Our beliefs: Why invest in Asian bonds? Fundamentals Global monetary conditions remain accommodative: US rate gradual lift-off, ECB and BoJ to adopt easing monetary support and negative interest rates Trade protectionism remains uncertain but Asian growth is not significantly dependent on external trade. Asia has traditional monetary and fiscal policy flexibility which it has implemented to mitigate lower global growth concerns. Asian governments expect stable growth with benign inflation in 2017 All 10 Asian countries are investment grade^. Asia sovereign credit rating to remain stable. 80% of Asian bond universe is rated investment grade. Asian high-yield bonds have lower historical default rates but higher recovery value Valuation Asian bonds currently offer attractive carry compared to those in the US and Europe, at similar investment-grade credit quality and lower duration. Compared to emerging markets, Asian bonds have lower historical volatility and better riskadjusted returns Sentiment Favourable demand and supply technicals to support Asian bonds ^Rated by at least two rating agencies, Standard and Poor s, Moody s or Fitch.

Parvest Bond Asia Ex Japan is a Sub-fund of the PARVEST UCITS V SICAV registered under Luxembourg law. INVESTMENT RISKS Investments in fixed income assets can involve fluctuations in prices due for instance to negative information about the issuer or market. Moreover, these fluctuations are often amplified in the short term. The investments are subject to market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investments in securities. The value of investments and the income they generate may go down as well as up and it is possible that investors will not recover the initial outlay. The value of an investment may be affected by interest rate fluctuations. Interest rates may be influenced by several element s or events, such as monetary policy, the discount rate, inflation, etc. The fund has significant exposure to a geographical region (Asia ex Japan), emerging markets and a limited number of securities and is likely to be subject to a higher than average volatility due to a high degree of concentration, greater uncertainty because less information is available, there is less liquidity, or due to greater sensitivity to changes in market conditions (social, political and economic conditions). Some emerging markets offer less security than the majority of international developed markets. For this reason, services for portfolio transactions, liquidation and conservation on behalf of funds invested in emerging markets may carry greater risk. 28
