Investment Manager<br />
The assets and investments of the Fund are managed by <strong>ANIMA</strong> Asset Management Ltd. as Investment<br />
Manager.<br />
Investment Objective and Policies<br />
The Fund is being primarily structured as a fund giving a return to investors at the Maturity Date. The<br />
investment objective is therefore as set out in the section headed “After the Subscription Period and up to<br />
Maturity Date”. The reason for having a Subscription Period is to have a short time period during which<br />
the Fund will accept subscriptions and invest them in a manner designed to preserve capital while at the<br />
same time allowing for some capital appreciation without limiting the Fund to bonds maturing in 2017.<br />
After the Subscription Period subscriptions are no longer accepted.<br />
The Fund will never invest in emerging markets, nor will it invest in equities.<br />
During the Subscription Period<br />
During the Subscription Period, the objective of the Fund will be to seek to provide capital preservation<br />
and appreciation. The Investment Manager will seek to achieve this objective through investment on a<br />
global basis mainly in Euro Money Market Instruments, in Euro Debt Instruments and Non-Euro Debt<br />
Instruments, in each case listed or traded on a Recognised Exchange.<br />
The Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in Euro Money Market Instruments and/or Euro Debt<br />
Instruments and/or Non-Euro Debt Instruments, in each case being of investment grade or better at the<br />
time of investment or, if un-rated, being, in the opinion of the Investment Manager, of comparable quality.<br />
Subsequent to its purchase by the Fund, a security may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced<br />
below investment grade. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in securities/instruments of<br />
below investment grade or which are un-rated at the time of purchase. Where an instrument ceases to be<br />
rated or its rating is reduced to below investment grade, the Investment Manager will consider such event<br />
in determining whether the Fund should continue to hold the security.<br />
The Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in convertible bonds which embed derivatives and up to<br />
10% of its net assets in warrants.<br />
In any event, the Fund’s combined exposure to debt or debt related instruments (i) convertibles<br />
(regardless of an instrument’s rating) and (ii) non-convertibles but having a rating of below investment<br />
grade, will not exceed 30% of net assets.<br />
Instruments purchased by the Fund may be denominated in any currencies. As the aim of the Fund is to<br />
provide a return in Euro, exposure to non-Euro currencies will generally be hedged. Accordingly, the<br />
Fund will maintain a low exposure to non-Euro denominated currencies.<br />
