DOCUMENT INTENDED EXCLUSIVELY FOR PROFESSIONAL CLIENTS (IN ACCORDANCE WITH MIFID)

Benefit from active management of Eurozone sovereign bonds

Fund Highlights

• Invests exclusively in supranational and government bonds issued or guaranteed by Eurozone countries

• Seeks to add value through security selection, yield curve positioning, active management of modified duration and diversification with inflation-linked bonds

• Implements a qualitative and opportunistic approach to investing in Eurozone sovereign debt, but also relies on in-house quantitative analysis

• Relies on the Sovereign Debt Selection sector team’s analysis of each Eurozone country and maturity segment to multiply the sources of performance

Why choose this fund?Ostrum Souverains Euro seeks to take advantage of all alpha drivers present in the Eurozone government bond market through an active, conviction-based, cautious and opportunistic investment approach.

Opportunities within the Eurozone sovereign debt universe Eurozone government bonds generally have a lower risk profile than that of corporate debt issued in the same area and each country within the area has a different profile, with varying levels of indebtedness, growth and inflation. These differences translate into different borrowing rates from country to country. Moreover, the differences in yield and risk among Eurozone government bonds represent sources of performance for bond funds.

Experienced investment management team The Fund is managed by a highly-experienced team of portfolio managers averaging 20 years of experience focused on generating alpha across all segments of the government bond, interest rate and inflation markets.

Active management focused on exploiting different sources of added value • Country selection and allocation on the yield curve: Based on their expectations for fluctuating borrowing rates, the management team selects securities while paying particular attention to the choice of country issuers as well as to its maturity date, which determines yield. This choice is all the more critical as the number of issuer countries is limited.

• Duration: depending on its expectations on interest rate trends, the investment team defines a modified duration target range of between 3 and 9.

• Diversification: The Fund may also invest in inflation-linked bonds issued by Eurozone countries as a source of diversification.

RISKS: The Fund invests primarily in Eurozone fixed income securities. Fixed income investments are typically sensitive to changes in interest rates, and the Fund could lose value when interest rates of Eurozone countries rise. The Fund is subject to specific risks, including credit risk and investment management technics-related impact risk, including futures. An investor’s capital will be at risk; you may get back less than you invested. Please refer to the full prospectus for additional details on risks.

Investment process A robust investment process combining top-down and bottom-up approaches, through a three-stage investment process:1. Idea generation The investment management team relies on Ostrum Asset Management’s macro-economic scenario as well as on the outcomes from the various Specialist Committees (inflation, interest rates) and Sector Team in order to establish a directional view on the market trends and seek to select the best securities within the Euro sovereign debt universe.2. Model portfolio committee The investment management team constructs a model portfolio by optimizing the risk allocation and translating views into strategies. 3. Final portfolio The Portfolio Manager has individual pre-defined leeway for each strategy.
