DWS High Income Trust seeks to provide the highest current income obtainable, consistent with reasonable risk, with capital gains secondary. The fund invests in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate, so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. The fund may invest in lower-quality and nonrated securities, which present greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher-quality securities. Bond investments are subject to interest rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value.

DWS Municipal Income Trust seeks to provide high current income exempt from federal income tax by investing in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade tax-exempt securities. The fund invests in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate, so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. Additionally, although the fund seeks income that is federally tax–free, a portion of the fund’s distributions may be subject to federal, state, local and alternative minimum tax. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value.

DWS Multi Market Income Trust seeks to provide high income consistent with prudent total return. The fund invests in a range of income-producing securities such as US corporate fixed-income securities and debt obligations of foreign governments, their agencies and instrumentalities which may be denominated in foreign currencies and may not be rated. Investing in securities of emerging markets presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes, and market risks. All of these factors may result in greater share price volatility. The fund may invest in lower-quality and nonrated securities, which present greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher-quality securities. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value.

DWS Strategic Municipal Income Trust seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax by investing in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade tax-exempt securities. The fund will invest at least 50 percent of its assets in investment-grade municipal securities or unrated municipal securities of comparable quality, and may invest up to 50 percent of its assets in high-yield municipal securities that are below investment grade. The fund invests in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate, so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. Additionally, although the fund seeks income that is federally tax–free, a portion of the fund’s distributions may be subject to federal, state, local and alternative minimum tax. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value.

DWS Strategic Income Trust seeks to provide high current income by investing its assets in a combination of (a) lower-rated, corporate fixed-income securities; (b) fixed-income securities of emerging markets and other foreign issuers; and (c) fixed-income securities of the US government and its agencies and instrumentalities, and mortgage-backed issuers. The fund invests in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate, so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. Investing in securities of emerging markets presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes, and market risks. All of these factors may result in greater share price volatility. The fund may invest in lower-quality and nonrated securities, which present greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher-quality securities. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the bond fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value.

DWS Dreman Value Income Edge Fund, Inc. is a non-diversified, closed-end investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek to achieve a high level of total return. The Fund pursues its investment objective through a combination of an income strategy designed to generate regular income and reduce volatility (the "Income Strategy"), and a quantitative long/short strategy designed to seek returns that are uncorrelated to the market (the "Hedge Strategy"). Its shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “DHG”. Future earnings of the Fund can not be guaranteed and the Fund's dividend policy is subject to change. The amount of monthly distributions may vary depending on a number of factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the amount of dividends could change.

Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to the net asset value. The price of a fund’s shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, a fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Investments in funds involve risk. Some funds have more risk than others. These include funds that allow exposure to or otherwise concentrate investments in certain sectors, geographic regions, security types, market capitalization or foreign securities (e.g., political or economic instability, which can be accentuated in emerging market countries).

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such state or jurisdiction.
