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.	2.97	3.12
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.	-0.09	-0.11
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.	1.15	0.73
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..	-0.63	-0.25
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.	1.04	1.00
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).	12.43	13.67
Max. maandelijkse winst (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	9.27	10.24
Max. maandelijks verlies (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-8.58	-8.58

Marktontwikkeling

Per 30-06-2026

June was a month of relief laced with nerves, eventually letting global stocks grind slightly higher, but with signs of more two-way risk creeping in (+1.3% in EUR; -0.7% in USD). The fragile US-Iran deal knocked oil down hard, and with the stagflationary war scare fading, investors bet lower energy costs, meaning better growth. New Fed chair Kevin Warsh came out with surprisingly hawkish remarks, flipping the market narrative from rate cuts back to rate hikes, resulting in a stronger dollar and real rates moving higher too. At the same time, cracks in the market concentration story started to appear. The relentless march of momentum names, with AI front and center, is starting to rhyme with the run into March 2000, though nuances have to be made. Even as AI remains the most crowded trade on the board, it only wobbled rather than broke as speculative tech exposures were cut back, while semis and broader tech still dominated sector flows and positioning.

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 2.02%. In June, the portfolio had a positive absolute return, also outperforming the global benchmark. Sector-wise, our positioning in technology and healthcare helped performance best. The sectors financials and communication services, however, struggled most. The best performer in June was semi-cap equipment company Applied Materials, as it surged roughly 55% to record highs. In reaction to capex announcements by customers such as Intel, SK hynix and Samsung Electronics, all trying to build out wafer-fab processing capacity for which Applied Materials' equipment is essential, reinforcing its central role in the AI capex cycle. TSMC, the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, also contributed very well as AI-chip demand remains relentless. Capacity constraints to cater for this demand underscores TSMC's pivotal role in AI-accelerator production. Foundry competition from Samsung and Intel is not a big threat given TSMC's capacity scale, EUV supply priority and process node leadership.

The earnings backdrop remains quite extraordinary. Forward earnings for the S&P 500 are running in the high-20%, and this isn't just a mega-cap mirage; mid caps are around +18% and small caps near +24%. The last time we saw numbers like these, we were clawing out of the financial crisis or the pandemic. The difference is we don't have a recession this time. That's what makes the cycle so unusual: a rising-tide-lifts-all-boats earnings surge with no crater to climb out of, powered by lagged rate cuts, a hefty fiscal package (OBBB in the US), and the AI capex firehose. Add it up and you get multiple points of GDP growth in combined stimulus landing more or less at once. For the next few months, that earnings momentum should keep stocks moving higher. The base case from here is still an up-but-bumpy path for global equities, with the rates-geopolitics-AI triangle as the key swing factor. Given the valuation backdrop, any setbacks on the US-Iran 'deal', growing headwinds as core inflation gains momentum or sober tone by central banks could translate into air pockets.
