WSP commentary

Investment rationale
TBF SMART POWER EUR R is a global equity UCITS fund designed to deliver capital growth in euro by investing across the energy infrastructure value chain, especially smart grids, power management and energy efficiency. With a summary risk indicator of 4 out of 7 and a recommended holding period of 5 years, it is positioned for investors who want long-term wealth accumulation or optimisation and can tolerate price fluctuations and significant losses. Its thematic focus on intelligent power networks, LNG infrastructure and renewables makes it a distinct, specialised exposure rather than a broad market allocation. Based on its concentrated sector orientation and benchmark-independent active management, it fits more naturally as a satellite allocation within an equity portfolio.
Investment strategy
The fund’s stated objective is to achieve attractive capital growth in euro while seeking returns at an appropriate level of risk. It invests primarily in international listed companies whose revenues or profits, according to their latest annual report, come from smart grids, power management, energy efficiency and related suppliers; it may also hold equities and equity-like securities, other securities such as bonds, bank deposits, money market instruments, units in other investment funds, derivatives and cash. The portfolio is predominantly invested in equities, with current allocation focused on infrastructure build-out, efficiency/automation, wind, utilities, storage and solar, and it can use derivatives, especially index derivatives, for hedging, efficient portfolio management and additional return, including speculative purposes. The fund is actively managed, does not track an index, does not use a benchmark or reference value, distributes income, and has a recommended holding period of 5 years.
Investment philosophy
• The fund uses an active, benchmark-independent investment process focused on international listed companies involved in intelligent power grids, transmission and distribution, power management, LNG infrastructure, energy efficiency, renewables and related suppliers.
• Security selection is based on an established process using database analysis, company reports, economic forecasts, public information and personal impressions and conversations; purchase and sale decisions are made under legal and fund rules and include risk considerations.
• ESG criteria are integrated throughout the investment process, and the fund is classified under SFDR Article 8 as promoting environmental and/or social characteristics.
• Current positioning is concentrated in infrastructure build-out (69.0%) and efficiency/automation (12.8%), with top holdings including Hitachi, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Siemens Energy, Quanta Services, Fujikura, GE Vernova, Furukawa Electric, Vertiv, Prysmian and Vestas Wind Systems.
• Region and currency exposure are led by the US and Japan, with country weights of 41.2% and 25.2% respectively, and currency exposure of 41.2% US dollar, 25.2% Japanese yen and 22.4% euro; liquidity stood at 3.2%, and derivatives may be used for hedging, efficient portfolio management and additional return.
Management team
The documents name no individual portfolio managers. The manager commentary is attributed only to “Team der TBF” as of 31.08.2026. The investment manager named for the fund is TBF Global Asset Management GmbH.
The asset manager
The management company is HANSAINVEST Hanseatische Investment-GmbH, based in Hamburg, and the investment manager is TBF Global Asset Management GmbH, based in Singen. The documents state that HANSAINVEST belongs to the SIGNAL IDUNA Group. The fund is a German-domiciled UCITS public investment fund, and the custodian is DONNER & REUSCHEL Aktiengesellschaft, Hamburg. Total fund assets are stated at EUR 1,134.18 million for the fund as a whole across share classes.
Performance analysis
Source: manager factsheet dated 31 August 2026. The team highlights energy supply as the key bottleneck in data-centre expansion, citing BloombergNEF research indicating that chips are no longer the supply constraint and may even move into oversupply; this is presented as reinforcing the fund’s investment thesis. In response to portfolio views, the segment of operators and utilities is being strategically reduced and concentrated into fewer names operating in faster-growing regions. During August, the fund fully exited Enel, TC Energy, Enbridge and Hydro One, and added Caterpillar, noting its offering of small turbines below 39 MW and backup power solutions.
Strengths
The fund is distinguished by its explicit focus on the full energy infrastructure and industry value chain, spanning smart grids, transmission and distribution, power management, LNG infrastructure, energy efficiency and renewables. It combines this thematic specialisation with active, benchmark-independent stock selection and ESG integration across the whole investment process under SFDR Article 8. The current portfolio shows a clear implementation of that theme, with large allocations to infrastructure build-out and automation and with leading positions in industrial and electrical equipment names across the US, Japan and Europe. The fund is available as a distributing share class in euro and remains largely invested, with an investition degree of 96.83% and a 3.2% cash allocation.
Risks
The fund is classified in risk class 4 on a 1 to 7 scale, which the documents describe as a medium risk category, with a 5-year holding assumption behind the indicator. The named risks include equity market volatility and the possibility of losses up to total loss, foreign-exchange risk from non-euro assets, and liquidity risk where securities may only be sold with significant price discounts in tight markets. The documents also state that derivatives may be used for hedging, efficient portfolio management and speculative purposes, which can increase loss risk and volatility compared with investing without derivatives; counterparty, custody, liquidity and operational risks are also referenced in the PRIIP. The portfolio’s structure adds specific risk through its thematic concentration in energy infrastructure-related sectors and its substantial exposure to the US dollar and Japanese yen.
