Factsheet (institutional share class) Multi-Asset Global 5 Last Update: 07/31/2017 AT A GLANCE Stocks or bonds? This multi-asset-investment strategy is a globally, diversified concept which offers an active management approach to the allocation of stocks, bonds and cash in global capital markets. The aim is an absolute return in Euros. The specific asset classes and their individual markets are usually allocated via exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) for cost efficiency and diversification reasons. The expected return of this fund over an investment cycle is approximately 3-5% p.a. INVESTMENT STRATEGY The fund combines fundamental and rule-based quantitative elements in accordance with the investment philosophy of alpha beta asset management. The first step of the investment process is a mainly fundamentally driven analysis. On that basis, a rule-based system allocates the asset classes stocks, government bonds and spreads/inflation as well as their respective individual markets on the basis of relative attractiveness. Generally, the strategy is executed via ETFs; for efficiency reasons, investments via listed futures are also permitted. Generally, currency risk stemming from the asset allocation will be hedged back to Euros. PERFORMANCE SINCE FUND LUNCH AT JULY 15, 2013 Performance (BVI method) since fund lunch (07/15/2013): 9.51% Performance (BVI method) since fund lunch (p.a.): 2.27% Performance (BVI method) in 2016: 2.02% Performance (BVI method) in 2017: 0.35% Legal Disclaimer: Performance as per the BVI method; i.e. without including the issue surcharge. Costs incurred by the fund (e.g. management fees) have been taken into account. The individual costs incurred by the client (e.g. custody account fees, commission and other charges) have not been included in the illustration and would have had a negative impact on performance if they had been taken into account. Any issue surcharge incurred reduces the invested capital and the performance shown here. Model calculation: on an investment of EUR 500,000, the investment result for the investor would be reduced as follows: a maximum of EUR 15,000 (3% according to the sales prospectus) on the first day of the investment because of the issue surcharge and annually due to the individually incurred custody account costs. Custody account costs can be obtained from the price and service schedule of your bank. Currently the issue surcharge is set at 0%. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

AT A GLANCE Stocks or bonds? This multi-asset-investment strategy is a globally, diversified concept which offers an active management approach to the allocation of stocks, bonds and cash in global capital markets.

MARKET COMMENT OF FUND MANAGEMENT In July, the continuation of the Euro strength was a dominant topic in our markets and slowed down the positive run of many European stock indices. The European Monetary Union’s currency rose to approximately 1.18 US-Dollar at the end of the month and now is about 12.3% above its value at the end of 2016. Therefore, it is barely surprising that European stock indices tended to perform worse than their global counterparts in July. Chinese and Russian stocks were among the better performers and gained approximately 5% measured by their respective indices, in addition to strong raw material markets such as oil or copper. Among the monthly winners was also the S&P 500 and – as the only European representative – the Italian FTSE MIB index. These markets ended the month with a plus of 2.1% and 4.6%. Burdened by press releases on a potential cartel among German automobile manufacturers and also the strong Euro, the German DAX index lost 1.7%; additionally, the broader market index STOXX 600 Europe fell by 0.3%. For the upcoming weeks, the further development of the external value of the Euro will play a key role, as a further significant increase in value of the Euro will have an inevitably negative impact on the European export industry and the entire economy. In July, the European Central Bank was still little concerned and did not comment – as expected - on the Euro’s appreciation. For the bond markets, currency movements were less influential over last month. 10-year German Bund yields rose slightly from 0.47% to 0.54% while yields of 10-year Italian government bonds fell by 6 bps to 1.80%. The performance of the European investment grade credit markets was once again more positive. These markets managed to compensate for their June losses and increased by 0.8% on a broad market basis. European and US high yield markets, which have been part of our portfolio since the end of last year, gained 0.8% and 1.1% on average. Overall, the result was a monthly performance of +0.13% for our Multi-Asset Global 5. Due to the holiday season, we expect only little relevant new information for our markets in the upcoming weeks. Trump’s policy and its (negative) impact on the greenback still remain a risk factor. Our rule-based, systematic investment process also points to a weakening of the global momentum in capital markets. On a positive note, we see promising developments in some Southern European and Asian countries. Those markets are supposed to help with positive performance contributions and also add to the diversification of the portfolio.

PORTFOLIO STRUCTURE

STRATEGIC COMMENT OF FUND MANAGEMENT § In July, the equity ratio of the fund was increased to 21% via purchases of the

German DAX index at the end of the month. Investments in emerging market equities stand at approximately 7%.

§ We continue to see a short-term risk of rising yields in government bonds. Our duration of 3.1 years is still relatively low, but could be reduced even further in case of higher yield movements in Europe via our rule-based allocation mechanism.

§ In July, high yield renewed its positive trend from spring and remained unchanged in terms of portfolio weight.

§ Money market instruments, short-term government bonds and cash remain stable at around 17%. They continue to function as an essential part of the portfolio’s risk management in an environment of political uncertainty.

OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS The fund is suited for such investors who intend to capture the growth and return opportunities of international stock, bond and currency markets. Stocks and equities-based ETFs offer above-average return potential over a long-term horizon, but can experience significant volatilities and fluctuations. Bonds and bond-based ETFs offer a coupon or dividend and experience usually lower volatilities. Rising interest rates can cause bond price decreases before bond maturity. ETFs in foreign currency or ETFs based on stocks and/or bonds from outside the Euro area experience currency risk as well. The fund is suited for at least medium-term-oriented, risk-aware and experienced investors.

Opportunities: + Attractive risk-reward ratio through active allocation policy (asset allocation) + Stability via broad diversification of global investments + General price appreciation opportunities + Strategy incorporates implicit risk management; additional ex-post risk controlling + Innovative portfolio management concept based on two pillars of analysis
