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.
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.

- Concentration risk: If investment is concentrated on particular assets or markets, the fund becomes particularly heavily dependent on the performance of these assets or markets.
- Operational risk: The fund can become the victim of fraud, criminal acts or errors by company employees or external third parties. Finally, management of the fund can be negatively impacted by external events such as fires, natural disasters or similar.
- Liquidity risk: If securities are traded in a relatively narrow market segment, it can be difficult to resell them in situations where there is insufficient liquidity.
- Market risk: the performance of financial products depends on the development of the capital markets.
