MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE The management objective is to enable the investor to benefit from the specific risk/return ratio of convertible bonds from the Eurozone meeting environmental or socially responsible criteria. The convertible bonds have an asymmetric risk/return profile: all things being equal, for a given change in the underlying shares, upside participation is greater than downside participation. A convertible bond usually has a lower yield than a normal bond issued by the same issuer. However, a decline in the price of the underlying share will result in the value of the convertible bond decreasing to a lesser extent. The Fund will therefore benefit more from increases in European equity markets than it will suffer from declines, all things being equal. This special risk/return ratio may be altered by fluctuations in interest rates, credit spreads and implied volatility. Besides this asymmetric behaviour of convertibles, the aim is also to benefit from a portfolio with an average SRI rating higher than its benchmark as assessed by LA BANQUE POSTALE ASSET MANAGEMENT.

BENCHMARK The Fund is not linked to any benchmark index or financial market index.

Management policy is based on a fundamental and discretionary management of asset allocation and the selection of convertible bonds or equivalent securities, which makes comparison with any specific benchmark index inappropriate.

However, for information purposes, the Fund's performance can be measured against the Thomson Reuters Global Convertibles Indices Europe Hedged (EUR) (Ticker UCBIFX20 Index), coupons and/or dividends reinvested.

CONVERTIBLES EUROPE RESPONSABLE Half-year report

The Thomson Reuters Global Convertibles Indices Europe Hedged (EUR) index is a European convertible bonds index.

The performance of the Thomson Reuters Global Convertibles Indices Europe Hedged (EUR) index includes coupons and/or dividends generated by the convertible bonds that make up the indicator.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

1. Strategies used

The management policy is based on a fundamental and discretionary management of asset allocation and on a selection of convertible or equivalent bonds meeting environmental or socially responsible criteria.

The management company relies on the external expertise and SRI methodology developed by LA BANQUE POSTALE ASSET MANAGEMENT regarding extra-financial analysis to select European convertible bonds that meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, according to a « best in class » approach.

The management company's investment process has six stages:

1- The SRI filter via the SRI methodology of LA BANQUE POSTALE ASSET MANAGEMENT:

The Fund's "Best-In-Class" management approach is to select within each business sector those companies most committed to sustainable development. This rating is produced in-house by LA BANQUE POSTALE ASSET MANAGEMENT which relies on analyses provided by specialised agencies such as VigeoEiris and MSCI ESG Research. The SRI rating evaluates companies based on their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) practices, according to LA BANQUE POSTALE ASSET MANAGEMENT SRI methodology which weights the specific challenges facing each sector, according to the ESG criteria retained. Companies with an SRI rating placing them in the third and fourth quartiles will be excluded from the investment universe. An exclusion approach will be added to the « Best-In-Class » approach, in order to avoid investments in businesses in sectors such as prostitution, unsafe atomic energy, the production of anti-personnel mines, etc. In addition, in order to identify more precisely the companies concerned by this exclusion, LA BANQUE POSTALE ASSET MANAGEMENT uses Oekom Research analyses. From this investment universe, the management company will at different stages:

2- Filter the universe in terms of liquidity and issue size to eliminate less liquid securities. Liquidity changes according to market conditions.

3- Evaluate the credit quality of the issuer and estimate the implied volatility of the convertible, exchangeable or indexed bond, or bond redeemable in international equities, in order to position the relative cost of each convertible bond in its universe and in relation to the other available implied volatilities (options, etc.);

4- Analyse the underlying stock and its earnings prospects;

5- Consolidate individual data and portfolio construction;

6- In accordance with the managers’ expectations, perform positioning and overall management of the exposures to equities, interest rates and credit.

Page 5: CONVERTIBLES EUROPE RESPONSABLE€¦ · bonds from the Eurozone meeting environmental or socially responsible criteria. The convertible bonds have an asymmetric risk/return profile:

CONVERTIBLES EUROPE RESPONSABLE Half-year report

The Fund's exposure to equity risk will depend on:

- on the one hand, the characteristics of convertible bonds, exchangeable bonds, redeemable bonds, etc., available on the market, - on the other, expectations of the management company concerning market fluctuations.

Thus, the equity exposure of the portfolio may vary in significant proportions over time; the equity exposure measuring the change of the convertible bond compared with a 1% change in the underlying share. For example, when the underlying equity increases by 1% and the convertible by 0.45% then the equity sensitivity of the convertible will be 45% (0.45%/1%). The equity sensitivity of the sub-fund is mostly balanced by the delta weighting of each line.

The Fund’s sensitivity to interest-rate risk will depend on:

- on the one hand, the characteristics of convertible bonds, exchangeable bonds, redeemable bonds, etc., available on the market, - on the other, our expectations concerning market fluctuations. Thus, sensitivity may change significantly over time.

The Fund’s sensitivity to credit risk will depend on:

- the characteristics of convertible bonds, exchangeable bonds, redeemable bonds, etc., available on the market. "Credit spreads", i.e. the difference between the yield at maturity from the security and the swap rate for an equivalent period, may change significantly over time. - positions taken on the credit derivatives market.

The management company may take positions on French and foreign regulated futures markets in order to expose and/or hedge the portfolio to/against the investment zone indices or to the underlying securities in order to pursue the management objective and take advantage of market variations. The Fund may be exposed up to 100% to the equity markets (due to the nature of convertible bonds and the investment process) with an average exposure of between 10% and 60% inclusive. Exchange rate risk will be systematically hedged. The hedging may include indirect exchange risk (the case of a security denominated in a currency whose underlying risk is in another currency). The objective of the hedging is to have a residual direct exposure which is less than 10%. For all units denominated in a currency other than EUR, the exchange rate risks of the unit’s currency shall be systematically hedged with respect to the fund’s benchmark currency. However, due to the technical difficulties in carrying out such hedging units denominated in currencies other than the EUR may possibly be exposed to a minor exchange rate risk due to changes in liability (subscriptions/redemptions) or assets (change in the value of hedged assets). All the costs and risks resulting from exchange rate hedging operations shall be at the charge respectively of the units denominated in currencies other than the EUR. The overall sensitivity range of the Fund shall be between 0 and 6.

2. Assets

The Fund will invest in rated or unrated assets, according to the analyses of the management company, where the underlying security and/or the issuer is a company having its registered office in a member country of the OECD or listed on a European market, with a predominant weighting in European countries. Thus, the Fund may be exposed to "High Yield" securities.

CONVERTIBLES EUROPE RESPONSABLE Half-year report

Convertible bonds:

The Fund invests at all times at least two thirds of its total assets in: - convertible bonds and/or, - exchangeable bonds and/or, - bonds redeemable in shares and/or, - bonds with subscription warrants and/or, - bonds indexed on shares and/or, - French “titres participatifs” (securities without voting rights but which provide an income of which one part is guaranteed and the other variable, depending on parameters linked to the company) and/or, - equivalent securities.

Debt securities and money market instruments and bonds:

The Fund may also be exposed to negotiable debt securities, borrowings, whatever their maturity or the issuer's rating (private or public), up to a maximum of 33% of its assets both as a performance driver and for cash management.

Equities:

The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in European equity market capitalisation of all sizes; these shares can only be the result of the conversion or exchange of a convertible bond or equivalent security. Their presence in the portfolio may not exceed one month.

Investment in units or shares in other UCITS, AIFs (Alternative Investment Fund) and/or foreign investment funds:

In order to achieve its management objective or to manage its cash flow, the Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in shares of French or European UCITS or AIFs of any classification, which respect the four criteria set out in article R.214-13 of the French Monetary and Financial Code. These UCITS and AIFs may be managed by UBI or other management entities. When the Fund invests in units of UCITS and/or AIFs managed directly or indirectly by UBI or by a company to which it is linked through common management or control, or through a direct or indirect shareholding of more than 10% of the capital or votes, no subscription or redemption fee may be charged to the Fund for investment in these UCITS or AIFs, with the exception of the commissions retained by the UCITS or AIFs. For investments made by the Fund in a UCITS or AIF or eligible investment funds linked to UBI as described above, there will not be any duplication of the management fees invoiced by UBI and the UCITS or the AIF or any other eligible investment fund concerned. Accordingly, the manager shall invest in units/shares of Group UCITS, AIFs or other eligible investment funds without incurring management fees. In default of this, the assets invested in Group UCITS and/or AIFs or other eligible investment funds shall be deducted from the base of management fees charged by the management company.

Securities’ Markets and Stock Exchanges:

You are reminded that the Fund may invest in any eligible financial security or money market instrument traded on a regulated market or other regulated market situated in an EU state or a state which is party to the European Economic Area agreement, or officially listed on a stock market of a third country to the European Union or European Economic Area, or traded on another market of a third country according to the conditions laid down in Article R.214-11 of the Monetary and Financial Code.

Accordingly, the management company does not exclude any stock or securities market in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Americas, Asia, Pacific. The securities in the portfolio may therefore by issued under any law, including securities issued under the regulations known as REG S or 144A, in respect of the investment strategy of the above fund.

CONVERTIBLES EUROPE RESPONSABLE Half-year report

3. Derivative instruments

The Fund may take positions in forward financial instruments traded on regulated markets in France and abroad, and conduct over-the-counter transactions on financial instruments, including interest-rate or currency swaps, without seeking overexposure.

In this context, the manager may take positions in order to expose and/or hedge the portfolio to/against the indices of the investment zone or the underlying securities in order to pursue the management objective, take advantage of market variations and generally to manage the portfolio’s exposure to the equity, bond and interest-rate markets (see investment process above). These transactions will be limited to a maximum exposure of 100% of the assets.

Markets invested in: - French and foreign regulated futures markets, - organised markets, - over-the-counter markets.

Risks to which the manger seeks exposure: - interest rates, - equities and similar securities, - market indices, - foreign exchange, - credit.

Instruments used for both exposure and hedging: - interest-rate swaps, - currency swaps, - forward foreign exchange contracts, - futures, - options, - Credit Default Swaps.

The Fund will not use any Total Return Swaps (TRS).

4. Securities with embedded derivatives (up to 100% of net assets)

The Fund may use securities such as convertible bonds and similar securities with embedded derivatives of the type mentioned in paragraph “2. Assets”, up to the limit of 100% of net assets. The strategy of using securities with embedded derivatives is the same as that described for the use of derivative instruments.

5. Deposits

The Fund may make cash deposits in order to optimise its cash management.

6. Cash borrowings

It is not the aim of the Fund to borrow cash, but it may find itself in a debtor liability position owing to transactions linked to its cash flow (ongoing investments and divestments, subscription/redemption transactions, etc.), within a limit of 10% of the net assets.

7. Sale and repurchase agreements

It is not the aim of the Fund to use these types of transactions.

CONVERTIBLES EUROPE RESPONSABLE Half-year report

FINANCIAL GUARANTEES The Fund does not generally receive financial guarantees. Due to the standardisation of a number of OTC markets following the implementation of the Dodd-Frank regulations in the US and EMIR in Europe, margin and guarantee deposit calls will pass through a central counterparty (CCP). The collateral delivered to the clearing house shall generally be in cash. The management company may also, in certain conditions, put financial guarantee contracts, commonly referred to as 'collateral agreements' in place with the majority of its counterparties. However some counterparties may not have such a contract. The financial guarantees authorised by these contracts are sums of cash in Euros or foreign currency as well as in some cases, financial securities.

RISK PROFILE Your money will be invested mainly in financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments are subject to the fluctuations and risks of the market.

The prices of convertible bonds are subject to a number of influences:

- the general level of interest rates - Interest-rate risk - the price of the underlying share - Equity risk - the level of the issuer’s credit risk - Credit risk - the volatility of the conversion option - Volatility risk

The level of these risks varies greatly over time. Furthermore, the general level of the markets has a significant influence on all these parameters.

Interest-rate risk:

Due to its composition, the Fund may be subject to interest rate risk. This risk results from the fact that in

general debt securities and bonds fall in price when interest rates rise. The investor in bonds or other fixed income securities may suffer negative performances following fluctuations in the level of interest rates. Equity risk: Your investment may be subject to a maximum 100% exposure to the equity market, because of the inherent nature of convertibles and our investment process. A fall in the equity markets can cause a fall in the net asset value of the Fund. Credit risk: Credit risk is the potential risk of decline in the credit rating of the issuer which will have a negative impact on the price of the security and therefore on the net asset value of the Fund. Credit risk also results when the issuer of a bond is not able to repay the loan and to make interest payments on the dates provided for in the contract. Volatility risk: Given an investment strategy consisting mainly of investments in convertible bonds, the net asset value of the Fund is liable to vary with changes in the value of the conversion option (i.e. the possibility of converting the bond into a share). These risks mean that the performance of the Fund does not depend solely on market trends; it is therefore possible that the value of the assets may fall at a time when equity markets are rising. Capital loss risk: The Fund carries no guarantee or protection, and the capital initially invested may not be returned.

CONVERTIBLES EUROPE RESPONSABLE Half-year report

Risk associated with investment in high yield securities:

There is a credit risk which applies to securities labelled “Speculative” which present a higher probability of

default than those of “Investment Grade”. They offer higher levels of yield in compensation, but may, in the case of a downgrade in the rating, reduce significantly the net asset value of the Fund. Risk associated with stock selection according to ESG criteria: This selection may lead to not selecting particular stocks and be a source of deviance from the benchmark. Liquidity risk: This risk corresponds to the potential difficulty in selling assets due to a lack of sufficient volume in the market. It may occur due to a sharp rise in risk aversion or disruption in the markets. This risk may affect convertible bonds and equivalent securities which are mainly traded on over-the-counter markets. Counterparty risk: Counterparty risk represents the risk of failure of a counterparty (particularly a banking establishment) leading to a default in payment. Any such default in payment by a counterparty may lead to a fall in the net asset value. Risk associated with the use of derivatives: The Fund is exposed to the risk of derivative products, mainly due to the possibility of the Fund being hedged or exposed to various markets via futures. The use of derivative products may therefore increase or reduce the sensitivity of the Fund to either upwards or downwards market movements. Residual exchange-rate risk: The Fund may invest in securities denominated in currencies other than the EUR, which are systematically hedged against exchange rate risk. A residual risk may remain due to the fluctuation of securities denominated in other currencies.
