DWS Variable NAV MF Live
DWS Variable NAV Money Fund went live last week. The fund's prospectus says, "The fund is managed in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which governs the quality, maturity, diversity and liquidity of instruments in which a money fund may invest. The fund is a money market fund that is designed to serve as a complementary product to traditional stable value money market funds. Unlike a traditional money market fund, the fund will not use the amortized cost method of valuation and does not seek to maintain a stable share price of $1.00. As a result, the fund's share price, which is its net asset value per share (NAV), will vary and reflect the effects of unrealized appreciation and depreciation and realized losses and gains. Because the fund will not use the amortized cost method of valuation, the Advisor believes that the likelihood of redemptions by shareholders solely to avoid unrealized depreciation or realized losses will be mitigated, but there is no guarantee that the fund will not experience redemptions based upon unrealized depreciation, realized losses or other factors." DWS will host a conference call entitled, "Innovation driven investing: Preparing for new market realities" on Thursday at 1pm.
