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.	0.46	1.08
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.	1.61	0.93
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.	1.37	0.10
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..	0.67	0.98
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.	1.01	1.01
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).	3.49	5.87
Max. monatlicher Gewinn (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	3.26	4.05

July reversed much of June's calm as the US-Iran truce broke down, with both sides resuming strikes and Brent crude rebounding from USD 71/bbl to above USD 100 mid-month before easing to around USD 90, up more than 20% over the month. The renewed energy shock revived reflationary concerns across markets. Equities were led lower by a sharp unwind in AI-related and chip stocks, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index posting its worst month since 2008 and South Korea's KOSPI slumping despite a late rebound. US large-cap indices proved more resilient as investors rotated into non-tech areas, while European equities outperformed, helped by firmer Q2 growth. Government bonds sold off as reflation fears drove yields to multi-year highs, even as the Fed, ECB, BoE and BoJ all held rates steady. The Fed's decision offered little clarity and steepened the US curve, lifting the 30-year US Treasury yield to a post-2007 high, while 10-year Bund yields reached their highest since 2011. Credit posted negative total returns, driven almost entirely by the rise in underlying government yields rather than spreads, which stayed broadly contained across both US and European markets.

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -0.63%. The fund generated a negative total return in July, driven by the rise in government bond yields. Five-year German Bund yields increased to 2.94% from 2.60% at the end of June. The benchmark's credit excess return amounted to a positive 14 basis points, reflecting a tightening of average index spreads to 113 basis points, down from 114 basis points the previous month, as well as positive carry. The portfolio outperformed the index by 15 basis points. The portfolio was mildly overweight in beta during the period, resulting in a positive contribution from market beta. The largest source of outperformance, however, was issuer selection. Key positive contributors included overweight positions in KBC, AXA, Deutsche Bank, Banamex (a Mexican bank), and NIBC. Negative contributions came from underweight positions in Sampo, Crédit Mutuel, and Hannover Re.

Prognose des Fondsmanagements

Jan Willem Knoll

Credit spreads have reached cycle lows. At the same time, the financial sector is fundamentally performing well. Balance sheets look robust after years of deleveraging. Profitability has benefited from higher interest rates, strong cost control, and a healthy growth in fee income. Looking ahead, we expect profitability to plateau at a higher level than that observed in the period between the global financial crisis and the Covid-19 crisis. We do not expect central banks to return to a zero-rate environment, while banks have made significant progress in improving their underlying profitability. As such, banks' resilience to external shocks has improved considerably. Demand for higher-yielding bonds remains strong, as investors seek to lock in attractive yield levels. We are selective when participating in new bond issues, as spreads have tightened and structural features have become increasingly important. We maintain a modest overweight beta position in the fund, balancing strong fundamentals against valuations that are becoming more demanding. At the same time, we believe we can continue to generate excess returns through our credit selection in both primary and secondary markets.
