Investment Profile
Sauren Global Balanced is a fund of funds with a balanced asset management approach. As a modern multi-asset strategy, it offers a broadly diversified portfolio for investors with a long-term investment horizon.
Sauren Global Balanced invests mainly in other funds; such as equity, absolute return, and fixed-income funds. The broad diversification covering not only traditional asset classes such as bonds and equities but also absolute return modules allows Sauren Global Balanced to be managed as a modern multi-asset-strategy. You will find detailed information about the investment opportunities in the current valid prospectus.
The choice of funds follows Sauren’s established person-related investment philosophy "We invest in fund managers – not funds", with its focus on the skills of the fund managers. The environment for volume is also analysed in detail.
Analysis of the most promising fund managers draws on experience from over 7,000 meetings. Every year, meetings are held with around 300 fund managers to monitor the quality of the selected fund managers and generate a steady stream of new and attractive investment ideas.

Performance
Performance of Sauren Global Balanced A as at 08.12.2022
The Investor would like to buy shares for 1,000.-- € and due to a 5.00% front-end load the total payable amount rises to 1,050.-- €. The gross performance (BVI method) is based on the published redemption prices of the Fund of Funds, which includes all costs incurred at the fund level (e.g. management fee), the net performance also includes the front-end load. The front-end load is only payable at the day of investment and therefore reduces the performance in the first year. In the following years no front-end load is considered, as such the net performance is not displayed in the bar chart as it is equal to the gross performance. Additional costs may be incurred at the investor level (e.g. custody costs). If the front-end load were taken into account in the line chart the performance in the chart would be lower.
TDue to its composition / the techniques used for its management, the fund is exposed to increased volatility; this means that unit prices may be subject to considerable upward and downward fluctuations, even within short periods of time.
* The chart shows the performance achieved under the same investment conditions of a unit class launched in 1999 of a fund previously existing in a different legal form until December 31, 2021. The Unit class is that of a fund that previously held another legal form, but was adapted in 2014 to meet European requirements for the funds business and has been UCITS-compliant since then.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Risk and reward profile (in the meaning of the KIID/Wesentliche Anlegerinformationen)2
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
Risk class (Assessment of the sales agent)3
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
1: Comprehensive information regarding opportunities and risks can be found in the current sales prospectus (which is available in German only).
2: The risk and reward profile uses a ratio based on volatilities (see the KIID/Wesentliche Anlegerinformationen). This risk indicator relies on historical data and cannot be used as a basis upon which to forecast future performance. 1 represents low risk and a potentially lower reward and 7 stands for high risk and a potentially higher reward.
3: The sales agent’s risk class assessment is not the same as the risk profile in the sales prospectus and the risk and reward profile in the KIID (Wesentliche Anlegerinformationen) and is carried out from the point of view of an investor whose base currency is the same as that of the share class. 1 stands for low risk, 7 for high risk. For example, an investor operating from the euro area who wishes to invest in the CHF share class must consider that the investment will also be subject to a currency risk.
ESG-Scoring
The Sauren ESG scoring process is designed to indicate the extent to which sustainability aspects are taken into account. You can find further information on Sauren’s ESG here.
Explanations of Sauren ESG-Scoring
The proprietary Sauren ESG scoring process is applied to all target funds. The process seeks to determine the extent to which the manager of a target fund includes environmental aspects, social aspects and principles of sustainable corporate governance (ESG) in their investment decisions, without the result having a direct impact on investment decisions at the fund of funds level. The ESG scoring process is not designed to serve as a seal of quality. Rather, it is aimed at raising awareness of ESG criteria and their inclusion amongst target fund managers. You can find further information on Sauren’s ESG here.
