Fund info

DWS Equity Sector Strategy Fund Class A is an actively managed U.S. large-cap mutual fund designed to maximize total return. It primarily invests in constituents of the S&P 500, using sector and industry tilts—over- or underweights—based on macro views from the DWS CIO Americas team and the global DWS CIO View to seek excess returns over its benchmark. The portfolio typically centers on blue-chip leaders across information technology, financials, and health care, with flexibility to use derivatives for benchmark-related exposure. The fund’s process emphasizes dynamic allocation among sectors rather than individual stock selection alone, aiming to capture cyclical leadership and manage risk through diversified exposure across the U.S. equity market. Launched in 1996, it offers multiple share classes, with Class A featuring a contractual expense cap, and maintains transparency through regular disclosures of holdings and sector weights. Recent characteristics highlight meaningful allocations to technology and financials, alongside positions in large-cap franchises across communication services and health care, reflecting its role as a core equity option with an active sector-rotation overlay.
