DWS profits gain as firm cuts costs and warns of tough times ahead

German fund manager says the Covid-19 pandemic makes it 'almost impossible' to say how its finances will pan out for the rest of 2020

DWS Group said on 29 April that pretax profit slightly rose in the first quarter and maintained its mid-term cost-income ratio target.

Deutsche Bank’s asset-management arm said pre-tax profit came in at €173million ($187.5m) from €148m in the previous year. On an adjusted basis, profit before tax was €179m from €153m in the previous year period.
