Investment policy

The fund seeks exposure to volatility risk premia embedded in equities, fixed income, credit, currencies and money market instruments from anywhere in the world with a focus on developed markets. The volatility-based strategies are implemented using derivatives such as options, futures and swaps. The fund may also, for a short period of time, invest directly, or via UCITS or UCIs, into such underlying securities. The fund will invest its remaining assets in UCITS (including UCITS ETFs), UCIs, high credit quality debt instruments, such as bonds issued by governments and credit institutions, money market instruments and/or short-term deposits.

The fund may use derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management, as well as for investment purposes. As a result of the use of derivatives, the fund can be leveraged. Usually the expected level of leverage is 800% to 1,000% with a maximum leverage of 4,000%. The maximum leverage can be exceeded for short periods of time in order to hedge positions.
