ABN AMRO Profile Fundsfor people who want to invest the easy way
Which ways of investment suits me?
Making the best choices If you’re interested in investing, there are bound to
be things you should consider before you proceed.
Willingness to do things the right way is only the start;
knowing how requires a high level of expertise and
understanding of the financial markets. Which investments
or investment funds are the top performers? Which
investment approach suits you best? And who can
help you make the choices that are right for you?
Your world of investmentWith the expertise of ABN AMRO Advisors behind you, the
whole world of investing is yours to explore. ABN AMRO
Advisors will select the investment products and fund
houses that are best suited to you. These fund houses
include leading firms such as Fidelity, JP Morgan and
Robeco. ABN AMRO Advisors will select investments to
suit various risk profiles: the ABN AMRO Profile Funds.
Introducing the ABN AMRO Profile FundsThe ABN AMRO Profile Funds have been developed for
everyone who wants to invest the easy way. In a nutshell,
you choose one of the funds and the team at ABN AMRO
Advisors does the rest.
ABN AMRO Advisors – the organisation behind the
profile funds – is a highly respected international asset
manager specialising in independent investment fund
research. All the investment funds chosen by ABN AMRO
Advisors are selected on the basis of thorough research.
Multiple factors, such as past performance, prospects for
the future and the qualities of the management team,
are taken into account.
There are six profile funds: for the investor who wants to
minimise risks, for the investor who seeks adventure,
and for everyone in between. On the following pages,
you will find information about the various profile funds
and their composition. However, it is impossible to tell
you everything you might want to know in a brochure
such as this. More detailed information about the funds
and their associated risks is presented in the prospectus
and Key Investor Information Document (KIID). You are
strongly advised to read this material before making up
your mind, so that you can reach a sound investment
decision. The prospectus and KIID are available from
abnamro.nl/profielfondsen

No two investors are alike.
No two investors are alike. Before you start investing,
you need to decide what sort of investment is right for
you. You determine in advance what risk profile is most
appropriate for your personal circumstances and investment
objectives. The profile funds are aligned with ABN AMRO’s
risk profiles. Even if you already have a risk profile, we
recommend checking whether it’s still right for you. For
example, have your personal or financial circumstances
changed? If so, you may need to change your risk profile
as well. Then simply choose the profile fund that goes
with your new risk profile.
Step 1. What kind of investor are you? With the ABN AMRO Profile Funds, you decide how to
invest. There is always a profile fund that’s right for you.
Do you worry when stock markets fall? Or do you like
to sail a little closer to the wind? How certain do you
want to be about the future value of your investments?
By answering a few questions, you can establish which
risk profile fits you best. Again, if you already have a risk
profile, please check whether it is still appropriate for
your personal circumstances and investment objectives.
For further information, see: abnamro.nl/profielfondsen
Step 2. Which profile fund is right for you? Each of the six profile funds is made up of investments in
several asset classes: equities, real estate, fixed income
and/or cash. The fund can invest in fixed income, equities
and money market instruments directly, through financial
derivatives or through undertakings for collective investment
in transferable securities (including exchange-traded index
funds). It may also make modest cash investments. The
allocation to the various asset classes differs from one profile
to the next. It may also shift over time, depending on stock
market conditions and interest rates. Each profile fund’s asset
allocation reflects the associated risk profile. The make-up
of the profile funds is also aligned with ABN AMRO’s
policies. Profile Fund 1 focuses on the lowest-risk
investments and includes no equity investments at all.
Profile Fund 6 has the highest-risk strategy, based entirely
on equities.

Profile Fund 1 Very defensive
Strategic allocation across asset classes per 2012.
This allocation may change in the future.
Are you looking to get a better return than offered by a
savings account while minimising the risk? If so, a very
defensive portfolio will suit you best. This portfolio is
made up of cash and fixed-income investments, without
any equities. You should invest for a period of at least
two years.
Profile Fund 2 Defensive
Strategic allocation across asset classes per 2012.
This allocation may change in the future.
Are you willing and able to take a little more risk and can
you invest over a longer period? In that case, a defensive
portfolio is your best option. With a defensive portfolio,
you invest largely in fixed-income and cash instruments,
but a very small proportion of your capital is also put into
equities and real estate. The minimum recommended
investment horizon is five years.
Profile Fund 3 Moderately defensive
Strategic allocation across asset classes per 2012.
This allocation may change in the future.
Although you are not strongly risk averse, you want the
risks kept within certain limits and spread over a longer
period. If that’s you, the answer is a mixed portfolio
with the emphasis on fixed-income investments, plus a
modest amount in equities. You are advised to commit
your money for at least seven years.
Profile Fund 4 Moderately offensive
Strategic allocation across asset classes per 2012.
This allocation may change in the future.
You understand the risks and recognise the opportunities
involved in investing in equities. Because you are willing
to accept a little more risk, a moderately offensive portfolio
is probably right for you. This implies that more of your
capital will be invested in equities than in fixed-income
products. To benefit fully, you should expect to invest
for at least ten years.

Profile Fund 5 Offensive
Strategic allocation across asset classes per 2012.
This allocation may change in the future.
The potential of a higher return is important to you. With
an offensive portfolio made up mainly of equities, with
fewer fixed-income products, you have that potential.
The corresponding risks are something you’re willing to
accept. Anyone who chooses an offensive portfolio should
be willing to commit their capital for a minimum of twelve
years.
Profile Fund 6 Very offensive
Strategic allocation across asset classes per 2012.
This allocation may change in the future.
Pursuing high returns is your main investment goal. For
the greatest chance of high earnings in the longer term,
your best choice is a very offensive portfolio, made up
almost entirely of equities. You accept the substantial
risks that go with such investments. The minimum
recommended investment horizon is fifteen years.
Step 3. Once you’ve made your choiceOnce you have decided on the profile fund that suits you
best, ABN AMRO does the rest. Our experts will ensure
that your profile fund continues to reflect your attitude to
investment. They constantly monitor the markets, picking up
on any significant developments in trading or interest rates.
Whenever important changes are observed, ABN AMRO
Advisors will adjust the composition of your profile fund.
This leaves you free to focus on other things.
RisksABN AMRO offers investors six different profile funds.
The six funds reflect the profiles used in ABN AMRO
Bank’s central investment policy for private investors.
Taking your risk profile into account, you select the
profile fund that’s right for you, with the help of your
financial advisor.
▶ The profile funds range from ‘very defensive’ to ‘very
offensive’; the more offensive a fund, the bigger the
related risk. Each profile fund has a different asset
allocation across cash, fixed income, indirect real
estate and equities. Bands have been defined for
these asset classes at the profile fund level. Profile
Fund 1 invests mainly in short-term, fixed-income
securities, such as deposits and bonds. As a result,
investing through profile fund 1 involves the least
risk. By contrast, Profile Fund 6 invests mainly in
equities and consequently is associated with the
highest risk.
▶ The profile funds may invest in emerging markets.
This can increase the risk due to above-average
volatility, a higher level of concentration, reduced
availability of information, lower liquidity and greater
market sensitivity.
▶ The profile funds do not provide you with dividends
or other earnings along the way. Any income from the
investments is reinvested in the fund.
▶ The profile funds are not listed on any stock exchange.
That means you can only buy and sell units in these
funds through ABN AMRO.
▶ The value of your investment can fluctuate considerably.
Past results are no guarantee of future performance.
