Important information

Information on the Perfect Basket:

By accessing the Portfolio Composition File (PCF), you agree not to reproduce, distribute or disseminate the PCF, in whole or in part, in any form without prior written permission of Ossiam, STOXX Ltd, Standard & Poor's, Société Générale, Barclays or FTSE. Data included in this document is considered reliable by Ossiam at the time specified given the information in its possession.

However Ossiam does not provide any guarantee, expressed or implied, on the quality of the information, and the fundâcomposition may be different from the composition of the PCF because of the replication strategy put in place. In no event shall Ossiam Euronext, STOXX Ltd or Standard & Poor's have any liability relating to the use of the PCF. The PCF is for informational purposes only.

Information on the fund's inventory:

Materials contained on this website have been prepared for information purposes only, and are not of any statutory nature. As information contained may not be updated as you consult them, we suggest you to verify the update dates indicated on the website.

As the ETF is using a synthetic replication model, a swap agreement has been signed with counterparty, exposing investors to counterparty risk (not exceeding 10% of the NAV per counterparty).

For each Ossiam ETF, the NAV calculated for day D is based on the closing price of the benchmark index as observed on day D.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

The value of the product can go down as well as up and can be subject to volatility due to factors such as price changes in the underlying instrument and interest rates. In the worst case scenario, investors can lose all of their investment.

As a result of entering into swap(s) transaction(s), the Fund is subject to potential counterparty and issuer risk. In the event of insolvency or default of the counterparty or issuer, the Fund could suffer a loss. The value of the swap(s) transaction(s) may vary according to several factors such as (but not limited to) the level of the Index, the level of interest rates and the liquidity of the equity market.

Fund assets

The fund uses synthetic replication to track the performance of the Index. Therefore, the Fund holds a basket of stocks called a "substitude basket" and an index swap. The substitute basket is a selection of stocks that are included in the index composition or that can be different from the latter one. The index swap is a contract between the ETF and one or more counterparties according to which the ETF pays to the counterparty(ies) the performance of the substitute basket and receives from the counterparty(ies) the performance of the index. For the sake of transparency, Ossiam publishes the full composition of the ETF assets (with a delay of 2 working days due to index provider constraints). The table below shows the 10 largest lines of the ETF assets. To download the full composition of the ETF assets, click on the link "download the fund assets (Excel)".

SPECIAL WARNING CONCERNING ETFs

The information (data, graphs, and documents) contained in this site, though provided by reliable sources, does not constitute any form of investment advice. Moreover, this site is consulted entirely at the viewer’s risk. Ossiam‘s Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) may be subject to restrictions with regard to certain persons or in certain countries according to national regulatory requirements applicable to those persons or in those countries. It is the responsibility of the investor to ensure authorization for investment in these products.

Trackers, also called Exchange Traded Fund or ETFs, are index funds that are listed on the stock exchange and replicate the performance of their benchmark index as closely as possible whether it is rising or falling.

Investments in shares of an ETF present in particular the following risks:

- Equity risk: an ETF may be 100% exposed to market risks linked to movements of the equity components of the index. Equity market movements may lead to significant variation in the net assets, which can have a negative impact on the Fund's net asset value.

- Risk of the loss of invested capital: given the equity risk, the investor is warned that he may suffer non-measurable losses in his invested capital, as investments are subject to normal market fluctuations, as well as risks inherent to any security investment. The initial capital invested is not guaranteed. An investment should only be carried out by investors who may sustain loss of their investment.

Investment in Ossiam Lux is not suitable for all investors and the amount to be reasonably invested in the Fund depends on the investor's personal circumstances. To determine this, investors must take into account their personal wealth, personal assets, current and future needs, as well as their risk tolerance profile, whether this favours high or low-risk investments. It is also highly recommended that investments be diversified in order to avoid exposure solely to the risks of this Fund. Investors are advised to seek advice from their usual advisors (financial, legal, taxation) before purchasing any share units.

No information on this site constitutes an offer to buy, an offer to sell securities, investment advice regarding the purchase or sale of any security, or an offer or solicitation by Ossiam to supply investment advice or financial, legal, fiscal, or investment services, or the buying or selling of securities or other financial instruments.
