About the Teams

DWS Product Specialists, Development & Lifecycle Active

As part of the global DWS Product Division, our Product Specialist teams represent the center of competence for delivering the right products and solutions to our clients. This requires us to be experts in our respective asset classes and client segments, in order to adequately represent our portfolio teams in front of clients. In this function, we act as intersection between our sales teams and the portfolio managers. In addition, we aspire to be innovators across the value chain which entails the launch of new products & solutions, pricing optimizations and being on the road to discuss with clients and distribution partners their individual investment needs.

Additionally, our Product Trends team focuses on a streamlined approach to identifying market opportunities for global DWS products, leading to a defined product strategy and ambitions. Therefore, Product Trends centers on trends and signals identification, capability assessment, and prioritization.

Structuring

The structuring team of DWS develops investment solutions for our retail and institutional investors worldwide. While the focus of activities lies on quantitative aspects, also regulatory and / or accounting issues relating to the developed investment solutions are being analyzed.

Product Management

The Product Management team drives success globally by advising on and implementing product events timely and efficiently, hand-in-hand with our partners across DWS, by promoting sound governance and agile and entrepreneurial engagement.

We are a global team of around 100 professionals responsible for the liquid Active fund platforms within DWS with regards to lifecycle management (ie maintenance/closure/merger of existing fund range and launch of new funds; product related regulatory- and fund-registration issues, including production of regulatory required documents), platform solutions (ie new platforms where needed or enhance existing platforms; implement new corporate structures), the product governance process (ie assessment of and decision of implementation regarding product ideas with respect to operational, legal and regulatory feasibility) and seed money governance.

We also have the responsibility for the institutional client onboarding (excluding KYC), including legal documentation (eg investment management agreements for segregated managed accounts, derivative agreements like ISDA, delegation agreements and documentation for German Spezialfonds).
