VIG Czech Short Term Bond Investment Fund

The Fund Manager selects portfolio elements in accordance with the above principles. When making investment decisions, the tools of fundamental analysis and technical analysis are used, and the current market sentiment is also taken into account. The Fund primarily invests in discount treasury bills issued by the Czech State, sovereign bonds, bonds of quasi-sovereign companies, or bonds or deposit-like instruments issued by the Czech National Bank, the European Central Bank or the central bank of another Member State of the European Union. To a limited extent, the portfolio may include government securities, state-guaranteed bonds, corporate bonds (including those issued by financial institutions) and mortgage bonds with at least investment-grade credit rating. Investments may be made in Czech crowns or, to a limited extent, in other currencies. In the case of assets denominated in a currency other than Czech crowns, the Asset Manager shall strive to fully hedge foreign exchange risks (there cannot be a difference of more than 5% between the currency exposure of the derivative transaction and that of the asset to be hedged).
The Fund may enter into deposit and repo transactions, invest ? to a limited extent ? in units in collective investment undertakings, and derivatives may as well be used (for the purposes of hedging or building an efficient portfolio).
