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.	0.68	-
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	-
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.	0.45	-
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..	0.32	-
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	-
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).	6.07	-
Max. monthly gain (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	4.53	-
Max. monthly loss (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-2.50	-

Market development

Per 31-10-2025

Markets stayed firm in October as an extended US China trade truce, solid data and decent earnings supported risk assets. Early tariff threats from President Trump sparked a risk-off move, but later meetings with President Xi delivered a renewed truce and scaled back measures. Equities finished higher, with the S&P 500 up 2.3 percent for a sixth consecutive monthly gain and Japanese stocks rallying after Sanae Takaichi became prime minister. Rates rallied alongside risk. The Fed cut its policy rate by 25 bps in late October but signalled that another December move was not assured, leaving the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.08 percent, its lowest close in over a year. The ECB and Bank of Japan left policy unchanged. Credit markets were resilient. Concerns around private credit and regional banks weighed on financials, but fundamentals and inflows kept global spreads broadly stable. Toward month-end, heavy hyperscaler jumbo issuance added pressure on credit spreads, particularly in the US. Precious metals extended their rally, with gold moving above 4,000 dollars per ounce and silver posting a sixth consecutive monthly gain.

Performance explanation

Per 31-10-2025

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 0.72%. The Paris-Aligned Global Corporate Index returned +0.45% (hedged to EUR). Credit spreads ended the month at 74 basis points above government bonds, from 72 bps. Government yields declined further: the 10-year Treasury fell 7 basis points to 4.08%, and the 10-year Bund slipped 8 basis points to 2.63%. Positive total returns were driven primarily by the decline in underlying sovereign yields, while credit excess returns were slightly negative over the month. The portfolio performed broadly above its benchmark before fees. The performance impact from beta was negligible, given that we maintained a beta close to neutral throughout the month. Issuer selection added a lot of performance during the month, as EUR IG significantly outperformed US IG during October; most of the issuer selection impact came from our regional allocation.
