DWS Investments Singapore recognised at the SBR International Business Awards 2025

The award is in recognition of its record sales and strong employee engagement initiatives.

DWS Investments Singapore has been named the winner of the Financial Services category at the 2025 SBR International Business Awards, in recognition of its strong business performance and meaningful community engagement initiatives.

The accolade highlights a milestone year for the firm, marked by record growth and continued contribution to the local community. Over the past three years, DWS Singapore has achieved a 94% increase in assets under management (AUM), with a 64% rise in net flows in the 2024 fiscal year surpassing the industry’s 11% average growth, making it one of the fastest-growing asset managers in Singapore – driven in part by strong inflows into its Xtrackers ETFs.

Its flagship Asia real estate fund, managed out of Singapore, has also delivered consistent outperformance versus peers and its benchmark since its inception in 2018.

As part of DWS Group—one of the world’s leading asset managers with more than EUR1t in AUM—DWS Singapore plays a strategic role as a regional hub for alternatives, a distribution gateway to Southeast Asia, and a Centre of Excellence for infrastructure expertise.

A key driver of the firm’s success is its strong workplace culture, underpinned by a commitment to employee engagement and corporate responsibility. This year, the firm celebrates a decade-long partnership with the People’s Association of Singapore through its “Bless A Child, Share A Love” initiative, which supports over 150 underprivileged children and their families during the festive season through donations, gifts, and volunteer involvement. Employees also contributed their time to local organisations such as the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped, Dignity Kitchen, and a food donation drive.

The recognition from the SBR International Business Awards reflects DWS Singapore’s continued growth, client focus, and community spirit. The team remains dedicated to delivering high-quality asset management services while fostering a culture of respect, collaboration, and impact.
