Fixed Income asset class as a continuum

� Broad universe for all economic environments

� Two key drivers of bond performance: interest rates and credit spreads

AAA AA A BBB BB B CCC and below

Bond performance is mainly driven by interest rates , credit spreads or a combination of the two

Interest rates Credit spreads

Low Volatility / Lower Yield High Volatility / Higher Yield

Asset class total return for different market environments

The performance of different parts of the bond asse t class will be driven by the temperature of the global economy, measured below by the ISM* manufact uring index

Reasons to invest in a total return unconstrained fund:

We asset allocates across our entire Fixed Income expertise in order to provide superior risk adjustedreturns, without reference to any benchmark. As such the per formance is measured by the total return(income plus capital) of the fund.

� Active asset allocation: ability to invest across the entire Fixed Income universe

� Flexibility: portfolio construction driven by AXA IM Alpha groups, not by a third party benchmark

� Diversification: our process is based on a strategy of diversification aiming to provide superior returns

What we don’t do:

x We are not a long / short absolute return fund

x One Alpha group does not provide 100% of the risk

x This is not a fund of funds

Aggressive

Defensive / Intermediate / Aggressive, in the context of AXA WF Global Strategic Bonds, are proprietary AXA Investment Managers terms, and describe the way in which we broadly segregate the Fund’s investable bond universe. In absolute return terms, we view Defensive bonds as those where performance is predominantly driven by interest rate movements, such as government bonds. Intermediate bonds performance is driven by a mixture of interest rates and credit spread, typically investment grade corporate bonds. Aggressive bonds are those where performance is driven predominantly by credit spread.

Fund objective: to maximise total return through st rategic asset allocation across our entire Fixed In come

expertise, in order to provide income and capital a ppreciation, without any benchmark
