This means that a sub-fund's aggregate liabilities can be doubled at most through the use of derivative financial instruments. A sub-fund's aggregate liabilities are therefore capped at 200%. To calculate the aggregate liabilities, the positions in derivative financial instruments are converted into equivalent positions on the underlying assets. The aggregate liabilities of the derivative financial instruments are limited to 100% of the portfolio and therefore equate to the sum of the individual liabilities after netting or hedging. The following sub-funds determine their risk profile in accordance with the commitment approach: Julius Baer Multistock - AFRICA FOCUS FUND AGRICULTURE FUND (as at 18 December 2014: merger into Julius Baer Multistock - NATURAL RESOURCES FUND) ASIA FOCUS FUND CHINA EVOLUTION FUND EASTERN EUROPE FOCUS FUND EMERGING EQUITY FUND (launched on 25 February 2015) ENERGY TRANSITION FUND EURO LARGE CAP STOCK FUND EUROLAND VALUE STOCK FUND EUROPE FOCUS FUND EUROPE SMALL & MID CAP STOCK FUND GERMAN VALUE STOCK FUND GLOBAL EMERGING MARKETS STOCK FUND (as at 25 June 2015: merger into Julius Baer Multistock - EMERGING EQUITY FUND) GLOBAL
