Deutsche Bank's DWS is in early discussions with Nippon Life to establish an asset management joint venture in India, aiming to expand in Asia amid regulatory challenges. DWS, managing over €1 trillion in assets, seeks growth opportunities following a failed venture in China. Nippon Life, Japan's largest insurer, already holds a 5% stake in DWS and operates a fund management business in India.
Deutsche Bank's investment arm DWS is in early talks with Japan's Nippon Life to establish an asset management joint venture in India, aiming to expand in Asia. The discussions follow a failed joint venture attempt in China and could leverage recent regulatory changes in India to launch passive funds. Nippon Life, already a 5% stakeholder in DWS, has a significant fund management presence in India.
DWS reported a net profit of €199 million for the quarter, a 37% increase year-on-year, marking the second-highest quarterly profit in its history. Revenues rose 3% to €753 million, driven by strong demand for ETFs, while actively managed funds experienced net outflows. The cost-income ratio improved to 62.2%, with a target of 61.5% for 2025, and the company remains committed to its profit forecast despite a €25 million fine for greenwashing.
DWS is poised to pursue acquisitions amid industry consolidation, with CEO Stefan Hoops stating that the company has completed necessary internal preparations and has ample surplus capital for larger deals. Following a €25 million fine for greenwashing, DWS is now looking to explore potential acquisitions and joint ventures, with a preference for fully integrating any targets.
Deutsche Bank's investment unit is lifting restrictions on defense assets for its funds, a change enabled by new German investment guidelines. This shift could unlock hundreds of billions of euros for defense investments, reflecting a broader trend in Europe as fund managers adapt to geopolitical challenges. The adjustments will allow funds to invest in companies generating significant revenue from defense activities, while still adhering to certain controversial weapons policies.

Deutsche Bank’s DWS has agreed to pay €25 million to settle a German investigation into alleged greenwashing, mirroring a similar US settlement of $19 million with the SEC. Prosecutors found that DWS misrepresented its sustainable finance practices, leading to misleading market perceptions. The firm has acknowledged past marketing excesses and has committed to improving its internal processes.
DWS and Deutsche Bank have initiated a strategic partnership to enhance private credit origination and investment opportunities for DWS clients. This collaboration allows DWS to utilize Deutsche Bank’s extensive sourcing capabilities, with Patrick Connors appointed as global head of private credit at DWS. The move aims to meet strong investor demand for private credit assets, leveraging both firms' expertise in the market.
Adam Hoffman, a former student campaigner against wokeness, graduated from Princeton in 2023 and joined Citadel in 2024 before linking up with Elon Musk’s DOGE in 2025. Meanwhile, Barclays CFO Anna Cross is closely monitoring client returns, and investment banking vacancies are seeing a decline in remote work offers. In Paris, the financial sector faces layoffs as the market shifts, with Deutsche Bank planning to cut 2,000 retail banking jobs amid regulatory challenges.
