“DWS is a highly regarded franchise in APAC with a strong business strategy," said Wang. Its broad range of products provides a solid foundation for the tailored and bespoke solutions DWS is able to offer APAC investors and its presence in many APAC markets gives the firm the capability to develop meaningful relationships. I look forward to broadening and deepening our client relationships further to ensure DWS is providing the relevant solutions for investors’ evolving needs.”

Holger Naumann, who previously had also led the Client Coverage Division in APAC for DWS, will continue in his role as Regional Head for the APAC region and take an active role with the firm’s clients and strategic partners.
