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.	8.77	8.33
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.	-1.42	-1.23
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.	-0.24	0.13
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..	-8.12	-6.12
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.	0.65	0.71
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).	11.33	12.20
Max. monthly gain (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	6.12	7.61
Max. monthly loss (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-7.32	-7.32

Market development

Per 31-08-2025

In August, the global market delivered positive returns, driven by the materials, healthcare and consumer discretionary sectors. Both the healthcare and consumer staples sectors, which together account for three quarters of the Healthy Living portfolio, generated positive returns and outperformed the broader market. The information technology sector, which is the largest sector in the MSCI World Index, underperformed, while the utilities sector was the only sector which generated negative returns in the month. After strong share price corrections in managed care companies as well as obesity drug manufacturer Novo Nordisk, which had weighed heavily on global healthcare sector performance in July, the subsequent rebound in their share prices supported strong performance of the sector in August. Similarly, within consumer staples, the reversal in share price development of heavy weights such as Nestlé and Procter & Gamble supported sector performance.

Performance explanation

Per 31-08-2025

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -0.23%. In August, the Healthy Living Fund slightly underperformed versus the broad global benchmark and its investable universe. Two of the fund's four clusters generated positive returns. Healthcare Efficiency was the strongest performer, followed by Healthy Lifestyles. Healthy Nutrition delivered negative returns while Therapeutics was only slightly negative. At the individual stock level, the biggest positive contributor in August was managed care player UnitedHealth, which rose on news that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway had taken a stake in the company. In July, the company had reinstated a full year guidance, providing highly needed visibility to the market, after a disappointing second-quarter earnings report. The largest negative contributor in August was protein shake company Bellring Brands, which saw a sharp share price correction despite delivering a strong quarter, with double-digit percentage growth in the consumption of its ready-to-drink shakes. Management's refusal to provide guidance for the next financial year, starting on October 1st, and statements on heightened competition spooked the market.

The risks to economic growth have increased due to inflation, higher interest rates, geopolitical tensions and the economic imbalances in China. In addition, the tariff announcements by the new US president have created almost unprecedented uncertainty in the business environment, which may reduce corporate investments and consumer confidence going forward. It will therefore be even more important to focus on solid business fundamentals, pricing power and quality. We remain constructive on the mid to long-term potential of the equity markets and are making use of current market conditions to further solidify our positions in companies that have very strong long-term business prospects. The pandemic has accelerated changes necessary to build more robust and sustainable economies. It has also made individuals more inclined to adopt a healthier lifestyle. The Healthy Living portfolio of sustainable companies is well positioned to benefit from these changes in the longer run.
