1Regulation, and the establishment of the Xtrackers Biodiversity Focus SRI suite which aims to 2enable investors to reduce the risks associated with the decline in biodiversity.3Throughout 2023, we further increased the number of illiquid Alternatives funds which 4promote environmental or social characteristics and report under Article 8 SFDR.5The aim to support the transformation of European economies is a key strategic business 6priority for 2023 and beyond. We aim to meet the increasing demand for private capital and 7bridge financing gaps in strategically important areas of transformation. On this basis, in 2023 8we started to leverage existing products as well as develop a family of dedicated investment 9solutions that focuses on different aspects of the European transformation. In addition, 10together with the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, we established the “Centre for 11European Transformation” to support political and economic decision-making and thus to 12promote transformation and growth in Europe with our political partners.13Our Alternatives business is continuously looking to play an active role in supporting the 14climate transition by mobilising private capital to transform European small and medium 15enterprises, commercial and residential real estate as well as infrastructure in the region. In 162023, we developed climate dedicated transition strategies across our real assets' platform 17and further expanded our new product pipeline to meet increasing investor demand.18Organisational Structure 19The Product Division is a global function positioning the product suite as the key differentiator 20and strategic instrument for growth in an increasingly competitive asset management 21industry. 22The Global Head of Product is an Executive Board member and leads the Product Division. 23The Product Division is organized around functions and regions and owns processes across 24the product lifecycle: Starting from the product specific strategic planning process, product 25development, and product launch, the Product Division also steers and manages the product 26suite.27Dedicated ESG teams within the division support our internal investment teams and external 28clients in providing ESG information, analysis, and investment solutions.29Opportunities and Risks 30ESG regulation continues to evolve rapidly, particularly in the EU. There is interpretation and 31clarification of these new regulations as well as the expectation of further regulatory 32requirements which will continue to influence product design, disclosure and reporting with 33respect to ESG components. Further divergence of regulatory regimes between different 34regions could increase challenges on global asset managers but we aim to continue aligning 35our product suite to these evolving regulatory and industry standards. 36Efforts to make global supply chains more resilient against shocks are adding to inflationary 37pressure, among other factors. Geopolitical risks could impact global markets and therefore 38our product suite. Against this background, we will continuously aim to diversify and evolve 39our product suite to address these risks.40We see interest in climate related products, particularly climate transition, which could 41provide opportunities for us as an asset manager.42Targets and Measures 43Based on our global ESG Framework, the following products were considered as ESG AuM as 44at the end of 2023:45– Liquid actively managed products: retail mutual funds which follow the “DWS ESG 46Investment Standard” filter, or have a “sustainable investment objective”, and US mutual 47funds which have been labelled as ESG and seek to adhere to an ESG investment strategy.48– Xtrackers ETFs which apply a screen comparable to the “DWS ESG Investment Standard” 49filter, or which track indices that comply with the EU Benchmark regulation on EU Climate 50Transition Benchmarks and EU Paris-Aligned Benchmarks, or have a “sustainable 51investment objective”, and other liquid passively managed funds which have been labelled 52as ESG and/or seek to adhere to an ESG investment strategy.53– Liquid mandates or special funds for institutional clients or white label products in-scope of 54SFDR and that report pursuant to Article 8 SFDR which follow the “DWS ESG Investment 55Standard” filter or a comparable ESG filter aligned with the client or which are in scope of 56SFDR and report pursuant to Article 9 SFDR.57– Liquid mandates or special funds for institutional clients or white label products which are 58out of scope of SFDR but comply with certain of the “General Industry Standards and 59Guidelines for Sustainable Investing”. 60– Illiquid products which are in scope of SFDR and report pursuant to Article 9 SFDR61– Illiquid products which are out of scope of SFDR but which have a “sustainable investment 62objective”.63 64To our Shareholders Summarised 65Management Report66Consolidated 67Financial Statements Compensation Report Corporate Govern-68ance Statement69Supplementary 70Information DWS 2023 Annual Report71 72Our Responsibility7330 Sustainable Action
