CRITERIOS DE ÁMBITO GENERAL
PRINCIPIO 1: VIDA PARA TODOS
For the sub-fund with the name DWS Invest Brazilian Bonds, the following provisions shall apply in addition to the terms contained in the general section of the Sales Prospectus. Investment policy
The objective of the investment policy of DWS Invest Brazilian Bonds is to achieve an above aver- age return for the sub-fund.
Up to 100% of the sub-fund’s assets may be invested in interest-bearing debt securities issued by:
– the Brazilian government, – Brazilian government agencies, – Brazilian municipals and
– companies which have their registered office in Brazil or that conduct their principal busi- ness activity in Brazil,
– supra-national institutions such as World- bank (IBRD), European Investment Bank (EIB) and European Bank for Reconstruction
and Develop ment (EBRD) denominated in
Brazilian Real and
– national agencies such as the German Kredit- anstalt für Wiederaufbau denominated in Brazilian Real.
Assets not denominated in Brazilian Real will generally be hedged against the Brazilian Real. In extreme market situations, the investment manager may diverge from the above invest- ment strategy to avoid a liquidity squeeze. In this case, whether or not and to what extend sub-fund hedges currency risk into Brazilian Real shall be subject to the manager’s discretion. In addition up to 100% of the sub-fund’s assets may temporarily be invested in interest-bear- ing securities of United States of America and Japanese and European (EU-Member States) government bonds.
Notwithstanding the principle of risk spreading and in accordance with Article 45 of the law of December 17, 2010, the sub-fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in interest-bearing debt securities that are issued or guaranteed by the Brazilian government. The sub-fund may also invest up to 100% of its assets in interest-bearing debt securities issued or guaranteed by a mem- ber state of the European Union, its local authori- ties, an OECD member country, or by a public international body of which one or more mem- ber states of the European Union are members. The sub-fund must hold securities from at least six different issues, but securities from any one issue may not account for more than 30% of the sub-fund’s net assets.
In addition, the sub-fund’s assets may be invested in all other permissible assets speci- fied in Article 2, including the assets mentioned in Article 2 A. (j) of the general part of the Sales Prospectus.

Due to its composition and the techniques applied by its fund management, the sub-fund is subject to markedly increased volatility, which means that the price per share may be subject to substantial downward or upward fluctuation, even within short periods of time. The sub-fund is therefore only suitable for experienced investors who are familiar with the opportunities and risks of volatile investments and who are in a position to temporarily bear substantial losses.
Disclaimer:
In Brazil a tax might be imposed on foreign investors who purchase securities denomi- nated in the Brazilian currency (Real). Cur- rently, a Financial Operating Tax (IOF Tax) applies to foreign exchange inflows into the Brazilian market. IOF Tax imposed will adversely affect the Sub-fund's Net Asset Value at the time of the inflow of the for- eign exchange.
Risk Management
The relative Value-at-Risk (VaR) approach is used to limit market risk in the sub-fund.
In addition to the provisions of the general section of the Sales Prospectus, the potential market risk of the sub-fund is measured using a reference portfolio that does not contain derivatives.
The reference portfolio is a portfolio that does not include any leverage effect from the use of derivatives. The corresponding reference port- folio for the sub-fund DWS Invest Brazilian Bonds is the JP Morgan- GBI-EM Brazil Broad Index (unhedged) Constituents.
Leverage is not expected to exceed twice the value of the investment subfund’s assets. How- ever, the disclosed expected level of leverage is not intended to be an additional exposure limit for the sub-fund.
Fund manager of the sub-fund
The fund manager of the sub-fund is DWS Invest- ment GmbH.
