Deutsche Asset Management 
Deutsche Bank’s Asset Management business is one of the world’s largest investment management organisations. We have offices all over the world, allowing us to draw on a breadth of investment skills, resources and insights to enhance the service that we deliver to investors.

In Australia, Deutsche Bank’s asset management business is comprised of a specialist team wholly dedicated to institutional investment across infrastructure, property securities, fixed income and equities.

Our institutional philosophy is based on two fundamental, but equally important principles. Firstly, as a fiduciary, Deutsche Asset Management always endeavours to act in the best interests of our clients. Secondly, as a business, Deutsche Asset Management commits to helping our clients fulfil their investment goals. Everything we do, from our global investment platform and broad research capabilities to our sophisticated risk management systems, is dedicated to this purpose.

Our Australian and New Zealand business leverages the competitive advantages that come from our global strength in asset management and financial markets. Through our market-leading global brands - RREEF Alternative Investments, DB Advisors, Deutsche Insurance Asset Management and DWS Investments, and our retail distribution partner Ironbark Asset Management, we specialise in delivering alternative investments, innovative global products and global insurance solutions to our clients.

Capabilities
Infrastructure

Deutsche Asset Management’s infrastructure capabilities are offered by RREEF Infrastructure. RREEF has been investing in and actively managing infrastructure assets since the mid-1990s. Value is created for its infrastructure clients with a strong fiduciary focus and RREEF’s role as an independent manager where client interests are considered paramount. Clients also benefit from RREEF’s extensive direct regional experience in all aspects of the infrastructure investment life cycle including acquisition, enhancement through active asset management and exit.

RREEF’s active management approach is designed to mitigate investment risks and lead to improve efficiency, profitability and alignment. RREEF also seeks to influence operations through its control rights.

RREEF Alternative Investments
Property Securities

Deutsche Asset Management’s property securities capabilities are offered by RREEF Securities. RREEF’s dedicated real estate securities team have been managing real estate securities since 1993 and global strategies since 2004. RREEF’s investment process has been substantially unchanged since its inception and follows a clearly defined philosophy aimed to deliver performance through detailed stock and market research. The team seeks to maximise returns to clients by investing in a select number of real estate securities with strong cash flow growth potential and to uncover hidden value or earnings surprises by understanding the companies’ existing portfolios and potential to acquire or develop assets under attractive terms.

Key strategies include Australian property securities and Global REITs.

RREEF Alternative Investments
Fixed Income

Deutsche Asset Management’s fixed income team has developed an innovative approach to meeting investors’ need for attractive risk-adjusted returns with low volatility. The team’s approach to optimising risk adjusted returns is to utilise independent, active, global alpha strategies from traditional, mature and relatively liquid fixed income strategies. Importantly, Deutsche Asset Management does not rely solely on credit markets to deliver returns. There are currently over 200 different investment overlay strategies researched by our alpha specialists.

Key strategies for Australian clients include Cash + 250bps and Bonds + 150bps.
