12.6.2009

We hereby inform you that Swisscanto will be merging the following subfunds on 20 July 2009:

The merger decision was taken due to the low investment volume within the transferring subfunds, which makes adequate risk diversification difficult or even impossible.

However, the accepting subfund from Swisscanto is a proven and attractive investment fund which offers investors more than just an alternative:

Swisscanto (LU) Equity Fund Selection International B

This investment fund invests in a wide range of global securities, with the exception of Swiss equities. For you as an investor, two main advantages will result from the now larger fund volume: wider diversification and more cost-efficient management. The reference currency of the merged investment fund will be the Swiss franc. The investment strategy of the Swisscanto (LU) Equity Fund Selection International B will remain unchanged.
