DWS real estate funds: stock market prices with high discounts

Munich. The three open real estate funds “Grundgenossenschaft Global”, “Grundimmobilien Europa” and “Fokus Deutschland” from the provider DWS are currently traded on the stock exchange at discounts of up to 27 percent on the net asset value.

Together, the three DWS funds represent assets of more than 8.2 billion euros. How customers should behave now:
