E-Mail: [email protected] Page 2 / 6 Legal Disclaimer Opportunities In accordance with the investment policy. Risks • The fund invests its assets in selected regions or sectors. This increases the risk that the fund may be negatively influenced by the economic and political conditions in the respective regions or sectors.• The fund invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and thus also to the risk of price decreases.• The fund invests in equities of smaller companies. Equities of smaller companies are generally subject to higher price fluctuations than blue-chips. The reasons for this include their lower liquidity due to their lower market capitalization and smaller trading volume. As a result, equities or units of smaller companies may be more difficult to buy or sell than those of larger companies.• Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has significantly elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Investor profile: Risk-tolerant The Fund is intended for the risk-tolerant investor who, in seeking investments that offer targeted opportunities to maximize returns, can tolerate the unavoidable, and occasionally substaintial, fluctuations in the values of speculative investments. The high risks from volatility, as well as high credit risks, make it probable that the fund will lose value from time to time, and expectations of high returns and tolerance of risk are offset by the possibility of incurring significant losses of capital invested.
