Simply fill out the subscription form, send it to CACEIS and make a bank transfer for the amount of the subscription.
You can find it together with the prospectus here on the site. Fill it in and send it to:
CACEIS Belgium

If this is a first subscription through CACEIS then you must also add a two sided copy of your ID-card and a proof of residence.
Since 2015, worldwide financial institutions are obliged to obtain and report certain information to allow the US tax authorities to establish whether ultimate beneficial owners and/or organisations are liable to pay US taxes. Please note that this is a standard procedure and eligible to anybody investing in investment funds. You can reply by filling in the (W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) forms as provided. In case of any questions, please contact us.
Your name will be added to the share register of the fund, you will receive a contract note with the details of the transaction, a yearly state of your portfolio and you will be personally invited to the General Assembly.
You subscribe for an amount (the minimum investment amount is 5000€), and not for a number of shares or units. The reason is that your subscription will only be accepted once the funds have been received by CACEIS, and you cannot know the exact amount corresponding with a certain number of units beforehand: the NAV is only calculated àfter the subscription cut-off. Once the NAV is known CACEIS will calculate how many units correspond to your subscription amount, to three decimal places.
You transfer the amount of the subscription to account BE47817000045680 (BIC: ISAEBEBB) on the name of Aphilion Q² - Equities with reference "subscription Aphilion - Equities"; or to account BE25817000045882 (BIC: ISAEBEBB) on the name of Aphilion Q² - Balance with reference "subscription Aphilion - Balance". A direct subscription will never incur up-front fees.
This is the most convenient way. You ask your bank to subscribe to the Belgian sicav "Aphilion Q² - Equities" with ISIN-code BE0058285850, or on "Aphilion Q² - Balance" with ISIN-code BE6270159799 and financial agent CACEIS Belgium.
Your bank should know how to proceed, but should any questions arise they can always contact Michael Hawkins, CACEIS, on +32 2209.26.45. The bank can charge an up-front fee that is negotiable but with a maximum of 2.5%.
Subscriptions are also possible through a fund platform: the Aphilion Q² funds are available at online brokers Keytrade, Binck, or MeDirect.
