DWS Invest Global Infrastructure

Our society is built on a functioning infrastructure

It connects us, for example, through motorways, electricity grids and railway tracks, provides, among other things, running water in the home and electricity from the socket, and enables telephone calls worldwide and access to the internet around the clock.

The biggest infrastructure drivers at a glance

Railways, fiber optic networks, mobile phone masts - the demand for infrastructure is growing worldwide.

Why operators benefit from infrastructure

Infrastructure projects are usually planned for several years, if not decades. The long terms, combined with fixed contracts, ensure a relatively stable and predictable cash flow for infrastructure operators. The DWS Invest Global Infrastructure LC invests in the stocks of these companies.
