Comments

Before deciding to invest in the sub-fund, one should read the prospectus and the key information document (PRIIPS KID). The documents are available in Dutch. You will find these documents further on this page. This is a publicity announcement.

Target

The objective of the sub-fund is to seek the highest possible return in absolute terms, rather than outperforming stock market indices, while limiting risk. The assets are invested primarily in listed shares of holding companies (holding companies) located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and in countries that are members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). To a more limited extent, investments may also be made in listed holding companies in other countries.

At least 90% of the income received after deduction of expenses, fees and commissions shall be distributed annually to the holders of distribution units of the sub-fund so that they may benefit from the Definitively Taxed Income system in accordance with Art. 202 and Art. 203 of the Income Tax Code (ITC). In any case, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, when deciding on the dividend attributable to distribution share certificate holders, must always adhere to the required minimum distribution percentage as stipulated in Article 203 §2 of the Income Tax Code (ITC).

Strategy

The objective of the sub-fund is to seek the highest possible return in absolute terms, rather than outperforming stock market indices, while limiting risk. The assets are invested primarily in listed shares of holding companies (holding companies) located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and in countries that are members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). To a more limited extent, investments may also be made in listed holding companies in other countries. Risk diversification is obtained by investing in at least 16 different holding companies, which in turn tend to hold diversified assets. The Net Asset Value (NAV) can fluctuate widely due to the composition of the portfolio.

Stock selection is based on fundamental analysis and bottom-up approach emphasizing the principle of Value investing.

In circumstances where the manager assesses downside risks to exceed potential returns, the portion invested in equities may be reduced in favor of investments in cash and money market instruments.

When the manager assesses market risk on average, the sub-fund may have up to 25% invested in cash and/or money market instruments.

When the manager assesses market risk as high, the sub-fund may be invested up to 50% in cash and/or money market instruments. The sub-fund will always be at least 50% invested in equities.

Active portfolio management

The sub-fund's portfolio is actively managed by the portfolio manager, meaning that he makes discretionary investment choices at the portfolio level within the limits of the investment objective and policy.

Neither the method of management nor the calculation of the performance fee are aligned with an index.

Risks

Description of risks deemed significant and relevant, as estimated by the compartment:

  • Market risk: the sub-fund invests primarily in listed equities whose prices may (significantly) decline, due to deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, specific business conditions, or due to general market psychology.
  • Liquidity risk: it cannot be ruled out that a large part of the portfolio will consist of small caps. Small caps tend to have lower liquidity than blue chips.
  • Return risk: the sub-fund follows its own investment strategy and is therefore not linked to an index. As a result, the sub-fund's return may differ significantly from the overall market return.
  • Exchange rate or currency risk: the sub-fund invests globally, making a fair portion of the portfolio sensitive to exchange rate fluctuations.
  • Risk dependent on external factors: the benefit to holders of distribution units of this sub-fund is highly dependent on the maintenance of the current tax system of Definitively Taxed Income and may diminish or even disappear altogether in the event of changes in tax legislation
