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 5.00% he has to payEUR 50.00 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
The US presidential election took place in early November, with Trump emerging with a landslide victory. Bitcoin, US equities and the US dollar were among the winners on the stock market. Within US equities, financials and industrials were the main beneficiaries, as Trump's inauguration is linked to hopes of deregulation and nearshoring. While the S&P 500 reached a new all-time high at the end of November, European and emerging market equities struggled, weighed down by the prospect of higher tariffs (Euro Stoxx 50 -0.48%, S&P 500 +5.73%, Nasdaq +6.21%, Hang Seng -4.40%, Nikkei -2.23%). The yield on 10-year German government bonds closed the month at 2.08%, 30 basis points (bps) lower than at the beginning of the month, due to continued economic weakness, political uncertainty in France and Germany and the negative outlook for global trade following Donald Trump's election victory. In France, political instability and the budget dispute had a negative impact, leading to a sharp widening of the spread between French and German government bonds. Spreads on European investment grade bonds widened by 2 bps, while those on European high yield bonds widened by 14 bps. Gold was unable to extend its rally and ended the month in negative territory due to rising real yields, the strength of the US dollar and a rotation out of gold into bitcoin.
