PARVEST
BOOK I OF THE PROSPECTUS GENERAL PROVISIONS
PARVEST is an open-ended investment company (socit dinvestissement capital variable abbreviated to SICAV), incorporated under Luxembourg law on 27 March 1990 for an indefinite period. The Company is currently governed by the provisions of Part I of the Law of 17 December 2010 governing undertakings for collective investment as well as by Directive 2009/65. The Companys capital is expressed in euros (EUR) and is at all times equal to the total net assets of the various sub-funds. It is represented by fully paid-up shares issued without a designated par value, described below under The Shares. The capital varies automatically without the notification and specific recording measures required for increases and decreases in the capital of limited companies. Its minimum capital is defined by the Law. The Company is registered in the Luxembourg Trade Register under the number B 33 363. The Company is an umbrella fund, which comprises multiple sub-funds, each with distinct assets and liabilities of the Company. Each sub-fund shall have an investment policy and a reference currency that shall be specific to it as determined by the Board of Directors. The Company is a single legal entity. In accordance with Article 181 of the Law: the rights of shareholders and creditors in relation to a sub-fund or arising from the constitution, operation or liquidation of a subfund are limited to the assets of that sub-fund; the assets of a sub-fund are the exclusive property of shareholders in that sub-fund and of creditors where the credit arises from the constitution, operation or liquidation of the sub-fund; in relations between shareholders, each sub-fund is treated as a separate entity. The Board of Directors may at any time create new sub-funds, investment policy and offering methods of which will be communicated at the appropriate time by an update to the Prospectus. Shareholders may also be informed via press publications if required by regulations or if deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. Similarly, the Board of Directors may close sub-funds, in accordance with the provisions of Appendix 5.

Tax consequences The Guarantee is compliant with applicable laws and regulations in force in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg at the STEP sub-fund launch date. Regulation changes (or their interpretation by the courts and/or the Luxembourg tax authorities), whether or not retroactive, after the launch date of the STEP sub-fund, may generate directly or indirectly subsequent expenses and/or income cut. In such case the Guarantor may reduce the sums owed under the Guarantee in proportion of the net asset value drop in relation to this new tax environment. The Management Company shall notify the shareholders of the STEP sub-fund in case of a change in the applicable tax regulation which would have a consequence on the Guarantee. Moreover, the Guarantee may not be implemented in case of a change in the applicable tax regulation (or the interpretation of the regulation) which would change the tax amounts and/or any other contributions to be paid by any individual shareholder who would have asked for the redemption of its shares. Guarantor payment Guarantor remuneration is part of the fees paid to the Management Company. Specific features for each STEP sub-fund will be detailed in Book II.

(1) Uncertificated (2) Subscription fee excluded, if any (3) At the discretion of the Board of Directors Classic MD: pays dividend on a monthly basis Currency Hedged categories In some sub-funds, hedged categories may be created. These categories are distinguished by hedging their currency exchange risks against the accounting currency of the sub-fund. In the event of changes in the value of the portfolio or of subscriptions and redemptions, hedging will be operated to the extent possible within specific bandwidths (should those limits not be respected from time to time, hedging readjustment will be operated). The exchange risk is thus partially maintained because this hedging cannot take into account the currency exposure of all underlying investments of the sub-fund concerned. The currency of these categories appears in their denomination (for example, "Classic H EUR" for a category hedged in EUR and the accounting currency of the sub-fund is USD). The characteristics of these categories are identical to those of the same non hedged categories existing in the same sub-fund. If the assets of one of these categories in any sub-fund fall below one million euros or equivalent, the Board of Directors reserves the right to close the category and merge it with the same non hedged category of the same sub-fund. Mono-Currency categories The Board of Directors may offer categories that are issued and valued in a single currency. The currency a given category is issued and valued in is indicated by the denomination of the category (for example Classic USD for a category issued and valued only in USD). General provision available for all categories The Board of Directors may also decide at any time to split or consolidate the shares issued within one same sub-fund, category, or class into a number of shares determined by the Board itself. The total net asset value of such shares must be equal to the net asset value of the subdivided/consolidated shares existing at the time of the splitting/consolidation event. Before subscribing, the investor should check in Book II which categories and classes are available for each sub-fund. If it transpires that shares are held by persons other than those authorised, they will be converted to the appropriate category. Bearer shares New bearer shares are issued in dematerialised form. Bearer share certificates issued in the past shall remain valid until the redemption of the respective shares. Shares relative to lost, damaged, or expired certificates shall be replaced by dematerialised bearer shares. Registered shares The register of shareholders is kept in Luxembourg by the registrar indicated above in General Information. Unless otherwise specified, shareholders whose shares are held in registered form will not receive a certificate representing their shares. Instead, they will be sent confirmation of their entry in the register. The shares must be fully paid-up and are issued without a par value. Unless otherwise indicated, there is no limitation on their number. The rights attached to the shares are those described in the law of 10 August 1915, unless exempted by the Law. Fractions of shares may be issued up to one-thousandth of a share. All the Companys whole shares, whatever their value, have equal voting rights. The shares of each sub-fund, category, or class have an equal right to the liquidation proceeds of the sub-fund, category, or class. If no specific information is given by the investor, orders received will be processed in the reference currency of the category. Before subscription, investors are invited to seek information on the opening of the categories, their currencies and the subfunds in which they are open. DIVIDENDS
16 / 404
Capitalisation shares retain their income to reinvest it. The general meeting of shareholders holding distribution shares for each sub-fund concerned decides each year on the Board of Directors proposal to pay a dividend, which is calculated in accordance with the limitations defined by law and the Articles of Association. In this respect, the general meeting reserves the right to distribute the net assets of each of the Companys sub-funds up to the limit of the legal minimum capital. The nature of the distribution (net investment income or capital) will be mentioned in the Companys Financial Statements. If, given market conditions, it is in the shareholders interest not to distribute a dividend, then no such distribution will be carried out. If it deems it advisable, the Board of Directors may decide to distribute interim dividends. The Board of Directors determines the payment methods for the dividends and interim dividends that have been decided upon. Dividends will, in principle, be paid in the reference currency of the class (exchange costs incurred for payments in different currencies will be borne by the investor). Declared dividends and interim dividends not collected by shareholders within a period of five years from the payment date will lapse and revert to the sub-fund concerned. Interest will not be paid on declared and unclaimed dividends or interim dividends, which will be held by the Company on behalf of the shareholders of the sub-fund for the duration of the legal limitation period.
17 / 404
SUBSCRIPTION, CONVERSION AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES The shares of the Company may be locally offered for subscription via regular savings plans, redemption and conversion programs, specific to this local supply, and may be subject to additional charges. In the event that a regular savings plan is terminated prior to the agreed final date, the sum of subscription fees payable by the shareholders concerned may be greater than would have been the case for standard subscriptions. Investors may be required to appoint a paying agent as nominee (the Nominee) for all actions connected with their shareholding in the Company. On the basis of this mandate, the Nominee is specifically required to: send requests for subscription, redemption and conversion, grouped by share category, share class, sub-fund and distributor to the Company; be listed on the Companys register in its name on behalf of a third party; and exercise the investors voting right (if any), according to the investors instructions. The Nominee must make every effort to keep an up-to-date electronic list of investors names and addresses and the number of shares held; the status of shareholder can be verified via the confirmation letter sent to the investor by the Nominee. Investors are informed that they may be required to pay additional fees for the activity of the above Nominee. For further details, investors are invited to read the subscription documents available from their usual distributor. Preliminary Information Subscriptions, conversions and redemptions of shares are made with reference to their unknown net asset value (NAV). They may concern a number of shares or an amount. The Board of Directors reserves the right to: (a) refuse a subscription, or conversion request for any reason whatsoever in whole or in part; (b) redeem, at any time, shares held by persons who are not authorised to buy or hold the Companys shares; (c) reject subscription, conversion or redemption requests from any investor who it suspects of using practices associated with Market Timing and Active Trading, and, where applicable, take necessary measures to protect the other investors in the Company, notably by charging an additional redemption fee up to 2% of the order amount, to be retained by the sub-fund. The Board of Directors is authorised to set minimum amounts for subscription, conversion, redemption and holding. Subscriptions from entities which submit subscription applications and whose names show that they belong to one and the same group, or which have one central decision-making body, will be grouped together to calculate these minimum subscription amounts. Should a share redemption or conversion request, a merger/splitting procedure, or any other event, have the effect of reducing the number or the total net book value of the shares held by a shareholder to below the number or value decided upon by the Board of Directors, the Company may redeem all the shares. In certain cases stipulated in the section on suspension of the calculation of the NAV, the Board of Directors is authorised to temporarily suspend the issue, conversion and redemption of shares and the calculation of their net asset value. In connection with anti-money laundering procedures, the subscription form must be accompanied, in the case of an individual, by the identity card or passport of the subscriber, authenticated by a competent authority (for example, an embassy, consulate, notary, police superintendent) or by a financial institution subject to equivalent identification standards to those applicable in Luxembourg or the Articles of Association; and by an extract from the trade and companies register for a legal entity, in the following cases: 1. direct subscription to the Company; 2. subscription through a professional financial sector intermediary resident in a country that is not subject to an obligation for identification equivalent to Luxembourg standards as regards preventing the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering; 3. subscription through a subsidiary or branch office, the parent company of which would be subject to an obligation for identification equivalent to that required under Luxembourg law, if the law applicable to the parent company does not oblige it to ensure that its subsidiaries or branch offices adhere to these provisions. The Company is also bound to identify the source of funds if they come from financial institutions that are not subject to an obligation for identification equivalent to those required under Luxembourg law. Subscriptions may be temporarily frozen pending identification of the source of the funds. It is generally accepted that finance sector professionals resident in countries that have signed up to the conclusions of the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) on money laundering are deemed to have an obligation for identification equivalent to that required under Luxembourg law. Processing of Personal Information In submitting a subscription request, the investor authorises the Company to store and utilise all of the confidential information that it may acquire on the investor with a view to managing its account or their business relationship. To the extent that this usage so requires, the investor also authorises the sharing of this information with different service providers of the Company. It is to be noted that some service providers established outside of the European Union may be subject to less stringent rules on the safeguarding of information. The information may be used for purposes of filing, order processing, responding to shareholder requests, and providing them with information on other Company products and services. Neither the Company nor its Management Company will disclose confidential information on shareholders unless required to do so by specific regulations. Subscriptions The shares will be issued at a price corresponding to the net asset value per share plus the subscription fee as described in Book II. For an order to be executed at the net asset value on a given valuation day, it must be received by the Company before the time and date specified in the detailed conditions for each sub-fund in Book II. Orders received after this deadline will be processed at the net asset value on the next valuation day. In order to be accepted by the Company, the order must include all necessary information relating to the identification of the subscribed shares and the identity of the subscriber as described above. Unless otherwise specified for a particular sub-fund, the subscription price of each share is payable in one of the valuation currencies of the shares concerned within the time period defined in Book II, increased, where necessary, by the applicable subscription fee. At the shareholder's request, the payment may be made in a currency other than one of the valuation currencies. The exchange expenses will then be borne by the shareholder. The Company reserves the right to postpone, and/or cancel subscription requests if it is not certain that the appropriate payment will reach the Depositary within the required payment time or if the order is incomplete.The Board of Directors or its agent may process the
18 / 404
request by applying an additional charge to reflect interest owed at the customary market rates; or cancelling the share allotment, as applicable accompanied by a request for compensation for any loss owing to failure to make payment before the stipulated time limit. The shares will not be assigned until the duly completed subscription request has been received accompanied by the payment or a document irrevocably guaranteeing that the payment will be made before the deadline. The Company cannot be held responsible for the delayed processing of incomplete orders. Any outstanding balance remaining after subscription will be reimbursed to the shareholder, unless the amount is less than EUR 15 or its currency equivalent, as the case may be. Amounts thus not reimbursed will be retained by the relevant sub-fund. The Board of Directors may accept the issue of shares in exchange for the contribution in kind of transferable securities, in accordance with the conditions defined by Luxembourg Law, in particular with respect to the obligation for the submission of a valuation report by the Auditor mentioned under General Information above, and provided that these transferable securities meet the Companys investment policy and restrictions for the sub-fund concerned as described in Book II. Unless otherwise specified, the costs of such a transaction will be borne by the applicant. Conversions Without prejudice to the specific provisions of a sub-fund, category, or class, shareholders may request the conversion of some or all of their shares into shares of another sub-fund, category, or class. The number of newly issued shares and the costs arising from the transaction are calculated in accordance with the formula described below. Conversions are only permitted between the following categories: To From Classic Classic MD Classic H I IH Privilege Privilege H N X Classic Classic MD Classic H Yes Yes Yes No Yes Yes Yes No Yes I IH Yes Yes Yes Yes No Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No No Yes Privilege Privilege H N X
For a conversion order to be executed at the net asset value on a given valuation day, it must be received by the Company before the time and date specified for each sub-fund in Book II. Orders received after this deadline will be processed at the net asset value on the next valuation day. Conversion requests for bearer shares can only be processed if accompanied by representative securities, if applicable, with unexpired coupons attached. Conversion Formula The number of shares allocated to a new sub-fund, category or class will be established according to the following formula: A=BxCxE D A B C D E being the number of shares to be allocated in the new sub-fund; being the number of shares of the original sub-fund to be converted; being the prevailing net asset value per share of the original sub-fund on the relevant Valuation Day; being the prevailing net asset value per share of the new sub-fund on the relevant Valuation Day; and being the exchange rate applicable at the time of the transaction between the currencies of the two concerned subfunds
Investors will be charged for any foreign exchange transactions carried out at their request. In the case of shares held in account (with or without attribution of fractions of shares), any outstanding balance remaining after conversion will be reimbursed to the shareholder, unless the amount is less than EUR 15 or its currency equivalent, as the case may be. Amounts thus not reimbursed will be deemed belonging to the relevant sub-fund. Redemptions Subject to the exceptions and limitations prescribed in the Prospectus, all shareholders are entitled, at any time, to have their shares redeemed by the Company. For an order to be executed at the net asset value on a given valuation day, it must be received by the Company before the time and date specified in the conditions for each sub-fund in Book II. Orders received after this deadline will be processed at the net asset value on the next valuation day.
19 / 404
In order to be accepted by the Company, the order must include all necessary information relating to the identification of the shares in question and the identity of the shareholder as described above. Unless otherwise specified for a particular sub-fund, the redemption amount for each share will be reimbursed in the subscription currency, less, where necessary, the applicable redemption fee. At the shareholders request, the payment may be made in a currency other than the subscription currency of the redeemed shares, in which case the exchange costs will be borne by the shareholder and charged against the redemption price. The redemption price of shares may be higher or lower than the price paid at the time of subscription (or conversion), depending on whether the net asset value has appreciated or depreciated in the interval. The redemption proceeds will only be paid when the Depositary has received the bearer securities representing the redeemed shares, with unexpired coupons attached, or a guarantee from an independent depositary of the forthcoming delivery of the securities. The Company reserves the right to postpone redemption requests if the order is incomplete. The Company cannot be held responsible for the delayed processing of incomplete orders. Redemptions in kind are possible upon specific approval of the Board of Directors, provided that the remaining shareholders are not prejudiced and that a valuation report is produced by the Companys Auditor. The type and kind of assets that may be transferred in such cases will be determined by the manager, taking into account the investment policy and restrictions of the sub-fund in question. The costs of such transfers may be borne by the applicant. In the event that the total net redemption/conversion applications received for a given sub-fund on a Valuation Day equals or exceeds 10%* of the net assets of the sub-fund in question, the Board of Directors may decide to reduce and/or defer the redemption/conversion applications on a pro-rata basis so as to reduce the number of shares redeemed/converted to date to 10%* of the net assets of the subfund concerned. Any redemption/conversion applications deferred shall be given in priority in relation to redemption/conversion applications received on the next Valuation Day, again subject to the limit of 10%* of net assets. * 5% for the Equity Japan Small Cap sub-fund. In the case of shares held in account (with or without attribution of fractions of shares), any outstanding balance remaining after redemption will be reimbursed to the shareholder, unless the amount is less than EUR 15 or its currency equivalent, as the case may be. Amounts thus not reimbursed will be deemed belonging to the relevant sub-fund. Stock exchange listing By decision of the Board of Directors, the shares of the sub-funds and categories of the Company may be admitted to official listing on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and/or as applicable on another securities exchange.

(6) If permitted by market practice, liquid assets, money market instruments and all other instruments may be valued at their nominal value plus accrued interest or according to the linear amortisation method. Any decision to value the assets in the portfolio using the linear amortisation method must be approved by the Board of Directors, which will record the reasons for such a decision. The Board of Directors will put in place appropriate checks and controls concerning the valuation of the instruments; (7) the Board of Directors is authorised to draw up or amend the rules in respect of the relevant valuation rates. Decisions taken in this respect shall be included in the Book II; (8) IRS shall be valued on the basis of the difference between the value of all future interest payable by the Company to its counterparty on the valuation date at the zero coupon swap rate corresponding to the maturity of these payments and the value of all future interest payable by the counterparty to the Company on the valuation date at the zero coupon swap rate corresponding to the maturity of these payments; (9) the internal valuation model for CDS utilises as inputs the CDS rate curve, the recovery rate and a discount rate (LIBOR or market swap rate) to calculate the mark-to-market. This internal model also produces the rate curve for default probabilities. To establish the CDS rate curve, data from a certain number of counterparties active in the CDS market are used. The manager uses the valuation of the counterparties CDS to compare them with the values obtained from the internal model. The starting point for the construction of the internal model is parity between the variable portion and fixed portion of the CDS on signing the CDS. (10)since EDS are triggered by an event affecting a share, their valuation depends mainly on the volatility of the share and its asymmetrical position. The higher the volatility, the greater the risk that the share will reach the 70% threshold and therefore the greater the EDS spread. The spread of a companys CDS also reflects its volatility, since high volatility of the share indicates high volatility of the assets of the company in question and therefore a high probability of a credit event. Given that the spreads of both EDS and CDS are correlated with the implicit volatility of the shares, and that these relations have a tendency to remain stable over time, an EDS can be considered as a proxy for a CDS. The key point in the valuation of an EDS is to calculate the implicit probability of a share event. Two methods are generally accepted: the first consists of using the market spread of the CDS as input in a model to evaluate the EDS; the second uses historical data for the share in question to estimate the probability. Although historical data are not necessarily a proper guide as to what may happen in the future, such data can reflect the general behaviour of a share in crisis situation. In comparing the two approaches, it is very rare to see historic probabilities higher than the shares implicit probabilities; (11)the valuation of a CFD and TRS shall at any given time reflect the difference between the latest known price of the underlying stock and the valuation that was taken into account when the transaction was signed. COMPOSITION OF LIABILITIES The Companys liabilities primarily include: (1) all loans, matured bills and accounts payable; (2) all known liabilities, whether or not due, including all contractual obligations due and relating to payment in cash or kind, including the amount of dividends announced by the Company but yet to be paid; (3) all reserves, authorised or approved by the Board of Directors, including reserves set up in order to cover a potential capital loss on certain of the Companys investments; (4) any other undertakings given by the Company, except for those represented by the Companys equity. For the valuation of the amount of these liabilities, the Company shall take account of all the charges for which it is liable, including, without restriction, the costs of amendments to the Articles of Association, the Prospectus and any other document relating to the Company, management, performance and other fees and extraordinary expenses, any taxes and duties payable to government departments and stock exchanges, the costs of financial charges, bank charges or brokerage incurred upon the purchase and sale of assets or otherwise. When assessing the amount of these liabilities, the Company shall take account of regular and periodic administrative and other expenses on a prorata temporis basis. The assets, liabilities, expenses and fees not allocated to a sub-fund, category or class shall be apportioned to the various sub-funds, categories, or classes in equal parts or, subject to the amounts involved justifying this, proportionally to their respective net assets. Each of the Companys shares which is in the process of being redeemed shall be considered as a share issued and existing until closure on the Valuation Day relating to the redemption of such share and its price shall be considered as a liability of the Company as from closing on the date in question until such time as the price has been duly paid. Each share to be issued by the Company in accordance with subscription applications received shall be considered as being an amount due to the Company until such time as it has been duly received by the Company. As far as possible, account shall be taken of any investment or disvestment decided by the Company until the Valuation Day. SUSPENSION OF THE CALCULATION OF NET ASSET VALUE AND THE ISSUE, CONVERSION AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES Without prejudice to legal causes for suspension, the Board of Directors may at any time temporarily suspend the calculation of the net asset value of shares of one or more sub-funds, as well as the issue, conversion and redemption in the following cases: (a) during any period when one or more currency markets, or a stock exchange, which are the main markets or exchanges where a substantial portion of a sub-funds investments at a given time are listed, is/are closed, except for normal closing days, or during which trading is subject to major restrictions or is suspended; (b) when the political, economic, military, currency, social situation, or any event of force majeure beyond the responsibility or power of the Company makes it impossible to dispose of one assets by reasonable and normal means, without seriously harming the shareholders interests; (c) during any failure in the means of communication normally used to determine the price of any of the Companys investments or the going prices on a particular market or exchange; (d) when restrictions on foreign exchange or transfer of capital prevents transactions from being carried out on behalf of the Company or when purchases or sales of the Companys assets cannot be carried out at normal exchange rates; (e) as soon as a decision has been taken to either liquidate the Company or one or more sub-funds, categories or classes; (f) to determine an exchange parity under a merger, partial business transfer, splitting or any restructuring operation within, by or in one or more sub-funds, categories, or classes (g) for a Feeder sub-fund, when the net asset value, issue, conversion, or redemption of units, or shares of the Master sub-fund are suspended; (h) any other cases when the Board of Directors estimates by a justified decision that such a suspension is necessary to safeguard the general interests of the shareholders concerned. In the event the calculation of the net asset value is suspended, the Company shall immediately and in an appropriate manner inform the shareholders who requested the subscription, conversion or redemption of the shares of the sub-fund(s) in question.
22 / 404
In exceptional circumstances which could have a negative impact on shareholders interests, or in the event of subscription, redemption or conversion applications exceeding 10%* of a sub-funds net assets, the Board of Directors reserves the right not to determine the value of a share until such time as the required purchases and sales of securities have been made on behalf of the sub-fund. In that event, subscription, redemption and conversion applications in the pipeline will be processed simultaneously on the basis of the net asset value so calculated. *5% for the Equity Japan Small Cap sub-fund Pending subscription, conversion and redemption applications may be withdrawn by written notification provided that such notification is received by the company prior to lifting of the suspension. Pending applications will be taken into account on the first calculation date following lifting of the suspension. If all pending applications cannot be processed on the same calculation date, the earliest applications shall take precedence over more recent applications. SWING PRICING In certain market conditions, taking account of the volume of purchase and sale transactions in a given sub-fund, category, or class and the size of these transactions, the Board of Directors may consider that it is in the interest of shareholders to calculate the NAV per share based on the purchase and sale prices of the assets and/or by applying an estimate of the difference between the buy and sell prices applicable on the markets on which the assets are traded. The Board of Directors may further adjust the NAV for transaction fees and sales commissions, provided these fees and commissions do not exceed 1% of the NAV of the sub-fund, category, or class at that time.

TAX PROVISIONS
TAXATION OF THE COMPANY At the date of the Prospectus, the Company is not liable to any Luxembourg income tax or capital gains tax. The Company is liable to an annual taxe dabonnement in Luxembourg representing 0.05% of the net asset value. This rate is reduced to 0.01% for: a) sub-funds with the exclusive objective of collective investments in money market instruments and deposits with credit institutions; b) sub-funds with the exclusive objective of collective investments with credit institutions; c) sub-funds, categories, or classes reserved for Institutional Investors, Managers, and UCIs. The following are exempt from this taxe dabonnement: a) the value of assets represented by units, or shares in other UCIs, provided that these units or shares have already been subject to the taxe dabonnement; b) sub-funds, categories and/or classes: (i) whose securities are reserved to Institutional Investors, Managers or UCIs and (ii) whose sole object is the collective investment in money market instruments and the placing of deposits with credit institutions, and (iii) whose weighted residual portfolio maturity does not exceed 90 days, and (iv) that have obtained the highest possible rating from a recognised rating agency; c) sub-funds, categories and/or classes reserved to: (i) institutions for occupational retirement pension or similar investment vehicles, set up at the initiative of one or more employers for the benefit of their employees, and (ii) companies having one or more employers investing funds to provide pension benefits to their employees; d) sub-funds whose main objective is investment in microfinance institutions; e) sub-funds, categories and/or classes: (i) whose securities are listed or traded on at least one stock exchange or another regulated market operating regularly that is recognized and open to the public, and (ii) whose exclusive object is to replicate the performance of one or several indices. When due, the taxe dabonnement is payable quarterly based on the relevant net assets and calculated at the end of the quarter for which it is applicable. In addition, the Company may be subject to foreign UCIs tax, and/or other regulators levy, in the country where the sub-fund is registered for distribution. TAXATION OF THE COMPANYS INVESTMENTS Some of the Companys portfolio income, especially income in dividends and interest, as well as certain capital gains, may be subject to tax at various rates and of different types in the countries in which they are generated. This income and capital gains may also be subject to withholding tax. Under certain circumstances, the Company may not be eligible for the international agreements preventing double taxation that exist between the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and other countries. Some countries will only consider that persons taxable in Luxembourg qualify under these agreements. TAXATION OF SHAREHOLDERS a) Residents of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg On the date of the Prospectus, the dividends earned and capital gains made on the sale of shares by residents of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are not subject to withholding tax. Dividends are taxable at the base rate. Capital gains made on the sale of shares are not subject to income tax if the shares are held for a period of over six months, except in the case of resident shareholders holding over 10% of the shares of the Company. b) Non-residents In principle, according to current law and in the event that the provisions of Directive 2003/48 as specified in item c) below do not apply: the dividends earned and the capital gains made on the sale of shares by non-residents are not subject to withholding tax; the capital gains made by non-residents on the sale of shares are not subject to Luxembourg income tax. Nevertheless, if there is a dual tax convention between the Grand Duchy and the shareholder's country of residence, the capital gains made on the sale of shares are tax-exempt in principle in Luxembourg, with the taxation authority being attributed to the shareholder's country of residence. c) Residents of another member state of the European Union, including the French overseas departments, the Azores, Madeira, the Canary Islands, the land Islands and Gibraltar. Any individual who receives dividends from the Company or the proceeds from the sale of shares in the Company through a paying agent based in a state other than the one in which he resides is advised to seek information on the legal and regulatory provisions applicable to him. Most countries covered by Directive 2003/48 will report to the tax authorities in the state of residence of the beneficial owner of the income the amounts of income from debt claims included in the amount distributed by the Company (if the sub-fund invests more than 15% of its assets in debt claims as defined by Article 6 of Directive 2003/48) or included in the capital gain from the sale, refund or redemption of shares in the Company (if the sub-fund invests more than 25% of its assets in debt claims as defined by Article 6 of Directive 2003/48). Instead of such reporting, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as well as certain other countries, including Austria and Switzerland, will generally apply a withholding tax on the interest and other income related to interest paid to a beneficial owner resident in another member state. This withholding tax will be 35%. Such withholding will be taken into consideration for tax purposes by the tax authority of the state of residence of the individual, in accordance with applicable tax law. The beneficial owner may instruct the paying agent to submit to the information-exchange system or to use a tax certificate as an alternative to the withholding tax. d) Residents of third countries or territories In principle, no withholding tax is levied on interest paid to residents of third countries or territories. However, withholding tax is levied, in accordance with Directive 2003/48, on interest and related income paid out to beneficial owners resident in the Netherlands Antilles, Aruba, Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man, the British Virgin Islands and Montserrat. The foregoing provisions are based on the Law and practices currently in force, and are subject to change. Potential investors are advised to seek information in their country of origin, place of residence or domicile on the possible tax consequences associated with their investment. The attention of investors is also drawn to certain tax provisions specific to individual countries in which the Company publicly markets its shares.

4. a) A sub-fund may not invest more than 10% of its assets in transferable securities or money market instruments issued by a single entity. A sub-fund may not invest more than 20% of its assets in deposits invested in a single entity. The counterparty risk for a sub-fund in an OTC derivatives transaction may not exceed 10% of its assets if the counterparty is one of the credit institutions specified in clause 1.f), or 5% of its assets in other cases. b) The total value of the transferable securities and money market instruments held by a sub-fund with issuers in each of which it invests more than 5% of its assets may not exceed 40% of the value of its assets. This limit does not apply to deposits with financial institutions under prudential supervision and OTC derivatives transactions with these institutions. Notwithstanding the individual limits defined in clause a), when it would lead to it investing more than 20% of its assets in a single entity, a sub-fund may not combine several elements from among the following: - investments in transferable securities or money market instruments issued by that entity, - deposits at that entity, or - risks arising from OTC derivatives transactions with that entity. c) The limit stipulated in the first paragraph of clause a) may be increased to a maximum of 35% if the transferable securities or money market instruments are issued or guaranteed by a European Union member state, by its regional public authorities, by a third-party state or by international public organisations to which one or more member states belong. d) The limit stipulated in the first paragraph of clause a) may be increased to a maximum of 25% for certain bonds, if they are issued by a credit institution which has its registered office in a European Union member state and which is legally subject to special supervision by the public authorities that is designed to protect bondholders. In particular, funds arising from the issue of these bonds must be invested, in accordance with legislation, in assets which, throughout the lifetime of the bonds, are able to cover the debts resulting from the bonds and which, in the event of the issuers bankruptcy, would be used in priority for redemption of the principal and payment of the accrued interest. If a sub-fund invests more than 5% of its assets in the bonds described in the first paragraph and issued by a single issuer, the total value of these investments may not exceed 80% of the value of the sub-funds assets. e) The transferable securities and money market instruments mentioned in clauses c) and d) are not included in the application of the 40% limit mentioned in clause b). The limits stipulated in clauses a), b), c) and d) cannot be combined; consequently, investments in transferable securities or money market instruments issued by a single entity, or in deposits or derivative instruments made with this entity in accordance with clauses a), b), c) and d), may not in total exceed 35% of the sub-funds assets. Companies that are grouped together into a consolidated accounting entity as defined by Directive 83/349 or in accordance with recognised international accounting rules are considered as a single entity for the calculation of the limits stipulated in this point 4. A single sub-fund may invest a cumulative total of up to 20% of its assets in the transferable securities and money market instruments of a single group. 5. Without prejudice to the limits specified in point 8., the limits specified in point 4. are increased to a maximum of 20% for investments in shares and/or debt securities issued by a single entity, if the sub-funds investment policy has the objective of replicating the composition of a specific equity or debt securities index that is recognised by the CSSF, on the following basis: - the composition of the index is sufficiently diversified; - the index constitutes a representative benchmark for the market to which it refers; - appropriate publication has been made. The limit stipulated in the preceding sentence is 35% if this is justified by exceptional market conditions, especially on regulated markets where certain transferable securities or certain money market instruments are largely dominant. Investment to this limit is only permissible for a single issuer. 6. As an exception to point 4., under the principle of the diversification of risks, a sub-fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in different issues of transferable securities and money market instruments issued or guaranteed by a European Union member state, by its regional public authorities, by another state part of the OECD, by Brazil, Indonesia, Russia, Singapore and South Africa, or by international public organisations to which one or more member states of the European Union belong. These securities must come from at least six different issues, while securities from a single issue may not account for more than 30% of the total. 7. a) A sub-fund may acquire units, or shares in UCITS and/or other UCIs specified in clause 1.e), provided that it does not invest more than 20% of its assets in a single UCITS or other UCI. For the purposes of the application of this investment limit, each sub-fund in a multi-sub-fund UCI, as defined by Article 181 of the Law, is considered as a separate issuer, provided that the principle of segregation of the commitments of the different sub-funds with regard to third parties is assured. b) Investments in units, or shares of UCIs other than UCITS may not in total exceed 30% of the assets of a sub-fund. If a sub-fund has acquired units, or shares in UCITS and/or other UCIs, the assets of these UCITS or other UCIs are not combined for the purposes of the limits stipulated in point 4. c) Due to the fact that the Company may invest in UCI units, or shares, the investor is exposed to a risk of fees doubling (for example, the management fees of the UCI in which the Company is invested). A sub-fund may not invest in a UCITS, or other UCI (underlying), with a management fee exceeding 3% per annum. When a sub-fund invests in other UCITS, and/or other UCIs, which are managed, directly or by delegation, by the same management company or by any other company with which the management company is associated within the context of a management or control community, or significant direct or indirect ownership, the sub-fund will not incur any subscription or redemption fee for the units, or shares of these underlying assets. The maximum annual management fee payable directly by the sub-fund is defined in Book II.
27 / 404
8. a) The Company may not acquire shares accompanied by voting rights that entitle it to exercise significant influence on an issuers management. b) In addition, the Company may not acquire more than: 10% of shares without voting rights in a single issuer; 10% of debt securities from a single issuer; 25% of units, or shares in a single UCITS, or other UCI, as defined by Article 2 Paragraph 2 of the Law ; 10% of money market instruments issued by a single issuer. The limits stipulated in the second, third and fourth indents above need not be respected at the time of acquisition if, at that time, the gross amount of bonds or money market instruments, or the net amount of securities issued, cannot be calculated. c) Clauses a) and b) do not apply with regard to: transferable securities and money market instruments issued or guaranteed by a European Union member state or its regional public authorities; transferable securities and money market instruments issued or guaranteed by a state that is not part of the European Union; transferable securities and money market instruments issued by international organisations with a public remit to which one or more member states of the European Union belong; shares held by the Company in the capital of a company from a state outside the European Union investing its assets mainly in securities of issuers from that state when, by virtue of its legislation, such a holding constitutes for the Company the only possibility of investing in securities of issuers from this state. However, this exemption is only applicable if, in its investment policy, the company from the state outside the European Union respects the limits established in points 4., 7. and 8. a) and b). In the event of the limits stipulated in points 4. and 7. being exceeded, point 9. will apply mutatis mutandis; The sub-funds are not bound to conform to the limits stipulated in this Appendix during the exercise of subscription rights on transferable securities or money market instruments that form part of their assets. While continuing to respect the principle of the diversification of risks, newly authorised sub-funds may be exempted from points 4., 5., 6. and 7. for six months following the date of their authorisation. If the limits stated in the first paragraph are exceeded by the sub-fund unintentionally or following the exercise of subscription rights, the sub-fund must aim as a priority in its sales transactions, to regularise this situation taking account of the interests of shareholders. A sub-fund can acquire currencies through back-to-back loans. A sub-fund may borrow the following, provided that these loans: a) are temporary and represent a maximum of 10% of its assets; b) allow the acquisition of immovable property indispensable to the direct exercise of its activities and represent a maximum of 10% of its assets. If a sub-fund is authorised to borrow under points a) and b), these loans must not exceed 15% of its total assets. Without prejudice to the application of points 1., 2., 3. and Appendix 2, a sub-fund may not grant credits or stand surety for a third party. The preceding paragraph does not prevent a sub-funds acquisition of transferable securities, money market instruments or other financial instruments specified in clauses 1.e), g) and h), that are not fully paid-up. A sub-fund may not short-sell transferable securities, money market instruments or other financial instruments specified in clauses 1. e), g) and h). By derogation of the above restriction, a sub-fund designed as the Feeder may invest: a) at least 85% of its assets in units, or shares of another UCITS or another sub-fund of UCITS (the Master); b) up to 15% of its assets in one or more of the following: - cash, on an ancillary basis, - financial derivative instruments, which may be used only for hedging purpose, in accordance with point 1.g) and Appendix 2; - movable and immovable property which is essential for the direct pursuit of its business. A sub-fund may acquire shares of one or more other sub-funds of the Company (the target sub-fund), provided that: the target sub-fund does not, in turn, invest in the sub-fund; the proportion of assets that each target sub-fund invests in other target sub-funds of the Company does not exceed 10%; any voting rights attached to the shares of the target sub-funds shall be suspended as long as they are held by the sub-fund and without prejudice of appropriate treatment in the accounting and periodic reports; in all cases, as long as these target sub-fund shares are held by the Company, their value shall not be taken into account for the calculation of the net assets of the Company for purposes of verifying the minimum threshold of net assets required by law; there shall be no duplication of management/subscription commissions or redemption between these commissions at the level of the sub-fund that invested in the target sub-fund and this target sub-fund.

As a general rule, the Board of Directors reserves the right to introduce other investment restrictions at any time when indispensable for conforming to the laws and regulations in force in certain states where the Companys shares may be offered and sold. On the other hand, where permitted by current regulations applicable to the Company, the Board of Directors reserves the right to exempt one or more sub-funds from one or more of the investment restrictions specified above. These exceptions will be mentioned in the investment policies summarised in Book II for each of the sub-funds concerned.

1.4. List of sub-funds using the VaR method to calculate the global exposure, their reference portfolio and leverage levels. The expected leverage is defined as the sum: 1) of the absolute value of the derivatives notionals (with neither netting nor hedging arrangement) divided by NaV (notionals methodology); 2) of the absolute value of derivatives commitment approach calculation invested for trading purpose only (commitment methodology). The maximum leverage ratio (notionals methodology and commitment methodology) could be reached during the life of the subfund regarding its investment policy.

1.5. Calculation of counterparty risk linked to OTC derivative instruments In conformity with point 4.a) of Appendix 1 of the Prospectus, the counterparty risk linked to OTC derivatives concluded by a subfund may not exceed 10% of its assets when the counterparty is a credit institution cited in point 1.f) of Appendix 1 of the Prospectus, or 5% of its assets in other cases. The counterparty risk linked to OTC financial derivatives shall be based, as the positive mark to market value of the contract. 1.6. Valuation of OTC derivatives Per in conformity with point 1.g) of Appendix 1 of the Prospectus, the Management Company shall establish, document, implement and maintain arrangements and procedures which ensure appropriate, transparent and fair valuation of OTC derivatives. 1.7. Method of calculating total market risk for Feeder sub-funds: The global exposure of a Feeder sub-fund will be calculated by combining its own exposure through financial derivative instruments, with either: the Master actual exposure through financial derivative instruments in proportion to the Feeder investment into the Master; or the Master potential maximal global exposure related to financial derivative instruments as defined by the Master management rules, or Articles of Association in proportion to the Feeder investment into the Master. 2. Provisions concerning specific Instruments When buying or selling a credit default swap (CDS), the Company hedges against the risk of an issuers default by paying a quarterly premium. In the event of payment default, settlement may be made either in cash, in which case the buyer of the protection receives the difference between the face value and the recoverable value, or in the form of an in-kind settlement, in which case the buyer of the protection sells the defaulting security, or another security chosen from a basket of deliverable securities agreed in the CDS contract, to the seller of the protection and recovers the face value. The events that constitute default are defined in the CDS contract, along with the procedures for delivery of the bonds and debt certificates. When buying an equity default swap (EDS), the Company hedges against the risk of a sharp fall (the current market norm is 70%) in the value of the underlying security on the stock markets, regardless of the cause for the fall, by paying a quarterly premium. When the risk is realised, i.e. when the closing price on the stock market reaches or exceeds the threshold (of 70%), the payment is made in cash: the buyer of the protection receives a pre-determined percentage (the current European market norm is 50%) of the notional amount initially assured. The Company may also sell an EDS and thus reproduce the risk of a fall in the market price in return for a quarterly premium. A Total Return Swap (TRS) is a swap contract on the total performance of a bond or other underlying asset (share, index, etc.) against a reference rate plus a spread. Total performance includes interest coupons, dividends and the profits and losses of the underlying asset during the lifetime of the contract, according to the type of underlying asset involved. A contract for difference (CFD) is a contract between two parties whereby they agree on a cash payment between them in the amount of the difference between two valuations of the underlying asset, at least one of which is unknown when they enter into the contract. By entering into a CFD, the Company undertakes to pay (or receive) the difference between the valuation of the underlying asset at the time of entering into the contract and the valuation of the underlying asset at a particular moment in the future. The Company may trade only with first rank financial institutions participating in these markets and specialising in this type of transaction. The use of CDSs, CFDs and EDSs for purposes other than hedging must comply with the following conditions: (a) they must be used exclusively in the interests of shareholders, with the aim of providing an attractive return with respect to the risks incurred; (b) the general investment restrictions defined in Appendix 1 are applied to the issuer of the CDSs, CFDs and EDSs and to the final debtor risk of the CDSs, CFDs and EDSs; (c) the use of CDSs, CFDs and EDSs is consistent with the investment and risk profiles of the sub-funds concerned; (d) each sub-fund must ensure that it has adequate permanent cover of the risks associated with CDSs, CFDs and EDSs so that it is capable of honouring redemption requests from shareholders, and (e) the CDSs, CFDs and EDSs selected are sufficiently liquid to allow the sub-funds concerned to sell/unwind the contracts in question at the determined theoretical prices. EMTN (Euro Medium Term Notes) are medium-term debt securities characterised by their high level of flexibility for both the issuer (corporate issuers and public bodies) and the investor. EMTN are issued according to an EMTN programme, which means that use of debt funding can be staggered and the amounts involved varied. The arranger of the issue will not necessarily underwrite it, which means that the issuer cannot be certain of raising the full amount envisaged (it is therefore in the issuers interest to have a good credit rating). A structured EMTN is the combination of an EMTN issue and a derivative enabling the conversion of the cash flows generated by the EMTN. For example, if the issuer floats an EMTN that pays LIBOR + spread, and simultaneously enters into a LIBOR/fixed-rate swap over the same period, it obtains the equivalent of a fixed-rate financing, while the investor obtains a floating-rate investment. These structured EMTNs may be subscribed by investment funds seeking to offer their clients personalised products that meet their specific needs in view of their risk profiles. Commodity ETPs refer to all exchange traded products tracking commodity returns. They do not include ETPs tracking the equity of companies involved in the commodity industry. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) refer to exchange traded products that are structured and regulated as mutual funds or collective investment schemes: United States: ETFs are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Currently, US ETFs rely on physical delivery of the underlying assets for the creation and redemption of securities; European Union: Most ETFs are UCITS compliant collective investment schemes. UCITS funds are not allowed to invest in physical commodities but they are able to use synthetic index replication to obtain exposure to broad commodity indices that satisfy the relevant diversification requirements; Other jurisdictions: Such as Switzerland, permit ETFs to use physical or synthetic replication to obtain commodities exposure without diversification restrictions. Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs) trade and settle like ETFs but are structured as debt instruments. They track both broad and single commodity indices. ETC either physically hold the underlying commodity (e.g. physical gold) or get their exposure through fully collateralised swaps. a) b)
31 / 404
Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs) are similar to ETCs except that they are not collateralised, which means that an investor in an ETN will be fully exposed to issuer credit risk. United States: Publish NAV, AUM or Shares Outstanding information on a daily basis Europe: Are not required to and often do not publicly report NAV, AUM or Share Outstanding information on a regular basis. "Equity" sub-funds may invest their assets in equities and equity equivalent securities. Equity equivalent securities include in particular ADR and GDR, investment certificates, subscription warrants and any other security specified in the investment policy. The use of ADRs/GDRs refers to all categories of American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts, mirror substitutes for shares which cannot be bought locally for legal reasons. ADRs and GDRs are not listed locally but on such markets as New York or London and are issued by major banks and/or financial institutions in industrialised countries in return for deposit of the securities mentioned in the sub-fund's investment policy. 3. Securities Lending The Company may enter into securities lending and borrowing transactions provided that they comply with the following Circular 08/356 rules: 3.1. The Company may only lend or borrow securities through a standardised system organised by a recognised clearing institution or through a first class financial institution specialising in this type of transaction. The CSSF requires the following from the borrower: Collateral from the borrower is mandatory; The borrower must be subject to prudential supervision rules which are considered by the CSSF as equivalent to those provided by the Community Law. Limits on securities lending transactions The Company must ensure that the volume of the securities lending transactions is kept at an appropriate level or must be able to ask for the restitution of the securities lent in a manner such that it may at any time meet its redemption obligation and that these transaction do not compromise the management of the Companys assets in accordance with its investment policy. Limitation of the counterparty risk and receipt of appropriate collateral At any time, in securities lending transactions, the value of collateral received by the fund must cover at least the total value of the lent securities (interest, dividends and other potential rights included). The net exposure (i.e. the exposures of the Company less the collateral received by the Company) to a counterparty shall be taken into account in the 20% limit provided for point 4.b) of Appendix 1 of the Prospectus. Daily valuation of the collateral is required. Acceptable receiving collateral a) Liquid assets (cash, short term bank deposits, money market instruments, letter of credit); b) OECD sovereign bonds; c) Shares or units issued by money market UCIs (daily calculation and S&P AAA rating or equivalent); d) Shares or units issued by UCITS investing in bonds/shares mentioned below: e) Bonds issued or guaranteed by first class issuers offering adequate liquidity; f) Shares listed or dealt on a regulated market of the EU or on a stock exchange of a Member State of the OECD, provided that they are included in a main index and that their issuer is not affiliated to the counterparty; g) Direct investments in bonds or shares with the characteristics mentioned in (e) and (f ) Reinvestment of cash provided as collateral The Company may re-invest the cash it has received as collateral in the following eligible instruments: a) Money market UCIs (daily calculation and S&P AAA rating or equivalent); b) Short-term bank deposits; c) Money market instruments; d) Short-term bonds issued or guaranteed by a Member State of the European Union, Switzerland, Canada, Japan or the United States or by their local authorities or by supranational institutions and undertakings with EU, regional or world-wide scope; e) Bonds issued or guaranteed by first class issuers offering adequate liquidity, and f) Reverse repurchase agreement transactions The financial assets other than bank deposit and units of UCIs that the Company has acquired by reinvesting the cash collateral must not be issued by an entity affiliated to the counterparty; The financial assets acquired via the reinvestment of the cash collateral must not be kept with the counterparty, except if it is legally segregated from the counterpartys assets; The financial assets acquired via the reinvestment of the cash collateral may not be pledged unless the Company has sufficient liquidities to be able to return the received collateral in the form of cash. Reinvested cash collateral limits applicable Exposures arising from the reinvestment of collateral received by the Company shall be taken into account within the diversification limits applicable under Appendix 1 of the Prospectus.

4. Repurchase Agreements 4.1. In accordance with the Circular 08/356, each sub-fund may, on an ancillary basis, engage in repurchase agreements which consist of purchases and sales of securities with clauses reserving the sellers right to buy the sold securities back from the purchaser at a price and time stipulated between the two parties at the time of entering into the contract. Each sub-fund may engage in repurchase agreements either as buyer or seller. However, the involvement of a sub-fund in such agreements is subject to the following rules: a) Each sub-fund may buy or sell securities with repurchase options only if the counterparties in these agreements are first-rank financial institutions specialising in this type of transaction; and b) During the lifetime of a repurchase agreement, a sub-fund may not sell the securities forming the subject of the contract until the counterpartys repurchase option has been exercised or the repurchase term has expired. In addition, each sub-fund must ensure that it keeps the scale of repurchase agreements at such a level that it is capable at all times of meeting its share/unit repurchase obligations to shareholders/unitholders. 4.2. Eligible securities for repurchase and reverse repurchase transaction: a) Short-term bank certificates; b) Money market instruments; c) Bonds issued or guaranteed by a member of state of the OECD or by their local authorities or by supranational institutions and undertakings of a community, regional or worldwide nature; d) Money market UCIs (daily calculation and S&P AAA rated or equivalent); e) Bonds issued by non-governmental issuers offering an adequate liquidity; f) Shares listed or dealt on a regulated market of the EU or on a stock exchange of a member state of the OECD, provided that they are included in a main index. 4.3. Limits for repurchase transactions The securities which are the subject of repurchase transactions must be compliant with the investment policy of the Company and must together with the other securities which the Company holds in its portfolio, globally comply with the investment restrictions of the Company. 5. Particular Requirements in Taiwan In addition to the prohibition on investing in gold, property and commodities (general rules already cited in point 2.b) and 3. of Appendix 1) each sub-fund registered and marketed in Taiwan shall comply with the following additional requirements: The total value of open long positions on derivatives may not exceed 40% of the net assets of the sub-fund; - The total value of open short positions on derivatives may not exceed the total market value of the corresponding securities held by the sub-fund. Specific derogation approval has been granted by the regulator in April 2008 and March 2012.

Low Interest Rate Consequence This risk is present in each sub-fund having debt securities in its investment universe. A very low level of interest rates may affect the return on short term assets held by monetary funds which may not be sufficient to cover the management costs leading there a structural decrease of the net asset value of the sub-fund. Currency Exchange Risk This risk is present in each sub-fund having positions denominated in currencies that differ from its reference currency. A sub-fund may hold assets denominated in currencies that differ from its accounting currency, and may be affected by exchange rate fluctuations between the accounting currency and the other currencies and by changes in exchange rate controls. If the currency in which a security is denominated appreciates in relation to the accounting currency of the sub-fund, the exchange value of the security in the accounting currency will appreciate; conversely, a depreciation of the denomination currency will lead to a depreciation in the exchange value of the security. When the manager is willing to hedge the currency exchange risk of a transaction, there is no guarantee that such operation will be completely effective. Inflation Risk All types of investments are concerned by this risk. Over time, yields of short-term investments may not keep pace with inflation, leading to a reduction in an investments purchasing power. Taxation Risk This is a generic risk. The value of an investment may be affected by the application of tax laws in various countries, including withholding tax, changes in government, economic or monetary policy in the countries concerned. As such, no guarantee can be given that the financial objectives will actually be achieved. Commodity Market Risk This risk is present in each sub-fund having commodities (indirectly invested) in its investment universe. Commodity markets may experience significant, sudden price variations that have a direct effect on the valuation of shares and securities that equate to the shares in which a sub-fund may invest and/or indices that a sub-fund may be exposed to. Moreover, the underlying assets may evolve in a markedly different way from traditional securities markets (equity markets, bond markets etc.) Emerging Market Risk Sub-funds investing in emerging markets are likely to be subject to a higher than average volatility due to a high degree of concentration, greater uncertainty because less information is available, there is less liquidity, or due to greater sensitivity to changes in market conditions (social, political and economic conditions). In addition, some emerging markets offer less security than the majority of international developed markets. For this reason, services for portfolio transactions, liquidation and conservation on behalf of funds invested in emerging markets may carry greater risk. The Company and investors agree to bear these risks. With regards to the Russian market, investments there are made with the Russian Trading System Stock Exchange (or RTS Stock Exchange"), which brings together a large number of Russian issuers and allows for almost total coverage of the Russian equity universe. By investing with the RTS Stock Exchange, investors can take advantage of the liquidity of the Russian market without having to deal in the local currency, as all issuers can be directly traded in USD. Small Cap, Specialised or Restricted Sectors Risk Sub-funds investing in small caps or specialised or restricted sectors are likely to be subject to a higher than average volatility due to a high degree of concentration, greater uncertainty because less information is available, there is less liquidity, or due to greater sensitivity to changes in market conditions. Smaller companies may find themselves unable to generate new funds to support their growth and development, they may lack vision in management, or they may develop products for new, uncertain markets. The Company and investors agree to bear these risks. Warrant Risk The investors attention is drawn to the fact that warrants are complex, volatile, high-risk instruments: the risk of a total loss of the invested capital is great. In addition, one of the principal characteristics of warrants is the leverage effect, which is seen in the fact that a change in the value of the underlying asset can have a disproportionate effect on the value of the warrant. Finally, there is no guarantee that, in the event of an illiquid market, it will be possible to sell the warrant on a secondary market. Risks related to investments in some countries Investments in some countries (China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand) involve risks linked to restrictions imposed on foreign investors and counterparties, higher market volatility and the risk of lack of liquidity for some lines of the portfolio. Consequently, some shares may not be available to the sub-fund due to the number of foreign shareholders authorised or if the total investments permitted for foreign shareholders have been reached. In addition, the repatriation by foreign investors of their share of net profits, capital and dividends may be restricted or require the approval of the government. The Company will only invest if it considers that the restrictions are acceptable. However, no guarantee can be given that additional restrictions will not be imposed in future.

APPENDIX 4 CO-MANAGEMENT
In order to reduce operating and administrative expenses while enabling greater diversification of investments, the Board of Directors may decide to co-manage some or all of the Companys assets with assets belonging to other undertakings for collective investment or to co-manage some or all of the assets of sub-funds together. In the following paragraphs, the term co-managed entities refers either overall to the Company and all the other entities with which and between which a co-management arrangement exists, or to the comanaged sub-funds. The term co-managed assets refers to all the assets belonging to these co-managed entities that are comanaged by virtue of this co-management arrangement. Under co-management, the manager makes buy, sale or portfolio adjustment decisions for the co-managed entities as a whole that will affect the Companys portfolio composition or the composition of the portfolios of its co-managed sub-funds. Of the total co-managed assets, each co-managed entity owns a share of the co-managed assets corresponding to the proportion of its net assets in relation to the total value of the co-managed assets. This proportional holding will be applied to each line of the portfolio held or acquired under comanagement. In the case of investment and/or sale decisions, these proportions will not be affected and the additional investments will be allocated to the co-managed entities in the same proportions, and assets sold will be deducted proportionally from the co-managed assets held by each co-managed entity. In the case of new subscriptions to one of the co-managed entities, the subscription proceeds will be allocated to the co-managed entities according to the amended proportions resulting from the increase of the net assets of the co-managed entity that received the subscriptions, and all the lines of the portfolio will be adjusted by transferring the assets from one co-managed entity to another to adapt to the amended proportions. Similarly, in the event of redemptions of shares in one of the co-managed entities, the necessary cash may be deducted from the cash held by the co-managed entities in the amended proportions resulting from the decrease in the net assets of the co-managed entity from which the redemptions were made, and, in this case, all the lines of the portfolio will be adjusted in the proportions thus amended. Investors should be aware that, without specific intervention by the Companys competent authorities, the co-management technique can result in the composition of the assets of the Company or of one or more of its co-managed sub-funds being influenced by events specific to other co-managed entities such as subscriptions and redemptions. Accordingly, all other things being equal, subscriptions made to one of the entities with which the Company is co-managed or to one of the co-managed sub-funds will result in an increase in the Companys cash assets or those of the other co-managed sub-fund(s). Conversely, redemptions made from one of the entities with which the Company is co-managed or from one of the co-managed sub-funds will result in a decrease in the cash assets of the Company or of the other co-managed sub-fund(s). Subscriptions and redemptions may, however, be retained in the specific account held for each co-managed entity outside the co-management arrangement through which subscriptions and redemptions are normally made. Assigning major subscriptions and redemptions to the specific account, and the option of the Companys Board of Directors to decide at any given moment to discontinue the co-management arrangement, will enable the Companys portfolio adjustments or the portfolio adjustments of its sub-funds to be compensated if these adjustments are considered to be against the interests of the Company or its sub-funds and investors. In the case when an adjustment to the composition of the Companys portfolio or to the portfolio of one or more of its co-managed sub-funds is necessitated by redemptions or payments of expenses attributable to another co-managed entity (i.e. not attributable to the Company) would risk resulting in a breach of the corresponding investment restrictions, the assets concerned will be excluded from the co-management arrangement before the adjustment is implemented, such that the portfolio movements are not affected. Co-managed assets will only be co-managed with assets designed to be invested according to an identical investment objective applicable to that of the co-managed assets in such a way as to ensure that the investment decisions are fully compatible with the investment policy of the Company or its sub-funds. The co-managed assets will only be co-managed with assets for which the Depositary also acts as custodian so as to ensure that the Depositary can, with regard to the Company or its sub-funds, fully exercise its functions and responsibilities in accordance with the provisions of the Law. The Depositary will at all times ensure a rigorous segregation of the Companys assets in relation to the assets of the other co-managed entities or between the assets of co-managed sub-funds and as such will be able, at any given time, to determine the assets belonging to the Company or co-managed sub-funds. Given that the co-managed entities may have investment policies that are not strictly identical to the Companys investment policy, it is possible that the joint policy applied will be more restrictive than that of the Company or than that of one or more of the co-managed sub-funds. A joint management agreement has been and/or will be signed between the Company, the Depositary/Central Administration agent and the Investment Manager in order to define the rights and obligations of each party. The Board of Directors may, at any given moment and without prior notice, decide to discontinue the co-management arrangement. Investors may at any time contact the Companys registered office for information on the percentage of assets co-managed and the entities with which such co-management is in force at the time of request.

when the Master merges with another UCITS, or sub-fund or is divided into two or more UCITS, or sub-fund unless the CSSF grants approval to the feeder to: continue to be a Feeder of the same Master or the Master resulting from the merger or division of the Master; invest at least 85% of its assets in units, or shares of another Master; or amend its investment policy in order to convert into a non-Feeder.
Dissolution and Liquidation of the Company The Board of Directors may, at any time and for any reason whatsoever, propose to the General Meeting the dissolution and liquidation of the Company. The General Meeting will give its ruling in accordance with the same procedure as for amendments to the Articles of Association. If the Companys capital falls below two-thirds of the minimum legal capital, the Board of Directors may submit the question of the Companys dissolution to the General Meeting. The General Meeting, for which no quorum is applicable, will decide based on a simple majority of the votes of shareholders present or represented, account shall not be taken of abstentions. If the Companys capital falls below one-quarter of the minimum legal capital, the Board of Directors shall submit the question of the Companys dissolution to the General Meeting. The General Meeting, for which no quorum is applicable, will decide based on a part of one-quarter of the votes of shareholders present or represented, account shall not be taken of abstentions. In the event of the Companys dissolution, the liquidation will be conducted by one or more liquidators that may be individuals or legal entities. They will be appointed by the General Shareholders Meeting, which will determine their powers and remuneration, without prejudice to the application of the Law. The net proceeds of the liquidation of each sub-fund, category, or class will be distributed by the liquidators to the shareholders of each sub-fund, category, or class in proportion to the number of shares they hold in the sub-fund, category, or class. In the case of straightforward liquidation of the Company, the net assets will be distributed to the eligible parties in proportion to the shares held in the Company. Net assets not distributed within a maximum period of nine months effective from the date of the liquidation will be deposited at the Public Trust Office (Caisse de Consignation) until the end of the legally specified limitation period. The calculation of the net asset value, and all subscriptions, conversions and redemptions of shares in these sub-funds, categories, or classes will also be suspended throughout the liquidation period. The General Meeting must be held within forty days of the date on which it is ascertained that the Companys net assets have fallen below the minimum legal threshold of two-thirds or one-quarter, as applicable.

Investment policy
This sub-fund invests at least 2/3 of its assets in bonds, debt securities or other similar securities issued by emerging European countries (defined as non OECD European countries prior to 1 January 1994 together with Turkey) or by companies that have their registered offices or conduct a majority of their business activities in these countries, as well as in financial derivative instruments on this type of asset. The remaining portion, namely a maximum of 1/3 of its assets, may be invested in any other transferable securities, money market instruments, financial derivative instruments or cash, and up to 10% of its assets may be invested in other UCITS or UCI. In order to reduce risk, the Company and the manager will adopt a diversification strategy for this sub-fund: * In terms of geographical region, investments will be limited to 30% of its net inventory value per country, with an overall maximum of: - 100% in securities denominated in major currencies, - 70% in securities denominated in local currencies, - 10% in notes and warrants on debt securities. * To reduce interest rate risk, the sub-fund may reduce its exposure by selling futures on U.S. Treasury bonds, particularly for hedging "Emerging Countries" fixed-rate, USD-denominated bonds. Nevertheless, these transactions entered into for hedging purposes shall not result in a reduction or increase of the investment limits calculated for the sub-fund. The risk of a transaction of this type is the inverse of the price difference between U.S. Treasury debt securities and "emerging country" USD-denominated debt ("country spread" increase). Certain markets are not currently considered to be regulated markets; direct investments on such markets must be limited to 10% of net assets. Russia is one of these non-regulated markets, except for the Russian Trading System Stock Exchange ("RTS Stock Exchange") and the Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange ("MICEX") which are considered to be regulated Russian markets and on which investments can exceed 10 % of net assets.

Investment policy
This sub-fund invests at least 2/3 of its assets in bonds, convertible bonds and debt securities or other similar securities issued by companies that have their registered offices or conduct the majority of their business activities in emerging countries (defined as non OECD countries prior to 1 January 1994 together with Turkey) as well as in financial derivative instruments on this type of asset. The remaining portion, namely a maximum of 1/3 of its assets, may be invested in any other transferable securities, money market instruments, financial derivative instruments or cash, and up to 10% of its assets may be invested in other UCITS or UCI. In order to reduce risk, the Company and the manager will adopt a diversification strategy for this sub-fund: * In terms of geographical region, investments will be limited to 25% of its net asset value per country, with a maximum of: - 100% in securities denominated in hard currencies, - 70% in securities denominated in local currencies, - 30% in government bonds, - 10% in notes and warrants on debt securities. * To reduce interest rate risk, the sub-fund may sell futures on developed market debt securities and in particular U.S. Treasury debt securities, particularly for hedging its exposure to USD-denominated fixed-rate emerging country debt. After hedging, the sub-funds exposure to currencies other than the USD may not exceed 5%. Certain markets are not currently considered to be regulated markets: direct investments on such markets must be limited to 10% of net assets. Russia is one of these non-regulated markets, except for the Russian Trading System Stock Exchange ("RTS Stock Exchange") and the Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange ("MICEX") which are considered to be regulated Russian markets and on which investments can exceed 10% of net assets.

Investment policy
This sub-fund invests at least 2/3 of its assets in bonds and debt securities or other similar securities issued by emerging countries (defined as non OECD countries prior to 1 January 1994 together with Turkey) or by companies that have their registered offices or conduct a majority of their business activities in these countries, and will try to take advantage of the currency fluctuations in these countries and in financial derivative instruments on this type of asset. The remaining portion, namely a maximum of 1/3 of its assets, may be invested in any other transferable securities, money market instruments, financial derivative instruments or cash, and up to 10% of its assets may be invested in other UCITS or UCI. In order to reduce risk, the Company and the manager will adopt a diversification strategy for this sub-fund: * In terms of geographical region, investments will be limited to 25% of its net inventory value per country, with an overall maximum of: - 100% in securities denominated in local currencies, - 70% in securities denominated in hard currencies, * To reduce interest rate risk, the sub-fund may sell futures on developed market debt securities and in particular U.S. Treasury debt securities, particularly for hedging its exposure to USD-denominated fixed-rate emerging country debt. Nevertheless, these transactions entered into for hedging purposes shall not result in a reduction or increase of the investment limits calculated for the sub-fund. The risk of a transaction of this type is the inverse of the price difference between U.S. Treasury debt securities and "emerging country" USD-denominated debt ("country spread" increase). Certain markets are not currently considered to be regulated markets: direct investments on such markets must be limited to 10% of net assets. Russia is one of these non-regulated markets, except for the Russian Trading System Stock Exchange ("RTS Stock Exchange") and the Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange ("MICEX") which are considered to be regulated Russian markets and on which investments can exceed 10% of net assets.

Investment objective
Increase the value of its assets over the medium term.
Investment policy
The sub-fund may be exposed to commodities indices compliant with the European Directive 2007/16/CEE and may implement arbitrage strategies. These strategies may be implemented through performance swaps on indices which combine inter alia long/short positions on indices, sub-indices or baskets of commodities indices in order to benefit from any favourable relative changes between the respective positions. Performance source comes from a market neutral approach which seeks to take profit whatever the market conditions in using the best combinations of indices. In practice, the resulting positions taken are called price spread positions, between commodities, or time spread positions on the same commodities but on different maturities. The sub-fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in bonds or securities treated as equivalent to bonds and/or money market instruments and/or transferable securities linked to commodities indices of any kind such as but not limited to ETC and/or ETP, and also in derivatives on this type of asset. The remainder, namely one-third of its assets maximum, may be invested in any other transferable securities, derivatives and/or cash, and also, within a limit of 10% of the assets, in UCITS or UCIs. The sub-fund does not hold commodities directly. Leverage notional details: a) The expected leverage is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the derivatives notional (with neither netting nor hedging arrangement) divided by NaV. The maximum leverage ratio (notional methodology) could be reached during the life of the sub-fund regarding its investment strategy: Commodities Arbitrage Expected Leverage Maximum Leverage Total 2 10 b) The use of derivatives on commodities indices of any kind aims to equal two times the NAV on a regular basis. The use of aforesaid combination of indices/sub-indices may appear like a synthetic leverage effect by considering the underlying notional accumulation, when considering a calculation methodology that sums absolute values of swaps nominal. In practice, the sub-fund holders should understand that the long/short positions on indices intend to deliver a market neutral position, and not to expand a directional leverage. This exposure is increased or decreased in order to satisfy the target volatility of the sub-fund, in the best interest of the shareholders. c) Maximum leverage: Greater than 2 leverage could be obtained through arbitrage (non directional) strategies whose additional risk remains low for the sub-fund; under certain circumstances when the sub-fund enters into a performance swap on index whose strategy is to take a long position equal to 5 times an index and a short position equal to 5 times another index, the leverage could reach 10; additional risk contribution may also come from Exchange Trade Commodities that can be traded to get exposure to indices and strategies and may come from ETCs that have the same impact on the leverage as performance swaps.
d) Risk Management: as the Risk management procedure described it, a solid risk management process supervises this investment strategy through a daily VaR (99%; 1-month) computed via RiskMetrics completed by monthly back test and stress tests. e) Leverage Risk warning: leverage may under certain circumstances generate an opportunity for higher return and therefore more important income but at the same time, it may increase the volatility of the sub-fund and therefore the risk to lose capital.

Investment policy
This sub-fund invests at least 2/3 of its assets in convertible or similar bonds whose underlying shares are issued by companies and in financial derivative instruments on this type of asset. The manager will seek to achieve a balance between the debt character of convertible bonds and their dependence on their respective underlying shares. In this respect, the sub-fund will take advantage of bond yields and will also be sensitive to the performance of the underlying shares. The remaining portion, namely a maximum of 1/3 of its assets, may be invested in any other transferable securities, money market instruments, financial derivative instruments or cash, and up to 10% of its assets may be invested in other UCITS or UCI. After hedging, the sub-funds exposure to currencies other than the euro may not exceed 25%.

Investment objective
Increase the value of its assets over the medium term.
Investment policy
The sub-fund invests its assets in all transferable securities and/or in cash within the limits allowed by the Law, and also in derivatives. Furthermore, the sub-fund is exposed to a range of asset classes through investment in funds, including trackers: equities of all types, in all sectors and geographic areas, government bonds, including debts of emerging countries, corporate bonds, commodities, listed real estate assets, money market instruments. The sub-fund is also indirectly exposed to market volatility. In order to achieve its performance objective, the sub-fund implements an extremely flexible and diversified allocation strategy encompassing these asset classes. Asset allocation is managed systematically and the permanent ex-ante annual volatility target is close to 7.5%. In addition the sub-fund takes up tactical allocation positions in order to increase the overall performance. The sub-funds investments are made through funds or direct investments. The sub-fund does not directly hold commodities or real estate."

Investment objective
Increase the value of its assets over the medium term.
Investment policy
The sub-fund is exposed through a discretionary investment process to a range of asset classes sensitive to inflation. The target portfolio consists of the combination of the 4 below pillars: - 50% in inflation linked bonds - 20% in commodity indices that meet the criteria laid down in the European Directive 2007/16/EEC - 20% in real estate securities - 10% in cash management On an ongoing basis the manager will adjust the weighting of these 4 asset classes according to a fundamental tactical asset allocation approach. As a result, the portfolio may differ significantly from the target portfolio above insofar the tracking error average objective is 1.25%. However, asset rebalancing can also be operated to preserve the performance target, in the best interest of the shareholders (i.e. in case of significant risk reduction), which could still trigger a higher tracking error. In extreme circumstances, the fund can be invested in cash on an ancillary basis and/or up to 100% in money market instruments. The sub-fund invests its assets in equities, bonds, real estate securities, securities treated as equivalent to equities and/or bonds, money market instruments that are Investment Grade, derivatives on all these assets and derivatives on commodity and real estate indices. The sub-fund may also invest up to 100% in UCITS and/or UCIs investing themselves in the above mentioned asset classes. The sub-fund does not hold commodity directly.

Investment policy
This sub-fund invests at least 2/3 of its assets in shares or other similar securities of companies that conduct the majority of their business activities in sectors that seem to have greater-than-average potential for growth, relatively stable growth in profits and that have their registered offices or conduct the majority of their business activities in the United States, as well as in financial derivative instruments on this type of asset. When deciding on allocations and selecting securities, the manager will seek to diversify exposure to different sectors and issuers in order to reduce risk. The remaining portion, namely a maximum of 1/3 of its assets, may be invested in any other transferable securities, money market instruments, financial derivative instruments or cash, provided that investments in debt securities of any kind do not exceed 15% of its assets and those on Canadian markets do not exceed 10% of assets, and up to 10% of its assets may be invested in other UCITS or UCI.

Investment policy
This sub-fund invests at least 2/3 of its assets in shares or other similar securities of companies that have their registered offices or conduct the majority of their business activities in emerging countries (defined as non OECD countries prior to 1 January 1994 together with Turkey), and in financial derivative instruments on this type of asset. The remaining portion, namely a maximum of 1/3 of its assets, may be invested in any other transferable securities, money market instruments, financial derivative instruments or cash, provided that investments in debt securities of any kind do not exceed 15% of its assets, and up to 10% of its assets may be invested in other UCITS or UCI. Certain markets are not currently considered to be regulated markets: direct investments on such markets must be limited to 10% of net assets. Russia is one of these non-regulated markets, except for the Russian Trading System Stock Exchange ("RTS Stock Exchange") and the Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange ("MICEX") which are considered to be regulated Russian markets and on which investments can exceed 10% of net assets.

Investment objective
Increase the value of its assets over the medium term.
Investment policy
The sub-fund invests at least 75% of its assets at all times in equities issued by companies that have their registered office in a member country of the EEA, other than non-cooperative countries in the fight against fraud and tax evasion. The remainder, namely 25% of its assets maximum, may be invested in any other transferable securities, derivatives, money market instruments and/or cash, and also, within a limit of 15% of the assets, in debt securities of any kind and, within a limit of 10% of the assets, in UCITS or UCIs. For sound portfolio management and/or hedging purposes, the sub-fund invests in derivatives such as swaps, futures or options linked to the equity markets. In order to achieve its investment objective, the sub-fund implements the following investment processes, while continuing to control volatility: * Flexible market allocation: - aiming to reduce or increase exposure to the European equity markets, depending on the level of market volatility observed. At times of high volatility, the sub-fund may increase market exposure when volatility falls and reduce exposure when it rises, - using European equity market index futures to reduce the portfolios sensitivity or give it overexposure to European equities. * Protective mechanisms: - a policy of selling calls, - systematic exposure to volatility of the equity markets through funds exposed to volatility (maximum 10%) and/or volatility futures and/or performance swaps on a fund exposed to volatility.

Investment policy
The sub-fund invests in high quality (instruments which have been awarded one of the two highest available short term credit ratings by each recognized credit rating agency that has rated instruments (or equivalent rating) or investment grade sovereign instruments) money market instruments, term deposits and other short term fixed income securities denominated in EUR. The sub-fund can hold cash on an ancillary basis and, within a limit of 10% of the assets, in UCITS or UCIs provided that underlying investment schemes qualify as short term money market funds or money market funds. The sub-fund limits its investments to securities with a maximum final legal maturity of 2 years. The sub-fund may use financial derivative instruments only in line with its investment strategy. The weighted average maturity of investments in the sub-fund is less than 6 months and the weighted average life of investments is less than 12 months. The sub-fund may enter into securities lending/borrowing transactions and repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements. The sub-fund does not invest in equities and/or convertible bonds or in securities treated as equivalent to equities and/or convertible bonds. After hedging, exposure to currencies other than the EUR is zero. Currency transactions are only done for hedging purposes.

Investment policy
In order to achieve this objective, the sub-fund may invest directly in transferable securities, money market instruments, shares or units issued by UCITS or other UCIs cash and financial derivative instruments. Financial derivative instruments invested in consist of OTC derivatives such as swaps, forwards and/or derivatives traded on regulated markets such as options and futures in order to be exposed to most liquid interest rate markets (such as but not limited to Bund, Euribor, T-Note, ) and main equity markets (such as but not limited to Eurostoxx 50, Standard and Poors 500, Nikkei 225). The sub-fund may apply a varied selection of dynamic asset allocation strategies with an absolute performance objective in order to achieve a volatility target of 2.5%. The selection of strategies is essentially based on macro-economic forecasts and factors in the valuations and risk fundamentals of the assets concerned. The sub-fund may select strategies that satisfy these criteria and have shown little correlation in the past, with a view to offsetting any losses generated by use of some of the strategies. These investment strategies include (concerns all assets classes invested in): 1) A range of directional positions on the international markets of developed and emerging countries for equities, bonds, short term interest rate, credit, commodities* and currencies** as well as positions on the volatility of equities, market indices, bonds and currencies; 2) A range of arbitrage strategies used to generate performance in a measured risk context. These arbitrage strategies are applied to the same asset classes as the directional strategies. 3) Plain vanilla buy options which are preferred to exotic products or sell options. Most of the directional and arbitrage strategies have investment horizons that range from several weeks to two years maximum. In addition to these strategies, the sub-fund may apply directional and arbitrage strategies over a very short investment horizon, which may be only a few hours or a few days. The weighting of each of these strategies will be determined on the basis of a risk budget type approach. The sub-fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in shares or units issued by UCITS or other UCIs. * Investments in derivatives on financial indices based on commodities and in transferable securities that are sensitive to fluctuations in commodities prices. ** The use of OTC contracts is preferred as OTC markets offer more liquidity than exchange traded markets. Main currencies such as but not limited to EUR, USD JPY, are mainly focused on as they are more liquid. The sub-fund does not hold commodities directly. Leverage notional details: a) The expected leverage is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the derivatives notional (with neither netting nor hedging arrangement) divided by NaV; The maximum leverage ratio (notional methodology) could be reached during the life of the sub-fund regarding its investment strategy: Multi-Strategy Low Vol Total Expected Leverage 2.6 Maximum Leverage 9.6
b) Short term interest rates options purchases have a larger contribution to the global leverage than long term interest rates options purchases. Options puchases have a high leverage contribution while their premium represents a very low percentage of the NAV of the sub-fund and while their risk is limited to the premium. The expected leverage of 2.6 can be broken down into short term interest rates positions for its major part and then into bonds, equities and Forex positions. c) Maximum leverage: under certain circumstances the leverage can reach 9.6. In such a case the larger contribution comes from short term interest rate options (when for example profits arise from options positions). Leverage will in particular come from long Put spread (loss limited to the net premiums paid) and Short Call spread where the loss is limited to the strikes differences.
d) Risk Management: as the Risk management procedure described it, a solid risks management process supervises this investment strategy through a daily VaR (99%; 1-month) computed via RiskMetrics completed by monthly back test and stress tests. e) Leverage Risk warning: leverage may under certain circumstances generate an opportunity for higher return and therefore more important income, but at the same time, may increase the volatility of the sub fund and therefore the risk to lose capital.
In October 2012 FitchRatings assigned a Strong Fund Quality Rating to the Multi-Strategy Low Vol sub-fund.

Investment objective

Investment policy
Until 28 February 2013: In order to achieve this objective, the sub-fund may invest directly in transferable securities, money market instruments, shares or units issued by UCITS or other UCIs cash and financial derivative instruments. Financial derivative instruments invested in consist of OTC derivatives such as swaps, forwards and/or derivatives traded on regulated markets such as options and futures in order to be exposed to most liquid interest rate markets (such as but not limited to Bund, Euribor, T-Note, ) and main equity markets (such as but not limited to Eurostoxx 50, Standard and Poors 500, Nikkei 225). The sub-fund may apply a varied selection of dynamic asset allocation strategies with an absolute performance objective in order to achieve a volatility target of 13%. The selection of strategies is essentially based on macro-economic forecasts and factors in the valuations and risk fundamentals of the assets concerned. The sub-fund may select strategies that satisfy these criteria and have shown little correlation in the past, with a view to offsetting any losses generated by use of some of the strategies. These investment strategies include (concerns all assets classes invested in): 1) A range of directional positions on the international markets of developed and emerging countries for equities, bonds, short term interest rates, credit, commodities* and currencies** as well as positions on the volatility of equities, market indices, bonds and currencies; A range of arbitrage strategies used to generate performance in a measured risk context.

Investment policy
This sub-fund invests in a limited number of asset groups selected on the basis of financial market movements and on the manager's expectations. To do so, the sub-fund invests at least 75% of its assets in shares or other similar securities of companies that have their registered offices or conduct the majority of their business activities in North America (66% of the assets will be invested in shares or other similar securities of companies that have their registered offices or conduct the majority of their business activities in the United States of America) and in financial derivative instruments on this type of asset. The remaining portion, namely a maximum of 25% of its assets, may be invested in any other transferable securities, money market instruments, financial derivative instruments or cash, and up to 10% of its assets may be invested in other UCITS or UCI. The sub-fund will focus its ancillary investments in convertible bonds, bonds and treasury notes, provided such investments are in transferable securities issued by companies that have their registered offices in or conduct the majority of their business activity in the United States of America.

Investment policy
The portfolio manager will expose the sub-fund to at least 3 different resilient assets (amongst others: top rated government bonds, commodities indices and/or transferable securities linked to commodities linked inter alia to energy and/or precious metals, hard currencies and money market instruments) weightings of which will be periodically rebalanced through a tactical asset allocation so as to get the best possible risk/profitability ratio. In order to reduce the overall portfolio risk, the manager may also expose the sub-fund to equity volatility with a maximum limit of 10% of the sub-funds assets. The sub-fund will invest in equities, fixed income, money market instruments, financial derivative instruments (both for hedging and/or for investment purposes) and/or cash allowed by applicable regulation. It may also invest indirectly in these assets through eligible undertakings for collective investment (UCI and/or UCITS) and/or index based funds listed on stock exchanges (ETF),but not for more than 10% of the assets. Up to 100% of the sub-fund assets may be invested in money market instruments. Cash may be held on an ancillary basis i.e. no more than 49% of the sub-fund assets. The sub-fund will not hold any commodities and/or gold directly

Investment objective
Increase the value of its assets over the short term.
Investment policy
The sub-fund invests indirectly in the money market. The sub-fund is managed "synthetically" and invests at least 75% of its assets in equities and/or securities treated as equivalent to equities whose performance has been swapped against that of the reference index (EONIA) via a total return swap. As such there is no exposure to equity markets. In all cases, the use of derivatives never results in a leverage effect, as the maximum exposure resulting from those instruments never exceeds the NAV of the sub-fund. The remainder, namely 25% of its assets maximum, may be invested in any other transferable securities, money market instruments, and/or cash, and also, within a limit of 10% of the assets, in UCITS or UCIs. The sub-fund has no exposure to currencies other than the EUR.

Investment objective
The sub-fund investment objective is first to increase the value of its assets over the medium term through participation in the performance of the emerging equity markets and, second, to minimize the risk of a decrease in the sub-fund's net asset value. In order to meet the funds investment objective, the sub-fund will be managed under insurance portfolio techniques that aim to adjust the risky asset and no risky asset exposure subject to the available margin once parameters of protection and the fund manager market anticipations have been taken into account.
Investment policy
In order to achieve this objective it will invest: - In UCITs UCIs, equities and/or securities treated as equivalent to equities and/or swaps. Moreover, the risky asset exposure can be done through financial instruments such as options, futures or forward contracts linked to emerging equity markets representative indices which comply with the European directive 2007/16. In any event, use of derivatives should not result in any leverage effect as the maximum commitment resulting from these instruments and contracts will never exceed the subfunds net asset value. - no risky asset such as fixed-rate securities and/or money market instruments and/or securities treated as equivalent to bonds denominated in the funds currency and also in derivatives on this type of asset, with a maturity equal and/or less than one year. The remainder, namely one-third of its assets maximum, may be invested in any other transferable securities, money market instruments, derivatives and/or cash, and also in UCITS or UCIs. Investments in debt securities of any kind do not exceed 25% of the assets and investments in UCITs and/or UCIs do not exceed 10% of the assets. Investments made in currencies other than the reference currency of the sub-fund will be hedged against the currency risk to the extent possible, in accordance with the special rules and restrictions governing the investments mentioned in the prospectus. A guarantee has been given by the Guarantor for a one-year period. At the end of each yearly period (8 January), the guarantee will be tacitly renewed for consecutive one-year periods until 8 January 2018. The Guarantor may decide to extend the guarantee beyond this date, or the Guarantor may decide to terminate the guarantee under the conditions set out in Book I of the Prospectus. The Manager will revise the Applicable Threshold on the following dates (the "Revision Dates"): - on the annual Revision Date, i.e. on 8 January of each year, the Applicable Threshold will be replaced by a new Threshold equal to 80% of the net asset value determined on the last day of the one-year period or the preceding bank business day (if it is not a bank business day). The New Threshold will come into effect on the first bank business day after the annual guarantee Revision Date. The New Threshold may be lower or higher than the Initial Threshold or the previously fixed threshold; - whenever the net asset value rises compared with the net asset value on the basis of which the Applicable Threshold was determined, the Applicable Threshold will be replaced by a New Threshold which will come into effect on the Revision Date and which is equal to 80% of the net asset value at that date. The Applicable Threshold may be revised downwards only on each annual Revision Date. The Manager will inform the Guarantor of any revision of the Applicable Threshold.

Moreover, the risky asset exposure can be done through financial instruments such as options, futures or forward contracts linked to the commodities markets (and/or linked to companies from the commodities industry) representative indices which comply with the European directive 2007/16. In any event, use of derivatives should not result in any leverage effect as the maximum commitment resulting from these instruments and contracts will never exceed the sub-funds net asset value. - no risky asset such as fixed-rate securities and/or money market instruments and/or securities treated as equivalent to bonds denominated in the funds currency and also in derivatives on this type of asset, with a maturity equal and/or less than one year. The remainder, namely one-third of its assets maximum, may be invested in any other transferable securities, money market instruments, derivatives and/or cash, and also in UCITS and/or UCIs. Investments in debt securities of any kind do not exceed 25% of the assets and investments in UCITs and/or UCIs do not exceed 10% of the assets.

The Manager will revise the Applicable Threshold on the following dates (hereinafter referred to as the "Revision Dates"): - on the annual revision date, i.e. on 8 January of each year, the Applicable Threshold will be replaced by a New Threshold equal to 90% of the net asset value on the last day of the one-year period or the preceding bank business day (if it is not a bank business day). The New Threshold will come into effect on the first bank business day after the annual revision date. The New Threshold may be lower or higher than the Initial Threshold or the existing, previously fixed, Applicable Threshold; - whenever the net asset value rises by 5% compared with the net asset value on the basis of which the Applicable Threshold was determined, the Applicable Threshold will be replaced by a New Threshold which will come into effect on the Revision Date and which is equal to 90% of the net asset value at that date.

Investment policy
This absolute return fund has a target volatility in the region of 350 basis points measured based on the annualised standard deviation in performance. The sub-fund aims to generate a positive absolute return (measured in euros) by actively managing a portfolio of negotiable debt securities on world markets by means of strategies such as stock selection, credit and duration management (defined as an interest rate sensitivity measurement), and active currency management. When selecting securities, the sub-fund's manager will endeavour to diversify exposure across different classes of debt securities, maturities and issuers. When managing the sub-fund's exposure to a particular currency, the manager may seek to protect the sub-fund against foreign exchange risk resulting from the sub-fund's assets, but may also seek to buy or sell any currencies for purposes other than hedging by using derivative foreign exchange products. The use of these derivative exchange products may involve a net short exposure of the sub-fund to certain currencies. When managing the overall duration of the sub-fund, the manager may seek to protect the sub-fund against the interest rate risk, but also allow the sub-fund to benefit from interest rate variations. The manager may hedge credit exposure by using credit derivatives such as, among others, the credit derivatives on a single unique issuer and index, but may also use these instruments for purposes other than hedging in order to reflect his convictions concerning the investments via the transactions on credit derivatives. After hedging, the sub-fund's exposure to emerging market (defined as non OECD countries prior to 1 January 1994 together with Turkey) debt securities and speculative sub-investment grade debt securities and will not exceed 30% of its assets. It must not acquire securities with a lower than C rating from Standard & Poor's and Moody's or equivalent from another recognised rating agency, or unrated if the Fund manager considers them comparable. The sub-fund may invest in financial derivative instruments and up to 10% of its assets in other UCITS or UCI. Certain markets are not currently considered to be regulated markets: direct investments on such markets must be limited to 10% of net assets. Russia is one of these non-regulated markets, except for the Russian Trading System Stock Exchange ("RTS Stock Exchange") and the Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange ("MICEX") which are considered to be regulated Russian markets and on which investments can exceed 10% of net assets.

Investment objective
This sub-funds objective is to outperform its benchmark, consisting of 50% of the Dow Jones-UBS Agriculture Subindex and 50% of the S&P GSCI Agriculture and Livestock index.
Investment policy
The sub-fund may be exposed to the Dow Jones-UBS Agriculture Subindex and/or the S&P GSCI Agriculture and Livestock index and/or any agricultural commodities index that meets the criteria laid down in European Directive 2007/16/EEC. Exposure to the indices is obtained by using synthetic replication. For this purpose, the sub-fund invests in index derivatives such as swaps (e.g. index swaps), options, futures, ETP and forward contracts linked to the aforementioned indices, on any regulated market or OTC. More specifically, the sub-fund may enter into index swap contracts, swapping a floating or fixed interest rate against the performance of the indices. Exposure via derivatives to the indices representing global changes in agricultural commodities prices in any sector may range from 0% to 100% of the sub-funds net assets. The sub-fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in bonds or securities treated as equivalent to bonds and/or money market instruments and/or transferable securities linked to agricultural commodities indices, and also in derivatives on this type of asset. The remainder, namely one-third of its assets maximum, may be invested in any other transferable securities, derivatives and/or cash, and also, within a limit of 10% of the assets, in UCITS or UCIs. Until 28 February 2013: After hedging, exposure to currencies other than the EUR is zero.

Investment objective
Increase asset value in the medium term. The objective of this fund is to outperform its benchmark, the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index.
Investment policy
This sub-fund can be exposed to any index representing commodities, combining all sectors that comply with the European Directive 2007/16/CEE. The exposure to indices is obtained by using a synthetic replication method. To do so, the sub-fund invests in derivative instruments on the indices in question,, on a regulated or over-the-counter market. In particular, the sub-fund can enter into swap agreements (variable or fixed interest rate swap against index performance). Performance swaps on indices provide a long-only position on underlying commodities, and can combine inter alia through long/short positions on indices, sub-indices or baskets of commodities indices as an overlay to the long-only exposure, in order to provide the expected out-performance. Performance sources come from factors such as but not limited to assets weighting decisions in using the aforesaid combinations of indices based on a fundamental and quantitative analysis and maturity positioning by using indices in which the underlying future contract maturities can be further deferred compared to the standard front months. This sub-fund invests at least 2/3 of its assets in bonds or other similar securities, money market instruments, transferable securities linked to prices for commodities of any kind, and in financial derivative instruments on this type of asset. The remaining portion, namely a maximum of 1/3 of its assets, may be invested in any other transferable securities, money market instruments, financial derivative instruments or cash, and up to 10% of its assets may be invested in other UCITS or UCI. The sub-fund does not hold commodities directly. Leverage notionals details: a) The expected leverage is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the derivatives notionals (with neither netting nor hedging arrangement) divided by NaV. The maximum leverage ratio (notionals methodology) could be reached during the life of the sub-fund regarding its investment strategy: World Commodities Total b) Expected Leverage 1 Maximum Leverage 10
The use of derivatives on commodities indices of any kind ains to equal one time the NAV on a regular basis. The use of aforesaid combination of indices/sub-indices may appear like a synthetic leverage effect by considering the underlying notional accumulation, when considering a calculation methodology that sums absolute values of swaps nominal. In practice, the sub-fund holders should understand that the long/short positions on indices intend to deliver a market neutral overlay position in addition to the main long only exposure, and not to expand a directional leverage. This exposure is increased or decreased in accordance with the tracking-error target of the sub-fund in the best interest of the shareholders. .
c)
Maximum leverage: Greater than 1 leverage could be obtained through arbitrage (non directional) strategies whose additional risk remains low for the sub-fund; under certain circumstances, when the sub-fund via a performance swap on index that takes a long position equal to 5 times an index and a short position equal to 5 times another index, the leverage could reach 10; additional risk contribution may also come from Exchange Trade Commodities that can be traded to get exposure to indices and strategies and then may come from ETCs that have the same impact on the leverage as performance swaps. Risk Management: as the Risk management procedure described it, a solid risk management process supervises this investment strategy through a daily VaR (99%; 1-month) computed via RiskMetrics completed by monthly back test and stress tests. Leverage Risk warning: leverage may under certain circumstances generate an opportunity for higher return and therefore more important income but at the same time, it may increase the volatility of the sub-fund and therefore the risk to lose capital.

Investment objective
Increase asset value in the medium term and generate performance greater than its benchmark index, the EONIA (the "Euro Overnight Index Average") which reflects the weighted average rate of day to day interbank investments in euros) with low correlation to stock and bond market trends.
Investment policy
This sub-fund implements different arbitrage strategies to manage volatility within a single asset class or between different asset classes. Volatility arbitrage strategies aim to take advantage of price anomalies in different derivatives markets while maintaining a sufficiently large underlying package to spread the risks. The principal strategy consists of taking advantage of the risk premium linked to the volatility of short-term derivatives. The sub-fund may invest in listed or mutually agreed financial derivative instruments. It may buy or sell standard futures and options on equities, on financial indices covering commodities*, on fixed income securities and on currencies. In addition to such derivatives, the manager may also invest directly in the securities that underlie them, except for commodities. It may also, on an ancillary basis, invest in any other transferable securities, debt securities, money market instruments, financial derivative instruments, term deposits or cash, and up to 10% of its assets may be invested in other UCITS or UCI. * investments in financial derivative instruments on commodity-related financial indices as well as in transferable securities linked to price changes in commodities.
