DWS announced today that its Chief Investment Officer, Vincenzo Vedda, will assume responsibility for the entire Investment Division starting from May 1, 2026. The scope also includes the Illiquid Assets segment, previously led by Stefan Hoops.
The move completes the transition that began in August 2025, when Vedda joined the Board of Directors as Chief Investment Officer with responsibility for Liquid Assets, while also jointly leading the Investment Division. With the transition to unified responsibility, DWS entrusts the Division to a single Board member, with the stated goal of strengthening customer focus and market effectiveness.
"Since joining the Board of Directors, Enzo has demonstrated deep investment expertise, determination, and a clear sense of responsibility. Under his leadership, our investment division has further organized itself, becoming even more transparent and performance-oriented, and ensuring even better results for our clients."
Oliver Behrens, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of DWS
