This may result in an immediate decrease in the NAV per share and the capital of the Fund available for investment in the future and capital growth may be reduced, in particular for hedged share classes for which the distribution amount and NAV of any hedged share classes (HSC) may be adversely affected by differences in the interests rates of the reference currency of the HSC and the base currency of the Fund.
The Latest Strategies
Agentic artificial intelligence
The publication of Google’s paper on transform network architectures in 2017 kicked of the development of so-called large language models (LLMs), which form the basis of artificial intelligence (AI) models such as ChatGPT. This technique, combined with other approaches such as reinforced learning (RL), is now leading to an increasing number of AI-models, with a rapidly growing range of capabilities and areas of specialisation. These, in turn, are flowing into a various types of end user applications – these have been rolled out very quickly, but we have so far seen fairly limited adoption.
Created in China: Humanoid Robots
Over recent years, much of the media attention on China has been related to macro challenges – geopolitical conflicts, the weakness of the property sector and deflationary pressures. In our view, this focus has distracted investors from the rapid pace of development in China’s technology space.
Update on themes within Allianz Thematica
In response to the US election outcome, the Health Technology theme is being phased out due to the increase in regulatory uncertainties. However, we continue to see upside in a limited range of medical equipment companies that stand to benefit from technological innovations within the medical treatment segment and which therefore will find a place within the Intelligent Machines theme under the topic of Medtech Innovators.
