Performance
Performance of Sauren Global Balanced A as at 15.06.2018
Reference index: until 30. November 2004 60 % EURO STOXX 50 Kursindex and 40 % REX Performance Index; from 1. Dezember 2004 50 % REX Performance Index, 25 % MSCI World Kursindex in Euro und 25 % EURO STOXX 50 Kursindex. A Price Index (only considers the price of the components and) does not take dividends or other earnings into account. Rebalancing every year at 31.12.
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.
The fund is subject to heightened volatility, due to composition. Consequently, unit price may fluctuate sharply in either direction within short periods of time.
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.
