Warning
Investing in mutual funds also involves risk. The value of the investment may rise, stagnate or even decrease, and the return on the amount originally invested is not guaranteed. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The tax regime depends on the individual circumstances of each unit-holder, and these may change in the future. The statutes, sales prospectuses and key information for investors, indicating the breakdown of fees and costs, as well as the risk profiles or risk descriptions are available in the Slovak language upon request at the registered offices of VÚB, a. s. and Eurizon Asset Management Slovakia, správ. spol., a.s., as well as at all points of sale of VÚB, a. s., and are freely available at www.vub.sk and/or www.eurizonslovakia.com and/or www.eurizoncapital.lu. The investors have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with all the documents referred to in this paragraph and should take into account all the characteristics and objectives of the fund described therein before making their final investment decision. In accordance with the statutes and/or sales prospectuses, the proportion of transferable securities or money market instruments issued or guaranteed by the states referred to in these documents may exceed 35% of the value of the assets in the fund, and may reach up to 100% of that value; the investment policy of the funds concerned may, in accordance with these documents, be to invest predominantly in assets other than transferable securities and money market instruments. Eurizon Capital S.A. funds have their management regulations published in English at www.eurizoncapital.lu; they can invest in a way that replicates financial indices, and their unit-holders must monitor and ensure the taxation of their returns.
