Overview

Investment Policy

The sub-fund invests primarily in stocks and other equity-like securities, diversified across various sectors and regions. The sub-fund invests in stocks and other equity-like securities of companies operating in developed markets (Europe, the U.S., and Japan), and may also invest in companies operating in emerging markets.

In addition, the sub-fund may also invest in time deposits, money market instruments, and/or UCITS. The sub-fund may invest in UCITS (UCITS and/or other UCITS), either to pursue its primary investment policy or to invest its liquid assets, in which case the sub-fund invests in (i) money market UCITS and/or (ii) UCIs that invest in debt securities with a remaining maturity at the time of acquisition of no more than twelve months and/or whose interest rate is adjusted at least once a year. The sub-fund may, within the limits of the law, invest in derivative financial instruments, such as, among others, futures, options, forward currency contracts, credit default swaps, or interest rate swaps, in order to achieve its investment objectives and hedge risks.

 

Target Audience

The Subfund is suitable for retail and institutional investors who view an investment fund as an easy way to participate in developments in the financial markets. It is also suitable for more experienced investors who wish to achieve specific investment objectives with an investment horizon of more than 5 years.

Investment Objective

The sub-fund’s objective is to provide investors, through an actively managed portfolio, to provide long-term capital appreciation on their investment. This objective will be achieved by investing the sub-fund’s assets primarily in stocks and other equity-like securities, without geographical restrictions.

Risks

For information on the risks associated with this product, please refer to the Key Information Document (KID), which you can find on this page in the "Documents" section.  

You should also be aware of currency risk. You may receive payments in a currency other than the reference currency, so the final return you receive will depend on the exchange rate between the two currencies. This risk is not taken into account in the risk indicator used in the key information document. The sub-fund may also be exposed to other risk factors not included in the summary risk indicator. Because this product is not protected against future market performance, you may lose all or part of your investment. If we are unable to pay you what is due to you, you may lose your entire investment.
