About SSDCX

DWS Small Cap Growth Fund - Class C is a mutual fund designed to pursue long-term capital growth by investing predominantly in equities of small-cap U.S. companies. The fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to stocks and related securities of firms whose market capitalizations align with those found in the Russell 2000 Index, focusing on businesses considered to be in the early or rapid stages of growth. By targeting the small-cap growth segment, the fund emphasizes companies with high potential for earnings and revenue expansion, often selecting firms operating in dynamic or emerging industries. This investment approach inherently brings increased volatility and risk, as small companies tend to be more sensitive to market fluctuations and economic changes than their larger counterparts. Managed by DWS, the fund provides investors with exposure to a diverse portfolio of approximately 100 holdings, aiming to capitalize on innovation and growth trends among U.S. small-cap stocks. The fund is suited for investors seeking participation in the growth potential of smaller, fast-growing companies, while accepting the associated higher volatility and risk characteristic of the small-cap growth asset class.
