Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Performances are net of fees (excluding possible entrance fees charged by the distributor). The return may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations, for the shares which are not currency-hedged. The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) 2019/2088 is a European regulation that requires asset managers to classify their funds as either 'Article 8' funds, which promote environmental and social characteristics, 'Article 9' funds, which make sustainable investments with measurable objectives, or 'Article 6' funds, which do not necessarily have a sustainability objective.

After a strong start to 2025, global stock markets experienced a downturn in March, concluding the first quarter with substantial losses across major indices.
The unpredictable nature of US trade policy has heightened uncertainty, thereby dampening growth expectations in the United States.
In Europe, the month was heavily influenced by tariff developments, including the confirmation of auto tariffs in the last week.
The underperformance of the US market negatively impacted developed market equities, leading to a -4.45% total return for the MSCI World Index. In contrast, emerging market equities outperformed their developed counterparts.
Commodities emerged as the top performers for the month, driven by a further increase in gold prices, with the Bloomberg Commodity Index rising nearly 4%.
Performance commentary
In March, the Fund experienced a negative absolute performance, although it outperformed its benchmark.
Relative to our broad reference indicator, our overweight position in the Industrials sector was the primary detractor.
Specifically, Schneider Electric underperformed during the month due to concerns about potential impacts from tariff threats following its announcement to invest over $700 million in its US operations.
Our outperformance was mainly driven by our stock selection in the Utilities sector.
RWE was the largest contributor to our performance, reporting robust earnings for 2024, which boosted investor confidence.
Outlook strategy
During March, we adjusted our weightings in the Transitioners theme by reducing our exposure to RWE following its strong performance.
Our strong conviction in semiconductors remains intact. Consequently, we increased our positions in the Green Technology sub-theme, particularly in Nvidia, Broadcom, and TSMC.
We believe that our diversification across sub-themes will enable us to better navigate the current market environment.
