Item G.1.b.iv DWS Strategic Municipal Income
Trust (the "Fund")

Based on a review of reports filed by the Fund's
directors and executive officers, the investment
advisor, officers and directors of the investment
advisor, affiliated persons of the investment advisor
and beneficial holders of 10% or more of the Fund's
outstanding shares, and written representations by
the Reporting Persons that no year-end reports were
required for such persons, all filings required by
Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019
were timely, except that William McClayton filed a
Form 4 late. Mr. McClayton has since corrected his
omission by making the necessary filing.
