In accordance with the provisions of the Product Annex of the Sub-Funds as disclosed in the current prospectus of the Company (the “Prospectus”), to achieve its Investment Policy each Sub-Fund may:
- enter into a financial contract (derivative) with Deutsche Bank AG to swap most subscription proceeds for a return on the relevant Reference Index or Underlying Asset (as applicable) (a "Funded Swap"); and/or
- invest in transferable securities and enter into derivatives with Deutsche Bank AG relating to the transferable securities and the relevant Reference Index or Underlying Asset (as applicable), in order to obtain the return on the relevant Reference Index or Underlying Asset (as applicable) (an "Unfunded Swap").
According to the Prospectus, the Sub-Funds may, with due regard to the best interest of its Shareholders, decide from time to time to switch partially or totally from a Funded Swap to an Unfunded Swap and vice versa.
Based on the above provisions, the board of directors of the Company has decided to totally switch the Sub-Funds from a Funded Swap to an Unfunded Swap to be effective on the following dates:
