VCH Expert Natural Resources (WKN: AOBL7N), the most important fund product
of Altira's subsidiary VCH Investment Group AG, celebrated its third
birthday last week. The fund has earned numerous accolades during these
three years. Since its inception, the fund has achieved performance of +
208 per cent and outperformed the index by more than 118 per cent, thereby
consistently placing in one of the top positions in its peer group. This
outperformance was not achieved in a few extraordinarily good weeks, but
through steady growth since the fund's inception. This makes VCH Expert
Natural Resources one of the best in its segment or, according to the
International Herald Tribune, 'Europe's best commodities fund'. Unlike many
competing products, VCH Expert Natural Resources is broadly diversified and
invests in all types of primary commodity producer shares: gold and other
precious and non-precious metals, oil and natural gas, as well as
agricultural, forestry, and food companies. As a result, it is possible to
compensate for weakness in one sector by shifting investments into other
areas.

The TELOS ratings agency assigned the fund an outstanding 'AA' rating just
in time for its birthday. The fund had previously earned an 'A' rating from
Standard & Poor's, and was awarded two Sauren gold medals in the 'commodity
equities' category.

The assets under management by the fund, currently at a level of EUR 218
million, should therefore continue to develop favourably in the future.
