AREA OF INVESTMENT
Equities listed on primary markets.
INVESTOR PROFILE
Stock market volatility may lead to temporary decreases in the value of investment. As a consequence, the type of investments employed by the international equity sub-fund makes it suitable for investors with a high risk tolerance and a 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 an analysis of fundamentals at both the macroeconomic level (i.e., in order to determine allocation by geographical area and currency) and the industry and company levels. As a result, decisions are taken after conducting research into income prospects, valuation levels, cash flow analysis, and risk control. 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.
