Morningstar
Morningstar is an independent provider of investment analysis. The Morningstar rating is a quantitative assessment of the past performance of a fund taking into account the risk and the costs charged. It does not take into account qualitative elements and is calculated on the basis of a (mathematical) formula. The funds are ranked by category and compared to similar funds, based on their score and receive one to five stars. In each category, the top 10% receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% 4 stars, the following 35% 3 stars, the next 22.5% 2 stars, and the last 10% receive 1 star. The rating is calculated monthly based on historical performance over 3, 5 and 10 years and does not take into account the future.

Morningstar Rating
Morningstar sustainability
Morningstar launched the Morningstar Sustainability Rating (MSR) to help investors consider Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) criteria when assessing their investments. Morningstar Sustainability globes are calculated using bottom-up assessments of the underlying securities of a portfolio, supported by the Sustainalytics methodology for assessing the ESG risk of companies and sovereigns. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating has several steps to accurately represent the relative risk within each portfolio. The result of the rating is a category of 1 to 5 “globes” for each eligible portfolio, indicating the fund’s ESG positioning relative to its peer group.

About this fund
Candriam Equities L Australia (hereafter "the fund"), a sub-fund of the Candriam Equities L sicav, invests predominantly in Australian equities, broadly diversified over economic sectors and debtor risks. The investment horizon is 6 years. The fund is managed actively, with reference to the index mentioned on the section "characteristics". For further information about this index and its use, please consult the fund’s key investor information document (KIID).
Principal assets traded:
Shares of companies whose registered offices and/or principal activities are in Australia.
Investment strategy:
The fund seeks to achieve capital growth by investing in the principal assets traded and to outperform the benchmark.
Within the limits of the fund’s investment objective and policy, the management team makes discretionary investment choices in the portfolio based on its analyses of the characteristics and growth prospects of the assets traded. The fund does not have sustainable investment as its objective and does not specifically promote environmental and/or social characteristics.
The fund may make use of derivative products for both investment and hedging purposes (to protect against future unfavourable financial events).
Benchmark:All Ordinaries (Gross Return).
The fund is managed actively and the investment approach implies a reference to a benchmark (the index).
Benchmark definition:
The index measures the performance of the 500 largest securities of the Australian equity market.
Use of the benchmark:
- as an investment universe. In general, the financial instruments of the sub-fund are mostly contained in the index. However, investments outside this index are authorised;
- in determining risk levels/parameters;
- for performance comparison purposes.
As the fund is managed actively, it does not aim to invest in each component of the index nor to invest in the same proportions as the components of the index. In normal market conditions, the expected tracking error of the fund will be moderate to large, namely between 2% and 6%. This measure is an estimation of the divergence of the fund’s performance compared to the performance of the benchmark. The greater the tracking error, the greater the deviations from the index. The actual tracking error depends in particular on market conditions (volatility and correlations between financial instruments) and may therefore differ from the expected tracking error.

Historical values graph
Candriam Equities L Australia I - Cap - AUD
This graph represents the synthetic net asset value of the fund. It is provided for information and illustrative purposes only. The synthetic net asset value is obtained by a recalculation of the values of the fund’s assets by leveling out the effect of securities transactions (split, coupon, dividend distribution...) in order to reflect the real performance of the fund share or unit. Data may be rounded for convenience. Data expressed in a currency other than that of the investor's country of residence is subject to exchange rate fluctuations, with a positive or negative impact. Gross performance may be impacted by commissions, fees and other expenses.

It can help you to assess how the fund has been managed in the past and compare it to its benchmark.
The index composition may change over time. The performance reported may therefore differ from the performance of the relevant index before its change. Performance is shown after deduction of ongoing charges. Any entry and exit charges are excluded from the calculation. Performances expressed in a currency other than that of the investor's country of residence are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, with a negative or positive impact on gains. If the present document refers to a specific tax treatment, such information depends on the individual situation of each investor and may change. If no performance is given for a year following the year of creation, this will be because there is not enough data to provide investors with a reliable indication of this performance. "

- Swing Pricing Description
-
Swing Pricing is a mechanism by which the net asset value is adjusted upwards (or downwards) if the change in liabilities is positive (or negative) in such a way as to reduce for existing investors the portfolio restructuring costs linked to subscription/ redemption movements in the fund. On valuation days where the difference between the amount of subscriptions and the amount of redemptions of a sub-fund (i.e. net transactions) exceeds a threshold set beforehand by the Board of Directors, the latter shall be entitled to:
- value the net asset value by adding to the assets (in the case of net subscriptions) or deducting from assets (at net redemptions) a fixed percentage of the fees corresponding to market practices and reflecting the fees and/or conditions of liquidity when buying or selling securities; - value the securities portfolio on the basis of bid or ask prices;
- assess the net asset value by setting a level of spreads representative of the relevant market;
- The dilution mechanism must not exceed 2% of the net asset value, except in exceptional circumstances, as in the event of a sharp decrease in liquidity, which would then be detailed for the sub-fund concerned in the annual (semi-) annual report of the SICAV.

- Definition
-
The summary risk indicator ("SRI") is an indicator with a rating ranging from 1 to 7 and corresponds to increasing levels of risk and return. The methodology for calculating this regulatory indicator is available in the KID.
The summary risk indicator ("SRI") is a guide to the level of risk of this product compared to other products.
It shows how likely it is that the product will lose money because of movements in the markets or because we are not able to pay you. - Main Risks
-
Concentration risk: This risk is related to a significant concentration of investments in a specific asset class or certain markets. The greater the diversification of the fund is, the lesser the concentration risk will be.
Derivative risk: Derivatives are investments whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying instrument, such as a security, asset, reference rate or index. Derivative strategies often involve leverage, which may exaggerate a loss, potentially causing the Sub-Fund to lose more money than it would have lost had it invested in the underlying instrument. Using derivatives may result in a higher portfolio volatility related to this underlying asset and an increase of the counterparty risk.
Equity Risk: Some funds may be exposed to equity market risk through direct investment (through transferable securities and/or derivative products), meaning submitted to the positive or negative evolution of stock exchanges. These evolutions can be huge and be mainly driven by expectations relative to macro-economy and company results, speculation and irrational factors (including trends, opinions or rumours).
Risk of loss of capital: Investors are advised that any capital they invest is not guaranteed and that they may therefore not receive back the full amount invested. They may thus suffer a loss.
Sustainability Risk: The sustainability risk refers to any environmental, social or governance event or condition that could affect the performance and / or the reputation of issuers in the portfolio. It may be issuer specific, in line with their activities and practices, but may also be due to external factors.
- Other Risks
-
Counterparty RiskWhen the fund carry out over-the-counter transactions (i.e. involving instruments not listed on the markets), they are exposed to a risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction.ESG Investment RiskESG investment risk refers to the risks arising from the inclusion of ESG factors in the management process, such as the exclusion of activities or issuers and the inclusion of sustainability risks in the selection and/or allocation of issuers in the portfolio.Liquidity risklt occurs when a portfolio position cannot be sold, liquidated or closed at a limited cost and within a sufficiently short time, which jeopardizing the fund's ability to comply at any time with its obligations to redeem the shares of investors at their request.
Risk and reward indicators 12/30/2022

FundBenchmark
-
Volatility
The Volatility is the statistical measure of dispersion of returns for a fund around the mean. A higher volatility means that a fund's value can potentially be spread out over a larger range of values and makes the fund a riskier investment. This indicator is based on weekly data over 3 Years (1 year if too little history).
-
20.37 %18.75 %
-
Tracking error
The Tracking Error is a statistical measure of dispersion of the excess returns of the fund around the mean, making it the volatility of the difference between the fund's return and its reference index return. A higher tracking error indicates a higher deviation from the reference index. This indicator is based on weekly data over 3 Years (1 year if too little history).
-
4.10 %
-
Sharpe Ratio
The Sharpe Ratio measures the level of compensation an investment in the fund offered for the risk taken. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the return of the fund and dividing that result by the volatility. The higher the Sharpe ratio the better, a negative ratio has no significance other than that the fund underperformed the risk-free rate. This indicator is based on weekly data over 3 Years (1 year if too little history).
-
0.400.04
-
Alpha
Alpha represents the performance of a fund relative to its reference index, it is often considered to represent the value that a portfolio manager adds to or subtracts from a fund's return. It is the return on a fund that is not a result of general movement in the greater market. This indicator is based on weekly data over 3 Years (1 year if too little history).
-
0.07
-
Beta
Beta measures the sensitivity of fund returns to changes in returns of its reference index. A beta greater than 1 indicates the fund is more volatile, thus more risky than the reference index.
