DFRAX Overview
On this page you'll find an in-depth profile of Dws Floating Rate Fund - Class A. Learn about the key management, total assets, investment strategy and contact information of DFRAX among other information.
Investment Strategy
The investment seeks to provide high current income. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in adjustable rate loans that have a senior right to payment ("senior loans") and other floating rate debt securities. Senior loans typically are of below investment-grade quality and, compared to investment grade loans, may pay higher yields and have higher volatility and higher risk of default on payments of interest or principal.
