Statistieken	3 jaar	5 jaar
Tracking error ex-post (%) 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.	0.23	0.48
Informatieratio 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.	0.67	0.15
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.	0.16	-0.50
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..	0.15	-0.00
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.	1.00	0.98
Standaarddeviatie 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).	5.04	6.38
Max. maandelijkse winst (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	4.73	4.73
Max. maandelijks verlies (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-1.95	-4.49

Marktontwikkeling

Per 31-07-2026

The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporates Index posted a credit return of -0.13% as credit spreads widened somewhat from 78 to 80 bps. The euro-hedged total return was -1.43%, as underlying government bond yields increased substantially. In July 2026, global financial markets navigated renewed Middle East geopolitical tensions and lingering inflation concerns. Excess returns were negative in USD credit markets and slightly positive in EUR, as spreads mostly widened. Equities were mixed, with US equities hurt by AI/semiconductor profit-taking, Europe outperforming the US thanks to lower tech exposure, and EM weakest as South Korean and Taiwanese semiconductor names lagged. Government bond yields trended upward, as both 10-year US Treasury yields and 10-year German Bund yields rose ca. 30 bps; the US 30-year yield even reached the highest level since 2007. Major central banks adopted a cautious stance, with both the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank leaving interest rates unchanged while highlighting upside risks to inflation. Oil and gas prices experienced volatility from geopolitical supply concerns, ending the month higher.

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -1.26%. Based on closing prices, the fund posted a relative return of +0.09% versus the benchmark. Issue(r) selection delivered a positive contribution and beta allocation slightly detracted. The low-risk/quality factor, driven by the underweight in longer-dated bonds, delivered the largest positive contribution, followed by smaller positive contributions from size, momentum and value. Sector allocation contributed slightly positively, especially coming from the underweight in the communications sector; the overweight in the technology sector slightly detracted. Currency allocation contributed slightly positively too, driven by the overweight in EUR-denominated paper. Country allocation contributed slightly positively as well, mostly due to the overweight in Finland. The allocation to subordination groups slightly detracted, mainly due to the overweight in senior corporates. Rating allocation delivered a small positive contribution, coming from the off-benchmark position in BA-rated paper. SDG score allocation contributed slightly positively. ESG Risk Rating allocation contributed neutrally.
