Investment Strategy
Berenberg Equities Global Plus is an offensive multi-asset fund with the aim of participating in the long-term performance of the global capital markets, in particular the equity market, with reduced volatility. Using its proven fundamental approach, the portfolio management identifies global quality companies that achieve above-average earnings growth, have a dominant market position and benefit from structural growth drivers. In addition to equities, investments can also be made in bonds, precious metals and alternative investments if they are relatively attractive. Another important component of the strategy is the utilisation of tactical opportunities and the targeted use of derivatives, for example to efficiently manage the equity allocation

The charts and tables regarding performance shown here are based on own calculations according to the method developed by the German Investment Funds Association (BVI). They illustrate past performance. Future performance can deviate both positively and negatively from these calculations. Gross performance (BVI method) takes into account all charges at fund level (e.g. management fee), net performance plus the issue surcharge. Additional charges can arise for individual investors (e.g. custody account fees, commissions and other fees). Model calculation (net): An investor wants to purchase fund units for EUR 1,000 EUR. Considering a max issue surcharge of 5.50% he has to payEUR 55.00 for the purchase. Also, fees may be charged for the administration of the safe custody account, which will lower the performance. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Monthly market comment
In September, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the associated risk of energy-driven inflation shaped the market environment. Despite brief hopes of de-escalation, Brent crude remained elevated at around USD 100 per barrel. In equities, the S&P 500 edged down 0.4%, while the NASDAQ-100 gained 3.3% on positive momentum in the AI sector (in USD). The MSCI Europe fell 2.4% amid interest rate and energy price risks (in EUR). At the sector level, only technology held up, while interest rate-sensitive sectors posted the largest declines. In the portfolio, we sold BNP Paribas and increased our position in HSBC, reducing our exposure to France while keeping the financials weighting unchanged. Government bond yields in the US and Europe rose across all maturities, accompanied by rate hikes from the Fed and the ECB. The main drivers at the long end were rising US government debt and waning confidence in government bonds as a defensive asset class. The US dollar appreciated 2.4% against the euro. Gold corrected 6.3% over the month as higher real yields raised the opportunity cost of holding it.
