ebi Global Factor Fund of Funds range
For professional advisers only
ebi Global Factor Fund
The ebi Global Factor Fund are two multi-asset funds managed by Amundi, with ebi serving as investment adviser. Each fund invests in carefully selected underlying funds, providing diversified global equity exposure through a single unitised investment built on an evidence-based factor investing approach.
Using the same ESG-screened, factor-tilted investment methodology that underpins our award-winning Earth portfolios¹, the funds give advisers access to a structured investment solution supported by ongoing portfolio oversight and governance.
A structure that can support tax-efficient investing
For clients investing through a General Investment Account (GIA), the Global Factor Fund of Funds offers a structural benefit.
Portfolio rebalancing takes place within the fund rather than at investor level, so routine portfolio adjustments do not trigger a personal Capital Gains Tax (CGT) event.

Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in future.
Why the Global Factor Fund?
The Global Factor Fund brings together evidence-based factor investing, ESG screening and a professionally managed, unitised fund of funds structure within a single investment.
This combination gives advisers access to a differentiated approach to diversified global equity investing. Instead of allocating capital purely according to market capitalisation, the portfolio combines exposure to multiple established investment factors using a systematic investment approach.
As a result, the portfolio will typically have different characteristics from a traditional market-capitalisation-weighted strategy, including lower concentration in some of the largest companies.

Why a fund of funds structure?
A fund of funds is a single investment that invests in a carefully selected range of underlying funds rather than directly in individual securities.
For advisers, this means diversified global equity exposure through one professionally managed investment. This simplifies implementation, portfolio management and administration while reducing the need to select and monitor multiple individual funds.

Fund details and charges
The Global Factor Fund prides itself on being a cost-effective solution within a simple structure.
The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF) is the cost the investor pays for the management and running costs of the fund.
ebi has worked closely with all of its fund managers to gain access to lower cost share classes for the constituent funds used within the Global Factor Fund range, offering significant discounts typically not
available for retail investors to purchase directly.
A summary of the two funds in the range, offered in both GBP Accumulation and GBP income share classes, is as follows:
| Fund/Share Class | ISIN | Fund OCF¹ | Transaction costs² | Fund OCF + Transaction costs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Global Factor 60 GBP Acc | LU3298821870 | 0.38% | 0.04% | 0.42% |

All figures rounded to two decimal places.
Please note that there is the possibility for redemption gates to be applied for funds in which the Global Factor Funds invest. A redemption gate is a temporary measure whereby a fund manager can limit withdrawals from a fund, usually as a result of price volatility or strained trading conditions. However, historically there have been no cases of redemption gates being applied for funds in which ebi invests, with redemption gating seen to be a very unlikely event applied only in extreme market or trading conditions.
Other charges may apply, including but not limited to, platform and advisory fees.

Frequently asked questions
1. What makes the Global Factor Fund different from the Earth portfolios?
The Global Factor Fund applies the same investment methodology as the Earth portfolios within a unitised fund of funds structure. The investment objectives, portfolio construction and fund structure differ.
2. Why doesn’t the portfolio simply track a global equity index?
The strategy allocates according to multiple investment factors rather than market capitalisation. As a result, portfolio characteristics and performance will differ from market-capitalisation-weighted indices.
3. Will performance be the same as the Earth portfolios?
The funds of funds follow the same disciplined, factor-based methodology as the Earth strategies. While identical outcomes cannot be guaranteed, the aim is to deliver comparable risk and return profiles over the long term.
4. How are ESG considerations incorporated?
The underlying investment methodology includes ESG screening as part of the portfolio construction process.
5. What are the tax implications?
Portfolio rebalancing takes place within the fund of funds structure rather than at investor level, so routine rebalancing does not trigger a personal Capital Gains Tax event at the point of rebalancing.
Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in future.

Amundi is one of Europe’s largest asset managers, offering a broad range of investment solutions to institutional, corporate and retail clients worldwide.

Disclaimer
Capital at risk. The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may not get back the amount you invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations, which can result in significant capital losses. Bond prices are sensitive to interest rate changes. If interest rates rise, bond prices typically fall, which can result in capital losses. ESG investments, while aiming to consider environmental, social, and governance factors, may not outperform traditional investments. High-risk investments carry a greater risk of capital loss and may not be suitable for all investors. This information is for financial professionals only.

Investor Information
Prospective investors should read the Fund’s Prospectus and Key Information Document (KID) carefully before making any investment decision. These documents contain important information on the fund’s objectives, risks, and charges and should be reviewed in full to ensure the investment is suitable for the investor’s circumstances.
The fund of funds invests primarily in other collective investment schemes that are UCITS-compliant. As a result, the fund’s performance and risk profile will depend on the performance of those underlying funds and the investment decisions made by their managers. Investing through a fund of funds structure may lead to indirect exposure to certain asset classes, markets, or counterparties, and may result in overlapping investments or concentration in particular areas. The fund will bear its own charges in addition to the fees and expenses of the underlying funds, which may increase the overall cost of investment.
The fund’s ability to meet redemptions depends on the liquidity of its underlying investments. Although the fund aims to invest in daily-dealing UCITS funds, some underlying funds may deal less frequently or restrict redemptions during periods of market stress. In exceptional circumstances, underlying funds may apply liquidity management tools such as redemption gates or suspensions, which could delay or limit the Fund’s own redemptions.
