6 6 Our model THE CLIENT The client opens an account with the custodian bank and assigns a power of attorney for asset management to his or her independent asset manager. This under no circumstances authorises the asset manager to withdraw funds or securities from its clients holdings. TELOMERE CAPITAL The independent asset manager is responsible for managing the client s accounts. It works with the client to determine the risk that he or she is willing and able to enter into and the investment policy to be applied to his or her assets. The asset manager is answerable for the results of the investments made and must report to the client on their performance. THE BANK The bank is responsible for administering the accounts held by the independent asset manager s clients. In particular, it takes care of securities custody, transaction settlement, collection of income and dividends, corporate actions, transfers and withdrawals of cash and securities, reporting, retention of account-opening documents, and electronic account access. The client may contact the bank directly at any time to obtain information or issue instructions.

8 HUMAN APPROACH

9 WEALTH MANAGEMENT Looking to protect and grow your assets? Telomere Capital s expert advice will help you achieve both goals through comprehensive understanding of your situation. Understanding who you are in order to better serve you While experience and expertise play a key role in wealth management, these elements only make sense when they are based on an understanding of your wealth, your situation and your needs in their entirety. We listen to you and focus on your priorities by carefully aligning our solutions with your own specific interests in the short, medium and long term. We operate as an independent partner, meaning that when you work with Telomere Capital, you enjoy a tailored service and complete freedom in your investment choices. How we add value A personalised advisory approach A stable, enduring relationship Active management A robust investment process Tailored management solutions Socially responsible investment Clear and transparent pricing Understanding who you are, assessing your immediate needs and examining your long-term goals underpins all our management solutions. ACTIVE MANAGEMENT Are you looking for drivers of performance? In opting for active management, Telomere Capital seeks out the best investment opportunities for you across different sectors and regions, while performing continuous risk monitoring. Mastering investment actions to generate performance To be able to seize the best opportunities, an investment manager needs to follow a flexible asset allocation, enabling him or her to operate highly reactively in the markets. Telomere Capital firmly believes in the potential of active management and favours this mode of action, while attaching equal importance to managing the associated risks. Risk management lies at the heart of our investment philosophy and plays a pivotal role in all our investment decisions. You benefit in two ways: this rigorous, common-sense approach seeks first to maximise protection of your capital, while also generating returns.

10 10 ROBUST INVESTMENT PROCESS Do you prefer to make decisions based on facts? So does Telomere Capital. That is why, in developing our strategies, we apply a rigorous process combining fundamental analysis with the research by top global experts. Getting the measure of trends to make informed investments Given that 80% of a portfolio s performance derives from its asset allocation, modelling macroeconomic scenarios is critical to developing investment strategies. We act with independence in our advisory services, which allows us to select the best investment opportunities. We do not propose in-house products and are not a product distributor. In addition to this fundamental and statistical basis, we also draw on the research of more than 400 financial analysts worldwide to firm up our convictions and to independently identify the best investment opportunities. The third and final stage in our process is to open our ideas up to challenge at weekly investment committee meetings, so as to validate our strategic and tactical positions and then implement them in the portfolios. TAILORED MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS Do you favour discretionary management or investment advice? Whatever your choice, Telomere Capital will offer you the full flexibility needed to implement the solution that best suits your profile, adapting it to your specific requirements as necessary. Tailored support to guide your investment management Whether to delegate management of your assets or keep control over your investment decisions is a choice that involves questions of both time and skill. After all, managing a portfolio requires constant attention. In a hyper-connected world where change has become the norm and information is a never-ending flood, every decision must be made in full knowledge of the facts. This state of permanent flux can also contain many opportunities, which is where active management comes into its own. Our personalised support and tailored solutions will allow you to benefit fully, by taking advantage of our recommendations or allocation proposals.

11 SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT Do you favour sustainable growth in your investment selection? If so, our responsible investment management mandates offer a solution tailored to your concerns. Choose sustainable growth to invest sustainably Socially responsible investment, which is integrated into our overall approach to management, is in line with sustainable practice in finance. We offer mandates exclusively invested in companies that are leading examples of environmental, social or corporate responsibility. Industries that do not meet strict sustainability criteria are therefore excluded from our portfolio, as are sectors presenting governance risks. In this context, responsible investing offers increased protection for your assets while generating opportunities for regular returns. CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT PRICING Do you like clarity? Telomere Capital ensures clarity by presenting at the first meeting all the elements included in its pricing, i.e. management fees, commission and charges. We work in complete transparency with you and our partners. Transparency increases trust Our fee policy is simple and transparent. By charging a fixed management fee on your deposited assets, Telomere Capital guarantees total transparency on its management fees, commission and retrocession policy. This promotes better cost control for both you and for us, since no additional charges are levied for brokerage or custody. Thanks to this flat-rate model, you can benefit from our fully advice without encountering any conflicts of interest.
