Lyxor ETF Yield protectors Knowing your risk It is important for potential investors to evaluate the risks described below and in the fund prospectus on our website www.lyxoretf.com Capital at risk ETFs are tracking instruments: Their risk profile is similar to a direct investment in the Underlying index. Investors capital is fully at risk and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Replication risk The fund objectives might not be reached due to unexpected events on the underlying markets which will impact the index calculation and the efficient fund replication. Counterparty risk Investors are exposed to risks resulting from the use of an OTC swap with Société Générale. In-line with UCITs guidelines, the exposure to Société Générale cannot exceed 10% of the total fund assets. Physically replicated ETFs may have counterparty risk resulting from the use of a securities lending programme. Concentration risk Smart Beta ETFs select stocks or bonds for their portfolio from the original benchmark index. Where selection rules are extensive it can lead to a more concentrated portfolio where risk is spread over fewer stocks than the original benchmark. Underlying risk The Underlying index of a Lyxor ETF may be complex and volatile. When investing in commodities, the Underlying index is calculated with reference to commodity futures contracts exposing the investor to a liquidity risk linked to costs such as cost of carry and transportation. ETFs exposed to Emerging Markets carry a greater risk of potential loss than investment in Developed Markets as they are exposed to a wide range of unpredictable Emerging Market risks. Currency risk ETFs may be exposed to currency risk if the ETF is denominated in a currency different to that of the Underlying index they are tracking. This means that exchange rate fluctuations could have a negative or positive effect on returns. Liquidity risk Liquidity is provided by registered market-makers on the respective stock exchange where the ETF is listed, including Société Générale. On exchange, liquidity may be limited as a result of a suspension in the underlying market represented by the Underlying index tracked by the ETF; a failure in the systems of one of the relevant stock exchanges, or other market-maker systems; or an abnormal trading situation or event.
