Last Update:

Maximum loss: This ratio measures the maximum loss of an investment over a given period (e.g. 1 year) as a percentage based on daily closing prices. It shows the maximum possible relative loss, taking into account distributions, that an investor would have suffered if he had bought at the highest unit price and sold at the lowest within a given period. Calculation: maximum loss = (lowest unit price × 100 / highest unit price (time before the low point)) - 100. The maximum gain, taking into account distributions, is calculated in the same way (highest unit price × 100 / lowest unit price (time before high) - 100).

Information on performance

The gross performance (BVI method) takes into account all costs incurred at fund level (such as management fees). The net performance also takes into account the issuance fee, which reduces the performance. For an investment amount of 1,000 euros, the investor incurs a one-time issuance fee of 3.0% (= 29.13 euros) upon issuance. Since the issuance fee is only charged in the first year, the gross/net performances only differ in this year. The investor may incur additional securities account fees that reduce the performance. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Source: MEAG.

Note: On days that fall on a public holiday or a weekend, the price of the previous day or the last available price is used, as it is not possible to determine a price on these days.

🌱 Focus on issuers with good or very good ESG ratings (best-in-class approach)

Detailed sustainability ratings are used to filter out those exhibitors who perform comparatively well in their respective industries in terms of environmental and social aspects as well as the principles of good corporate governance (the so-called best-in-class approach).

📋 Principle Adverse Impacts (PAI)

The fund management takes into account the most important indicators of adverse impact for each investment decision. These are used to examine possible negative effects of an investment decision on important ESG issues. 

14 key indicators of adverse impacts have been defined for companies and two for countries. These cover the following areas1:

  • Greenhouse gas emissions,  
  • Biodiversity,  
  • Water,  
  • Waste and
  • Social issues / Employee concerns. 

As part of the consideration, the fund manager regularly and for each investment decision checks whether the company or the issuer of the security has a negative impact on important environmental, social or corporate governance issues. If this is the case, the fund manager either does not acquire the security or actively tries to influence the issuer or the company, depending on the severity of the negative impact. The aim is to reduce the negative impact of an investment on the environment and society.

Information on the main adverse impacts on sustainability factors is available in the fund's annual report.
