- Consistent bottom-up approach
- Attractive long-term equity investment
- First-class fund management
Lupus alpha has one of the largest and most experienced portfolio management teams in Europe for German small and mid caps. A large, focused team is a crucial factor for success in an active, fundamentally-based stock-picking process:
FOCUSED TEAM
... and one of the largest small & mid cap teams in Europe
LONGSTANDING EXPERIENCE
... in the team and an excellent track record since 2001
DETAILED COMPANY KNOWLEDGE
... based on around 1,500 direct and personal company contacts per year
LARGE INVESTMENT UNIVERSE
... with around 2,000 individual stocks – ideal for stock picking to achieve alpha
SDAX and MDAX shares – actively managed with a bottom-up strategy
The fund primarily invests in stocks from the MDAX and SDAX index. Internationally very well positioned companies - often world market leaders - are represented here. Due to lean company structures of most medium sized businesses, they are much more maneuverable in cyclical downturns than large companies. In order to filter out the most profitable stocks from this universe, the fund management relies primarily on personal discussions with the management and on-site visits to the company. The investment objective of the fund is to outperform the benchmark index (consisting of the 50% MDAX + 50% SDAX performance index) over the long term through targeted stock selection.
The fund's investment objective is to outperform the benchmark (a 50/50 split between the MDAX and SDAX Performance Index) over the long term using targeted stock-selection. The sector allocation of the benchmark index is only of secondary importance.
Experienced fund managers
Fund Manager Björn Glück has more than 15 years' experience managing small- and mid-cap strategies and has been working with Lupus alpha since 2005. Jonas Liegl, the experienced small- and mid-cap fund manager, has more than 10 years of experience in the analysis and portfolio management of European micro-, small- and mid-caps for large institutional mandates.

Chances
- Participation in fundamental and technical events of individual stocks.
- You can benefit from the deep network that our fund managers foster with small- and mid-cap companies of our investment universe.
- The investment process enhances the security selection and ensures permanent monitoring of risks.
- You can benefit from information advantages that arise from the lower analyst coverage of small- and mid-cap companies.
- Promising upside potential of european small- and mid-cap stocks.
Risks
- Risk of price changes: Experience shows that equities are subject to sharp price fluctuations and thus the risk of price declines. These fluctuations are particulary impacted by the earnings development of the issuing company as well as sector trends and overall economic development.
- Concentration risk: If investment is concentrated on particular assets or markets, the fund becomes particularly heavily dependent on the performance of these assets or markets.
- Operational risk: The fund can become the victim of fraud, criminal acts or errors by company employees or external third parties. Finally, management of the fund can be negatively impacted by external events such as fires, natural disasters or similar.
- Liquidity risk: If securities are traded in a relatively narrow market segment, it can be difficult to resell them in situations where there is insufficient liquidity.
- Market risk: the performance of financial products depends on the development of the capital markets.

- Source: Lupus alpha; gross performance (BVI method): The gross performance considers all costs incurred at Fund level (e. g. management fee) and assumes reinvestment of any distributions. Costs incurred at customer level such as sales charge and securities account costs are not included. Unless otherwise specified, all indicated performance data show the gross performance. Please note: Past performance is not a reliable indicator the future performance.
- Source: Lupus alpha; the net performance assumes a model calculation based on an invested amount of EUR 1,000, the maximum sales charge and a redemption charge (see master data). It does not include individual costs of the investor, such as a securities account fee. (To this effect, please refer to the price list of your securities account provider.) Please note: Past performance is not a reliable indicator for future performance.
- Volatility is the range of variation of a security price or index around its mean value over a fixed period of time. A security is regarded as volatile if its price fluctuates heavily. The tracking error describes the standard deviation (volatility) between the Fund's performance and the performance of the benchmark index. The higher the tracking error, the more the performance of the Fund deviates from the performance of the benchmark index. The investment ratio means the part of the Fund that is not invested in case.
- The sales charge is the difference between the sales price and the unit value. The sales charge varies depending on the type of the Fund and the distribution channel and usually covers the advisory and distribution costs. The Distributor will demand the sales charge at its own discretion.
- The management fee is the fee for managing the Fund and taken from the Fund's assets; it is paid to Lupus alpha for the management and administration of the Fund.
- The performance fee is a performance-related remuneration depending on the performance or the achievement of specific objectives such as a better performance compared to a benchmark. The costs may also be levied if a pre-defined minimum performance has been achieved.
- Distributing Funds do not reinvest the generated income, they pay out the income to the investor.
