  2. AXA World FundsEuro credit short duration solutions As at 31/05/10 * Performance indicator given as a basis for comparison only, the fund does not have a reference index ** Assuming no active interest rate bets by the portfolio manager. Where the duration of theportfolio differs from the performance indicator’s duration based on the portfolio manager’s active investment strategy, the residual duration of the Redex Share classes might be slightly different from zero. *** Tactical exposure of up to 30% of the fund’s net assets in sub-investment grade bonds with a maximumtracking error of 2% relative to the fund’s performance indicator. **** Defined as the fund’s net asset value sensitivity to movements in market credit spreads.

  3. Redex Share Classes Basic principles (as applied to AXA WF Euro Credit IG & AXA WF Euro Credit Plus) Standard share classes mainly sensitive to: Redex overlay strategy Redex share classes mainly sensitive to: Fund’s portfolio Long Euro Corporate Bonds Credit spread Credit Spread of the portfolio Same as for the standard share classes = Swap Spread of the portfolio - Swap spread Sensitivity measured by the “remaining duration” resulting from the conjunction of the portfolio manager’s active investment strategy and the Redex overlay strategy Nominal interest rate variations Govies yield Sell duration exposure of the performance indicator (EUR 5Y futures) Actively managed by the fund’s portfolio manager Systematically managed by a specialist quantitative team whose objective is to substantially reduce the fund’s sensitivity to nominal interest rate shifts. • Redex share class target duration of 0 (i.e. assuming no active investment rate investment strategy). *The Merrill Lynch EMU Corporate 1-7 (for AXA WF Euro Credit IG) and the Merrill Lynch EMU Corportate 1-10 (for AXA WF Euro Credit Plus) are performance indicators given as a basis for comparison only. These funds do not have a reference index.

  4. Redex Share Classes An investor-friendly concept • One fund with various share classes: • Standard share classe are fully exposed to interest rate variations. • Redex share classes are only partially exposed to interest rate variations. • Creating Redex share classes within an already existing fund allows for: • Investors to benefit from the track record and robust investment process of the fund whilst limiting investment size issues. • Easy and no-cost share class-switching over time, based on investors’ needs in terms of duration

  5. Active management Redex and standard share classes • Redex shares are less sensitive than Standard shares to the variation in nominal interest rates, but remain fully exposed to the other perfomance drivers, including the active interest rate strategy implemented by the portfolio manager • The Redex overlay strategy is managed by a specialist quantitative team within AXA IM Investment Solutions • The fund’s portfolio manager is not involved in managing the overlay strategy and remains entirely focused on the management and alpha generation of the Euro credit portfolio. Credit Curve Positioning (5%) CDS hedge or diversification (5%) Interest rate shift and curve (5%) Structure selection (5%) Sector selection (40%) Issuer selection (40%) • AXA WF Euro Credit Plus has a greater exposure to credit risk than AXA WF Euro Credit IG and AXA WF Euro Credit Short Duration, as shown by the fund’s credit spread (X%) Performance drivers breakdown (estimated)

Conversely, when interest rates • decline along the curve, the market value of fixed-income securities tends to increase, as a result, the Net Asset Value of the standard Shares tend to • increase. Long-term fixed-income securities will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term securities. The aim of the listed • derivatives overlay strategy implemented at the Redex Share Class level is to reduce the exposure to interest rates parallel shifts along the curves. • There fore, the impact of interest rates parallel shifts on the Redex Share Net Asset Value tends to be reduced compared to the impact of such move • on the standard Shares. When interest rates increase, as the market value of fixed-income securities tends to decline, the market value of the overlay • strategy tends to increase, as a result the impact of the interest rates increase on the value of the Redex Shares tends to be more limited. Conversely, • when interest rates decline, the market value of fixed-income securities tends to increase, and the market value of the overlay strategy tends to • decrease as a result the impact of the interest rates decrease on the value of the Redex Shares tends to be more limited. • Depending on the investment strategy used the information contained herein may be more detailed than the information disclosed in the prospectus.
