Important Information
Deutsche Multi-Market Income Trust seeks to provide high income consistent with prudent total return. The fund invests in a
range of income-producing securities such as U.S. corporate fixed-income securities and debt obligations of foreign governments,
their agencies and instrumentalities which may be denominated in foreign currencies and may not be rated. 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. Investments in
lower-quality (“junk bonds”) and non-rated securities present greater risk of loss than investments in higher-quality securities.
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. Emerging markets tend to be
more volatile than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and
less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Investing in foreign securities presents certain risks, such as
currency fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks.
Deutsche Municipal Income Trust seeks to provide high current income exempt from federal income tax by investing in a

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.
Nothing contained herein is fiduciary or impartial investment advice that is individualized or directed to any plan, plan
participant, or IRA owner regarding the advisability of any investment transaction, including any IRA distribution or
rollover.
