AREA OF INVESTMENT
Short and medium-term equities and bonds with a portfolio duration between six months and five years.
INVESTOR PROFILE
Stock and bond market volatility may lead to temporary decreases in the value of investment. As a consequence, the type of investments employed by the sub-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 aimed at determining the weight of the equity and bond components. The investment philosophy for the equity component of the portfolio focuses on an analysis of fundamentals, at both the macroeconomic 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. The bond component of the portfolio is managed through particular attention towards macroeconomic research in the areas of growth and inflation expectations and the goals and interventions of central banks in the area of monetary policy. 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.

(*)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.
