Statistics	3 years	5 Years
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.	1.51	1.74
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.	0.33	0.38
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.	0.63	-0.06
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..	0.40	0.71
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	1.03
Standard deviation 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).	4.53	6.31
Max. monthly gain (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	4.14	4.58

Market development

Per 30-04-2026

The conflict in the Gulf continued to dominate headlines in April. Although the United States and Iran agreed to a ceasefire in early April, the Strait of Hormuz remained closed to shipping. This kept oil markets volatile, with Brent briefly trading above USD 120/bbl intraday before ending the month around USD 114/bbl. Central banks maintained a cautious stance amid rising inflation risks. The Fed left rates unchanged, though the meeting revealed growing divisions within the FOMC. The ECB also kept rates on hold while signaling that a June hike remains possible if energy-driven inflation pressures persist. Following the ceasefire announcement in early April, credit spreads began to rally. Despite ongoing uncertainty around growth and inflation – and with a lasting resolution to the conflict still distant – credit markets remained resilient throughout the month. Sovereign yields experienced increased volatility. After declining in the first weeks of April, yields moved higher again on concerns about more persistent inflation. US five-year yields rose 6 bps to 4.00%, while five-year German yields increased 2 bps to 2.75%.

Performance explanation

Per 30-04-2026

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 1.01%. The fund had strong positive returns in April. Duration made a negative contribution, as sovereign yields moved higher over the month. This was offset by a positive contribution from cash yields. Credit exposure made the biggest contribution to total returns in April. Strong contributors in April were Mexican chemicals such as Orbia and Alpeka. Positions in subordinate bonds of European banks also contributed to performance.

Expectation of fund manager

Evert Giesen
Jan Willem Knoll

Credit markets entered 2026 with underpriced structural risks from AI disruption and private credit, now compounded by the war in the Gulf and rising energy risks. Spreads at the end of April were back to earlier tights, warranting a cautious top-down stance and a preference for shorter spread duration. Heightened geopolitical uncertainty and inflation risks reinforce the need for disciplined, selective risk-taking across sectors and regions. At the same time, higher yields have started to create more attractive opportunities to add duration, particularly in the intermediate part of the curve.
