FACTSHEET

Übersicht

Manager's Outlook

The current pushes and pulls in the market are incredibly complex. From a fundamental perspective, near- to intermediate-term economic and corporate data are likely�going to be exceedingly strong. We are still operating in a very low interest rate world, in any absolute sense, rates remain near historic lows, with a massive amount of central bank liquidity and fiscal stimulus at a time when real GDP growth is picking up and corporate earnings are likely to accelerate this year and next. While equity valuations are still more reasonable when compared with bond yields, they are clearly above average for a normal environment, which causes some concern.

�

The ongoing health pandemic offers its own pushes and pulls. There has been a marked improvement in vaccine distribution within the U.S., with 2% to 3% of the country's population being vaccinated each week. However, the vaccine rollouts in parts of Europe and Asia have been rockier and the virus is likely to remain in the world for some time, particularly in some emerging market countries where we may be more than a year out before many people can obtain the vaccine, which amplifies risks of virus variants.�

�

The Biden administration's emerging priorities offer positives and negatives for equity investors as well. Widespread fiscal stimulus has supported asset prices, but the increasing likelihood of rising corporate tax rates could put a damper on after-tax corporate earnings. Geopolitically, relations between the U.S. and China remain complex. The arrival of a new U.S. administration increased expectations for less adversarial relations, but it has become clear that underlying tensions between the two superpowers are real, structural, and unlikely to go away.

�

We have also seen exuberance and extreme positive sentiment in markets. There has been an explosion in special-purpose acquisition companies and initial public offerings as well as retail investors with growing risk-seeking behavior driving price movements. While we think we have entered a new equity bubble with areas of the market looking frothy and irrational, it could be years before we experience a meaningful reversion, which means there could still be room for equities to move higher.

�

Recognizing the challenging pushes and pulls in the market, we are trying to be more balanced with the portfolio, keeping the overall portfolio beta near 1.0, not overly offensive or defensive, while focusing on picking stocks broadly across sectors and regions. We think volatility is likely to increase, in part due to higher dispersion within factors, styles, and sectors, and think such an environment is well suited for active investment. While financial and market conditions have changed meaningfully, and will continue to do so, our investment philosophy, rooted in stock selection and a thoughtful approach to portfolio construction, has not. It is this consistent process that allows us to successfully navigate more challenging cycles.

Strategie

Kurzbeschreibung

Bei der Verwaltung des Fonds werden die Erkenntnisse aus Fundamentalanalysen mit einem stark strukturierten Prozess zur Portfoliokonstruktion kombiniert. Die beteiligten weltweit ansässigen Analysten treffen Entscheidungen zu Käufen und Verkäufen für ihren jeweiligen Teil des Portfolios. Diese unterliegen jedoch der Aufsicht und dem Ermessen der Portfoliomanager. Das Ziel des Fonds ist die Erzielung von Wertzuwächsen anhand der aktienspezifischen Erkenntnisse unserer Analysten. Unser Ansatz für die Portfoliokonstruktion minimiert das Stil-, Länder-, Sektor- und Branchenrisiko im Vergleich zur Benchmark. Die Förderung ökologischer und/oder sozialer Merkmale wird durch die Selbstverpflichtung des Fonds erreicht, mindestens 10% des Portfoliowertes in nachhaltigen Anlagen im Sinne der Verordnung über die Offenlegung nachhaltiger Finanzen (SFDR) zu halten. Darüber hinaus wenden wir interne Filter für die Auswahl an (Ausschlussliste). Der Fondsmanager ist aufgrund der Verwendung des Vergleichsindexes bei der Portfoliokonstruktion an diese gebunden - weitere Informationen finden Sie im Verkaufsprospekt. Der Vergleichsindex kann auch für Performancevergleiche herangezogen werden.

31-März-2021 - Scott Berg, Portfoliomanager,

Global equities generated solid returns in March amid accelerating vaccine rollouts, generally strong economic data, and continued accommodative monetary policy and fiscal stimulus. Within the portfolio, our holdings in the information technology sector had the most negative impact on relative performance. Shares of Brazilian payment processing company StoneCo fell amid the ongoing political and health crisis in Brazil as most of the country was in lockdown by March. We continue to believe that StoneCo, which is attacking a huge market ripe for disruption, is in a good position to gain share. With a strong management team and solid execution, the company operates a highly service-oriented model and is introducing cutting-edge technology into Brazil’s payments market. On the positive side, industrials and business services boosted relative results. Shares of global parcel and freight delivery service FedEx spiked following a strong earnings report, beating analyst expectations despite a negative impact from winter storms. Revenue growth and margin improvement in ground delivery services were highlights of the report. We think FedEx offers a compelling cyclical opportunity due to a number of positive growth drivers that should coalesce over the near term.

Real estate has been challenged as the pandemic has reduced demand, but we think the sector stands to benefit as the health crisis wanes and demand accelerates. In addition, in a lower growth world, we think this is an area that offers solid yield backed by tangible, quality assets. Within the sector, we own a diverse mix of high-quality companies of both residential and commercial assets in the U.S., Philippines, China, and London.

31-März-2021 - Scott Berg, Portfoliomanager,

We participated in the initial public offering for Coupang, South Korea's largest e-commerce platform. We believe the company will grow much larger in South Korea over time as it continues to disrupt offline commerce by offering consumers faster delivery, more selections, and lower prices. The firm has heavily invested in logistics and technology, which has created a strong moat that makes its strategy difficult to follow by competitors. The company is also expanding into food delivery, which could be another driver of growth in the future.
We eliminated our position in Jollibee Foods, the dominant quick-service restaurant operator in the Philippines. This is a name we have owned in the portfolio for years as we like the company's exposure to the demographic growth trends in the region. However, the country is still struggling with pandemic-related headwinds, and with our outlook for the company more opaque, we chose to exit our position.
We continue to have a core position in Amazon.com. While many investors are debating how much further the stock has to run given its impressive performance in 2020, we still think the extraordinary long-run e-commerce trends that have been pulled forward by the pandemic, as well as the company's strong position in cloud computing via its Amazon Web Services, mean Amazon.com is still well positioned for growth over the long term.
Quidel is a manufacturer of diagnostic health care products and rapid diagnostic testing products. The company has benefited from strong demand for its rapid point-of-care coronavirus antigen diagnostics test, but the stock has recently suffered due to durability concerns following the rollout of several coronavirus vaccines. We initiated a position on weakness, as we believe that Quidel is poised to emerge from the pandemic with a higher earnings base. We also maintain a favorable view of the company's pipeline.
We started a position in Welltower, a real estate investment trust that works with senior housing operators, post-acute providers, and health systems to fund real estate and infrastructure needed to scale innovative care delivery models. We believe Welltower could emerge from the pandemic stronger given its favorable liquidity profile and the likelihood for significantly increased demand for senior housing in the coming years. In addition, the company's recent purchases of distressed senior housing could add value over time.
We initiated a position in KE Holdings, the leading property online and offline brokerage platform in China. The company operates a disruptive platform called Agent Cooperation Network, which is similar to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) used by realtors in the U.S. KE Holdings is rapidly gaining market share and stands to benefit from strong growth in China's real estate market and the increased adoption of brokers for new home sales by property developers.
We eliminated our stake in Monolithic Power Systems, an analog semiconductor company focused on power management. This high-quality company, which has differentiated technology, high customer service, and good free cash flow generation, features diversity in product wins across multiple industries and a highly fragmented customer base. However, share prices have appreciated recently due to the company's strong relative performance, and we shifted the sale proceeds into names with less demanding valuations.
We eliminated our position in Temenos, which packages back-end software for banks. This is a name we have owned for some time, and with the stock spiking late in the period, we chose to exit our position in favor of names where we have stronger conviction.

Shares of Brazilian payment processing company StoneCo fell amid the ongoing political and health crises in Brazil as most of the country was in lockdown by March. We continue to believe that StoneCo, which is attacking a huge market ripe for disruption, is in a good position to gain share. With a strong management team and proven execution, the company operates a highly service-oriented model and is introducing cutting-edge technology into Brazil's payments market. Moreover, longer term, we have conviction that StoneCo is poised to transform into a full-service, one-stop multichannel financial services platform for small and medium-sized businesses in Brazil.
Shares of Zalando, Europe's leading online apparel retailer, fell on news that Swedish investment firm Kinnevik would be selling its substantial stake in the company. The stock was also swept up in the broader factor rotation away from secular growth names that had been COVID-19 beneficiaries. Near the end of the period, Zalando reported strong earnings results and the stock rose, though not enough to offset losses experienced earlier in the quarter. We have high conviction in Zalando and believe it has a long runway for success given its substantial leads in terms of scale, distribution, brand relationships, technology, and operational efficiency. It has also been expanding into a third-party marketplace platform with its Partner Program, which is growing rapidly.
Private Indian bank Kotak Mahindra traded down over the period as rising COVID-19 cases in the region led to concerns about India's economic recovery. We think Kotak Mahindra Bank is one of the highest-quality banks in India led by a solid management team, with a strong underwriting culture and a transparent and disciplined loan mix.
Despite investments in e-commerce weighing on the bottom line, shares of Sea grinded higher thanks to better-than-expected guidance, particularly from its gaming division, as the company's "Free Fire" title continues to accumulate users, while strong execution is driving improving profitability. We believe Sea's platform is well positioned to gain share in Southeast Asia's high-margin online gaming market, with additional growth supported by an underappreciated consumer-to-consumer e-commerce marketplace with improving monetization trends.
