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
The relatively high short positions on the US futures market for grain contracts were further reduced over the course of May. As a result, the price of wheat in particular rose significantly. The unfavourable weather conditions in Russia, which are causing ongoing uncertainty with regard to wheat harvest volumes there, were a key factor in this development. However, the future expansion of Indian wheat demand on the world market will also be interesting in this context. The country used to be considered an important wheat exporter. However, the growing population could soon force India to import larger quantities of wheat itself. Accordingly, the government is currently considering a significant reduction in import duties on wheat. With a view to food security, India is likely to see much greater demand for agricultural goods at a global level in the foreseeable future than it has to date. Following the presidential elections, the country's fertiliser imports could also pick up again and compensate for the somewhat weaker demand from China. Last but not least, India's orders for grain silos and conveyor systems are also tending to increase. Against this backdrop, the portfolio stocks held in the Agricultural Equipment segment are also playing an increasingly important role in the necessary reduction of unnecessary food losses along the global logistics chains.
