Gold bullion: back to basics Structural macro issues intact... The playground consisting of: Competitive devaluations Low real interest rates and Money supply (decelerating rate of growth presently) remains very supportive of a sustainable growth in the price of gold. Any reacceleration of the money supply will stress the depth of the uptrend. Source : US Federal Reserve

Gold mines vs. Physical gold FACTS: Since 2000, gold mining companies outperformed gold bullion 44% of the time (6/13,5). After 2 years of outperformance (2009 – 2010), gold mining companies underperformed gold in 2011, 2012 and YTD. MUCH WORSE: they delivered negative absolute returns in 2011 and 2012 while gold progressed at a double digit pace AND they demonstrated an erosion of their excess return in uptrend markets since 2006. SEPTEMBRE 2009

Gold mines vs. Physical gold Annual Performance (net, in USD, as of 04/30/13) SEPTEMBRE 2009

Gold mines vs. Physical gold YES, Gold mining companies are undervalued on a relative and absolute basis on many criterias: Gold index / Gold bullion Historical profitability levels (operating margins, net margins) NAV multiples US$ value of an ounce in the ground Mkt K / oz produced SEPTEMBRE 2009

Gold mines vs. Physical gold Gold mining companies have been penalized for not being able to deliver the expected historical leverage resulting from a higher gold price. Despite a historical high profitability (19% of net margins in Q1 2013), the latter have stagnated these last two years while gold price increased by 13% over the same period. THE REAL QUESTION: will gold mines regain their historical leverage? many fundamental elements demonstrate that the mining industry understood the message sent by the investment community and several managerial strategic decisions made in the last few months validate this point These decisions have a double objective: rationalize the operations and reduce the dilution that plagued the industry. SEPTEMBRE 2009

Gold mines vs. Physical gold Many board of Directors made their top executives redundant: among other names, Kinross Gold, Barrick Gold Corp. Newmont Mining Corp. or d’Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd., Centerra Gold Inc. or Great Basin Gold. Very recently, Allied Nevada Gold Corp. and Newcrest Mining Ltd. made similar announcements. The carnage in the junior space (index down 70% from its 2011 high) triggered a wave of strategic investments by senior and intermediate producers: this is the case of Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. making investments in Sulliden Gold Corp., Probe Mines Ltd*, or Atac* Resources Ltd.* and Teck Resources Ltd. financing True Gold Mining Inc*.   The focus is on cost controls: Barrick Gold Corp. reduced its overhead costs by $100 million and identified $500 million of further reductions to expenditures; Osisko Mining Corp. announced a decrease of $80 million in discretionary spending; Yamana Gold Inc. targeted a costs reduction of US$150 per oz in 2013. Iamgold Corp. initiated a program to reduce annual spending by $100 million. * 8% cumulative weight in the Global Gold and Precious fund SEPTEMBRE 2009

Gold mines vs. Physical gold Heads-up announcements are made in respect to potential closures of marginal operations should gold prices deteriorate further: this is the case of Hochschild Mining PLC. Gold mines initiated share buyback programs: this is the case of Alamos Gold Inc. (which offered to purchase for cancellation up to 10% of the public float of its outstanding common shares) or Eldorado Gold Corp. (up to 5% of the public float). The impact of a lower gold price already impacted Q1 2013 marginal operations, with Elgin Mining Inc., Aurizon Mines Ltd., Lake Shore Gold Corp., Jaguar Mining Inc. or Gabriel Resources Ltd. releasing losses for the quarter.   New phenomena in the precious metal industry, the involvement of activist shareholders: this is the case of the Clinton Group, Inc. which demanded changes to the strategy, operations and management at Stillwater Mining Company, mentioning a series of « strategic missteps » and « bad acquisitions » SEPTEMBRE 2009

Global Gold & Precious Key facts The Fund objective is to provide investors with quality excess return in comparison to the FTSE Gold Mines Index composite. The Fund manager is responsible for the stock selection and focuses mainly on 'large cap' stocks listed on the North-American, Australian and South African stocks exchanges and which are engaged in the prospection, the extraction or the transformation of precious metals.

Take Away – Global Gold & Precious Positive gold sector fundamentals still in place to achieve superior return despite short term strategic headwinds. We will NOT pick the bottom BUT the risk reward theme for holding gold mines lies strongly on the latter due to structural improvements at the corporate level The fund has reached its optimum exposure to the junior sector with a 49% allocation Active management style that benefits from the high-skilled portfolio manager ability to select stocks within the production and exploration sub-sectors 22 years of industry experience for the portfolio manager 12-year track-record, with first-class French industry awards +2,58% of outperformance per year vs. FTSE Gold Mines Index (period: 07/21/00 – 05/29/13) WITH similar volatility SEPTEMBRE 2009
