Investment Approach

Global research, local expertise Our investment philosophy is driven by the Global Chief Investment Office (CIO), a central hub of research and intellectual thinking. This team of over 100 specialists offers a comprehensive wealth of expertise to help you make your money work harder for you. Strategically allocating assets, undertaking broad market research, and actively managing risks, the CIO team guides the investment of your assets on a sector wide basis across all major asset classes. Using both qualitative and quantitative skills, the CIO along with the team of portfolio managers (a total of over 120 experts) ensures that your investment portfolio is constantly attuned to your personal risk profile, investment requirements and your values. Your wealth manager may choose from either fully discretionary mandates and in which the CIO and portfolio managers continuously adjust your investment portfolios or, where you prefer to act upon the recommendations of the investment team and thus retain full discretion for your investment decisions, advisory mandates – along the lines of institutional research, but allowing you to retain an active decision-making role. Our integrated approach uses the expertise of the Global CIO and the expertise of the Deutsche Bank Wealth Management portfolio management team, in conjunction with an open architecture sourcing the best-in-class external managers together with DWS and Deutsche Bank products. We offer access to alternative investments such as private equity, hedge funds, real estate, infrastructure and commodities, thus broadening your investment options and giving you additional sources of diversification in the event of market fluctuations. At Deutsche Bank Wealth Management, our ESG integration is an integral part of our investment process. From exclusionary and positive stock screening and thematic investing, to impact investing and Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) research on sovereign debt – you can choose from a number of ESG options, reflecting your values and your portfolio diversification goals. Our flagship Strategic Asset Allocation solution, for example, makes use of an exclusion-based ESG process. This represents the scale of our commitment to sustainable investment.

Client Focus

Minimum investment: €3 million Deutsche Bank Wealth Management advises high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Entrepreneurial clients are a core focus, which was confirmed by Deutsche Bank being awarded World’s Best Private Bank for Entrepreneurs by Euromoney in 2025. The client segments are: - Entrepreneurs and family business owners - Global families requiring cross-border structuring advice - Single and multi-family offices - Next-generation clients navigating the transfer of wealth - Foundations requiring investment management as well as philanthropy advice The Global Hausbank concept is particularly beneficial for entrepreneurs requiring comprehensive wealth and business advice. This can be provided by only a few banks, as most competitors do not have an investment bank and corporate bank. Deutsche Bank Wealth Management is actively expanding its business in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, with the aim of more than doubling the assets under management in these regions over the next five years. At the same time, the restructuring of the German business into regional units for private banking and wealth management is expected to further enhance the client experience. Families seeking a truly global, highly institutional organisation with many years of market experience will also be in good hands with Deutsche Bank Wealth Management – as they have been for the past 155 years.
