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.	4.85	5.11
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.	1.44	1.18
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.	1.03	0.48
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..	4.22	5.38
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.	1.15	1.15
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).	21.04	21.57
Max. monatlicher Gewinn (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	17.46	17.46

Marktentwicklungen

Per 31-07-2026

In July, emerging markets declined 3.7% (EUR), thereby underperforming versus developed markets that declined 0.1% (EUR). Performance overall in July was primarily weighed down by a broad-based correction across AI and technology-related holdings, with the impact most pronounced in South Korea and, to a lesser degree, Taiwan. Investor sentiment weakened amid renewed scrutiny of the sector's fundamentals, including the sustainability of AI-related capital expenditure, concerns regarding funding requirements and commercialization. The decline was further exacerbated by technical factors in South Korea, where crowded positioning was unwound through hedge fund de-risking and the reduction of leveraged ETF exposures. Signs of stabilization emerged late in the month as the deleveraging process appeared largely complete, supporting a strong rebound in South Korean equities on the final trading day of the month. Renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East after the breakdown of the ceasefire established in June led to a renewed escalation in hostilities, while continued disruptions to shipping routes in the Red Sea added to market uncertainty and pushed the oil price significantly higher.

Erläuterungen zur Wertentwicklung

Per 31-07-2026

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -3.10%. In July, the fund outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets, driven by strong stock selection while country allocation was negative. Negative country allocation came from China (underweight) and South Korea (overweight), while positive country allocation came from Brazil (overweight) and Taiwan (underweight). Stock selection was particularly strong in China, where internet-related holdings performed well, including JD.com (e-commerce), Trip.com (online travel) and Vipshop (online discount retail). Other positive contributors in China included PICC P&C (insurance), CATL (EV batteries), Haier Smart Home (home appliances), Yangzijiang Shipbuilding and Ping An (life insurance). Selected bans in the fund also outperformed during July, including ICICI Bank (India), Bank Rakyat (Indonesia), Hana Financial (South Korea), Grupo Banorte (Mexico), Bank Pekao (Poland) and Kasikorn Bank (Thailand). In Taiwan, Wiwynn (servers) and Asustek (PCs & servers) delivered strong performance.

Prognose des Fondsmanagements

Jaap van der Hart
Karnail Sangha

The conflict in the Middle East is a significant shock with a big impact on the region and on global oil and gas prices. Even though the most likely scenario is that the conflict will be relatively short, risks do remain for a longer conflict and larger impact. Also economically, the US has become a source of more uncertainty on interest rate policy, important tariffs and policy making. Emerging markets are having to rely more on their own domestic policies and growth opportunities. We still expect higher structural economic growth compared to developed markets, while macroeconomic stability has significantly improved. Emerging equity markets' valuations have become attractive relative to developed markets, with discounts of more than 35% based on earnings multiples. Expected earnings growth is 46% for 2026 and 17% for 2027, both above developed markets.
