Investment concept

SDAX and MDAX shares – actively managed with a bottom-up strategy

The fund primarily invests in stocks from the MDAX and SDAX index. Internationally very well positioned companies - often world market leaders - are represented here. Due to lean company structures of most medium sized businesses, they are much more maneuverable in cyclical downturns than large companies. In order to filter out the most profitable stocks from this universe, the fund management relies primarily on personal discussions with the management and on-site visits to the company. The investment objective of the fund is to outperform the benchmark index (consisting of the 50% MDAX + 50% SDAX performance index) over the long term through targeted stock selection.

Investment objective

The fund's investment objective is to outperform the benchmark (a 50/50 split between the MDAX and SDAX Performance Index) over the long term using targeted stock-selection. The sector allocation of the benchmark index is only of secondary importance.

  1. Source: Lupus alpha; gross performance (BVI method): The gross performance considers all costs incurred at Fund level (e. g. management fee) and assumes reinvestment of any distributions. Costs incurred at customer level such as sales charge and securities account costs are not included. Unless otherwise specified, all indicated performance data show the gross performance. Please note: Past performance is not a reliable indicator the future performance.
  2. Source: Lupus alpha; the net performance assumes a model calculation based on an invested amount of EUR 1,000, the maximum sales charge and a redemption charge (see master data). It does not include individual costs of the investor, such as a securities account fee. (To this effect, please refer to the price list of your securities account provider.) Please note: Past performance is not a reliable indicator for future performance.
  3. Volatility is the range of variation of a security price or index around its mean value over a fixed period of time. A security is regarded as volatile if its price fluctuates heavily. The tracking error describes the standard deviation (volatility) between the Fund's performance and the performance of the benchmark index. The higher the tracking error, the more the performance of the Fund deviates from the performance of the benchmark index. The investment ratio means the part of the Fund that is not invested in cash.
  4. The sales charge is the difference between the sales price and the unit value. The sales charge varies depending on the type of the Fund and the distribution channel and usually covers the advisory and distribution costs. The Distributor will demand the sales charge at its own discretion.
  5. The management fee is the fee for managing the Fund and taken from the Fund's assets; it is paid to Lupus alpha for the management and administration of the Fund.
  6. The performance fee is a performance-related remuneration depending on the performance or the achievement of specific objectives such as a better performance compared to a benchmark. The costs may also be levied if a pre-defined minimum performance has been achieved.
  7. Distributing Funds do not reinvest the generated income, they pay out the income to the investor.
