Amundi Age Trend Mixed Fund of Funds

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY INHERENT IN THE AGEING OF THE POPULATION

Has it ever occurred to you that, beyond the perceivable problems, population ageing hides opportunities as well? The proportion of elderly people keeps rising; moreover, this growth trend is seen to accelerate.¹ An increasingly significant part of the economy deals with serving the needs of elderly people, offering an excellent investment opportunity. This is what Amundi’s new fund, the Amundi Age Trend Mixed Fund of Funds (the “Fund”) seeks to leverage.

Fund features

CPR Invest – Global Silver Age²

The Fund captures the topic of the ageing society predominantly by investing in the CPR Invest – Global Silver Age fund.

The CPR Invest - Global Silver Age fund capitalises on the structural trend of ageing and the investment opportunities arising from this by focusing on eight sectors serving the needs of senior consumers that, in the opinion of the managers of the CPR Invest – Global Silver Age fund, may constitute a high potential source of income for investors.

The eight identified sectors are currently the following³:

Pharmaceuticals (medicines and medicinal products)
Automobiles (e.g. models tailored to the target group)
Healthcare equipment (medical technology, e.g. hearing aids)
Dependency (nursing homes, care services)
Security (e.g. alarms, video surveillance systems)
Well-being (beauty and care products, household appliances)
Leisure (recreation, tourism, gardening)
Asset gatherers (investment, life insurance)

Business performance

+ 11.6%: the average annual growth rate of the operating results connected to the ageing population, calculated from 1996⁶.

Seniors have an increasingly significant purchasing power as compared with the other age groups of society, and the needs typical of this age group are already answered by vast numbers of companies these days with offers expressly tailored to them (sea voyages, television programmes, wellness services, etc.).⁴

The managers of the fund distinguish between two distinct groups of senior consumers:

Pensioners (aged 65-80)

Former baby boomers with a very high purchasing power: they aim to stay fit and healthy as long as possible, and refuse to be a burden for their close family and friends. They have plenty of free time, and have a high budget to spend on filling it valuably and comfortably, therefore have a high consumption potential.

Seniors (aged 80+)

They are frequently vulnerable: this age group is usually characterised by their increased dependency and high consumption of drugs, and frequently relies on healthcare equipment, care or nursing.

How is the CPR Invest – Global Silver Age fund managed?

From the approximately 740 global companies whose activities are built on the ageing population, the fund’s manager, CPR Asset Management, narrows down the number of companies included in the portfolio to 80-100 as a result of an extensive selection process. The dynamic change in the weight of the sectors represented in the portfolio is another important source of added value for the fund.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Amundi Asset Management5, CPR Asset Management endeavours, through its wide expertise (comprising equities, convertible bonds, fixed income securities, asset allocation type products), to offer flexible, efficient and dynamic investment solutions that meet the needs of its customers. At the end of September 2018, the total assets managed by CPR AM were over 49 billion euro.

Investment objective and strategy

Investment objective

The Fund is mixed, which means that it invests in both the bond and equity markets, assuming a lower than medium risk, its aim being to achieve maximum return in the recommended minimum 3-year term.

Investment strategy

The Fund Manager implements the above objective primarily through investment funds, and at least 80% of the portfolio of the Fund is composed of units of investment funds.

Predominantly through investment funds, the Fund’s flexible investment strategy targets several asset classes and regions. Its wide investment spectrum ranges from Hungarian and foreign money and fixed income investments to equity market instruments.

Consistently with the targeted lower than medium risk level, fixed income investments characteristically have significant weight in the portfolio. As far as fixed income investments are concerned, the Fund pursues a flexible, relatively liberal strategy regarding durations and target markets. In the case of riskier—primarily international equity type—investments, the topic of the ageing society plays a key role. Apart from this, the fund has no other predefined geographical or industry investment focus, and the investment strategy targets several asset classes and regions, therefore it has no reference index.

The investment funds applied are selected from the domestic and international investment funds of the Amundi Group. Besides investment funds, the portfolio might include individual investment assets as well, for example liquidity improving government securities and money market instruments (Treasury bills, sovereign bonds, bank deposits). For further details please see the Management Policy and KIID (key investor information document) of the Fund, approved by the National Bank of Hungary.

The topic of the ageing society

Companies capitalising on the ageing of the population may grow more rapidly than the market average, profiting from the significantly increasing demand arising from the rising trend in the number of elderly consumers.⁶ As compared with 2017, the number of people aged more than 60 is expected to double by 2050, and shall grow threefold by 2100, which means that from 962 million seniors in 2017 to 2.1 billion by 2050, and by 2100 3.1 billion people aged 60+ will live around the world.¹

In Europe, 25% of the population are already more than 60 years old; however, a significant ageing of the population is expected in other continents as well in the decades to come. In Asia, for example, by 2030 the number of people aged 60+ is expected to increase by 66%¹.
