However, the Agent shall request aguarantee equivalent to 105% of the market value of the securities loaned, and no discount shall be applied tothat value.The guarantee held on the loaned securities will be either (i) bonds issued or guaranteed by the government orby a regional or local government in a member state of the OECD, or issued or guaranteed by local, regionalor international branches of supranational institutions or organisations that have a rating of at least AA and/or(ii) bonds issued or guaranteed by leading issuers offering adequate liquidity.The market value of the loaned securities and of the guarantee will be reasonably and objectively calculated bythe Agent each banking day (“mark to market”) taking into consideration the market conditions and anysupplementary fees, as applicable.

This risk, however, is mitigatedby the solvency analysis of the borrower performed by the <strong>Pictet</strong> Group. The securities lending agreements arealso subject to the risk of conflict of interest between the Fund and another entity of the <strong>Pictet</strong> Group,including the Agent providing services related to the securities lending agreements.”4.

(the Custodian Bank)2. <strong>Pictet</strong> <strong>Funds</strong> (Europe) S.A. (the Management Company)3. <strong>Pictet</strong> Asset Management Limited (the Manager to various of the Sub-<strong>Funds</strong>)4. <strong>Pictet</strong> Asset Management S.A. (the Sub-Manager to various of the Sub-<strong>Funds</strong>)5. <strong>Pictet</strong> Asset Management (<strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong>) Limited (previously known as <strong>Pictet</strong> (Asia) Limited) (the <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong>Representative) (collectively referred to as “Key Operators”).I. Background to the Group restructuringThe Group has experienced major growth and internationalisation over the past 20 years, accompanied by rapidlychanging banking regulations worldwide and increased operational complexity, particularly for general partnerships.Under the current structure, <strong>Pictet</strong> & Cie (owned and managed by eight general partners) acts as both the Group’sSwiss bank and the Group management entity.In light of the wave of new regulations faced by the financial sector aimed at reducing market risks, with focus onthe segregation of activities and responsibilities, the Group has decided to undergo a group restructuring with theultimate aim of (1) creating a separate entity for the Group’s management in the form of a “corporate partnership”under the proposed name of <strong>Pictet</strong> & Cie Group SCA; and (2) creating a new company under the proposed name of


<strong>Pictet</strong> Asset Management Holding S.A. to act as the holding company for all institutional asset management entitieswithin the Group.There will be no change in the ownership interest and control of the ultimate controlling shareholders of the Group(i.e. the eight general partners), including the Key Operators, as a result of the Group restructuring.II. Resulting changes in the intermediate controlling shareholders of Key OperatorsUpon completion of the Group restructuring, <strong>Pictet</strong> & Cie Group SCA will replace <strong>Pictet</strong> & Cie as the new controllingshareholder of <strong>Pictet</strong> & Cie (Europe) S.A. (the Custodian Bank).The remaining Key Operators will become (whether directly or indirectly) wholly-owned subsidiaries of <strong>Pictet</strong> AssetManagement Holding S.A., which will in turn be owned 48% by <strong>Pictet</strong> (London) Ltd (an existing holding company)and 52% by <strong>Pictet</strong> & Cie Group SCA.III.

Risk Factors and Additional DisclosuresRisk FactorsBefore investing in the Fund, potential investors should consider the risks involved. Investors should reviewthe risks set out in the section headed “Risk factors” and the relevant Annexes of the <strong>Prospectus</strong> for risksassociated with each compartment, as well as the description of other risks mentioned below. Please refer toAppendix C for the specific risks associated with each compartments.Market riskMarket risk is the risk that the value of an investment will decrease due to moves in market factors. Three ofthe main market factors are equity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk.Equity riskThe equity markets may fluctuate significantly with prices rising and falling sharply, and this will have a directimpact on the compartments’ net asset value (“NAV”). This means that when the equity markets are extremelyvolatile the compartment’s NAV may fluctuate substantially.Interest rate riskThe value of investments in bonds and other debt securities may rise or fall sharply as interest rates fluctuate.As a general rule, the value of fixed-rate instruments will increase when interest rates fall, and fall wheninterest rates increase.Currency riskThe compartments may hold assets denominated in currencies other than its base currency. It may be affectedby changes in exchange rates between the base currency and these other currencies or by changes toexchange control regulations. The conversion of the compartment’s assets from the denominationcurrency into the base currency is part of the compartment’s NAV calculation process. For instance,if the currency in which an asset is denominated appreciates against the compartment’s base currency, itsequivalent value in the base currency will also appreciate. Conversely, a depreciation in the denominationcurrency will result in a fall in the asset’s equivalent value in the base currency.There can be no assurance that transactions executed to hedge against currency risks will be 100% successful.Credit riskThe compartments may invest in instruments subject to credit risk. Bonds or other debt securities involvecredit risk to the issuer which may be evidenced by the issuer's credit rating. Further, the risk of default of acounterparty for a financial derivative instrument (“FDI”) is directly linked to the creditworthiness of thatcounterparty. Securities which are subordinated and/or have a lower credit rating and high-yield instrumentsare generally considered to have a higher credit risk and a greater possibility of default than more highly ratedsecurities. In the occurrence of a credit event (for instance, where any issuer of bonds or other debt securitiesor any counterparty for an FDI experiences financial or economic difficulties, or where the credit rating ofsuch issuer / counterparty or of the securities / instruments is downgraded), the value of the compartment’sinvestment may be adversely affected.Many emerging market countries have accumulated substantial debt service obligations. This may adverselyaffect their ability to service their debts and increase the likelihood of their defaulting on their obligations. Itshould also be noted that investment of any compartment in securities issued by corporations may represent ahigher credit risk than investment in securities issued by governments.Sector riskCompartments that are focusing on a single industry sector may be subject to losses that are more severe thanother diversified portfolios. Also, potential changes to rules and regulations governing a particular industrysector may have an adverse impact on the performance of the relevant compartments.Investors are also reminded of, inter alia, the concentration risks, volatility risks and liquidity risks associatedwith sector funds. Certain industry sector is characterised by significant volatility as evidenced by rapidlychanging market conditions and/or participants, new competitors, new competing products and/orimprovements in existing products.Concentration riskInvestors should note that with regards to compartments which focus on investing in a single sector,geographical area or country, these compartments are highly specialised. Although the compartments’investment portfolios may be diversified in terms of the underlying investments, the relevant compartmentsare likely to be more volatile than a broad-based fund, such as a global equity fund, and they may be moresusceptible to fluctuations in value resulting from adverse conditions in the sectors or countries in which thecompartments invest.5


Use of Financial Derivative InstrumentsInvestors should note that compartments which are included in the list under the section headed “Overview ofRisk Management Policies in relation to Financial Derivatives Instruments” in this document are considered“active” and may invest in FDIs for investment purposes as well as for efficient portfolio management and/orhedging purposes. In addition, other compartments which are not considered “active” may also invest in FDIsfor efficient portfolio management and/or hedging purposes. Investors should refer to the section headed “Useof derivative financial products and instruments” in the <strong>Prospectus</strong> for further information relating to the typesand use of FDIs.The “active” compartments may use FDIs, such as futures, warrants, options, swaps (including but not limitedto currency swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps and credit default swaps), floating rates agreements,forwards (including but not limited to non-deliverable forwards and currency forwards) or credit default swapindices, extensively for investment purposes. These instruments can be used with a view to gain exposure tovarious asset classes (equity, bonds, currencies, commodities) and also to adjusting the exposure of theportfolio in terms of equity market, single equity, interest rate, credit sector or single credit name, currency orvolatility exposure. Save for <strong>Pictet</strong> - Global Emerging Debt and <strong>Pictet</strong> - Latin American Local Currency Debtwhich may adopt FDI strategies, the compartments do not implement any specific strategy based on FDIs only.<strong>Pictet</strong> - Global Emerging Debt and <strong>Pictet</strong> - Latin American Local Currency Debt may also use derivativesinstruments to create long/short exposure on for instance sectors, equities, currencies, commodities, bonds,the yield curve, interest rate differentials as well as relative currency exposure for investment purposes.These strategies aim to benefit from a move in the relative valuation of 2 different instruments. Byimplementing a long/short strategy, the directionality of the market is generally removed or reduced, whichreduces the volatility of the trade compared to the market volatility. However, adverse market conditions maylead to a significant negative performance should the underlying long asset price move down while theunderlying short exposure moves up.Investors should also note that the types of FDIs into which the compartment(s) may invest can be difficult tovalue and may entail increased market risk. The prices of derivative instruments, including futures and optionsprices, can be highly volatile as their prices can be influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changingsupply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies ofgovernments, and national and international political and economic events and policies. In addition,governments from time to time intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain markets, particularly markets incurrencies and interest rate related futures and options. Such intervention is often intended to directlyinfluence prices and may, together with other factors, cause all of such markets to move rapidly in the samedirection because of, among other things, interest rate fluctuations. Further, such investments could exposethe relevant compartment(s) to losses greater than the cost of the FDIs and may increase substantially thecompartment(s)’ volatility. In adverse situation, the compartment(s)’ use of FDIs may become ineffective inefficient portfolio management or hedging and the compartment(s) may suffer significant losses.The use of financial derivative instruments also involves other special risks, including:1. dependence on the ability to predict movements in the prices of securities being hedged andmovements in interest rates;2. imperfect correlation between the price movements of the derivatives and price movements of relatedinvestments / underlying assets;3. the fact that skills needed to use these instruments are different from those needed to select therelevant compartment(s)’ securities;4. the possible absence of a liquid market for any particular instrument at any particular time;5. possible impediments to effective portfolio management or the ability to meet redemptions;6. possible legal risks arising in relation to derivative contract documentation, particularly issues arisingrelating to enforceability of contracts and limitations thereto;7. settlement risk as when dealing with FDIs such as futures, forwards, swaps, warrants, options,contracts for differences, the relevant compartment(s)’ liability may be potentially unlimited until theposition is closed;8. counterparty risk and legal risk when FDIs are conducted over-the-counter. If the counterpartydefaults, this may result in the compartment not being able to enforce the agreement which couldentail the loss of the contract's market value. Non-timely settlements could also lead to the risk of loss.The leverage (if any) which may result from the use of FDIs by the compartments may cause the compartmentsto be more volatile than if leverage was not used. As a result of the above, a compartment investing in FDIscould be exposed to losses that are greater than the original cost of such FDIs.The relevant compartment(s) may invest in certain derivative instruments, which may involve the assumptionof obligations as well as rights and assets. Assets deposited as margin with brokers may not be held insegregated accounts by the brokers and may therefore become available to the creditors of such brokers in theevent of their insolvency or bankruptcy.General description of the use of structured productsInvestors should note that each compartment may invest in structured products for example asset-backedsecurities and mortgage-backed securities. Structured products are synthetic investment instruments specially6


created to meet specific needs that cannot be met from the standardised financial instruments available in themarkets. Structured products can be used as an alternative to a direct investment; as part of the assetallocation process to reduce risk exposure of a portfolio; or to utilise the current market trend. A structuredproduct is generally a pre-packaged investment strategy which is based on derivatives, such as a singlesecurity, a basket of securities, options, indices, commodities, debt issuances and/or foreign currencies, and toa lesser extent, swaps. An investor's investment return and the issuer's payment obligations are contingent on,or highly sensitive to, changes in the value of underlying assets, indices, interest rates or cash flows. It ispossible that adverse movements in underlying asset valuations can lead to a loss of the entire principal of atransaction. Structured products (regardless whether they are principal protected or not) in general are alsoexposed to the credit risk of the issuer.General description of Settlement and counterparty risks associated with over-the-counter (“OTC”)transactionsThe Fund and its compartment(s) may from time to time utilise both exchange-traded and OTC derivatives aspart of its investment policy and for hedging purposes. Some transactions in FDIs by the compartment(s) maybe entered into with counterparties on an off exchange basis, more commonly referred to as over the counter(OTC) transactions. Transactions in OTC derivatives, such as credit derivatives, may involve additional risk asthere is no exchange market on which to close out an open position. OTC transactions also expose the investorto counterparty risk. In the event that the counterparty to the transaction is unable to meet or otherwisedefaults on its obligations (for example due to bankruptcy or other financial difficulties) the relevantcompartment(s) may be exposed to significant losses greater than the cost of the FDIs. In respect of a defaulton a foreign exchange transaction, it is possible that the entire principal of a transaction could be lost in theevent of a counterparty default.Liquidity riskWhen market conditions are unusual or a market is particularly thin the compartment may encounterdifficulties in valuing and/or selling some of its assets, in particular to satisfy large-scale redemption requests.This may restrict the ability for a compartment to sell its investments at the desired time and price.Emerging MarketsEmerging or developing countries are defined as those considered, at the time of investing, as industriallydeveloping countries by the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the International FinanceCorporation (IFC) or one of the leading investment banks. They may have relatively unstable governments,economies based on a less diversified industrial base and securities markets that are less mature and / or thattrade a smaller number of securities. Companies in emerging markets may generally be smaller, lessexperienced and more recently organised than many companies in more developed markets. Prices ofsecurities traded in the securities markets of emerging or developing countries tend to be volatile.Furthermore, foreign investors are often subject to restrictions in emerging or developing countries. Theserestrictions may require, among other things, governmental approval prior to making investments orrepatriating income or capital, or may impose limits on the amount or type of securities held by foreigners oron the companies in which the foreigners may invest.The economies of individual emerging countries may differ favourably or unfavourably from developedeconomies in such respects as growth of gross domestic product, rates of inflation, currency depreciation, capitalreinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payment position and may be based on a substantially lessdiversified industrial base. Further, the economies of developing countries generally are heavily dependent uponinternational trade and, accordingly, have been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by trade barriers,exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values and other protectionist measures imposedor negotiated by the countries with which they trade. These economies also have been, and may continue to be,adversely affected by economic conditions in the countries with which they trade.Investment in emerging markets is subject, among other risks, to legal, political and economic risks, fiscalrisks, volatility (i.e. the prices of securities in which the compartments invest may fluctuate significantly inshort-term periods) and/ or illiquidity risks in the markets of the emerging countries in question, ownership ofsecurities risks, capital repatriation restrictions risks (i.e. restrictions on repatriation of funds from suchcountries), tax and accounting risks. The description of these risk factors are set out in the section headed“Risk factors” under the relevant Annexes of the <strong>Prospectus</strong>.Investor riskAn investment in the Fund or any of its compartments is not in the nature of a deposit in a bank account and isnot protected by any government, government agency or other guarantee scheme which may be available toprotect the investor. None of the Management Company, the Investment Advisers, the Managers, any serviceprovider to the Fund, any of their respective directors, subsidiaries, affiliates, associates, agents or delegatesguarantee the performance or any future return of any investment in the compartments of the Fund.Substantial redemptions of shares (which are more likely to occur in adverse economic or market conditions)could require the Fund to liquidate investments of the relevant compartment more rapidly than otherwisedesirable in order to raise the necessary cash to fund the redemptions and to achieve a position appropriatelyreflecting the smaller equity base. This could adversely affect the NAV of both shares being redeemed and ofexisting shares.7


The Fund is entitled under certain circumstances specified in the section headed “Suspension of Calculation ofthe Net Asset Value, Subscriptions, Redemptions and Conversions” in the <strong>Prospectus</strong> to suspend dealings inthe shares. In this event, valuation of the NAV will be suspended, and any affected redemption applicationsand payment of redemption proceeds will be deferred. The risk of decline in NAV of the shares during theperiod up to the redemption of the shares is borne by all the shareholders, the redeeming shareholdersincluded.The Fund may compulsorily redeem all or a portion of the shareholder’s shares in the compartments includingbut not limited to the termination of a compartment, or where the shareholder is a United States person (asdefined in Regulation S of the 1933 United States Securities Act) and the circumstances in which he holds theshare could result in the Fund infringing US law. Such compulsory redemption may create adverse tax and/oreconomic consequences to the shareholder depending on the timing thereof. No person will have anyobligation to reimburse any portion of an investor’s losses upon any termination of the Fund, compulsoryredemption or otherwise.Risk of termination of the FundIn the event of the early termination of any compartments, the compartment would have to distribute to theshareholders their pro rata interest in the assets of the compartment. It is possible that at the time of such saleor distribution, certain investments held by the compartment may be worth less than the initial cost of suchinvestments, resulting in a substantial loss to the shareholders. Moreover, any organisational expenses withregard to the shares that had not yet become fully amortised would be debited against compartment’s capitalat that time.Risk relating to distribution share classesA compartment may at its discretion pay dividends out of capital.Dividends payable (if any) from dy and/or dm distribution shares may be paid out of the capital of acompartment. The payment of dividends out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of aninvestor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Investorsshould be aware that distributions, including distributions involving the payment of dividends out of acompartment’s capital, may result in an immediate reduction in the NAV per distribution share of the relevantcompartment.Risks related to investments in below investment grade securitiesInvestments in debt securities rated below investment grade (and unrated debt securities of similar creditquality) may be subject to greater levels of interest rate risk, credit risk, price volatility and liquidity risk thanhigher-rated securities.<strong>Pictet</strong> – Global Emerging Debt and <strong>Pictet</strong>-Latin American Local Currency Debt may invest in securities that arerated investment grade, below investment grade as well as unrated securities of similar credit quality.However, each compartment does not currently intend to invest more than 10% of its NAV in securities issuedor guaranteed by a single country (including its government, a public or local authority of that country) with acredit rating below investment grade. The offering documents of the Fund will be reviewed regularly andupdated as and when necessary.Downgrading RiskThe compartments may invest in debt securities which may be impacted by a downgraded credit rating. Suchan event may decrease the value and liquidity of the security and adversely affect the sub fund’s NAV.Risks related to the European sovereign debt crisisThe compartments may have investment exposure to Europe in the context of the investment objective andstrategy in which the compartments pursue. In light of the current fiscal conditions and concerns over thesovereign debt of certain European countries, such compartments may be subject to an increased amount ofrisks arising from the crisis, which may deteriorate or unfold in various ways, including, but not limited to, theexit of one or more countries from the Eurozone, the default or bankruptcy of a sovereign issuer within theEurozone, or a partial or full break up of the Eurozone and the possibility that the Euro will no longer be avalid trading currency.While the governments of many European countries, the European Commission, the European Central Bank,the International Monetary Fund and other authorities are taking various austerity measures andimplementing reforms to address the current fiscal conditions in Europe, such measures may not have thedesired effect and the conditions in Europe may worsen or spread within and/or outside of Europe, potentiallyaffecting the global financial system and other local economies. This will lead to uncertainty in the futurestability and growth of the European region as well as the global financial markets.Any adverse credit events resulting from the European debt crisis may have a negative impact on theperformance of the compartments (such as default and/or downgrading of the security issued by a sovereignissuer and an increased amount of volatility, liquidity, credit, price and currency risks associated withinvestments in Europe to which the compartments have exposure). In addition, there may also be unintended8


consequences arising from the potential European crisis which may adversely affect the performance andvalue of the compartments. In these circumstances, it is possible that a large number of shareholders coulddecide to submit applications to redeem the shares of the compartments at the same time.Asset allocation riskThe portfolio of some of the compartments may be allocated into different asset classes, and such allocationmay change over time depending on the manager’s view on market opportunities. Therefore, theperformance of the compartment is dependent on the success of the asset allocation employed by thecompartment, and there is no assurance that it will be successful. As such, there is no assurance that theinvestment objectives will be achieved. As a result, this may have an adverse impact on the performance of thecompartment.Investment riskThe investment portfolio of each of the compartments may fall in value and shareholders’ investment in thecompartments may suffer losses.Additional disclosuresAdditional disclosure for PICTET – Global Megatrend Selection (“Global Megatrend Selection”)Investors should note that Global Megatrend Selection will invest in a palette of securities reflectinginvestments in <strong>Pictet</strong> thematic open-ended compartments of the Fund (the “Thematic Compartments”). TheFund currently offers 9 thematic compartments namely PICTET – Digital Communication, PICTET – Biotech^,PICTET – Premium Brands, PICTET – Water, PICTET – Generics^, PICTET – Security, PICTET – Clean Energy,PICTET – Timber PICTET – Agriculture. Investors should refer to the relevant Annexes to the <strong>Prospectus</strong> fordetails of these 9 thematic compartments.Global Megatrend Selection aims at replicating, on an equal-weighted basis among the thematic investments,the investments of these compartments by investing in the same securities, reflecting the investments of eachof these Thematic Compartments. The prices of the securities invested by Global Megatrend Selection in therelevant themes may fluctuate from time to time and thus, the weighting of the underlying themes may deviatefrom the equal weighting among the Thematic Compartments. Hence, the weighting of the ThematicCompartments will normally be rebalanced monthly so as to maintain the equal-weighted basis among theThematic Compartments.The Fund may launch new thematic compartments in future, Global Megatrend Selection will invest insecurities invested by the relevant themes. In case if any of the Thematic Compartments is closed, GlobalMegatrend Selection will cease to invest in the theme of such compartment and will continue to invest in thethemes of the remaining Thematic Compartments.Hence, the number of the investment themes that Global Megatrend Selection will invest in will change fromtime to time (i.e. more or less than 9 investment themes).Additional disclosure for PICTET – Environmental Megatrend Selection (“Environmental MegatrendSelection”)Investments of Environmental Megatrend Selection are made in accordance with the compartment’s fourcorresponding open-ended environmental theme compartments:Agriculture: companies operating in the agriculture value chain; this includes the fields of production,processing and supply, as well as the production of agricultural equipment.Clean Energy: companies that contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and the use of clean energy andincludes companies that are active in the domains of cleaner resources and infrastructures; equipment andtechnologies that reduce carbon emissions; the generation, transmission and distribution of cleaner energyand energy efficiency; and cleaner and more energy-efficient transportation and fuels.Timber: companies whose businesses include financing, planting and managing forests and wooded regionsand/or the processing, producing and distribution of wood for construction and other services and productsderived from wood contained in the silviculture value chain.Water: companies operating in the water sector which include, but are not limited to, water productioncompanies, water conditioning and desalination companies, water suppliers and companies specialising in thetreatment of waste water.Each of the four themes has a strategically fixed portfolio weighting. Currently, the portfolio weighting is atone third for Water, one third for Clean Energy, one sixth for Timber, and one sixth for Agriculture. Theseportfolio weightings may be subject to modification in the future. The four themes will be rebalanced to theirstrategically fixed weighting at the end of each month.^ This compartment is not authorised by the SFC9


The compartment’s investments are concentrated on four environmental themes. These four themes areinvested in the global agriculture, clean energy, timber and water markets. Any fall in the value of one of thesesectors may have an adverse impact on the value of the compartment.Events that can lead to a fall of value of companies we invest in are detailed below.Agriculture: a government’s decision to suddenly decrease the level of subsidies can lower the level ofprofitability of listed agricultural companies which have operations in the country.Clean Energy: decrease in subsidies induced by government’s capital allocation may reduce the growthprospects of alternative energy companies, as 1it can delay the establishment of new power productionfacilities. This could lower the revenues and the returns of listed companies in the respective field.Timber: lumber prices usually decline when the number of new housing in the United States is belowexpectations. Companies with strong exposure to lumber could suffer from a lower expected demand.Water: companies active in markets with regulated water tariffs may suffer from decreasing water tariffs,which would lower the revenues and the returns of listed water operators. Moreover, during the budgetprocess, political forces may put priorities on different projects such as household consumption incentives,transportation infrastructure projects, education. Water infrastructure project may be given a lower priorityand be delayed. The growth outlook of water technology companies will then be reduced.Additional disclosure for PICTET – High Dividend Selection (“High Dividend Selection”)In addition to the investment policy set out in the <strong>Prospectus</strong>, High Dividend Selection provides exposure tocompanies that distribute high dividend yields. Companies eligible for investment by High Dividend Selectionmust have, at the time of purchase, an annual dividend yield which is higher than that of the average dividendyield of the applicable reference market, or, of at least 3%, whichever is lower. The “reference market” refers tothe sectors of the global equities universe having a market capitalisation above USD 1 billion.Additional disclosure for PICTET – Emerging Markets High DividendThe compartment’s objective is to invest mainly in shares and similar securities (including Americandepositary receipts and global depositary receipts) of companies whose headquarters are located in and/orthat conduct their main activity in emerging countries and for which it is expected that dividends are higher orgreater than those of their reference market (represented by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index).The compartment will not use FDI extensively for investment purposes.Additional disclosure for PICTET – Asian Equities Ex JapanThe compartment uses various selection criteria (e.g. cash flow returns and capacity replacement value) in itsselection of investments, which will be afforded greater or lesser focus depending upon current economicconditions.Additional disclosure for PICTET – Global Emerging DebtThe compartment uses various selection criteria (e.g. credit quality of the issuer and level of liquidity) in itsselection of investments, which will be afforded greater or lesser focus depending upon current economicconditions.Additional disclosure for Distribution sharesDistribution shares (e.g. dy shares) will be entitled to a dividend as decided by the Annual General Meeting.However, in respect of dm shares, whilst there is no guarantee, it is intended that a monthly dividend may bedistributed. Apart from the payment of distribution out of the net investment revenue, the Fund may at itsdiscretion determine such distributions may be paid from capital of the relevant compartment. Investorsshould be aware that distributions, including distributions out of capital, will result in an immediate decreasein the NAV per distribution share of the relevant compartment.Besides, investors should note that the payment of dividends out of capital represents a return or withdrawalof part of the amount they originally invested and/or any capital gains attributable to the original investment.The composition of dividends (i.e. relative amounts paid from net distributable income and capital) for the last12 months can be obtained either through the website www.pictetfunds.hk ★ or from the <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong>Representative on request.The Fund may amend the dividend policy subject to obtaining the SFC’s prior approval and by giving not lessthan one month’s prior notice to <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong> shareholders.★ The website has not been reviewed by the SFC.10


Additional disclosure for compartments investing in emerging countriesCompartments which are not restricted to geographical limits on its investments may invest in shares ofcompanies that conduct activities in emerging or developing countries such as, but not limited to, China, Braziland Russia.Where a compartment is permitted to invest in China, the aggregate exposure of the compartment to ChinaA-Shares and China B-Shares will not exceed 10% of its NAV. At least one month’s prior notice will be givento <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong> shareholders if any of the compartments intends to invest more than the above-statedpercentage, and the <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong> offering documents will be updated accordingly.Additional disclosure for compartments investing in structured productsAlthough each of the compartments may invest in structured products, such investments will not form asubstantial part of each compartment’s portfolio.11

According to the nature of the fundinvestments the following risks are further investigated:• Credit risk for fixed income securities where the sensitivity to changes in the term structure isanalysed.• Market risk including geographical, sector risk and market risks in derivatives.• Currency risk through analysis of foreign currency exposures.• Counterparty risk for OTC products and all other securities involving such risk.• Depending upon the availability of market information, liquidity risk assessing the ability of the fundto liquidate its assets in good conditions.At the investment manager level, the risk is also checked within the Asset Management team first, thenindependently by the Risk Control team. A third layer of control is done at the Management Company level.The following compartments are considered as “active”, which means that they may use FDIs for investmentpurposes:1. PICTET – Global Emerging Debt2. PICTET – Latin American Local Currency Debt3. PICTET – Emerging Markets4. PICTET – Water5. PICTET – Asian Equities Ex Japan6. PICTET – Russian Equities7. PICTET – Timber8. PICTET – Agriculture9. PICTET – Global Megatrend Selection


10. PICTET – Environmental Megatrend Selection11. PICTET – High Dividend Selection12. PICTET – Emerging Markets High DividendThe use of FDIs may have leverage effect. Investors should note that the leverage of all “active” compartmentsas stated in the <strong>Prospectus</strong> and respective KFSs will be higher than expected in situations such as where theManagers decide to use FDIs to take an active exposure or to expose the compartment to the market beforeproceeding with equities or bonds investment or during times of heightened market uncertainty where theManagers may deem it appropriate to increase the compartment’s use of FDIs in order to manage risk withinthe portfolio.With the exception of PICTET – Global Emerging Debt and PICTET – Latin American Local Currency Debt, the“active” compartments as identified above will not use FDIs extensively for investment purposes.The Risk Management unit of the Management Company uses other quantitative measures such as theValue-at-Risk (VaR) of the portfolio, coupled with ad hoc stress tests and regular back test programs in orderto validate the VaR model.The current VaR model is based on one-month time horizon and at the confidence level of 99%. Compartmentsadopting relative VaR model are provided in the table below. The relative VaR level of these compartmentscannot exceed twice that of the relevant benchmark portfolio as provided in the table. For compartmentsadopting absolute VaR model (including <strong>Pictet</strong> - Global Emerging Debt and <strong>Pictet</strong> - Latin American LocalCurrency Debt), the VaR level would be limited to 20% of the NAV of the compartment concerned.Compartments that adopt relative VaR modelPICTET – AgriculturePICTET – Asian Equities Ex JapanPICTET – Clean EnergyPICTET – Digital CommunicationBenchmark PortfolioMSCI WorldMSCI AC Asia Ex JapanMSCI WorldMSCI WorldPICTET – Eastern Europe MSCI Emerging Markets Europe 10/40PICTET – Emerging MarketsPICTET – Emerging Markets High DividendPICTET – Environmental Megatrend SelectionPICTET – European Equity SelectionPICTET – Global Megatrend SelectionPICTET – High Dividend SelectionPICTET – Japanese Equity SelectionPICTET – Premium BrandsMSCI Emerging MarketsMSCI Emerging MarketsMSCI WorldMSCI AC EuropeMSCI WorldMSCI WorldMSCI JapanMSCI WorldPICTET – Russian Equities MSCI Russia 10/40PICTET – SecurityPICTET – TimberPICTET – US Equity Growth SelectionPICTET – WaterMSCI WorldMSCI WorldRussell 1000 GrowthMSCI WorldPractically, the Risk Management unit of the Management Company monitors the VaR figures on a daily basisin regard to the various limits required by the local circular (CSSF 11/512) and performs further in-depthanalysis should any limit be exceeded.The quantitative results of exposure coming from the calculation engines system are compared to the variouslimits set out for the funds (either relative or absolute) and any breach is further investigated and passed out tothe fund manager and the day-to-day managers of the Management Company for action.Monthly ad hoc stress tests are run, depending on the nature of each compartment investments, in order toassess the impacts of low-probability events on each compartment. The results of these stress tests scenariosare reported to the day-to-day managers of the fund.Finally, in order to validate the VaR model used, back test programs are run on a quarterly basis and theresults are also reported to day-to-day managers of the fund.There is no specific leverage limit in relation to the use of FDIs for a compartment.19

The companywas incorporated for an indefinite period on 20 September1991 under the name of <strong>Pictet</strong> Umbrella Fundand its Articles of Association were published in theOfficial Journal of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg,the Mémorial, Recueil Spécial des Sociétés et Associationsof the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the “Mémorial”),on 29 October 1991. They were last amended bynotarial deed dated 28 December 2011. The Articlesof Association were filed with the Luxembourg Tradeand Companies Register, where they may be viewedand where copies may be obtained. They were publishedin the Mémorial, Recueil Spécial des Sociétéset Associations of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.The Fund is registered in the Luxembourg Trade andCompanies Register under No. B 38034.At all times, the Fund’s capital will be equal to the netasset value and will not fall below the minimum capitalof EUR 1,250,000.INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND FUNDSTRUCTUREThe Fund is designed to offer investors access to aselection of markets worldwide and a variety of investmenttechniques through a range of specialisedproducts (“compartments”) within one structure.The Board of Directors determines the investmentpolicy for the various compartments. Risks will bespread broadly by diversifying investments over alarge range of transferable securities, the choice ofwhich shall not be limited – except under the terms ofthe restrictions specified in the section “Invest mentRestrictions” below – neither in terms of regions, economicsectors, or the type of transferable securitiesused.PoolingFor the purpose of efficient management and if theinvestment policies of the compartments allow, theBoard of Directors of the Management Companymay decide to co-manage some or all of the assets ofcertain <strong>Pictet</strong> compartments. In this case, the assetsfrom different compartments will be jointly managedusing the aforementioned tech nique. Assets that areco-managed will be referred to using the term “pool”.These pools will only be used for internal managementpurposes. They will not constitute distinct legalentities and will not be directly accessible to investors.Each co-managed compartment will have itsown assets allocated to it.48 The original French text is the legally binding version.


When the assets of a compartment are managed usingthis technique, the assets initially attributable toeach co-managed compartment will be deter minedaccording to the compartment’s initial participationin the pool. Thereafter, the composi tion of the assetswill vary according to contribu tions or withdrawalsmade by the compartments.This apportionment system applies to each investmentline of the pool. Additional investments madeon behalf of the co-managed compartments willtherefore be allocated to these compartments accordingto their respective entitlements, while assets soldwill be similarly deducted from the assets attributableto each of the co-managed compartments.All banking transactions involved in the running ofthe compartment (dividends, interest, non-contractualfees, expenses) will be accounted for in the pooland reassigned for accounting to each of the compartmentson a pro rata basis on the day the transactionsare recorded (provisions for liabilities, bankrecording of income and/or expenses). On the otherhand, contractual fees (custody, administration andmanagement fees, etc.) will be accounted for directlyin the respective compartments.The assets and liabilities attributable to each compartmentwill be identifiable at any given moment.The pooling method will comply with the investmentpolicy of each of the compartments concerned.Classes of sharesThe net assets forming each compartment are representedby shares, which may be of different classesor sub-classes. All the shares representing the assetsof a compartment form a class of shares. All the compartmentstogether constitute the Fund. If sub-classesof shares are issued, the relevant information willbe specified in the Annexes of this prospectus.The Management Company may decide, in the interestof shareholders, that some or all of the assetsbelonging to one or more compartments of theFund will be invested indirectly, through a companywholly controlled by the Management Companywhich conducts, exclusively for the benefit of thecompartment(s) concerned, the management, advisingor distribution activities in the country in whichthe subsidiary company is established with respect tothe redemption of the shares of the compartment inquestion when requested by shareholders exclusivelyfor itself or for the shareholders. For the purposes ofthis prospectus, references to “investments” and “assets”respectively mean either investments made andassets held directly or investments made and assetsheld indirectly by the agent of the aforementionedcompanies.In the event that a subsidiary company is used,this will be specified in the annex relating to thecompartment(s) concerned.The Board of Directors is authorised to create newcompartments. A list of the compartments availableto date is included in the Annexes of this prospectus,describing their investment policies and key features.This list is an integral part of the prospectus and willbe updated whenever new compartments are created.For each class of shares, the Board of Directors mayalso decide to create two or more sub-classes whoseassets will generally be invested in accordance withthe specific investment policy of the class in question.However, the sub-classes may differ in terms of theirspecific subscription and/or redemp tion fee structures,specific exchange rate hedging policies, specificdistribution policies and/or specific managementor advisory fees, or other specific features applicableto each sub-class. When necessary, this informationis specified in the Annexes of this prospectus.The shares in the Fund are usually listed on the LuxembourgStock Exchange. The Board of Directorsmay decide which sub-classes of shares are to belisted.SUB-CLASSES OF SHARESA list of the current classes of shares is included inthis prospectus. The Board of Directors may decide tocreate additional classes of shares at any time.The sub-classes of shares issued or planned at thedate of this prospectus, together with any supplementaryinformation, are detailed in the Annexes ofthe prospectus. Investors are advised to contact theiragent for the latest list of sub-classes of shares issued.Shares may be divided within compartments into “I”,“IS”, “P”, “R”, “S”, “Z”, “J” and “MG” shares.“I” shares are intended for investors who wish toinvest a minimum initial amount. This amount isspecified in the annex for each compartment andis calculated for the class concerned and its correspondingclasses (hedged, issued in another currencyor distributive). Subscriptions in a class other thanthese classes will not be taken into account in calculatingthe initial minimum subscription amount. TheBoard of Directors nevertheless reserves the right toaccept subscriptions for an amount that is less thanthe initial amount required, at its discretion.For “I” shares, the front-end load for intermediarieswill be no more than 5%, and the back-end load nomore than 1%.IS shares may be created within certain indexed compartmentsin order to distinguish them, if needed,from I shares with respect to accounting for correctionsin the net asset value as described in the section«Calculation of the net asset value».“IS” shares will be subject to the same conditions as“I” shares.«J» shares are intended for institutional investorswithin the meaning of Article 174 of the Law of 2010(«Institutional Investors») who wish to invest a minimuminitial amount. This amount is specified in theannex for each compartment and is calculated forthe class concerned and its corresponding classes(hedged, issued in another currency or distribution).Subscriptions in a class other than these classes willnot be taken into account in calculating the initialThe original French text is the legally binding version. 49


minimum subscription amount. The Board of Directorsnevertheless reserves the right to accept subscriptionsfor an amount that is less than the initialamount required, at its discretion.For “J” shares, the front-end load for intermediarieswill be no more than 5%, and the back-end load nomore than 1%.“P” and “R” shares are not subject to any minimuminvestment. Because of their widespread features, eitheror both respond to different commercial practicesin force on the date of this prospectus in thecountries in which the Fund is marketed, their flexibilityenabling them to be adapted where necessaryto changes in the targeted markets.“P” shares:“R” shares:Front–end load in favour of intermediariesof no more than 5%.Back–end load in favour of intermediariesof no more than 1%.Lower management fee than for “R”shares.Front–end load in favour of intermediariesof no more than 5%.Back-end load in favour of intermediariesof no more than 3%.Higher management fee than for“P” shares.“S” shares (“Staff”) are exclusively reserved for employeesof the <strong>Pictet</strong> group. No intermediary fee willbe applied to subscriptions and redemptions. TheBoard of Directors may apply a maximum 2% conversionfee for intermediaries.“Z” shares are reserved for institutional investorswho have concluded a specific remuneration agreementwith <strong>Pictet</strong> & Cie, Geneva, or any other entity ofthe <strong>Pictet</strong> Group.For “Z” shares, the front-end load for intermediarieswill be no more than 5%, and the back-end load nomore than 1%.“MG” shares are reserved for shareholders expresslyapproved by the manager of the compartment concerned.For “MG” shares, the front-end load for intermediarieswill be a maximum of 5%, and the back-end loada maximum of 1%.Shares may be divided into capitalisation shares anddistribution shares. “dy” distribution shares will beentitled to a dividend as decided by the Annual GeneralMeeting, whereas the corresponding amount forcapitalisation shares will not be distributed, but ratherinvested in the share class concerned.The Board of Directors may also decide to issue dmshares for which a monthly dividend may be distributed.This dividend will normally be paid to shareholdersin the sub-class concerned who are registeredin the shareholders’ register on the 20th day of themonth (or the following day if that day is not a BankingDay) and will normally be paid within 4 bankingdays (in the currency of the class) after the ex-date.No tax reporting for this class of shares will beprovided for German investors.In each compartment, shares issued in currenciesother than the compartment’s base currency may becreated. These shares may be hedged (as defined below)or not hedged.Hedged shares:Hedged shares (“H” shares) aim to hedge to a largeextent the exchange risk in relation to a given currency.These shares will be subject to the same front- andback-end loads as the corresponding non-hedgedshares.The minimum investment for shares issued in a currencyother than the compartment’s consolidationcurrency is the minimum initial investment amountapplicable to the shares concerned, converted intothe applicable currency for the class on the net assetvalue calculation date.In each compartment, the Board of Directors may decideto launch “DH” (Duration Hedged) shares that allowinvestors to benefit from the management of thecompartment concerned by limiting possible impactslinked to rate movements. The hedging strategy willbe implemented using derivative instruments (interestrate futures) and will bear on the main points ofthe yield curve and not on each maturity taken individually.There will thus still be a residual risk ofvariation in the yield curve.

Thecorresponding fees will be charged to the shareholdersin question.Unless otherwise indicated in the Annexes, for anyredemption application received by the TransferAgent after the time specified in the previous paragraph,the net asset value to be applied will be thatcalculated on the next date on which the net assetvalue is calculated.If, following redemption or conversion requests, it isnecessary on a given Valuation Day to redeem morethan 10% of the shares issued for a given compartment,the Board of Directors may decide that all redemptionsbe deferred until the next date on whichthe net asset value is calculated for the compartmentin question. On that next net asset value calculationdate, redemption or conversion applications that havebeen deferred (and not withdrawn) will have priorityover applications received for that particular net assetvaluation day (which have not been deferred).Unless otherwise specified in the Annexes, the equivalentamount paid for shares submitted for redemptionshall be paid by credit transfer in the currencyof the compartment in question, or in any other currencyspecified in the Annexes in which case anycosts for currency conversion will be borne by thecompartment, within two Banking Days of the NAVcalculation date that applies to the redemption (cf.“Redemption Price” section below).REDEMPTION PRICEThe redemption price for shares (or sub-class ofshares) of each compartment is equal to the net assetvalue of each share (or each sub-class of shares) inthe compartment in question, calculated on the firstdate on which the net asset value is determined followingthe application redemption date.A commission paid to financial intermediaries and/ordistributors may be deducted from this amount, representingup to 3% of the net asset value per share.Front- and back-end load for intermediaries will varyaccording to the sub-class of share, as described inthe “Sub-classes of shares” section.The redemption price will also be reduced to coverany duties, taxes and stamp duties to be paid.The Board of Directors will be authorised to applycorrections to the net asset value as described in thesection “Calculation of the net asset value”.In certain exceptional circumstances, the Board ofDirectors will also be authorised to apply a “Dilutionlevy” on the redemption of shares, as described belowin the section “Dilution levy”.The redemption price may be higher or lower thanthe subscription price, depending on changes in thenet asset value.CONVERSIONWithin the limits defined in the “Sub-classes of shares”section in the prospectus, shareholders of one compartmentmay ask for some or all of their shares tobe converted into shares of another compartment orbetween compartments for different sub-classes, inwhich case the conversion price will be calculated accordingto the respective net asset values, which maybe increased or reduced, in addition to administrativecharges, by the commissions to intermediaries for thesub-classes and/or compartments in question. Underno circumstances may these agents’ fees exceed 2%.However, shares cannot be converted into “J dy” or“J” shares, unless the Board of Directors decides otherwise.Notwithstanding the provisions set out in the Annexesof the prospectus, shareholders of one compartmentmay ask for some or all of their shares tobe converted into shares of the same sub-class in anothercompartment, at no charge other than an administrativefee.Unless otherwise indicated in the Annexes, for anyconversion application received by the Transfer Agentbefore the deadline specified for each compartmentin the Annexes the net asset values applicable will bethose calculated on the following net asset value calculationdate for the compartments in question.The Board of Directors may impose such restrictionsas it deems necessary, in particular concerning thefrequency of conversions, and will be authorised toapply corrections to the net asset value as describedin the section “Calculation of the net asset value”.Shares that have been converted into shares of anothercompartment will be cancelled.In certain exceptional circumstances, the Board ofDirectors will also be authorised to apply a “Dilutionlevy” on the conversion of shares, as described belowin the section “Dilution levy”.DILUTION LEVYIn certain exceptional circumstances such as, for example:– significant trading volumes– and/or market disturbances– and in any other cases when the Board of Directorsdeems, at its sole discretion, that the interestof the existing shareholders (concerning issues/conversions) or of the remaining shareholders(concerning redemptions/conversions) might benegatively affected,the Board of Directors of the Fund will be authorisedto charge a “Dilution levy” for a maximum of 2% ofthe value of the net asset value on the issue, redemptionand/or conversion price.In cases when it is charged, this Dilution levy will equitablyapply, on a given NAV calculation date, to allshareholders of the relevant compartment. It will bepaid to the compartment and will become an integralpart of that compartment.The original French text is the legally binding version. 55


The Dilution Levy thus applied will be calculated withreference to market effects as well as to the dealingcosts incurred for transactions on the underlying investmentsfor the compartment, including any applicablecommissions, spreads and transfer taxes.The Dilution levy may be cumulative with the correctionsto the net asset value as described in the section“Calculation of the net asset value” below.CALCULATION OF THE NET ASSET VALUEThe Central Administration Agent calculates the netasset value, as well as the issue, redemption and conversionprices for shares for each compartment in thecurrency of the compartment in question, at intervalswhich may vary for each compartment and are indicatedin the Annexes.If one of the days in question is a public holiday, thenet asset value of the compartment in question will becalculated on the following Banking Day.The net asset value of a share of each compartmentwill be calculated by dividing the net assets of thecompartment in question by the compartment’s totalnumber of shares in circulation. A compartment’s netassets correspond to the difference between its totalassets and total liabilities.If various sub-classes of shares are issued in a givencompartment, the net asset value of each sub-classof shares in this compartment will be calculated bydividing the total net asset value (calculated for thecompartment in question and attributable to this subclassof shares) by the total number of shares issuedfor this sub-class.The percentage of the total net asset value of the relevantcompartment that can be attributed to eachsub-class of shares, which was initially identical tothe percentage of the number of shares representedby the sub-class of shares in question, varies accordingto the level of distribution shares, as follows:a) if a dividend or any other distribution is paid outfor distribution shares, the total net assets attributableto the sub-class of shares will be reducedby the amount of this distribution (thereby reducingthe percentage of the total net assets ofthe compartment in question, attributable to thedistribution shares) and the total net assets attributableto capitalisation shares will remainidentical (thereby increasing the percentage ofthe compartment’s total net assets attributable tothe capitalisation shares);b) if the capital of the compartment in question isincreased through the issue of new shares in oneof the sub-classes, the total net assets attribut ableto the sub-class of shares concerned will be increasedby the amount received for this issue;c) if the shares of a sub-class are redeemed by a givencompartment, the total net assets attribut ableto the corresponding sub-class of shares will bereduced by the price paid for the redemption ofthese shares;d) if the shares of a sub-class are converted intoshares of another sub-class, the total net assetsattributable to this sub-class will be reduced bythe net asset value of the shares converted whilethe total net assets attributable to the sub-class inquestion will be increased by the same amount.The total net assets of the Fund will be expressed ineuros and correspond to the difference between thetotal assets (total wealth) and the total liabilities of theFund. For the purposes of this calculation, if the netassets of a compartment are not expressed in euros,they will be converted to euros and added together.Portfolio transactions are liable to generate expensesas well as a difference between the trading priceand the valuation of investments or divestments. Toprotect the Fund’s existing shareholders, at the timeof subscriptions and/or redemptions received for agiven NAV calculation day, shareholders entering orexiting generally bear the impacts of these negativeeffects. These costs (estimated at a flat rate or effectivevalue) may be invoiced separately or by adjustingthe NAV of a concerned compartment or class eitherdown or up. The Board of Directors may also decideto only apply this correction at a certain level of subscriptionsand/or redemptions in a given compartmentor class. These procedures apply in an equitablemanner to all shareholders of a same compartmenton the same net asset value calculation date. The specificmethod applied for each class is the following:For compartments <strong>Pictet</strong>-USA Index, <strong>Pictet</strong> – EuropeIndex, <strong>Pictet</strong> – Japan Index, <strong>Pictet</strong> – Pacific Ex JapanIndex, <strong>Pictet</strong> – Emerging Markets Index, <strong>Pictet</strong> – EurolandIndex, <strong>Pictet</strong> – Brazil Index, <strong>Pictet</strong> – China Index,<strong>Pictet</strong> – India Index, <strong>Pictet</strong> – Latam Index and <strong>Pictet</strong> –Russia Index:For I, P and Z shares and their corresponding shares:corrections are invoiced separately from the NAV.For IS and R shares and their corresponding shares:the NAV is adjusted.For all other compartments:For Z shares and their corresponding shares: correctionsare invoiced separately from the NAV.For I, P, R, S, MG and J shares and their correspondingshares: the NAV is adjusted.The effect of any such corrections with respect to thenet asset value that would have been obtained withoutthem may not exceed 2% unless otherwise specifiedin the Annexes.The assets of each compartment will be valued as follows:a) The securities admitted for listing on an officialstock exchange or on another regulated marketwill be valued using the last known price unlessthis price is not representative.b) Securities not admitted to such listing or not ona regulated market and securities thus listed butwhose last known price is not representative, willbe valued on the basis of the probable sellingprice, estimated prudently and in good faith.56 The original French text is the legally binding version.


c) The value of any cash in hand or on deposit, billsand demand notes and accounts receivable, prepaidexpenses, dividends and interest declared oraccrued and not yet obtained, will be constitutedby the nominal value of the assets, unless it appearsunlikely that this amount will be obtained,in which case the value will be determined afterdeducting the amount that the Board of Directorsdeems appropriate to reflect the true value ofthese assets.d) Money market instruments will be valued usingthe amortised cost method at their nominal valueplus any accrued interest or the “mark-to-market”method. When the market value is different to theamortised cost, the money market instrumentswill be valued using the mark-to-market method.e) Securities expressed in a currency other than thatof the reference compartment will be convertedto the currency of that compartment at the applicableexchange rate.f) Units/shares issued by open-ended-type undertakingsfor collective investment:- on the basis of the last net asset value knownby the Central Administration Agent, or- on the basis of the net asset value estimatedon the closest date to the compartment’s valuationday.g) The value of companies that are not admitted forlisting on an official or regulated market may bedetermined using a valuation method proposedin good faith by the Board of Directors based onthe last audited annual financial statements available,and/or on the basis of recent events thatmay have an impact on the value of the security inquestion and/or on any other available valuation.The choice of method and of the medium allowingthe valuation will depend on the estimatedrelevance of the available data. The value may becorrected according to any unaudited periodicfinancial statements available.

investors and for the compartments whose sole objectiveis collective investment in money market instrumentsand deposits in credit institutions.The following compartments are exempt from thesubscription tax:(i) those whose securities are listed or traded onat least one stock exchange or other regulatedmarket, operating regularly, and recognised andopen to the public; and(ii) whose sole objective is to replicate the performanceof one or more indexes.If there are several classes of securities within thecompartment, the exemption is only applicable to theclasses meeting the condition described in point (i)above.European tax considerationsOn 3 June 2003, the Council of the European Unionadopted Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxationof savings income in the form of interest payments. Inaccordance with the Directive, Member States of theEuropean Union will be required to provide to the taxauthorities of another Member State of the EuropeanUnion information relating to interest payments orother similar income made by entities under their jurisdictionto individuals residing in that other MemberState of the European Union. Austria and Luxembourghave instead opted to apply a system of withholdingtaxes on such payments during a transitional period.Other countries including the Swiss Confederation,the dependent or associated territories in the Caribbean,the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, the Principalityof Monaco and the Principality of Liechtenstein willalso introduce equivalent measures to the exchange ofinformation or the withholding tax.The Directive was transposed in Luxembourg by thelaw of 21 June 2005 (the “Law”).The dividends distributed by a compartment of theFund will be subject to the Directive and the Law ifmore than 15% of the assets of the compartment areinvested in debt securities (as defined by the Law) andproceeds realised by shareholders on the redemptionor sale of shares of the compartment will be subjectto the Directive and the Law if more than 25% of theassets of this compartment are invested in debt securities(such compartments are referred to below as“affected compartment(s)”).The applicable withholding rate is 35%.Consequently, if, as part of operations conductedby an affected compartment, a Luxembourg payingagent makes a payment of dividends or redemptionproceeds directly to a shareholder who is a physicalperson, residing or considered to reside for taxpurposes in another Member State of the EuropeanUnion or in certain dependencies or associated territorieslisted above, such a payment will be subject towithholding at the rate indicated above, within thelimits described in the following paragraph.No withholding will be deducted by a Luxembourg payingagent if the physical person in question has either(i) expressly authorised the paying agent to exchangethe information with the tax authorities in compliancewith the provisions of the Law, or (ii) provided to thepaying agent a certificate of tax residency delivered bythe competent authorities of his or her country of residencein the format required by the Law.The Fund reserves the right to deny any subscrip tionif the information provided by a potential investordoes not meet the conditions established by the Lawand resulting from the Directive.The preceding provisions represent only a summaryof the different implications of the Directive andthe Law. They are based only on their current interpretationand are not intended to be exhaustive.These provisions should not in any manner be consideredas tax or investment advice and investorsshould therefore seek advice from their financialor tax advisers on the implications of the Directiveand the Law to which they may be subject.No tax reporting for the dm sub-class of shareswill be provided for German investors.BUSINESS YEARThe Fund’s business year will begin on 1 October andend on 30 September of the following year.PERIODIC REPORTS AND PUBLICATIONSThe Fund will publish audited annual reports withinfour months of the end of the business year and unauditedsemi-annual reports within two months ofthe end of the reference period.The annual report includes the financial statementsfor the Fund and each compartment.These reports will be made available to shareholdersat the Fund’s registered office and from the CustodianBank and foreign agents involved in marketingthe Fund abroad.The net asset value per share of each compartment(or each sub-class of shares) and the issue and redemptionprice are available from the CustodianBank and the foreign agents involved in marketingthe Fund abroad.Any amendment to the Articles of Association will bepublished in the Mémorial.DURATION – MERGER – DISSOLUTION OFTHE FUND AND COMPARTMENTSThe FundThe Fund is formed for an indefinite period.

If the Fund’s share capital is less than a quarter of theminimum capital required, the directors must referthe matter of dissolution of the Fund to the GeneralMeeting, deliberating without any quorum; dissolutionmay be decided by shareholders holding a quarterof the shares represented at the meeting.Merger of compartmentsThe Board of Directors may decide to merge a compartmentof the Fund with another compartment ofthe Fund or with another UCITS (Luxembourg or foreign)in accordance with the Law of 2010.The Board of Directors may in addition decide to submitthe decision to merge to the General Meeting ofthe shareholders of the compartment concerned. Anydecision of the shareholders as described above willnot be subject to a quorum requirement and will beadopted by simple majority of the votes cast. If, followinga merger of one or more compartments, theFund should cease to exist, the merger will be decidedby the General Meeting of shareholders deliberatingin compliance with the majority and quorum conditionsrequired for amending the Company’s Articlesof Association.Liquidation of compartmentsThe Board of Directors may also propose to dissolvea compartment and cancel its shares at the GeneralMeeting of Shareholders of the compartment. ThisGeneral Meeting will deliberate without any quorumrequirement and the decision to dissolve the compartmentwill be taken by a majority of the sharesfrom the compartment in question represented at theMeeting.If a compartment’s total net assets fall below EUR15,000,000 or the equivalent in the base currencyof the compartment concerned, or if justified by achange in the economic situation or political circumstancesaffecting a compartment or for economicrationalisation or if it is in the interests of the shareholders,the Board of Directors may, at any time, decideto close the compartment in question and cancelthe shares of that compartment.In the event of the dissolution of a compartment orthe Fund, the liquidation will be carried out pursuantto the applicable Luxembourg laws and regulationsthat define the procedures to enable shareholders tobenefit from liquidation divi dends and in this contextprovides for the depositing of any amount that couldnot be distributed to shareholders when the liquidationis complete with the Caisse de Consignation inLuxembourg.

Notwithstanding the individuallimits set in paragraph 1) above, a compartmentof the Fund may not combine, when this wouldlead it to invest more than 20% of its net assets inthe same entity, several of the following:– instruments in transferable securities ormoney market instruments issued by the saidentity,– deposits in the said entity, or– risks related to transactions involving OTCderivative financial instruments with the saidentity.3) The 10% limit defined in the first sentence of paragraph1) above may be raised to a maximum of35% when the transferable securities or the moneymarket instruments are issued or guaranteedby a Member State, by its local authorities, by athird state or by international public bodies ofwhich one or more Member States are members.The transferable securities and money market instrumentsmentioned in this paragraph are notaccounted for when applying the 40% limit mentionedin paragraph 2) above.4) The 10% limit defined in the first sentence ofparagraph 1) above may be raised to a maximumof 25% for certain debt securities, whenthey are issued by a credit establishment havingregistered headquarters in a Member Statethat is legally subject to special public auditingdesigned to protect holders of the bonds.

In the case that the limits defined in Articles43 and 46 of this law are exceeded, Article 49applies with necessary modifications;d) to shares held by one or more investment companiesin the capital of subsidiary companiesexercising management, advising, or sales activitiesin the country where the subsidiary isestablished in regard to the redemption of unitsat the unitholders’ request exclusively on its ownor their behalf.§21) The Fund may, for each compartment, temporarilycontract loans in a proportion not exceeding10% of the assets of the compartment concerned.2) The Fund may not grant credits or act as guarantoron behalf of third parties.The paragraph above does not prevent the acquisitionby the Fund of transferable securities,money market instruments or other financial instrumentsallowed under Book A, §1, points 5), 7)and 8) not fully paid up.3) The Fund may not, for any compartment, undertaketransactions involving the short sale oftransferable securities, money market instrumentsor other financial instruments specified inBook A, §1, points 5), 7) and 8).§3While adhering to the principle of risk spreading, anewly-approved compartment of the Fund may betemporarily exempted from Articles 43, 44, 45 and 46of the Law of 2010, for a period of six months followingthe date of its authorisation.Use of derivative financial products and instrumentsOptions, warrants, futures contracts, exchange contracts ontrans ferable securities, currencies or financial instrumentsTo ensure that the portfolio is managed effectivelyand for hedging purposes, the Fund may buy andsell call and put options, warrants and futures contracts,and conclude exchange contracts, and for thecompartments mentioned in Annexes 2 and 3, CFDs(Contracts For Difference) on transferable securities,currencies or any other type of financial instrument,provided that these derivative financial instru mentsare traded on a regulated market, operating regularly,that is recognised and open to the public; however,these derivative financial instruments may alsobe traded over-the-counter (OTC), provided they arecontracted with leading financial institutions specialisingin this type of transaction.Credit derivativesThe Fund may invest in buying and selling creditderivative financial instruments. Credit derivativeproducts are used to insulate and transfer the creditrisk associated with a base asset. There are two categoriesof credit deriva tives: “financed” and “non-financed”depending on whether or not the protectionseller has made an initial payment in relation to thebase asset.Despite the great variety of credit derivatives, thethree most common types of transaction are:The first type: transactions on credit default products(for example Credit Default Swaps (CDS) or CDS options),are transactions in which the debts of the partiesare linked to the presence or absence of one orseveral credit events in relation to the base asset. Thecredit events are defined in the contract and representa decline in the value of the base asset. Credit defaultproducts may either be paid in cash or by physicaldelivery of the base asset following the default.The second type, Total Return Swaps, are an exchangeon the economic performance of an underlyingasset without transferring ownership of the asset.When a buyer purchases a Total Return Swap, itmakes a regular payment at a variable rate, in returnfor which all the results relating to a notional amountof that asset (coupons, interest payments, change inasset value) accrue to it over a period of time agreedwith the counterparty. The use of these instrumentscan help offset the relevant compartment’s exposure.The third type, “credit spread” derivatives, are creditprotection transactions in which the payments maybe made either by the buyer or by the seller of theprotection based on the relative credit value of two ormore base assets.However, at no time may these operations be conductedfor the purpose of modifying the investmentpolicy.Application of sufficient hedging on transactions involvingderivative financial products and instruments whether or nottraded on a regulated marketSufficient hedging in the absence of a cash settlementWhen the derivative financial contract provides, eitherautomatically or at the choice of the Fund’s counterparty,for the physical delivery of the underlyingfinancial instrument on the date of expiry or on exercise,and as long as physical delivery is commonpractice for the instrument concerned, the Fund musthold the underlying financial instrument in its portfolioas a hedge.Exceptional substitution by another underlying hedge inthe absence of a cash settlementWhen the underlying financial instrument of a derivativefinancial instrument is very liquid, the Fund isallowed, on an exceptional basis, to hold other liquidassets as hedges, provided that these assets can beused at any time to acquire the underlying financialinstrument due to be delivered and that the additionalmarket risk associated with this type of transaction isadequately valued.Substitution by another underlying hedge in the event of acash settlementWhen the derivative financial instrument is settledin cash, automatically or at the Fund’s discretion, theFund is allowed to not hold the specific underlyinginstrument as a hedge. In this case, the following categoriesof instruments are acceptable hedges:a) cash;b) liquid debt securities, provided that appropriatesafeguard methods (for example, discounts or“haircuts”) exist;The original French text is the legally binding version. 65


c) any other very liquid asset, considered by reasonof its correlation with the underlying asset of thederivative instrument, provided appropriate safeguardmethods exist (such as a discount, whereapplicable).Calculating the amount of the hedgeThe amount of the hedge must be calculated using theliabilities approach.Securities lending, repurchase and reverse repurchase transactionsIn order to reduce risks or costs or to procure capitalgains or revenues for the Fund, the Fund may lendor borrow securities and engage in repurchase or reverserepurchase transactions as described below.The Fund will ensure that these transactions are keptat a level at which it can fulfil its obligation at any timeto redeem its shares and that these transactions donot compromise the management of the Fund’s assets,in compliance with its investment policies.These transactions will be conducted in compliancewith the rules specified in CSSF circular 08/356, asamended.Lending on securitiesThe Fund may lend the securities included in itsportfolio to a borrower either directly or via a standardisedlending system organised by a recognisedsecurities clearing house or by a lending system organisedby a financial institution subject to the rulesfor prudential supervision considered by the CSSF asequivalent to those stipulated by EC laws and specialisingin this type of transaction.For each securities loan transaction entered into,the Fund must receive a guarantee valued at least at90% of the overall valuation value (including interest,dividends and other rights, if any) of the securitiesloaned, for the entire duration of the loan.This guarantee must be given in the forms describedin CSSF circular 08/356:(i) in liquidities,(ii) in bonds issued or guaranteed by OECD membercountries or by their local public authorities, orCommunity, regional or global supranational organisationsand institutions,(iii) in shares or units issued by money-market-typeUCIs that calculate a daily net asset value and areclassified AAA or equivalent,(iv) in shares or units issued by UCITS that invest inbonds/shares mentioned in points (v) and (vi) below,(v) in bonds issued or guaranteed by first class issuersthat offer adequate liquidity, or(vi) in shares that are listed or traded on a regulatedmarket of a Member State of the European Unionor on a stock exchange of a member country ofthe OECD provided that these shares are includedin a major index.Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreementsThe Fund may be involved in reverse repurchaseagreements consisting of transactions at the conclusionof which the seller (counterparty) is required torepurchase the asset sold and the Fund must relinquishthe asset held.The Fund may also engage in repurchase agreementsconsisting of transactions at the conclusion of whichthe Fund is required to repurchase the asset sold andthe buyer (counterparty) must relinquish the assetheld.Purchase / sale of securities under repurchase agreementsThe Fund may act as buyer in repurchase agreementsthat consist of purchases of securities that containclauses allowing the seller (the counterparty) to repurchasefrom the Fund the securities sold, at a priceand term stipulated between the Parties at the time ofsigning the contract.The Fund may act as seller in repurchase agreementsthat consist of purchases of securities that containclauses allowing the Fund to repurchase from thebuyer (the counterparty) the securities sold, at a priceand term stipulated between the Parties at the time ofsigning the contract.Structured Finance SecuritiesThe Fund may invest in Structured Finance Securities;however, when compartments invest in structured financesecurities of the credit linked notes-type, thiswill be clearly indicated within the compartment’s investmentpolicy.Structured finance securities include, but are not limitedto, asset-backed securities, asset-backed commercialpapers and portfolio credit-linked notes.Asset-backed securities are securities that are backedby financial cash flows from a group of debt securities(current or future) or by other underlying assets thatmay or may not be fixed. Such assets may include, butare not limited to, mortgages on residential or commercialproperty, leases, credit card debts as well aspersonal or business loans. Asset-backed securitiesmay be structured in various ways, either as a “truesale”in which the underlying assets are transferredwithin an ad hoc structure that then issues the assetbackedsecurities or synthetically, in which the risklinked to underlying assets is transferred via derivativeinstruments to an ad hoc structure that issues theasset-backed securities.Portfolio credit-linked notes are securities in whichpayment of the nominal amount and the interest isdirectly or indirectly linked to one or several managedor unmanaged portfolios of reference entitiesand/or assets (“reference credit”). Until a thresholdcredit event occurs in relation to a reference credit(such as bankruptcy or payment default), a loss willbe calculated (corresponding, for example, to the differencebetween the nominal value of an asset and itsrecovery value).66 The original French text is the legally binding version.


Asset-backed securities and portfolio credit-linkednotes are usually issued in different tranches. Anylosses occurring in regard to underlying assets or,depending on the case, calculated in relation to referencecredits, are first assigned to the most juniortranches until the nominal amount of the securitiesis brought to zero, then it is assigned to the nominalamount of the next most junior tranche remainingand so on.Consequently, in the scenario that (a) for asset-backedsecurities, the underlying assets do not produce theexpected financial flows and/or (b) for portfolio credit-linkednotes, one of the credit events defined occurswith regard to one or several underlying assetsor reference credits, there may be an effect on the valueof the related securities (that may be nil) and anyamount paid on such securities (which may be nil).This may in turn affect the net asset value per shareof the compartment. Moreover, the value of the structuredfinance securities and thus the net asset valueper share of the compartment may, from time to time,be negatively affected by macro-economic factors,including for example unfavourable changes in theeconomic sector of the underlying assets or the referencecredits (including the industrial, service, andreal estate sectors), economic recession in the respectivecountries or global recession, as well as eventslinked to the inherent nature of the assets (thus, a loanto finance a project is exposed to risks related to thetype of project).The extent of such negative effects is thus linked tothe geographic and sectoral concentrations of theunderlying assets, and the type of underlying assetsor reference credits. The degree to which a particularasset-backed security or a portfolio credit-linked noteis affected by such events will depend on its issuetranche; the most junior tranches, even ones rated“investment grade”, may consequently be exposed tosubstantial risks.Investments in structured finance securities may bemore exposed to a greater liquidity risk than investingin government or corporate bonds. When a liquidmarket for these structured finance securities doesnot exist, such securities may only be traded for anamount lower than their nominal amount and not atthe market value which may, subsequently affect thenet asset value per share of the compartment.Risk managementThe Fund utilises a risk management method that allowsit at all times to monitor and measure the riskassociated with positions and the contribution of thepositions to the overall portfolio risk profile.The Fund also utilises a method that allows a preciseand independent evaluation of the value of its OTCfinancial derivatives.The Fund makes sure that the overall risk associatedwith the derivative financial instruments does notexceed the total net value of its portfolio. Risks arecalculated taking account of the current value of theunderlying assets, the counterparty risk, foreseeablechanges in the markets and the time available for liquidatingthe positions.The Fund utilises the VAR (Value at Risk) method,coupled with stress testing in order to evaluate themarket risk component of the overall risk associatedwith derivative financial instruments.The counterparty risk associated with OTC derivativefinancial instruments is evaluated in accordance withthe market value notwithstanding the necessity to usead hoc price fixing models when the market price isnot available.The original French text is the legally binding version. 67


Annex 1: Fixed-income compartmentsThis Annex will be updated to account for any change in an existing compartment or when a new compartmentis created.1. PICTET – EUR BONDSInvestor type profileThe compartment is an investment vehicle for investors:• Who wish to invest in fixed-income instrumentsdenominated in euros;• Who seek a stable saving strategy and thus havesome aversion to risk;• Who have a medium-term investment horizon (atleast 3 years).Investment policy and objectivesThis compartment invests at least two-thirds of its assetsin a diversified portfolio of bonds and convertiblebonds, within the limits allowed by the investmentrestrictions. These investments may be made in allmarkets while seeking capital growth in the base currency.A minimum of two-thirds of its total assets or wealthwill be denominated in euros.Investments in convertible bonds may not exceed20% of the net assets of the compartment and convertiblebonds quoted at over 140% will be sold.In addition, the compartment may invest up to 10% ofits net assets in UCIs, including other compartmentsof the Fund pursuant to the provisions of Article 191of the Law of 2010.The compartment may also invest up to one-third ofits assets in money market instruments.The compartment may also invest in structured products,such as bonds or other transferable securitieswhose returns are linked to the performance of anindex, transferable securities or a basket of transferablesecurities, or an undertaking for collective investment,for example.The compartment may use derivative techniques andinstruments for efficient management, within the limitsspecified in the investment restrictions.Specifically, the compartment may conduct creditdefault swaps. A credit default swap is a bilateral financialagreement under which a counterparty (the“protection buyer”) pays a premium against an undertakingby the “protection seller” to pay a certainamount if the reference issuer is the subject of a creditrisk stipulated in the contract. The pro tection buyeracquires the right to sell a particular bond issued bythe reference issuer at its face value (or at anotherbase value or strike price) if a credit risk arises. Acredit risk generally includes bankruptcy, insolvency,court-ordered reorganisation/liquida tion, reschedulingof debts or non-payment of debts payable. TheInternational Swaps and Derivatives Association(ISDA) has published standardised documentationfor these transactions, included in the ISDA MasterAgreement.Investors should be aware that the acquisition ofderivative instruments involves certain risks thatcould have a negative effect on the performance ofthe compartment.Risk management method: Absolute value-at-risk approach.Expected leverage: 100%.

Manager: PAM LtdConsolidation currency of the compartment: USDRisk factorsInvestors should be aware that, due to the politicaland economic situations in emerging countries, investmentin this compartment presents greater riskand is intended only for investors who are able tobear and assume this increased risk.Investment in this compartment is subject, amongother risks, to political risks, capital repatriation restrictions,counterparty risks, and volatility and/orilliquidity risks in the markets of the emerging countriesin question.Political and economic risksIn most of the countries in which the compartmentinvests, the governments are implementing policiesof economic and social liberalisation. Although it ispresumed that these reforms should be beneficial tothese economies in the long term, there is no assurancethat these reforms will be continued or that theywill achieve the expected results.These reforms may be challenged or slowed by politicalor social events, or by national or internationalarmed conflicts (such as the conflict in the former Yugoslavia).All these political risks may affect the capitalgains objectives set for the compartment.Currency exchange risksThe compartment’s investments will be mainly denominatedin the national currency of the issuer.Although the use of forward exchange contracts isenvisaged for hedging foreign currency exposure, investorsshould be aware that, at present, there are noestablished markets that allow hedging operations. Itmust therefore be expected that exchange risks cannotalways be hedged and the volatility of the currenciesin the countries in which the compartmentinvests may affect the net asset value of the compartment.Accounting standardsIn addition, in some emerging markets, the applicableaccounting and auditing standards are not as strict asthose applied in Western European countries. Consequently,the accounting and financial informationon the companies in which the compartment investsmay be more cursory and less reliable.Ownership of securitiesIn most of the Eastern European countries, the legalenvironment and laws governing ownership of securitiesare imprecise and do not provide the sameguarantees as the laws in Western European countries.Additionally, in the past there have been casesof fraudulent and falsified securities. There is thus agreater risk for this compartment and its shareholders.Counterparty and transaction risksThe Board of Directors and the Custodian Bank mustutilise local service providers for the safekeeping ofthe compartment’s assets and for the execution of securitiestransactions.Although the Board of Directors and the CustodianBank intend to use only the best-qualified service providersin each of the markets concerned, the choiceof providers in some countries may be very limitedand even the best-qualified providers may not offerguarantees comparable to those given by financialinstitutions and brokerage firms operating in developedcountries.Consequently, in spite of the oversight and control ofthe compartment’s assets exercised by the CustodianBank and the service providers jointly designated bythe Board of Directors, the quality of the services thatthe Board of Directors and the Custodian Bank mayobtain with regard to the execution of transactions onsecurities and their custody may be less reliable. Investorsshould be aware that this compartment, andtherefore its shareholders, will bear the risks relatedto its investments.Remittance of ordersThe shares may be subscribed, converted and redeemedeach Banking Day.

sequently, the accounting and financial informationon the companies in which the UCIs invest may bemore cursory and less reliable.Compared to investments in securities from top qualitydebtors, high-yield investments may present ahigher than average yield but may also carry greaterrisk with regard to the issuer’s solvency and the liquidityof the issue. The compartment may invest asmall proportion of its assets in debt securities whoseissuer is in financial distress or even in default of payment(“defaulted debt securities”). These are primarilysecurities for which the issuer is not able to paythe interest due and/or the principal. Consequently,an investment in this kind of securities may lead tounrealised capital losses and/or losses that can negativelyaffect the net asset value of the compartment.The compartment will ensure that it has sufficient liquidityto meet redemptions.It should be noted that as the liquidity of these securities(often traded on secondary markets betweeninstitutional investors) is generally lower than thatof investment grade debt securities, the valuation ofthese defaulted debt securities may be made moredifficult.Ownership of securitiesIn most of the emerging countries, the legal situationand the laws on ownership of securities are vagueand do not provide the same guarantees as the applicablelaws in more developed countries.Counterparty and transaction risksAlthough the Custodian Bank intends to use onlythe best-qualified service providers in each of themarkets concerned, the choice of providers in somecountries may be very limited and even the best-qualifiedproviders may not offer guarantees comparableto those given by financial institutions and brokeragefirms operating in developed countries.Remittance of ordersThe shares may be subscribed, converted and redeemedeach Banking Day.

PICTET – EMERGING LOCAL CURRENCY DEBTInvestor type profileThe compartment is an investment vehicle for investors:• Who wish to invest in fixed-income securitiesfrom issuers located in emerging markets and/orby holding money market instruments in emergingcountries;• Who are risk tolerant;• Who prefer a medium-term saving strategy (atleast 4 years).Investment policy and objectivesThe compartment’s objective is to seek revenue andcapital growth by investing a minimum of two-thirdsof its total assets or wealth in a diversified portfolio ofbonds and other debt securities linked to local emergingdebt.Emerging countries are defined as those considered,at the time of investing, as industrially developingcountries by the International Monetary Fund, theWorld Bank, the International Finance Corporation(IFC) or one of the leading investment banks. Thesecountries include, but are not limited to, the following:Mexico, <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong>, Singapore, Turkey, Poland,the Czech Republic, Hungary, Israel, South Africa,Chile, Slovakia, Brazil, the Philippines, Argentina,Thailand, South Korea, Colombia, Taiwan, Indonesia,India, China, Romania, the Ukraine, Malaysia, Croatia,and Russia.The compartment may also invest in warrants ontransferable securities and indexes and subscriptionwarrants and may use currency transactions for apurpose other than hedging.The compartment may also invest up to 25% of its netassets, not including the investments in non-deliverableforwards described below, in structured products,including in particular credit linked notes andbonds or other transferable securities whose returnsare linked to the performance of an index, transferablesecurities or a basket of transferable securities,or an undertaking for collective investment.The investments are primarily denominated in the localcurrencies of the emerging countries. In all cases,the compartment’s exposure to these currencies willbe at least two-thirds, either by direct or indirect investmentor by authorised derivative instruments.In addition, the compartment may invest up to 10% ofits net assets in UCIs.The compartment will not invest more than 10%of its assets in shares or any other similar security,derivative instruments (including warrants) and/orstructured products (in particular delta-adjusted convertiblebonds) whose underlyers are, or offer exposureto, equities or similar securities.By analogy, investments in undertakings for collectiveinvestment whose main objective is to invest inthe above-listed assets are also included in the 10%limit.The total amount of commitments resulting from currencytransactions made for purposes of speculationand hedging may not exceed 100% of the compartment’snet assets. These transactions will be conductedas non-deliverable forwards, forward contracts orother instruments such as options or currency warrants.To achieve this, the compartment may enterover-the-counter agreements with leading financialinstitutions.The compartment may conduct non-deliverable forwardtransactions. A non-deliverable forward is a bilateralfinancial futures contract on an exchange ratebetween a strong currency and an emerging currency.At maturity, there will be no delivery of the emergingcurrency, rather a cash settlement in the strongcurrency of the contract’s financial result.The International Swaps and Derivatives Association(ISDA) has published standardised documentationfor these transactions, included in the ISDA MasterAgreement. The compartment may only conductnon-deliverable forward transactions with leadingfinancial institutions that specialise in this type oftransaction, and with strict adherence to the standardisedprovisions of the ISDA master agreementprotocol.Pursuant to its investment policy, the compartmentmay hold a significant portion of liquid assets andmoney market instruments that are traded regularlyand whose residual maturity does not exceed 12months. In addition, if the manager deems that it isin the best interest of the shareholders, the compartmentmay also hold up to 33% of its net assets in liquidassets and money market instruments that areregularly traded and whose residual maturity doesnot exceed 12 months.The compartment may use derivative techniques andinstruments for efficient management, within the limitsspecified in the investment restrictions.Derivative financial instruments may include options,futures contracts on financial instruments, options onsuch contracts as well as over-the-counter swaps onvarious types of financial instruments and total returnswaps.The compartment may conduct credit default swaptransactions for up to 100% of its net assets.A credit default swap is a bilateral financial agreementunder which a counterparty (the “protectionbuyer”) pays a premium against an undertaking bythe “protection seller” to pay a certain amount if thereference issuer is the subject of a credit risk stipulatedin the contract. The protection buyer acquiresthe right to sell a particular bond issued by the referenceissuer at its face value (or at another base valueor strike price) if a credit risk arises. A credit risk generallyincludes bankruptcy, insolvency, court-orderedreorganisation/liquidation, resched uling of debts ornon-payment of debts payable. The InternationalSwaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) has publishedstandardised documentation for these transactions,included in the ISDA Master Agreement.98 The original French text is the legally binding version.


Investments in unlisted securities and in Russia otherthan on the RTS and the MICEX stock exchanges maynot exceed 10% of the compartment’s net assets.Investors should be aware that the acquisition ofderivative instruments involves certain risks thatcould have a negative effect on the performance ofthe compartment. In addition, due to their volatility,warrants present an above-average economicrisk.Risk management method: Absolute value-at-risk approach.Expected leverage: 350%. Depending on market conditions,the leverage may be greater.Method of calculating leverage: The sum of the notionalamounts.Risk profile:The compartment is subject to certain risks inherentin any investment, such as the following:• risks specific to a given market• variations in exchange rates• variations in interest rates.The capital invested may fluctuate up or down, andinvestors may not recover the entire value of the capitalinitially invested.Manager: PAM LtdSub-managers: PAM S.A., BPCALConsolidation currency of the compartment: USDInvestments in total return swapsTo synthetically replicate the return of an underlyingasset, the Fund may purchase total return swaps fromleading financial institutions that specialise in thistype of transaction. A total return swap is a transactionon the economic performance of an underlyingasset that does not include transfer of ownership ofthe asset. The Fund, as buyer of a total return swap,makes a regular payment at a variable rate in returnfor which all revenues related to a notional amount ofthe asset (coupons, interest payments, performanceof the asset value) accrue to it over a period of timeagreed upon with the counterparty. The use of theseinstruments may change the Fund’s exposure.Nonetheless, these transactions can never be made inorder to modify the investment policy.The amounts paid out by the compartment, pursuantto the total return swap contracts, are discounted atthe valuation date at the rate of the zero-coupon swapfor the flows at maturity. The amounts received by theprotection buyer, which result from a combination ofoptions, are also discounted, depending on severalparameters, including price, volatility, and the probabilityof defaults on the underlying assets. The valueof total return swap contracts results from the differencebetween the two discounted flows describedabove.Risk factorsInvestors should be aware that, due to the politicaland economic situations in emerging countries, investmentin this compartment presents greater riskand is intended only for investors who are able tobear and assume this increased risk.Investment in this compartment is subject, amongother risks, to political risks, capital repatriation restrictions,counterparty risks, and volatility and/orilliquidity risks in the markets of the emerging countriesin question.Political and economic risksIn most of the countries in which the compartmentinvests, the governments are implementing policiesof economic and social liberalisation. Although it ispresumed that these reforms should be beneficial tothese economies in the long term, there is no assurancethat these reforms will be continued or that theywill achieve the expected results.These reforms may be challenged or slowed by politicalor social events, or by national or internationalarmed conflicts (such as the conflict in the former Yugoslavia).All these political risks may affect the capitalgains objectives set for the compartment.Volatility and illiquidity risksDue to the above-mentioned risk of instability causedby political and economic developments, the ratesfor transferable securities in which the compartmentinvests may fluctuate significantly in short-term periods.Although the compartment intends to investpredominantly in listed securities or in securitiestraded on regulated markets, some risk of illiquiditymay still exist, due to the relatively undeveloped natureof the stock markets in the countries in questioncompared to those of the more developed countriesin Western Europe. Due to the risk of volatility, thiscompartment can only be recommended for longterminvestments. This risk is accentuated by the riskof illiquidity, which, in crisis periods, may give riseto suspension of the calculation of the net asset valueand momentarily impede the right of shareholders toredeem their shares.Currency exchange risksThe compartment’s investments will be mainly denominatedin the national currency of the issuer.Although the use of forward exchange contracts isenvisaged for hedging foreign currency exposure, investorsshould be aware that, at present, there are noestablished markets that allow hedging operations. Itmust therefore be expected that exchange risks cannotalways be hedged and the volatility of the currenciesin the countries in which the compartmentinvests may affect the net asset value of the compartment.Accounting standardsIn addition, in some emerging markets, the applicableaccounting and auditing standards are not as strict asthose applied in Western European countries. Consequently,the accounting and financial informationon the companies in which the compartment investsmay be more cursory and less reliable.The original French text is the legally binding version. 99


Ownership of securitiesIn most of the Eastern European countries, the legalenvironment and laws governing ownership of securitiesare imprecise and do not provide the sameguarantees as the laws in Western European countries.Additionally, in the past there have been casesof fraudulent and falsified securities. There is thus agreater risk for this compartment and its shareholders.Counterparty and transaction risksThe Board of Directors and the Custodian Bank mustutilise local service providers for the safekeeping ofthe compartment’s assets and for the execution of securitiestransactions.Although the Board of Directors and the CustodianBank intend to use only the best-qualified service providersin each of the markets concerned, the choiceof providers in some countries may be very limitedand even the best-qualified providers may not offerguarantees comparable to those given by financialinstitutions and brokerage firms operating in developedcountries.Consequently, in spite of the oversight and control ofthe compartment’s assets exercised by the CustodianBank and the service providers jointly designated bythe Board of Directors, the quality of the services thatthe Board of Directors and the Custodian Bank mayobtain with regard to the execution of transactions onsecurities and their custody may be less reliable.

In all cases, thecompartment’s exposure to these currencies will be atleast 2/3, either by direct or indirect investment or byauthorised derivative instruments.These transactions will be in particular conducted bymeans of non-deliverable forwards.A non-deliverable forward is a bilateral financial futurescontract on an exchange rate between a strongcurrency and an emerging currency. At maturity,there will be no delivery of the emerging currency;instead there is a cash settlement of the contract’s financialresult in the strong currency.The International Swaps and Derivatives Association(ISDA) has published standardised documentationfor these transactions, which is described in theISDA Master Agreement. The compartment may onlyconduct non-deliverable forward transactions withleading financial institutions that specialise in thistype of transaction, and with strict adherence to thestandardised provisions of the ISDA master agreementprotocol.In pursuit of its investment policy (direct and indirectinvestments), the compartment may invest up to 100%in money market instruments, monetary funds (up to10%), floating-rate bonds whose residual maturity onindividual investments does not exceed 12 monthsor whose return is subject to regular adjustments, atleast every 397 days, in conformity with the conditionsof the monetary market, or whose risk profile, inparticular regarding credit risk and interest rate risk,corresponds to that for instruments that have a maturityor residual maturity in conformity with thosementioned above, and any other kind of debt instrumentprovided that these are issued or guaranteed bya government or public corporation in the OECD orby international public organisations, including Switzerlandor a Member State of the European Union.The compartment may also hold liquidities on an ancillarybasis. The compartment may however, in orderto reduce exposure to market risk, temporarilyhold up to 100% of its net assets in liquidities.The compartment may conduct credit default swaptransactions for up to 100% of its net assets.A credit default swap is a bilateral financial agreementunder which a counterparty (the “protection buyer”)pays a premium against an undertaking by the “protectionseller” to pay a certain amount if the referenceissuer is the subject of a credit risk stipulated in thecontract. The protection buyer acquires the right tosell a particular bond issued by the reference issuerat its face value (or at another base value or strikeprice) if a credit risk arises. A credit risk generallyincludes bankruptcy, insolvency, court-ordered reorganisation/liquidation,rescheduling of debts or nonpaymentof debts payable. The International Swapsand Derivatives Association (ISDA) has publishedstandardised documentation for these transactions,which is described in the ISDA Master Agreement.Investments in unlisted securities and in Russia otherthan on the RTS and the MICEX stock exchanges, willnot exceed 10% of the compartment’s net assets.Investors should be aware that the acquisition ofderivative instruments involves certain risks thatcould have a negative effect on the performance ofThe original French text is the legally binding version. 105

Depending on market conditions,the leverage may be greater.Method of calculating leverage: The sum of the notionalamounts.Risk profile:The compartment is subject to certain risks inherentin any investment, such as the following:• risks specific to a given market• variations in exchange rates• variations in interest rates.The capital invested may fluctuate up or down, andinvestors may not recover the entire value of the capitalinitially invested.Manager: PAM LtdSub-managers: PAM S.A., BPCALConsolidation currency of the compartment: USDInvestment in total return swapsTo synthetically replicate the return of an underlyingasset, the Fund may purchase total return swaps fromleading financial institutions that specialise in thistype of transaction. A total return swap is a transactionon the economic performance of an underlyingasset that does not include transfer of ownership ofthe asset. The Fund, as buyer of a total return swap,makes a regular payment at a variable rate in returnfor which all revenues related to a notional amount ofthe asset (coupons, interest payments, performanceof the asset value) accrue to it over a period of timeagreed upon with the counterparty. The use of theseinstruments may change the Fund’s exposure.Nonetheless, these transactions can never be made inorder to modify the investment policy.The amounts paid out by the compartment, pursuantto the total return swap contracts, are discounted atthe valuation date at the zero-coupon swap rate forthe flows at maturity. The amounts received by theprotection buyer, which result from a combination ofoptions, are also discounted, depending on severalparameters, including price, volatility, and the probabilityof defaults on the underlying assets. The valueof total return swap contracts results from the differencebetween the two discounted flows describedabove.Risk factorsInvestors should be aware that, due to the politicaland economic situations in emerging countries, investmentin this compartment presents greater riskand is intended only for investors who are able tobear and assume this increased risk. This compartmentis generally only suitable for investors seeking along-term investment.Investment in this compartment is subject, amongother risks, to political risks, capital repatriation restrictions,counterparty risks, and volatility and/orilliquidity risks in the markets of the emerging countriesin question.Political and economic risksIn most of the countries in which the compartmentinvests, the governments are implementing policiesof economic and social liberalisation. Although it ispresumed that these reforms should be beneficial tothese economies in the long term, there is no assurancethat these reforms will be continued or that theywill achieve the expected results.These reforms may be challenged or slowed by politicalor social events, or by national or internationalarmed conflicts (such as the conflict in the former Yugoslavia).All these political risks may affect the capitalgains objectives set for the compartment.Volatility and illiquidity risksDue to the above-mentioned risk of instability causedby political and economic developments, the pricesfor transferable securities in which the compartmentinvests may fluctuate significantly in short-term periods.Although the compartment intends to invest predominantlyin listed securities or in securities tradedon regulated markets, some risk of illiquidity may stillexist, due to the relatively undeveloped nature of thestock markets in the countries in question comparedto those of the more developed countries in WesternEurope. Due to the risk of volatility, this compartmentcan only be recommended for long-term investments.The risk is accentuated by the risk of illiquidity, which,in crisis periods, may give rise to suspension of thecalculation of the net asset value and temporarily impedethe right of shareholders to redeem their shares.Currency exchange risksThe compartment’s investments will be mainly denominatedin the national currency of the issuer.Although the use of forward exchange contracts isenvisaged for hedging foreign currency exposure, investorsshould be aware that, at present, there are noestablished markets that allow hedging operations. Itmust therefore be expected that exchange risks cannotalways be hedged and the volatility of the currenciesin the countries in which the compartmentinvests may affect the net asset value of the compartment.Accounting standardsIn addition, in some emerging markets, the applicableaccounting and auditing standards are not as strict asthose applied in Western European countries. Consequently,the accounting and financial informationon the companies in which the compartment investsmay be more cursory and less reliable.Ownership of securitiesIn most Eastern European countries, the legal environmentand laws governing ownership of securitiesare imprecise and do not provide the same guaranteesas the laws in Western European countries. Additionally,in the past there have been cases of fraudulent106 The original French text is the legally binding version.

There is thus a greater risk forthis compartment and its shareholders.Counterparty and transaction risksThe Board of Directors and the Custodian Bank willhave to utilise local service providers for the safekeepingof the compartment’s assets and for the executionof securities transactions.Although the Board of Directors and the CustodianBank intend to use only the best-qualified service providersin each of the markets concerned, the choiceof providers in some countries may be very limitedand even the best-qualified providers may not offerguarantees comparable to those given by financialinstitutions and brokerage firms operating in developedcountries.Consequently, in spite of the oversight and control ofthe compartment’s assets exercised by the CustodianBank and the service providers jointly designated bythe Board of Directors, the quality of the services thatthe Board of Directors and the Custodian Bank mayobtain with regard to the execution of transactions onsecurities and their custody may be less reliable.

22. PICTET – US HIGH YIELDInvestor type profileThe compartment is an investment vehicle for investors:• Who wish to invest in high-yield bonds denominatedin USD;• Who have medium to high risk aversion.Investment policy and objectivesThis compartment invests primarily in a diversifiedportfolio of high-yield bonds including fixed-rate,variable-rate or convertible bonds.The compartment may also invest in asset-backedsecurities (bonds whose real assets guarantee theinvestment), in debt securitisations (such as but notexclusively ABS and MBS) as well as other debt securitiesin compliance with Article 2 of the Luxembourgregulation of 8 February 2008.Investment in ABS and MBS will represent a maximumof 10% of the compartment’s net assets.Likewise, the compartment may invest up to a maximumof 10% of its net assets in banking loans thatare considered (with respect to Articles 2 or 3 and 4of the Luxembourg regulation of 8 February 2008) astransferable securities or money market instrumentslisted or traded on regulated markets, within the limitsstipulated by the investment restrictions.Investments in convertible bonds may not exceed20% of the net assets of the compartment, and convertiblebonds quoted at over 140% will be sold.In seeking capital appreciation in the base currency,these investments may be made on all markets, butmainly in securities traded on the US domestic marketor in securities of issuers residing in the US and/or whose main business and/or principal registeredoffice are located in the US.The compartment’s assets will be mainly denominatedin American dollars.The compartment may also invest in structured products,such as bonds or other transferable securitieswhose returns may be linked to the performance ofan index, transferable securities or a basket of transferablesecurities, or an undertaking for collective investment.If the manager deems it necessary in the best interestof the shareholders, the compartment may hold upto 100% of its net assets in liquidities, e.g. deposits,money market instruments, money market investmentfunds (within the 10% limit mentioned below).In addition, the compartment may invest up to 10% ofits net assets in UCIs.The compartment will not invest more than 10%of its assets in shares or any other similar security,derivative instruments (including warrants) and/orstructured products (in particular delta-adjusted convertiblebonds) whose underlyers are, or offer exposureto, equities or similar securities.By analogy, investments in undertakings for collectiveinvestment whose main objective is to invest inthe above-listed assets are also included in the 10%limit.The compartment may use derivative financial techniquesand instruments for efficient management,within the limits specified in the investment restrictions.Specifically, the compartment may conduct creditdefault swaps. A credit default swap is a bilateral financialagreement under which a counterparty (theprotection buyer) pays a premium against an undertakingby the protection seller to pay a certainamount if the base issuer is the subject of a credit riskstipulated in the contract. The protection buyer acquiresthe right to sell a particular bond issued by thebase issuer at its face value (or at another base valueor strike price) if a credit risk arises. A credit risk generallyincludes bankruptcy, insolvency, court-orderedreorganisation/liquidation, rescheduling of debts inarrears or non-payment of debts payable. The InternationalSwaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA)has published standardised documentation for thesetransactions, which is described in the ISDA MasterAgreement.Investors should be aware that the acquisition ofderivative financial instruments involves certainrisks that could have a negative effect on the performanceof the compartment.Risk factorsIn some countries that are considered emergingcountries, the applicable accounting and auditingstandards are not as strict as those applied in moredeveloped countries. In this regard, investors shouldbe aware of political instability, volatile and illiquidmarkets and the absence of market regulations. Consequently,the accounting and financial informationon the companies in which the compartment investsmay be more cursory and less reliable.Compared to investments in securities from top qualitydebtors, high-yield investments may present ahigher than average yield but may also carry greaterrisk with regard to the issuer’s solvency and the liquidityof the issue. The compartment may invest asmall proportion of its assets in debt securities whoseissuer is in financial distress or even in default of payment(“defaulted debt securities”). These are primarilysecurities for which the issuer is not able to paythe interest due and/or the principal. Consequently,an investment in this kind of securities may lead tounrealised capital losses and/or losses that can negativelyaffect the net asset value of the compartment.The compartment will ensure that it has sufficient liquidityto meet redemptions.It should be noted that as the liquidity of these securities(often traded on secondary markets betweeninstitutional investors) is generally lower than thatof investment grade debt securities, the valuation ofthese defaulted debt securities may be made moredifficult.The original French text is the legally binding version. 117

A credit default swap is a bilateral financialagreement under which a counterparty (the“protection buyer”) pays a premium against an undertakingby the “protection seller” to pay a certainamount if the reference issuer is the subject of a creditrisk stipulated in the contract. The protection buyeracquires the right to sell a particular bond issued bythe base issuer at its face value (or at another basevalue or strike price) if a credit risk arises. A creditrisk generally includes bankruptcy, insolvency, courtorderedreorganisation/liquida tion, rescheduling ofdebts or non-payment of debts payable.

25. PICTET – GLOBAL BONDS FUNDAMENTALInvestor type profileThe compartment is an investment vehicle for investors:• Who wish to invest in fixed-income securitiesfrom issuers located in developed and emergingeconomies. These investments will be denominatedin one of the main currencies or in a currencyof an emerging country;• Who are risk tolerant;• Who prefer a medium-term saving strategy (atleast 4 years).Investment policy and objectivesThe objective of this compartment is to seek revenueand capital growth.This compartment invests mainly in a diversifiedportfolio of bonds and other debt securities issuedor guaranteed by national or local governments indeveloped or emerging countries, or by supranationalorganisations, without limitation regarding thechoice of the currency in which the securities are denominated.The compartment’s exposure to certain local currencieswill be obtained by direct or indirect investments,such as via derivative financial instruments.The manager will select the securities based on a fundamentalapproach that takes account of the mainmacro-economic indicators (Gross domestic product,population, debt, etc.).Emerging countries are defined as those considered,at the time of investing, as industrially developingcountries by the International Monetary Fund, theWorld Bank, the International Finance Corporation(IFC) or one of the leading investment banks. Thesecountries include, but are not limited to, the following:Mexico, <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong>, Singapore, Turkey, Poland,the Czech Republic, Hungary, Israel, South Africa,Chile, Slovakia, Brazil, the Philippines, Argentina,Thailand, South Korea, Colombia, Taiwan, Indonesia,India, China, Romania, Ukraine, Malaysia, Croatiaand Russia.In addition, the compartment may invest up to 10% ofits net assets in UCIs.The compartment may also invest in structured products,such as bonds or other transferable securitieswhose returns may for example be linked to the performanceof an index, transferable securities or abasket of transferable securities, or an undertakingfor collective investment.To ensure that the portfolio is managed effectivelyand for hedging purposes, and within the limits of theinvestment restrictions set out in the body of the prospectus,the compartment may use any type of financialderivative instrument traded on a regulated and/or over-the-counter (OTC) market if obtained froma leading financial institution that specializes in thistype of transaction. In particular, the compartmentmay, among other investments but not exclusively, investin warrants, futures, options, swaps (such as totalreturn swaps, contracts for difference) and futurescontracts with underlying assets compliant with thelaw of 17 December 2010 and the compartment’s investmentpolicy, as well as currencies (including nondeliverableforwards), interest rates, transferablesecurities, a basket of transferable securities, indices(for example commodities, precious metals, and volatility,etc.) and undertakings for collective investment.The total amount of commitments resulting from currencytransactions made for purposes of speculationand hedging may not exceed 100% of the compartment’snet assets. These transactions will be conductedas non-deliverable forwards, forward contracts orother instruments such as options or currency warrants.To achieve this, the compartment may enterinto over-the-counter agreements with leading financialinstitutions.The compartment may conduct non-deliverable forwardtransactions. A non-deliverable forward is a bilateralfinancial futures contract on an exchange ratebetween a strong currency and an emerging currency.At maturity, there will be no delivery of the emergingcurrency; instead there is a cash settlement of thecontract’s financial result in the strong currency.The International Swaps and Derivatives Association(ISDA) has published standardised documentationfor these transactions included in the ISDA MasterAgreement. The compartment may only conductnon-deliverable forward transactions with leadingfinancial institutions that specialise in this type oftransaction, and with strict adherence to the standardisedprovisions of the ISDA master agreementprotocol.The compartment may conduct credit default swaptransactions for up to 100% of its net assets.A credit default swap is a bilateral financial agreementunder which a counterparty (the “protectionbuyer”) pays a premium against an undertaking bythe “protection seller” to pay a certain amount if thereference issuer is the subject of a credit risk stipulatedin the contract. The protection buyer acquiresthe right to sell a particular bond issued by the referenceissuer at its face value (or at another base valueor strike price) if a credit risk arises. A credit risk generallyincludes bankruptcy, insolvency, court-orderedreorganisation/liquida tion, rescheduling of debts ornon-payment of debts payable. The InternationalSwaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) has publishedstandardised documentation for these transactionsincluded in the ISDA Master Agreement.Investments in unlisted securities and in Russia otherthan on the RTS and the MICEX stock exchanges, willnot exceed 10% of the compartment’s net assets.The compartment will not invest more than 10% of itsassets in shares or any other similar security, derivativefinancial instruments (including warrants) and/or structured products (in particular delta-adjustedconvertible bonds) whose underlyers are, or offer exposureto, equities or similar securities.The original French text is the legally binding version. 125


By analogy, investments in undertakings for collectiveinvestment whose main objective is to invest inthe above-listed assets are also included in the 10%limit.If the manager deems it necessary and in the best interestof the shareholders, the compartment may holdup to 100% of its net assets in liquidities, i.e. deposits,money market instruments, and monetary-type UCIsand/or UCITS (within the above-mentioned 10% limitfor UCIs).Investors should be aware that the acquisition ofderivative financial instruments involves certainrisks that could have a negative effect on the performanceof the compartment.Risk management method: Relative value at risk (VaR),comparing the VaR of the compartment with the VaRof the benchmark, the Citigroup WGBI index.Expected leverage: 50%. Depending on market conditions,the leverage may be greater.Method of calculating leverage: The sum of the notionalamounts.Risk profile:The compartment is subject to certain risks inherentin any investment, such as the following:• risks specific to a given market• variations in exchange rates• variations in interest rates.The capital invested may fluctuate up or down, andinvestors may not recover the entire value of the capitalinitially invested.Manager: PAM S.A., PAM LtdConsolidation currency of the compartment: USDInvestment in total return swapsTo synthetically replicate the return of an underlyingasset, the compartment may purchase total returnswaps from leading financial institutions thatspecialise in this type of transaction. A total returnswap is a transaction on the economic performanceof an underlying asset that does not include transferof ownership of the asset. The compartment, as buyerof a total return swap, makes a regular payment at avariable rate in return for which all revenues relatedto a notional amount of the asset (coupons, interestpayments, performance of the asset value) accrue toit over a period of time agreed upon with the counterparty.The use of these instruments may change thecompartment’s exposure.Nonetheless, these transactions can never be made inorder to modify the investment policy.The amounts paid out by the compartment, pursuantto the total return swap contracts, are discounted atthe valuation date at the zero-coupon swap rate forthe flows at maturity. The amounts received by theprotection buyer, which result from a combination ofoptions, are also discounted, depending on severalparameters, including price, volatility, and the probabilityof defaults on the underlying assets. The valueof total return swap contracts results from the differencebetween the two discounted flows describedabove.Risk factorsInvestors should be aware that, due to the politicaland economic situations in emerging countries, investmentin this compartment presents greater riskand is intended only for investors who are able tobear and assume this increased risk. In principle, thiscompartment can only be offered to investors whowish to make a medium-term investment.Investment in this compartment is subject, amongother risks, to political risks, capital repatriation restrictions,counterparty risks, and volatility and/orilliquidity risks in the markets of the emerging countriesin question.Political and economic risksIn most of the countries in which the compartmentinvests, the governments are implementing policiesof economic and social liberalisation. Although it ispresumed that these reforms should be beneficial tothese economies in the long term, there is no assurancethat these reforms will be continued or that theywill achieve the expected results.These reforms may be challenged or slowed by politicalor social events, or by national or internationalarmed conflicts (such as the conflict in the former Yugoslavia).All these political risks may affect the capitalgains objectives set for the compartment.Volatility and illiquidity risksDue to the above-mentioned risk of instability causedby political and economic developments, the pricesfor transferable securities in which the compartmentinvests may fluctuate significantly in short-term periods.Although the compartment intends to invest predominantlyin listed securities or in securities tradedon regulated markets, some risk of illiquidity may stillexist, due to the relatively undeveloped nature of thestock markets in the countries in question comparedto those of the more developed countries in WesternEurope. Due to the risk of volatility, this compartmentcan only be recommended for long-term investments.The risk is accentuated by the risk of illiquidity, which,in crisis periods, may give rise to suspension of thecalculation of the net asset value and temporarily impedethe right of shareholders to redeem their shares.Currency exchange risksThe compartment’s investments will be mainly denominatedin the national currency of the issuer.Although the use of forward exchange contracts isenvisaged for hedging foreign currency exposure, investorsshould be aware that, at present, there are noestablished markets that allow hedging operations. Itmust therefore be expected that exchange risks cannotalways be hedged and the volatility of the currenciesin the countries in which the compartmentinvests may affect the net asset value of the compartment.Accounting standardsIn addition, in some emerging markets, the applicableaccounting and auditing standards are not as strict as126 The original French text is the legally binding version.


those applied in Western European countries. Consequently,the accounting and financial informationon the companies in which the compartment investsmay be more cursory and less reliable.Ownership of securitiesIn most Eastern European countries, the legal environmentand laws governing ownership of securitiesare imprecise and do not provide the same guaranteesas the laws in Western European countries. Additionally,in the past there have been cases of fraudulentand falsified securities. There is thus a greater risk forthis compartment and its shareholders.Counterparty and transaction risksThe Board of Directors and the Custodian Bank willhave to utilise local service providers for the safekeepingof the compartment’s assets and for the executionof securities transactions.Although the Board of Directors and the CustodianBank intend to use only the best-qualified service providersin each of the markets concerned, the choiceof providers in some countries may be very limitedand even the best-qualified providers may not offerguarantees comparable to those given by financialinstitutions and brokerage firms operating in developedcountries.Consequently, in spite of the oversight and control ofthe compartment’s assets exercised by the CustodianBank and the service providers jointly designated bythe Board of Directors, the quality of the services thatthe Board of Directors and the Custodian Bank mayobtain with regard to the execution of transactions onsecurities and their custody may be less reliable.

The compartment may invest asmall proportion of its assets in debt securities whoseissuer is in financial distress or even in default of payment(“defaulted debt securities”).

However, dependingon market conditions, the investments maybe focused on one or a limited number of countriesand/or one economic activity sector and/or one currency.In the event that the credit rating of a security held bythe compartment is downgraded to “non-investmentgrade”, the security may be kept or sold, at the Manager’sdiscretion, provided that the investments thatare not investment grade do not exceed 25% of thecompartment’s net assets.The compartment may also invest in structured productssuch as credit linked notes, bonds or other transferablesecurities whose returns are, for example,related to the performance of an index in accordancewith Article 9 of the regulations of the Grand-Duchyof Luxembourg of 8 February 2008, transferable securitiesor a basket of transferable securities, or anundertaking for collective investment in accordancewith the regulations of the Grand Duchy of 8 February2008.In addition, the compartment may invest up to 10% ofits net assets in UCIs.The compartment will not invest more than 10 % ofits assets in shares or similar securities, derivativeinstruments (including warrants) and/or structuredproducts (in particular delta-adjusted convertiblebonds) and/or UCIs that have as underlyers, or offerexposure to, shares or similar securities.The compartment may conduct non-deliverable forwardtransactions. A non-deliverable forward is a bilateralfinancial futures contract on an exchange ratebetween a strong currency and an emerging currency.At maturity, there will be no delivery of the emergingcurrency; instead there is a cash settlement of thecontract’s financial result in the strong currency.The compartment may use derivative techniques andinstruments for hedging or for efficient portfoliomanagement within the limits stipulated by the investmentrestrictions.Derivative financial instruments may include options,futures contracts on financial instruments, options onsuch contracts as well as over-the-counter swaps onany type of financial instrument, total return swaps,credit default swaps and/or non delivery forwards.A credit default swap is a bilateral financial agreementunder which a counterparty (the “protectionbuyer”) pays a premium against an undertaking bythe “protection seller” to pay a certain amount if thebase issuer is the subject of a credit risk stipulated inthe contract. The protection buyer acquires the rightto sell a particular bond issued by the reference issuerat its face value (or at another base value or strikeprice) if a credit risk arises. A credit risk generallyincludes bankruptcy, insolvency, court-ordered reorganisation/liquidation,rescheduling of debts or nonpaymentof debts payable. The International Swapsand Derivatives Association (ISDA) has publishedstandardised documentation for these transactions,included in the ISDA Master Agreement.Investments in unlisted securities and in Russia otherthan on the RTS and the MICEX stock exchanges willnot exceed 10% of the compartment’s net assets.If the manager deems it necessary and in the bestinterest of the shareholders, the compartment mayhold up to 100% of its net assets in liquidities, such asdeposits, money market instruments, and monetarytypeUCIs and UCITS (within the above-mentioned10% limit).Investors should be aware that the acquisition ofderivative instruments involves certain risks thatcould have a negative effect on the performance ofthe compartment. In addition, due to their volatility,warrants present an above-average economicrisk.132 The original French text is the legally binding version.


Risk management method: Relative value at risk (VaR),comparing the VaR of the compartment with the VaRof the benchmark, the JPM GBI-EM Glbl Div. Inv.Grade 15% Cap.Expected leverage: 400%. Depending on market conditions,the leverage may be greater.Method of calculation of leverage: The sum of the notionalamounts.Risk profile:The compartment is subject to certain risks inherentin any investment, such as the following:• risks specific to a given market• variations in exchange rates• variations in interest rates.The capital invested may fluctuate up or down, andinvestors may not recover the entire value of the capitalinitially invested.Manager: PAM LtdSub-managers: PAM S.A., BPCALConsolidation currency of the compartment: USDInvestment in total return swapsTo synthetically replicate the return of an underlyingasset, the Fund may purchase total return swaps fromleading financial institutions that specialise in thistype of transaction. A total return swap is a transactionon the economic performance of an underlyingasset that does not include transfer of ownership ofthe asset. The Fund, as buyer of a total return swap,makes a regular payment at a variable rate in returnfor which all revenues related to a notional amount ofthe asset (coupons, interest payments, performanceof the asset value) accrue to it over a period of timeagreed upon with the counterparty. The use of theseinstruments may change the Fund’s exposure.Nonetheless, these transactions can never be made inorder to modify the investment policy.The amounts paid out by the compartment, pursuantto the total return swap contracts, are discounted atthe valuation date at the zero-coupon swap rate forthe flows at maturity. The amounts received by theprotection buyer, which result from a combination ofoptions, are also discounted, depending on several parameters,including price, volatility, and the probabilityof defaults on the underlying assets. The value oftotal return swap contracts results from the differencebetween the two discounted flows described above.Risk factorsInvestors should be aware that, due to the politicaland economic environments in emerging countries,investment in this compartment presents greater riskand is intended only for investors who are able tobear and assume this increased risk.Investment in this compartment is subject, amongother risks, to political risks, capital repatriation restrictions,counterparty risks, and volatility and/orilliquidity risks in the markets of the emerging countriesin question.Political and economic risksIn most of the countries in which the compartmentinvests, the governments are implementing policiesof economic and social liberalisation. Although it ispresumed that these reforms should be beneficial tothese economies in the long term, there is no assurancethat these reforms will be continued or that theywill achieve the expected results.These reforms may be challenged or slowed by politicalor social events, or by national or internationalarmed conflicts (such as the conflict in the former Yugoslavia).All these political risks may affect the capitalgains objectives set for the compartment.Volatility and illiquidity risksDue to the above-mentioned risk of instability causedby political and economic developments, the pricesfor transferable securities in which the compartmentinvests may fluctuate significantly in short-term periods.Although the compartment intends to invest predominantlyin listed securities or in securities tradedon regulated markets, some risk of illiquidity may stillexist, due to the relatively undeveloped nature of thestock markets in the countries in question comparedto those of the more developed countries in WesternEurope. Due to the risk of volatility, this compartmentcan only be recommended for long-term investments.The risk is accentuated by the risk of illiquidity, which,in crisis periods, may give rise to suspension of thecalculation of the net asset value and temporarily impedethe right of shareholders to redeem their shares.Currency exchange risksThe compartment’s investments will be mainly denominatedin the national currency of the issuer. Althoughthe use of forward exchange contracts is envisaged forhedging foreign currency exposure, investors shouldbe aware that, at present, there are no establishedmarkets that allow hedging operations. It must thereforebe expected that exchange risks cannot always behedged and the volatility of the currencies in the countriesin which the compartment invests may affect thenet asset value of the compartment.Accounting standardsIn addition, in some emerging markets, the applicableaccounting and auditing standards are not as strict asthose applied in Western European countries. Consequently,the accounting and financial informationon the companies in which the compartment investsmay be more cursory and less reliable.Ownership of securitiesIn most Eastern European countries, the legal environmentand laws governing ownership of securitiesare imprecise and do not provide the same guaranteesas the laws in Western European countries. Additionally,in the past there have been cases of fraudulentand falsified securities. There is thus a greater risk forthis compartment and its shareholders.Counterparty and transaction risksThe Board of Directors and the Custodian Bank willhave to utilise local service providers for the safekeepingof the compartment’s assets and for the executionof securities transactions.The original French text is the legally binding version. 133


Although the Board of Directors and the CustodianBank intend to use only the best-qualified service providersin each of the markets concerned, the choiceof providers in some countries may be very limitedand even the best-qualified providers may not offerguarantees comparable to those given by financialinstitutions and brokerage firms operating in developedcountries.Consequently, in spite of the oversight and control ofthe compartment’s assets exercised by the CustodianBank and the service providers jointly designated bythe Board of Directors, the quality of the services thatthe Board of Directors and the Custodian Bank mayobtain with regard to the execution of transactions onsecurities and their custody may be less reliable. Investorsshould be aware that this compartment, andtherefore its shareholders, will bear the risks relatedto its investments.Remittance of ordersThe shares may be subscribed, converted and redeemedeach Banking Day.

Indirectinvestments are generally covered by the doubletaxation agreement (DTA) in existence betweenIndia and Mauritius.To this end, the Management Company will use theportion of the compartment’s assets available forinvestment in India to acquire all the PFML shareswhich will thus be controlled entirely by the Fund.PFML shares will be issued in registered form only.140 The original French text is the legally binding version.


The exclusive purpose of PFML is to perform advisoryactivities on behalf of the compartment. The PFMLBoard of Directors includes:Eric A VenpinJimmy Wong Yuen TienPascal ChauvauxLaurent RamseyChristoph SchweizerThe Board of Directors will at all times include at leasttwo residents of Mauritius and a majority of directorswho are also directors of the Fund.PFML’s advisory activities for the compartment includeproviding regular information regarding theapplicability of the treaty between India and Mauritiusas well as making investment recommendationsfor the Indian market. PFML also advises in cases ofredemptions of the compartment’s shares greaterthan 20% of the net value in order to enable the managerto divest as necessary when faced with large volumesof redemption requests.The financial statements of PFML will be audited byDeloitte S.A., which is the statutory auditor for theFund, or by any other statutory auditor establishedin Mauritius that is an associate of the Fund’s statutoryauditor. For the establishment of the compartment’sfinancial statements and semi-annual andannual reports, PFML’s financial results will be consolidatedin the financial results of the compartment.Similarly, these reports will contain a breakdown ofthe compartment’s portfolio in terms of the underlyingsecurities held by PFML. In accordance with theinvestment restrictions contained in the prospectus,the underlying investments will be taken into considerationas if PFML did not exist.PFML was initially incorporated on 3 May 1996 as an“Offshore” limited company under the Mauritius OffshoreBusiness Activities Act 1992.PFML has been granted a tax residence certificatefrom the Commissioner of Income Tax in Mauritius.Accordingly, PFML is considered to be resident inMauritius for tax purposes and may thus benefit fromthe DTA. However, there is no guarantee that PFMLwill be able to maintain its tax resident status, and thetermination of this status could result in the loss oftax benefits, thereby affecting the compartment’s netasset value per share.PFML operates as a “Collective Investment Scheme”and an “Expert Fund”, and is reserved for “Expert Investors”.According to Section 78 of the “Securities (CollectiveInvestment Schemes and Closed-end <strong>Funds</strong>) Regulations2008”, an “Expert Investor” means:(i) An investor who invests on his or her own behalfa minimum initial amount of USD100,000;or(ii) A sophisticated investor as defined in the “SecuritiesAct 2005 (with amendments 2007)”, or anyinvestor defined in a similar manner in any otherlaw.Investors in PFML are not protected by any legal provisionof Mauritius in the event of the bankruptcy ofPFML.The Mauritian supervisory commission (“the MauritiusFinancial Services Commission”) does not answerfor the solvency of PFML or to the accuracy ofany statement or opinion issued in its regard.Correspondent of the Custodian Bank in IndiaThe Custodian Bank has appointed Deutsche BankAG, Mumbai Branch, as local custodian of the securitiesand other assets of the compartment in India.Risk factorsInvestors should be aware of the fragile politicalenvironment in certain countries in whichthe compartment invests. Investors should notexclude the possibility that political disturbancescould permanently or temporarily disrupt the financialsystem in a given country.

The Fund’s investmentsin India are largely dependent on theFII status granted to the manager, and, while itmay be assumed that this authorisation will berenewed, this cannot be guaranteed.b) In accordance with Indian legislation governingforeign investments, the compartment’s assetsmust be held by the Indian correspondent onbehalf of <strong>Pictet</strong> Asset Management Ltd, a PFMLsub-account.c) By investing through PFML, the Fund intendsto benefit from the DTA concluded betweenMauritius and India, as described more fullyabove. It cannot be guaranteed that the Fundwill always have these tax advantages. Furthermore,amendments could also be made tothe DTA, and these could affect the taxation ofthe Fund’s investments and/or the taxation ofPFML and, consequently, the value of sharesin the Fund.Remittance of ordersThe shares may be subscribed, converted and redeemedeach Banking Day.

31. PICTET – EASTERN EUROPEInvestor type profileThe compartment is an investment vehicle for investors:• Who wish to invest in shares issued by companieswith headquarters in and/or whose mainactivities are conducted in Eastern Europe, includingRussia and Turkey;• Who are willing to bear significant variations inmarket value and thus have a low aversion to risk;• Who have a long-term investment horizon (atleast 7 years).Investment policy and objectivesThis compartment invests at least two-thirds of its totalassets or wealth in transferable securities issuedby companies with headquarters in and/or whosemain activity is conducted in Eastern European countries.This compartment will also invest in securities tradedon the Russian “RTS Stock Exchange”.This compartment will hold a diversified portfolio,generally composed of securities issued by listedcompanies. These securities may be ordinary or preferenceshares, convertible bonds and to a lesser extentwarrants on transferable securities and options.In addition, the compartment may also invest up to10% of its net assets in UCIs.The compartment will not invest more than 10% ofits assets in bonds or any other debt security (includingconvertible bonds and preference shares), moneymarket instruments, derivatives and/or structuredproducts whose underlyers are, or offer exposure to,bonds or similar debt and interest-rate securities.By analogy, investments in undertakings for collectiveinvestment whose main objective is to invest inthe above-listed assets are also included in the 10%limit.The compartment may also invest in structured products,such as bonds or other transferable securitieswhose returns are linked to the performance of anindex, transferable securities or a basket of transferablesecurities, or an undertaking for collective investment,for example.The compartment may use derivative techniques andinstruments for efficient management, within the limitsspecified in the investment restrictions.Investors should be aware that the acquisition ofderivative instruments involves certain risks thatcould have a negative effect on the performance ofthe compartment. In addition, due to their volatility,warrants present an above-average economicrisk.Risk management method: Relative value at risk (VaR),comparing the VaR of the compartment with the VaRof the benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Europe10/40 index.Expected leverage: 0%. Depending on market conditions,the leverage may be greater.Method of calculating leverage: The sum of the notionalamounts.Risk profile:The compartment is subject to certain risks inherentin any investment, such as the following:• risks specific to a given market• variations in exchange rates• variations in interest rates.The capital invested may fluctuate up or down, andinvestors may not recover the entire value of the capitalinitially invested.Due to the composition of the portfolio or the portfoliomanagement techniques that may be used, thenet asset value of the compartment may experiencehigh volatility.Manager: PAM LtdConsolidation currency of the compartment: EURRisk factorsInvestors should be aware that, due to the politicaland economic situations in emerging countries, investmentin this compartment presents greater riskand is intended only for investors who are able tobear and assume this increased risk. This compartmentis generally only suitable for investors seeking along-term investment.Investment in this compartment is subject, amongother risks, to political risks, capital repatriation restrictions,counterparty risks, and volatility and/orilliquidity risks in the markets of the emerging countriesin question.Political and economic risksIn most of the countries in which the compartmentinvests, the governments are implementing policiesof economic and social liberalisation. Although it ispresumed that these reforms should be beneficial tothese economies in the long term, there is no assurancethat these reforms will be continued or that theywill achieve the expected results.These reforms may be challenged or slowed by politicalor social events, or by national or internationalarmed conflicts (such as the conflict in the former Yugoslavia).All these political risks may affect the capitalgains objectives set for the compartment.Volatility and illiquidity risksDue to the above-mentioned risk of instability causedby political and economic developments, the ratesfor transferable securities in which the compartmentinvests may fluctuate significantly in short-term periods.Although the compartment intends to investpredominantly in listed securities or in securitiestraded on regulated markets, some risk of illiquiditymay still exist, due to the relatively undeveloped na-The original French text is the legally binding version. 143


ture of the stock markets in the countries in questioncompared to those of the more developed countriesin Western Europe. Due to the risk of volatility, thiscompartment can only be recommended for longterminvestments. This risk is accentuated by the riskof illiquidity, which, in crisis periods, may give riseto suspension of the calculation of the net asset valueand momentarily impede the right of shareholders toredeem their shares.Currency exchange risksThe compartment’s investments will be mainly denominatedin the national currency of the issuer.Although the use of forward exchange contracts isenvisaged for hedging foreign currency exposure, investorsshould be aware that, at present, there are noestablished markets that allow hedging operations. Itmust therefore be expected that exchange risks cannotalways be hedged and the volatility of the currenciesin the countries in which the compartmentinvests may affect the net asset value of the compartment.Accounting standardsIn addition, in some emerging markets, the applicableaccounting and auditing standards are not as strict asthose applied in Western European countries. Consequently,the accounting and financial informationon the companies in which the compartment investsmay be more cursory and less reliable.Ownership of securitiesIn most of the Eastern European countries, the legalenvironment and laws governing ownership of securitiesare imprecise and do not provide the sameguarantees as the laws in Western European countries.Additionally, in the past there have been casesof fraudulent and falsified securities. There is thus agreater risk for this compartment and its shareholders.Counterparty and transaction risksThe Fund and the Custodian Bank must utilise localservice providers for the safekeeping of the compartment’sassets and for the execution of securitiestransactions.Although the Fund and the Custodian Bank intend touse only the best-qualified service providers in eachof the markets concerned, the choice of providers insome countries may be very limited and even the bestqualifiedproviders may not offer guarantees comparableto those given by financial institutions andbrokerage firms operating in developed countries.Consequently, in spite of the oversight and controlexercised by the Custodian Bank over the compartment’sassets and the service providers jointly designatedby the Fund, the quality of the services thatthe Fund and the Custodian Bank may obtain withregard to the execution of transactions on securitiesand their custody may be less reliable. Investorsshould be aware that this compartment, and thereforeits shareholders, will bear the risks related to itsinvestments.Remittance of ordersThe shares may be subscribed, converted and redeemedeach Banking Day.

Indirectinvestments are generally covered by the doubletaxation agreement (DTA) in existence between Indiaand Mauritius.To this end, the Management Company will use theportion of the compartment’s assets available for investmentin India to acquire all the PCFML shareswhich will thus be controlled entirely by the Fund.PCFML shares will be issued in registered form only.PCFML was initially incorporated on 11 October1995 as an “Offshore” limited company underThe original French text is the legally binding version. 163


the Mauritius Offshore Business Activities Act 1992in the name of <strong>Pictet</strong> Investments (Mauritius) Limited(No. 15437/2168). PCFML has been granted a tax residencecertificate from the Commissioner of IncomeTax in Mauritius. Accordingly, PCFML is consideredto be resident in Mauritius for tax purposes and maythus benefit from the DTA. However, there is no guaranteethat PCFML will be able to maintain its tax residentstatus, and the termination of this status couldresult in the loss of tax benefits, thereby affecting thecompartment’s net asset value per share.The exclusive purpose of PCFML is to perform advisoryactivities on behalf of the compartment. ThePCFML Board of Directors is composed of Eric A.Venpin, Jimmy Wong Yuen Tien, Laurent Ramsey,Pascal Chauvaux and Christoph Schweizer, of whomLaurent Ramsey, Pascal Chauvaux and ChristophSchweizer are also directors of the Fund. The PCFMLBoard of Directors will at all times include at leasttwo residents of Mauritius and a majority of directorswho are also directors of the Fund.PCFML’s advisory activities for the compartment includeproviding regular information regarding theapplicability of the treaty between India and Mauritiusas well as making investment recommendationsfor the Indian market. PCFML also advises in casesof redemptions of the compartment’s shares greaterthan 20% of the net value in order to enable the managerto divest as necessary when faced with largevolumeredemption requests.PCFML’s financial statements will be audited byDeloitte S.A. For the establishment of the compartment’sfinancial statements and semi-annual andannual reports, PCFML’s financial results will be consolidatedin the financial results of the compart ment.Similarly, these reports will contain a break down ofthe compartment’s portfolio in terms of the underlyingsecurities held by PCFML. In accordance with theinvestment restrictions contained in this prospectus,the underlying investments will be taken into considerationas if PCFML did not exist.PCFML operates as a “Collective Investment Scheme”and an “Expert Fund”, and is reserved for “Expert Investors”.According to Section 78 of the “Securities (CollectiveInvestment Schemes and Closed-end <strong>Funds</strong>) Regulations2008”, an “Expert Investor” means:(i) An investor who invests on his or her own behalfa minimum initial amount of USD100,000;or(ii) A sophisticated investor as defined in the “SecuritiesAct 2005 (with amendments 2007)”, or anyinvestor defined in a similar manner in any otherlaw.Investors in PCFML are not protected by any legalprovision of Mauritius in the event of the bankruptcyof PCFML.The Mauritian supervisory commission (“the MauritiusFinancial Services Commission”) does not answerfor the solvency of PCFML or to the accuracy ofany statement or opinion issued in its regard.Custodian Bank in IndiaThe Custodian Bank and the Manager have appointedDeutsche Bank AG, Mumbai Branch, as local custodianof the securities and other assets of the compartmentheld in India.Risk factorsProspective investors should take note of the followingrisk factors:a) Investments in the compartment will primarily bemade in securities denominated in Indian rupees(“rupees”). Any change in the value of the rupeeagainst the dollar will automatically lead to achange in the net asset value of the compartment.b) Investors should be aware of the significant volatilityof the price of warrants and the resultingvolatility of their shares.c) The regulations and controls governing the activitiesof investors, brokers and other agents onthe Indian markets are less stringent than thoseapplied in most OECD markets. In the past, Indianstock markets have been subject to closureslasting several weeks and there is no assurancethat such closures will not reoccur in the future.d) The stock markets are fragmented, smaller andmore volatile than markets in certain OECD countries.These markets have experienced significantvariations in stock prices and such variations inthe future cannot be ruled out. These phenomenamay increase the volatility of the Fund’s net assetvalue.e) The acquisition and transfer of holdings in certaininvestments may involve considerable delaysand transactions may need to be carried out atunfavourable prices as clearing, settlement andregistration systems are less well organised thanin more developed markets.f) The settlement of transactions in India is primarilyconducted through the physical delivery ofshare certificates, which requires considerablemanual labour. This procedure may cause delaysand lead to other significant difficulties in the settlementand registration of transactions.g) The SEBI has only recently been vested withpowers of enforcement to combat fraudulentpractices in stock exchange transactions, such asinsider trading, and to regulate the purchase ofcontrolling interests and the acquisition of companies.As these regulations were adopted onlyrelatively recently, their implementation may beless effective than in countries in which suchregulations have already been in force for severalyears.h) In India, requirements for publication of informationon companies are less stringent than in moredeveloped countries, and it may therefore be moredifficult to obtain information on Indian companies,and this information may be less reliable.i) The accounting principles applicable to Indiancompanies are significantly different from thoseapplicable to companies in most OECD countries.164 The original French text is the legally binding version.

Thecompartment will seek to maximize the total returnin terms of Japanese yen through capital gains frominvestment in a broadly diversified portfolio of Japaneseequities by maximising the potential for alphageneration through the use of “130/30” management,while observing the principle of risk spreading.Long positions will theoretically represent 130% andshort positions 30% of the total assets, but they mayreach 150% and 50%, respectively. Depending onmarket conditions, long positions may drop to 100%,in which case short positions would be 0.This investment strategy refers to a portfolio compositionmade up of long positions, compensated bysales of short positions via derivative instruments, asauthorised in the investment restrictions. The net exposureof the portion invested in equities – thus thenet sum of long and short positions − is generally between80% and 100% of the net assets, which is closeto the exposure in a traditional “long only” fund.The compartment will invest a minimum of twothirdsof its total assets or wealth in equities issued bycompanies that are headquartered in Japan or conductthe majority of their activity in Japan.In addition, the compartment may also invest up to10% of its net assets in UCIs and, within the limits allowedby the investment restrictions, in warrants ontransferable securities and subscription rights.The compartment may also invest in structured products,such as bonds or other transferable securitieswhose returns are linked to the performance of anindex, transferable securities or a basket of transferablesecurities, or an undertaking for collective investment,for example.The compartment may use derivative techniques andinstruments for efficient management, within the limitsspecified in the investment restrictions.Investors should be aware, however, that the acquisitionof derivative instruments involves certainrisks that could have a negative effect on theperformance of the compartment. In addition, dueto their volatility, warrants present an above-averageeconomic risk.Risk management method: Relative value at risk (VaR),comparing the VaR of the compartment with the VaRof the benchmark, TOPIX index.Expected leverage: 30%. Depending on market conditions,the leverage may be greater.Method of calculating leverage: The sum of the notionalamounts.Risk profile:The compartment is subject to certain risks inherentin any investment, such as the following:• risks specific to a given market• variations in exchange rates• variations in interest rates.The capital invested may fluctuate up or down, andinvestors may not recover the entire value of the capitalinitially invested.Managers: PAM Ltd, PAM S.A.Consolidation currency of the compartment: JPYRemittance of ordersThe shares may be subscribed, converted and redeemedeach Banking Day.

52. PICTET – RUSSIAN EQUITIESInvestor type profileThe compartment is an investment vehicle for investors:• Who wish to invest in shares issued by companieswith headquarters in Russia and/or whosemain activities are conducted in Russia;• Who are willing to bear significant variations inmarket value and thus have a low aversion to risk.Investment policy and objectivesThe compartment will invest a minimum of twothirdsof its total assets or wealth in equities or anyother kind of “equity”-type security issued by companiesthat are headquartered in Russia or that conductthe majority of their activity in Russia. These other“equity”-type securities may be American depositaryreceipts (ADRs), European depositary receipts(EDRs) and Global depositary receipts (GDRs), whoseunderlying assets are issued by companies domiciledin Russia then traded on regulated markets outsidethese countries, mainly in the US and in Europe.This compartment will hold a diversified portfolio,generally composed of securities in listed companies.These securities may be ordinary or preferred shares,convertible bonds and, to a lesser extent, warrantsand options.This compartment may also invest in securities tradedon the Russian Trading System (RTS) and the MoscowInterbank Currency Exchange (MICEX) markets,which are considered regulated markets.In addition, the compartment may also invest up to10% of its net assets in UCIs.The compartment will not invest more than 10% ofits assets in bonds or any other debt security (includingconvertible bonds and preference shares), moneymarket instruments, derivatives and/or structuredproducts whose underlyers are, or offer exposure to,bonds or similar debt and interest-rate securities.By analogy, investments in undertakings for collectiveinvestment whose main objective is to invest inthe above-listed assets are also included in the 10%limit.Investments in debt instruments as defined by the EuropeanDirective 2003/48/EC will not exceed 15%.The compartment may also invest in structured products,such as bonds or other transferable securitieswhose returns are linked to the performance of anindex, transferable securities or a basket of transferablesecurities, or an undertaking for collective investment,for example.The compartment may use derivative techniques andinstruments for the purpose of efficient managementwithin the limits defined in the investment restrictions.Investors should be aware, however, that the acquisitionof derivative instruments involves certainrisks that could have a negative effect on theperformance of the compartment. In addition, dueto their volatility, warrants present an above-averageeconomic risk.Risk management method: Relative value at risk (VaR),comparing the VaR of the compartment with the VaRof the benchmark, the MSCI Russia 10/40 index.Expected leverage: 0%. Depending on market conditions,the leverage may be greater.Method of calculating leverage: The sum of the notionalamounts.Risk profile:The compartment is subject to certain risks inherentin any investment, such as the following:• risks specific to a given market• variations in exchange rates• variations in interest rates.The capital invested may fluctuate up or down, andinvestors may not recover the entire value of the capitalinitially invested.Due to the composition of the portfolio or the portfoliomanagement techniques that may be used, thenet asset value of the compartment may experiencehigh volatility.Manager: PAM LtdConsolidation currency of the compartment: USDRisk factorsInvestors should be aware that, due to the politicaland economic situations in emerging countries, investmentin this compartment presents greater riskand is intended only for investors who are able tobear and assume this increased risk. This compartmentis generally only suitable for investors seeking along-term investment.Investment in this compartment is subject, amongother risks, to political risks, capital repatriation restrictions,counterparty risks, and volatility and/orilliquidity risks in the markets of the emerging countriesin question.Political and economic risksIn most of the countries in which the compartmentinvests, the governments are implementing policiesof economic and social liberalisation. Although it ispresumed that these reforms should be beneficial tothese economies in the long term, there is no assurancethat these reforms will be continued or that theywill achieve the expected results.These reforms may be challenged or slowed by politicalor social events, or by national or internationalarmed conflicts. All these political risks may affect thecapital gains objectives set for the compartment.Volatility and illiquidity risksDue to the above-mentioned risk of instability causedby political and economic developments, the ratesfor transferable securities in which the compartmentThe original French text is the legally binding version. 187


invests may fluctuate significantly in short-term periods.Although the compartment intends to invest predominantlyin listed securities or in securities tradedon regulated markets, some risk of illiquidity may stillexist, due to the relatively undeveloped nature of thestock markets in the countries in question comparedto those of the more developed countries in WesternEurope. Due to the risk of volatility, this compartmentcan only be recommended for long-term investments.The risk is accentuated by the risk of illiquidity, which,in crisis periods, may give rise to suspension of thecalculation of the net asset value and temporarily impedethe right of shareholders to redeem their shares.Risk linked to investments in a single countryGiven that the transferable securities belonging to agiven country tend to be affected by identical factors,this compartment risks being more volatile than afund investing in a more diversified manner. By investingprimarily in a single country, this compartment ismore exposed to market, political and economic risksin the country in which they are traded.Accounting standardsIn addition, in some emerging markets, the applicableaccounting and auditing standards are not as strict asthose applied in Western European countries. Consequently,the accounting and financial informationon the companies in which the compartment investsmay be more cursory and less reliable.Ownership of securitiesIn most Eastern European countries, the legal environmentand laws governing ownership of securitiesare imprecise and do not provide the same guaranteesas the laws in Western European countries. Additionally,in the past there have been cases of fraudulentand falsified securities. There is thus a greater risk forthis compartment and its shareholders.Counterparty and transaction risksThe Fund and the Custodian Bank are required touse local service providers for the safekeeping of thecompartment’s assets and for the execution of securitiestransactions.Although the Fund and the Custodian Bank intend touse only the best-qualified service providers in eachof the markets concerned, the choice of providers insome countries may be very limited and even the bestqualifiedproviders may not offer guarantees comparableto those given by financial institutions andbrokerage firms operating in developed countries.Consequently, in spite of the oversight and controlexercised by the Custodian Bank over the compartment’sassets and the service providers jointly designatedwith the Fund, the quality of the services thatthe Fund and the Custodian Bank may obtain withregard to the execution of transactions on securitiesand their custody may be less reliable. Investorsshould be aware that this compartment, and thereforeits shareholders will bear the associated risks.Remittance of ordersThe shares may be subscribed, converted and redeemedeach Banking Day.

Managers: PAM LtdConsolidation currency of the compartment: USDRisk factorsInvestors should be aware that, due to the politicaland economic environments in emerging countries,investment in this compartment presents greater riskand is intended only for investors who are able tobear and assume this increased risk. In principle, thiscompartment can only be offered to investors whowish to make a long-term investment.Investment in this compartment is subject, amongother risks, to political risks, capital repatriation restrictions,counterparty risks, and volatility and/orilliquidity risks in the markets of the emerging countriesin question.Political and economic risksIn most of the countries in which the compartmentinvests, the governments are implementing policiesof economic and social liberalisation. Although it ispresumed that these reforms should be beneficial tothese economies in the long term, there is no assurancethat these reforms will be continued or that theywill achieve the expected results.These reforms may be challenged or slowed by politicalor social events, or by national or internationalarmed conflicts (such as the conflict in the former Yugoslavia).All these political risks may affect the capitalgains objectives set for the compartment.Volatility and illiquidity risksDue to the above-mentioned risk of instability causedby political and economic developments, the pricesfor transferable securities in which the compartmentinvests may fluctuate significantly in short-term periods.Although the compartment intends to invest predominantlyin listed securities or in securities tradedon regulated markets, some risk of illiquidity may stillexist, due to the relatively undeveloped nature of thestock markets in the countries in question comparedto those of the more developed countries in WesternEurope. Due to the risk of volatility, this compartmentcan only be recommended for long-term investments.The risk is accentuated by the risk of illiquidity, which,in crisis periods, may give rise to suspension of thecalculation of the net asset value and temporarily impedethe right of shareholders to redeem their shares.Currency exchange risksThe compartment’s investments will be mainly denominatedin the national currency of the issuer.Although the use of forward exchange contracts isenvisaged for hedging foreign currency exposure, investorsshould be aware that, at present, there are noestablished markets that allow hedging operations. Itmust therefore be expected that exchange risks cannotalways be hedged and the volatility of the currenciesin the countries in which the compartmentinvests may affect the net asset value of the compartment.Accounting standardsIn addition, in some emerging markets, the applicableaccounting and auditing standards are not as strict asthose applied in Western European countries. Consequently,the accounting and financial informationon the companies in which the compartment investsmay be more cursory and less reliable.Ownership of securitiesIn most Eastern European countries, the legal environmentand laws governing ownership of securitiesare imprecise and do not provide the same guaranteesas the laws in Western European countries. Additionally,in the past there have been cases of fraudulentand falsified securities. There is thus a greater risk forthis compartment and its shareholders.Counterparty and transaction risksThe Board of Directors and the Custodian Bank willhave to utilise local service providers for the safekeepingof the compartment’s assets and for the executionof securities transactions.Although the Board of Directors and the CustodianBank intend to use only the best-qualified service providersin each of the markets concerned, the choiceof providers in some countries may be very limitedand even the best-qualified providers may not offerguarantees comparable to those given by financialinstitutions and brokerage firms operating in developedcountries.Consequently, in spite of the oversight and control ofthe compartment’s assets exercised by the CustodianBank and the service providers jointly designated bythe Board of Directors, the quality of the services thatthe Board of Directors and the Custodian Bank mayobtain with regard to the execution of transactions onsecurities and their custody may be less reliable. Investorsshould be aware that this compartment, andtherefore its shareholders, will bear the risks relatedto its investments.Remittance of ordersThe shares may be subscribed, converted and redeemedeach Banking Day.

A credit risk generallyincludes bankruptcy, insolvency, court-ordered reorganisation/liquidation,rescheduling of debts or nonpaymentof debts payable. The International Swapsand Derivatives Association (ISDA) has publishedstandardised documentation for these transactions,included in the ISDA Master Agreement.To hedge against certain credit risks for particularbond issuers in the portfolio, the compartment maypurchase credit default swaps.The compartment may, when it is in its sole interest,sell credit default swaps in order to acquire specificcredit risks and/or acquire protection without holdingthe underlying assets, within the limits defined inthe investment restrictions.The Fund may only conduct credit default swaptransactions with leading financial institutions thatspecialise in this type of transaction, and with strictadherence to the standardised provisions of the ISDAmaster agreement protocol.The compartment may use derivative techniques andinstruments for the purpose of efficient managementwithin the limits defined in the investment restrictions.Investors should be aware that the acquisition ofderivative instruments nonetheless involves certainrisks that could have a negative effect on theperformance of the compartment.

No performance fee is due if the NAV per share before the performancefee is lower then the high water mark for the calculation period in question.The high water mark is defined as the greater of the following two values:• The last recorded historical net asset value per share for which a performance fee was paid; and• The NAV of 30 March 2012.The dividends paid to shareholders will be deducted from the high water mark.A provision will be created for the performance fee on each calculation day. If the NAV per share decreases duringthe calculation period, the provisions created for the performance fee will be reduced accordingly. If theseprovisions drop to zero, no performance fee is payable.If shares are redeemed at a date other than that on which a performance fee is paid and a provision has beencreated for performance fees, the performance fees for which a provision has been created that are assigned tothe shares redeemed will be paid at the end of the period, even if the performance fee provision no longer existsat that date. Capital gains that have not been realised can be taken into account in the calculation and paymentof performance fees.When subscriptions are made, the calculation of the performance fee is adjusted to prevent the subscriptionfrom having an impact on the amount of provisions for performance fees. For the purposes of this adjustment,the outperformance of the net asset value per share compared to the minimum rate of return up to the subscriptiondate is not taken into consideration in the calculation of the performance fee. The amount of this adjustmentis based on the product of the number of shares subscribed times the positive difference between the subscriptionprice and the high water mark adjusted by the minimum rate of return on the date of the subscription.

Thus, for these shares, no performance fee will be provisioned for performanceprior to the subscription date.The performance fee is calculated for each NAV calculation day at a rate of 20% applied to the difference betweenthe NAV per share on that valuation day and the reference NAV multiplied by the number of shares incirculation.On each calculation day, a provision representing the performance fee calculated on the basis of the differencebetween the NAV per share and the reference NAV is deducted from the net assets of the compartment and theprovision made on the previous valuation day reversed. When the NAV per share is less than the reference NAV,the provision is zero; it can never be negative.The original French text is the legally binding version. 233


In application of the High Water Mark principle, the reference NAV is the last NAV per share that generatedpayment of a performance fee. The first reference NAV will be the initial subscription price. The reference NAVwill be accounted for after deduction of the performance fee.When there is a possible dividend distribution during the period, the reference NAV will be reduced by theamount distributed per share.The performance fee (F) is calculated as follows:If B ≤ E, F = 0If B > E, F = A * T * (B- E)The reference NAV per share of the following period =E if at the end of the period F = 0G if at the end of the period F > 0Based on:A = Number of outstanding sharesB = NAV/share before the performance feeE = Reference NAV/share for the periodF = Daily performance feeG = NAV/share after performance fee at the end of the periodT = Performance fee rateAn adjustment to account for subscriptions and redemptions is made but not indicated in the above formula.234 The original French text is the legally binding version.

Performance fee:The manager will receive a performance fee, provisioned every valuation day and paid annually, based on thenet asset value (NAV), equivalent to 10% of the performance of the NAV per share (measured against the “highwater mark”) versus the index shown in the table below for each class of shares since the last payment of theperformance fee.Type of shareShare classes denominated in EURHedged share classes denominated in CHFHedged share classes denominated in GBPHedged share classes denominated in USDIndexCitigroup EUR 3 monthsCitigroup CHF 3 monthsCitigroup GBP 3 monthsCitigroup USD 3 monthsThe performance fee is calculated on the basis of the NAV after deducting all fees, liabilities and managementfees (but not the performance fee), and then adjusted to take account of all subscriptions and redemptions.The performance fee is based on the outperformance of the NAV per share, multiplied by the number of sharesin circulation during the calculation period. No performance fee is due if the NAV per share before the performancefee is lower then the high water mark for the calculation period in question.The high water mark is defined as the greater of the following two values:• The last recorded historical net asset value per share for which a performance fee was paid; and• The initial NAV per share.The dividends paid to shareholders will be deducted from the high water mark.A provision will be created for the performance fee on each calculation day. If the NAV per share decreases duringthe calculation period, the provisions created for the performance fee will be reduced accordingly. If theseprovisions drop to zero, no performance fee is payable.If shares are redeemed at a date other than that on which a performance fee is paid and a provision has beencreated for performance fees, the performance fees for which the provision has been created that are assigned tothe shares redeemed will be paid at the end of the period, even if the performance fee provision no longer existsat that date. Capital gains that have not been realised can be taken into account in the calculation and paymentof performance fees.When subscriptions are made, the calculation of the performance fee is adjusted to prevent the subscriptionfrom having an impact on the amount of provisions for performance fees. For the purposes of this adjustment,the outperformance of the net asset value per share compared to the minimum rate of return up to the subscriptiondate is not taken into consideration in the calculation of the performance fee. The amount of this adjustmentis based on the product of the number of shares subscribed times the positive difference between the subscriptionprice and the high water mark adjusted by the minimum rate of return on the date of the subscription. Theamount of this accumulated adjustment is used to calculate performance fees up to the end of the period concernedand is adjusted to account for subsequent redemptions in the period.The reference period corresponds to the Fund’s financial year.The performance fee (F) is calculated as follows:F = 0If [(B / E – 1) – X] 0The new high water mark = If F>0; DIf F=0; EBased on:A = Number of outstanding sharesB = NAV/share before the performance feeC = Rate of the performance fee (10%)D = NAV/share after the performance feeE = High Water MarkF = Performance feeX = Minimum return based on the index shown in the table above for each class of shares accumulated ateach valuation date since the last payment of a performance feeThe original French text is the legally binding version. 237

Performance fee:The manager will receive a performance fee, provisioned every valuation day and paid annually, based on thenet asset value (NAV), equivalent to 10% of the performance of the NAV per share (measured with respect tothe “high water mark”) versus the EONIA (Euro Over Night Index Average) index, which reflects the weightedaverage rate of interbank investments from one day to the next in the eurozone) since the last payment of theperformance fee.The performance fee is calculated on the basis of the NAV after deducting all fees, liabilities and managementfees (but not the performance fee), and then adjusted to take account of all subscriptions and redemptions.The performance fee is based on the outperformance of the NAV per share, multiplied by the number of sharesin circulation during the calculation period. No performance fee is due if the NAV per share before the performancefee is lower then the high water mark for the calculation period in question.The high water mark is defined as the greater of the following two values:• The last recorded historical net asset value per share for which a performance fee was paid; and• The initial NAV per share.The dividends paid to shareholders will be deducted from the high water mark.A provision will be created for the performance fee on each calculation day. If the NAV per share decreases duringthe calculation period, the provisions created for the performance fee will be reduced accordingly. If theseprovisions drop to zero, no performance fee is payable.If shares are redeemed at a date other than that on which a performance fee is paid and a provision has beencreated for performance fees, the performance fees for which the provision has been created that are assigned tothe shares redeemed will be paid at the end of the period, even if the performance fee provision no longer existsat that date. Capital gains that have not been realised can be taken into account in the calculation and paymentof performance fees.When subscriptions are made, the calculation of the performance fee is adjusted to prevent the subscriptionfrom having an impact on the amount of provisions for performance fees. For the purposes of this adjustment,the outperformance of the net asset value per share compared to the minimum rate of return up to the subscriptiondate is not taken into consideration in the calculation of the performance fee. The amount of this adjustmentis based on the product of the number of shares subscribed times the positive difference between the subscriptionprice and the high water mark adjusted by the minimum rate of return on the date of the subscription. Theamount of this accumulated adjustment is used to calculate performance fees up to the end of the period concernedand is adjusted to account for subsequent redemptions in the period.The reference period corresponds to the Fund’s financial year.The performance fee (F) is calculated as follows:F = 0If [(B / E – 1) – X] 0The new high water mark = If F>0; DIf F=0; EBased on:A = Number of outstanding sharesB = NAV/share before the performance feeC = Rate of the performance fee (10%)D = NAV/share after the performance feeE = High Water MarkF = Performance feeX = Minimum return based on the EONIA accumulated at each valuation date since the last payment of aperformance fee240 The original French text is the legally binding version.
