Performance of investment funds ndash France bull October 2020

Further decline in the performance of non-monetary mutual funds

The annual performance of non-money market funds deteriorates again in October (-32 after -15 in September) mainly due to the decline in the monthly valuations of all fund categories The further fall in the stock markets in October explains the significant decline in equity funds (-4 monthly performance and -66 over the year) The annual performance of employee savings funds stands at -104 due to their overweight in equities (see graph below) The annual performance of money market funds is almost stable at -034

The different categories of funds under review are defined by the Autoriteacute des Marcheacutes Financiers (AMF ndash French Financial Markets

Authority) The classification of each fund is based on its real risk exposure The definition of the exposure and the risk thresholds for

each category are developed in AMF Instructions 2011-19 2011-20 and 2011-21

The Stoxx 600 index comprises 600 companies residing in 18 European countries

The Barclays index comprises sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds corporate bonds and asset-backed securities It includes

securities denominated in 24 currencies issued from developed and emerging markets The rating of the securities is ldquoinvestment

graderdquo with residual maturity over one year

The Euro-MTS Index is a euro-denominated bond index that measures the performance of the eurozone government bond market

across all maturities of the underlying bonds combined

The performance of the indices is measured by total return (price change and couponsdividends reinvested) The yield spreads

between these indices and the performance of UCITs in France reflect differences in composition and management orientation in

particular the split between highly liquid sovereign bonds issued by major advanced countries less liquid sovereign bonds or bonds

with a higher riskreturn profile and bonds issued by private issuers 6 month-Euribor and the performance of money market may

temporarily divert This is due to differences in the composition of the interbank index and the money market fundsrsquo portfolio (nature

of the issuer geographical diversification average maturity exchange rate effects linked to funds denominated in foreign currencies)
