Investment strategy:

The focus of the investment policy is to invest the mutual fund’s assets mainly in government bonds, municipal and corporate bonds and mortgage bonds without regional restrictions, in unit certificates of other standard mutual funds, units of open special mutual funds or securities of other foreign collective investment undertakings (Exchange Traded Funds). The aim of the investment policy is to actively participate in the growth of the stock and bond markets through the active management of the mutual fund over a period of 2 years and at the same time to ensure that the value of the unit is equal to or higher than at the beginning of the investment period.

The specified periods will always be two years. The current period began to run on April 1, 2020 and each subsequent specified period begins on the first calendar day following the end of the previous specified period (the next specified investment period begins to run on April 1, 2022). The Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) hedging method is used to ensure the return on the mutual fund’s investment, which helps to optimize the appropriate ratio between individual asset classes.

Investments in financial derivatives are used for the purpose of achieving returns as well as for the purpose of hedging against mutual fund risk.
