The minimum subscription is EUR 10,000. Fund units do not generate OP bonuses. The fund pays the management and custody fees of the underlying fund unit investments.

The Fund Management Company receives a maximum of twenty (20) per cent of the amount by which the Fund exceeds the performance of the Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index (EUR) Index. However,a performance-based fee is not charged if the Fund’s value performance across five (5) years is negative compared to the Index. The length of this reference period is the same as the Fund’s period in operation, until the Fund has been operating for five (5) years. A performance-based fee may be charged even if the value of the fund unit decreases during the review period.

Confirmation of subscriptions and redemptions

Fund subscriptions and redemptions are confirmed four times a year: on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December. Valuation of funds generally takes 45 days, after which you can view confirmed subscriptions and redemptions in your portfolio.

When you order a fund subscription, it will be confirmed by 16.00 on the final banking day of the quarter. The subscription will be executed at the unit value quoted on the last banking day of the quarter. For example, if you order a subscription on 1 April, it will be confirmed on 30 June.

If you order a fund redemption by 16.00 on the last banking day of a given quarter, the redemption will be confirmed at the unit value quoted on the last banking day of the following quarter. For example, if you order a redemption by 16.00 on 30 June, it will be confirmed on 30 September.

Investment policy

The purpose of the R2 Crystal special common fund is to achieve a high return in the long term, relative to the risks taken by the Fund. The Fund seeks to achieve an efficient risk-return ratio and mainly invests its assets in hedge funds with a moderate risk and a favourable risk-return ratio.

The aim of the Fund is to achieve a high overall return under normal market conditions, not directly dependent on trends in the equity or interest markets. The actual risk-return ratio of the fund depends on several factors, such as a correct view of the market, successful strategy, accurate fund selection and risk management. Investment selection focuses on return potential but also on ways to spread the overall risk of the portfolio. The fund’s assets are normally invested in 10 to 25 hedge funds.

The fund is a special common fund as referred to in the Act on Common Funds, since it may invest in investment products not allowed for mutual funds in accordance with the UCITS Directive. The fund typically applies leverage in its investment activities.

If the fund is marketed outside Finland, OP Fund Management Company Ltd may decide to end such marketing. The information presented on this page does not fully describe all the fund’s characteristics.
