VIG MoneyMaxx Emerging Market Absolute Return Investment Fund

In order to realise the investment objectives, the asset groups in the Fund's portfolio may be varied freely, without having to adhere to a predetermined risk profile. The Fund is a "total return" fund, which can invest in several asset classes, i.e. instead of focusing on just one sub-sector of the money or capital market, it concentrates its investments within a combination of assets that promises the highest possible return at any given time. The Fund does not aim to track a fixed index, nor does it adhere to a fixed equity-to-bond portfolio ratio, but seeks to vary this ratio within broad boundaries, with the composition of the portfolio changing dynamically in order to achieve the Fund's return target. The Fund's investments focus on emerging markets. The Fund primarily allocates its assets between emerging-market local currency government securities, hard currency government and corporate bonds, and equity markets, in accordance with the latest market expectations. The Fund may thus assume interest rate risk, currency risk, credit risk, as well as equity market risk. The Fund may take positions in other regions and markets (e.g. commodity markets) besides the emerging markets. The Fund hedges most of its currency positions, but it may also take open currency positions. In the interest of efficient portfolio design, the Fund may also assume forward and futures positions. The Fund Manager minimises the currency risk of the Fund's currency series against the base currency by means of foreign exchange futures allocated only to this series. In the interest of an efficient portfolio design, the Fund may also assume futures positions as well as OTC foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives. No individual investor's decisions can be made in the Fund. The Fund Manager minimizes the currency risk of the current series of the Fund against the Fund's base currency using currency forward contracts allocated exclusively to this series. The Fund Manager commits to maintaining the coverage level between 90% and 110% of the asset value of the respective series, which qualifies as effective hedging
