"This innovative addition to the CROCI platform offers investors a compelling and unique opportunity to gain exposure to undervalued, large-cap equities based on our proprietary stock-valuation methodology" said Joe Hall, Head of CROCI in the Americas. "This product is yet another example of Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management’s ability to create high-quality, systematic investment strategies for our clients who are seeking to capture the returns of ‘real’ value in the market."

The Fund leverages Deutsche Bank’s proprietary stock-valuation methodology, CROCI, to select approximately 30 stocks from the S&P 500 Index, STOXX Europe Large 200 Index and TOPIX 100 Index.

CROCI is a fundamentally-driven process which seeks to improve stock selection and enhance portfolio management by identifying the "real" value in the market, based on CROCI Economic P/E.

In this fund, CROCI selects the three sectors with the lowest, median trailing 12-month Economic P/E. From each sector, it selects 10 stocks with the lowest positive trailing 12-month Economic P/E, resulting in a portfolio of 30 stocks, rebalanced quarterly.
