Overview

DWS Alternatives Global Limited is organized as a private equity fund vehicle that serves institutional clients. Registered in 2006, the firm is owned by a mix of foreign entities and individuals and operates as a manager and sponsor across pooled investment vehicles. Its stated activities include acting as a CPO/CTA and providing portfolio management for investment companies, pooled vehicles, and businesses or institutions, plus selection of other advisers. The firm reports an institutional client base, charges fees that include a percentage of AUM and performance-based components, and identifies as an active ESG investor. Industry affiliations span broker-dealer relationships, other investment adviser roles, registered security‑based swap dealer status, futures commission merchant functions, banking or trust company links, and sponsor/GP or managing-member roles for pooled vehicles. The combination of advisory, sponsor and operational roles suggests the firm both allocates to and organizes alternative strategies internally and through external managers.
