The investment policy has been reworded as follows:
“This Sub-fund shall invest globally and shall invest a minimum of two-thirds of its total assets (after deduction of cash) in equities, other equity shares such as co-operative shares and participation certificates (equities and equity rights), dividend-right certificates, warrants on equities and equity rights.

This Sub-fund may invest up to one-third of its total assets world wide in bonds and other debt instruments denominated in various currencies and warrants on bonds.

Within the above-mentioned restrictions and the Company’s general investment restrictions, this Sub-fund will invest its assets in companies world wide offering the best potential for generating stable returns over a long-term horizon. The main focus will be equities with stable historical financial figures and with low or fair valuation.

This Sub-fund may accessorily hold liquid assets in all currencies in which investments are effected as well as in the currency of its respective share Class(es) and/or Sub-class(es).

For this Sub-fund the use of derivatives is limited to efficient portfolio management within the limits imposed by the investment restrictions of the Company. “

The Sub-fund shall focus on corporate bonds issued by companies which are domiciled or exercise the predominant part of their economic activity in Europe.”

“The Sub-fund may as well enter into derivative contracts for the purpose of reducing the duration of its portfolio or for the purpose of bringing the portfolio’s duration closer to that of the Sub-fund’s reference index. Such derivative contracts will then typically include bond futures or bond index futures, where the underlying assets may not be limited to corporate bonds.”
