Mit dem Herunterladen oder Kopieren von Material oder Software von den Sites werden keine Rechtsansprüche an auf den Sites enthaltener Software oder darauf enthaltenem Material übertragen. Sämtliche Immaterialgüterrechte (wie z. B. Urheber-, Design- und Markenrechte) an dem auf den Sites enthaltenen Material (inkl. Software) liegen bei SAM, welche die betreffenden Rechte gemäss den anwendbaren Gesetzen durchsetzen wird. Jegliche Reproduktion, Weiterveröffentlichung oder Vertrieb von Inhalten dieser Sites erfordert die schriftliche Zustimmung von SAM sowie die ausdrückliche Quellenangabe. 1.6. Wesentliche Interessen SAM und/oder deren Verwaltungsräte, Führungskräfte und Mitarbeiter haben/hatten möglicherweise Anteile oder Positionen bzw. handelten oder fungierten als Market Maker mit auf der Sites erwähnten Titeln. Darüber hinaus stehen/standen solche juristischen oder natürlichen Personen möglicherweise in Beziehung mit auf den Sites erwähnten Unternehmen, stellen/stellten diesen Unternehmen Corporate Finance oder andere Dienstleistungen zur Verfügung oder haben/hatten als Direktionsmitglieder einen Sitz in deren Geschäftsleitung. 1.7. Performance Die vergangene Kursentwicklung ist keine Indikation oder Garantie für die zukünftige Performance des Anlagevermögens. Der Wert von Anlagen kann Schwankungen unterworfen sein, und die Anleger erhalten unter Umständen nicht den gesamten investierten Betrag zurück. Auch Wechselkursschwankungen können den Wert einer Anlage steigern oder verringern. 2. Spezielles zu Anlagefonds 2.1. Zielgruppe der Sites Die Sites richten sich ausschliesslich an juristische und natürliche Personen mit Sitz oder Wohnsitz in Ländern, in denen die Anlagefonds bzw. die dazu gehörigen Teilfonds oder Anteilklassen von SAM zum öffentlichen Vertreiben, Anbieten oder Verkaufen gemäss der anwendbaren lokalen Gesetzgebung ordnungsgemäss zugelassen bzw. berechtigt sind. Die auf den Sites zur Verfügung gestellten Informationen und Dienste sind nicht zum Vertrieb an oder zur Verwendung durch natürlich oder juristische Personen in Rechtsordnungen oder Ländern bestimmt, in denen der Vertrieb oder die Nutzung gegen die lokale Gesetzgebung oder Vorschriften verstösst, oder in denen zur SAM gehörende Geschäftseinheiten Registrierungsanforderungen in dieser Rechtsordnung oder diesem Land unterworfen würden. Natürliche oder juristische Personen, für welche diese Verbote gelten, dürfen nicht auf diese Sites zugreifen beziehungsweise diese nicht nutzen. Die SAM Anlagefonds sind NICHT für den öffentlichen Vertrieb, das Angebot oder den Verkauf in Grossbritannien, Kanada, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hongkong oder Israel entsprechend den dort geltenden Gesetzen sowie NICHT in den Vereinigten Staaten für den öffentlichen Vertrieb, das Angebot oder den Verkauf zugelassen. Insbesondere sind die SAM Anlagefonds NICHT für den öffentlichen Vertrieb, das Angebot oder den Verkauf in den Vereinigten Staaten gemäss dem US-Investment Company Act von 1940 oder dem US-Securities Act von 1933 zugelassen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird grossen Wert darauf gelegt, dass diese Sites nicht an juristische oder natürliche Personen gerichtet sind, die ihren Sitz oder Wohnsitz in obenbezeichneten Ländern, deren Territorien oder abhängigen Gebieten haben oder die aufgrund ihrer Staatsbürgerschaft oder eines vergleichbaren Status dem Recht eines dieser Länder unterliegen. 2.2. Anlagerisiken Jeder Anleger muss sich bewusst sein, dass Anteile von Anlagefonds Risiken bergen, diese können bis zum möglichen Verlustes des eingesetzten Kapitals reichen. In der Vergangenheit erzielte Wert- oder Gewinnentwicklungen stellen weder eine Garantie noch einen Hinweis auf die zukünftige Wert- oder Gewinnentwicklung dar. Der Kurs einer Anlage in einen Fonds wie auch der daraus erwirtschaftete Ertrag schwanken, so dass die Anteile eines Anlegers bei einer Rücknahme über oder unter dem ursprünglichen Einstandspreis liegen können. Die Wertentwicklung eines Fonds kann aufgrund von ständigen Marktschwankungen kurzfristigen Veränderungen unterliegen. Darüber hinaus unterliegen Anlagefonds, die hauptsächlich in aufstrebende Märkte (sog. „Emerging Markets“) und/oder in Aktien niedrigkapitalisierter Unternehmen und/oder in hochverzinsliche Anleihen investieren, grundsätzlich höheren Risiken. Um sich über die jeweiligen Risiken genau zu informieren raten wir Ihnen die jeweiligen Fondprospekte genau zu lesen. Da die Fonds auch in ausländische Währungen (im Vergleich zur Referenzwährung des jeweiligen Fonds) investieren, kann sich daraus das zusätzliche Risiko von Wechselkursschwankungen ergeben. 2.3. Nicht zum öffentlichen Vertrieb zugelassene Fonds Auf den folgenden Sites sind unter anderem Informationen zu in der Schweiz nicht zum öffentlichen Vertrieb zugelassene Anlagefonds sichtbar. Der Verkauf von Anteilen solcher Fonds ist nur im Rahmen von Platzierungen an professionelle Anleger zulässig. Die Informationen dürfen nicht öffentlich zugänglich gemacht und in der Schweiz nur an professionelle Anleger wie oben definiert und nachfolgend zu bestätigen, weitergegeben werden. Anlagen in solche Fonds können alternative Anlagestrategien verfolgen und können erheblich höhere Risiken als zum öffentlichen Vertrieb zugelassene Fonds beinhalten. Der Anleger muss damit rechnen, einen erheblichen Teil oder sogar einen Totalverlust der Anlage hinnehmen zu müssen. Anteile sollten daher nur von solchen Anlegern erworben werden, die solche Risiken gegebenenfalls tragen können. 2.4. Fondsunterlagen/Rechtlicher Hinweis Eine Anlage sollten Sie nur tätigen, nachdem Sie den letzten Verkaufsprospekt bzw. den Fondsvertrag bzw. Fondsprospekt, die aktuellen Jahres- und Halbjahresberichte, die Satzung (soweit zutreffend) sowie alle sonstigen Unterlagen, die gemäss lokaler Gesetzgebung und Vorschriften in den Rechtsordnungen, in denen der betreffende Fonds für den öffentlichen Vertrieb, das Angebot oder den Verkauf zugelassen bzw. berechtigt ist, erforderlich sein können, sorgfältig durchgelesen haben. Alle diese Dokumente sind kostenlos unter folgender Adresse erhältlich: SAM Sustainable Asset Management AG Josefstrasse 218 8005 Zürich Schweiz 3. Bestätigung Sie bestätigen durch das Anklicken von „Akzeptieren“, dass Sie mit den oben ausgeführten Nutzungsbedingungen und rechtlichen Bestimmungen einverstanden sind. Zusätzlich bestätigen Sie, ein professioneller Anleger im Sinne der obgenannten Definition zu sein. Andernfalls wählen Sie "Ablehnen", um die Site zu verlassen.
Legal provisions for professional investors from Switzerland. Definition of professional investors: The following pages are intended for professional investors domiciled in Switzerland. You may in particular also obtain details on investment funds that have not been approved for sale to the public in Switzerland (see point 2.3 below). Qualified investors within the meaning of the Federal Act on Collective Investment Schemes are considered professional investors. Included are, in particular, supervised financial intermediaries (banks, securities dealers, fund managements, etc.), supervised insurance companies, public bodies and pension funds as well as companies with professional treasury functions, moneyed private individuals with financial investments of at least over 2 million Swiss francs (at the time of the following agreement on these legal provisions at the bottom of this page). The requirement of the professional treasury is deemed fulfilled when the investor has entrusted as least one suitably qualified person with experience in the financial sector to manage his finances on an ongoing basis. 1.

SAM recommends in all cases to contact an independent financial adviser with whom you can ascertain whether investments in units of a specific investment fund correspond to your individual requirements. We also recommend that you seek advice from an independent tax consultant who can provide fiscal advice relating to a specific investment and individually tailored to your needs. 1.3.

If the publications bear a date, they are intended for publication only on this date. SAM has no obligation or responsibility whatsoever to update and/or correct such information. 1.4. No liability SAM, including its directors, agents, employees, contractors and sales partners disclaim, in full accordance with the law in force, any liability for losses or damage of any kind arising directly or indirectly as a result of: (1) the content of the site, in particular its up-to-date nature, accuracy and completeness as well as links or content of third parties; (2) errors or omissions on the sites; (3) inability to access or use the sites for any reason; (4) any other damage arising once or repeatedly from use (or as a result of the inability to use or access the) of the sites and their content.

Proprietary rights Unless accompanied by an explicit statement to the contrary, all content on this site is protected by copyright and is the property of SAM. Nothing on the site is intended to grant any license or right to use any images, texts, trademarks or logos. No act of downloading or copying from the site will transfer any legal entitlement to any software or material on the site to you. SAM reserves all intellectual property rights (such as copyright, design and trademark rights) to all material on the site, and will enforce such rights to the full extent of applicable law. Any reproduction, further publication or sale of content from these sites requires the written consent of SAM as well as the specific source reference. 1.6. Material interests SAM and/or its Board of Directors, executive management and employees may have or have had interests or positions or traded or acted as market makers in securities referred to on the site. In addition, such entities or persons may have or have had a relationship with or may provide, or have provided corporate finance or other services to, or serve or have served as directors of companies referred to on the site. 1.7. Performance Past performance is not an indication or guarantee of the future performance of the investment. The value of investments may be subject to fluctuations and, under certain circumstances, investors may not get back the full amount invested. Changes in foreign-exchange rates may also cause the value of investments to go up or down. 2. Specific information on investment funds 2.1. Target group of the sites The sites are intended exclusively for use by legal entities and natural persons having their registered office or residing in countries in which the investment funds or the related subfunds or share classes of SAM have been properly licensed or approved for public sale, offer or sale in accordance with the applicable local legislation. The information and services provided on the sites are not intended for sale to or use by legal entities or natural persons in legal jurisdictions or countries in which sale or use thereof would contravene local legislation or legal provisions, or in which business units forming part of SAM would be subject to registration requirements in such jurisdictions or countries. Legal entities or natural persons to which such prohibitions apply must not access or use the sites. Above all, SAM investment funds have NOT been licensed for marketing, offer or sale to the public in the United States in accordance with the US Investment Company Act of 1940 or the US Securities Act of 1933, or in the UK, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hong Kong or Israel in accordance with the laws in force in those countries. Therefore, particular importance is attached to ensuring that the sites are not intended for legal entities or natural persons who have their registered office or reside in the above designated countries, their territories or dependencies, or who, on account of their citizenship or similar status, are subject to the law of one of these countries. 2.2. Investment risks Every investor should be aware that shares in investment funds entail investment risks, including the possible loss of the invested capital. Past performance provides no guarantee and no indication of future performance. The price of an investment in a fund and the yield achieved there from fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares may be above or below the original acquisition price upon redemption. Due to continuing market volatility, the performance of the funds may be subject to extreme changes over the short term. Furthermore, investment funds investing mainly in emerging markets and/or in shares of small-capitalized companies and/or in high-interest-rate bonds are essentially subject to higher risks. In order to familiarize yourself with the respective risks, we advise you to read thoroughly the relevant fund prospectus. The funds may also invest in foreign currencies (as compared with the reference currency of the relevant fund). The added risk of exchange-rate fluctuations arises there from. 2.3. Additional information on non-registered investment funds On the following websites, information can be called up on investment funds which have not been approved for sale in Switzerland, among others. The sale of shares of such funds is permissible only as part of placings with professional investors. The information must not be made available to the public. In Switzerland, it may be forwarded only to professional investors as defined above and confirmed below. Investments in such funds may pursue alternative investment strategies and may include a considerably higher risk than funds approved for sale to the public. The investor must be prepared to lose a significant part or even the whole amount of the investment. Therefore, shares should be acquired only by those investors who are able, if necessary, to bear such risks. 2.4. Fund documents/legal information You should undertake an investment only after you have read carefully the latest edition of the sales prospectus and/or the fund agreement and/or the fund prospectus, the current annual and semi-annual reports, the articles of association (as far as they are applicable), as well as all other documents which may be required in accordance with local legislation and the legal provisions which apply in the legal jurisdictions in which the fund in question has been licensed and approved for marketing, offer or sale to the public. You can obtain all these documents free of charge from the following address: Switzerland: SAM Sustainable Asset Management AG Josefstrasse 218 8005 Zurich Switzerland 3. Confirmation By clicking "Accept", you confirm your agreement with the Terms of Use and legal provisions outlined above. In addition, you confirm that you are a professional investor within the meaning of the above definition. Alternatively, you can select “Reject” if you wish to leave the website.

Legal provisions for professional investors from Austria Definition of professional investors The following pages are intended for professional investors domiciled in Austria. You may, in particular, also obtain data on certified public investment funds which have not been approved for sale in Austria (see point 2.3 below). Professional investors have sufficient experience, skill and expert knowledge, in accordance with the prevalent legislation, and are thereby able to make their own investment decisions and assess the associated risks. Included are: in particular, supervised financial intermediaries (banks, securities companies, etc.), insurance companies, public bodies and pension funds, as well as companies which fulfil at least two of the following criteria: total assets of at least EUR 20 million, net turnover of at least EUR 40 million, own funds of a minimum of EUR 2 million. 1.

Material interests SAM and/or its Board of Directors, executive management and employees may have or have had interests or positions or traded or acted as market makers in securities referred to on the site.

Performance Past performance is not an indication or guarantee of the future performance of the investment. The value of investments may be subject to fluctuations and, under certain circumstances, investors may not get back the full amount invested. Changes in foreign-exchange rates may also cause the value of investments to go up or down. 2. Specific information on investment funds 2.1. Target group of the sites The sites are intended exclusively for use by legal entities and natural persons having their registered office or residing in countries in which the investment funds or the related subfunds or share classes of SAM have been properly licensed or approved for public sale, offer or sale in accordance with the applicable local legislation. The information and services provided on the sites are not intended for sale to or use by legal entities or natural persons in legal jurisdictions or countries in which sale or use thereof would contravene local legislation or legal provisions, or in which business units forming part of SAM would be subject to registration requirements in such jurisdictions or countries. Legal entities or natural persons to which such prohibitions apply must not access or use the sites. Above all, SAM investment funds have NOT been licensed for marketing, offer or sale to the public in the United States in accordance with the US Investment Company Act of 1940 or the US Securities Act of 1933, or in the UK, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hong Kong or Israel in accordance with the laws in force in those countries. Therefore, particular importance is attached to ensuring that the sites are not intended for legal entities or natural persons who have their registered office or reside in the above designated countries, their territories or dependencies, or who, on account of their citizenship or similar status, are subject to the law of one of these countries. 2.2. Investment risks Every investor should be aware that shares in investment funds entail investment risks, including the possible loss of the invested capital. Past performance provides no guarantee and no indication of future performance. The price of an investment in a fund and the yield achieved there from fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares may be above or below the original acquisition price upon redemption. Due to continuing market volatility, the performance of the funds may be subject to extreme changes over the short term. Furthermore, investment funds investing mainly in emerging markets and/or in shares of small-capitalized companies and/or in high-interest-rate bonds are essentially subject to higher risks. In order to familiarize yourself with the respective risks, we advise you to read thoroughly the relevant fund prospectus. The funds may also invest in foreign currencies (as compared with the reference currency of the relevant fund). The added risk of exchange-rate fluctuations arises there from. 2.3. Additional information on non-registered investment funds On the following websites, information can be called up on certified public investment funds which are not for sale in Austria, among others. This data is purely for information purposes and does not constitute an offer to acquire financial instruments. The contents of this information has not been checked or approved by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA). Participation and/or investment opportunities which are described directly or indirectly here, or subscribed to, are not authorised for public sale in Austria and may not be offered, advertised or marketed in any other similar form. Investors in such funds may pursue alternative investment strategies and may include a considerably higher risk than the public sale of authorised funds. The investor must be prepared to lose a significant part or even the whole amount of the investment. Therefore, shares should be acquired only by those investors who are able, if necessary, to bear such risks. 2.4. Fund documents/legal information You should undertake an investment only after you have read carefully the latest edition of the sales prospectus and/or the fund agreement and/or the fund prospectus, the current annual and semi-annual reports, the articles of association (as far as they are applicable), as well as all other documents which may be required in accordance with local legislation and the legal provisions which apply in the legal jurisdictions in which the fund in question has been licensed and approved for marketing, offer or sale to the public. You can obtain all these documents free of charge from the following address: Switzerland: SAM Sustainable Asset Management AG Josefstrasse 218 8005 Zurich Switzerland Austria: Erste Bank der oesterreichischen Sparkassen AG Graben 21 1010 Wien Austria 3.

Zielgruppe der Sites Die Sites richten sich ausschliesslich an juristische und natürliche Personen mit Sitz oder Wohnsitz in Ländern, in denen die Anlagefonds bzw. die dazu gehörigen Teilfonds oder Anteilklassen von SAM zum öffentlichen Vertreiben, Anbieten oder Verkaufen gemäss der anwendbaren lokalen Gesetzgebung ordnungsgemäss zugelassen bzw. berechtigt sind. Die auf den Sites zur Verfügung gestellten Informationen und Dienste sind nicht zum Vertrieb an oder zur Verwendung durch natürlich oder juristische Personen in Rechtsordnungen oder Ländern bestimmt, in denen der Vertrieb oder die Nutzung gegen die lokale Gesetzgebung oder Vorschriften verstösst, oder in denen zur SAM gehörende Geschäftseinheiten Registrierungsanforderungen in dieser Rechtsordnung oder diesem Land unterworfen würden. Natürliche oder juristische Personen, für welche diese Verbote gelten, dürfen nicht auf diese Sites zugreifen beziehungsweise diese nicht nutzen. Die SAM Anlagefonds sind NICHT für den öffentlichen Vertrieb, das Angebot oder den Verkauf in Grossbritannien, Kanada, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hongkong oder Israel entsprechend den dort geltenden Gesetzen sowie NICHT in den Vereinigten Staaten für den öffentlichen Vertrieb, das Angebot oder den Verkauf zugelassen. Insbesondere sind die SAM Anlagefonds NICHT für den öffentlichen Vertrieb, das Angebot oder den Verkauf in den Vereinigten Staaten gemäss dem US-Investment Company Act von 1940 oder dem US-Securities Act von 1933 zugelassen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird grossen Wert darauf gelegt, dass diese Sites nicht an juristische oder natürliche Personen gerichtet sind, die ihren Sitz oder Wohnsitz in obenbezeichneten Ländern, deren Territorien oder abhängigen Gebieten haben oder die aufgrund ihrer Staatsbürgerschaft oder eines vergleichbaren Status dem Recht eines dieser Länder unterliegen. 2.2. Anlagerisiken Jeder Anleger muss sich bewusst sein, dass Anteile von Anlagefonds Risiken bergen, diese können bis zum möglichen Verlustes des eingesetzten Kapitals reichen. In der Vergangenheit erzielte Wert- oder Gewinnentwicklungen stellen weder eine Garantie noch einen Hinweis auf die zukünftige Wert- oder Gewinnentwicklung dar. Der Kurs einer Anlage in einen Fonds wie auch der daraus erwirtschaftete Ertrag schwanken, so dass die Anteile eines Anlegers bei einer Rücknahme über oder unter dem ursprünglichen Einstandspreis liegen können. Die Wertentwicklung eines Fonds kann aufgrund von ständigen Marktschwankungen kurzfristigen Veränderungen unterliegen. Darüber hinaus unterliegen Anlagefonds, die hauptsächlich in aufstrebende Märkte (sog. „Emerging Markets“) und/oder in Aktien niedrigkapitalisierter Unternehmen und/oder in hochverzinsliche Anleihen investieren, grundsätzlich höheren Risiken. Um sich über die jeweiligen Risiken genau zu informieren raten wir Ihnen die jeweiligen Fondprospekte genau zu lesen. Da die Fonds auch in ausländische Währungen (im Vergleich zur Referenzwährung des jeweiligen Fonds) investieren, kann sich daraus das zusätzliche Risiko von Wechselkursschwankungen ergeben. 2.3. Fondsunterlagen/Rechtlicher Hinweis Eine Anlage sollten Sie nur tätigen, nachdem Sie den letzten Verkaufsprospekt bzw. den Fondsvertrag bzw. Fondsprospekt, die aktuellen Jahres- und Halbjahresberichte, die Satzung (soweit zutreffend) sowie alle sonstigen Unterlagen, die gemäss lokaler Gesetzgebung und Vorschriften in den Rechtsordnungen, in denen der betreffende Fonds für den öffentlichen Vertrieb, das Angebot oder den Verkauf zugelassen bzw. berechtigt ist, erforderlich sein können, sorgfältig durchgelesen haben.
