Monthly Commentary
In September the European stock market was under pressure. The headwinds on the stock markets were caused by a combination of problems that overshadowed the positive economic environment and good corporate figures: supply bottlenecks continued to affect production in the industrialized countries and rising commodity prices caused persistent inflationary pressure. This increased market participants' concerns that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) could adopt a more restrictive course sooner than expected. For Europe, on the other hand, market participants expect monetary policy to remain expansionary. The difficulties of the Chinese real estate company Evergrande also had a negative impact on the market sentiment as negative influences are feared. In this market environment the price of the DJE - Mittelstand & Innovation fell -5.32%. Its benchmark index, 30% MDAX Performance Index, 30% SDAX Performance Index, 30% SMIM Price Index, 10% AUSTRIAN TRADED ATX Index corrected -4.03%. At sector level the fund only benefited from its investments in to the financial services sector in September. The best results of individual stocks were delivered by the mobility group Sixt (car rental, car sharing and driving service brokerage/Pullach), Erste Group Bank (Vienna), which belongs to the Austrian savings bank group, the IT company SUSE (open source solutions for companies/Luxembourg) and the IT service provider S&T (Vienna). On the other hand, the fund's price performance was mainly affected by the sectors cyclical consumer goods, construction & materials, technology and utilities. Particularly disappointing was the performance of stocks of the two technology companies Asetek (liquid cooling solutions for computer systems/Denmark) and Exasol (database management software/Nuremberg) as well as of the internet retailer Westwing Group (Munich) and the online pharmacy Shop Apotheke (Netherlands). During the month the fund management reduced especially the retail sector. On the other hand it increased the sectors technology and real estates. Regionally the Germany allocation was increased in particular. The equity ratio was 98.42% at the end of the month (97.17% previous month).
