Appendix 52: AXA WORLD FUNDS – FORCE 3 Name of the Sub-Fund AXA WORLD FUNDS – FORCE 3 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 achieve medium term capital and income growth by investing in a diversified portfolio of equities, bonds, Money Market Instruments and ancillary cash, directly or through the investment in other UCITS and/or UCI. The investment policy of the Sub-Fund is structured so as to offer investors a clear choice of risk/reward profile. Typical investors would seek medium term capital and income growth measured in Euro. Investment policy: The Investment Manager will seek to achieve the objectives of the Sub-Fund while containing volatility of returns by investing in a broad set of world market bonds, Money Market Instruments and equities issued in the OECD or non-OECD countries. The emphasis is put on bonds issued principally within the Euro zone. There is no formal restriction on the proportion of the Sub-Fund’s assets that can be invested in and/or exposed to any one particular market. At least 10% of the net assets of the Sub-Fund will be invested in units or shares of UCITS and/or other UCIs which comply with the provisions set forth in article A (5) of the section "Investment Restrictions" of the Prospectus. In any case, the investments by the Sub-Fund in other UCIs may not exceed the limits set forth in article C(12) of the above mentioned section. In accordance with article A (5) of the section "Investment Restrictions" of the Prospectus, the Sub-Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in units or shares of regulated open-ended hedge funds which are submitted to an equivalent supervision. For efficient portfolio management purposes or investment 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 EUR. Use of Derivatives: In order to achieve its management objectives, the Sub-Fund may 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. 303
