This product series consists of mixed funds managed dynamically without benchmark indices and with integrated risk management. The individual portfolios have different risk-return profiles from which investors can choose depending on their risk appetite. The DWS ESG Dynamic Opportunities is the most offensive option and aims to generate equity-like returns over the medium term with significantly lower volatility.One of the "golden rules" of investing is to spread capital across different securities or several asset classes such as equities and bonds in order to reduce risk. The fact that this diversification continues to work in principle was demonstrated again as recently as the hot phase of the coronavirus crisis in the spring of 2020. In order to still be able to generate attractive returns in the face of negative real bond yields, the idea of increasing the equity component of multi-asset portfolios is obvious. "This makes it all the more important to deal properly with the higher risk this entails," says Christoph Schmidt, portfolio manager of DWS ESG Dynamic Opportunities, which is now worth around EUR 3.45 billion[1]. 1. * As of: 15 November 2021 Nov 10, 2021 Press DWS achieves final close on maiden mid-life secondaries Private Equity Solutions fund Nov 03, 2021 CIO VIEW QUARTERLY NEWS- LETTER Quick Access DWS KGaA CIO View Facts & Figures Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement (PDF) Engagement Policy (PDF) Information on sustainability Copyright © 2021 DWS Cookies Policy We use cookies and similar technologies that are essential to operate our websites.
