Measured against the period of time, this corresponds to an average return of 12% per year. The fund volume amounts to EUR 1.166 million (as of 31/12/2015). In the process, the asset-management mixed fund showed average volatility of only 8% over the entire term. The value and event strategy of the global mixed fund comes from GANÉ Aktiengesellschaft. With a variable investment ratio in shares, bonds and liquidity, returns similar to that of shares are to be achieved in the long term, with fluctuations low. This approach was awarded the top grades from Morningstar (5 stars), Stiftung Warentest (5 points) and Feri (A). The fund has been Lipper Leader twice (Total Return, Consistent Return) and has won several awards (e.g. Lipper Fund Awards). It received the "Globe d'argent de la Gestion" award in France for its stability in phases of downward trends on stock markets. The quarterly distribution for tranche C will be increased by 7 per cent to 3.75 euros for each share certificate. This means that the current interest return now totals 1.3 per cent. Since 10 July 2013, the two accumulating tranches (A and B) have been supplemented by tranche C. The distributing tranche C is aligned towards foundations and pension funds as well as to all investors who value stable distributions over the course of the year. The tranche C return is distributed in each quarter. The fund managers aim to achieve a constant distribution of approx. 4 per cent per year. Dr. Uwe Rathausky, managing director of GANÉ Aktiengesellschaft, commented on the current gross distribution: "In the last quarter, we will once again be able to increase the distribution by 7 per cent to 3.75 euros for each share certificate. Accordingly, the interest return for our investors is close to 1.3 per cent for the current year. We aim to achieve a continuous, long term increase in the interest return to 4 per cent. Over the course of this development, we intend to set up a track record and to consistently increase or maintain the level of distributions during the year compared to the payment in the previous quarter; we do not intend for them to fall. The high volume of distribution reserves which we have been able to accrue since the tranche C launch date represent a solid base for achieving this." J. Henrik Muhle, managing director of GANÉ Aktiengesellschaft, adds: "Our distribution reserve is derived from interest, dividends and gains on disposals. Today, we now dispose of a distribution potential of approx. 75 euros for each share certificate. Unrealised profits from transactions with securities currently amounting to an additional 35 euros for each share certificate have further added to this. In this way, we have laid the foundations for a success story: to be able to constantly offer our investors an alternative in the light of an environment characterised by low interest rates." <pre> Management Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH company Custodian Hauck&Aufhäuser Privatbankiers KGaA bank Team Universal-Investment (manager), ACATIS (advisor), GANÉ (sub- advisor) ISIN Share class A: DE000A0X7541 Share class B: DE000AIC5DI3 Share class C: DE000AIT73W9 Fund volume EUR 1.166 million Minimum None investment Running Share class A: 1.79% costs Share class B: 1.38% Share class C: 1.79% Subscript- Share class A and C: up to 5% ion fee Share class B: up to 4% Performan- 20% of the performance exceeding 6% p.a., in the event of a new ce fee share value high (share class B: maximum 2% p.a.) </pre> - END - You can find detailed information at www.gane.de <pre> Contact: Press contact: GANÉ Aktiengesellschaft KERL und CIE Dr Uwe Rathausky David Kerl J.
