IQAM ShortTerm EUR RA/  AT0000857768  /

The goal of the fund is to obtain higher rates of interest than on the money market for a short to medium-term investment horizon. To achieve this aim, the fund primarily invests in bonds and money market instruments which are issued or guaranteed by EEA member states or their units of government or are issued by supranational issuers. Corporate bonds and money market instruments are limited to 70 per cent of the fund assets. The maximum average duration (unit measuring the risk of price changes caused by interest rate fluctuations) is 1.25 years. It is principally true that the higher the duration, the higher the risk of price fluctuations caused by changes in interest rates. The average residual maturity of the portfolio is a maximum of 3 years, while the maximum residual maturity for an individual investment may not exceed 5 years. For variable interest investments, the residual maturity is calculated on the basis of the next due date for an adjustment of the interest rate. Investments in financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies are not permissible. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes. Besides the Austrian Investment Fund Act and the fund regulations, the fund is also managed pursuant to § 25 of the Austrian Pension Fund Act, § 14 of the Austrian Income Tax Act and § 25 (10) of the Austrian Banking Act.
