Deutsche Bank’s asset management business is to rebrand as DWS Investments in the Australian retail market in October 2007.

This means that existing funds within the Australian retail asset management business will be known as DWS Investments from 8 October. New products and enhanced capabilities will follow.

Deutsche will also rebrand its fund-of-fund hedge fund products as RREEF funds, this being DBAM’s global alternative investment management business.

The DWS Investments distribution team will continue to distribute RREEF funds and provide advisor and investor services in Australia.
