onyx, it really depends on your own situation. If you have realised capital losses either in the current year or carried from prior years to offset the gains, you may consider to sell at a higher sp before the ex-dividend date.

DWS has a tradition of high dividend payout ratio and it's debt free. Even with today's sp, it gives you almost 8% return on dividend or 11% if including the franking credits. The company is undergoing some growth strategies to increase their market shares and I can see its PE ratio going up in the medium term.

That said, if you still feel uncomfortable holding them in medium to long term, taking profit may not be a bad idea.
