                              Dear Readers

                              Equity markets across the board got off to a strong start in the second year
                              under the influence of the coronavirus. Taking risks paid off insofar as the
                              decline in bond performance was overcompensated by equity returns. The
                              first-quarter returns of our strategy funds were correspondingly high: the
                              higher the equity exposure, the higher the return. In Swiss Francs: Fixed
                              Income: –0.5 %, Conservative: 0.3 %, Yield: 1.4 %, Balanced: 3.2 %. The
                              returns in Euros exhibit the same structure and are almost identical for once.

                              In local currency, all bond markets exhibited negative performance: Swit-
                              zerland: –1.2 %, Eurozone: –0.2 %, United States: –4.6 %. Among equity
                              markets, Europe is in the lead at 8.4 %, followed by the US at 5.6 % and Swit-
                              zerland at 5.2 %. In the niche markets, convertible bonds achieved a positive
                              performance of 2.3 %, along with commodities at 6.9 % and global real estate
                              equities at 6.0 %. As expected, gold was unable to make gains in this envi-
                              ronment, closing the first quarter at –9.6 %. The Swiss Franc weakened
                              against the major currencies (–2.3 % against the Euro and –6.4 % against
                              the US Dollar).

                              Despite the recent price drops, we are maintaining our underweighting of
                              investment grade bonds in our asset allocation. We are rebalancing our
                              equity exposures for developed markets and emerging markets, with a slight
                              overweighting of real estate equities. In our current investment outlook in

nearly identical.

Comprehensive investment approach

only in companies which take into account the three ESG

fees entirely, making the funds significantly cheaper. This
means clients receive professionally, actively managed and

those of passive ETFs. The low fees also have a positive
impact on the longer-term performance of the funds.

Performance fees for selected LLB strategy funds
Alongside the existing performance fee in asset manage-
ment, the LLB is one of the first banks in Europe to employ a
performance fee for selected LLB strategy funds. In addition
to a fixed basic fee of 0.25 % p.a., a share of one tenth of
positive net performance up to a maximum of 1.25 % is
charged (see figure). Investors pay this variable fee share
only if the fund assets develop positively after all costs are
deducted.
