Investment Strategy

The investment focus of DJE - Absolut is on securities from European issuers. The fund managers have complete freedom in the selection of asset classes within this region. It is therefore possible for investments to be entirely in equities or entirely in bonds. Instruments such as convertible bonds may also be used. The fund managers make active use of the cash weighting to manage risk, which can help to mitigate the effects of negative market developments. This degree of freedom is a particular strategic advantage in periods of high volatility on the markets, as it gives managers the ability to act as asset managers and to position themselves accordingly in different market environments.

Monthly Fund Manager's Commentary

In April the European stock markets remained in its gloomy mood. The MSCI World in EUR lost 0.77%. The Stoxx 600 for the most important equities suffered a loss of 2.29%. On the contrary the US market, mirrored by S & P 500 in Euro, increased 0.70%. The development of the Asian markets varied too. The Nikkei 225 lost 2.48 % but the Hang Seng Index for shares registered in HongKong increased by 3.50 %. The reason for the poor development may have been the considerably weak European Purchasing Manager Index. A further factor was the significant burden of the Spanish and Greece banking system. Recent studies indicate the total failure risk of 70% of the Spanish property loans with a volume of 323 billion Euros. However, the Chinese economic indicator slightly recovered. Whereas the US economic indicator ECRI declined the second time in a row. Because of the substantial correction of the European equity market on one hand and on the other side the compared to bonds favorable valuated shares, have improved the outlook for a successful entry for investments into shares.
