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.

The portfolio is broadly diversified across industries, with top holdings typically encompassing leading technology firms.
