Matteo Bosco × March 16, 11:00 - The role of the independent verifier in the heterogeneous world of sustainability. Useful tools for the independent assessment of the sustainability of a portfolio Attention to sustainability issues continues to grow: even the International Monetary Fund has expressed itself in this direction, calling on all central banks to support the growth of markets and products that meet ESG criteria. But how to identify products that are truly ESG? To date, there are no unambiguous, coherent and comparable data on a subject that is also in continuous evolution: while we wait for a common international metric, the role of the “verifier” will be necessary and central. An ESG expert capable of verifying the conformity of products, a function that will play an increasingly important role in the near future Speaker: Matteo Bosco, Partner Conser Alban Preaubert × March 17, 11:00 - Sycomore Eco Solutions Sycomore Eco Solutions focuses on economic players whose business models contribute towards the Environmental and Energy Transition in five key areas: mobility; energy; renovation and construction; the circular economy and ecosystem related businesses. The fund excludes companies that are fully or partially involved in businesses that destroy natural capital or whose ESG rating is too low. To be eligible to our investment universe, companies must have a positive environmental impact. It is measured through the “NEC”, a specific metric developed by Sycomore to avoid the pitfalls encountered when using metrics available on the market. The carbon footprint, for example, addresses only one environmental issue, definitely important: climate change. The NEC is an alternative measure which has the advantage of integrating several environmental issues such as climate change, scarcity of natural resources, biodiversity, water and air quality. Speaker: Alban Preaubert, Sr Portfolio Manager and ESG analys, Sycomore AM Sponsors 2021 Lemanik × COMPANY DESCRIPTION Independent, family-owned and FINMA regulated investment boutique, Lemanik Invest actively manages and distributes from Lugano and Zürich the Lemanik SICAV (1.8 bn/Eur) to qualified investors in Switzerland.

Digital Asset Fund × Investing in Crypto Assets is fascinating, and can potentially be very profitable, however there are many hidden pitfalls and risks when dealing with this Asset Class. For a fund manager, trustee o even an advisor, approaching this Asset Class requires experience and foresight, due to the complications of the technology that is not yet user friendly and the risks connected with the custody of these Assets. Furthermore, there is a very high volatility and managing emotions can be difficult. Instead of investing directly, a smarter approach would be to buy shares in an Alternative Fund that manages the exposure to Crypto in a professional and active manner, aiming to reduce possible drawdowns while still benefiting from the sometimes substantial returns offered by this sector. Global Series – Digital Asset Fund invests in Crypto Assets allowing exposure to this sector through a Harmonized Alternative Fund authorized for sale in the UK, Switzerland and Italy.

Legallab × Prosperise Capital × Introduction to Multistar Prosperise Credit enhanced fund. A Fixed Income Ucits Alternative Prosperise Capital is a specialised asset manager in the credit sector. It was created in 2009 and it is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority . It manages 800 mln AUM. Prosperise Capital has successfully gained regulatory approval for a new UCITs fund (“Credit Enhanced Fund”) investing in structured credit instruments. Certain limits will safeguard compliance with UCITs regulations and ensure necessary liquidity. The fund will be an actively managed credit fund ,focused on investing strategically in the capital structures of various performing credit assets, with focus on credit indexes and securitised assets . Prosperise Capital has managed this strategy for more than 15 years, through various crises and multiple phases of the cycle with positive results. The last 12 month (data Creditflux YTD September) the strategy (managed in an off shore vehicle, Sgas Pearl Vega) has achieved returns of 6.1 % on a net basis (8.1 % gross) and remains one of the best among the top structured credit managers in Europe, and one of only a few that have generated positive returns in 2020. (YTD September 5.8% and 7.8%) . A multi-year track record will be included in the presentation and made available. The extraordinary volatility experienced by the market in 2020 is reminiscent of previous crises, yet we think investors should approach the market once again: plenty of value pockets remain available. Credit spreads in structured credit persistently offer a considerable pick up versus similarly rated assets and greater protection against defaults. We believe that 2021 should be a year of normalisation implying low interest rates and tight vanilla credit spreads. However, default rates are expected to rise once support from governments and central banks around the world is phased out. This can leave credit markets vulnerable and so a degree of structural protection and instrument flexibility become desirable features going into 2021 for improved value and downside.We will present at Nimeetz this fund and will be happy to meet you to explain the characteristics.

Fundeye × Seven Capital Management × Absolute Performance Management providing different and innovative solutions Why Absolute Performance Management? Because we firmly believe that management must be active in order to most closely meet the essential objective of any investor, that is, over-performing in any type of market configuration and protecting capital during correction or crash phases. How are you different – what is your methodology to achieve this? Seven Capital has developed management processes based on momentum for its entire range, so as to serve this “Absolute Performance” approach. Formerly reserved for “initiated” investors, such absolute performance management is now accessible through funds regulated under European law, management mandates, dedicated funds and certificates. Furthermore, the Seven Capital management process is totally systematic, which guarantees rigor, serenity and reproducibility, unlike so-called discretionary processes. Consequently, the Seven Capital management process enables investors to fully know in advance the risks they are exposed to in terms of volatility, maximum loss (max draw-down) and duration of recovery. These three elements give Seven Capital products their differentiation and complementarity. What are your instruments for management? As we have a high concern for the liquidity of our products, we are only involved in ultra-liquid vehicles: Ultra-liquid futures in rates and equity Large-cap single stocks with high daily transaction volume . French Treasury Bonds for liquidity. Your range brings innovative solutionsin portfolio compartments: Our range meets the needs of investors for their different portfolio compartments : Core Portfolio: Active Flexible Diversified Fund with “Absolute Performance” approach. Stocks: Large capitalization equity European funds in Euro Absolute Performance” Management Market Neutral Equity Management Directional Long/Short Management Your historical record demonstrates the relevance of your approach: The outperformance capacity and the solidity of our investment process have been tested in our various funds since 2007 with two major markets shocks (2008/2009 – 2011/2012). In both cases all the aims of our management methodology have been reached that is, over-performing in any type of market configuration and protecting capital during correction or crash phases. Controlling losses is a powerful long-term performance generator. It is therefore more important not to lose or to lose little than to seek performance at any cost.
