Pure Conviction European Equities - IC An equity fund This information is valid at 18/12/2024

A diversified portfolio of international equities that are selected for their “value” characteristics, with no reference to a benchmark.

“Companies that generate a lot of cash flow are only of any real interest to a long-term investor if they are able to reinvest a considerable proportion of this cash in new technologies and other growth projects that will sustain their capacity to generate future earnings and cash flows. The definition of what constitutes a “value company” for the Sub-Fund is based on two things ― its capacity to generate a lot of cash flow, and its capacity to use this surplus cash effectively for growth investments.”

Investment objective and policy

This sub-fund’s objective is to maximize the return of investments in European equity markets.

The sub-fund will have a high level of diversification and may invest in all types of equities without any restrictions in terms of market capitalization, geographical zones, sectors, etc.

Under normal market conditions, the sub-fund will invest at least 55% of its net assets in the equities of companies that are domiciled or do most of their business in a European country.

Equities are carefully selected for their so-called “value” characteristics. The investment manager may also make highly selective and opportunistic investments in companies that have more of a growth profile

The investment manager may also choose to invest, to a lesser extent, in the equities of companies that are domiciled in or do most of their business in Central and Eastern Europe (e.g. Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States), and also in the Mediterranean Basin (e.g. Turkey, Israel, Egypt and Morocco). The sub-fund is actively managed with no reference to benchmark.

The sub-fund is classified as Article 6 under SFDR regulation. The sub-fund does not consider principal adverse impacts on sustainability factors.

Investor profile

The sub-fund is intended for all investors who are looking for opportunities in European equity markets.

Investors much have a long-term investment horizon of at least five years.

The Summary Risk Indicator (SRI), in accordance with the Key Information Document (PRIIPS-KID), allows the level of risk of this product to be assessed in relation to others. It indicates the likelihood of losses in the event of market movements or the sub-fund's inability to pay you. This indicator ranks the risk on a scale of 1 to 7. A low score indicates lower risk but potentially lower return. A higher score will lead to higher risk but potentially higher return.

The level of risk indicated is not a guarantee and may change over time. It also assumes that you keep the product for 5 years. The risk may be significantly different if you sell the product at an early stage and you may get a lower return.

Main risks

• “Equity” risk. The price of an equity security may vary, sometimes due to factors that have nothing to do with the company’s intrinsic value. Equity prices may be affected by economic factors and market conditions, such as a general decrease in share prices or conditions that affect one or more specific issuers, such as changes in earnings forecasts.
• Exchange rate risk. The risk that the exchange rate of a given currency may vary with respect to that of another currency over the near or medium term.
• Credit risk. An issuer may be unable to meet its obligations. If an issuer’s solvency position deteriorates, the value of the issuer’s bonds or of derivative instruments that are linked to this issuer may decrease.
• Counterparty risk. The sub-fund may suffer losses if a counterparty defaults and is unable to meet its obligations, particularly if the transaction with the counterparty involves over-the-counter derivatives.
• Liquidity risk. The sub-fund invests in markets which may be adversely affected by a decrease in liquidity. These market conditions may affect the price at which the asset manager buys or sells a given security.
• The risk of using certain financial techniques. The use of complex products, such as derivative contracts, may amplify changes in the price of the sub-fund’s securities.
• Discretionary management risk. Since the investment strategy is based on projected changes in the various markets, there is a risk that the sub-fund may not be invested in the best-performing markets at any one time.
• Operational risk. The risk of an error or wrongdoing on the part of a party involved in the management, valuation and/or custody of the sub-fund’s assets.
• Sustainability risk. Uncertain social or environmental event or condition that, if it occurs, can cause significant negative impact on the sub-fund’s assets.
