Error de seguimiento 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.	4.37	3.79
Ratio de información 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.	-0.38	-0.67
Ratio de 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.	0.99	0.37
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..	-1.43	-2.69
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	1.07
Desviación estándar 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).	12.41	15.06
Máx. ganancia mensual (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	11.87	11.87
Máx. pérdida mensual (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-7.62	-9.53

July began on a relatively sanguine note, with the VIX index falling sharply. This proved to be short-lived, though, with another flare-up in the Middle East conflict as US President Trump declared that the June agreement with Iran was over. Both sides resumed strikes, and the rhetoric out of the US became increasingly combative before reports of renewed talks emerged once again. Brent moved from the low USD 70s to above USD 100 before retreating. At the same time, concerns around El Niño resulted in higher agricultural prices and reflationary concerns re-emerging. Within equities, the tech sector saw a sharp reversal, with a number of, admittedly not necessarily new, concerns spooking the market. The KOSPI was particularly sensitive, falling over 22% in July. Despite an almost 18% rebound on the final trading day, it remained up 57% YTD. The tech-heavy NASDAQ fell by just over 3%, with the late-month rebound supported by a positive Microsoft earnings release, which resulted in a record USD 450 bln market cap gain.

Explicación del rendimiento

A 31-07-2026

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 0.04%. The portfolio generated a positive absolute return of 30 bps and outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI, which fell 55 bps over the period. Information technology was our largest contributor amid sector turmoil, with our more defensive positions aiding relative performance. Consumer discretionary had a positive month too, with strong performance from Alibaba following a positive earnings release, as its cloud business accelerated and margins expanded. Amazon also performed strongly following its results, as AWS revenue grew by 37% with improved margins, and while capex was increased again, management provided a framework for capacity returns. Hitachi was our top-performing individual name. The Japanese market was broadly positive, and better-than-expected results, with guidance raised, toward the end of the month pushed the stock higher. Industrials was our largest detractor at the sector level, although this can be viewed more as an impact from technology. SK Square, due to its high exposure to the South Korean memory market, had a challenging month, falling alongside other memory names.

AI remains the key market driver, with capital spending and earnings continuing to grow. However, the broad-based AI rally is fading, and market leadership is expanding beyond Big Tech. Financials, healthcare, and consumer stocks have begun to recover as earnings improve, while overall earnings growth is running at its strongest pace in four years. The Federal Reserve remains a key swing factor, with persistent inflation and rising bond yields increasing the risk of tighter policy, which could pressure expensive growth stocks. Geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Iran, also pose upside risks to oil prices. July's sharp sell-off in AI-related stocks, driven largely by technical factors, has created opportunities elsewhere in the market. In this environment, maintaining a diversified portfolio across sectors, styles, market capitalizations, and regions remains the most prudent approach.
