Key information
DJE - Zins & Dividende invests globally, primarily in bonds and equities, and is free of benchmark constraints. The fund seeks to generate a stable performance while emphasising an absolute return approach with the aim of avoiding losses as far as possible. Through differentiated weighting of the asset classes bonds and equities which are characterised by high dividends and substance, the fund aims to generate regular interest income on the one hand and to achieve the most sustained positive performance possible with low volatility on the other. When selecting shares, the fund management pays attention to stable dividend payments and also to an investor-friendly corporate policy with capital returns and share buybacks (total shareholder return). The fund's flexible investment approach enables it to adapt quickly to the constantly changing market conditions. To reduce the risk of capital fluctuations, at least 50% of the fund's assets are invested in bonds on a permanent basis. The equity exposure is at least 25% and is limited to a maximum of 50%. Currency risks are hedged depending on market conditions.

Investment approach
The DJE – Zins & Dividende aims to deliver - over a full market cycle - a constant absolute return in all market conditions no matter the market direction. On the bond side the DJE in-house research team tries to selectively filter out of the complete bond universe the most promising investment ideas. The DJE – Zins & Dividende will mainly invest in bonds issued by public bodies and corporations rated at least investment grade. On the equity side the well-established investment approach of the DJE dividend strategy is based on the recognition that, in the long term, most of the overall performance of an equity investment comes from the compounding effect generated by reinvested dividends. Long-term investigations of international stock markets show that only slightly more than half of the profits are caused by price increases and the other half due to dividend effects. The attractive dividend yield currently provided by companies and the good earning offers further dividend growth potential. Considerations like these, in combination with the absolute return approach of DJE – Zins & Dividende, should lead to an attractive risk/return profile of the fund, which should also in volatile markets be maintained by allowing the management to flexibly allocate between equity and bonds respectively cash.

Monthly Commentary
As most stock markets, with a few exceptions (above all China, Hong Kong), were able to achieve gains, some of them significant, March developed very pleasing. Good economic indicators reflect confidence that with the progress of vaccinations in China and the US Corona-related constraints will soon be history providing a tailwind for European and US equity markets. Market participants also welcomed the US's US$1.9 trillion Corona bailout package. European and American central banks raised their inflation expectations for the full year to 1.5% and 2.4%, respectively. The US bond market came under pressure in view of these developments. Yields of 10-year US government bonds rose from 1.40% to 1.74%. Their German counterparts, on the other hand, yielded -0.29%, three basis points lower. The price of gold fell further from US$1,727 to US$1,705/troz against a backdrop of rising interest rates and an improving economy. In this market environment the price of DJE - Zins & Dividende rose 2.72%. In March all sectors of the global equity market performed positively. The sectors with the highest price gains were personal care & pharmaceuticals, utilities, automobiles and food & beverages as well as construction & materials and credit institutions. The sectors with the relatively weakest results, i.e. the lowest price gains, were basic materials and media. The fund benefited from its investments into the sectors automotive and telecom. The highest value contributions came from the US investment company Blackrock and the Hong Kong chemical industry holding company Kingboard. On the other hand, the basic materials sector burdened the fund's performance. On the equity side the Chinese wind turbine manufacturer Xinjiang Goldwind and the British-Australian mining company Rio Tinto performed particularly disappointing. During the month the fund's management increased its investments mainly into the chemicals, oil & gas and insurance sectors. On the other hand the technology sector was reduced. Regionally the share of German equities was increased. The equity ratio of the fund was 49.12% (48.78% previous month). On the bond side 10-year Greek government bonds and corporate bonds of cyclical issuers, which will benefit from a normalization after the Corona lockdowns, delivered a positive contribution to the fund's performance in March. On the other hand, 10-year Mexican government bonds and corporate bonds of good credit worthiness with a rather longer maturity, which came under pressure in the face of a recovering economy, rising inflation and rising bond yields, burdened the fund's performance. During the month the fund's management bought corporate bonds from the sectors industry, technology and telecommunication with medium maturities. The fund's bond allocation rose from 49.74% to 52.77% as the share of government bonds falling slightly and the share of corporate bonds rising slightly. The bond portfolio was hedged several times last month against the rise in interest rates of 10-year US and federal government bonds.
