DWS Municipal Income Trust: SEC grants temporary order keeping DIMA as fund adviser

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 legal/regulatory Written later

The SEC granted a temporary exemptive order on September 24, 2020, allowing DWS Investment Management Americas (DIMA) to keep providing investment advisory services to the trust after a Deutsche Bank CFTC consent order. The filing says the consent order did not involve the trust or DIMA, and DB and DIMA are seeking a permanent order, which the filing says cannot be assured.

Key points

  • June 17, 2020: Deutsche Bank resolved CFTC charges over swap data reporting failures tied to a five-day system outage in April 2016.
  • Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, DIMA would not otherwise be eligible to advise the trust following the consent order.
  • September 24, 2020: SEC granted a temporary order, effective as of the consent order date, covering the trust and other registered funds.
  • DB and DIMA are seeking a permanent SEC order; the filing states there can be no assurance it will be granted.
