Comment
In May, the fund achieved a performance of 6.88% (I-share class) and 6.85% (R-share class), respectively, compared to 4.9% for the benchmark (MSCI Asia Pacific NR EUR). Trade negotiations between the United States and various Asian countries temporarily stalled and have proven to be more challenging for the Trump administration to enforce than initially anticipated. China, in particular, remains the most significant driving force in Asia, maintaining its resilience due to its strength in manufacturing and technology. The fund exited its position in Oriental Land, the operator of Disneyland and DisneySea in Japan, due to a continued deterioration in its growth potential. Furthermore, the company has not been able to demonstrate sustainable prospects, even with new ventures such as luxury cruise operations. Conversely, the position in GFC Ltd., an elevator manufacturer based in Taiwan, was increased. The Vietnamese equity market continued to trend sideways in May, amid expectations of pending trade negotiations with the United States. The Vietnamese companies held in the portfolio have little to no export exposure to the U.S. market and are therefore less vulnerable in the long term, regardless of how the negotiations with the U.S. ultimately unfold.

Opportunities
Over the long term, equities can offer a significantly higher return than, for example, money market investments or bonds. Equities in the Asia-Pacific region offer higher upside potential than large standard equity markets. The focus on all-cap equities in the Asia-Pacific region allows access to the entire investment universe of this region and thus offers optimal stock picking opportunities and diversification benefits for the portfolio. Investment approach: A long-term investment horizon (>3 years) and a concentrated portfolio of approx. 25-30 stocks with a fundamental "bottom-up" investment approach enable attractive returns. Long-term experience, regular on-site company visits and in-depth know-how in Asian-Pacific companies provide promising expertise.
Risks
Share prices, especially in Asian and Pacific markets, may be subject to strong fluctuations. Price losses or a total loss in individual stocks are possible. A high concentration of the portfolio may increase the risk of loss. The shares in the fund are listed in foreign currencies. Currency fluctuations may occur, which may result in price losses in EUR. The fund may use derivatives to a limited extent. Increased opportunities are accompanied by increased risks of loss. Hedging may also reduce the fund's chances of making a profit. The Fund may be the victim of fraud or other criminal activity. The loss of trading persons may result in an adverse effect on investment performance. Custody Risks: There may be a risk of loss associated with the safekeeping of assets, particularly abroad, which may result from insolvency, breaches of duty of care or abusive conduct by the custodian/sub-custodian. The Fund may enter into various transactions with counterparties. If a contractual partner becomes insolvent, it may no longer be able to settle outstanding claims of the fund or may only be able to settle them in part.
- Information on further risks can be found in the Basisinformationsblatt and the VKP .
- In particular, the fund shows increased fluctuations in the unit price due to its composition and the possible use of derivatives.
