SUPPLEMENTTOTHE CURRENTLY EFFECTIVE SUMMARY PROSPECTUSES

Deutsche Alternative Asset Allocation VIP

The followinTT g sentence replaces the similar sentence contained under “Main Investments” in the “PRINCIPAL INVESTMENTSTRATEGY” section of the fund’s summary prospectuses:

The fund may also invest in securities of unaffiliated mutual funds, ETFs or exchange-traded notes (ETNs) to gain a desiredeconomic exposure to a particular asset category or investment strategy that is not available through a Deutsche fund(Deutsche funds and unaffiliated mutual funds, ETFs and ETNs are collectively referred to as “underlying funds”).

The followinTT g disclosure is added under the “MAIN RISKSKK ” section of the fund’s summary prospectuses:

ETN risk. Because ETNs are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities of an issuer (typically a bank or bank holdingcompany), ETNs are subject to the credit risk of the issuer and may lose value due to a downgrade in the issuer’s creditrating. The returns of an ETN are linked to the performance of an underlying instrument (typically an index), minus applicablefees. ETNs typically do not make periodic interest payments and principal typically is not protected. The value of an ETNmay fluctuate based on factors such as time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidityin the underlying assets, changes in the applicable interest rates, and economic, legal, political or geographic events thataffect the underlying assets. The fund bears its proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by the ETN. BecauseETNs trade on a securities exchange, their shares may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value.
