending prof.") Compensation for activities connected with securities lending. In a securities loan, the owner of a security lends securities to a trader under the condition that the loan be repaid within what is usually a very short period of only a few days with securities of a similar type and quality. The lender receives a fee for this. DWS Investments then applies this income (the fee received for the securities loan) to the fund from whose portfolios securities are allowed to be lent and actually were lent, thereby improving the performance of that fund. Up to half of this amount may be retained by DWS Investments. Income from loans is disclosed as a percentage of average fund assets as at the end of the reporting year. In many of its funds, the DWS Group takes advantage of the opportunity to do this and thereby to achieve additional income for the fund. Positive Months Absolute number of calender months within a specified time period with a positive performance. Sharpe ratio A measure of risk developed by William F. Sharpe, defined as the excess return on an investment over that of a risk-free investment in relation to the risk of the investment. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the higher the yield the investor receives for the risk the investment carries (expressed in volatility). The Sharpe ratio can be used to compare multiple funds. The figure is calculated on a 3-yearly basis. Short call A short call (the sale of a call option) obligates the seller (also called the writer) to deliver the underlying instrument at any time until the exercise period of the option expires (expiration date). The seller receives a premium from the buyer for this right, which is usually above the return on comparable investments on the capital market. If a call option is not exercised, it expires and has no value. Short put A short put (the sale of a put option) obligates the seller (also called the writer) to buy the underlying instrument at any time until the exercise period of the option expires (expiration date). The buyer receives a premium from the buyer for this right, which is usually above the return on comparable assets on the capital market. If a put option is not exercised, it expires and has no value. Sortino Ratio The Sortino Ratio - developed by Frank A. Sortino - only uses the volatility of negative returns (downside deviation). Unlike the Sharpe Ratio, this ratio enables risk-adjusted performance indicators to be calculated that exclude upside price volatility. The ratio is based on the “main share class” and considers the share class performance since inception. To ensure a comparability all figures are calculated on an annualised basis. Total expense ratio The total expense ratio is the ratio, given as a percentage, of all the costs associated with the management of a fund to the average net asset value of the fund for the previous fiscal year. This figure is calculated by dividing total fund costs by fund assets. This yields the amount of the total costs as a percentage of fund assets. The timeframe used is the fiscal year. Tracking error Page 144 Glossary The tracking error is the standard deviation of the yield differential between a fund and its benchmark. This makes it a measure of how well the fund manager tracks the benchmark. The figure is calculated on a 3-yearly basis. VaR (Value at Risk) A measure of risk that indicates the maximum fund losses with a given probability for a given period of time (holding period). VaR is calculated on the basis of the daily prices of the individual securities contained in the portfolio for a year. Yield The yield is the annual return on a capital investment, measured as the actual interest earned (effective yield) on the capital invested. It is based on the fund’s income (e.g., interest, dividends, realized capital gains) and change in the price of the assets held in the fund. The yield of a fund is derived from the invested assets (without “Cash and other holdings”) and is presented as a “gross” figure, i.e., before the deduction of total expenses/fee. Volatility Volatility expresses the degree to which the yield on an investment (the price performance of a fund, for example) varies from a mean value in a specific period of time. This makes it a measure of fund risk. The greater the variation from the mean, the higher the volatility. Knowing the volatility allows investors to assess the profit and loss potential of an investment. The figure is calculated on a 3-yearly basis. Worst Month Worst month defines the calender month within a specified time period with the most pronounced negative performance.
