Fund profile

The Ethna-DYNAMISCH is an actively managed, equity-focused multi-asset fund offering risk-controlled access to global equity markets. The most offensive of the Ethna Funds, the Ethna-DYNAMISCH has a net equity allocation that can vary between 0% and 100%. The main performance driver of the fund is an equity portfolio consisting of around 30 – 40 single stocks.

The Ethna-DYNAMISCH uses a fundamental approach to stock picking to generate alpha. The experienced Portfolio Managers not only evaluate the key factors influencing the further development of the equity markets (top-down approach), but also determine the attractiveness of single stocks based on the valuation of the company, the quality of its business model, and the strength of its balance sheet (bottom-up approach).

The Ethna-DYNAMISCH does not follow any benchmarks

In addition to its equity portfolio, the fund can be further diversified through bonds, cash and gold. Potential risks are managed through active asset allocation, rigorous stock selection, and derivatives. All of this, and the fact that the Ethna-DYNAMISCH does not follow any benchmarks, ensures that the fund can flexibly respond to any market environment.

The Ethna-DYNAMISCH for experienced investors and newcomers

With the aims of growing capital over a medium to long-term (3 – 5+ year) investment horizon and earning similar long-term returns to the global equity markets, the Ethna-DYNAMISCH is suitable for both experienced investors and newcomers who consciously accept the increased fluctuations in value on the global stock markets in favour of a higher return potential.

ESG

ESG – taking environmental, social and governance criteria into account

Our aim is to offer clients responsible investment solutions with a competitive and sustainable return, as reflected in our investment guidelines and processes. The Ethna-DYNAMISCH pursues an ESG strategy that complies with Article 8 of the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (2019/2088). In its bond and equity investments, the fund therefore gives preference to companies that have low exposure in terms of significant ESG risks, as well as companies that actively manage and thus reduce the ESG risks inevitably associated with their business activities. In addition, the sustainability approach taken by the Ethna-DYNAMISCH is underscored by comprehensive exclusions:

  • Investments in companies with a core activity in armaments, tobacco, pornography, speculation in basic foodstuffs and/or the mining/distribution of coal are prohibited.
  • Furthermore, we do not invest in companies that have been found to be in serious breach of the principles of the UN Global Compact and have no convincing plan in place to remedy the situation.
  • In the case of sovereign issuers, we exclude investments in countries that have been designated as “Not Free” in the annual analysis carried out by Freedom House.
 

What is ESG?

ESG is the abbreviated version of ‘Environmental, Social, and Governance’, criteria that many investors use alongside financial factors in their investment decisions.

 

ESG in our investment process

1. Broad exclusion of certain sectors  that contradict the ESG principles

2. Assessment of the overall ESG rating of the individual companies based on the data from sustainalytics

3. Individual analysis of the particular ESG parameters of a company

 

Our commitment

In November 2017, we became a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment. These are six principles developed by investors and supported by the United Nations.

Opportunities & Risks

All financial investments are associated with opportunities and risks. Below you will find a compact overview of the opportunities and risks of the Ethna-DYNAMISCH:

 Opportunities

  • A professional Portfolio Management team with many years’ experience.
  • Participation in positive performance on equity and bond markets.
  • Reduction in value fluctuations due to combination of multiple asset classes and spread of invested capital across a variety of individual securities (diversification).
  • Active risk management and hedging measures with the aim of minimising marketled falls in value.
  • High degree of flexibility permits rapid adaptation to changing conditions.

 Risks

  • Market, sector, and company-related price losses in the fund’s equity and bond investments; also as a result of a general rise in yields and/or increase in yield premiums for specific bond issuers.
  • General, geographical and geopolitical country risks: these include the risk that an issuer of a bond, despite being solvent, cannot fulfil its obligations due to an inability or unwillingness
    on the part of a particular country to transfer funds to another country.
  • Issuer, counterparty credit and default risk due to investing in bonds, equities and hedging trades: this includes the risk of insolvency due to issuer or counterparty debt overload or
    illiquidity. A total loss of the affected investment instrument is possible.
  • Exchange rate risks through investing in foreign currencies or in equities and bonds denominated in a foreign currency.
  • The investor suffers a loss if they sell the fund units at less than the acquisition price.

Risk notice regarding an error in the calculation of the net asset value, in the event of violations of the applicable investment regulations and other errors The process of calculating the net asset value (“NAV”) of a fund is not an exact science and the result of this calculation can therefore only represent the greatest possible approximation to the actual total value of the Fund. Accordingly, despite the greatest possible care, it cannot be ruled out that inaccuracies or errors occur in the calculation of the NAV. Should an inaccuracy and/or an error in the calculation of the NAV cause damage to the final beneficiary investors (“end investors”), this shall be replaced in accordance with the provisions of CSSF Circular 24/856. In the event that shares have been subscribed through a financial intermediary (e.g. credit institutions or asset managers), the rights of end investors in relation to compensation payments may be affected. For end investors who subscribe to (sub-)fund shares through financial intermediaries, there is therefore the risk in the event of an incorrect calculation of the NAV in the above-mentioned sense of not receiving compensation. The end investors shall always be compensated for an error in the NAV calculation, in the event of violations of the applicable investment regulations and other errors in accordance with the provisions of CSSF Circular 24/856. With regard to end investors who no longer hold shares in the (sub-)fund, but who are entitled to compensation and are no longer to be determined, the compensation shall be deposited with the Caisse de consignation of the Luxembourg Financial Administration. An incorrect calculation of the NAV or other errors may also be made in favour of the end investors and at the expense of the Fund/sub-funds. In this case, it is at the discretion of the Management Company or the Investment Company to demand compensation from the end investors on behalf of the Fund/Investment Company, provided that the end investors are knowledgeable or professional investors.
