DWS spent its first years as a listed company dogged by problems mostly of its own making. Multiple leadership changes left it without a clear strategy or a sense of what it wanted to be, and it lacked control over a cost base largely set by parent Deutsche Bank. To top it all, a greenwashing scandal hit while assets were already leaving.
DWS is a leader in the attractive German retail market with a 25%-plus share. Outside of Deutsche Bank, DWS has other long-term distribution agreements, some of which give it full or partial exclusivity.
DWS' move toward passive strategies makes it more reliant on a highly competitive and less differentiated part of asset management.
