Appendix 46: AXA WORLD FUNDS – UNIVERSAL INFLATION BONDS Name of the Sub-Fund AXA WORLD FUNDS – UNIVERSAL INFLATION BONDS Management Company AXA Funds Management S.A. (Luxembourg) Investment Manager AXA Investment Managers Paris Sub-delegation None Promoted by AXA Investment Managers Objectives and Investment Policy Investment objective: The objective of the Sub-Fund is to seek performance through dynamic exposure mainly to inflationlinked bonds issued in the OECD and emerging markets. Investment policy: The Investment Manager will seek to achieve the objectives of the Sub-Fund by investing mainly in inflation-linked bonds and any other related debt securities issued by governments, corporations or public institutions worldwide seeking to benefit from the rising wealth of emerging economies through a diversified approach. The Investment Manager may invest in other debt securities which are not inflation-linked. Furthermore, the Sub-Fund may invest in Money Market Instruments. The Sub-Fund will invest not more than 10% of its net assets in units of UCITS and/or other UCIs. For efficient portfolio management purposes, this Sub-Fund may also expose itself to such assets through the use of derivative instruments within the limits set forth in the section “Investment Restrictions”. The Reference Currency of the Sub-Fund is USD. Use of Derivatives: In order to achieve its management objectives, the Sub-Fund may in particular engage in the credit derivatives market by entering, i.a., into credit default swaps in order to sell or buy protection. A credit default swap “CDS” is a bilateral financial contract in which one counterparty (the protection buyer) pays a periodic fee in return for a contingent payment by the protection seller following a credit event of a reference issuer. The protection buyer acquires the right to sell a particular bond or other designated reference obligations issued by the reference issuer for its par value or the right to receive the difference between par value and market price of the said bond or other designated reference obligations (or some other designated reference or strike price) when a credit event occurs. A credit event is commonly defined as bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, material adverse restructuring of debt, or failure to meet payment obligations when due. The International Swap and Derivatives Association (ISDA) has produced standardised documentation for these derivatives transactions under the umbrella of its ISDA Master Agreement. The Sub-Fund may use credit derivatives in order to hedge the specific credit risk of some of the issuers in its portfolio by buying protection. In addition, the Sub-Fund may, provided it is in its exclusive interest, buy protection under credit derivatives without holding the underlying assets. Provided it is in its exclusive interest, the Sub-Fund may also sell protection under credit derivatives in order to acquire a specific credit exposure. The Sub-Fund will only enter into OTC credit derivatives transactions with highly rated financial institutions specialised in this type of transaction and only in accordance with the standard terms laid down by the ISDA Master Agreement. The maximum exposure of the Sub-Fund may not exceed 100% of its net assets. Risk Profile This Sub-Fund is mainly invested in fixed income related assets for which there is risk of invested capital loss. 266
Special Risk Consideration Derivatives Risk and Leverage: The Sub-Fund may use both listed and OTC derivatives for investment or hedging purposes, but also repurchase or securities lending agreement. These instruments are volatile and may be subject to various types of risks, including but not limited to market risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, legal risk and operations risks. In addition, the use of derivatives can involve significant economic leverage and may, in some cases, involve significant risks of loss. Furthermore, Investments in OTC derivatives may have limited secondary markets liquidity and it may be difficult to assess the value of such a position and its exposure to risk. For these reasons, there can be no guarantee that strategies using derivatives instruments will meet their expected target. Risks of Global Investments: Investments in securities issued or listed in different countries may imply the application of different standards and regulations (accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, clearance and settlement procedures, taxes on dividends…). Investments may be affected by movements of foreign exchange rates, changes in laws or restrictions applicable to such investments, changes in exchange control regulations or price volatility. Risk linked to investments in emerging markets: Legal infrastructure, in certain countries in which investments may be made, may not provide with the same degree of investors' protection or information to investors, as would generally apply to major securities markets (governments’ influence, social, political and economic instability, different accounting, auditing and financial report practises). Emerging markets securities may also be less liquid and more volatile than similar securities available in major markets, and there are higher risks associated to transactions settlement, involving timing and pricing issues. Investment Horizon This Sub-Fund is appropriate for investors who do not withdraw their money for three years. For more details about risks, please refer to general part of the Prospectus, sections entitled “General Risk Considerations” and “Special Risk Considerations”. 267
