About KTCCX

DWS Science and Technology Fund - Class C is a U.S. equity mutual fund that specializes in investments across the science and technology sectors. Its primary goal is capital growth, achieved by allocating at least 80% of its assets to common stocks of companies engaged in industries such as aerospace, electronics, software, medicine and biotechnology, geology, and oceanography. While the fund predominantly targets domestic (U.S.) equities, it may also invest up to 35% of its net assets in foreign and emerging market securities, providing a degree of global exposure. Managed by DWS, a global asset management firm, the fund holds a diversified portfolio—recent top holdings include leading technology names like Meta Platforms, Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Broadcom, and Alphabet. Its market capitalization mix is weighted toward giant and large-cap companies, but it also includes medium, small, and micro-cap stocks. Class C shares are designed to lower the barrier to entry with a modest minimum investment amount and an expense ratio of 1.75%. The fund is tailored for investors seeking targeted exposure to the innovation-driven science and technology industries within a mutual fund structure.
