Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Please note that the aforementioned performance is shown in the fund currency USD (US Dollar) and not Euro and therefore currency influences in investment currencies other than the fund currency are not taken into account in the performance shown.

The fund invests across all sectors, with the exception of «utilities» and «financials». The investment process consists of a two-step procedure. As a first step, the innovation efficiency of the companies within the investment universe is measured and compared using a scientifically based quantitative method. In the subsequent step, the portfolio is constructed by selecting around 30 stocks based on our own proprietary fundamental analysis.

Comment May 2023

The Innovation World Large Caps fund did not quite keep pace with the development of the global stock markets.
Koei Tecmo Holdings Co, Ltd. is a Japan-based video game, entertainment media, and anime (cartoon) company. The group is one of the world's leading digital entertainment companies and is known for award-winning games in a variety of genres including action, simulation, and role-playing games.
The focus on innovation is to develop new video games and their titles to offer a wide range of products. With the console game "Nioh", Koei Tecmo has proven its ability to bring IPS-based innovations to the market. Nioh is a game inspired by Asian worlds and uses IPS (in-plane switching) technology for accurate color and image reproduction from any viewing angle. In simulation games, they use artificial intelligence to develop game strategies and tactics but also to portray personalities. In addition to its expertise in development and technology, Koei Tecmo is also focused on expanding its gaming business globally, including slot machines, as well as operating its own entertainment parks.

Sustainability

ESG implementation:

We take ESG aspects into account in the financial analysis and investment decision-making process, applying a combination of exclusion criteria and ESG integration approach in the investment process. The abbreviation ESG stands for "Environmental - Social - Governance".

For the analysis within the sustainability approach, we rely on data from selected third-party providers and, if necessary, on our own analyses. The analysts and portfolio management teams are responsible for both the financial analysis and the ESG analysis. In this way, we ensure that the assessment and implementation are carried out on a recurring basis by the decision-makers in the respective fund as part of a comprehensive and integrated investment process.

In our investment process, we do not per se exclude investments in companies with weaker ESG ratings: Companies that address the issue of sustainability convincingly and consistently can be interesting portfolio companies.

Latest ESG reporting:

  • Classification with regard to U.N. Global Compact Ten Principles:
    All portfolio companies in the fund comply with the U.N. Global Compact Ten Principles.
  • Current portfolio structure using the ESG Risk Rating (by Sustainalytics):

The above fund is a financial product within the meaning of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (Disclosure Regulation).

For more information on the fulfillment of environmental and/or social characteristics, please refer to the fund prospectus.
