Performance

Past performance is no indication or guarantee of future performance of the invested capital. The value of investments fluctuates and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Exchange rate fluctuations can also increase or reduce the value of an investment.

The performance data does not take account of the commissions and costs incurred on the issue or redemption of units.

Risks of investment

Investors must be aware that financial products carry investment risks, including the potential loss of the invested capital. Past performance or earnings are no guarantee or indication of future performance or earnings. The price and return of financial products fluctuates. As a result, the price of units upon sale or redemption may be higher or lower than the original purchase price. A large volume of redemption requests carries the risk that the redemption will not be settled until the corresponding fund assets have been sold (liquidity risk). The performance of the financial products may undergo sudden dramatic changes due to fluctuations in the market. In addition, financial products investing primarily in emerging markets and/or in high yield bonds carry higher risks in general. The investment funds may invest in complex financial instruments, e.g. convertible bonds, subordinated bonds, perpetual bonds and floating rate bonds. Please read the investment policy in the prospectus and/or in the management regulations in conjunction with the key investor information document (“KIID”) to find out about the specific risks associated with a certain investment fund. The financial products may also invest in other currencies (as opposed to a financial product’s reference currency). This carries the additional risk of exchange rate fluctuations. In contrast to investment funds, certificates carry the additional risk of the issuer becoming insolvent.

Fisch Trend Navigator Fund invests in futures. The value of futures fluctuates. The commodities markets are also very volatile and are subject to, among other factors, fluctuation on both the demand and supply side, weather risks, political, fiscal, macro-economical and trading risks. Futures are traded on the basis of margins which reflect only about 5% to 15% of the exposure. Thus leverage exists, which can lead to a significant loss for the fund.

Fund documentation

You should only invest once you have carefully read and understood the key investor information document (“KIID”), the latest prospectus and/or management regulations, the most recent annual and semi-annual reports as well as all other materials required by local legislation and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the relevant investment fund and/or sub-fund and/or specific unit classes are authorized and/or permitted for public distribution, offer or sale.

Investment Success through Convertible Bonds

Beat Thoma, 31.10.2018

Convertibles are bonds which in addition to providing interest payments (and capital repayment) also include a conversion privilege. This privilege entitles the owner of the convertible to exchange (convert) the bond into a specified number of common shares of the issuer and can therefore be viewed as a call option. Convertible bonds are a relatively complex instrument, but they offer diverse risk profiles and can be employed very flexibly.
