About SLANX
DWS Latin America Equity Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in Latin American equities. At least 80% of its net assets are allocated to common stocks and other equity securities of companies that are either headquartered in, have a majority of their business in, or are primarily traded within Latin America. This includes countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Panama, and Peru, as well as the Spanish-speaking islands of the Caribbean. The fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in securities from outside the region, including U.S. and non-Latin American issuers, and may hold a limited allocation to debt instruments, including high-yield (junk) bonds. The portfolio is diversified across various sectors—such as financial services, basic materials, industrials, and energy—targeting established companies that play a significant role in the region’s economic development. The fund is managed using a blend of bottom-up stock selection, macro analysis, and quantitative tools to identify compelling investment opportunities in Latin American markets.
