CUMULATIVE PAST PERFORMANCE

Calendar Past Performance

This chart shows the fund’s performance as the percentage loss or gain per year over the last 10 years compared to the index.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Markets could develop very differently in the future. It can help you to assess how the fund has been managed in the past and compare it to the index. For the avoidance of doubt, the fund is actively managed. The index performance is provided for comparative and information purposes only.

 

Performance is shown after the deduction of ongoing charges. Any applicable entry and exit charges are excluded from the calculation. This share class came into existence in 2006. Past performance has been calculated in EUR. As this is a new share class, there is not enough historical data to provide investors with any useful indication of past performance.
