Flossbach von Storch - Dividend is a globally diversified equity fund with an active investment approach. The focus is on first-class companies with an attractive dividend profile. What is important here is not only the dividend yield, but above all dividend security and dividend growth potential.

In addition, exclusion criteria defined within the framework of the Sub-Fund's investment policy are taken into account. At least 75 per cent of the Fund's assets are invested directly in equities. In addition, the Fund may invest in share certificates and share index certificates as well as bonds, time deposits and target funds. The Sub-Fund is actively managed using an index as a reference basis. The portfolio is composed by the fund manager exclusively in accordance with the criteria defined in the investment policy, reviewed regularly and adjusted if necessary. The sub-fund is classified as an Article 8 product within the meaning of the Disclosure Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (SFDR).

a The Sharpe ratio is a measurement for the risk/return profile of an investment. In terms of sub-funds, it determines how much outperformance (that is return on the fund’s assets minus the return of a risk-free asset) the sub-fund achieved per unit of risk.
b The value at risk (VaR) is a means to measure risk and describes the loss that, with a pre-defined probability (in this case 99 per cent) and in a predetermined holding period (in this case 20 days), will not be exceeded. Here we are dealing with an ex post VaR which has been calculated according to sub-fund prices for a given time series.
c Volatility is measured through standard deviation and is used to determine the degree of fluctuation of sub-fund prices over a given time frame.
d The “maximum drawdown” shows the maximum loss an investor can suffer through an unfortunate choice of timing for buying or selling securities in a given time period (260 days).
