Deutsche Asset Management has a long and distinguished history as a financial services organisation. Formerly known as Morgan Grenfell, our organisation dates back to 1838 when it was established as a London-based merchant bank. The asset management division was established in the early 1950s, and by the 1960s was investing on behalf of international clients. Deutsche Asset Management became part of Deutsche Bank AG in 1990, and in 1995 was given responsibility for all of the Bank's institutional asset management business.

In Asia, Deutsche Asset Management is represented by Deutsche Asset Management (Asia) Limited. The office was established in Singapore in 1987, and is the centre of excellence for the Group's Asia ex Japan investments. It is also the regional centre responsible for marketing and client relationships in Asia. DeAM also has marketing offices in Hong Kong, South Korea and India, which serve to actively source both institutional and retail funds from both within and outside the region.

Deutsche Asset Management (Asia) Limited manages portfolios of investments across all major Asian asset classes including, equities, fixed income and cash. In addition, we provide direct access to Deutsche Asset Management's international expertise across a wide range of asset classes and products. Deutsche Asset Management is one of the few managers in Asia that combines a local presence with the resources of a global network and the discipline of a global investment process.

Investment Philosophy
We are bottom up, active, 'growth at a reasonable price' managers with a transparent process. DeAM believe that we can deliver investment performance that consistently beat our clients' agreed benchmarks through applying a rigorous, disciplined and active investment process. The sources of value added are primarily stock selection but also asset allocation. Both are conducted within a risk-controlled environment. Stock selection and asset allocation decisions are taken separately, but they are mutually reliant on the inputs of each process.

Our stock selection philosophy is based on the following simple but powerful beliefs:  stock selection, not sector selection, represents the major opportunity to add value; the greatest share price opportunities arise as a result of change; the underlying value of a company is determined by its long term prospects; and sustainable net cash flow return is the key variable when analysing a company.

Proprietary research can help identify the factors that influence the long term prospects of companies. Our key skills are the identification of key variables affecting asset prices and the isolation of views that differ from consensus. We can offer a range of different products that meet individual needs and the objectives of our clients, all drawing on our basic skill set.
