The Fund intends to gain exposure to the commodities markets by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly owned subsidiary, DWS Cayman Precious Metals Fund, Inc., organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary"). Among other investments, the Subsidiary may invest in gold coin and bullion and other precious metals; commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as swaps, futures; and exchange traded funds. The Subsidiary may also invest in debt securities, some of which are intended to serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary's derivative positions. The Subsidiary may also invest available cash in affiliated money market funds. The Subsidiary is managed by the same portfolio managers that manage the Fund.  As of January 31, 2014, the Fund held $4,621,015 in the Subsidiary, representing 3.1% of the Fund's net assets. The Fund’s Investment Portfolio has been consolidated and includes the portfolio holdings of the Fund and the Subsidiary.
 
 
Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of January 31, 2014 in valuing the Fund's investments.
