DWS Closed-End Funds Announce Regular Monthly Dividends

The monthly dividends for both funds were declared on October 6, 2023, with an ex-date of October 13, 2023. The record date is set for October 16, 2023, and the dividends will be payable on October 31, 2023.

Investors should note that bond investments carry various risks, including interest-rate, credit, liquidity, and market risks. Municipal securities, in particular, are subject to the risk of litigation, legislation, economic conditions, and issuer bankruptcy. The market for municipal bonds may also be less liquid compared to taxable bonds. Additionally, investing in derivatives involves special risks related to liquidity, leverage, and credit.

Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered and are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange. The price of a fund’s shares is influenced by various factors beyond the fund’s control, which may result in shares trading at a discount to the net asset value.

DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA reminds investors that past performance is not indicative of future results. The press release also highlights that the securities mentioned in the announcement are not being offered for sale in any jurisdiction where such an offer would be unlawful.

While the press release does not contain any breaking news or crime-related information, it provides important updates for investors interested in DWS Municipal Income Trust and DWS Strategic Municipal Income Trust.
