Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}The global stock markets had an increasingly difficult month in October, as Covid-19 infections reached new highs worldwide, prompting governments to implement new restrictions, including partial lockdowns. US lawmakers failed to agree on a new economic aid package before the November elections day, which added to the overall market pressure. In line with the deteriorating economic outlook, oil markets weakened markedly. As investors were searching for safe havens, the dollar gained strength against other currencies. In the clean energy space, the positive momentum continued. Investors continued to be attracted by the solid fundamentals in the sector, driven by strong governmental support worldwide to reduce CO2 emissions. This will mainly be achieved by the increased use of renewable energies, as well as through energy efficiency.

Currency policy
The fund is allowed to pursue an active currency policy to generate extra returns and can engage in currency hedging transactions.
Dividend policy
In principle, this share class of the fund does distribute dividend.
ESG Integration policy
The Fund employs systematic, bottom-up stock selection that combines proprietary Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) data and research throughout the investment process. ESG criteria for exclusions and theme-specific suitability are applied during universe construction. Moreover, an in-house Sustainability Investing (SI) research team integrates financially-material sector and company-specific sustainability analysis into investment cases. A dedicated thematic equity team incorporates SI research within fundamental analysis and stock valuations. Impact assessments of controversial incidences affecting portfolio holdings provide additional risk management. An active ownership and engagement team interacts directly with management of fund holdings, offering additional channels for sustainable impact.
Investment policy
Our investment philosophy is grounded in the core belief that the integration of ESG factors into a disciplined, research-driven investment process leads to better-informed investment decisions and better risk-adjusted returns through an economic cycle.
Risk policy
Risk management is fully integrated into the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}Record numbers of new Covid-19 cases put pressure on governments worldwide to introduce additional restrictions and lockdowns. Even though countries appear to be better prepared than in the spring, the economic consequences are likely to be severe, depending on how long the induced measures last. We therefore expect the stock markets to remain volatile for the time being. Given the ample monetary support from central banks and the likelihood of a more sustained economic recovery if the virus threat is contained, we remain constructive on the mid- to long-term perspectives of the equity markets. We therefore intend to use the current higher market volatility to further solidify our positions in companies that have very strong long-term business perspectives. The strategy's focus continues to be on smart grid suppliers, semiconductor power management and battery companies, notably for (electric) automotive applications, firms that improve the data centers’ power efficiency and companies that provide automation equipment / services for industrial and residential markets.
