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 />
