Statistieken	3 jaar	5 jaar
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.	4.48	-
Informatieratio 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.	-0.43	-
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.	1.12	-
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..	-1.77	-
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.	1.02	-
Standaarddeviatie 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).	12.60	-
Max. maandelijkse winst (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	12.21	-
Max. maandelijks verlies (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-7.41	-

Marktontwikkeling

Per 30-06-2026

June was another month of broadly positive markets, though with a more cautious tone than May. The US-Iran peace deal held despite repeated tests, while oil prices surrendered earlier war-driven gains. The first Fed meeting under Warsh proved more hawkish than expected, shifting markets from pricing rate cuts to just over one hike this year. AI remained the dominant theme, with chip stocks volatile but semiconductor equipment names continuing to benefit from resilient AI investment.

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 0.05%. The portfolio saw good absolute gains as well as marginal outperformance versus its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI. Tech names were once again the top contributors, with memory name SK Square seeing a very strong performance, as well as volatility, on the upbeat memory outlook. AMD also continued its run, as agentic AI increases demand for CPUs as well as GPUs. Outside of tech, AbbVie had a positive month, responding well to the news that it would be acquiring Apogee Therapeutics, further cementing its position as a leader in the immunotherapy space. SMFG also saw good gains as the BoJ raised rates. The main detractors were linked to the reversal in some areas of AI exposure, with Broadcom falling sharply after reporting a very strong quarter but without the uplift to AI guidance that was expected. Hitachi also saw negative returns as a result of the AI rotation we saw in certain areas.

The earnings backdrop remains quite extraordinary. Forward earnings for the S&P 500 are running in the high-20%, and this isn't just a mega-cap mirage; mid caps are around +18% and small caps near +24%. The last time we saw numbers like these, we were clawing out of the financial crisis or the pandemic. The difference is we don't have a recession this time. That's what makes the cycle so unusual: a rising-tide-lifts-all-boats earnings surge with no crater to climb out of, powered by lagged rate cuts, a hefty fiscal package (OBBB in the US), and the AI capex firehose. Add it up and you get multiple points of GDP growth in combined stimulus landing more or less at once. For the next few months, that earnings momentum should keep stocks moving higher. The base case from here is still an up-but-bumpy path for global equities, with the rates-geopolitics-AI triangle as the key swing factor. Given the valuation backdrop, any setbacks on the US-Iran 'deal', growing headwinds as core inflation gains momentum or sober tone by central banks could translate into air pockets.
