In recent weeks, Altira AG ('Altira Group'), an asset management company
focused on alternative investment strategies, announced new cooperations
and products in its traditional retail funds business.

VCH Vermögensverwaltung AG ('VCH'), the Altira Group investment team
specialising in future markets through its investment funds, has been
chosen as the advisor to the fund management of 'SI ÖkoSelect', a fund
launched by the Signal Iduna subsidiary HANSAINVEST Hanseatische
Investment-GmbH on 2 June 2009. The fund invests worldwide in equities and
equity funds as well as non-listed companies in the renewable energy
sector, where VCH has a special expertise, allowing SI ÖkoSelect to invest
much more broadly than most of its competitors - in addition to
'traditional' alternative energies such as solar and wind power, the fund
also focuses on technologies for increased energy efficiency, energy
storage as well as for water supply.

In cooperation with the institutional asset management division of
Berenberg Bank and with DJE Kapital AG, Patriarch Multi-Manager GmbH
('Patriarch'), the Altira Group investment team that designs equities-based
funds-of-funds for private client asset accumulation, has launched a new
product, the capital protection fund 'Patriarch Multi Asset Dynamisch'. The
fund consists of an active base investment which invests exclusively in
international equity funds and is managed by DJE Kapital AG. 10% of fund
assets will, however, be utilised, independent of the DJE Kapital AG
portfolio management, for active risk management by the institutional asset
management division of Berenberg Bank, Germany's oldest private bank. This
is the first time Berenberg is providing risk management for a
fund-of-funds targeted towards private investors.

Michael Rieder, CEO of Altira Group: 'We are looking forward to
collaborating with such renowned partners as the Signal Iduna subsidiary
HANSAINVEST as well as the Berenberg Bank and view these cooperations as
confirmation of our strategy. Renewable energy, in particular, is one of
our core topics and we see further significant potential in this sector,
which will have a positive effect on our growth trend'.
