Summary

3

Investment opportunities

Luxury goods stand out on account of their exclusive design, particular quality and higher price. This means that many luxury goods manufacturers benefit from high profit margins.

The luxury goods segment benefits from high market access barriers (e.g. brand, quality and distribution), which provides manufacturers with the possibility of securing their pricing power.

Luxury goods are often used as status symbols. This explains why those luxury goods manufacturers with strong, desirable brands are successful.

Increasing prosperity in many regions of the world, particularly in China, is fueling a steady increase in demand for luxury goods.

The fund’s strengths

The fund allows the investor to invest in a segment that is benefiting from an impressive growth trend.

The fund offers “pure” exposure to the luxury goods megatrend. Its investment universe is highly diversified, with several complementary subsectors such as fashion, leather goods, jewelry, cosmetics, cars and hotels.

The management team invests in global and established luxury goods firms, such as Richemont, Hermès, LVMH and Christian Dior.

The fund has performed well since its inception. It has repeatedly won prestigious awards, such as the coveted Lipper Fund Award Switzerland 2013 and, prior to that, the Grand Prix de la Gestion d’Actifs 2012 from L’Agefi.

It is managed by an experienced and stable team with a track record of more than eight years in the industry.

Most Important Reasons to Invest

Investment possibilities: The fund’s primary goal is to deliver the highest possible capital growth. To this end, it invests worldwide in leading luxury goods firms with high pricing power that are active in product categories such as luxury handbags, leather goods, fashion, jewelry, hotels, cars, spirits, watches and cosmetics.

Strong growth trend: The fund provides access to the ongoing high growth potential of the luxury goods sector. This strong growth is driven mainly by rapidly increasing purchasing power in Asia – China and Southeast Asia. Experts estimate that in ten years’ time, the Asian luxury goods market will reach the current size of the global market.

5

Strong margins in the luxury goods sector: Luxury goods manufacturers are normally active in high-margin product categories and have a high level of pricing power. For example, the operating profit margin in the women’s luxury handbags subsector varies between 25% and 60%. High margins allow luxury goods manufacturers to secure positive results.

Focused portfolio: The fund invests in 25 to 50 leading luxury goods companies with a high level of pricing power. Stock selection is based on fundamental research. Active fund management can generate added value here.

Benefits

One of the few thematic equity funds in the world investing in the luxury goods sector.

The fund invests in a growth portfolio of blue-chip companies with strong fundamentals (high returns on equity, high margins, high earnings per share).

Launched in 2000, the fund has the longest track record in this sector.

The fund won several Lipper Fund Awards in the category of consumer discretionary in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Risks

A long and deep recession may have an adverse impact on the fund΄s performance.

Restricting investments to luxury goods companies may result in significant concentration in an individual subsector/region.

No capital protection.
