Investment approach
The focus of DJE Gold & Stabilitätsfonds is on investments in gold. For generations, gold has been considered a reliable hedge against losses arising from economic crises and in times of rapid inflation. The diversification of the portfolio through the addition of defensive, high-yield stocks serves to minimise risk. The fund's approach includes mainly stocks with high intrinsic value which have a solid and stable business model and which are characterized by stable cash flows during past crisis periods. On the bond side, only securities of issuers with at least an investment grade credit rating are acquired. The flexible investment approach of DJE Gold & Stabilitätsfonds allows to adapt quickly to constantly changing market conditions. Foreign currencies may be actively hedged against the fund currency.

Chances
- Attractive initial investment level for global dividend and value stocks
- Under-investment by private and institutional investors and emerging market central banks with strong foreign currency reserves in the asset class of gold
- Investments in gold should have additional potential given the precious metal’s role as a monetary stabiliser in politically, socially and economically uncertain times
Risks
- Equity prices may exhibit relatively strong fluctuations depending on market conditions
- Investment in physical precious metals is subject to fluctuations
- Price risks for bonds, particularly when interest rates on the capital markets rise
- Currency risks resulting from the portfolio’s foreign (non-EUR) investments
Monthly Commentary
The DJE Gold & Stabilitätsfonds declined by -1.12% in April in the fund currency Swiss francs. In euro terms, the fund lost -0.12%. The price of a troy ounce of gold fell by -0.57% to 1,806 euros, but rose by 1.05% to 1,999 US dollars. Thus, the gold price remained below the mark of 2,000 US dollars per ounce, as the interest of market participants was already directed towards the meeting of the US Federal Reserve scheduled for the beginning of May. Gold received support from a weaker US dollar and lower bond yields, among other things. In our view, the gold price is likely to remain supported in the coming months as macroeconomic headwinds ease and demand for physical gold, led by central banks, is strong. Moreover, ETF holdings are also starting to recover. The Fund's gold allocation remained almost unchanged at 29.76% (previous month: 29.93%). The MSCI World global equity index (including dividends) fell -0.02% in April in euro terms. The subsectors of the index showed a mixed picture: Relatively best - i.e. with the highest price gains - were, among others, the consumer staples sectors (overweight in the fund), energy (overweight in the fund) and health care (underweight in the fund). Relatively the worst performing sectors - i.e. with the highest price losses - were, among others, the construction materials, technology and non-basic consumer goods sectors (each with an overweight in the fund). Overall, the fund's sector positioning had a neutral impact on the fund's price performance relative to the world equity index in April. On the equity side, the highest performance contributions came from positions including German reinsurer Hannover Re, cosmetics group L'Oréal and ophthalmic optics company EssilorLuxottica and energy group TotalEnergies (all three France), as well as South African gold mining company Gold Fields. On the other hand, positions in Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer TSMC and the two Chinese companies Anta Sports (sporting goods manufacturer) and Alibaba (technology), among others, had a negative impact. Compared to the previous month, the fund's share of equities fell from 39.10% to 38.21%. Bond markets performed positively in April. The Barclays Global Aggregate Total Return Index rose 0.44% in US dollar terms. The Fund's bond allocation increased slightly from 28.55% to 29.45%. Liquidity remained stable at 2.58% (previous month: 2.42%).
