The fund is actively managed. The fund is managed in reference to a benchmark. The objective of the investment policy is to achieve capital appreciation that exceeds the benchmark (MSCI EM Latin America 10/40 Index (EUR)). In order to achieve this, the fund invests primarily in equities of issuers that have their registered office in Latin America or conduct their principal business activity in Latin America or which, as holding companies, hold primarily interests in companies registered in Latin America. The selection of individual investments is at the discretion of the fund management. The return of the product is reflected by the daily calculated net asset value per unit and the distribution amount if applicable. The majority of the fund's securities or their issuers are not expected to be components of the benchmark. The fund management will use its discretion to invest in securities and sectors that are not included in the benchmark in order to take advantages of specific investment opportunities. The portfolio is not necessarily expected to have a similar weighting to the benchmark. In regard to its benchmark, the sub-fund positioning can deviate significantly (e.g. by a positioning outside of the benchmark as well as a significant underweighting or overweighting) and the actual degree of freedom is typically relatively high. A deviation generally reflects the fund manager’s evaluation of the specific market situation, which may lead to a defensive and closer or a more active and wider positioning compared to the benchmark. Despite the fact that the fund aims to outperform the benchmark, the potential outperformance might be limited depending on the prevailing market environment (e.g. less volatile market environment) and actual positioning versus the benchmark.
