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.	2.04	1.78
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.	0.21	0.38
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.	0.39	0.02
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..	0.08	0.70
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.	1.18	1.03
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).	6.80	6.37
Max. monthly gain (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	4.78	4.78
Max. monthly loss (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-6.23	-6.23

Market development

Per 31-08-2025

Although in the middle of the summer holidays, August turned out to be an eventful month for markets. In the beginning of the month, additional tariff announcements led to some market volatility while weaker macro data also led to slightly weaker credit markets. High yield spreads closed at 308 bps, which is 1 bps wider then last month, and investment grade spreads rose 4 bps to 83 bps. Emerging market spreads were 3 bps wider and closed at 247 bps. On the macro front, the biggest news was the large downward revision of May and June jobs growth. Fed president Powell's comments during the Jackson Hole conference where also seen as relatively dovish by market participants. This led to growing expectations of rate cuts by the Fed and short and intermediate US Treasury yields declined over the month. Five-year US Treasury yields declined 27 bp to 3.70%. There are mounting concerns in the market about the independence of the Fed. Longer-dated treasury did not join the market rally, which was mainly driven by these concerns. In Europe, France's fiscal situation is back in the spotlight, but did not lead to underperformance of French companies so far.

Performance explanation

Per 31-08-2025

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 1.22%. The fund had a positive total return in August, with cash yields continuing to make a positive contribution while the duration exposure also made a positive contribution. The total contribution from credit was slightly positive. The strongest positive contributors were Mexico, Coventry Building Society and ZF Friedrichshafen, while the top negative contributors were Owens Illinois, NextEra and Crown Cork.

Expectation of fund manager

Evert Giesen
Jan Willem Knoll

The announced tariffs and the uncertainty are already leading to lower confidence on both the consumer and producer side of the economy. Labor market numbers in August showed that the economy is slowing down. In corporate earnings, there is already some evidence of the negative impact of trade tariffs. A slowing economy and weaker results in certain sectors could lead to spread volatility in the coming quarters. Markets are still counting on central banks to step in to support the economy. Recent labor market weakness will probably lead to the Fed lowering rates in September, but the market is already pricing for this. After the continued tightening in July, markets are at historical tights. Overall risk positioning should be modest and target carry and roll down. Although markets look tight, there are still attractive individual credit opportunities. We remain cautious on taking too much duration risk, as markets already price for many rate cuts in the US.
