*This is a summary of the Basic SIEFORE's current regulation and it is for explanatory purposes only. Additional SIEFORE's (e.g. voluntary savings) can determine different parameters according to their prospectus and in compliance with the SAR Law.

1. All limits represent maximum percentages, with the exception of the inflation protection limit.
2. As a percentage of SIEFORE assets under management (AUM), the limits for the Difference of the Conditional VaR may be adjusted by the Risk Analysis Committee when appropriate, which might be more rigorous than the limits established in the Investment Regimen guidelines.
3. As a percentage of the High Liquid Assets of the SIEFORE. It is defined as the ratio between the Value of the SIEFORE's reserves for derivatives exposure and the Value of High Liquid Assets.
4. Calculated in accordance with the methodology provided in the “Disposiciones de Carácter General en Materia Financiera de los Sistemas de Ahorro para el Retiro”. The Tracking Error may have a range of modification determined by the Risk Analysis Committee.
5. As a percentage of SIEFORE AUM’s, including the assets managed by Investment Mandates.
6. Rating of the medium- and long-term issuances, as well as the issuer and/or endorser, in the corresponding proportion. Repos and derivatives are computed in these limits, as well. SPE stands for State Productive Enterprises.
7. Investment in foreign instruments with a rating no less than BBB- are allowed, however the SIEFORES must comply with the “Disposiciones del Régimen de Inversión y en las Disposiciones en materia financiera”.
8. 35% Applies to the asset holdings of all SIEFORE’s managed by the same AFORE in Debt, Foreign Debt Securities, Securitized Instruments, ABS’s, Mutual Funds and FIBRAS. For Debt Instruments, Foreign Debt Securities and Securitized Instruments, SIEFORES may acquire the value that is greater between one hundred and twenty million UDIS and 35% of the same issue. The investment in CKDs and CERPIs may exceed this limit, under certain conditions. The maximum amount will be updated in accordance with the “Disposiciones de Carácter General en Materia Financiera de los Sistemas de Ahorro para el Retiro.
9. The limits represent the maximum limit that each asset will take during the trajectory.
10. Includes individual shares, IPOs, domestic and international equity indexes and warrants included in the list of Indexes, and bonds mandatorily convertible into shares of domestic issuers. The Basic Pension SIEFOREs must comply with the provisions stablished in the “Disposiciones del Régimen de Inversión y en las Disposiciones de Carácter General en Materia Financiera.”.
11. Securitizations fulfilling criteria established in the Appendix R of the “Disposiciones de Carácter General en Materia Financiera de los Sistemas de Ahorro para el Retiro” are computed in these limits, and are considered as being issued by an independent issuer.
12. Includes CKDs and CERPIs.
