January 25, 1989 for an unlimited period as a société anonyme (public limited <strong>com</strong>pany), governed by Part I of the Luxembourg law of<br />
December 20, 2002 on undertakings for collective investment.<br />
The Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company were published in the Mémorial, Recueil Spécial des Sociétés et<br />
Associations du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg and filed with the Registry of the Luxembourg District Court where they may be<br />
consulted and copies may be obtained upon payment of Registry fees.<br />

2- PRINCIPAL ACCOUNT<strong>ING</strong> METHODS<br />
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and regulations in force in<br />
Luxembourg.<br />
Currency conversion<br />
The financial statements have been drawn up in the accounting currency of each sub-fund. Assets and liabilities expressed in currencies<br />
other than the accounting currency of each sub-fund are converted into that currency at the exchange rate prevailing as at the closing<br />
date.<br />
Securities valuation<br />
The securities admitted to an official listing or to any other regulated market are valued at the last known prices. If these securities are<br />
traded on several markets, the valuation is made on the basis of the last known price on the main market on which the securities are<br />
listed.<br />
Securities not listed or not traded on a stock exchange or on any other regulated market and securities listed or traded on such a market<br />
but whose last known price is not representative, are valued with prudence and in good faith on the basis of their probable realisation<br />
value.<br />
Money market instruments and other short-term securities are valued using the straight-line amortization method provided these<br />
instruments or securities have an initial or residual maturity at the time of their purchase by the Company of less than 12 months and if<br />
it appears that the last known price on the main market for the security in question cannot be considered as representative of the price<br />
of that security.<br />
These instruments and securities are shown at acquisition cost in the securities portfolio, accrued interest calculated through the<br />
straight-line amortization method being included in the item "Other assets" in the statement of net assets and in the item "Interest on<br />
bonds and other debt instruments" in the statement of operations and changes in net Assets.<br />
Investments in open-ended investment funds, either listed or not, are valued on the basis of their last available net asset value per share.<br />

Management's report<br />
Economic developments<br />
In the US, for most of 2007, the cyclical horizon has been clouded by the housing market correction and its increasingly painful<br />
consequences for the financial system. Until recently, however, hard evidence that the shadows of these credit crunch clouds had<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e dark enough to stop the resilient US cycle from shining <strong>com</strong>pletely had been difficult to find. GDP growth had slowed, but<br />
remained likely to average about 2% over the second half of 2007. Other indicators made clear that the underlying dynamic clearly<br />
weakened towards year-end, but both business and consumer spending seemed to be holding on to modest positive growth rates.<br />
Housing investment continued to plunge, but was increasingly <strong>com</strong>pensated for by a strong positive contribution from net exports to<br />
overall GDP growth. Furthermore, important cyclical indicators of the labour market or industrial activity remained well above<br />
recession levels, despite clear signs of softening. During the first quarter of 2008, many macroeconomic data indicated that there was<br />
a growing chance of a recession. Activity indicators for the industrial and services sectors, for instance, showed a faltering activity. In<br />
addition, the unemployment rate was rising and employment opportunities were declining. Higher energy prices, falling housing<br />
prices and less job security clearly weighted on consumer confidence in February. This indicator, as measured by the Conference<br />
Board, fell back to its lowest level since late 1993. The leading indicators, which predict the economic activity for the <strong>com</strong>ing six to<br />
nine months, declined in February for the fifth consecutive month. The last time that these indicators declined during five months in<br />
succession was early 2001, marking the start of the previous recession.<br />
The Eurozone economy grew at a solid pace during the half of 2007. During the summer, the EMU economy has been hit by a<br />
<strong>com</strong>bination of tighter financial conditions and lending standards, higher energy and food prices and an appreciating exchange rate.<br />
Nevertheless, economic momentum was very robust heading into the credit crisis, the balance sheets of corporates and households<br />
were pretty healthy while real interest rates remained historically low. At the end of the year, economic growth also weakened in the<br />
Eurozone. GDP expanded by 0.4% (quarter-on-quarter) during the fourth quarter, against 0.7% in the third quarter. But contrary to<br />
the US, macroeconomic data in the Eurozone showed only a moderate weakening. The confidence indicators, for instance, remained<br />
quite robust. The Ifo Index, Germany’s business climate indicator, edged up in January and February. In addition, a European<br />
Commission survey revealed that employment was still growing at an annual pace of 2%. Moreover, tighter credit conditions have<br />
not triggered any serious decline in credit growth so far: M3 money supply growth was unchanged at 11.1% in December. However,<br />
taking the turbulence on the credit markets, the stronger euro and the rise of the inflation into account, the ECB remained in a “wait<br />
and see” mode and maintained the refi rate at 4% since June.<br />
In Japan, GDP growth hovered around its long-term average during the second quarter of 2007. In the third and the fourth quarter,<br />
the Japanese economy showed surprisingly strong growth. Corporate investments made the largest positive contribution to growth.<br />
This was quite remarkable, because business confidence data and profit margin data had not predicted any such development. This<br />
makes the growth number susceptible to a downward revision, which is not that unusual in Japan. As a result of continuing weak<br />
domestic demand, Japan to a large extent relies on exports. Net exports contributed 0.4 percentage points to GDP growth.<br />
Developments on fixed in<strong>com</strong>e markets<br />
Central banks took advantage of the good performance of equity markets during the first half of 2007 to raise their refirates during<br />
the first months of the reporting period. The Fed made several gradual adjustments of the Fed funds towards more "neutral" levels<br />
(5.25%) while the ECB raised its own refi rate to 4% in June 2007.<br />
Bond yields surged in the second quarter of 2007 in response to monetary tightening and a better-than-expected development of the<br />
US economy.<br />
Mid-July, investors became again extremely cautious to take risks as they were unnerved by the news that several market participants,<br />
including some hedge funds, had run into financial trouble due to the slump on the US housing market. The market feared that more<br />
parties would get into financial distress or, would already face difficulties without the market being aware of it. The suspicion was<br />
heightened by a lack of transparency in several, relatively new financial products (asset backed securities, structured products).<br />

Management's report<br />
The money markets were paralysed as investors were uncertain which banks had incurred losses on the US subprime mortgage<br />
market. A growing risk aversion drove down fixed in<strong>com</strong>e prices, in particular those of the more risky categories, while government<br />
bonds from the developed markets clearly benefited from the market turbulence and also benefited from rate cuts.<br />
In order to restore the confidence on financial markets, the Federal Reserve, the ECB and other central banks injected huge sums of<br />
liquidity into the money markets in August and September. In addition, the Fed lowered its discount rate (the rate at which the central<br />
bank is prepared to lend funds to <strong>com</strong>mercial banks) on 17 August by 50 bp. Afterwards, the US monetary authorities cut the refirate<br />
three times (September, October, December) by 25 basis points and the federal funds rate finished the year at 4.25%. During the first<br />
quarter of 2008, the Fed went to great lengths to calm down the markets, providing massive liquidity support and aggressively<br />
lowering interest rates (by no less than 200 basis points to 2.25%). She also orchestrated the emergency rescue of Bear Stearns, the<br />
fifth investment bank in the US, by JP Morgan.<br />
In the Eurozone, the key interest rate currently stands at 4%. Taking the turbulence on the credit markets and the stronger euro into<br />
account, we expect that the ECB will remain in a “wait and see” mode and maintain the refirate at the current level for the <strong>com</strong>ing<br />
months.<br />
As the Japanese economy was surrounded by many uncertainties, causing domestic growth to weaken and the reflation process to<br />
fail to ignite, the Bank of Japan remained on hold during the whole reporting period.<br />
In the US, the yield of the 10-year government bond started March 2007 at 4.558%, climbed to 5.03% at the end of June then fell<br />
back to 4.034% at the end of the year and ended the reporting period at 3.431%.<br />
Eurozone 10y-bond yields followed a similar pattern. The yield of the German 10-year government bond started at 3.95% in March,<br />
climbed to 4.57% at the end of June then fell back toward 4.11% at the end of the year and ended the reporting period at 3.897%.<br />
The Japanese 10y government bond started the reporting period at a yield of 1.65%, climbed to 1.86% at the end of June then fell<br />
back toward 1.49% in December and ended March 2008 at 1.281%.<br />
The turn from indiscriminate risk-taking to indiscriminate risk aversion pushed down government bond yields, particularly in the US. At<br />
the same time, demand for the more risky fixed in<strong>com</strong>e categories declined strongly (these had been very popular during the first half<br />
of 2007). As a consequence, the spread (the extra reward demanded over government bonds) widened markedly for corporate<br />
credits, high yield and emerging markets debt as of July.<br />
Developments on equity markets<br />
The first months of the reporting period saw a continuation of the positive trends from previous years: low interest rates, low inflation<br />
and a historically high risk appetite amongst investors. In July, however, investors’ elevated risk appetite suddenly turned into risk<br />
aversion.<br />
All this was caused by the aggravating slump on the US housing and mortgage markets. The problems here had surfaced early in the<br />
year, but really became investors’ nightmare as of July. Huge write-downs had to be taken by well-established banks in the US, but<br />
also in other regions, notably Europe. Several Asian sovereign wealth funds came "to the rescue" and injected capital in some of the<br />
troubled Western banks. Another striking feature was the fact that a relatively small part of the US economy, the housing market, was<br />
able to cause such turmoil on a worldwide scale.<br />
This turmoil arrived in an environment of robust global growth (around 4%) thanks to strong growth in the emerging markets and<br />
decent growth in Europe and Japan. The US economy had been quite resilient during the larger part of the year. During the fourth<br />
quarter, however, economic growth clearly came under pressure from the growing uncertainties due to the housing and mortgage<br />
market slumps.<br />

Management's report<br />
Not a single financial market was unaffected by the slump on the US housing market, due to various factors. First of all, banks had<br />
been extremely "flexible" in previous years, granting mortgage loans even to home owners who were not creditworthy (the subprime<br />
segment). Their flexible policy was based on the assumption that US house prices would continue to rise. When house prices started<br />
to decline, a growing number of home owners ran into financial trouble.<br />
The widespread fallout of declining property prices was also connected to the emergence of new financial products and innovative<br />
structures. In previous years, investors had massively taken advantage of enhanced opportunities to spread risk: by collecting<br />
mortgage portfolios, splitting them up into tranches and selling them again. There was a snag, however. Nobody knew exactly how<br />
big the risks involved really were and where the transferred risks had ended up.<br />
In July and subsequent months, investors’ risk aversion did not subside. As a consequence, the more defensive sectors outperformed<br />
the cyclical sectors on the whole. A notable exception was the basic materials sector which was able to consolidate most of its earlier<br />
gains. The energy sector also showed an excellent performance, boosted by substantially higher oil prices.<br />
The fourth quarter largely saw a continuation of the developments of the previous quarter. The credit crisis persisted and the financial<br />
markets continued to face huge uncertainties. As a consequence, the price fluctuations were again very substantial and financial<br />
stocks remained under severe pressure. Global equities lost around 5% during the quarter.<br />
During the first quarter of 2008, equity prices declined sharply worldwide, while volatility remained high. The financial sector saw the<br />
downward trend of last year continue, and once again produced sharply negative returns (-18%). Sectors which declined by more<br />
than 20% were tele<strong>com</strong> services and information technology. In these two sectors, a number of American <strong>com</strong>panies announced<br />
disappointing results. Sectors which held up relatively well were the segment consumer staples (-11%) and the cyclical segment<br />
Industrials (-13%). The cyclical basic materials sector also outperformed (-6%), as <strong>com</strong>modity prices continued to surge. This price<br />
trend could be attributed to ongoing shortages and sharply higher demand, in particular from Asia. On balance, global equities lost<br />
16% this quarter (in euro terms).<br />
Over the whole reporting period, Emerging Markets (especially Latin America) outperformed the rest of the world. In euro terms,<br />
MSCI Latin America won 18.7% and MSCI Emerging markets won 3.1% while MSCI World lost 16%.<br />
The best performing sectors over the period were: the Materials sector positively influenced by soaring <strong>com</strong>modity prices and the<br />
Energy sector which benefited from the rising oil prices. Underperformers were Healthcare, Financials and Consumer Discretionary.<br />

Management's report<br />
Our central scenario assumes that the US economy will be hit by a short and mild recession. This means, modestly negative economic<br />
growth during the first two quarters of 2008. Thanks to the monetary and fiscal measures already taken, we expect that the current<br />
economic cycle will reach its trough during the summer months. Subsequently, we foresee a U-shaped (in other words, gradual)<br />
recovery during the second half of the year. In our scenario, the growth pace will rise only gradually to its trend level (approximately<br />
2.5%). We do not envisage any above-trend growth before 2010.<br />
We expect that the Federal Reserve will continue to lower interest rates (to 1% during the third quarter of 2008) to prevent that the<br />
negative sentiment on the financial markets and the extreme risk aversion amongst investors will trigger a prolonged downward spiral<br />
in the real economy. In addition, we expect that extra fiscal incentives will be announced in order to support certain parts of the<br />
mortgage market. We are still convinced that the US policymakers will be successful in their attempts to fend off a deep and/or<br />
prolonged recession. In this respect, the US economy will not only be supported by aggressive policy steps, but also by ongoing<br />
healthy growth of the global economy and strong corporate balance sheets (outside the financial sector).<br />
Strong export growth will support the recovery of the economy. US exports should benefit from a weaker dollar, healthy economic<br />
growth in Europe and strong growth in the emerging markets.<br />
The Eurozone economy is supported by strong domestic demand. In<strong>com</strong>e growth is still accelerating, boosting consumers’ willingness<br />
to spend. In addition, business confidence and consumer confidence are still positive. We therefore expect that economic growth in<br />
the Eurozone will show a limited slowdown to its long-term average growth rate of around 1.7% in 2008.<br />
The ECB is still in a "wait-and-see" mode and although growth is likely to slow in the Eurozone, the ECB is still more concerned about<br />
upward inflation risks. We expect that the European Central bank will maintain its refirate at 4% in the <strong>com</strong>ing months.<br />
In Japan, although external demand is still growing, corporate investments are still subdued, in part because domestic demand<br />
remains still weak. In recent months, the trends on the labour market have also deteriorated, and we therefore no longer expect a<br />
structural improvement in in<strong>com</strong>e growth in the <strong>com</strong>ing months. Taking this into consideration, above-trend growth (1.5-2%) seems<br />
less likely for now. The policymakers of the central bank have also expressed more caution regarding the economic outlook for Japan.<br />
Rate hikes seem out of the question at the moment. It could take another three years before a neutral interest rate level of 2.5-3% is<br />
reached (current level: 0.5%).<br />
The bond markets clearly discount a bigger economic recession in the US than the equity markets. In our opinion, fixed-in<strong>com</strong>e<br />
markets are currently driven too much by sentiment, among other things driven by forced selling, and too little by the underlying<br />
fundamentals for the more risky asset classes in the longer term.<br />
