MAXDIV® Range of Indices

Based on original research from TOBAM, the MAXDIV® range of indices helps investors to avoid portfolio concentration. Constituents are weighted so that each effective risk factor contributes in a balanced manner to the risk of the portfolio, as opposed to a market capitalization weighted basis.

Indices are based on the Maximum Diversification® approach, constrained to fit the requirements of replication.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. The fund invests in financial instruments which are denominated in other currencies; as such changes in the relevant exchange rate will affect the value of the investment. Investors should understand that capital growth is not a priority for the Fund and that income levels will vary and are not guaranteed.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

TOBAM’s core investment philosophy is to maximize diversification in order to capture the full risk premium of an asset class.

Our research indicates that the systematic returns available from equity markets are higher than using market cap-weighted benchmarks, and are also far more stable over time. Using a biased benchmark as a reference carries heavy, costly, implicit bets which evolve dynamically. On the contrary, TOBAM’s Maximum Diversification® approach is designed to access the full risk premium evenly from all the independent risk factors available in the investment universe.

The Maximum Diversification® process is designed to create portfolios which lie closer to the ex-post efficient frontier than the market cap portfolio over a market cycle.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

TOBAM’s core investment philosophy is to maximize diversification in order to capture the full risk premium of an asset class.

Our research indicates that the systematic returns available from equity markets are higher than using market cap-weighted benchmarks, and are also far more stable over time. Using a biased benchmark as a reference carries heavy, costly, implicit bets which evolve dynamically. On the contrary, TOBAM’s Maximum Diversification® approach is designed to access the full risk premium evenly from all the independent risk factors available in the investment universe.

The Maximum Diversification® process is designed to create portfolios which lie closer to the ex-post efficient frontier than the market cap portfolio over a market cycle.

TOBAM Compliance Statement:

Source: TOBAM The information provided relates to past performance. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy. Performance is shown on a Net Asset Value (NAV) basis, with gross income reinvested where applicable. The return of your investment may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations if your investment is made in a currency other than that used in the past performance calculation.

TOBAM has continued and will continue its research efforts amending the investment process from time to time accordingly. TOBAM reserves the right of revision or change without notice, of the universe, data, models, strategy and opinions.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

TOBAM’s core investment philosophy is to maximize diversification in order to capture the full risk premium of an asset class.

Our research indicates that the systematic returns available from equity markets are higher than using market cap-weighted benchmarks, and are also far more stable over time. Using a biased benchmark as a reference carries heavy, costly, implicit bets which evolve dynamically. On the contrary, TOBAM’s Maximum Diversification® approach is designed to access the full risk premium evenly from all the independent risk factors available in the investment universe.

The Maximum Diversification® process is designed to create portfolios which lie closer to the ex-post efficient frontier than the market cap portfolio over a market cycle.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy. Performance is shown on a Net Asset Value (NAV) basis, with gross income reinvested where applicable. The return of your investment may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations if your investment is made in a currency other than that used in the past performance calculation.

Past performance and simulations based on back tests are not indicative of future results nor are they reliable indicators of future performance, forecast or prediction. TOBAM does not represent, and indices should not be construed, as a guarantee, promise or assurance of a specific return. Back tested data may reflect the application of the index methodology with the benefit of hindsight, and the historic calculation of an index may change from time to time based on revisions of the underlying data used in the calculation of the index. TOBAM has continued and will continue its research efforts amending the investment process from time to time accordingly. TOBAM reserves the right of revision or change without notice, of the universe, data, models, strategy and opinions. Back tests performance is not actual performance and do not guaranty the results of an actual index. The TOBAM Maximum Diversification Index Series are calculated by Solactive or its agent.

Irrespective of its obligations towards the Issuer, Solactive AG has no obligation to point out errors in the Index to third parties including but not limited to investors and/or financial intermediaries of the financial instrument. Neither publication of the Index by Solactive AG nor the licensing of the Index or Index trade mark for the purpose of use in connection with the financial instrument constitutes a recommendation by Solactive AG to invest capital in said financial instrument nor does it in any way represent an assurance or opinion of Solactive AG with regard to any investment in this financial instrument. TOBAM does not make any claim, prediction, warranty or representation whatsoever, expressly or impliedly, either as the results to be obtained from the use of the TOBAM Maximum Diversification Index Series or the suitability of the Index for any particular purpose.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

TOBAM’s core investment philosophy is to maximize diversification in order to capture the full risk premium of an asset class.

Our research indicates that the systematic returns available from equity markets are higher than using market cap-weighted benchmarks, and are also far more stable over time. Using a biased benchmark as a reference carries heavy, costly, implicit bets which evolve dynamically. On the contrary, TOBAM’s Maximum Diversification® approach is designed to access the full risk premium evenly from all the independent risk factors available in the investment universe.

The Maximum Diversification® process is designed to create portfolios which lie closer to the ex-post efficient frontier than the market cap portfolio over a market cycle.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

TOBAM’s core investment philosophy is to maximize diversification in order to capture the full risk premium of an asset class.

Our research indicates that the systematic returns available from equity markets are higher than using market cap-weighted benchmarks, and are also far more stable over time. Using a biased benchmark as a reference carries heavy, costly, implicit bets which evolve dynamically. On the contrary, TOBAM’s Maximum Diversification® approach is designed to access the full risk premium evenly from all the independent risk factors available in the investment universe.

The Maximum Diversification® process is designed to create portfolios which lie closer to the ex-post efficient frontier than the market cap portfolio over a market cycle.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

TOBAM’s core investment philosophy is to maximize diversification in order to capture the full risk premium of an asset class.

Our research indicates that the systematic returns available from equity markets are higher than using market cap-weighted benchmarks, and are also far more stable over time. Using a biased benchmark as a reference carries heavy, costly, implicit bets which evolve dynamically. On the contrary, TOBAM’s Maximum Diversification® approach is designed to access the full risk premium evenly from all the independent risk factors available in the investment universe.

The Maximum Diversification® process is designed to create portfolios which lie closer to the ex-post efficient frontier than the market cap portfolio over a market cycle.
