DB PB's investment approach emphasizes a reactive asset allocation strategy based on the parent group's Global House View, which is elaborated by Deutsche Bank's worldwide network of regional and local specialists. The firm aims for an integrated investment strategy which allows product development to anticipate asset allocation shifts. At the client level, once the overall portfolio objectives and risk tolerance are assessed, DB PB uses open architecture and tailors their investment approach to their clients' profile. They invest in third-party funds as well as in products managed within the parent group, applying a performance-based selection process. The firm invests globally, onshore and offshore, across a wide variety of asset classes including fixed income, equity, mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, structured products, derivatives, cash deposits, foreign exchange, commodities and real estate.
