Crypto World News reports that DWS Group, an asset management company under Deutsche Bank, said that the volatility triggered by the Iran war and its impact on global markets caused its first-quarter net inflows to slow. In the three months through March, long-term net inflows totaled €6.6 billion, down from €8 billion in the previous quarter and €11.7 billion in the same period last year. DWS said that after a “steady” start to the year, “since the end of February, as the geopolitical environment has significantly worsened, uncertainty has increased, volatility has intensified, and pressures on markets, energy prices and inflation have challenged positive momentum.” The €6.6 billion inflow is only half of the quarterly average needed for DWS to achieve its goal of attracting more than €160 billion in fund inflows from 2026 to 2028. The company’s asset management scale rose 0.7% quarter-on-quarter to €1.09 trillion.
