AZ Allocation - Trend B-AZ FUND (ACC)/  LU2168564149  /

The Sub-fund's investment objective is to achieve long-term capital growth. The Sub-fund aims to achieve its investment objective by actively managing a portfolio primarily made up of equities issued by companies worldwide. Equity exposure is actively managed and depends on, among other factors, the overall valuation of the equity markets. The lower the valuation of equity markets, the higher the net exposure to equities, and vice versa. Although the Sub-fund will normally be primarily - if not wholly - invested in equities, the portfolio manager may reduce or even eliminate the equity component of the portfolio and invest exclusively in money market instruments and debt securities during periods when, in the opinion of the portfolio manager, there are not sufficient opportunities to invest in equities with attractive returns, because the valuations of equity markets are high and/or in the event of negative macroeconomic developments. The Sub-fund invests up to 100% of its net assets in equities issued by companies worldwide, including up to 10% of its net assets in emerging countries. As a result of the use of derivatives, the fund's overall exposure to equities may be as high as 130% of its net assets. In the circumstances described above, the Sub-fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in debt securities and money market instruments issued by issuers of developed countries. The Sub-fund invests up to 10% of its net assets in debt securities and money market instruments with a sub-investment grade rating at the time of purchase.
