The fund seeks capital appreciation. The Sub-Fund’s investment objective is to establish, in the investors’ interest, an asset allocation in securities (equities and bonds, directly of via derivative instruments) of issuers established in Italy by pursuing a long/short strategy. On an ancillary basis, the portfolio may be invested in international equities and debt obligations of any financial duration which shall be issued by sovereign states, supranational entities, corporate issuers, special purpose vehicles or other legal entities resident in OECD or other countries, without constraints as to the choice of the reference currency. The securities need not be rated and may be non-investment grade without constraints in this respect. Sector allocation may significantly vary between periods; corporate securities (including principally equities, bonds and other securities) shall be issued by issuers of any economic sector.
