Investment Focus

The fund aims to achieve a higher return than a classic mixed-asset portfolio (40% MSCI World equities / 60% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond, EUR hedged) regardless of market direction. In the pursuit of this objective, fund management focuses on preserving capital and limiting loss potential. The unconstrained multi-asset fund invests worldwide in equities, fixed-income securities, forex and (liquid) commodities – directly or indirectly via derivatives. It invests in strategies with compelling long-term performance patterns. Modern data analytics enhance its investment process. Strategy-specific risk budgets are defined to manage investment risk and reduce potential drawdowns. Fund management relies on traditional fundamental research as well as machine learning, big data analytics and other sophisticated quantitative research methods in its strategy selection and allocation process. The fund can be traded daily and ESG factors are taken into consideration in the pursuit of its investment objectives.

Investment suitability & Risk

SRI

Low risk

High risk

The Fund’s objective is to achieve consistent positive returns across the economic cycle. The targeted returns are intended to be largely de-correlated from those of major asset classes. It is therefore particularly suited to investors with an investment horizon of at least 3 years who are focused on achieving consistent absolute returns. The base currency of the Fund is EUR.

Benefits

  • The fund aims to achieve higher returns than a classic multi-asset portfolio (40% MSCI World equities/60% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond, EUR hedged).
  • The fund aims to keep drawdowns within a suitable range.
  • Discretionary investment management, supported by AI-supported data analytics tools for strategy selection.
  • Short positions can be taken, primarily for hedging purposes, provided the market environment is constructive for pursuing such opportunities.

Risks

  • The fund can invest some of its assets in bonds. A bond issuer might default.
  • Investments in fixed-income securities are exposed to interest rate risks.
  • Investments in emerging market assets are exposed to additional risks in the form of political and social unrest.
  • The fund's investments may be denominated in a currency other than the fund's base currency, resulting in foreign-exchange risks.

The fund returned +2.07% in September with a volatility of 3.5%. The MSCI World Index in EUR gained 2.82%, and the Bloomberg Global Aggregate EUR-Hedged Index rose 0.54%.

The fund’s performance contributors were equities (+1.79%), gold (+0.60%), government bonds (+0.02%), and non-government bonds (-0.33%). Markets were supported by the Fed’s 25 bps rate cut and expectations of further monetary easing. Our equity investments outperformed the MSCI World Index in EUR, driven by the Chinese IT holdings. Non-government bonds unperformed credit markets due to our exposure to Brazil-based Braskem.

The equity allocation slightly increased from 39% to 41%, supported by performance. Elsewhere, asset allocation remained broadly stable, with 30% in long-term government bonds, 29% in credit, and 10% in USD exposure. Within government bonds, we opened a 10% long/short position in 10-year German vs French bonds. France is in a political gridlock, with a parliament split between a left-wing coalition unwilling to cut spending and a populist far right. In this context, it will be very difficult for the minority centrist government to reduce the budget deficit below 5% of GDP. Portfolio duration was maintained at 3.2 years vs the long-term average of 3.7 years. The fund’s main hedges remain the 30% European long-term government bond and 6% gold exposures.

This month we maintained our July 11, 2025, scenarios:

Base scenario: Settling down in a world of tariffs. The global economy navigates the initial wave of tariffs well and shows resilience. While tariff discussions continue, markets now expect less extreme final levels than those announced on Liberation Day. Inflation keeps trending down gradually. We expect equity markets to continue to grind higher. This scenario is neutral for credit and slightly negative for government bonds.

Positive scenario: A world of stimuli. Tariff discussions fade into the background. Stimuli such as fiscal expansion in both the US and Europe, along with a more dovish Fed, become the main drivers of the equity markets. President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act is passed. European economies benefit from Germany’s new government-led fiscal easing. Inflation remains under control. This scenario is positive for equities and credit and negative for government bonds.

Negative scenario: Trade war. Major economies end up with extravagant tariffs, increasing recession risk. In addition, disruptive US policies at home and abroad further dampen market sentiment. We expect financial markets to focus more on recession fears than inflation concerns. Equity markets correct by around 20%. This scenario is negative for credit and positive for government bonds, though we apply less hedging value to US Treasuries.
