Key information
The fund invests primarily in equities that are directly or indirectly involved in agriculture or the food value chain. The asset allocation is managed independently of any benchmark constraints and the investment level can be reduced to 51% in difficult periods. Agricultural and food companies are expected to benefit from the structurally rising world population and drive long-term value appreciation. However, in the short term significant price fluctuations in agricultural commodities are possible. The fund refrains from investing in physical commodities or any derivatives, which benefit from rising food prices.

Investment strategy
Aside from world population growth, the increasing demand for protein-rich foods resulting from rising living standards in developing countries is the main driver of agricultural prices. Moreover, increasing urbanisation is contributing to a shortfall of farmland, which is slowing the closing of the supply gap. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), droughts and floods could reduce worldwide crop yields by another 20% to 40% in future. To alleviate this looming food shortfall, the demand for modern farm machinery and irrigation equipment, efficient seeds, pesticides and fertilizers, aquaculture and suitable animal feed is likely to increase significantly. The investment concept of DJE - Agrar & Ernährung is to select companies that benefit from these trends. In the case of falling commodity prices the fund, can benefit from investments within the food sector. To reduce risk the fund seeks to diversify the portfolio both thematically and regionally.

Monthly Commentary
While the high Robusta coffee and cocoa prices in particular provided plenty to talk about until mid-April, attention turned to rising wheat prices towards the end of the month. Insufficient rainfall in the Black Sea region rightly raised doubts as to whether the previous harvest expectations were really realistic, particularly for the Russian wheat-growing region. As Russia is now the world's most important wheat exporter, the growing conditions there have a significant impact on pricing worldwide. However, global maize and soya bean prices could also show signs of recovery in the short term. In view of the still relatively high short positions on the US futures market, the usual weather fluctuations are probably enough to prompt some market participants to adjust their current risk positions. The wood pulp market has also recently experienced an unexpectedly strong price upturn. As a result, the industry's profit estimates were adjusted upwards several times. Against the backdrop of limited capacity expansions in the coming years, the stocks allocated to the fund in this segment therefore continue to appear promising.
