RISK AND REWARD PROFILE
This risk level is mainly explained as follows:
The fluctuation of stocks due to possible sudden
and/or prolonged fall of the financial markets.
Intensive use of derivatives traded on an official
market or over the counter, which may amplify the
fluctuations in the market value of the underlying
asset.
Concentration in a particular geographic area.
Investment in bonds and other credit instruments,
the value and return of which could be affected by
fluctuations in interest rates, as well as by market
perception of the quality of the borrower.
This indicator is deemed to reflect the level of risk of
the fund. It can vary from 1 to 7 depending on the
weekly upward and downward fluctuations of the
portfolio over the last 5 years. The level 1 on the scale
does not mean that the portfolio is risk-free. However,
this indicator is based on historic data and therefore
does not guarantee the level of future risk of the fund.
Neither is this risk level an investment objective for
the fund and therefore it could vary over time.
Level 3 equates to an average fluctuation variance of
between 2% and 5%, according to the calculation
method described above.

This indicator does not take into account the
following risks:
Credit risk: risk that, at a fixed maturity, the
borrower will be unable to meet its obligations
towards the fund.
Liquidity risk: risk linked to the difficulty of selling
a portfolio investment on the market, preventing it
from being traded under optimum conditions..
Counterparty risk: risk that the counterparty will
be unable to execute its financial obligations
under the terms of the contract (such as fixed term
deposits) or the transaction (such as financial
derivatives traded over the counter) in which it is
involved.
Operational risk: risk of loss for the fund linked to
human or technical error, inadequate internal
procedures or control systems.
Specific risks linked to the possible use of
derivatives (financial instruments whose valuation
is based on the value of another asset).

fund, please see the full prospectus, available at the

MARKET ENVIRONMENTS
October 2015 15 11/
WHEN CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT?
Prices and earnings decoupling : rare but negative
Market rotations generally do not occur in «normal» market conditions
Why decoupling happened : Extra low yields compression pushed investors
towards a yield replacement trade more than offsetting earnings decline
Decoupling generate rotations :
Contraction of earnings expectations because of significant economic slowdown in some countries or sectors
Rising equity markets despite earnings contraction
Past 4 years rotations explained by
Expected recovery in domestic economies & temporary strong performance of domestic businesses (Financials, Utilities,..)
Significant rotations are unlikely when earnings and price directions are coupled
