Important Information
DWS Municipal Income Trust. Bond investments are subject to
interest-rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying
degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall.
Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely
payments of principal and interest. Municipal securities are
subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political
events, local business or economic conditions or the bankruptcy of
the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability
to make payments of principal and/or interest. The market for
municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds and there
may be less information available on the financial condition of
issuers of municipal securities than for public corporations.
Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to
liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or
increase volatility. Leverage results in additional risks and can
magnify the effect of any gains or losses. Although the fund seeks
income that is exempt from federal income taxes, a portion of the
fund’s distributions may be subject to federal, state and local
taxes, including the alternative minimum tax.

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 bought and 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, the fund cannot predict
whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset
value.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
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.
War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade
disputes, public health crises and related geopolitical events have
led, and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in US
and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market
volatility and may have significant adverse effects on each Fund
and its investments.
