About DESRX

DWS ESG Core Equity Fund - Class R is a mutual fund focused on large-cap U.S. equities, systematically managed using proprietary, industry-specific multi-factor models. Its primary objective is long-term growth of capital, along with current income and growth of income. The fund emphasizes environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors by investing primarily in companies that meet the advisor’s sustainability criteria. These criteria include robust assessments related to climate and transition risks, such as carbon footprint and water conservation, as well as broader ESG considerations like corporate governance and social responsibility. At least 80% of the fund’s net assets are invested in equities that satisfy these standards, while up to 20% may be allocated to non-ESG qualifying investments, including derivatives. The portfolio is broadly diversified across industries, with top holdings typically encompassing leading technology firms. DWS ESG Core Equity Fund - Class R aims to provide ethically aware investors with exposure to high-quality, large-cap U.S. stocks while integrating sustainability into its investment process, thereby playing a significant role in the growing ESG investment landscape.
