Strategies that incorporate ESG criteria and those that incorporate 17 sustainable development criteria may use ESG data that appear similar, but which should be distinguished because their calculation method may be different.

Until 18 February 2022, 20% should be applicable instead. 1Data source: Trucost S&P. For “Carbon Intensity”, at some point in 26 2021, AXA IM may move to using (scope 1 + scope 2 emissions / revenue ($). There is a growing EU-level regulatory effort to move towards the use of carbon intensity measures with enterprise value (EV) as a denominator rather than revenue. However, as discussed, for an asset class with such a significant proportion of private issuers, we do not think this measure makes sense. Comparisons between private and public issuers would not be consistent.

Composite List and Description A complete list and description of all composites is available on request. Portfolio Valuation Portfolios are valued according to the market closing prices each day, except for certain portfolios valued in Germany, which use the closing price of the previous day, and the UK, where the price used is the 2pm price of the same day. In order to apply this valuation policy, the NAV of the day following the valuation date is used for certain portfolios. Dividends paid on securities in the portfolio are accounted for using ex-dividend date and are gross of any withholding taxes. Buy and sell transactions are taken into account using trade-date valuation after confirmation of the trade by the counterparty, except in Germany where settlement date valuation is used. Accrued interest on debt securities is recorded each time the portfolio is valued. All proceeds, including realized and unrealized gains or losses in the portfolio are included in the value of assets. There are minor exceptions to these general rules for specific types of portfolios. Some securities in portfolios of US High Yield composites are valued by reference to broker quotes. Minimum Asset Level & Total Firm Assets The minimum portfolio size for the US High Yield and US Investment Grade composites is 10,000,000 USD. If the portfolio falls below 10,000,000 USD for more than three months it is excluded from the performance calculations for the following month. For all other composites, the upper threshold is defined at 10,000,000 EUR the lower threshold at 8,000,000 EUR, with a 6-month grace period. AUM figures for the Firm include all portfolios falling within the definition of the Firm. 30
GIPS® Performance Disclosure Notes (Continued) Significant Cash Flows If the average cash balance of a portfolio is above 10% for a specific month, the entire portfolio is temporarily removed from the composite performance for that particular month. Additional information regarding the treatment of significant cash flows is available upon request. Currency Used to Express Performance Composite performance figures are presented in the currency of the composite. Performance Results / Fees Composite returns are calculated gross of fees. Gross of fees returns are calculated gross of management and custodial fees and net of all trading expenses. The management fee schedule is as follows: US Core High Yield Composite: First $50 million: 0.48%; next $50 million: 0.44%, next $50 million: 0.41%, next $50 million: 0.39%, Amount above $200 million: 0.37%. US Short Duration High Yield Composite: Flat fee: 0.45%. US Dynamic High Yield Composite: Flat fee: 0.60%. US Investment Grade Corporate Bond Composites: First $50 Million: 0.26%; next $50 million: 0.24%; next $50 million: 0.20%; next $50 million: 0.18%. Amount above $200 million: 0.17%. Benchmarks The composite may be managed against a specific benchmark as indicated on the composite page. The extent to which any given composite invests in countries or regions not included in the benchmark depends on the limits (if any) specified in the investment management contracts of the individual portfolios in the composite. In general, such investment is marginal and is typically less than 10% for any given portfolio. Compliance with Local Laws This performance presentation does not conflict with any relevant local laws in any of the AXA IM management centers included in the Firm perimeter as at 31/12/2016. Calculation Methods Composite performance is calculated on a monthly basis as follows: • The portfolios entering the performance calculation are determined according to the Minimum Asset Level described above. • Each portfolio brings its own specific start and end dates to the calculation, depending on the particular valuation dates of the portfolio. • The performance of each portfolio is calculated using the start and end dates relevant to the period in question, and using daily-weighted cash flows. • The performance of a composite is calculated as a weighted average (using each portfolio’s assets under management as at each portfolio’s specific start date for the period in question) of the performances of the portfolios. • Quarterly, annual, cumulative and since-inception returns are calculated by linking the composite monthly returns through compounded multiplication. The benchmark performance is calculated in a similar fashion, using the same portfolio-related weights and date values, and replacing the portfolio values by the composite benchmark values. The calculation of the composite benchmark return is always comparable in terms of time periods and asset-weightings to the calculation of the composite return. Dispersion Dispersion is the weighted average (using the AUM of each portfolio at the start of the period) of the tracking error between the composite and those portfolios satisfying the Minimum Asset Level test (see above) for the whole period. Composites dispersion is defined as the standard deviation of the returns of the portfolios for the period in question, taking into account the relative size of the portfolios. It is only displayed if there are at least 5 such portfolios. 31
Representative Portfolios and Indices used Gross Performance: Performance shown gross of fees is calculated before the deduction of applicable management fees and other expenses. An investor’s actual return will be reduced by management fees and other expenses the investor may incur. Further information on the firm’s fees may be found in its Form ADV Part 2 (for US investors) or provided upon request. The collection of management fees produces a compounding effect on the total rate of return net of management fees. [As an example, the effect of management fees on the total value of an investor’s portfolio assuming a) quarterly fee assessment, b) $1,000,000 investment, c) portfolio return of 8% a year, and d) 1.00% annual investment management fee would be $10,416 in the first year, and cumulatively $59,816 over five years and $143,430 over ten years.] Net Performance: Performance shown net of fees is calculated after the deduction of management fees and other applicable expenses. The risk information provided herein is not sufficient to support an investment decision, and is qualified in its entirety by the more complete disclosures, risk factors and other terms available upon request from AXA Investment Managers. Representative Accounts: Such accounts have been selected based on objective, non-performance based criteria, including, but not limited to the size and the overall duration of the management of the account, the type of investment strategies and the asset selection procedures in place. Therefore, the results portrayed relate only to such accounts and are not indicative of the future performance of such accounts or other accounts, products and/or services described herein. In addition, these results may be similar to the applicable GIPS composite results, but they are not identical and are not being presented as such. Account performance will vary based upon the inception date of the account, restrictions on the account, along with other factors, and may not equal the performance of the representative accounts presented herein. The performance results for representative accounts are gross of all fees and do reflect the reinvestment of dividends or other earnings. The examples of securities provided for each representative account presentation are for illustrative purposes only and are intended to reflect the typical securities, sectors, and/or geographies that could be deployed by the strategy to generate the target returns. These examples do not represent all of the securities purchased, sold or recommended for the client’s accounts, and should not be considered a buy/sell recommendation.
