The Product"s management strategy is discretionary and opportunistic. It takes positions on the bond, equity and currency markets. The Product"s objective is to seek absolute performance, decorrelated over the recommended investment period, on the main international equity and bond markets. In the context of its management, the UCITS" target volatility will be 2% and may reach a maximum of 3%. The Product is managed actively, which means that the Manager makes investment decisions in line with the Product"s investment policy with a view to achieving the Product"s objectives. This active-management process entails taking decisions regarding the selection of assets, regional allocations, sectoral views and overall market exposure. The Manager is in no way limited by the composition of the benchmark index in the positioning of the portfolio, and the Product may not hold all the components of the benchmark index, or even any of the components in question at all. The fund may diverge wholly or significantly from the benchmark index or, occasionally, very little. The Product may invest up to 100% of its net assets in debt securities issued by member states of the OECD or the European Union without restriction as to their maturity and rating, and up to 100% of its net assets in public debt securities issued by emerging countries outside the OECD and the European Union without restriction as to their maturity and rated Investment Grade (rating higher than or equal to BBB- according to Standard & Poor"s or equivalent, or with an equivalent internal rating awarded by the Management Company). Exposure to private debt securities rated "Investment Grade", including those issued by companies with their registered office in an emerging country, may represent up to 100% of the net assets. The Product may also invest up to 100% in High Yield bonds issued by member states of the OECD or the European Union (speculative securities, with a long-term rating below BBB- and a short-term rating of A3 according to Standard & Poor"s or equivalent, or with an equivalent internal rating from the Management Company). In contrast, investments in High Yield bonds issued by private sector companies may not account for more than 25% of the net assets, as is the case for High Yield bonds issued by emerging countries outside the OECD and the European Union. Total investment in High Yield category debt issued by private sector companies and emerging countries outside the OECD and the European Union may not exceed 30% of net assets. The ESG investment universe is composed of Investment Grade or High Yield public and private debt securities, issued by developed and emerging countries, as well as international equity. The management company may select securities from outside this ESG universe. However, it will ensure that the chosen ESG universe offers a relevant comparison for the Product"s ESG rating. Rating is not the sole criterion for selecting the securities. It is mainly based on an internal analysis. Prior to each investment decision, the Management Company analyses each security on criteria other than its rating. In the event that an issuer in the High Yield category has their rating downgraded, the Management Company must conduct a detailed analysis in order to decide whether to sell or retain the security, provided that the rating objective is respected. The Product"s exposure range to the equity markets will be between -10% and +15% of its net assets. The Product may invest up to 40% of its net assets in securities issued in currencies other than the euro. In the interest of efficient portfolio management and without deviating from its investment objectives, the Product may enter into reverse repurchase agreements involving eligible financial securities or money market instruments, subject to a limit of 100% of its net assets. With a view to achieving the management objective or hedging the assets, the manager may use financial contracts (including but not limited to futures, options, forward contracts, swaps including credit derivatives, etc.). Exposure of the Product to currency risk will be limited to a maximum of 40% of its net assets. The Product"s sensitivity may fluctuate between -2 and +4.
