Index Changes 30.11.2016 31.10.2016 Change Comment

Europa

2016 ended up being a reasonably good

year for markets. However, the year will

be remembered for Brexit, Trump and

Renzi, partly due to the unexpected

nature of some of the results, but also the

potentially profound shift in international

relations in coming years. In Bulgaria the

presidential elections in the autumn

brought the greatest surprise. The first

election loss of GERB and the victory of

the Gen. R. Radev led to the resignation

of the government. Early parliamentary

elections expected to be held in mid-

spring 2017th.

Overall, the divergence in monetary

policy that was expected played out, and

is likely to remain a theme for 2017.

Investors have bought into the Trump or

“reflation trade” on hopes of stronger

growth, rising inflation and higher interest

rates. We factor a fiscal boost into our

forecast, but the impact will not be felt

until 2018.

Political risk shifts to Europe in 2017 with

the risk of an upset in France or Italy

potentially threatening a breakup of the

euro.

For Bulgaria the main risk lies in early

elections and the inability to form a

government for a long time

Raiffeisen-Euro-Click

Master Fund

"Raiffeisen-Euro-Click" offers a protection model, which

aims to preserve 90% of the highest NAV per unit of the

fund achieved historically. This value is subject to a

constant correction in case there is a new high in the

fund’s NAV per unit.

"Raiffeisen-Euro-Click" invest its assets in two types of

components

component that ensures stability (deposits,

money market instruments, bonds, funds investing

in bonds)

(mainly in bonds , bond funds or equity funds

investing in shares)

Thanks to the elevated ratio of equities, the fund profited from the strong equity market performance. The current

strategic adjustment also resulted in a minor increase in this asset class, whereas investment in commodities was cut

back in favour of inflation-linked bonds. The US central bank raised its key interest rate, as had been generally

anticipated. Its unexpectedly hawkish outlook for the future, however, triggered intense reactions on the market,

which on the whole had a very small negative impact on the fund.

The year-end rally on the equity markets triggered by the US elections continued in December. The bond markets

initially stabilised, but the US bond market then quickly came under pressure again due to the unexpectedly

hawkish outlook presented by the US Fed. In line with this, USD rapidly began appreciating again. On the other

hand, commodities – and precious metals in particular – conceded their gains. Along with the corporate outlooks,

the fundamental economic and labour market are positive.

Master Fund

Raiffeisen-Fund-Security is a mixed fund of funds.

It pursues an investment goal of moderate

capital growth and mainly invests (at least 51% of

its fund assets) in units in investment funds. Units in

equity funds may not exceed 35% of the fund’s

assets. Units in investment funds are mainly

selected on the basis of the quality of the

investment process, their performance to date

and their risk management. In addition to

investment funds, the fund may also invest in

securities, in bonds and money market

instruments issued by sovereigns, supranational

issuers and/or companies etc. and in sight

deposits and deposits at notice.

There were modest purchases of equities at the end of November. Preference was shown for equities from Japan,

the emerging markets, and the UK, especially versus US equities. In the bond segment, the ad-mix of inflation-linked

bonds was maintained, and there were purchases of EUR-denominated high yield bonds. Holdings of emerging

market hard currency bonds were reduced. US high yield bonds and corporate bonds were added as a new ad-

mix.

Markets essentially did not react at all to the rate hike in the USA, as this move was expected and had thus already

been priced in. On the other hand, the Fed’s hawkish comments on the outlook for the next few years did come as

a surprise. If the economic data do indeed continue to improve, several more interest rate hikes can be expected

from the Fed in 2017.

Raiffeisen Global Equities

Master fund

Месечен бюлетин

Raiffeisen Global Equities was established on

16.10.1986, the Fund invests primarily in global

equities, with a regional focus on North America,

Europe and Japan. The main objective of the

Fund is long-term capital growth by taking a - high

risks.

Preferred are companies with attractive

fundamental results.

In addition, sectoral and geographical selection

of stocks provide broad diversification. The fund is

aimed at investors wishing to benefit from the

receipt of high incoe investing in stocks, while

knowingly take the risk of significant exchange

rate fluctuations (movement of stock prices and

exchange rates.)

During the reporting period, the fund’s performance was positive, driven by the selection of securities in the energy

sector. In terms of individual names, Sompo Holdings, CME Group, Citigroup, and SunTrust Banks all did well. At the

same time, despite the aforementioned names, the overweighting in this sector cost the fund some performance.

The performance contributions from the tech sector were weaker. Ralph Lauren Corporation was a new addition to

the portfolio.

Markets essentially did not react at all to the rate hike in the USA, as this move was expected and had thus already

been priced in. On the other hand, the Fed’s hawkish comments on the outlook for the next few years did come as

a surprise. If the economic data do indeed continue to improve, several more interest rate hikes can be expected

from the Fed in 2017.
