The Fund is classified as a financial product under Article 8 of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. The Fund promotes environmental or social characteristics but does not have a sustainable investment objective. The Fund integrates ESG factors and risk in the investment process alongside traditional factors. Detailed information on the sustainability related disclosures of the Fund can be found in the Template Pre-contractual disclosure (annex of the prospectus) on https://am.gs.com/en-int/advisors/funds. The objective of the fund is to realize long-term capital growth by investing mainly in a diversified portfolio of equities listed and traded on regulated Central European exchanges. The fund invests on stock exchanges in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania and to a lesser degree in Austria, Greece, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Croatia and Slovenia. The fund uses active management to target the most promising companies in the Central European markets, with stock and country deviation limits monitored relative to the benchmark. Measured over a period of several years we aim to beat the performance of the benchmark 45% Warsaw (WIG30) TR, 35% Prague (PX) TR, 10% Budapest (BUX) TR and 10% Bucharest (BET) TR. The benchmark is a broad representation of our investment universe. The fund may also include investments into securities that are not part of the benchmark universe. Investors should be aware that the benchmark’s investment universe is concentrated and, as a result, the fund is concentrated. This will typically result in a comparable composition and return profile of the Fund and its benchmark. You can sell your participation in this fund on each (working) day on which the value of the units is calculated, which for this fund occurs daily. The fund does not aim to provide you with a dividend. It will reinvest all earnings.
