Every beginning is easy – with the right companion by your side

It can be exciting and challenging at the same time, for example learning a foreign language, playing a new instrument or getting your motorbike licence. At first it feels like having all thumbs. But with practice and support from an expert, it gets much better straight away.

DWS Invest Conservative Opportunities aims to offer a defensive entry into securities investment with active management.

Determine the basic orientation!

What interests are being pursued?

Investment operates within three competing interests.
 

Orientation

Investors should know their preferences of opportunity for return, need for security and liquidity and decide what is important to them.

Additional return means additional risk. Security - as in a savings book, for example - hardly yields any interest. If you realize this, you are already a decisive step ahead.
Orientierung

The DWS Invest Conservative Opportunities aims to preserve capital over a 3-year period.[1]

Assess the need for safety!

Take a look at the risk classes.

To find out how risky or profitable an investment could be, it helps to look at the risk class[2].
 

  • The aim of risk classes is to make the risk content of different financial instruments comparable.

  • A higher risk class indicates a higher risk.

  • A financial instrument classified in the lowest risk class is not a risk-free investment!

Find the risk class you are comfortable with!

Recognizing earnings opportunities and keeping an eye on risks

No return without risks

If you want to achieve returns, you should be able to take a certain amount of risk. What is important is how high it is and how it is handled.
 

Risk and return assessment of investments
  • One measure of the risk of an investment is the expected degree of fluctuation in the value of an investment (volatility).
  • The lower the fluctuation, the higher the security is rated.[1]
  • On the other hand, higher fluctuations also mean higher earnings opportunities.
Chart

The target degree of fluctuation of DWS Invest Conservative Opportunities is two to five percent per year.

Invest and leave on

The probability of making profits[3] on the stock market increases with the length of time invested.
 

Even if a mixed fund is a liquid investment - because fund units can be bought and redeemed every trading day - it is usually worth leaving the capital for longer. The longer it is hold, the more fluctuations can be balanced out and the chance of returns increases.

 

The longer money can be dispensed with, the better

Historical average stock market return in per cent per year (basis: MSCI World Index)..

For example, investors were able to generate an average return of 10.9 percent per year for an investment period of 10 years. In the worst case, the annual return was -8.4 percent, in the best case 22.0 percent.

Risks[7]

  • Market-, industry, and company-related exchange rate fluctuations.

  • Exchange rate fluctuations.

  • The unit value may fall below the purchase price at which the client acquired the unit.

  • Due to its composition/the techniques used by the fund management, the investment fund exhibits increased volatility, i.e. the unit prices may be subject to greater downward or upward fluctuations even within short periods of time.

  • The Fund invests a substantial portion in other funds. When investing in other funds, it must be considered that several target funds may pursue identical or opposing investment strategies. This may result in an accumulation of existing risks, and any opportunities for returns may cancel each other out.

  • The fund enters into a significant number of derivative transactions with various counterparties. A derivative is a financial instrument whose value depends on the performance of one or more underlying assets. Due to its design (e.g. due to a leverage effect), it can influence the Fund more strongly than is the case with the direct acquisition of the underlying assets.

  • Price losses due to yield increases in the bond markets: If interest rates and/or yields in the bond market rise, newly issued bonds will have a higher interest rate than those already in circulation. Consequently, the price of the bonds in circulation will fall. When selling such bonds prior to their maturity, price losses may therefore arise.
  • Issuer credit and default risk. This is generally understood to mean the risk of over-indebtedness or insolvency, i.e. the possible temporary or permanent inability to meet interest and/or repayment obligations on time.
