1) Important note:
The fund key figure "yield" corresponds to the average yield figures of the bonds held in the fund. This ratio has nothing to do with the value development (or performance, sometimes also called "yield development"). Please refer to the fund web fact sheets below for the performance of each fund.
Please also take into account that the fund key figure "return" is calculated before taking into account costs from hedging foreign currency risks. Other factors such as taxes or possible expenses are not included in this key figure.
The key figure "yield" is also not a good indicator or estimator of the future performance of a fund or bond.
For more information on the calculation of the "yield" indicator, please refer to our Fund Glossary.

2) SRI Indicator: The risk classification of investment funds is based on the SRI indicator on a scale from 1 to 7, where 7 represents the highest risk level. The calculation is based on European regulatory requirements and is an integral part of the Key Information Document (KID).

Comments on the development of the bond markets

The new US administration has drawn attention in its first 100 days with some unexpected actions and statements. These include repeated calls for the central bank to lower interest rates. The motivation behind this is less about supporting the economy and more about reducing interest payments on national debt. In its last meeting, the US Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged, with the upper band currently at 4.5%. The Federal Reserve remains in a wait-and-see stance, as inflation risks are tilted to the upside. Only in the event of a significant economic downturn, such as a recession or a rise in the unemployment rate, are interest rate cuts conceivable.
