LSEG Lipper: European fund performance review 2023

Hi Mikey and Voice!

Oh, hello, er ...

'Nsikan.'

Yeah, that's it.

Hello, Nsikan!

'Hello, Nsikan!'

Yeah, anyway ...

Happy New Year! Please see attached for the LSEG Lipper review of the best and worst performing Lipper global bond, equity and mixed-assets classifications in Europe for 2023.

Oh.

Detlef's review.

Well, let's do this first -

Bond HUF showed the best average performance (+24.85%) for bond products, while Bond TRY (-16.62%) showed the worst average performance for the year.

Equity Poland Small- and Mid-Cap showed the best average performance (+44.16%) for equity products, while Equity Russia (-19.37%) showed the worst average performance for the year.

Mixed Asset PLN Conservative showed the best average performance (+25.88%) for mixed-assets products, while Mixed Asset JPY Balanced (- 9.44%) showed the worst average performance for the year.

The development of the base currencies of the funds and ETFs compared to the euro had a large impact on the positions of the single classifications in the respective bond and mixed-assets league tables.

Thanks,

Nsikan
