Fund presentation

Following the success of its first 3 FCPIs ("fonds commun de placement dans l'innovation" or high-tech fund), AGF Private Equity has launched the Allianz Innovation 4, giving you an opportunity to diversify your investments.

Created in 1997, FCPIs aim to encourage individuals to invest in innovative companies.

According to the regulations governing their composition, FCPIs must be invested as follows:

at least 60% must be invested in innovative unquoted companies:
The innovative nature of a company is judged according to its spending on research and development, or whether it has been approved by the ANVAR (the French innovation association).

The company must also satisfy a number of criteria:
- fewer than 500 employees
- majority of capital not held by a legal entity

the remainder (up to 40%) is invested at the discretion of the management company.
For Allianz Innovation 4, the remainder is diversified in an even balance between shares, bonds and money market or other mutual funds.

FCPIs are subject to very specific regulations, with particular regard to limits on the holding of assets and the distribution of risk within portfolios.

FCPIs are subject to approval and auditing by the AMF (the French financial markets authority).

Attractive tax benefits:
In addition to its potential for long-term growth, Allianz Innovation 4 entitles you to a tax reduction equal to 25% of your initial payment (subscription + fees) up to a limit of
12,000 euros for a single person and 24,000 euros for a couple taxed jointly. Allianz Innovation 4 thus allows you to deduct up to 6,000 euros for a couple and 3,000 euros for a single person.

This tax reduction is complemented by tax exemption on gains (except social security and other state deductions) after five years' shareholding.
