             Mid Cap: Already structured companies, billion euros market capitalisations (weighted average market
              cap above €3bn)

             Value creators on the whole cycle: self-financing growth, preserved profitability and self-financing even
              in recession times, whatever the sector

             International companies: tomorrow’s global leaders, capturing growth where it is

             Risk/Return optimisation: avoid individual appreciation bias, avoid mistakes and if any, limit capital loss
              risk

             No style bias, no macroeconomic bets: but a structural underweighting of non-value creator sectors
              and/or purely domestic businesses versus a structural overweighting on sectors with numerous attractive
              investment opportunities

             One team, one mission: a stable management team with high team spirit, united for the past 7 years ;
              one mission, our client capital’s growth

                *Jensen’s alpha determines the excess return of a fund over its theoretical risk-adjusted return. A positive (negative) Jensen’s alpha reading
                indicates performance that is higher (lower) than normal. It measures the ability to create value by being able to detect securities that return
                more over a given time period than their risk profile would suggest.


                                            Past performance is not a reliable indication of future returns and is not constant over time

Oddo Avenir Europe –
     Risk profile (1/2)

        Risk of loss of capital: The Fund has no guarantee or safeguard, so initial capital invested might not be returned in full.

        Equity risk: The Fund is invested, directly or indirectly, in one or more equity markets which could experience significant
        fluctuations. In periods of low equity prices, Fund net asset value could be reduced. The fund has a 100% max exposure to equity
        markets.

        Risk from holding small and mid capitalisation stocks: The Fund may be exposed to small and mid capitalisations. Upward
        and downward changes in these stocks can be both more marked and more rapid than for large capitalisations and can therefore
        lead to large fluctuations in net asset value. Moreover the restricted volume on these markets may present a liquidity risk. This
        type of investment may impact the valuation of the Fund and the price terms on which the Fund could liquidate its positions, and
        particularly, in the case of large redemptions, even make it impossible to sell them, with the consequent possible fall in Fund net
        asset value.

        Interest rate risk: This is the risk that bond market yields may rise, which would result in a fall in bond prices, and consequently
        lead to a fall in Fund net asset value. The fund can hold up to 25 % of its asset in bonds or in euro denominated debt securities.




38
Oddo Avenir Europe –
     Risk profile (2/2)

        Credit risk: This is the risk of potential deterioration in the rating of an issuer or, in extreme cases, of default, which would have an
        adverse impact on the prices of the debt securities issued by that issuer and therefore on the net asset value of the Fund, which
        could lead to a loss of capital. The level of credit risk varies according to forecasts, maturities and the level of confidence in each
        issuer which might reduce the liquidity of any particular issuer and have an adverse impact on Fund net asset value, particularly in
        the case of the Fund liquidating its positions in a market with low transaction volumes.

        Discretionary management risk: This risk relates to the management style which is based on anticipating movements on the
        various markets. There is a risk that at any point in time the Fund would not be invested in the best performing markets or in the
        best performing assets. Fund performance therefore depends on the ability of the fund manager to anticipate movements in the
        market or in the securities. This risk may lead to a fall in net asset value and/or a loss of capital for the unitholder.

        Counterparty risk: This is the risk of default by a counterparty leading to payment default. The Fund may be exposed to
        counterparty risk through using forward instruments negotiated over-the-counter with financial institutions. The Fund is therefore
        exposed to the risk that one of these credit institutions cannot honour its commitments in respect of these transactions.

        Exchange rate risk: This risk affects portfolios invested wholly or partly in securities denominated in foreign currencies, and
        arises from changes in the parities of these currencies by comparison to the fund reference currency. Thus, a security, the value of
        which in its own currency does not change, could nevertheless be affected by fluctuations in that currency against the euro and
        might therefore cause Fund net asset value to fall. This risk is limited up to 30% max of the total asset of the Fund.
        Please note that the exchange rate risk is of secondary importance for Oddo Avenir and Oddo Avenir Euro.

  • 38. Oddo Avenir Europe – Risk profile (1/2) Risk of loss of capital: The Fund has no guarantee or safeguard, so initial capital invested might not be returned in full. Equity risk: The Fund is invested, directly or indirectly, in one or more equity markets which could experience significant fluctuations. In periods of low equity prices, Fund net asset value could be reduced. The fund has a 100% max exposure to equity markets. Risk from holding small and mid capitalisation stocks: The Fund may be exposed to small and mid capitalisations. Upward and downward changes in these stocks can be both more marked and more rapid than for large capitalisations and can therefore lead to large fluctuations in net asset value. Moreover the restricted volume on these markets may present a liquidity risk. This type of investment may impact the valuation of the Fund and the price terms on which the Fund could liquidate its positions, and particularly, in the case of large redemptions, even make it impossible to sell them, with the consequent possible fall in Fund net asset value. Interest rate risk: This is the risk that bond market yields may rise, which would result in a fall in bond prices, and consequently lead to a fall in Fund net asset value. The fund can hold up to 25 % of its asset in bonds or in euro denominated debt securities. 38
  • 39. Oddo Avenir Europe – Risk profile (2/2) Credit risk: This is the risk of potential deterioration in the rating of an issuer or, in extreme cases, of default, which would have an adverse impact on the prices of the debt securities issued by that issuer and therefore on the net asset value of the Fund, which could lead to a loss of capital. The level of credit risk varies according to forecasts, maturities and the level of confidence in each issuer which might reduce the liquidity of any particular issuer and have an adverse impact on Fund net asset value, particularly in the case of the Fund liquidating its positions in a market with low transaction volumes. Discretionary management risk: This risk relates to the management style which is based on anticipating movements on the various markets. There is a risk that at any point in time the Fund would not be invested in the best performing markets or in the best performing assets. Fund performance therefore depends on the ability of the fund manager to anticipate movements in the market or in the securities. This risk may lead to a fall in net asset value and/or a loss of capital for the unitholder. Counterparty risk: This is the risk of default by a counterparty leading to payment default. The Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk through using forward instruments negotiated over-the-counter with financial institutions. The Fund is therefore exposed to the risk that one of these credit institutions cannot honour its commitments in respect of these transactions. Exchange rate risk: This risk affects portfolios invested wholly or partly in securities denominated in foreign currencies, and arises from changes in the parities of these currencies by comparison to the fund reference currency. Thus, a security, the value of which in its own currency does not change, could nevertheless be affected by fluctuations in that currency against the euro and might therefore cause Fund net asset value to fall. This risk is limited up to 30% max of the total asset of the Fund. Please note that the exchange rate risk is of secondary importance for Oddo Avenir and Oddo Avenir Euro. 39
