Risk Disclosure Risk Management The Management Company uses a risk management process that allows monitoring the risks of the portfolio positions and their share of the overall risk profile of the portfolios on the managed funds at any time. In accordance with the Law of 17 December 2010 and the applicable regulatory requirements of the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (“CSSF”) the Management Company reports to the CSSF on a regular basis on the risk management process. The Management Company assures, at the basis of appropriate and reasonable methods, that overall risk, associated with derivatives, does not exceed the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund. In accordance with the requirements of the Regulatory Authority, this risk management process measures the global exposure of each Sub-Fund with the Value at Risk (“VaR”) approach. Value-at-Risk In financial mathematics and risk management, the VaR approach is a widely used risk measurement of the maximum potential loss for a specific portfolio of assets, due to market risk. More specifically, the VaR approach measures the maximum potential loss of such a portfolio at a given confidence level (or probability) over a specific time period (so called holding period) under normal market conditions. Absolute VaR or relative VaR are applied as disclosed in the table below. Relative VaR approach: Relative VaR links the VaR of the portfolio of a Sub-Fund with the VaR of a reference portfolio. The reference portfolio is a matching portfolio in comparison to the Fund's investment policy. The relative VaR of the Sub-Fund shall not exceed twice the VaR of its reference portfolio. The reference portfolio used by each Sub-Fund is set out in the table below. The lowest, the highest and the average utilisation of the VaR limit calculated during the period from 01 January 2012 to 31 December 2012 are set out in the table below. Absolute VaR approach: Absolute VaR links the VaR of the portfolio of a Sub-Fund with its Net Asset Value. The absolute VaR of any Sub-Fund shall not exceed 20% of the Sub-Fund’s Net Asset Value (determined on the basis of 99% confidence interval and a holding period of 20 business days).This is equivalent to 14.14% for a 10-day holding period applied by the Management Company. The lowest, the highest and the average utilisation of the VaR limit calculated during the period from 01 January 2012 to 31 December 2012 are set out in the table below. The VaR has been calculated using the historical simulation with a confidence interval of 99%, a holding period of 10 days, an observation period of 252 days (equally weighted).
