Exhibit (d)(4)
SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT made this 5th day of April, 2002, by and between DEUTSCHE
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AMERICAS INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Adviser") and
DREMAN VALUE MANAGEMENT, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the
"Sub-Adviser").
WHEREAS, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ EQUITY TRUST, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Fund")
is a management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended ("the Investment Company Act");
WHEREAS, the Fund has retained the Adviser to render to it investment
advisory and management services with regard to the Fund, including the series
known as the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Financial Services Fund (the "Financial Services
Series"), pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the "Management
Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Adviser desires at this time to retain the Sub-Adviser to
render investment advisory and management services for the Financial Services
Series and the Sub-Adviser is willing to render such services;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:
1. Appointment of Sub-Adviser.
--------------------------
(a) The Adviser hereby employs the Sub-Adviser to manage the investment
and reinvestment of the assets of the Financial Services Series in accordance
with the applicable investment objectives, policies and limitations and subject
to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Fund for the
period and upon the terms herein set forth, and to place orders for the purchase
or sale of portfolio securities for the Financial Services Series account with
brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Adviser; and, in connection therewith,
the Sub-Adviser is authorized as the agent of the Financial Services Series to
give instructions to the Custodian and Accounting Agent of the Fund as to the
deliveries of securities and payments of cash for the account of the Financial
Services Series. In connection with the selection of such brokers or dealers and
the placing of such orders, the Sub-Adviser is directed to seek for the
Financial Services Series best execution of orders. Subject to such policies as
the Board of Trustees of the Fund determines and subject to satisfying the
requirements of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Sub-Adviser shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any
duty, created by this Agreement or otherwise, solely by reason of its having
caused the Financial Services Series to pay a broker or dealer an amount of
commission for effecting a securities transaction in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction, if the Sub-Adviser determined in good faith that such amount of
commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research
services provided by such broker or dealer viewed in terms of either that
particular transaction or the Sub-Adviser's overall responsibilities with
respect to the clients of the Sub-Adviser as to which the Sub-Adviser exercises
investment discretion. The Adviser recognizes that all research services and
research that the Sub-Adviser receives are available for all clients of the
Sub-Adviser, and that the Financial Services Series and other clients of the
Sub-Adviser may benefit thereby. The investment of funds shall be subject to all
applicable restrictions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of
the Fund as may from time to time be in force to the extent the same are
provided the Sub-Adviser.
(b) The Sub-Adviser accepts such employment and agrees during the
period of this Agreement to render such investment management services in
accordance with the applicable investment objectives, policies and limitations
set out in the Fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as
amended from time to time, to the extent the same are provided the Sub-Adviser,
to furnish related office facilities and equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and
administrative services for the Financial Services Series, and to assume the
other obligations herein set forth for the compensation herein provided. The
Sub-Adviser shall assume and pay all of the costs and expenses of performing its
obligations under this Agreement. The Sub-Adviser shall for all purposes herein
provided be deemed to be an independent contractor and, unless otherwise
expressly provided or authorized, shall have no authority to act for or
represent the Fund, the Financial Services Series or the Adviser in any way or
otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund, the Financial Services Series or the
Adviser.
(c) The Sub-Adviser will keep the Adviser, for itself and on behalf of
the Fund, informed of developments materially affecting the Fund or the
Financial Services Series and shall, on the Sub-Adviser's own initiative and as
reasonably requested by the Adviser, for itself and on behalf of the Fund,
furnish to the Adviser from time to time whatever information the Adviser
reasonably believes appropriate for this purpose.
(d) The Sub-Adviser shall provide the Adviser with such investment
portfolio accounting and shall maintain and provide such detailed records and
reports as the Adviser may from time to time reasonably request, including
without limitation, daily processing of investment transactions and periodic
valuations of investment portfolio positions as required by the Adviser, monthly
reports of the investment portfolio and all investment transactions and the
preparation of such reports and compilation of such data as may be required by
the Adviser to comply with the obligations imposed upon it under the Management
Agreement. Sub-Adviser agrees to install in its offices computer equipment or
software, as provided by the Adviser at its expense, for use by the Sub-Adviser
in performing its duties under this Sub-Advisory Agreement, including inputting
on a daily basis that day's portfolio transactions in the Financial Services
Series.
(e) The Sub-Adviser shall maintain and enforce adequate security
procedures with respect to all materials, records, documents and data relating
to any of its responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement including all means
for the effecting of securities transactions.
(f) The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will provide to the Adviser or the
Fund promptly upon request reports and copies of such of its investment records
and ledgers with respect to the Financial Services Series as appropriate to
assist the Adviser and the Fund in monitoring compliance with the Investment
Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act"), as
well as other applicable laws. The Sub-Adviser will furnish the Fund's Board of
Trustees such periodic and special reports with respect to the Financial
Services Series as the Adviser or the Board of Trustees may reasonably request,
including statistical information with respect to the Financial Services Series'
securities.
(g) In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the
Investment Company Act, the Sub-Adviser hereby agrees that any records that it
maintains for the Fund are the property of the Fund and further agrees to
surrender promptly any such records upon the Fund's or the Adviser's request,
although the Sub-Adviser may, at the Sub-Adviser's own expense, make and retain
copies of such records. The Sub-Adviser further agrees to preserve for the
periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the Investment Company Act any records
with respect to the Sub-Adviser's duties hereunder required to be maintained by
Rule 31a-1 under the Investment Company Act to the extent that the Sub-Adviser
prepares and maintains such records pursuant to this Agreement and to preserve
the records required by Rule 204-2 under the Advisers Act for the period
specified in that Rule.
(h) The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will immediately notify the Adviser
and the Fund in the event that the Sub-Adviser: (i) becomes subject to a
statutory disqualification that prevents the Sub-Adviser from serving as an
investment adviser pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) is or expects to become
the subject of an administrative proceeding or enforcement action by the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or other regulatory authority.
(i) The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will immediately forward, upon
receipt, to the Adviser, for itself and as agent for the Fund, any
correspondence from the SEC or other regulatory authority that relates to the
Financial Services Series.
(j) The Sub-Adviser acknowledges that it is an "investment adviser" to
the Fund within the meaning of the Investment Company Act and the Advisers Act.
(k) The Sub-Adviser shall be responsible for maintaining an appropriate
compliance program to ensure that the services provided by it under this
Agreement are performed in a manner consistent with applicable laws and the
terms of this Agreement. Sub-Adviser agrees to provide such reports and
2
certifications regarding its compliance program as the Adviser or the Fund shall
reasonably request from time to time. Furthermore, the Sub-Adviser shall
maintain and enforce a Code of Ethics which in form and substance is consistent
with industry norms as changed from time to time. Sub-Adviser agrees to allow
the Board of Trustees of the Fund to review its Code of Ethics upon request.
Sub-Adviser agrees to report to the Adviser on a quarterly basis any violations
of the Code of Ethics of which its senior management becomes aware.

Services Series or the Adviser in connection with the matters to which this
Agreement relates, except loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence on the part of the Sub-Adviser in the performance of its
obligations and duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations
and duties under this Agreement.

9. Indemnifications.
----------------
(a) The Sub-Adviser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Adviser and
the Fund against any losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions or proceedings in respect thereof), to which Adviser or the Fund may
become subject arising out of or based on the breach or alleged breach by the
Sub-Adviser of any provisions of this Agreement or any wrongful action or
alleged wrongful action by the Sub-Adviser; provided, however, that the
Sub-Adviser shall not be liable under this paragraph in respect of any loss,
expense, claim, damage or liability to the extent that a court having
jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment, or independent counsel
agreed upon by the Sub-Adviser and the Adviser or the Fund, as the case may be,
shall have concluded in a written opinion, that such loss, expense, claim,
damage or liability resulted primarily from the Adviser's or the Fund's willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence or by reason of the reckless
disregard by the Adviser or the Fund of its duties. The foregoing
indemnification shall be in addition to any rights that the Adviser or the Fund
may have at common law or otherwise. The Sub-Adviser's agreements in this
paragraph shall, upon the same terms and conditions, extend to and inure to the
benefit of each person who may be deemed to control the Adviser or the Fund, be
controlled by the Adviser or the Fund, or be under common control with the
Adviser or the Fund and their affiliates, trustees, officers, employees and
agents. The Sub-Adviser's agreement in this paragraph shall also extend to any
of the Fund's, Financial Services Series', and Adviser's successors or the
successors of the aforementioned affiliates, trustees, officers, employees or
agents.
(b) The Adviser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Sub-Adviser
against any losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or
proceedings in respect thereof), to which the Sub-Adviser may become subject
arising out of or based on the breach or alleged breach by the Adviser of any
provisions of this Agreement or the Management Agreement, or any wrongful action
or alleged wrongful action by the Adviser or its affiliates in the distribution
of the Fund's shares, or any wrongful action or alleged wrongful action by the
Fund other than wrongful action or alleged wrongful action that was caused by
the breach by Sub-Adviser of the provisions of this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Adviser shall not be liable under this paragraph in respect of
any loss, expense, claim, damage or liability to the extent that a court having
jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment, or independent counsel
agreed upon by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser shall have concluded in a written
opinion, that such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability resulted primarily
from the Sub-Adviser's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence or by
reason of the reckless disregard by the Sub-Adviser of its duties. The foregoing
indemnification shall be in addition to any rights that the Sub-Adviser may have
at common law or otherwise. The Adviser's agreements in this paragraph shall,
upon the same terms and conditions, extend to and inure to the benefit of each
person who may be deemed to control the Sub-Adviser, be controlled by the
Sub-Adviser or be under common control with the Sub-Adviser and to each of the
Sub-Adviser's and each such person's respective affiliates, trustees, officers,
employees and agents. The Adviser's agreements in this paragraph shall also
extend to any of the Sub-Adviser's successors or the successors of the
aforementioned affiliates, trustees, officers, employees or agents.
(c) Promptly after receipt by a party indemnified under paragraphs 9(a)
and 9(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding, or
investigation for which indemnification will be sought, such indemnified party
shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing; but the omission so to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it
may otherwise have to any indemnified party unless such omission results in
actual material prejudice to the indemnifying party. In case any action or
proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify
the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall
be entitled to participate in and, individually or jointly with any other
indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party
to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of any action or
proceeding, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party
in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. If the indemnifying party does not elect to assume the defense of
any action or proceeding, the indemnifying party on a monthly basis shall
reimburse the indemnified party for the reasonable legal fees and other costs of
defense thereof. Regardless of whether or not the indemnifying party shall have
assumed the defense of any action or proceeding, the indemnified party shall not
settle or compromise the action or proceeding without the prior written consent
of the indemnifying party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
