DWS has been named Passive Management Group of the Year at the Investment Week magazine 2018 Specialist Investment Awards.
In presenting the award BBC journalist Tanya Beckett highlighted the greater traction DWS's Xtrackers exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are gaining in the UK market as well as success in new innovative launches.
For example, in May 2018, building on previous success in the area of responsible investing, DWS launched a new range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) Xtrackers ETFs. The four new ETFs provide exposure to ESG-filtered equity indices tracking global, US, Japanese and European markets.
