DWS has formed a partnership with iCapital, the global platform driving access to alternative investments for the wealth management industry, to make DWS’s global Alternative Investment funds available via iCapital’s Marketplace.
“We see significant opportunity in the growing demand for alternative assets such as real estate, infrastructure and private credit from the private wealth channel globally, including bespoke opportunities that seek to match higher returns with an appropriate risk/return profile. We’re pleased to partner with iCapital to increase the availability of our Alternatives fund range in this important growth sector for DWS,” said Paul Kelly, global head of alternatives at DWS.
The partnership will enable U.S.-based wealth managers and high-net-worth investors to access the return and diversification opportunities offered by DWS’s Alternative solutions. DWS has a 50-year heritage in alternative investments, with more than €114 billion ($
