Improved ABLV mutual funds’ fact sheets

We care about the comfort of our clients and follow the best practices, so we decided to improve the monthly ABLV investment funds’ fact sheets to make them more transparent, and we added some important additional information.

As always, every month asset management company ABLV Asset Management, IPAS provides our clients with a comment on the events on the market and general performance of the mutual funds in the particular month.

The novelty is the separate fact sheet per each of the 12 mutual funds we offer. Such fact sheet is going to contain individual fund performance description in English: chart of return on invested EUR 100 or USD 100 and annual yield of the fund, TOP 10 investments in the particular financial instruments, division of investments by industries and other information describing the operation of the fund.

Fact sheets will still be available at the client service area of our headquarters, as well as under each investment fund on the website.
