Investment approach
The fund takes advantage of the cyclical interplay between the asset classes bonds and equities. The focus is on international bonds, both corporate and government bonds, in various currencies. The fund also takes advantage of selected opportunities on the equity markets. This allows it to diversify when bonds are temporarily weak and to achieve a positive long-term performance. The allocation between equities, bonds and cash as well as the analysis of the equity and bond markets is based on the FMM method, the proven investment approach of DJE Kapital AG (for more information on the FMM method, please visit www.dje.de). The broad diversification across different asset classes forms the basis for a favourable risk/return ratio.

Monthly Commentary
In December the relief rally of previous month continued - albeit more moderately. Ain this context the bond markets developed quietly but tended to vary. In Germany yields of 10-year Bunds remained virtually unchanged -0.57% while yields of their Italian counterparts narrowed by 9 basis points. The situation was different overseas where yields of 10-year US Treasuries widened by 7 basis points to 0.91%. Corporate bonds of all rating classes continued to trend favorably worldwide at the end of the year. For example, yields of corporate bonds with good credit ratings fell 2 basis points to 0.24% in Europe and 6 basis points to 1.74% in the USA. Yields of high-yield corporate bonds fell 24 basis points to 3.23% in Europe and even 52 basis points to 4.18% overseas. The continued friendly equity market performance at the end of the year encouraged the fund's management to significantly increase the fund's physical as well as derivatives-influenced net equity exposure during the month to 19.2% and 28.5%, close to the maximum limits. The sectors commodities and industrial goods were increased while the sectors financial services and utilities sectors reduced. The commodity platinum has been newly added to the portfolio by means of a commodity certificate and developed positively during the month. The demand for commodities should continue to develop well. Demand from China in particular, the only country that has largely emerged from the Corona crisis, should support this development. The US dollar positions were hedged against the euro throughout the month. The average remaining maturity in the fund, including derivatives, was 3.75 years at year-end. The development of the Italian government bonds in the fund supported the fund’s price performance positive. The performance of the DWS Concept DJE Alpha Renten Global fund was 0.96% in December.
