DWS CONCEPT PLATOW
The DWS Concept Platow is a mutual fund focusing on German equity. It was launched in May 2006 as "DB Platinum III Platow", with Christoph Frank (continuously) and Roger Peeters (with interruption) acting as advisors ever since, since September 2016 in the pfp Advisory.
An in-depth analysis of the entire German stock market is the basis for all investment processes. Important elements include a tried and tested stock-picking process developed over many years by Christoph Frank, careful balance sheet analysis and hundreds of conversations with executives and other company insiders every year. The result is a portfolio of about 35 to 60 stocks of companies either headquartered in Germany or doing a large part of their business there. The opportunities and risks presented by individual companies’ equity are crucial, while macroeconomic considerations and inclusion in a stock index are mostly immaterial. That is why the DWS Concept Platow Fund’s portfolio usually differs substantially from the composition of major stock indices.
This unique approach has paid off for Investors in an exceptional outperformance over the small-cap index SDAX. Morningstar counts the DWS Concept Platow among the best in its class. Renowned rating agencies like Lipper and FWW have also awarded it top ratings. In the past years, the DWS Concept Platow was awarded the “German Fund Award” (2015, 2016, 2023 and 2024) and several times a “Lipper Award” in the “Equity Germany” category (2015, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023).
