AEGON Russia Equity Fund


General information

Investment policy of the Fund


The AEGON Russia Equity Fund primarily targets the stock exchange-traded shares of companies that maintain an active presence in Russia or the other CIS states, or which generate a substantial proportion of their revenues in these countries. The Fund predominantly invests in equities, but its portfolio also contains Hungarian bonds and discount treasury bills, currencies and money-market products, to ensure the Fund's liquidity. The equity investments are usually denominated in foreign currency; however the fund may hedge some or all of the currency risk arising from these liabilities by concluding forward or option transactions. Although the Russian and CIS market promises a high potential return, the value of investments may display a marked degree of fluctuation in the short term, and therefore it is advisable to treat the Fund as a long-term investment. The Fund Manager primarily bases its investment decisions on its own fundamental analyses, but it also makes use of the information and analyses provided by other investment service providers, banks and independent research companies, in the interests of reducing risks and maximising returns. The Fund’s benchmark: 90% RXEUR Index + 10% ZMAX Index
