With its new international share fund ”Postbank Dynamik Vision”, Postbank is building on the stock exchange success of sustainable corporate concepts. The last few months have proven that these companies are more successful, their managements utilise environmentally friendly resources, are socially more involved and believe in an open information policy. This creates a competitive edge. As a result of the corrections to the international stock exchanges in 2000, these important shares are now very popular among investors.

Companies whose criteria correspond with sustainability will be more successful in the long-term. This is demonstrated by a comparison of the Dow Jones Global Index (DJGI) and the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index (DJSGI), which currently comprises 236 companies. Since December, 1993, the DJGI has increased by 108 percent. In contrast, the shares – which have been pooled in DJSGI since 1998 – have increased by 158 percent during the same period, achieving a considerably higher return.

With ”Postbank Dynamik Vision”, investors can now profit from this trend. This is supplemented by the active fund management by Deutsche Postbank Asset Management in Luxembourg: for this mutual fund, the preferred shares from the DJSGI are those of companies with financial substance and a successful business model and which have a proven market track record. Hence, the – by international comparison – very successful selection of DJSGI-listed shares experience additional fine-tuning by the fund management with the objective of ensuring an even better performance.
