AREA OF INVESTMENT
Primarily bonds denominated in euro or foreign currencies issued by companies in the European Union or OECD countries.
INVESTOR PROFILE
The type of investments employed by the fund makes it suitable for investors with a medium risk tolerance and a medium-to-long holding period.
MANAGEMENT STYLE
The portfolio is managed actively and dynamically and may involve significant deviance from the benchmark.
The investment philosophy focuses on macroeconomic research concerning growth expectations, consumer price dynamics, input prices, and the goals and interventions of central banks in the area of monetary policy in order to determine allocation by geographic area and currency. The analysis of the interest-rate structure and the corporate sector represents an important supporting element.
Technical analysis is employed on a complementary basis.
Returns are expressed net of tax expenses, excluding commissions.
Past returns are not indicative of future performance. Benchmark figures are prepared by considering the reinvestment of coupons and/or dividends.
(*)The management fee is calculated daily on the basis of the net asset value of each sub-fund of the SICAV and/or Fund and is deducted from the latter with a value date of the last day of stock exchange trading in each quarter.
