INTRODUCING ABSOLUTE RISK FUNDS TARGETING A BAND OF VOLATILITY (6 APRIL 2012)

Funds aim to achieve highest return within defined risk bands
The five funds have differing levels of risk target. Note this ‘risk’ is how volatile the fund’s performance is by itself (‘absolute risk’) and not how
volatile it is compared to other funds (‘relative risk’). The Funds aim to remain within volatility bands on a rolling 3-year basis.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This document is intended for professional investors and experienced advisors only. The content is not approved for use with retail investors. The information provided in this document and any appendix is confidential and should only be used for the purposes requested. Except where stated as otherwise, the source of all information is Aviva Investors as at 31 December 2012. Any future returns and opinions expressed are based on the internal forecasts of Aviva Investors and should not be relied upon as indicating any guarantee of return from an investment managed by Aviva Investors. No part of this document is intended to constitute advice or recommendations of any nature. Where performance has been illustrated it is not intended to be a guide to the future. Full details of the Aviva Investors products and services are available on request. The value of assets are subject to market fluctuations and can move irrationally and be unpredictably affected by many and various factors including political and economic events and rumours and as such the value of investments may go down as well as up and your clients may receive less than the original amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to the future. There can be no assurance that these Funds will meet their investment objectives or that they will stay within their target volatility ranges. As the Funds will be subject to short-term market fluctuations and they aim, on average, to reflect investor risk profiles, over any three year period, they should be viewed as medium to long-term investments. As these Funds may invest outside of the UK in assets denominated in currencies other than sterling, any currency exchange rate movement may cause the value of an investment to fall as well as rise.
