DWS has agreed to acquire 100 percent of Peakside Capital Advisors, expanding its European real estate investment capabilities.
The acquisition will add Peakside’s value-add and opportunistic investment expertise in Germany and Central and Eastern Europe to DWS’s Alternatives platform. Peakside manages more than €1.7 billion ($2 billion) in assets, primarily on behalf of institutional investors.
Peakside’s owners and senior management team will remain with the business following completion of the transaction, providing continuity as the platform is integrated within DWS.
The transaction is expected to close by year-end 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
