How does discretionary portfolio management work? 

 

You set the course, dedication keeps you on it


We will work with you to set goals, establish your risk tolerance and discuss future liquidity needs, so we can take care of the day-to-day management and implementation of your investments for you.

 

Selecting a portfolio to suit your profile 


Whether you choose a standard discretionary management solution or one of our customised options, your assets will be invested by us based on your risk profile and your investment objectives. We will guide you through the different features of each option during your portfolio selection.

 

Staying invested for the long term 


Our goal is to continue to achieve solid and sustainable risk-adjusted performance over the long term, with our global network of experts as your constant support throughout.

 

Why choose us to manage your investments? 

  • Navigating market complexity can be demanding and sudden volatility can lead to instinctive reactions. Our discretionary approach is designed to remove emotion from the equation and make investment decisions based on our portfolio managers’ extensive experience as risk managers. 

     

     

  • Strategic asset allocation forms the nucleus of our investment DNA. Our portfolio managers cover investment profiles across multi asset, equities and fixed income, and can design bespoke investment solutions to suit your specific needs.

  • Our Chief Investment Office provides a global perspective, monitoring risks and opportunities across markets and working with your portfolio manager to help react and rebalance your portfolio accordingly.

     

A modular approach to investing, designed for you

 

Our active, modular approach to investing has robust discretionary methodology at its core. We work with you to thoughtfully build a portfolio that best suits your needs, while giving you control and flexibility over how your portfolio is allocated.

 

Built with you in mind, Deutsche Bank’s modular and flexible portfolio combines current market opportunities with leading solutions from our discretionary platform, as well as high-conviction ideas and long-term investment themes. 

 

We provide you with an offering that spans the full range of asset classes, empowering you to invest with confidence.
