- DWS Science and Technology Fund (KTCIX) is a mutual fund that seeks capital growth by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks of U.S. companies within the science and technology sector; this includes securities of initial public offerings, emerging growth companies, and up to 35% in foreign securities, including those from emerging markets. The fund offers multiple share classes, including Institutional (KTCIX), Class A (KTCAX), Class C (KTCCX), and Class S (KTCSX), providing exposure to advanced innovation driven by scientific discovery and technological development across subsectors such as software, semiconductors, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and hardware exemplified by holdings like Box Inc., Cadence Design Systems, CyberArk Software, and Dynatrace. Managed by DWS Investment Management Americas Inc., a subsidiary of DWS Group headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, with key U.S. operations in New York, NY, the fund was incepted in September 1948 and targets institutional and retail investors seeking long-term growth in the technology industry. In recent developments, the fund has demonstrated strong performance with net assets reaching approximately $1.52 billion as of April 30, 2024, reflecting significant inflows and a net increase of $379.8 million in net assets for the six months ended on that date, driven by positive operations and share transactions amid robust technology sector returns. Portfolio management remains led by Daniel Fletcher, CFA, who began managing the fund in 2017 and brings over two decades of equity research and portfolio management experience from prior roles at Neuberger Berman. The fund continues to emphasize U.S.-centric technology equities while maintaining flexibility for global exposure, with no reported major acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic shifts in the last 1-2 years, positioning it as a consistent performer in the sector with annualized returns supporting its Zacks Mutual Fund Rank #1 status.
