Annual Report 2010

The leading investment company for sustainable investments, Sustainable Performance Group (SPG), had a challenging year with a negative performance for 2010 of 26.3%. The portfolio performance was affected mainly by developments in the portfolio segments "healthy living" and "energy". While investments in healthy living developed rather positively, share price development of renewable energy companies was disappointing. Currency losses in the main investment regions (particularly EURO and USD) against the Swiss Franc compounded the difficulties this year.

In the wake of the Japanese disaster it is anticipated that global nuclear risks will be reassessed. This will give an upswing to the energy portfolio segment of SPG in the areas of gas, energy efficiency and renewable energies, respectively. Despite a good start to the new year 2011, the Board of Directors is certainly not satisfied with SPG's performance, particularly since the beginning of the financial crisis in autumn 2008. Therefore, the Board has comprehensively reviewed the SPG's investment strategy and will inform the public about the review and its conclusions at the Annual General Meeting .

11th International Sustainability Leadership Symposium - 28 September 2010: "Financing the Transformation to a Low-Carbon Economy"
As a member of The Sustainability Forum Zurich (TSF), SPG invites you to this high-level event. Thirty speakers and 150 representatives of the international financial community and the real economy will discuss ways of facilitating the structural change needed to create an energy-efficient economy based on clean technologies and renewable energy sources. The investment needs, opportunities and risks associated with climate change and energy scarcity will be analysed. The essential issues include raising and allocating the necessary capital as well as determining the appropriate investment vehicles and financing models (e.g. leasing schemes). Practitioners will elucidate structural barriers like the absence of life-cycle costing, the lack of certain technologies and of political leadership.

SPG Semi-Annual Report 2010
The reverberations of the financial and debt crises had a negative impact on stock markets during the first half of the year. SPG also was not immune to these developments, as reflected in a negative performance for the SPG share of 11.6% in the first six months of 2010. Despite the unsatisfactory performance during this period, the SPG share showed attractive prospective valuation ratios as of the end of June. In other words: SPG shareholders invest in companies with above-average growth potential but only slightly higher valuations compared to the global s tock market index MSCI.

Annual Report 2009

The leading investment company for sustainable investments, Sustainable Performance Group (SPG), generated an investment return of 17.9% in 2009. The net asset value (NAV) of the portfolio holdings increased by 19.4%. As of December 31, 2009, the SPG share was trading at a premium of 4.5% over its NAV. This figure reflects investors' confidence in the share and endorses the strategic positioning and above-average growth potential of the portfolio holdings. SPG's strong performance was driven mostly by its exposure to the energy and healthy living themes. The positive development of the water investment theme reflects the increasingly acute global water challenge.

SPG Annual Report 2008

Latest Quarterly Report
2008 will go down in economic history as an exceptionally volatile year in which heavy losses were unfortunately made. Equity markets finally managed to halt their downward slide in December, and some even finished the year in positive territory. No one knows when the market will start to rally again. We think that when confidence is eventually restored in financial markets, this will provide an additional boost to the theme of sustainability. Here the four key SPG investment clusters - Energy, Water, Healthy Living and Resource efficiency will be particularly important going forward.
SPG Quarterly Report 04/2008

Performance Group (SPG) 3rd Quarterly Report 2008
Rarely have the equity markets experienced such dramatic turmoil as in the past weeks. Whether or not the various measures being taken by the international community are sufficient to calm the financial markets remains to be seen. It is all the more important to bear in mind that, despite the current financial crisis and slowdown in economic growth, global challenges such as water shortages, the fight against climate change through the production of renewable energy or energy efficient technologies, as well as the growing need for resource-efficient and innovative materials will not lose their significance.

In the third quarter of 2008, SPG was unable to escape the downtrend that has ensued as a result of the widespread uncertainty in the capital markets, and especially the equity markets. Investors' increased aversion to risk has led to large price declines most notably in cyclical shares, small-cap companies and emerging-market stocks. Today, however, the possible true value of SPG's portfolio (a PEG ratio of 0.5; i.e. the P/E divided by the average anticipated growth rate) continues to offer tremendous potential for the future.

Even in these volatile times, SPG has encountered hardly any cash outflows and trades at an above-average premium. SPG is convinced that with its four investment themes - renewable energy, water, healthy living and resource efficiency - the portfolio is excellently positioned to benefit from the next upturn and that, once confidence in the financial markets revives, it will participate in the growth of companies focused on sustainability issues.

Semi-Annual Report 2007
Sustainable Performance Group can look back on a very successful first half of 2007. The share price rose 20.9%, outperforming the benchmark MSCI World ex Financials by more than 9%.
With the physical effects of global warming becoming more visible and obvious, investors have switched their attention increasingly to the four key strategic themes focused on by the Sustainable Performance Group: Energy, Water, Healthy Living and Resource Efficiency. This trend is likely to gather momentum in future, as industry and commerce gradually realise that measures must be undertaken to combat progressive climate change. Please find detailed information in the SPG Semi-Annual Report 2007.
