Performance

Performance of Sauren Global Hedgefonds A as at 16.07.2024

The unit price of Sauren Global Hedgefonds, calculated as at the twelfth bank working day of the month in Luxembourg (as at the tenth bank working day in Luxembourg until December 2009), is based on the most recently available unit prices of the target funds, which are usually established on the last day of the month. The unit price calculated for Sauren Global Hedgefonds therefore essentially reflects market performance in the previous month.

The Investor would like to buy shares for 1,000.-- € and due to a 5.00% front-end load the total payable amount rises to 1,050.-- €. The gross performance (BVI method) is based on the published redemption prices of the Fund of Funds, which includes all costs incurred at the fund level (e.g. management fee), the net performance also includes the front-end load. The front-end load is only payable at the day of investment and therefore reduces the performance in the first year. In the following years no front-end load is considered, as such the net performance is not displayed in the bar chart as it is equal to the gross performance. Additional costs may be incurred at the investor level (e.g. custody costs). If the front-end load were taken into account in the line chart the performance in the chart would be lower.

TDue to its composition / the techniques used for its management, the fund is exposed to increased volatility; this means that unit prices may be subject to considerable upward and downward fluctuations, even within short periods of time.

* The share class was launched in 2004.

Explanations of Sauren ESG-Scoring

The proprietary Sauren ESG scoring process is applied to all target funds. The process seeks to determine the extent to which the manager of a target fund includes environmental aspects, social aspects and principles of sustainable corporate governance (ESG) in their investment decisions, without the result having a direct impact on investment decisions at the fund of funds level. The ESG scoring process is not designed to serve as a seal of quality. Rather, it is aimed at raising awareness of ESG criteria and their inclusion amongst target fund managers.
