Italian taxation

Effective rate on capital gains

26.00%

White-list share

not applicable

Equity fund per the issuer-declared asset class: it cannot hold «white list» government bonds, so capital gains are taxed at the full 26% Italian rate. That is why the issuer publishes no semi-annual certificate.

Stock exchange listings

Exchanges with a ticker available

Exchange	Ticker	Exchange source
Issuer’s reference exchange	WCGHfrom the issuer	issuer’s product list (listing not recorded in FIRDS)

from the issuer — ticker declared by the issuer in its product list.

Each row is one exchange: the operator with all its markets and segments (regulated market and Freiverkehr included). “Registered since”: admission date in the ESMA register (FIRDS), not necessarily the first trading day; a dash = date not recorded in the sources.

Exchanges are taken from the official ESMA register (FIRDS) and, where FIRDS does not cover the exchange (London, Zurich) or does not record the current listing, from the issuers’ product lists and documents: the “Exchange source” column says so row by row. Each exchange is a single row, with all its markets and segments. Tickers come from the issuers’ product lists and tax documents or, where indicated, from ISIN→exchange mapping under the open FIGI standard (OpenFIGI). Activity on a dark book, an auction or an ancillary platform does not prove a listing on the exchange that operates it. Rebalix mainly covers venues in the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United Kingdom: when the issuer declares current listings in other jurisdictions too, they appear with their source, outside the ESMA register perimeter. Terminated or cancelled listings are not shown. The same fund may trade in different currencies depending on the exchange: check the trading currency with your broker.
