Statistiken	3 Jahre	5 Jahre
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.	17.06	15.64
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.	0.58	0.37
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.	1.03	0.57
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..	1.91	3.16
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.	1.61	1.48
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).	23.77	24.30
Max. monatlicher Gewinn (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	22.10	22.10
Max. monatlicher Verlust (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-12.45	-12.45

Marktentwicklungen

Per 30-06-2026

Market leadership shifted notably during June. While artificial intelligence remained the dominant market theme, investor enthusiasm broadened beyond the hyperscalers that had led markets for much of the past two years. Semiconductor and memory-related companies emerged as the primary beneficiaries of the AI investment cycle, supported by strong earnings and evidence that surging data center spending continues to translate into robust demand across the semiconductor supply chain. At the same time, large-cap technology and hyperscaler stocks came under pressure as investors increasingly questioned the return on record AI capital expenditures, resulting in a sharp rotation away from many of the traditional market leaders.

Erläuterungen zur Wertentwicklung

Per 30-06-2026

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 0.51%. Energy Efficiency was the best-performing cluster, once again driven by the exceptional performance of the Big Data subcluster. Marvell Technology led returns after NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the company as a foundational part of the AI semiconductor ecosystem, while ARM Holdings continued to outperform on growing adoption of its energy-efficient chips for AI computing tasks. The Energy Distribution cluster was the second-best performer. All three network holdings – SSE, Elia and Hydro One – delivered positive returns as investors sought more defensive exposures. The Energy Management cluster underperformed in June, mainly due to profit-taking in the Semiconductor Power Management subcluster. Onsemi was a key detractor after announcing the USD 7 bln acquisition of Synaptics, a move aimed at expanding into edge AI and connected computing but viewed negatively by investors. The Renewable Energy cluster was the weakest performer, primarily due to weakness in the Solar subcluster. Enphase Energy was the largest detractor as investors reassessed the outlook for the US residential solar market.

Prognose des Fondsmanagements

Roman Boner

Recent de-escalation in the Middle East and the sharp decline in oil prices have eased inflation concerns and strengthened our confidence in a broader economic recovery. With inflation continuing to moderate, we expect interest rates in the US to move lower over time, supporting economic activity and improving investor sentiment. This is particularly relevant for the construction sector, which has faced several years of headwinds from elevated financing costs. At the same time, the Global Manufacturing PMI continues to improve, pointing to strengthening growth momentum, supported by reshoring initiatives and accelerating investment in AI-driven data center infrastructure. Against this backdrop, the need for clean energy, grid investment and electrification remains stronger than ever as power demand continues to rise. While geopolitical and policy risks have not disappeared, we believe the fundamental outlook for our investment theme remains highly supportive.
