investment target

The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to achieve a positive performance in the mid-to long-term while limiting losses in times of market stress by following a total return investment approach whilst respecting a target volatility of between 3 and 5% per annum with the aim of providing stable returns. The base portfolio of the Sub-Fund will be invested in investment grade fixed income and Money Market Instruments. The exposure to global equity and bond markets is managed dynamically on a daily basis and will be gained by using financial derivative instruments such as exchange-traded equity index futures (e.g. Euro Stoxx 50 futures, SMI futures, S&P 500 futures, Topix futures) and bond futures (e.g. 5 year and 10 year German government bond futures, 5 year and 10 year US treasury futures). The Sub-Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in fixed income securities and Money Market Instruments issued or guaranteed by an entity.
