The charts and tables regarding performance shown here are based on own calculations according to the method developed by the German Investment Funds Association (BVI). They illustrate past performance. Future performance can deviate both positively and negatively from these calculations. Gross performance (BVI method) takes into account all charges at fund level (e.g. management fee), net performance plus the issue surcharge. Additional charges can arise for individual investors (e.g. custody account fees, commissions and other fees). Model calculation (net): An investor wants to purchase fund units for EUR 1,000 EUR. Considering a max issue surcharge of 1.00% he has to payEUR 10.00 for the purchase. Also, fees may be charged for the administration of the safe custody account, which will lower the performance. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Monthly market comment
Weaker macroeconomic indicators, such as GDP growth in Germany (-0.1%), and more dovish tones from the ECB and the Fed have prompted the bond markets to assume further interest rate cuts by the end of the year. At the end of the month under review, almost 3 interest rate cuts were expected in the USA and 2 in the eurozone. The BOJ surprised market participants at the end of the month with an interest rate hike and a support programme, causing significant market distortions in the short term, particularly on the equity and currency markets. In a monthly comparison, the yield on the 3-month Euribor fell by 0.05% to 3.65%. The risk premiums on European corporate bonds with an investment grade rating (-8bp) and covered bonds (-5bp) trended sideways, although new issue activity was very brisk right into the height of the summer.
