Comment
Vietnam's equity market experienced a wave of investor euphoria in August, resulting in a strong performance across sectors such as banks and property developers. Most notably, Techcombank, Military Bank, and Vingroup led the rally, despite the absence of any material improvement in their quarterly fundamentals. Our fund maintains an underweight position in these types of companies, which contributed to its Vietnam allocation underperforming relative to the broader index. Nevertheless, the fund delivered a solid return for the month of August, posting gains of 2.03% for the institutional share class and 1.97% for the retail share class, compared to a 0.84% increase in the MSCI Asia Pacific NR EUR index. Investor sentiment toward the Thai equity market has remained subdued since the beginning of the year, weighed down by political uncertainty and lackluster macro signals. Historically, such environments have presented compelling opportunities to accumulate high-quality companies at attractive valuations. Accordingly, the fund initiated positions in two Thai firms during August: Airports of Thailand and Bumrungrad Hospital. Both companies have been on our watchlist for several years and now offer a favorable entry point at fair valuations. A similarly adverse climate is evident in Indonesia, where political tensions continue to dominate the daily press and equity markets remain subdued. Nonetheless, the prevailing conditions are likely to give rise to compelling investment opportunities for the fund in the near term.

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.
