About PPLSX

The DWS Multi-Asset Moderate Allocation Fund - Class S is a diversified open-end mutual fund designed to maximize total return through investment in a broad spectrum of traditional asset classes. As a moderate allocation fund, it typically allocates between 50% and 70% of assets to equities and between 30% and 50% to fixed income securities, aiming to balance growth potential and risk. The fund utilizes a combination of strategic and tactical asset allocation methods, which are periodically monitored and rebalanced to align with its risk objectives. Notable for its exposure to both domestic and international markets, its portfolio includes major holdings in U.S. large-cap equities, investment-grade corporate bonds, government securities, and select real estate and emerging markets instruments. The top investments often comprise exchange-traded funds (ETFs) such as the Xtrackers S&P 500 ESG ETF, iShares Core MSCI Europe ETF, and various fixed income vehicles, reflecting a commitment to diversified sources of return. With an expense ratio positioned in the middle range relative to similar funds and a turnover rate indicative of active risk management, this fund serves investors seeking a balanced approach—pursuing moderate capital appreciation while managing downside risk through broad asset class exposure.
