For performance data individual costs, such as the initial sales charge (a maximum of 3% of the amount invested) are not taken into consideration. Depending on the amount, those would decrease performance accordingly. Past performance is no indicator for future developments of a fund. Information subject to change.
Portfolio manager comments as of May 2013
The US consumer confidence surprisingly improved a lot in May. Responsible for this increase in confidence were the better jobs market as well as rising stock and real estate prices. Ben Bernanke commented in his testimony to the respective committees of Congress that the Fed may reduce the speed and amount of bond purchased under its QE policy should the economy continue to improve faster than expected. The led to a drop in stock and bond prices (increase in bond yields). The Euro periphery countries benefited from the change in focus from belt tightening to growth policies. Nevertheless the current focus of the ECB is not on the absolute level of its repo rate, but much more on the creating accessibility to corporate loans through other institution for example the European Investment Bankperiphery countries. At the end of April Italy even put together a coaling government under the leadership of Enrico Lettas. Corporate bonds remained well supported. Overall the spreads of corporate bonds narrowed to levels below the average levels of when the EURO was introduced.
