Performance Performance (in EUR) (in %) Fund Management's Comment Equity markets worldwide suffered significant losses in. The US indices were down by as much as 15% at times, but recovered somewhat towards the end of the year and closed with a loss of close to 10%. In addition to the ongoing trade dispute between the US and China, the reasons for the uncertainties and high volatility were the Fed s interest rate hike on December 19 and the government shutdown in the US. Both the Asian and the European markets followed this downward trend and closed December in negative territory. As a result of these uncertainties, demand for German government bonds rose, resulting in a decline in the current yield. Below is an overview of selected indices: MSCI World Index (USD): -7.7%, MSCI World Index (EUR): -8.8%, EuroStoxx 50 Index: -5.3%, S&P 500 Index (USD): -9.2%, Nikkei 225 Index (JPY): -10.5%, Bloomberg Commodity TR Index (EUR): -8%. The current yield on 9-10 year German government bonds fell from 0.3% to 0.2%. During the month, the portion of risky investments was reduced to around 70%. Fund Calculation of performance is based on the time-weighted return and excludes front-end fees.

7 Factsheet: DWS Life Cycle Balance I 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 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. Important note on the investor profile: Investor profile: Growth-oriented The sub-fund is designed for growth-oriented investors who wish to achieve capital appreciation primarily through equity gains and exchange rate movements. Expected earnings are offset by high equity, interest rate and currency risks as well as creditworthiness risks and the possibility of heavy losses of the invested capital, up to the total amount invested. The investor is willing and able to bear such a financial loss, and does not prioritize capital preservation. The Company provides additional information relating to the profile of the typical investor or target customer group for this financial product to distribution agents and distribution partners. If the investor is advised on the acquisition of units by the Company's distribution agents or distribution partners, or if they act as brokers in the purchase of units, they may also provide the investor additional information that also relates to the profile of the typical investor. Supplementary information on the target market and product costs resulting from the implementation of the MiFID2 Directive and made available to distribution agents by the capital management company can be obtained in electronic form from the Company's website at Page 3 / 3 7

The US indices were down by as much as 15% at times, but recovered somewhat towards the end of the year. In addition to the ongoing trade dispute between the US and China, the reasons for the uncertainties and high volatility were the Federal Reserve s interest rate hike and the government shutdown in the US. Both the Asian and the European markets followed this downward trend and closed December in negative territory. As a result of these uncertainties, demand for German government bonds rose, resulting in a decline in the current yield. Below is an overview of selected indices: MSCI World Index (USD): -7.7%, MSCI World Index (EUR): -8.8%, EuroStoxx 50 Index: -5.3%, S&P 500 Index (USD): -9.2%, Nikkei 225 Index (JPY): -10.5%, Bloomberg Commodity TR Index (EUR): -8%. The current yield on 9-10 year German government bonds fell from 0.3% to 0.2%. During the month, the portion of risky investments was reduced to around 65%.

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. Important note on the investor profile: Investor profile: Growth-oriented The sub-fund is designed for growth-oriented investors who wish to achieve capital appreciation primarily through equity gains and exchange rate movements. Expected earnings are offset by high equity, interest rate and currency risks as well as creditworthiness risks and the possibility of heavy losses of the invested capital, up to the total amount invested.
