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 DJE Absolut registered an increase of +1.53% per cent; compared to its benchmark which archived +0,31%. The fund performed better than the European equity market (STOXX 600 +1.0%). The international equity market compared to the MSCI world (EUR) suffered from a weak US dollar and was able to increase +0.22 % (EUR) only. Since at the beginning of the month the inflows of fresh investors money towards USA and Japan continued, by month end the first ETF outflows were registered since 22 weeks. The Japanese equity market, on the other side, attracted further money and the Nikkei archived a five-year high. The economic data in the US cooled down. After a weak purchasing manager index at the beginning of the month, poor US job data forced a Euro eruption. Anyway, the Japanese Yen, declined further after the announcement of the BoJ to extend the bond purchasing program even to longer maturities. In China negative news predominated: a weak GDB, unpleasant industrial production figures and purchasing manager index. But also in Germany the ifo- a measure of business sentiment - declined again. The reporting season in the US started mixed and did not offer any special impulses. Very disappointing was the crash of the gold price and gold equities. After record high ETF outflows during the previous months, the gold price lost again 7.93 per cent. The fund management reduced the investment in physical gold before the sharp dip of the gold price. The high quota in Japanese equities, which was increased by adding Japanese car producers (Toyota, Mazda, Nissan) effected the fund performance favorable. Because of the improved rating of the US business as well as the reduction of clients losses Q01/2013 and the attractive dividend yield Deutsche Telekom was purchased in expectation of a positive development. Titles of the insurer Münchener Rück were added to the portfolio after an excellent first quarter and a continuing good price performance at the bond market. Because of the expected rebalancing, the middle term outlooks for equities are still attractive from the valuation point of view. Altogether the trends are sound and despite respectively because of the slowdown in economic signals (monetary and fiscal stimuli more likely) viewing the year 2013 the fund management expects good opportunities in setbacks especially for high yield shares.
