FTC SMART VOLATILITY PLUS provides a hedge for equity investments during stress scenarios such as the Lehman bankruptcy in the fall of 2008 or the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in 2020. Combined with alternative equity exposure during average market periods, the fund offers positive expected returns over the long term.

Marketing communication. The performance is calculated according to the OeKB method. The performance takes into account the management fee. The one-off front-end load of up to 3% that may be charged at the time of purchase, depending on the distribution channel, and any individual transaction-related or ongoing income-reducing costs (e.g. account and custody account fees) are not included in the presentation.

The SMART VOLATILITY PLUS shows increased volatility.
SMART VOLATILITY PLUS may invest substantially in exchange-traded futures and demand or callable deposits with maturities of 12 months or less.
The computer system used by FTC employs certain strategies based on the reliability and accuracy of analytical models. If these models (or their underlying assumptions) prove to be incorrect, the performance of the SMART VOLATILITY PLUS may not meet expectations, which could result in substantial losses to the SMART VOLATILITY PLUS and, therefore, to investors.
Volatility long & short
SMART VOLATILITY PLUS applies two quantitative and systematic strategy groups that trade volatility futures: In most market environments, the strategies that take effect are those that skim risk premiums through short volatility exposure in relatively calm market phases. In contrast, during heavy stress phases, short-term and highly weighted long volatility exposure is built up. In combination, we expect a highly positive correlation to the equity market in average market environments and negative correlation and high excess returns in stress markets.
In the investment portfolio, SMART VOLATILITY PLUS is recommended as an add-on suitable to hedge the portfolio's equity exposure against extreme events on the stock market.

Risk disclaimer
Every investment involves risks. Fund prices may rise or fall. Performance data refer to the past.
Past performance is no reliable indicator for future results.
In particular, capital preservation cannot be guaranteed.
Investments in foreign currencies are subject to exchange rate fluctuations and currency risks, which means that the performance of such investments also depends on the volatility of the foreign currency, which can have a negative influence on the capital invested.
Futures Funds: Investments in futures funds can be very profitable, but they can also involve considerable risks that do not, or at least not to the same extent, occur with traditional investment categories and which can lead to a considerable loss, or at worst, the total loss of the investment. Therefore, investors must be prepared and able to accept a complete loss. When purchasing shares in futures funds, a longer-term holding period should be intended with the primary purpose of adding such funds to an existing diversified portfolio.
