About AAAZX
DWS RREEF Real Assets Fund - Class Institutional is a mutual fund that primarily targets capital appreciation and income by investing in a diversified mix of real assets. As an institutional share class, it features a relatively high minimum investment threshold and is typically designed for large-scale investors such as pensions, endowments, and foundations. The fund follows a global, moderately aggressive allocation strategy, aiming to deliver total returns exceeding inflation through both capital growth and current income.
Central to its approach, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a basket of underlying funds emphasizing alternative or non-traditional asset categories, especially sectors like real estate, energy, utilities, and government securities. Its top holdings often include major players in these sectors, providing strong exposure to inflation-sensitive assets and diversified global infrastructure.
With an expense ratio of 0.90% and semi-annual distributions, the fund is noted for its disciplined investment process and experienced management team. Since its inception in 2007, it has been recognized for delivering compelling risk-adjusted returns and for serving as a strategic allocation for investors seeking broad real asset exposure.
