Investment Profile

Sauren Global Defensiv is a conservative asset management fund of funds. As a modern multi-asset-strategy, it offers an overall management solution to cover the conservative investment segment.

The long term goal is attractive positive performance of over 3 % p.a. in euro, with low volatility.

The broadly diversified and overall defensively structured portfolio is invested in equity funds, bond funds and absolute return funds, among other assets. The broad diversification, covering not only traditional asset classes such as bonds and equities but also absolute return modules, allows Sauren Global Defensiv to be managed as a modern multi-asset-strategy.

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 6,000 meetings. Every year, meetings are held with around 350 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 Defensiv A as at 20.04.2018

The Investor would like to buy shares for 1,000.-- € and due to a 3.00 % front-end load the total payable amount rises to 1,030.-- €. 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.

1: For those share classes for which “Distribution” is indicated under “Dividend Policy”, the intention is to only distribute the potentially low taxable portion of the positive income pursuant to German tax law. However, for unit class 3F “Distribution (fixed at 3% p.a.)” is indicated since, regardless of income and performance, 3% of the net asset value at the financial year-end for the unit class is distributed. The tax treatment is also dependent on the personal circumstances of the individual investor and may be subject to change in future.

2: The fund management fee in percent reported here also includes the remuneration of the investment advisor.

3: From this fee, the management company as well as the central administration agent and the custodian are paid.

Opportunities1

  • Participation in the appreciation of the different asset classes.
  • The long term goal is attractive positive performance of over 3 % p. a. in euro, with low volatility.
  • Excess return over market average due to successful fund manager selection.
  • Continuous optimisation of the portfolio through active fund of funds management and continuous monitoring of portfolio positions.

Risks1

  • Risk of decrease in unit price due to general market risks (e.g. price, currency or liquidity risks).
  • Risks from the target funds selected for the fund of funds and the investment universe in the markets for equities, bonds, currencies or derivatives.
  • Risks of increased fluctuations in the unit price due to possible use of derivatives.
  • Specific risks of absolute return strategies (e.g. from derivatives).
  • Risks that the investment policy goals of the fund of funds or target fund are not achieved.

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.
