Note that a fund with risk level 5-7, as stated in the fund's fact sheet (KID), can vary greatly in value due to the fund's composition and management methodology.

Portfolio manager comments — Q1 2025
Fund performance was negative during Q1 2025, which like Q4 2024 was dominated by volatility after the presidential election and the inauguration of the new US president. Uncertainty about trade tariffs and a more protectionistic US market, together with a weaker performance for hyperscalers after the launch of Deepseek, contributed to the fund’s underperformance relative to the benchmark index*.
This explains why the fund’s overweights in TSMC, Schneider Electronics, and nVent had the most negative impact on the fund during the quarter. The train ticket company Trainline, which simplifies travel in Europe by selling train tickets on its platform, had a negative impact on the fund. This was a result of news from the UK government which is planning to launch a government-supported ticket platform for trains that creates competition against private operators such as Trainline and transforms the railway industry and weakens the company’s earnings outlooks. Based on this development, the holding was sold during the quarter.
The strongest positive contributor to fund returns was the telecom company Airtel Africa, which reported strong growth within data and digital payments – two business areas that play a key role for financial and digital inclusion in Africa.
The specialty insurance company Palomar also contributed positively after a strong quarterly report and further growth in premiums. The Spanish bank BBVA also posted strength in the wake of increased optimism in and towards Europe with the new upcoming stimulus package.
The fund also added three new companies to the portfolio: Irish Uniphar, which offers services within pharmaceutical distribution, medical technology and pharmacy; Japanese Organo, specialists in water purification and waste treatment for industrials and households with significant customers within semiconductors; and McKesson, a US company that is a leader within pharmaceutical distribution and health care technology.
The fund changed its portfolio manager to Elias Kayal on 1 March.
