3 Investment Regulations Relying on Article 9 of its Charter, Liberty Foundation for Vested Pension Benefits (the Foundation ) has adopted the following Investment Regulations: Art. 1 Purpose 1 Pursuant to statutory requirements, these Regulations set out the rules and principles to be observed in the management and investment of pension assets and regulate the organisation of asset management. The Foundation shall comply with these Regulations at all times. 2 These Regulations constitute binding guidelines for all natural and legal persons involved in the Foundation s asset management operations. 3 The financial interests of the client always take precedence. 4 These Regulations shall be reviewed at least once a year and adapted as necessary. Art. 2 General principles 1 The Foundation Board has the executive asset management responsibility and defines asset management targets and principles in accordance with statutory prescriptions. 2 The Foundation is responsible for the proper administration of the vested pension benefits in compliance with the BVG/ LPP, BVV2/OPP2, LFLP/FZG and FZV/OLP. It invests the vested pension benefits with financial intermediaries such as banks, securities brokers, fund managers or investment funds and ensures that the assets are managed only by asset managers which are subject to FINMA regulatory oversight. 3 The Foundation offers its own BVG/LPP-compliant investment products or those developed in collaboration with contractual partners. 4 The Foundation offers a choice of custodian banks and asset managers which it may change at any time for important reasons. 5 At their express request clients may manage their own assets. 6 The Foundation delegates the exercise of shareholder rights to the custodian bank. 7 The Foundation requires all partners entrusted with asset management mandates to deliver a written confirmation of compliance with ethics in asset management once a year. 8 Potential conflicts of interest are avoided by the systematic separation of executive and controlling functions. 9 Asset management and administration fees and charges shall be stipulated in the account opening documentation and/or Fee Schedule. Art. 3 Asset management principles 1 Liquidity: the Foundation shall at all times be capable of punctually disbursing promised benefits. 2 Security: in consultation with the Foundation, the consultant or the asset manager, the client decides on an investment strategy which is based on his risk check and risk profile and is consistent with his capacity and tolerance for risk. 3 Diversification: risk diversification rules shall be observed at all times and compliance shall be conclusively documented and demonstrated. 4 Investment risk/profitability: the client alone is responsible for the appreciation of the value of his investments. Investing in securities may, however, also produce losses. Therefore, the Foundation only recommends securities investments to clients with the relevant risk profile and a medium to longterm investment horizon. The Foundation assumes no liability for the risk profile submitted by the client. Art. 4 Investments in general 1 The Foundation Board shall ascertain that all investment options offered to the client are consistent with the investment guidelines stipulated in Article 71(1) BVG/LPP, Articles 49 to 58 BVV2/OPP2 and Articles 19 and 19a FZV/OLP. 2 Lending on a secured or unsecured basis to the Foundation, which qualifies as an employer within the meaning of Article 57 BVV2/OPP2, or to its employees is not allowed. 3 In the case of units or shares of collective investments, the debtor risk is the risk of the values underlying the collective investment and not of the domicile of the collective investment. 4 Relying on Article 50(4) BVV2/OPP2, the Foundation offers clients extended investment possibilities subject to Articles 5 to 7 of these Regulations.
4 5 Investments involving an obligation to make additional payments are not permitted. Investments in an individual property in accordance with Article 53(5) lit. c BVV2/OPP2 are excepted. Art. 5 Extended investments 1 The principles for extended investments shall be defined by the Foundation in agreement with the client, consultant or asset manager within the limits of the client s chosen investment strategy. 2 If a client avails himself of the extended investment possibilities in accordance with Article 4(4), the Foundation, consultant or asset manager shall make him aware of the specific risks inherent in the extended investments and shall provide advice and guidance. 3 In its financial statements prepared in accordance with Article 50(4) BVV2/OPP2, the Foundation shall evidence compliance with the security and risk diversification requirements under Article 50(1) to (3) BVV2/OPP2. Art. 6 Authorised extended investments The following extended investments are available, subject to compliance with diversification principles, provided that the client s investment strategy and capacity for risk has been established in writing and secured, and that an agreement has been concluded between the Foundation and the consultant or asset manager: 1 Investments in foreign currency claims: Investments are allowed in euros, US dollars, British pounds, Canadian dollars or Australian dollars if the client is relocating abroad, the assets are held in cash on an account or invested in gilt-edged fixed-rate claims or investment funds with fixedrate claims and the debtor has at least an average A-rating from a recognised rating agency or if the assets are managed by an asset manager subject to FINMA regulatory oversight. At the time of the currency transaction, the assets must be transferred in the currency of the country where the client is establishing his residence. If that country has an exotic currency, the pension assets must be converted into one of the above-listed currencies. 2 Investments in diversified foreign currencies: up to max. 30 % per currency in all readily marketable currencies. 3 Equity investments (shares, similar securities and other participations). 4 Real estate investments: investment in real estate is restricted to collective investment funds or listed investment companies with a regularly calculated market value (NAV, net asset value, stock exchange price). Investments in listed investment companies may not exceed 5 % of a client s assets. 5 Alternative investments without additional payment obligations: alternative investments include hedge funds, futures funds, commodities, private equity placements, insurance-linked securities, senior secured loans, Coco Bonds, asset-backed securities (ABS), collateralized debt obligations (CDO), synthetic products based on Credit Default Swaps or Infrastructure projects. Alternative investments are restricted to collective investment funds or listed investment companies with a regularly calculated market value (NAV, net asset value, stock exchange price). Undiversified collective investments (e.g. gold ETF) and investments in listed investment companies may not exceed 5 % of a client s assets. Art. 7 Extended investment limits per category For the individual categories of extended investments contemplated in Article 6, the following limits apply in respect of the available pension assets: 1 nvestments in foreign currency claims: 80 % 2 Investments in diversified 60 %, foreign currencies: max. 30 % per foreign currency 3 Investments in equities, shares similar securities and other 60 %, participations): max. 5 % per company 4 Investments in real estate, of which max. one third abroad: 50 % 5 Alternative investments: Non-diversified investments may not exceed 5 % per fund or collective investment 20 % Art. 8 Qualification criteria for asset managers, consultants and intermediaries as contractual partners 1 To qualify for an asset management contract, asset managers must be financial intermediaries (i.e. banks, securities brokers, fund managers or KAG asset managers) under FINMA regulatory oversight. 2 Contractual partners acting only as consultants or intermediaries shall be members of a FINMA-approved SRO (self-regulatory organisation) or be subject to FINMA direct oversight in the framework of the MLA (Money-Laundering Act). The list of approved SROs is published on the FINMA homepage ( FINMA recognises the following SROs in particular: a. Verband Schweizerischer Vermögensverwalter (VSV) b. Verein zur Qualitätssicherung von Finanzdienstleistungen (VQF) c. Association romande des intermédiaires financiers (ARIF) d. Allg. Selbstregulierungs-Verein (SRO PolyReg) e. Organismo di Autodisciplina dei Fiduciari del Cantone Ticino (OAD FCT) f. SRO des Schweizerischen Anwalts- und Notarenverbandes (SRO SAV/SNV)
5 3 The contractual partner must in any event send the following documents with the agreement: a. Proof of membership in an SRO (self-regulating body) or FINMA authorisation. 4 Applications for exceptions must be submitted in writing and approved by the Foundation Board. Art. 9 Accounting principles Cash, time deposits and claims are stated at nominal values; all other investments are stated at market value. Exceptions are subject to Foundation Board approval. published elsewhere. The proceeds from the sale of securities are credited to the client s corresponding account. 5 Stock orders are executed subject to cantonal bank holidays at the main office of the Foundation and the custodian banks, and to the trading days and trading hours on the relevant stock markets. Unless otherwise stated, orders are executed atbest. The Foundation declines any liability whatsoever for orders executed belatedly or not at all. The Foundation shall endeavour to apply order processing rules as well as possible, particularly in the case of investment stops. This is not a binding commitment to provide service, nor shall it constitute grounds for any contractual or extra-contractual claim. Art. 10 Responsibilities and powers 1 For assets under individual asset management, the Foundation verifies that clients communicate their investment strategy, any changes therein and the subsequent stock orders in writing. 2 If investment limits are overstepped, the executive management of the Foundation may correct the client s investments. Art. 11 Choice of investments and investment strategy 1 Clients whose pension assets are individually managed shall be required to submit their investment strategy and any changes in their investment strategy in writing. 2 Based on each client s individual capacity for risk, the Foundation or a consultant authorized by the Foundation decides if the proposed investments or changes can be fully executed. 3 For assets managed individually, the Foundation keeps an individual deposit and account for each client with the relevant custodian bank. 4 If an asset manager asks to have a collective account and securities deposit for several clients with a custodian bank, the clients individual accounts and securities deposits will be held with the Foundation. Art. 12 Stock orders 1 Orders for the purchase or sale of securities shall always be given in writing. 2 Securities cannot be bought before the vested pension benefit has been conclusively received (after receipt of the complete documentation) and allocated to the client. 3 The balance on the client s account must always be sufficient to cover the fees and charges debited to the account. 4 Securities purchased will be charged to the relevant account and credited to the client s vested benefit security deposit. Execution prices are determined by the custodian banks on the relevant stock exchanges or in accordance with the NAV Art. 13 Asset manager selection procedure 1 The client shall sign an authority empowering the asset manager in respect of the Foundation. 2 The Foundation shall sign a corresponding authority empowering the asset manager in respect of the custodian bank chosen by the client. 3 The asset manager issues stock orders directly to the custodian bank. 4 The balance on the client s account must always be sufficient to cover the fees and charges debited to the account. 5 In the case of aggregated orders (e.g. stock orders for several clients whose assets are managed by the same asset manager), the allocation to the individual accounts must imperatively be sent to the Foundation, by fax or , simultaneously with the stock order. Statements are prepared by the Foundation and sent to the asset manager by post. Art. 14 Changes in strategy 1 In the framework of the proposed securities solutions, the investment strategy may be changed at any time with the Foundation s consent. In that case, the consultant or asset manager shall check and take into account the client s personal risk check, risk profile and investment strategy and communicate them to the Foundation. 2 For securities solutions, changes in investment strategy must be notified to the Foundation in writing on the relevant form. 3 The desired change in strategy will be implemented once the written notification is received. 4 Switching from a securities solution to an account solution is possible at any time; in that case, the Foundation executes the corresponding instructions in a timely manner after receiving the written order. Art. 15 Reporting and controlling 1 The Foundation shall inform clients at least once a year about the status of their pension assets.
6 2 On behalf of the Foundation Board, the executive management ensures that the investment strategies agreed with the client are respected and that the corresponding investment limits are periodically checked. Moreover, the Foundation regularly reviews the performance, in terms of results, costs and quality of service, of the persons and institutions entrusted with asset management mandates. 3 The Foundation decides on the price, rate and NAV providers (e.g. Telekurs, Fides, Market Map or other) for evaluating securities deposits and for the BVV2/OPP2 evaluation of the client s portfolio. Art. 16 External partners The fee schedules of the Foundation s external partners (e.g. banks, investment funds, etc.) are applicable with regard to securities transactions, fees and commissions. Art. 17 Ethics in asset management 1 Basic principle: The persons and bodies involved in asset management operations shall comply with the provisions of Federal Law concerning ethics in asset management (Articles 48f to 49a BVV2/ OPP2). 2 Rules of conduct: The internal and external agents of the Foundation shall satisfy the following requirements and rules of conduct: a. They shall have the necessary skills, qualifications, professional background and reputation to execute the tasks assigned to them in the client s best interest. b. Legal transactions with related parties are admissible when they serve the interests of all clients. Relatedparty transactions shall be approved individually by the Foundation Board and shall be submitted to the auditor with the annual accounts. c. In the case of substantial relatedparty transactions, the Foundation Board shall request at least two competing offers and shall ensure that the offers are appraised objectively and transparently. The decisionmaking process shall be documented so as to ensure full verification by the auditor during the annual audit. The decision shall be made in the interest of all clients. d. All principal transactions involving the same securities and exploiting insider information about Foundation transactions for one s personal advantage and enrichment are strictly prohibited. This includes front running, parallel running and after running. e. All pecuniary benefits shall be surrendered to the Foundation. Small gifts not exceeding a total value of CHF 2,000 per year are excepted. f. All persons and entities involved in the Foundation s asset management operations (in particular asset managers, investment consultants, custodian banks and brokers) shall confirm in writing once a year that in the scope of their activities on behalf of the Foundation they have not received any additional pecuniary benefits other than the fees specified by written agreement or, alternatively, that any pecuniary benefits received by them have been fully surrendered to the Foundation. Additional pecuniary benefits include any sources of revenue which would disappear if the mandate relationship were terminated. g. All private business ties and interests shall be disclosed to the Foundation Board. Moreover, the internal bodies shall allow the Foundation Board to inspect their financial situation. The bodies are strictly bound by an obligation of confidentiality. h. All involved persons and institutions are strictly bound to secrecy with regard to all confidential information acquired by them in the scope of their activities for the Foundation. Art. 18 Omissions If there are any omissions in these Regulations on any specific point, the Foundation Board shall adopt an appropriate rule.
