Please refer to the prospectus for the exact scope of the guarantee. Performance Performance (in EUR) (in %) Fund Management's Comment The global equity markets trended upwards in April. This was due to good quarterly results for many companies and the positive effects of US tax reform. During the month, the DAX reached its highest level since the beginning of February. A rise in the oil price and higher inflation expectations led to rising yields on the bond markets. The associated interest rate concerns again exerted some pressure on the equity markets at the end of April. Below is an overview of selected indices: MSCI World Index (USD): 1%, MSCI World Index (EUR): 2.6%, EuroStoxx 50 Index: 5.8%, S&P 500 Index (USD): 0.3%, Nikkei 225 Index (JPY): 6.2%, Bloomberg Commodity TR Index (EUR): 4.2%. The current yield on 9-10 year German government bonds rose from 0.4% to 0.5%. During the month, the portion of risky investments was increased to around 41%.

Due to its composition/the techniques used by the Fund management, the investment fund has elevated volatility, i.e. the share price may be subject to significant fluctuations up or down within short periods of time. The share value may fall below the purchase price at which the customer acquired the share at any time. Important note on the investor profile: Investor profile: Growth-oriented The sub-fund is designed for growth-oriented investors who wish to achieve capital appreciation primarily through equity gains and exchange rate movements. Expected earnings are offset by high equity, interest rate and currency risks as well as creditworthiness risks and the possibility of heavy losses of the invested capital, up to the total amount invested. The investor is willing and able to bear such a financial loss, and does not prioritize capital preservation. The Company provides additional information relating to the profile of the typical investor or target customer group for this financial product to distribution agents and distribution partners.

In periods in which the market declines for an extended period or in very volatile periods, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in bond/money-market funds or via direct investment in bonds or money-market instruments. Please refer to the prospectus for the exact scope of the guarantee. Fund Management's Comment The global equity markets have been improving again since the end of March. This development was supported by high earnings expectations for the first quarter of 2018 and the positive effects of US tax reform. During the month, the DAX reached its highest level since the beginning of February. In the bond markets, an increase in oil prices and higher inflation expectations led to rising yields. The associated interest rate concerns exerted pressure on the equity markets, especially on the US market, at the end of April. Given the recent low interest rates, the equity portion had to be given up completely at the end of September 2012. This means that the Fund remains fully invested in the capital components in order to ensure the guarantee at maturity.
