Gross performance*

Reported data relates to the past. The performances shown give no indication of future results. The value of units can vary. The performances shown do not take into account charges or subscription and redemption fees. Subscription fees will reduce the return on investment.

* The management fee, custodian bank fee and all other additional costs are taken into account in the calculation of the unit price as stated in the provisions of the contract. Distributions are reinvested. Performance is calculated using the BVI method, which means that the calculations do not include an issuing charge, transaction costs (such as order fees and brokerage fees), custodian bank fees or other management fees. Including the issuing surcharge would reduce performance.

  Key figures

Annualised volatility⁹ 2,4%
Sharpe ratio¹⁰ 0,53
Average rating¹¹ Between A and A+
Modified duration¹² 1,2 (1,88)
Average current yield¹³ p.a. 4,29%
Average YTM¹³ p.a. 4,2%

⁹ Volatility is a risk indicator showing the degree of fluctuation in a fund’s price over a given period. Volatility is calculated as a standard deviation based on daily returns over 250 days.

¹⁰ The Sharpe ratio is the quotient of the excess return (= return on the fund minus return on a risk-free asset) and the established volatility. When calculating the excess return, we use the EONIA Total Return index to determine the return on a risk-free asset.

¹¹ Note: You will find more information along with definitions of individual ratings (e.g. AAA, BB) in the form of a glossary here.

The risk indicator is based on the assumption that you will hold the product 5 years. If you cash in the investment early, the actual risk may be significantly different and you may get back less.
The overall risk indicator helps you assess the risk associated with this product compared to other products. It shows how likely you are to lose money on this product because the markets develop in a certain way or because we are unable to pay you out.

We have classified this product as 2 out of 7, which is a low risk class. This rates the potential losses from future performance at a low level, and poor market conditions are very unlikely to impact our capacity to pay you. Be aware of currency risk: You will receive payments in a different currency, so the final return you will get depend on the exchange rate between the two currencies. This risk is not considered in the indicator shown above.

Other risks not included in the risk indicator may be materially relevant:
• Liquidity risk
• Operational risks

For more information, please refer to the prospectus. This product does not include protection against future market developments, so you could lose all or part of the invested capital.

Opportunities

• A professional Portfolio Management Team with many year of experience.

• Participation in positive performance of bond markets.

• Reduction of value fluctuations by spreading the investment capital over a large number of individual securities (diversification¹⁴).

• Active risk management and hedging transactions (emphasis on capital preservation).

• Active portfolio management with the aim of delivering positive returns, even in a weak market phase.

• Stability and continuity by focusing on fixed income securities.

Risks

• Market, sector and company-related price losses in the fund’s bonds investments; also as a result of a general rise in yields and/or increase in yield premiums for specific bond issuers.

• General, geographical and geopolitical country risks; these include the risk that an issuer of a bond, despite being solvent, cannot fulfil its obligations due to an inability or unwillingness on the part of a particular country to transfer funds to another country.

• Issuer, counterparty credit and default risk due to investing in bonds and hedging trades; these include the risk of insolvency due to issuer or counterparty debt overload or illiquidity. A total loss of the affected investment instrument is possible.

• Exchange rate risks through investing in foreign currencies or bonds denominated in a foreign currency.

• The investor suffers a loss if they sell the fund units at less than the purchase price.

For detailed information on the opportunities and risks of investing in the fund, please refer to the sales prospectus.

¹⁴ Diversification : This means that the fund may invest in different securities across different business sectors, whose prices are non-correlated. The aim is to reduce risks.
