The appointment of the Global Distributor was made pursuant to a Distribution Agreement dated 7 July 2006, concluded for an unlimited period of time and may be terminated by either party upon a six (6) months' written prior notice.

The Management Company and/or the Global Distributor may enter into agreements with distributors (each a “Distributor”) - which is specified in the Appendix of the relevant Sub-Funds - for the offer and sale to the public of the Units, in accordance with all applicable laws. In addition, the Global Distributor may conclude contractual arrangements with dealers as its agents for the distribution of Units outside any jurisdiction that may require other distribution arrangements.

The Global Distributor or any of its agents, or the Distributors, may be involved in the collection of subscription, conversion and redemption orders on behalf of the Management Company and for any of the Sub-Funds and/or Classes and may, in that case, provide a Nominee service for investors purchasing Units through them. Investors may elect to make use of such Nominee service pursuant to which the Nominee will hold the Units in its name for and on behalf of the investors who shall be entitled at any time to claim direct title to the Units.

The Management Company, the Global Distributor and the Distributors will at all times comply with any obligations imposed by any applicable laws, rules and regulations with respect to money laundering, as they may be amended or revised from time to time. The Global Distributor will furthermore adopt procedures designed to ensure, to the extent applicable, that it and its agents or the Distributors shall comply with the foregoing undertaking.

The Global Distributor or any of its agents, if any, or the Distributors shall, to the extent required by the Management Company in Luxembourg, forward application forms, and shall furthermore forward cheques (made payable to the Fund) or wire monies in respect of applications for Units, to the Fund and will then be paid the sales charge in respect to Units issued pursuant thereto.

The investment objective of the Fund is to manage the assets of the different Sub-Funds for the benefit of the Unitholders for the purpose of earning a rate of return reflective of the investment objectives of the Fund, and of seeking growth of capital in the medium to long term in accordance with, for each Sub-Fund, the investment objective mentioned in the respective Appendix of each Sub-Fund, as defined for each Sub-Fund by the Board of Directors of the Management Company.

No assurance can however be given that the investment objective as described above will be achieved.

8 . 2 I n v e s t m e n t R u l e s a n d R e s t r i c t i o n s

( A ) T h e i n v e s t m e n t o b j e c t i v e a n d p o l i c y s h a l l c o m p l y w i t h t h e f o l l o w i n g r u l e s a n d r e s t r i c t i o n s :

(a) The Fund may acquire the units of UCITS and/or other UCIs referred to hereafter, provided that no more than 20% of its assets are invested in a single UCITS or other UCIs. Such units encompass units of UCITS authorised according to Directive 85/611/EEC and/or other UCIs within the meaning of Article 1, paragraph (2) first and second indents of Directive 85/611/EEC, should they be situated in a Member State of the European Union or not, provided that:

- such other UCIs are authorised under laws of a member State of the EU or in Canada, U.S.A., Japan, Hong Kong and Switzerland;

- the level of protection for holders in the other UCIs is equivalent to that provided for unit-holders in a UCITS, and in particular that the rules on asset segregation, borrowing, lending, uncovered sales of transferable securities and money market instruments are equivalent to the requirements of Directive 85/611/EEC;

(14)

- the business of the other UCIs is reported in half-yearly and annual reports to enable an assessment to be made of the assets and liabilities, income and operations over the reporting period;

- no more than 10% of the UCITS' or the other UCIs' assets, whose acquisition is contemplated, can, according to their constitutional documents, be invested in aggregate in units of other UCITS or other UCIs;

For the purposes of applying this investment limit, each Sub-Fund is to be considered as a separate issuer. (b) Investments in other UCIs of the open ended type will not exceed, in aggregate, 30 % of the net assets of

the Fund and may represent an increased risk as there may be for such UCIs investors' protection measures which are not equivalent to the measures investors are familiar with.

(c) The Fund may however, in each Sub-Fund invest in UCIs of the closed-ended type, provided that the Fund shall not:

(i) invest more than 10% of the net assets of any Sub-Funds in transferable securities which are not listed on a stock exchange or dealt in on another regulated market, that operates regularly and is recognised and open to the public;

(ii) acquire, in each Sub-Fund and in all the Sub-Fund together, more than 10% of the securities of the same kind issued by the same issuing body;

(iii) invest more than 10% of the net assets of any Sub-Fund in securities issued by the same issuing body.

(d) The Fund shall not acquire more than:

- 10 % of the non-voting shares of the same issuer;

- 10 % of the debt securities of the same issuer;

- 25 % of the units of the same UCITS and/or other UCI;

- 10 % of the money market instruments issued by the same issuer.

The limits laid down in the second, third and fourth indents may be disregarded at the time of acquisition if at that time the gross amount of debt securities or money market instruments or the net amount of the securities in issue cannot be calculated.

Such limits do not apply in relation to:

a) transferable securities and money market instruments issued or guaranteed by a Member State of the European Union or its local authorities;

b) transferable securities and money market instruments issued or guaranteed by a non-member State of the European Union;

c) transferable securities and money market instruments issued by public international bodies of which one or more Member States of the European Union are members;

d) shares held by UCITS in the capital of a company incorporated in a non-member State of the European Union which invests its assets mainly in the securities of issuing bodies having their registered office in that State, where under the legislation of that State, such a holding represents the only way in which the UCITS can invest in the securities of issuing bodies of that State. This derogation, however, shall apply only if in its investment policy the company from the non-member State of the European Union complies with the limits laid down in Articles 43 and 46 and Article 48, paragraphs (1) and (2). Where the limits set in Articles 43 and 46 are exceeded, Article 49 shall apply mutatis mutandis;

shares held by one or several investment companies in the capital of subsidiary companies carrying on only the business of management, advice or marketing in the country where the subsidiary is located, in regard to the repurchase of units at unit-holders’ request exclusively on its or their behalf.

(e) The Fund shall not invest in UCIs the purpose of which is to invest in other UCIs;

(f) The Fund shall not invest in UCIs the main purpose of which is the investment in futures contracts on commodities and/or financial instruments and/or options and/or in venture capital and/or in real estate

(15)

except if those UCIs are submitted to rules which are comparable to those provided for by Luxembourg law and regulations for such UCIs in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg;

(g) The Fund may, in each Sub-Fund, hold ancillary cash and cash equivalents (including money market instruments which are regularly negotiated and the residual maturity of which does not exceed twelve (12) months), provided that the investments in money market instruments be made in instruments issued or guaranteed by first class financial issuers;

(h) The Fund may borrow up to 10% of the net assets of each Sub-Fund provided that the borrowing is on a temporary basis;

(i) The Fund shall not make short sales on transferable securities or make other transactions relating to securities of which the Fund is not the owner;

(j) The Fund shall not acquire real estate except if such investment is necessary for the direct exercise of its business;

(k) The Fund shall not use its assets to underwrite any transferable securities;

(l) The Fund shall not issue warrants or other instruments granting the right to acquire Units of the Fund; (m) The Fund shall not grant loans or act as a guarantor on behalf of third parties.

(n) When the Fund invests in the units of other UCITS and/or other UCIs that are managed, directly or by delegation, by the Management Company or by any other company with which the Management Company is linked by common management or control, or by a substantial direct or indirect holding, no subscription or redemption fees may be charged to the Fund on account of its investment in the units of such other UCITS and/or UCIs.

In respect of a Sub-Fund's investments in UCITS and other UCIs whether managed or not by the Management Company or any other company linked to the Management Company as described above, the total management fee (excluding any performance fee, if any) charged to such Sub-Fund itself and the other UCITS and/or other UCIs concerned shall not exceed 3% of the relevant assets. The Fund will indicate in its annual report the total management fees charged both to the relevant Sub-Fund and to the UCITS and other UCIs in which such Sub-Fund has invested during the relevant period.

( B ) R u l e s a n d r e s t r i c t i o n s w i t h r e g a r d t o f i n a n c i a l i n s t r u m e n t s

1. The Fund can use financial derivative instruments for hedging and efficient portfolio management. The Management Company must employ:

- a risk management process which enables it to monitor and measure at any time the risk of the positions and their contribution to the overall risk profile of the portfolio and

- a process for accurate and independent assessment of the value of OTC financial derivative instruments.

2. The global exposure of each Sub-Fund relating to the financial derivative instruments may not exceed its net assets.

Unless otherwise specified in the appendices to the Prospectus (relating to the specific information on the different Sub-Funds), the global exposure is calculated using the commitment approach.

3. The Fund may enter into securities lending transactions, for the purpose of efficient portfolio management, provided that it complies with the following rules:

The Fund may only lend securities through a standardised system organised by a recognised clearing institution or through a first class financial institution subject to prudential supervision rules considered by the Regulatory Authority as equivalent to those prescribed by Community law and specialising in this type of transaction.

As part of its lending transactions, the Fund must in principle receive a guarantee, the value of which, during the duration of the contract, must be at least equal to 90% of the global valuation of the securities lent.

Such a guarantee shall not be required if the securities lending is made through Clearstream or Euroclear or through any other organisations assuring to the lender a reimbursement of the value of the securities

(16)

lent by way of a guarantee or otherwise.

This guarantee must be given in the form of liquid assets and/or in the form of securities issued or guaranteed by a member state of the OECD or by their local authorities or by supranational institutions and undertakings of a community, regional or worldwide nature and blocked in the name of the Fund until the expiry of the loan contract.

4. The Fund may enter into repurchase (“repo”) transactions which consist of the purchase and sale of securities with a clause reserving the seller the right or the obligation to repurchase from the acquirer the securities sold at a price and term specified by the two parties in their contractual arrangement.

The Fund can act either as purchaser or seller in repo transactions. Its involvement in such transactions is however subject to the following rules:

(a) The Fund may not buy or sell securities using a repo transaction unless the counterpart in such transactions is subject to prudential supervision rules considered by the Regulatory Authority as equivalent to those prescribed by Community law specialising in this type of transaction.

(b) During the life of a repo contract of purchase, the Fund cannot sell the securities which are the object of the contract, either before the right to repurchase these securities has been exercised by the counterparty, or the repurchase term has expired.

(c) Where the Fund is exposed to repurchases, it must take care to ensure that the level of its exposure to repo transactions is such that it is able, at all times, to meet its repurchase obligations.

9 .

G e n e r a l R i s k C o n s i d e r a t i o n s

The investments of the Fund are subject to market fluctuations and to the risks inherent in all investments; accordingly, no assurance can be given that the investment objectives will be achieved.

The value of an investment by the Fund in a UCI may be affected by fluctuations in the currency of the country where such UCI invests, or by the application of foreign exchange rules, or of various tax laws of the relevant countries, including withholding taxes, government changes or variations of the monetary and economic policy of the relevant countries.

However, the risks inherent to investments in other UCI are limited to the loss of the initial investment contributed by the Fund.

Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the evolution of the NAV per Unit will mainly depend on the evolution of the NAV of the targeted UCIs.

Investors' attention is drawn on the following:

the calculation of the NAV per Unit of each Sub-Fund or Class may only be determined after the value of the investments has been determined, which may take some time after the Valuation Day;

the number of Units subscribed may therefore not be determined until the NAV per Unit is calculated. Investors should note that investments in non regulated UCIs may represent an increased risk as there may be for such UCIs investor's protection measures which are not equivalent to the measures investors are familiar with.

9 . 1 S p e c i f i c N a t u r e o f a F u n d o f F u n d s

Prospective investors should be aware of the specific features of a fund of funds and the consequences of investing in UCITS and/or UCI’s. Although the Fund will seek to monitor investments and trading activities of the UCITS and/or UCI’s to which assets will be allocated, investment decisions are made at the level of such UCITS and/or UCI’s and it is possible that the managers of such UCITS and/or UCI’s will take positions or engage in transactions in the same securities or in issues of the same asset class, industry or country or currency at the same time. Consequently there is a possibility that one UCITS and/or UCI may purchase an asset at about the same time as another UCITS and/or UCI may sell it.

There can be no assurance that the selection of the managers of the UCITS and/or UCI’s will result in an effective diversification of investment styles and that positions taken by the underlying UCITS and/or UCI’s will always be

(17)

consistent.

The selection of UCITS and/or UCI’s will be made in a manner to secure the opportunity to have the shares or units in such UCITS and/or UCI’s redeemed within a reasonable time frame. There is, however, no assurance that the liquidity of the UCITS and/or UCI’s will always be sufficient to meet redemption requests as and when made.

9 . 2 D u p l i c a t i o n o f F e e s

The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses paid by the UCIs in which the Fund invests, in addition to all fees and expenses payable by the Fund.

9 . 3 S p e c i a l I n v e s t m e n t T e c h n i q u e s

The use of currency hedging techniques and instruments, compared to traditional forms of investment, involves greater risks.

9 . 4 F o r e i g n E x c h a n g e / C u r r e n c y R i s k

Each Sub-Fund may invest its assets in securities denominated in a wide range of currencies which are not the Unit Currency. The NAV of Units is expressed in its respective Unit Currency and will fluctuate in accordance with the changes in foreign exchange rate between the Unit Currency and the currencies in which the Fund's investments are denominated.

9 . 5 E m e r g i n g M a r k e t s R i s k

Investing in emerging market securities involves a number of risk factors and special considerations, including (1) restrictions on foreign investment and on repatriation of capital invested in emerging markets, (2) currency fluctuations, (3) potential price volatility and lesser liquidity of securities traded in emerging markets, (4) economic and political risks, including the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets and (5) risks related to custodial arrangements and delays or other factors in the settlement of securities transactions. In addition, accounting, auditing, financial and other reporting standards in emerging markets are not equivalent to those in more developed markets. Investments in emerging markets may increase the volatility of the fund’s net asset value. Accordingly, an investment in the fund’s Units may be worth more or less on redemption than their original purchase value.

1 0 . T h e

U n i t s

Units in any Sub-Fund will be issued on a registered basis only.

The inscription of a Unitholder's name in the register of Units evidences his or her right of ownership of such registered Units. Holders of registered Units shall receive a written confirmation of his or her unitholding. No Unit certificates will be issued.

The forms relating to the transfer of Units are available at the Registered Office of the Management Company. Units are freely transferable except to prohibited persons as referred to in Article 6.5 of the Management Regulations.

All Units must be fully paid-up; they are of no par value and carry no preferential or pre-emptive rights.

Fractional registered Units are issued with up to four (4) decimals (ten thousandth of a Unit), and such fractional Units shall be entitled to a participation in the net results and in the proceeds of liquidation attributable to the relevant Sub-Fund and Class of Units on a prorata basis.

1 1 .

I s s u e a n d S a l e o f U n i t s

Units are made available through the Management Company. The Management Company and the Registrar and Transfer Agent will at all times comply with any obligations imposed by any applicable Luxembourg laws, rules and regulations with respect to money laundering and, in particular, with all the relevant IML/CSSF Circulars as they may be amended or revised from time to time.

(18)

Within each Sub-Fund several Classes of Units may be issued by the Management Company acting on behalf of the Fund depending, among others, on the qualification and characteristics of the subscribers, the subscription amount, and, on the Unit Currency of the relevant Class.

The minimum initial and subsequent investment as well as the minimum holding per investor is determined in the Appendix of the relevant Sub-Fund. The subscription price for the Units shall be equal to the NAV per Unit of the relevant Sub-Fund and Class calculated on the applicable Valuation Day together with any applicable Subscription Fee, which may not exceed a maximum percentage (as defined for each Sub-Fund in the respective Appendix) of the NAV per Unit or initial offer price, as the case may be.

Unitholders subscription requests will be dealt with on any Business Day, using the next calculated NAV determined following the day of receipt of the subscription request, provided that the applications are received by the Registrar and Transfer Agent before the subscription deadline determined for each Sub-Fund in the respective Appendix and provided that the payment for Units is made within the deadline mentioned here below. Applications received after the subscription deadline will be processed on the next Valuation Day following the day of receipt of the subscription request, using the NAV determined on that Valuation Day.

By derogation of the above, subscriptions for Units accepted during the initial offering period for a Sub-Fund and/or Class will be dealt with at the initial subscription price per Unit, as mentioned in the Appendix relating to the relevant Sub-Fund and Class.

Investors will be required to complete the application form for Units attached hereto or other documentation satisfactory to the Management Company in particular for the purpose of verifying that the subscriber is not a "U.S Person". Application forms containing such representations are available from the Management Company or the Fund's duly appointedagents.

Payments for Units shall be made available to the Transfer Agent no later than on the subscription deadline as mentioned in the Appendix relating to the relevant Sub-Fund and Class by electronic bank transfer net of all bank charges (except where local banking practices do not allow electronic bank transfers). Payment should be made in the Reference or Unit Currency of the relevant Sub-Fund and Class or in such other currency(ies) available to the Unitholders as mentioned under section 15.1 below, in which case any currency conversion costs shall be borne by the relevant Sub-Fund and/or Class, to the bank account indicated by the Registrar and Transfer Agent. Currency conversion rate of the relevant Valuation Day will be used. Information on the available currency(ies) of subscription may also be obtained at the registered office of the Management Company and of the Distributor or its agents.

Other methods of payment are subject to the prior approval of the Management Company. Where payments do not result in the receipt of cleared funds within the deadline mentioned here-above, the processing of the subscription requests will be deferred until cleared monies are received, unless otherwise decided by the Management Company or the Fund's duly appointed agents.

Written confirmations of unitholding will be sent to Unitholders within five (5) Business Days after the relevant Valuation Day.

The Management Company may agree to issue Units as a consideration for a contribution in kind of securities, in compliance with the conditions set forth by Luxembourg law, in particular the obligation to deliver a valuation report from the Auditor (“réviseur d'entreprises agréé”) which shall be available for inspection by any Unitholder at the Registered Office of the Management Company and provided that such securities comply with the investment objectives and policies of the Fund described herein. Any costs incurred in connection with a contribution in kind of securities shall be borne by the relevant Unitholders.

The Management Company reserves the right to reject, at its sole discretion, any subscription request whether in whole or in part, in which case subscription monies paid, or the balance thereof, as appropriate, will be returned to the applicant as soon as practicable thereafter, provided such subscription monies have cleared, or to suspend at any time and without prior notice the issue of Units.

No Units will be issued during any period when the calculation of the NAV per Unit is suspended by the Management Company, pursuant to the powers reserved to it by Article 18.3 of the Management Regulations. In the case of suspension of dealings in the Units any subscription request will be dealt with on the first Valuation Day following the end of such suspension period.

1 2 .

C o n v e r s i o n o f U n i t s

(19)

the same Class of Units.

Unitholders must specify the relevant Sub-Fund(s) and Class(es) of Units as well as the number of Units or monetary amount they wish to convert and the newly selected Sub-Fund(s) to which their Units are to be converted.

The value at which Units of any Class in any Sub-Fund shall be converted will be determined by reference to the respective NAV of the relevant Units, calculated on the same Valuation Day decreased, if applicable, by a conversion fee as determined for each Sub-Fund in the respective Appendix.

A conversion of Units of one Sub-Fund for Units of another Sub-Fund will be treated as redemption of Units and simultaneous purchase of Units. A converting Unitholder may, therefore, realise a taxable gain or loss in connection with the conversion under the laws of the country of the Unitholder's citizenship, residence or domicile. All terms and notices regarding the redemption of Units shall equally apply to the conversion of Units.

In converting Units of a Sub-Fund for Units of another Sub-Fund, a Unitholder must meet any applicable minimum investment requirement imposed in the relevant Class of the acquired Sub-Fund.

If, as a result of any request for conversion the aggregate NAV of the Units held by the converting Unitholder in a Class of Units within a Sub-Fund falls below the minimum holding requirement indicated herein the Fund may treat such request as a request to convert the entire unitholding of such Unitholder in such Class at the Fund's discretion.

If on any given date dealing with conversion requests representing more than 10% of the Units in issuance in any Sub-Fund may not be effected without affecting the relevant Sub-Fund's assets, the Management Company may upon consent of the Custodian defer conversions exceeding such percentage for such period as is considered necessary to sell part of the relevant Sub-Fund's assets in order to be able to meet the substantial conversion requests.

1 3 .

R e d e m p t i o n o f U n i t s

Each Unitholder of the Fund may at any time request the Management Company to redeem on any Business Day all or any of the Units held by such Unitholder.

Unitholders desiring to have all or any of their Units redeemed have to apply in writing to the Management Company directly at the registered office of the Registrar and Transfer Agent.

Redemption requests should contain the following information (if applicable): the identity and address of the Unitholder requesting the redemption, the number of Units or currency amount to be redeemed, the relevant Sub-Fund and Class, the name in which such Units are registered and details as to whom payment should be made. All necessary documents to complete the redemption request have to be enclosed with such application.

Unitholders whose redemption requests are accepted on a Business Day will have their Units redeemed on the next Valuation Day, using the NAV of the relevant Sub-Fund and Class determined on that Valuation Day, provided that the applications are received by the Registrar and Transfer Agentbefore the redemption deadline as determined for each Sub-Fund in the respective Appendix. Applications received after that deadline will be processed on the next Valuation Day following the day of receipt of the redemption request, using the NAV determined on that Valuation Day.

Units will be redeemed at a price equal to the NAV per Unit of the relevant Sub-Fund and Class on the applicable Valuation Day less any applicable Redemption Fee for the benefit of the Management Company and/or for the benefit of any Distributor as described in the Appendices of the respective Sub-Fund(s) which may not exceed a maximum percentage (as determined for each Sub-Fund in the respective Appendix) of the NAV per Unit as described below (the "Redemption Price"). The Redemption Price may be higher or lower than the price paid at the time the subscription was made.

The Redemption Price shall be paid not later than three (3) Business Days after the applicable Redemption Day, or from the date on which the redemption request details have been received by the Management Company, whichever is the later date.

Payment of the Redemption Price will be made by wire or by cheque mailed to the Unitholder at the address indicated by him or her at such Unitholder's expense and at the Unitholder's risk.

The Redemption Price will be paid in the Reference or Unit Currency of the relevant Sub-Fund or Class or the currency in which the Unitholder has subscribed, in which case any currency conversion costs shall be borne by

(20)

the relevant Sub-Fund and/or Class. Currency conversion rate of the relevant Valuation Day will be used.

Units of any Class of any Sub-Fund will not be redeemed if the calculation of the NAV per Unit is suspended by the Management Company in accordance with Article 18.3 of the Management Regulations.

Furthermore, if on any Valuation Day, redemption requests pursuant to Article 7.2 of the Management Regulations relate to more than 10% of the Units in issue in a Sub-Fund, the Board of Directors may decide that part or all of such requests for redemption will be deferred for such period as the Board of Directors considers to be in the best interests of the Fund, but normally not exceeding two Valuation Days. On the next Valuation Day following such period, these redemptions requests will be met in priority to later requests.

The Management Regulations contain at Article 6.5provisions, which entitle the Fund to compulsorily redeem Units held by prohibited persons.

1 4 . D i s t r i b u t i o n

P o l i c y

The Fund pursues the following distribution policy:

The Management Company may, on behalf of the Sub-Funds and/or Classes, declare annually, or, if the Management Company so decides, semi-annually the amounts which will be distributed to the Unitholders of the Sub-Fund and/or Class in question.

Such payments shall be made within one (1) month of their declaration to all Unitholders as of the record date and the Units shall be traded and issued ex-dividend form the day following such record date.

Monies not claimed within five (5) years of the publication of the declaration in relation to their payment shall be forfeited and shall revert to the relevant Sub-Fund and/or Class.

With regard to the Sub-Funds and/or Classes which accumulate their income, there will be no cash dividends and all net income and net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation shall be accumulated. The Management Company may, however, declare a stock dividend out of accumulated profits.

Please refer to the Sub-Fund’s relevant Appendix under “Distribution Policy” in order to determine whether a given Sub-Fund and/or Class distributes or accumulates its income.

In any event, no distribution may be made if, as a result, the net assets of the Fund would fall below EUR 1.250.000,.-.

1 5 . 1 C a l c u l a t i o n a n d P u b l i c a t i o n

The NAV per Unit of each Sub-Fund and Class shall be expressed in the relevant Reference Currency or Unit Currency as determined in the relevant Appendix.

The Management Company may decide to accept subscriptions of Units in a currency different from the Reference Currency of the relevant Sub-Fund or the Unit Currency, if the latter should differ from the Reference Currency, in which case, the Net Asset Value per Unit shall also be available in such currency(ies). For the time being, the available currency of subscription different from the Reference currency or the Unit Currency, as the case may be, is the Swedish Kroner. Information on the available currency(ies) of subscription may also be obtained at the registered office of the Management Company and of the Distributor or its agents.

The NAV per Unit of each Sub-Fund and Class shall be determined as of any Valuation Day by dividing the net assets of the relevant Sub-Fund attributable to the relevant Class of Units, (being the value of the portion of assets less the portion of liabilities attributable to such Class, on any such Valuation Day), by the total number of Units in such Class then outstanding, in accordance with the valuation rules set forth below. The NAV per Unit may be rounded up or down to the nearest unit of the relevant currency of each Class as the Management Company shall determine. If since the time of determination of the NAV per Unit on the relevant Valuation Day, there has been a material change in the quotations in the markets on which a substantial portion of the investments of the relevant Sub-Fund are dealt in or quoted, the Management Company may, in order to safeguard the interests of the Unitholders and the relevant Sub-Fund, cancel the first valuation and carry out a second valuation for all applications received on the relevant Valuation Day.
