Luxemburg, October 27, 2017 Information to the Shareholders of Credit Suisse (Lux) SystematicReturn Fund USD CS Investment Funds 4 Investment Company with Variable Capital under Luxembourg Law 5, rue Jean Monnet, L-2180 Luxembourg R.C.S. Luxembourg B-134.528 (the Company ) 1. Notice is hereby given to the Shareholders of Credit Suisse (Lux) SystematicReturn Fund USD (the Subfund ) that the Board of Directors of the Company has decided to restructure the Subfund. Currently, the Subfund s investment strategy consists of a discretionary combination of systematic strategies which can be categorized into carry or income generating strategies and trend following strategies. The Board of Directors has decided that the investment strategy used for the Subfund will be the trend following strategy only and not carry or income generating. In the context of the above mentioned restructuring, the following changes will be made to the special section of the prospectus relating to the Subfund: a) Amendments to the sections Investment Strategy and Investment Principles to reflect the above restructuring. The comparison of the investment strategy is further detailed in the below table: Old Investment Strategy The Subfund s investment strategy consists of a discretionary combination of systematic strategies which aim to benefit from structural return sources (i.e., Risk Premia, as further defined below) and market movements. More specifically, the Subfund s investment strategy focuses on systematically monetizing return sources (Risk Premia) across various asset classes with the help of advanced investment methodologies resulting in a highly diversified portfolio. A risk premium ( Risk Premium or plural, Risk Premia ) is the premium generated by investing in specific assets or strategies as compensation for the risk taken by the investor. The premium is the excess return that is generated by the assets or strategies above the return that is generated by investing in a risk-free investment such as shortterm government bonds. The Subfund s investment strategy relies on systematic analysis and combination of sources of Risk Premia in order to establish the optimal riskadjusted exposure in a broad selection of markets and across multiple asset classes. The main systematic strategies that the Subfund will implement can be categorized into carry or income generating strategies and trend following strategies. Carry or income generating strategies have the objective of extracting risk premia in financial markets. These include (but are not limited to, where prospective investors should note that the Subfund s portfolio may include some but not all of the systematic strategies described below at any time and may include other systematic strategies than those described below): In equity markets, for example covered call or put writing strategies, combinations of variance swaps, a quantitative strategy of buying target shares in Merger&Acquisition deals versus the New Investment Strategy The Subfund s investment strategy consists of a discretionary combination of systematic strategies which aim to benefit from structural return sources (i.e., Risk Premia, as further defined below) and market movements. More specifically, the Subfund s investment strategy focuses on systematically monetizing return sources (Risk Premia) across various asset classes with the help of advanced investment methodologies resulting in a highly diversified portfolio. A risk premium ( Risk Premium or plural, Risk Premia ) is the premium generated by investing in specific assets or strategies as compensation for the risk taken by the investor. The premium is the excess return that is generated by the assets or strategies above the return that is generated by investing in a risk-free investment such as shortterm government bonds. The Subfund s investment strategy relies on systematic analysis and combination of sources of Risk Premia in order to establish the optimal riskadjusted exposure in a broad selection of markets and across multiple asset classes. The Subfund will implement trend following strategies having the objective of tracking the performance of financial markets based on trend signals. The trend signal can be calculated on macroeconomic and market specific indicators or filters which are determined on a frequent basis. After the investment manager has analyzed the indicators and comes to the conclusion that the trend signal is positive (negative), the investment manager will take a positive (negative) position in that component. Examples of markets where trend following strategies could be applied are equity, fixed income, money market, foreign exchange, commodity markets, implemented by liquid exchange traded futures.

benchmark, strategy of gaining exposure to value stocks versus growth stocks, small cap stocks versus large cap stocks, high dividend versus low dividend stocks, etc. In fixed income and credit markets, for example buying and selling rates futures (e.g., Euribor vs. Eurodollar futures), buying high yield versus selling investment grade bond indices, buying convertible bond optionality versus exchange traded options on the same company, strategy of buying and selling different parts of the yield curve of G7 countries, etc. In foreign exchange, for example buying high yielding currencies versus low yielding currencies to benefit from interest rate differentials, monetizing the implied versus realized volatility spread of currencies, etc. In commodities, for example buying pre-roll commodity indices versus diversified commodity benchmark index, buying deferred commodity indices versus diversified commodity benchmark index, backwardated commodity indices versus diversified commodity benchmark index, etc. Investment Principles The Subfund mainly invests, under the terms of Article 41(1) of the Law of December 17, 2010 and in accordance with the principle of risk diversification and irrespective of the reference currency of the investments, in the below mentioned investment instruments and subject to the quantitative investment limitations specified below.
