51 Blz. 51 IMPORTANT NOTICES An investment in investment funds, as with all securities and comparable financial assets, carries the risk of capital or currency losses. Consequently, the unit price and the yield are variable and cannot be guaranteed. The costs of a fund investment have an effect on the actual profit. No guarantee can be given that the investment objectives will be achieved. The statutory sales documents (Key Investor Information Documents, sales prospectuses and reports) provide detailed information on potential risks and form the sole legal basis for a purchase of units. These documents can be obtained in English free of charge from the investment company, ETHENEA Independent Investors S.A., the custodian bank, as well as the relevant national paying and information agents. These are: Germany: DZ BANK AG, Deutsche Zentral- Genossenschaftsbank, Platz der Republik, D Frankfurt am Main; Austria: Erste Bank der oesterreichischen Sparkassen AG, Graben 21, A-1010 Vienna; Switzerland: IPConcept (Switzerland) AG, In Gassen 6, Postfach 2918, CH-8022 Zurich; Belgium: CACEIS Belgium SA/NV, Avenue du Port / Havenlaan 86C b 320, B Brussels; DEUTSCHE BANK AG, Brussels branch, Marnixlaan 17, B-1000 Brussels; Luxembourg: DZ PRIVATBANK S.A., 4, rue Thomas Edison, L-1445 Luxembourg-Strassen; Liechtenstein: Volksbank AG, Feldkircher Strasse 2, FL-9494 Schaan; France: CACEIS Bank, 1-3 place Valhubert, F Paris; Italy: State Street Bank S.p.A., Via Ferrante Aporti, 10, IT Milan; Portugal: Deutsche Bank AG Sucursal em Portugal, Rua Castilho, 20, Lisbon; Spain: Capital Strategies Partners, A.V., S.A., Paseo de La Castellana, 178, 3 izda., ES Madrid; RBC Investors Services Espana, C/ Fernando el Santo, 20, ES Madrid. The sales documents are also available at Key Investor Information Documents are available in the official language of the country of distribution. If you have any questions concerning the function and risks of this capital investment, please contact the distributing bank. This fund description is advertising material and no mandatory document according to investment legislation. It is intended for information purposes only. All information published here constitutes a product description only. It does not constitute investment advice, an offer to enter into an agreement for the provision of advice or information or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell securities. Contents have been carefully researched, compiled and checked. No guarantee can be given for correctness, completeness or accuracy. Information includes past data which are no indicator of future performance. Management fee, custodian bank fee and all other additional costs are taken into account in the calculation of the unit price as stated in the provisions of the contract. Performance is calculated using the BVI method (German federal association for investment and asset management), which means that the calculations do not include an issuing charge, transaction costs (such as order fees and brokerage fees), custodian bank fees, or other management fees. Including the issuing surcharge would reduce performance. If you have any questions concerning the function and risks of this capital investment, please contact your financial advisor.
