Statistiche	3 anni	5 anni
Tracking error a posteriori (%) 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.	4.72	4.96
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.	0.21	0.62
Indice di Sharpe 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.	0.93	0.31
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..	-1.10	2.82
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.	1.14	1.12
Scostamento standard 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).	20.78	21.38
Utile mensile max. (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	16.67	16.88
Perdita mensile max. (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-14.14	-14.14

Sviluppo del mercato

Al 30-06-2026

In June, emerging markets rose 0.6% (EUR), thereby underperforming versus developed markets that increased 1.3% (EUR). Emerging market equities navigated a challenging month in June as investors balanced shifting geopolitical developments, changing monetary policy expectations, and country-specific market dynamics. Market swings were particularly pronounced in South Korea, where the presence of leveraged ETF positions contributed to larger-than-usual price movements. Geopolitical tensions eased following a temporary agreement between the US and Iran, extending the ceasefire and allowing commercial traffic to resume through the Strait of Hormuz. Although a permanent agreement has yet to be reached and the risk of renewed tensions cannot be ruled out, the reduction in immediate concerns over energy supply disruptions provided some relief to global markets. The improvement in the geopolitical backdrop triggered a sharp reversal in energy markets, with crude oil prices falling by a fifth during the month as fears of supply shortages subsided. At the same time, the US Federal Reserve adopted a firmer policy stance than markets had anticipated at its June meeting.

Spiegazione della performance

Al 30-06-2026

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -3.49%. In June, the fund outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, driven by stock selection while country allocation was negative. Positive country allocation was driven by the fund's overweight position in South Korea and underweight position in China. Conversely, negative country allocation resulted from the underweight positions in Taiwan and India, as well as the overweight position in Indonesia. SK Square, the holding company of SK hynix, was the largest positive contributor to stock selection during the month, benefiting from a significantly stronger share price performance than SK hynix itself. WuXi AppTec, the Chinese biopharmaceutical company, also made a strong positive contribution. Other notable contributors included financial holdings, particularly CTBC Financial (Taiwan), Itaú Unibanco (Brazil), and Kasikornbank (Thailand). On the negative side, stock selection in several Chinese holdings, including JD.com (e-commerce), Trip.com (online travel), CATL (EV batteries), Yadea (electric scooters), and China Resources Land (property developer) detracted from performance. In South Korea, Hyundai Mobis (automotive components) and LG Electronics also weighed on performance.

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.
