“For the purpose of this Sub-fund, investments are to be considered as eligible in the sense of Art. 19 (1) alinea a) to c) of the Directive EC/85/611 in those African markets that:
STANLIB Asset Management Limited, South Africa, currently appointed as investment sub-adviser of the Sub-fund, will be appointed as investment sub-sub-manager of the Sub-fund.
The administration fee will be shown to be “up to 0.250% p.a.”, instead of “up to 0.185% p.a.”.
With regard to the Sub-fund “Heracles Long/Short MI Fund”, the following changes will take place:
