Strategy seeking to capture the volatility premium
The fund invests in derivative financial instruments whose value is dependent on price fluctuations (volatility) on the stock market. In particular, variance swaps are employed that rise in value, if the realized volatility (more precisely: the variance) is lower than the volatility implied in the swap agreement. The success of the investment strategy does not depend on the direction of the market trend but on the actual development of volatility relative to the implied one. The assets that are not held in derivatives are typically invested in a portfolio of debt securities with investment grade of OECD, EEA and / or EU member states. The investment objective is long-term capital growth.

Investing involves risk. The value of an investment and the income from it may fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the full amount invested. Investing in fixed income instruments may expose investors to various risks, including but not limited to creditworthiness, interest rate, liquidity and restricted flexibility risks. Changes to the economic environment and market conditions may affect these risks, resulting in an adverse effect to the value of the investment. During periods of rising nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments (including positions with respect to short-term fixed income instruments) are generally expected to decline. Conversely, during periods of declining interest rates, the values of these instruments are generally expected to rise. Liquidity risk may possibly delay or prevent account withdrawals or redemptions. Allianz Volatility Strategy Fund is a sub-fund of Allianz Global Investors Fund SICAV, an open-ended investment company with variable share capital organised under the laws of Luxembourg. The value of the units/shares which belong to the Unit/Share Classes of the Sub-Fund that are not denominated in the base currency may be subject to an increased volatility. The volatility of other Unit/Share Classes may be different and possibly higher. Past performance does not predict future returns. If the currency in which the past performance is displayed differs from the currency of the country in which the investor resides, then the investor should be aware that due to the exchange rate fluctuations the performance shown may be higher or lower if converted into the investor’s local currency.
