About SSDIX

DWS Small Cap Growth Fund is an actively managed mutual fund specializing in U.S. equity, with a primary focus on achieving long-term capital growth. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks and equity securities of smaller capitalization companies, which are typically those in the bottom 20% of the domestic equity market by market capitalization—currently spanning from approximately $14.1 million to $35.4 billion. The portfolio may also allocate up to 20% of assets to non-U.S. companies, including exposure to emerging markets. Notable for its diversified approach, the fund holds around 100 positions across various sectors such as industrials, technology, consumer cyclical, healthcare, and materials. The institutional share class requires a significant minimum investment and maintains an expense ratio that is competitive among its peers, supporting cost efficiency for large investors. With its strategy targeting innovative and growth-oriented small-cap firms, DWS Small Cap Growth Fund plays a key role in offering investors access to potential high-growth segments of the U.S. equity market, complementing broader market or large-cap-focused portfolios.
