Statistiken	3 Jahre	5 Jahre
Ex-post Tracking-Error (%) The ex-post tracking error is defined as the volatility of the fund's achieved excess return over the index return. In fund management, most managers are subject to an ex-ante (pre-determined) tracking error, which defines the extent of the additional risk they may take when aspiring to outperform the fund's benchmark. The ex-post tracking error explains the distribution of past fund performances compared to those of its underlying benchmark. With a higher tracking error, the fund's returns deviate more from its index's returns, hence there is a greater chance that the fund may outperform. The wider the spread of returns relative to the benchmark, the more "actively" a fund has been managed. In contrast, a low tracking error indicates more "passive" management.	18.78	15.97
Information-Ratio This ratio serves to evaluate the quality of the excess return a fund manager has achieved because it takes the active risk involved into account. The information ratio is defined as the excess return over the benchmark return divided by the fund's tracking error. The higher the information ratio, the better. For example, a fund with a tracking error of 4% and an excess return of 2% over benchmark has an information ratio of 0.5, which is quite good.	0.32	0.04
Sharpe-Ratio This ratio measures the risk-adjusted performance and allows the performance quality of different investments to be compared. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the fund's returns and dividing the result by the fund's standard deviation (risk). So the Sharpe ratio tells us whether a fund's returns are the result of smart investment decisions or stem from taking extra risk. The higher the ratio, the better, meaning that a greater return is achieved per unit of risk. This ratio is named after its inventor, Nobel Laureate, William Sharpe.	0.74	0.40
Alpha (%) Alpha measures the difference between a portfolio's actual return and its expected performance, given the level of risk, compared to the benchmark. A positive alpha figure indicates that the fund has performed better than expected, given the level of risk. Beta is used to calculate the level of risk compared to the benchmark..	-1.66	-2.83
Beta Beta is a measure of a portfolio's volatility, or systematic risk, in comparison to the benchmark. A beta of 1 indicates that the portfolio will move with the benchmark. A beta of less than 1 means that the portfolio will be less volatile than the benchmark. A beta of more than 1 indicates that the portfolio will be more volatile than the benchmark. For example, if a portfolio's beta is 1.2 it is theoretically 20% more volatile than the benchmark.	1.74	1.61
Standardabweichung Standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. The more spread out the data is, the higher the deviation. In finance, standard deviation is applied to the annual rate of return of an investment to measure the investment's volatility (risk).	25.37	23.46
Max. monatlicher Gewinn (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	21.96	21.96

Important Information

THIS WEBSITE IS SOLELY INTENDED FOR PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS, WHICH HAS THE MEANING ASCRIBED TO IT IN THE SECURITIES AND FUTURES ORDINANCE (CAP. 571 OF THE LAWS OF HONG KONG) AND ITS SUBSIDIARY LEGISLATION.

Unless otherwise specified, Source: Robeco. Performance is shown as of the month end in share class currency on a NAV-to-NAV price basis with dividend reinvested, net of fees.

Investors should not base their investment decisions solely on the information provided on this website and are advised to seek independent advice (including advice on tax implications) before making any investment decisions. Investors should ensure they fully understand the risks associated with the Sub-fund and should also consider their own investment objectives and risk tolerance level. The investment decision is yours. You should not invest unless the intermediary who sells you the Sub-fund has advised you that it is suitable for you and has explained how it is consistent with your investment objectives. Please refer to the relevant offering documents for further details including the risk factors.

No assurance can be given that the investment objective of any investment products will be achieved. No representation or promise as to the performance of any investment products or the return on an investment is made. The value of investments may fluctuate. Past performance, projections, or forecasts included in this website should not be regarded as guarantees or indications of future performance, and no express or implied warranty is provided. The contents of this website are based on sources believed to be reliable, but due to the nature of information delivery technology and the necessity of using multiple data sources, including third party content, their accuracy is not guaranteed.

The investment returns are denominated in stated currency, which may be a foreign currency other than USD and HKD (“other foreign currency”). US/HK dollar-based investors are therefore exposed to fluctuations in the US/HK dollar / other foreign currency exchange rate.

Indices are unmanaged, and one cannot invest directly in an index. They do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.

Where a reference is made to the frequency of dividend distributions, this frequency is an aim and not a guarantee. Dividend yield is not guaranteed and is not indicative of the return of a Sub-fund. Sub-funds may, at their discretion, pay dividends out of capital or capital gains. Distributions out of capital may result in the reduction of an investor’s original capital invested in the relevant Sub-fund or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment of the relevant Sub-fund. Also, any distributions involving the capital and/or capital gains may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share of the relevant class. Payment of dividends out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment.

Annualized yield is calculated with the following formula: (Dividend payout per share / Net Asset Value (NAV) per share on the last business day of the previous month the dividend was paid in) x number of distributions per year x 100%. Positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return. The yield figure is for reference only.

Investors holding accumulation shares of a Sub-fund will not receive any distributions. Instead, the income due to them will be automatically reinvested and added to the relevant Sub-fund and will thus contribute to a further increase in the value of the total net assets.
