Investment risks. Market risk exists simply by virtue of investing in any type of asset. Asset prices depend heavily on the performance of financial markets, as well as the economic conditions of the issuers. The fund's investments may involve equity risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, and geographic or sectoral concentration risk.
For complete fund information, you can consult the explanatory prospectus, the key investor information document and the latest periodic reports available on our website and on www.cnmv.es www.cnmv.es



Risk-adjusted returns

A 31 de Mayo 2025

Why is our investment objective return-risk and not just return?

We all want to earn as much as possible with the least risk. The only risk-free asset is the money we don't invest (liquidity). Risk is measured by volatility: the more an investment's value goes up and down, the greater the risk of losing money and the longer it may take to recover it. Furthermore, when losses are large, it is more likely to sell at the worst time, because people have a hard time accepting losses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fund should I choose?

Cartesio only offers two funds. Cartesio X is the more conservative fund, with less volatility and probably lower long-term returns. Cartesio Y is a moderate/high risk fund that has offered higher returns in the past but with greater volatility.

Why does Cartesio only offer two funds when my bank offers dozens or hundreds?

Although we could manage more funds, we only manage two strategies to incentivize ourselves to manage them as best as possible. If the funds performed poorly, we would have no other product to offer, and this incentivizes us to give our best to try to make them perform well. Furthermore, being flexible strategies, it is the managers who can change the risk level of the funds according to market circumstances, avoiding the client having to change from one fund to another. In contrast, many entities have a very wide range of funds to continue offering other funds when investments go wrong or, in effect, leaving it to the client to change funds (probably with poor timing) when market circumstances change.

What management fees are there and how do I pay them?

The funds pay management fees to the management company and custody fees to the depositary. They are charged directly to the fund and not to the client who does not have to pay anything although, logically, they indirectly bear these expenses.. On the other hand, there are no subscription or redemption fees, so clients can buy and sell their shares whenever they wish at no cost. The applicable fees are detailed on each fund's page.

What are management fees?

The Management Company charges a fixed annual management fee, which is a fixed percentage of the fund's assets, and a performance fee (variable) which is a percentage of the positive returns obtained in the calendar year. Both fees are calculated daily and are deducted to arrive at the fund's net asset value. If the returns obtained in the year are negative, no performance fee is charged, and it only begins to accrue again when the fund recovers the losses. If five years pass without recovering the losses, performance fees could start accruing again for positive returns obtained from the sixth year onwards.

Is there a subscription or redemption fee?

There are no subscription or redemption fees, so clients can buy and sell their fund units whenever they wish at no cost. However, it is only advisable to invest in Cartesio funds in the medium or long term.

Are there minimum holding periods?

No. Dado que no existen comisiones de suscripción ni de reembolso los clientes pueden comprar y vender sus participaciones cuando deseen sin ningún coste. No obstante, sólo es recomendable invertir en los fondos Cartesio a medio o largo plazo

Why is there a recommended minimum holding period?

The recommended minimum holding period is a reasonable time in which investors are expected to be able to take advantage of the fund's return potential, as financial markets can experience short-term fluctuations. This minimum holding period mitigates loss risks and fosters obtaining positive returns.

Can I lose money by investing in Cartesio?

Yes. The funds invest in assets listed on financial markets whose price is subject to fluctuation. Although historically, to date, the funds have always had positive returns within the recommended investment periods, it cannot be ruled out that losses may occur in the short term (which is frequent in financial markets) or even in the medium term. In the long term, losses are unlikely, but this cannot be guaranteed. It is important to be clear that, just as with gains, losses do not become effective until your holding in the fund is sold, so a temporary loss in the value of your investment will not become a real loss if you do not sell your holding in the fund.

When can I buy or sell the fund?

Cuando quieras porque todos los días hábiles se publica el valor liquidativo. No hay ningún tipo de comisión de suscripción ni de reembolso ni tampoco periodos mínimos de permanencia aunque es sólo recomendable invertir a medio o largo plazo.
