Summary

  • Later this year, DWS Group plans to rename itself Deutsche Asset Management, according to people familiar with the matter.
  • The Frankfurt-based manager is pursuing the rebrand to raise its profile with institutional clients outside Germany and better tap Deutsche Bank’s global name recognition.
  • DWS is Deutsche Bank AG’s asset-management arm, and the planned name change would align the business more closely with its parent as it seeks larger international mandates.
