Key information
The DWS Concept DJE Responsible Invest is a mixed fund that invests worldwide in equities (min. 25%) and bonds of sustainable companies (green bonds). Companies that exert a positive influence on society through products, processes or special commitment are considered sustainable. In addition, the fund may only invest in companies whose CO2 emissions are below very strict limits. This CO2 filter manifests itself in a very low carbon footprint at fund level. Investments in green bonds are bonds whose proceeds flow into pre-defined green projects - these can include reforestation projects, the establishment of recycling cycles or the improvement of drinking water treatment. The fund is fully geared to globally valid sustainability requirements.

Investment approach
DJE works with MSCI ESG Research, a leading international provider of environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysis and ratings. The investment universe is examined on the basis of ESG filters. The fund management of the DWS Concept DJE Responsible Invest analyzes the closer selection qualitatively and invests in what it considers to be the most promising ESG leading stocks. Excluded are companies that violate United Nations regulations on human rights, labour rights and environmental protection or that generate more than 5% of their sales through weapons, gambling, nuclear energy, power plant coal or genetically modified seeds. On the equity side, the focus is on companies that have a positive impact on society and the environment. On the bond side, the fund invests primarily in "green bonds", i.e. bonds issued by companies that meet ESG criteria. Investment in government bonds is not the focus of attention, but is possible, provided there are no exclusion criteria such as high corruption, lack of freedom of the press or weak civil rights.

Monthly Commentary
In June the stock markets suffered again heavy losses - with the exception of China and Hong Kong. Persistently high inflation put pressure on the stock markets from two sides: As part of its increasingly restrictive monetary policy, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised its key interest rates by 75 basis points to the range of 1.50 to 1.75% in order to curb inflation in the United States. Meanwhile, the ECB has also announced its departure from the zero interest rate policy. Inflation also weighed on consumer sentiment and the mood of purchasing managers. This is also likely to have an impact on the beginning reporting season for the second quarter, where only very cautious profit and sales forecasts are expected. Bond markets reacted to monetary policy and the continuing tense geopolitical situation and experienced a very volatile month with yields rising slightly in the end. The gold price came under pressure in view of the appreciating US dollar and rising bond yields. On the international stock markets, all sectors without exception performed negatively in June. The sectors with the highest price losses were basic materials, energy, chemicals, and financial institutions and media. Relatively the best performing sectors, i.e. with the smallest discounts, were healthcare, personal care & pharmaceuticals and food & beverages. In this market environment the price of the DWS Concept DJE Responsible Invest fell by -5.54%. In June the fund benefited, among others, from its positions in technology investor Prosus (Netherlands) and IT companies Alibaba and JD.com (online trading platforms; both China). On the other hand, the three German companies Aurubis (copper production), Zalando (online mail order) and Compleo Charging Solutions (charging solutions for electric vehicles) performed particularly disappointing. At the end of the month, prices denominated in US and Hong Kong dollars were partially currency-hedged.

The performance is calculated using the BVI (Bundesverband Investment und Asset Management e.V.) method, i.e. without taking into account the subscription fee. Individual expenses such as fees, commissions and other charges are not taken into account in the data and would have a detrimental effect on the performance if they were. The subscription fees payable reduce the invested capital as well as the performance depicted. Data on past performance are not a reliable indicator of future performance.
