Real assets within reach!
Real asset investments such as real estate, infrastructure or commodities are tangible assets with real substance and their own physical value. They are considered a defensive investment and can help improve the risk and return profile of a portfolio, as they have historically been less susceptible to volatility in volatile markets. In addition, this asset class has historically shown a higher payout ratio compared to global equities or global bonds.

Risks[12]
- Market-, sector- and company-related price losses.
- Exchange rate losses.
- Increased regulation in the infrastructure sector worldwide.
- Weakening of underlying trends (urbanization / mobile data use / higher demand for transport of people and goods or energy).
- Concentration risk: By concentrating on shares in the infrastructure sector, there is limited diversification within the fund.
- Due to its composition/the techniques used by the fund management, the investment fund exhibits increased volatility, i.e. the unit prices may be subject to stronger downward or upward fluctuations even within short periods of time.
- The unit value may at any time fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the unit.
- The fund invests its assets in selected regions or sectors. This increases the risk that the fund will be negatively affected by the economic and political conditions in the respective regions or sectors.
- The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price declines.
- The fund invests in bonds whose value depends on whether the issuer is able to make its payments. The risk of payment default can also be subject to fluctuations for issuers.
