  • Corporate Governance
    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ams AG (“ams”) is a stock corporation under Austrian law listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange in Switzerland and subject to the compulsory regulations of the SIX Swiss Exchange’s directive con- cerning information on corporate governance (“Swiss Corporate Governance Directive”). The Swiss Corporate Governance Directive is available at https://www.ser-ag.com/en/topics/corporate-re- porting.html. This chapter also contains the Corporate Governance report information according to the stipulations of Austrian law as far as applicable to ams. In this context, ams points out that Austrian Corporate Law differs from the Swiss model in terms of the structure of its corporate bodies, their duties and their accountability. Hereinafter, the Austrian terms for the corporate bodies will be used. Corporations that are not constituted according to the Swiss Code of Obligations are required correspondingly to meet the regulations of the Swiss Corporate Governance Directive, which is formulated in close correspondence with the Swiss Code of Obligations. Consequently, there follows a brief description of the particular features of the Austrian organizational structure: – The Management Board is responsible for the management and representation of the company. It is not subject to instructions by the shareholders or the Supervisory Board, acting rather on its own responsibility and without instructions. Where the Swiss Corporate Governance Directive calls for information on the Executive Board, corresponding details on the Management Board are provided. Nevertheless, the function of the Management Board does not cor- respond exactly with that of the Executive Board under Swiss law. – The Supervisory Board is in charge of appointing and dismissing the Management Board and, in particular, supervising it in its man- agement of the business.

Source of fund performance is Fidelity. Basis: nav-nav with income reinvested, in CHF, net of fees. Other share classes may be available. Please refer to the prospectus for more details. Fund Index Market Environment European equity markets continued to rise in August, driven by strong quarterly earnings and optimism over an economic recovery, supported by high rates of vaccination. At the annual Jackson Hole Symposium, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that the central bank is in no rush to tighten its monetary policy. However, gains were capped as data showed that inflation surged to a 10-year high in August, and that further rises were likely, challenging the European Central Bank's (ECB) benign view on price growth. Consumer prices saw an increase of 3% this month (2.2% in July), well above the ECB’s target of 2%, fuelled by rising costs of energy, food and industrial goods. However, the ECB argues that the majority of the inflation increase can be attributed to supply chain constraints and should ease by early next year. There were increased uncertainties surrounding the ECB’s next steps regarding the future of its asset purchase programme, as differences over when to relax stimulus measures grew within the governing council.
