“ I am interested in the opportunities offered by investment, but concerned that I lack the time

and expertise to get involved. Many people enjoy managing their own investments. But I

lack the knowledge or the time to play the markets. This is why I invest in the ABN AMRO

Profile Funds. They make investing easy.”

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.
