At the same time, the allegations made against DWS and myself in past months have become a burden for the company, as well as for my family and me. In order to protect the institution and those closest to me, I would like to clear the way for a fresh start.”

“Asoka Woehrmann has played a major role in the success of our Asset Management in recent years.
