Investment Strategy
The Tri Style Fund takes advantage of a wide variety of investment opportunities. Like conventional investment funds, it may invest directly in equities, bonds or money market instruments; in addition, it may purchase investment funds to further increase diversification and thus limit risk. Specifically, this allows the fund managers to increase or decrease the equity allocation depending on the circumstances. The wide range that can be allocated to equities makes the Tri Style Fund very flexible. In keeping with the absolute return approach, this can also help the fund react flexibly to market movements during sustained downturns.

Monthly Fund Manager's Commentary
In April the European stock markets remained in its gloomy mood. The MSCI World in EUR lost 0.77%. The Stoxx 600 for the most important equities suffered a loss of 2.29%. On the contrary the US market, mirrored by S & P 500 in Euro, increased 0.70%. The development of the Asian markets varied too. The Nikkei 225 lost 2.48 % but the Hang Seng Index for shares registered in HongKong increased by 3.50 %. The reason for the poor development may have been the considerably weak European Purchasing Manager Index. A further factor was the significant burden of the Spanish and Greece banking system. Recent studies indicate the total failure risk of 70% of the Spanish property loans with a volume of 323 billion Euros. However, the Chinese economic indicator slightly recovered. Whereas the US economic indicator ECRI declined the second time in a row. Because of the substantial correction of the European equity market on one hand and on the other side the compared to bonds favorable valuated shares, have improved the outlook for a successful entry for investments into shares.
