Carmignac Group management is highly international, enabling the company to capitalise on worldwide opportunities, on nearly 50 financial markets around the world. For us, the pursuit of excellence means having sound knowledge of local markets. Local on-the-ground research lies at the heart of our investment philosophy. Genuine local expertise offers us a thorough understanding of the companies for which we see growth potential in their business and their industry. The asset Management team is constantly striving to improve their knowledge of companies by visiting offices, commercial premises, facilities and production sites. Fund managers meet with management teams and staff to gain a clear view of how the company operates. Through this detailed and quite structured research, they obtain the quality information needed to make sound investment décisions. Carmignac Group is owned entirely by its managers and staff. In this way, the company’s long-term viability is ensured by a stable shareholding structure, reflecting its spirit of independence. This fundamental value ensures the freedom required for a successful and renowned portfolio management.

Carmignac Group investment philosophy is built on six founding principles: Responsiveness: the management’s organisation (daily manager meetings, cross exchanges of information on all markets and portfolios) makes it highly responsive, and major decisions can be taken at any time, without waiting for allocation committee meetings to be held. Non-benchmarked conviction management, with investment choices based on the managers’ convictions and analyses, not on the makeup of market indices. Active management, looking to anticipate market trends rather than being subjected to them and not hesitating to protect portfolios if markets are expected to fall, using forward transactions (hedging) if necessary. Experience: Carmignac Group is able to benefit from vast experience in active management, the management style it has followed since it was founded in 1989. Opportunistic management not linked to any specific style, neither growth nor value, but selecting the types of assets, areas for investment, sectors and securities most appropriate in every situation. Expert managers true to their convictions Advocates of independent management and recognised as such, Carmignac Group managers have an original investment philosophy that is based on: Highly international management, reflecting the management team, able to capitalise on opportunities on financial markets worldwide. Anticipating trends and developments. An investment management objective seeking positive performance irrespective of market conditions, in line with the recommended investment horizon. Investing to participate in the growth of companies. Adopting a conviction over the long term. A wealth management approach using asset diversification and strict risk management. Taking an entrepreneurial look at the companies in which Carmignac Group invests. Benefiting from total freedom of investment, making it possible to select the securities that are most firmly anchored in the countries’ socioeconomic reality. Investment philosophy founded on five major qualities Upholding “contrarian” ideas, not hesitating to analyse companies that have been neglected by the markets. Independence: with an entrepreneurial structure not belonging to any financial group, Carmignac Group is independent in its strategy and management decisions. Courage: it takes courage to follow your convictions and take up marked positions independent of market indices. 4 Press contact: Carmignac Group • Marie Vanbremeersch • Tel.: (+33) 01 70 92 33 85 • [email protected] Maitland • William Clutterbuck • Tel.: (+44) 20 7379 5151 • [email protected] Press Kit investment Seeking opportunities in emerging countries energy: Carmignac Group is giving priority to service companies in the oil and gas sectors (drilling and exploration companies), which are benefiting from the necessary increases in oil companies’ exploration budgets, as well as the fact that the main oilfields are reaching maturity, The Carmignac Group emerging countries approach gives priority to growth securities in sectors that are exposed to domestic demand and rising standards of living. The expanding middle class and their growing wealth create genuine opportunities for investment in the banking sector (use of borrowing), as well as real estate construction, retail, leisure and other areas. ore and industrial metal producers, precious metal: gold and gold mines are benefiting from the fact that Central Banks from emerging countries are looking to diversify their reserves in order to protect themselves against inflationary risk. Carmignac Group is constantly on the lookout for businesses that are well adapted to the socioeconomic reality of the countries in which it invests, or quality securities that are not particularly well-known among investors. Developing innovative technologies Attention given to natural resources Carmignac Group gives priority to long-term investment themes, with highly innovative features, characterised by lasting growth: alternative energies, Emerging economies with rapid growth and galloping urbanisation necessarily have heavy demand for infrastructure development and therefore commodities. The increasing rarity of new discoveries of deposits, resulting from 15 to 20 years of underinvestment in exploration, the inevitable exhaustion of existing deposits, and new environmental restrictions are exerting supply-side pressures. In light of this, natural resources represent a major preferred theme: water purification and conservation, biotechnologies, information technologies. 5 Press contact: Carmignac Group • Marie Vanbremeersch • Tel.: (+33) 01 70 92 33 85 • [email protected] Maitland • William Clutterbuck • Tel.: (+44) 20 7379 5151 • [email protected] Press Kit Expert team 1989�������������������Founder and Chairman of Carmignac Group Edouard Carmignac Chairman Global Fund Manager 1985�������������������Stockbroker and Chief Executive Officer, Hamant-Carmignac 1984�������������������Chairman of Pyramide Gestion,the Hamant et Cie subsidiary 1977 - 1983��������Assistant Director, Banque de la Société Financière Européenne.
