A comment from The Economist on what can be expected during the important climate meeting in Paris 2015

The meeting is being held as a follow-up on the failed climate talks in Copenhagen 2009 There are hopes

that an agreement (like the one in Kyoto 1997) could be made The climate agreement in November between

China and the US ndash the worldrsquos two largest polluters ndash should hardly have worsened the odds for Parishellip

The Swedish business paper Dagens Industri pay attention to

climate and environmental funds because of their strong

performance over the past year More on the subject together with

Financial Times published an award-winning article series on

water shortages which has become a global problem The series

Performance The fund and indices

Environmental investments have generally performed well over the past year which has also been the case

for MSCI World the latter driven by a strengthening US dollar as well as a strong performance for the US

stock market

The renewable energy index (Wilderhill New Energy Index) the most volatile sector in the comparison had

a solid start of the year but fell back along with the oil price Also the Cleantech index was curbed due to the

oil price decline while the water index is fairly uncorrelated with the oil price Read more about the oil price

on page 8

CB Save Earth Fund was +11 for the year The fund has since inception in June 2008 performed better

than two out of the three sectors it invests in At the same time the risk for CB Save Earth Fund has been

significantly lower than the risk in each of the three sectors as well as the MSCI World index

Our objective is for the fund to offer a green and global exposure and to be a competitive alternative

compared to other global funds Over the last three years CB Save Earth Fund has stood up well especially

when looking at the risk-adjusted return (Sharpe ratio) compared to the global strategies of the most

recognized names in the Nordic market

Going forward we believe that green investments can offer a window of growth and thus a better return than

the global stock market Compare with emerging markets during the 2003-2007 period

The oil price fell by 46 in USD during 2014 which had a big impact on many markets in particular the ones directly

exposed (ie energy marketscompanies)

A falling oil price is first and foremost negative for oil companies but also companies in renewable energy is exposed due to

the decreasing incentives for substitution that comes with a lower oil price We still believe in a strong long-term case for

renewable energy but we are cautious short term

Our analysis show that the renewable energy sector historically has been hit hardest by a falling oil price followed by

cleantech The water sector on the other hand has consistently performed very well in relative terms See the below table

The unconstrained allocation mandate (between the sectors cleantech water and renewable energy) for CB Save Earth

Fund allowed us to significantly reduce the exposure towards renewable energy already in October in favor of water and

cleantech The oil price has since then fallen more than 40 Today renewable energy represent 1 of invested assets

compared to 72 for water and 20 for the cleantech sector See the current and historical allocation on page 11

Save Earth Fund Analysis Active allocation

The returns differ significantly between the three sectors active allocation matters

MSCI World is practically never the best performer every year (with narrow exceptions in 2011 and 2014) a green sector

has given a greater return why the prospects for active allocation are good

Renewable energy as a high-Beta sector has very volatile returns 2007 and 2013 were stellar years for the sector while

2008 2010 and 2011 were lousy Cleantech has a somewhat similar return profile but without the extremes

Over the past 10 years the water sector has performed better or in line with the world index which is why we argue that the

sector is an appropriate base in our portfolio ndash to which cleantech and renewable energy is added as compliments

has happened

In the crystal ball ndash

whatrsquos next

C B SAVE EAR T H FU N D

bull The fund returned +3 in EUR during the fourth quarter which was better than two of the three sectors that the

fund invests in The full year performance 2014 was +11

bull The oil price fell by 42 in the last quarter of 2014 which have had a negative effect on the renewable energy

sector The unconstrained allocation mandate of the fund allowed us to significantly reduce our exposure towards

renewable energy in October in favor of water and cleantech today renewable energy represent 1 of the fundrsquos

assets compared to 72 for water and 20 for cleantech

bull The fund offers a low-risk alternative in a segment characterized by high risk Since inception in 2008 the funds

risk level (standard deviation) has been significantly lower than that of environmental indices and peers as well as

the MSCI World index The fund has also been competitive with other global funds during the last three years

bull The fundrsquos assets increased by 39 in 2014 to EUR 157 million

bull We still believe in renewable energy as a long-term investment now that the sector has entered a phase with lower

subsidy dependence We are however cautious short term due to the falling oil price which reduces the

incentives for substitution

bull The water sector ndash the fundrsquos largest exposure (72) ndash continues to perform in line with or better than the world

index eg due to the fact that there is no substitution for water which suggests that this trend may continue for

years to come The sector resembles traditional sectors such as healthcare and consumer staples both in terms of

structural growth drivers and investment return

bull The portfolio is exposed to high-yielding utilities and growth companies The expected profit growth for the

underlying companies is attractive at +15 for 2015 compared to +8 for MSCI World

bull We find the offering of a competitive global equity exposure without fossil energy increasingly interesting ndash with

holdings in structural growth sectors in a world that may face a prolonged period of weak growth The fund also

offers an opportunity for a yearly dividend of 6 a low management fee and daily liquidity

Appendix Multi-Manager

Source Wikipedia

C B SAVE EAR T H FU N D

Every asset manager has a certain skill one can be a specialist in Swedish Large Caps another in Emerging Market

high-yield debt To be an expert in every field is hard if not impossible and generally the complexity increases when

analysing lesser developed markets sectors or companies Our ambition is to identify the managers that over time

have performed best-in-class in each region andor sector in order to deliver the best possible overall performance

To make a simple illustration of this point we have made a comparison between the personal best marks of

Carolina Kluumlft (successful Swedish heptathlon athlete) and the gold medallists performance in each individual event

in the 2012 London Olympics

Carolinarsquos performances are of course astonishingly good but can in no single event match that of the specialist

Multi-manager or Fund of Funds is in others words a method of identifying and selecting specialists with the

ambition to deliver a consistently higher return the whole is greater than the sum of the parts

Appendix Environmental strategies as an asset class C B SAVE EAR T H FU N D

- The basic idea of a so called CoreSatellite strategy is to invest a large part of the portfolio in large caps with a

similar riskreturn profile as the broad market (eg MSCI World) and to add smaller positions (10-20 of the

portfolio) in niche strategies so called satellites with a different riskreturn profile

- We argue that environmental strategies in the form of global stocks with strong long-term drivers and an

attractive and different riskreturn profile have the right characteristics to fit well in this type of strategy as a

satellitecomplement to the core in a global portfolio Compare for example with the characteristics of emerging

markets

- The renewable energy index (NEXEUT) and the cleantech index (CTIUS) has clearly differing risk profiles compared to the

broad developed market indices (MSCI Europe MSCI World and MSCI USA)

- The water index (SampP Global Water Index) however has a risk profile in line with the broad developed markets Seen

from that perspective it can be argued that the sector is part of the core rather than the satellites

whatrsquos next

C B SAVE EAR T H FU N D

bull The fund returned +3 in EUR during the fourth quarter which was better than two of the three sectors that the

fund invests in The full year performance 2014 was +11

bull The oil price fell by 42 in the last quarter of 2014 which have had a negative effect on the renewable energy

sector The unconstrained allocation mandate of the fund allowed us to significantly reduce our exposure towards

renewable energy in October in favor of water and cleantech today renewable energy represent 1 of the fundrsquos

assets compared to 72 for water and 20 for cleantech

bull The fund offers a low-risk alternative in a segment characterized by high risk Since inception in 2008 the funds

risk level (standard deviation) has been significantly lower than that of environmental indices and peers as well as

the MSCI World index The fund has also been competitive with other global funds during the last three years

bull The fundrsquos assets increased by 39 in 2014 to EUR 157 million

bull We still believe in renewable energy as a long-term investment now that the sector has entered a phase with lower

subsidy dependence We are however cautious short term due to the falling oil price which reduces the

incentives for substitution

bull The water sector ndash the fundrsquos largest exposure (72) ndash continues to perform in line with or better than the world

index eg due to the fact that there is no substitution for water which suggests that this trend may continue for

years to come The sector resembles traditional sectors such as healthcare and consumer staples both in terms of

structural growth drivers and investment return

bull The portfolio is exposed to high-yielding utilities and growth companies The expected profit growth for the

underlying companies is attractive at +15 for 2015 compared to +8 for MSCI World

bull We find the offering of a competitive global equity exposure without fossil energy increasingly interesting ndash with

holdings in structural growth sectors in a world that may face a prolonged period of weak growth The fund also

offers an opportunity for a yearly dividend of 6 a low management fee and daily liquidity

Every asset manager has a certain skill one can be a specialist in Swedish Large Caps another in Emerging Market

high-yield debt To be an expert in every field is hard if not impossible and generally the complexity increases when

analysing lesser developed markets sectors or companies Our ambition is to identify the managers that over time

have performed best-in-class in each region andor sector in order to deliver the best possible overall performance

To make a simple illustration of this point we have made a comparison between the personal best marks of

Carolina Kluumlft (successful Swedish heptathlon athlete) and the gold medallists performance in each individual event

in the 2012 London Olympics

Carolinarsquos performances are of course astonishingly good but can in no single event match that of the specialist

Multi-manager or Fund of Funds is in others words a method of identifying and selecting specialists with the

ambition to deliver a consistently higher return the whole is greater than the sum of the parts

Appendix Environmental strategies as an asset class C B SAVE EAR T H FU N D

- The basic idea of a so called CoreSatellite strategy is to invest a large part of the portfolio in large caps with a

similar riskreturn profile as the broad market (eg MSCI World) and to add smaller positions (10-20 of the

portfolio) in niche strategies so called satellites with a different riskreturn profile

- We argue that environmental strategies in the form of global stocks with strong long-term drivers and an

attractive and different riskreturn profile have the right characteristics to fit well in this type of strategy as a

satellitecomplement to the core in a global portfolio Compare for example with the characteristics of emerging

markets

Environmental investments have generally performed well over the past year which has also been the case

for MSCI World the latter driven by a strengthening US dollar as well as a strong performance for the US

stock market

The renewable energy index (Wilderhill New Energy Index) the most volatile sector in the comparison had

a solid start of the year but fell back along with the oil price Also the Cleantech index was curbed due to the

oil price decline while the water index is fairly uncorrelated with the oil price Read more about the oil price

The oil price fell by 46 in USD during 2014 which had a big impact on many markets in particular the ones directly

exposed (ie energy marketscompanies)

A falling oil price is first and foremost negative for oil companies but also companies in renewable energy is exposed due to

the decreasing incentives for substitution that comes with a lower oil price We still believe in a strong long-term case for

renewable energy but we are cautious short term

Our analysis show that the renewable energy sector historically has been hit hardest by a falling oil price followed by

cleantech The water sector on the other hand has consistently performed very well in relative terms See the below table

The unconstrained allocation mandate (between the sectors cleantech water and renewable energy) for CB Save Earth

Fund allowed us to significantly reduce the exposure towards renewable energy already in October in favor of water and

cleantech The oil price has since then fallen more than 40 Today renewable energy represent 1 of invested assets

compared to 72 for water and 20 for the cleantech sector See the current and historical allocation on page 11

Analysis Implications of a falling oil price C B SAVE EAR T H FU N D

Save Earth Fund Analysis Active allocation

The returns differ significantly between the three sectors active allocation matters

MSCI World is practically never the best performer every year (with narrow exceptions in 2011 and 2014) a green sector

has given a greater return why the prospects for active allocation are good

Renewable energy as a high-Beta sector has very volatile returns 2007 and 2013 were stellar years for the sector while

2008 2010 and 2011 were lousy Cleantech has a somewhat similar return profile but without the extremes

Over the past 10 years the water sector has performed better or in line with the world index which is why we argue that the

sector is an appropriate base in our portfolio ndash to which cleantech and renewable energy is added as compliments

The oil price fell by 46 in USD during 2014 which had a big impact on many markets in particular the ones directly

exposed (ie energy marketscompanies)

A falling oil price is first and foremost negative for oil companies but also companies in renewable energy is exposed due to

the decreasing incentives for substitution that comes with a lower oil price We still believe in a strong long-term case for

renewable energy but we are cautious short term

Our analysis show that the renewable energy sector historically has been hit hardest by a falling oil price followed by

cleantech The water sector on the other hand has consistently performed very well in relative terms See the below table

The unconstrained allocation mandate (between the sectors cleantech water and renewable energy) for CB Save Earth

Fund allowed us to significantly reduce the exposure towards renewable energy already in October in favor of water and

cleantech The oil price has since then fallen more than 40 Today renewable energy represent 1 of invested assets

compared to 72 for water and 20 for the cleantech sector See the current and historical allocation on page 11

Save Earth Fund Analysis Active allocation

The returns differ significantly between the three sectors active allocation matters

MSCI World is practically never the best performer every year (with narrow exceptions in 2011 and 2014) a green sector

has given a greater return why the prospects for active allocation are good

Renewable energy as a high-Beta sector has very volatile returns 2007 and 2013 were stellar years for the sector while

2008 2010 and 2011 were lousy Cleantech has a somewhat similar return profile but without the extremes

Over the past 10 years the water sector has performed better or in line with the world index which is why we argue that the

sector is an appropriate base in our portfolio ndash to which cleantech and renewable energy is added as compliments

Every asset manager has a certain skill one can be a specialist in Swedish Large Caps another in Emerging Market

high-yield debt To be an expert in every field is hard if not impossible and generally the complexity increases when

analysing lesser developed markets sectors or companies Our ambition is to identify the managers that over time

have performed best-in-class in each region andor sector in order to deliver the best possible overall performance

To make a simple illustration of this point we have made a comparison between the personal best marks of

Carolina Kluumlft (successful Swedish heptathlon athlete) and the gold medallists performance in each individual event

in the 2012 London Olympics

Carolinarsquos performances are of course astonishingly good but can in no single event match that of the specialist

similar riskreturn profile as the broad market (eg MSCI World) and to add smaller positions (10-20 of the

Performance The fund and indices

Environmental investments have generally performed well over the past year which has also been the case

for MSCI World the latter driven by a strengthening US dollar as well as a strong performance for the US

stock market

The renewable energy index (Wilderhill New Energy Index) the most volatile sector in the comparison had

a solid start of the year but fell back along with the oil price Also the Cleantech index was curbed due to the

oil price decline while the water index is fairly uncorrelated with the oil price Read more about the oil price

on page 8

CB Save Earth Fund was +11 for the year The fund has since inception in June 2008 performed better

than two out of the three sectors it invests in At the same time the risk for CB Save Earth Fund has been

when looking at the risk-adjusted return (Sharpe ratio) compared to the global strategies of the most

recognized names in the Nordic market

Going forward we believe that green investments can offer a window of growth and thus a better return than

the global stock market Compare with emerging markets during the 2003-2007 period

The oil price fell by 46 in USD during 2014 which had a big impact on many markets in particular the ones directly

exposed (ie energy marketscompanies)

A falling oil price is first and foremost negative for oil companies but also companies in renewable energy is exposed due to

the decreasing incentives for substitution that comes with a lower oil price We still believe in a strong long-term case for

renewable energy but we are cautious short term

Our analysis show that the renewable energy sector historically has been hit hardest by a falling oil price followed by

cleantech The water sector on the other hand has consistently performed very well in relative terms See the below table

The unconstrained allocation mandate (between the sectors cleantech water and renewable energy) for CB Save Earth

Fund allowed us to significantly reduce the exposure towards renewable energy already in October in favor of water and

cleantech The oil price has since then fallen more than 40 Today renewable energy represent 1 of invested assets

compared to 72 for water and 20 for the cleantech sector See the current and historical allocation on page 11

Save Earth Fund Analysis Active allocation

The returns differ significantly between the three sectors active allocation matters

MSCI World is practically never the best performer every year (with narrow exceptions in 2011 and 2014) a green sector

has given a greater return why the prospects for active allocation are good

Renewable energy as a high-Beta sector has very volatile returns 2007 and 2013 were stellar years for the sector while

2008 2010 and 2011 were lousy Cleantech has a somewhat similar return profile but without the extremes

Over the past 10 years the water sector has performed better or in line with the world index which is why we argue that the

sector is an appropriate base in our portfolio ndash to which cleantech and renewable energy is added as compliments

C B SAVE EAR T H FU N D

bull The fund returned +3 in EUR during the fourth quarter which was better than two of the three sectors that the

fund invests in The full year performance 2014 was +11

bull The oil price fell by 42 in the last quarter of 2014 which have had a negative effect on the renewable energy

sector The unconstrained allocation mandate of the fund allowed us to significantly reduce our exposure towards

renewable energy in October in favor of water and cleantech today renewable energy represent 1 of the fundrsquos

assets compared to 72 for water and 20 for cleantech

bull The fund offers a low-risk alternative in a segment characterized by high risk Since inception in 2008 the funds

risk level (standard deviation) has been significantly lower than that of environmental indices and peers as well as

the MSCI World index The fund has also been competitive with other global funds during the last three years

bull The fundrsquos assets increased by 39 in 2014 to EUR 157 million

bull We still believe in renewable energy as a long-term investment now that the sector has entered a phase with lower

subsidy dependence We are however cautious short term due to the falling oil price which reduces the

incentives for substitution

bull The water sector ndash the fundrsquos largest exposure (72) ndash continues to perform in line with or better than the world

index eg due to the fact that there is no substitution for water which suggests that this trend may continue for

years to come The sector resembles traditional sectors such as healthcare and consumer staples both in terms of

structural growth drivers and investment return

bull The portfolio is exposed to high-yielding utilities and growth companies The expected profit growth for the

underlying companies is attractive at +15 for 2015 compared to +8 for MSCI World

bull We find the offering of a competitive global equity exposure without fossil energy increasingly interesting ndash with

holdings in structural growth sectors in a world that may face a prolonged period of weak growth The fund also

offers an opportunity for a yearly dividend of 6 a low management fee and daily liquidity

Every asset manager has a certain skill one can be a specialist in Swedish Large Caps another in Emerging Market

high-yield debt To be an expert in every field is hard if not impossible and generally the complexity increases when

analysing lesser developed markets sectors or companies Our ambition is to identify the managers that over time

have performed best-in-class in each region andor sector in order to deliver the best possible overall performance

To make a simple illustration of this point we have made a comparison between the personal best marks of

Carolina Kluumlft (successful Swedish heptathlon athlete) and the gold medallists performance in each individual event

in the 2012 London Olympics

Carolinarsquos performances are of course astonishingly good but can in no single event match that of the specialist

Multi-manager or Fund of Funds is in others words a method of identifying and selecting specialists with the

ambition to deliver a consistently higher return the whole is greater than the sum of the parts

- The basic idea of a so called CoreSatellite strategy is to invest a large part of the portfolio in large caps with a

similar riskreturn profile as the broad market (eg MSCI World) and to add smaller positions (10-20 of the

Save Earth Fund Analysis Active allocation

The returns differ significantly between the three sectors active allocation matters

MSCI World is practically never the best performer every year (with narrow exceptions in 2011 and 2014) a green sector

has given a greater return why the prospects for active allocation are good

Renewable energy as a high-Beta sector has very volatile returns 2007 and 2013 were stellar years for the sector while

2008 2010 and 2011 were lousy Cleantech has a somewhat similar return profile but without the extremes

Over the past 10 years the water sector has performed better or in line with the world index which is why we argue that the

sector is an appropriate base in our portfolio ndash to which cleantech and renewable energy is added as compliments

C B SAVE EAR T H FU N D

bull The fund returned +3 in EUR during the fourth quarter which was better than two of the three sectors that the

fund invests in The full year performance 2014 was +11

bull The oil price fell by 42 in the last quarter of 2014 which have had a negative effect on the renewable energy

sector The unconstrained allocation mandate of the fund allowed us to significantly reduce our exposure towards

renewable energy in October in favor of water and cleantech today renewable energy represent 1 of the fundrsquos

assets compared to 72 for water and 20 for cleantech

bull The fund offers a low-risk alternative in a segment characterized by high risk Since inception in 2008 the funds

risk level (standard deviation) has been significantly lower than that of environmental indices and peers as well as

the MSCI World index The fund has also been competitive with other global funds during the last three years

bull The fundrsquos assets increased by 39 in 2014 to EUR 157 million

bull We still believe in renewable energy as a long-term investment now that the sector has entered a phase with lower

subsidy dependence We are however cautious short term due to the falling oil price which reduces the

incentives for substitution

bull The water sector ndash the fundrsquos largest exposure (72) ndash continues to perform in line with or better than the world

index eg due to the fact that there is no substitution for water which suggests that this trend may continue for

years to come The sector resembles traditional sectors such as healthcare and consumer staples both in terms of

structural growth drivers and investment return

bull The portfolio is exposed to high-yielding utilities and growth companies The expected profit growth for the

underlying companies is attractive at +15 for 2015 compared to +8 for MSCI World

bull We find the offering of a competitive global equity exposure without fossil energy increasingly interesting ndash with

holdings in structural growth sectors in a world that may face a prolonged period of weak growth The fund also

offers an opportunity for a yearly dividend of 6 a low management fee and daily liquidity

Every asset manager has a certain skill one can be a specialist in Swedish Large Caps another in Emerging Market

high-yield debt To be an expert in every field is hard if not impossible and generally the complexity increases when

analysing lesser developed markets sectors or companies Our ambition is to identify the managers that over time

have performed best-in-class in each region andor sector in order to deliver the best possible overall performance

To make a simple illustration of this point we have made a comparison between the personal best marks of

Carolina Kluumlft (successful Swedish heptathlon athlete) and the gold medallists performance in each individual event

in the 2012 London Olympics

Carolinarsquos performances are of course astonishingly good but can in no single event match that of the specialist

Multi-manager or Fund of Funds is in others words a method of identifying and selecting specialists with the

ambition to deliver a consistently higher return the whole is greater than the sum of the parts

Appendix Environmental strategies as an asset class C B SAVE EAR T H FU N D

- The basic idea of a so called CoreSatellite strategy is to invest a large part of the portfolio in large caps with a

similar riskreturn profile as the broad market (eg MSCI World) and to add smaller positions (10-20 of the

portfolio) in niche strategies so called satellites with a different riskreturn profile

- We argue that environmental strategies in the form of global stocks with strong long-term drivers and an

attractive and different riskreturn profile have the right characteristics to fit well in this type of strategy as a

satellitecomplement to the core in a global portfolio Compare for example with the characteristics of emerging

markets

Every asset manager has a certain skill one can be a specialist in Swedish Large Caps another in Emerging Market

high-yield debt To be an expert in every field is hard if not impossible and generally the complexity increases when

analysing lesser developed markets sectors or companies Our ambition is to identify the managers that over time

have performed best-in-class in each region andor sector in order to deliver the best possible overall performance

To make a simple illustration of this point we have made a comparison between the personal best marks of

Carolina Kluumlft (successful Swedish heptathlon athlete) and the gold medallists performance in each individual event

in the 2012 London Olympics

Carolinarsquos performances are of course astonishingly good but can in no single event match that of the specialist

Multi-manager or Fund of Funds is in others words a method of identifying and selecting specialists with the

ambition to deliver a consistently higher return the whole is greater than the sum of the parts

- The basic idea of a so called CoreSatellite strategy is to invest a large part of the portfolio in large caps with a

similar riskreturn profile as the broad market (eg MSCI World) and to add smaller positions (10-20 of the

portfolio) in niche strategies so called satellites with a different riskreturn profile

- We argue that environmental strategies in the form of global stocks with strong long-term drivers and an

attractive and different riskreturn profile have the right characteristics to fit well in this type of strategy as a

satellitecomplement to the core in a global portfolio Compare for example with the characteristics of emerging

markets

C B SAVE EAR T H FU N D

bull The fund returned +3 in EUR during the fourth quarter which was better than two of the three sectors that the

fund invests in The full year performance 2014 was +11

bull The oil price fell by 42 in the last quarter of 2014 which have had a negative effect on the renewable energy

sector The unconstrained allocation mandate of the fund allowed us to significantly reduce our exposure towards

renewable energy in October in favor of water and cleantech today renewable energy represent 1 of the fundrsquos

assets compared to 72 for water and 20 for cleantech

bull The fund offers a low-risk alternative in a segment characterized by high risk Since inception in 2008 the funds

risk level (standard deviation) has been significantly lower than that of environmental indices and peers as well as

the MSCI World index The fund has also been competitive with other global funds during the last three years

bull The fundrsquos assets increased by 39 in 2014 to EUR 157 million

bull We still believe in renewable energy as a long-term investment now that the sector has entered a phase with lower

subsidy dependence We are however cautious short term due to the falling oil price which reduces the

incentives for substitution

bull The water sector ndash the fundrsquos largest exposure (72) ndash continues to perform in line with or better than the world

index eg due to the fact that there is no substitution for water which suggests that this trend may continue for

years to come The sector resembles traditional sectors such as healthcare and consumer staples both in terms of

structural growth drivers and investment return

bull The portfolio is exposed to high-yielding utilities and growth companies The expected profit growth for the

underlying companies is attractive at +15 for 2015 compared to +8 for MSCI World

bull We find the offering of a competitive global equity exposure without fossil energy increasingly interesting ndash with

holdings in structural growth sectors in a world that may face a prolonged period of weak growth The fund also

offers an opportunity for a yearly dividend of 6 a low management fee and daily liquidity

- The basic idea of a so called CoreSatellite strategy is to invest a large part of the portfolio in large caps with a

similar riskreturn profile as the broad market (eg MSCI World) and to add smaller positions (10-20 of the

portfolio) in niche strategies so called satellites with a different riskreturn profile

- We argue that environmental strategies in the form of global stocks with strong long-term drivers and an

attractive and different riskreturn profile have the right characteristics to fit well in this type of strategy as a

satellitecomplement to the core in a global portfolio Compare for example with the characteristics of emerging

markets

has happened

whatrsquos next

C B SAVE EAR T H FU N D

bull The fund returned +3 in EUR during the fourth quarter which was better than two of the three sectors that the

fund invests in The full year performance 2014 was +11

bull The oil price fell by 42 in the last quarter of 2014 which have had a negative effect on the renewable energy

sector The unconstrained allocation mandate of the fund allowed us to significantly reduce our exposure towards

renewable energy in October in favor of water and cleantech today renewable energy represent 1 of the fundrsquos

assets compared to 72 for water and 20 for cleantech

bull The fund offers a low-risk alternative in a segment characterized by high risk Since inception in 2008 the funds

risk level (standard deviation) has been significantly lower than that of environmental indices and peers as well as

the MSCI World index The fund has also been competitive with other global funds during the last three years

bull The fundrsquos assets increased by 39 in 2014 to EUR 157 million

bull We still believe in renewable energy as a long-term investment now that the sector has entered a phase with lower

subsidy dependence We are however cautious short term due to the falling oil price which reduces the

incentives for substitution

bull The water sector ndash the fundrsquos largest exposure (72) ndash continues to perform in line with or better than the world

index eg due to the fact that there is no substitution for water which suggests that this trend may continue for

years to come The sector resembles traditional sectors such as healthcare and consumer staples both in terms of

structural growth drivers and investment return

bull The portfolio is exposed to high-yielding utilities and growth companies The expected profit growth for the

underlying companies is attractive at +15 for 2015 compared to +8 for MSCI World

bull We find the offering of a competitive global equity exposure without fossil energy increasingly interesting ndash with

holdings in structural growth sectors in a world that may face a prolonged period of weak growth The fund also

offers an opportunity for a yearly dividend of 6 a low management fee and daily liquidity

Every asset manager has a certain skill one can be a specialist in Swedish Large Caps another in Emerging Market

high-yield debt To be an expert in every field is hard if not impossible and generally the complexity increases when

analysing lesser developed markets sectors or companies Our ambition is to identify the managers that over time

have performed best-in-class in each region andor sector in order to deliver the best possible overall performance

To make a simple illustration of this point we have made a comparison between the personal best marks of

Carolina Kluumlft (successful Swedish heptathlon athlete) and the gold medallists performance in each individual event

in the 2012 London Olympics

Carolinarsquos performances are of course astonishingly good but can in no single event match that of the specialist

Multi-manager or Fund of Funds is in others words a method of identifying and selecting specialists with the

ambition to deliver a consistently higher return the whole is greater than the sum of the parts

broad developed market indices (MSCI Europe MSCI World and MSCI USA)

- The water index (SampP Global Water Index) however has a risk profile in line with the broad developed markets Seen

from that perspective it can be argued that the sector is part of the core rather than the satellites

- The basic idea of a so called CoreSatellite strategy is to invest a large part of the portfolio in large caps with a

similar riskreturn profile as the broad market (eg MSCI World) and to add smaller positions (10-20 of the

portfolio) in niche strategies so called satellites with a different riskreturn profile

- We argue that environmental strategies in the form of global stocks with strong long-term drivers and an

attractive and different riskreturn profile have the right characteristics to fit well in this type of strategy as a

satellitecomplement to the core in a global portfolio Compare for example with the characteristics of emerging

markets
