Fund Investment Objective and Policy
♦ The objective of the Fund, in a long-term perspective, is to provide sponsors, members and contributors with capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of global shares and bonds. The Fund is suitable for investors willing to accept modest risks to seek higher long-term returns (low to medium risk profile). Investment performance and returns may go down as well as up.
♦ The composition of the Fund's portfolio shall take into account the following core objectives and the respective allocation ranges for each asset class described below:
In addition to directly held shares, the class of shares includes the convertible bonds or bonds with entitlement to the subscription of shares, any other instruments that allow exposure to the equity markets, including participation shares of investment funds whose majority investments are made up by shares.
In addition to directly held bonds, whether of fixed or floating rate, the class of bonds includes any other instruments that allow exposure to bond markets, including shares of investment funds whose majority investment are made up by bonds.
The limits defined for the Fund's investments may be defaulted if such a breach is carried out in a passive manner, in particular by valuation or devaluation of financial assets or by inflows and outflows of capital, or if it is justified by high volatility in financial markets advising the use of the class of liquidity (including bank deposits and money market instruments) as a refuge, which should be delimited within a reasonable period of time.
