After investigation, the SEC found that DWS issued deceptive statements about how it employs ESG factors when doing research and making recommendations. In view of the charges, the company did not follow sound policies and procedures to ensure the accuracy of its ESG-based offerings.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>

Importantly, those AML obligations require mutual funds to establish and implement individualized programs to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorism financing. I congratulate the Asset Management Unit for bringing this important mutual fund AML enforcement action.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559685":720,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p></blockquote>
