Team / Division Overview

DWS’ infrastructure business has a more than 25-year heritage: it was first established in 1994 as NSW State Super (a large Australian pension fund) sought to create an infrastructure investment portfolio through direct investments and funds. This business became RREEF Infrastructure in 2004, which has since become a core part of the asset management business that is today DWS Group.

The private infrastructure business manages more than €17bn euros across equity and debt, including the flagship Pan European Infrastructure (“PEIF”) series and the complementary lower mid cap Sustainable Growth Infrastructure Fund (“SGIF”). DWS Infrastructure is currently fundraising for two funds:

• PEIF IV – fourth fund in an award-winning, top quartile European mid-cap strategy. As of February 2025, raised €1.6bn of a target €4.0 bn.

• SGIF – first fund in a complementary lower mid-cap strategy, focused on the sustainability thematic. As of February 2025, raised €330m of a target €500m.

As part of the Infrastructure Specialist team, you will help to develop and maintain client relationships on behalf of the infrastructure platform.
