AFFM S.A. European Opportunities

The objective of the portfolio is to provide capital growth and to enable investors to benefit from growth in the European equity market, primarily through dynamic investment in a growth/value style biased portfolio of equity securities of undervalued European companies with a high growth potential. This share class is a relative return fund implying a medium tolerance to risk, with the objective to realise a relative net performance over the MSCI Europe Index (EUR). The Share class will invest at least 75% of its net assets in equities and equity related securities issued by companies that are headquartered in Europe, or conduct the preponderant part of their activity in Europe. At least 90% of its net assets (excluding cash, derivatives or any such non-applicable instruments) will promote E/S characteristics according to the investment process and to the ESG policy of the Investment Manager Alken Asset Management Ltd. The Sub-Fund’s investment process is supported by a proprietary investment model which combines financial and non-financial analysis. Covering the four key ESG themes: environment, social, governance and human rights, the responsible investing approach is based on global criteria with quantitative and qualitative rating, recommendations and ranking of the companies, irrespective of their sectors, capitalizations, or financial ratings. The responsible investing approach assessment is based both on the asset manager’s proprietary ESG analysis and on information gathered from external ESG providers. The portfolio will contain a limited selection of securities considered as offering the greatest potential. Selection will comprise a mixture of growth and value stocks believed to have the potential to provide enhanced returns relative to the market. Growth stocks are those whose earnings are expected to grow faster than the average for the market, whereas value stocks, on the other hand, are inexpensive compared with the earnings or assets of the companies that issue them, often because they are in a mature or depressed industry, or because the company has suffered a setback. The Share class will hold a diversified portfolio composed of securities in listed companies. These securities may consist of ordinary or preferred shares, convertible bonds, and to a lesser extent, structured products and financial derivative instruments (such as options, warrants, contracts for difference) having as underlying or offering an exposure to assets referred above. For hedging and for efficient management purposes, within the limits set out in the prospectus of the Fund, the share class may use all types of financial derivative instruments traded on a regulated market and/or over the counter (OTC) provided they are contracted with leading financial institutions specialized in this type of transactions and subject to regulatory supervision.
