INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT

Loose monetary policy dominated market developments in spring and summer of 2019. In addition, there was

progress in the Sino-US trade talks. These developments created positive investor sentiment and resulted in a

tailwind for global stock markets, which quickly recovered from their double-digit losses at the end of 2018.

Indices even went on to reach new highs after the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates in July for the first time

since the end of the financial crisis. In contrast, overall economic data remained mixed to disappointing.

Although the US economy proved to be robust, the plunging leading indicators - especially for the European

manufacturing sector - caused uncertainty. Therefore, it is no surprise that earnings estimates were constantly

revised downward over the course of the year. Moreover, geopolitical risk came to the forefront again. In the

period between May and July 2019 the market environment was very favorable for fixed income asset classes.

Sovereign bond yields continued to move lower on the back of a dovish turn by the Federal Reserve (Fed) and

the European Central Bank (ECB). Corporate credit spreads tightened further in the investment grade area. In

currencies, the British Pound and the Australian Dollar underperformed. The Euro was solid and appreciated

versus the US Dollar. At the beginning of August, Washington extended customs duties to almost all Chinese

imports into the US. Shortly thereafter, the Chinese central bank allowed the Yuan to depreciate and global

stock markets corrected, once again fearing a continuing tariff and currency war. The geopolitical deterioration

and persistently weak economic data also led to an inversion of the yield curve and fuelled recession fears. In

consequence, major central banks went on to cut rates further. As early as September, equity markets recovered

as a result of easier financial conditions and thanks to progress in the trade dispute negotiations as a phase-one

agreement was promised.

The European Union and the United Kingdom also agreed on a new Brexit deal, and the withdrawal date was

postponed until 2020. The economic data, which stabilized at a low level, also had a positive impact by easing

fears of an imminent recession somewhat. On the other hand, the political situation in emerging markets

remained fragile due to numerous protest movements. At last, a further wave of relief swept over financial

markets in December, marked by a reached phase-one deal in the trade dispute. Overall, the positive

developments thus prevailed, and the major equity indices closed the year at new highs.

The rather positive start into the current year came to an abrupt halt in mid-March as the coronavirus went

global. In the course of pandemic control, economic and social activity was temporarily halted in most major

economies. The engineered recession also prompted severe corrections in financial markets and effectively

ended the bull market in equities. However, the policy response that followed surprised both in terms of speed

and magnitude, exceeding anything seen in peace times before. Thus, markets started to recover across asset

classes toward the end of March. The various equity indices (in local currency inclusive of dividends) ended the

reporting period with the following returns: S&P500 +0.9%, MSCI Europe -11.6%, MSCI Emerging Markets -

12% and Nikkei -7.3%.

On the bond front, the world economy lost further momentum in the second quarter 2019, with the global

purchasing managers' index for the manufacturing sector falling below the significant 50 mark. Although the

US remained the global economic driving force, signs of a slowdown became increasingly noticeable. In Europe,

with its beleaguered economy, the feared shift to the right in the EU parliamentary elections did not materialize.

However, the Brexit chaos deepened after Theresa May's resignation. Meanwhile, markets have been driven by

central banks and geopolitical risks. As trade tensions between the US and China resurfaced and political

tensions between the US and Iran emerged in the Middle East, central banks across the globe turned even more

dovish. At their meetings in mid-June, comments from the Fed and ECB confirmed the growing dovishness

among policymakers, with both clearing the way for further policy measures if needed. The supportive monetary

policy backdrop supported a rally in interest rate markets and the amount of bonds globally with negative

nominal yields surged to a record USD 13 trillion. Oil prices fell due to fears of contagion effects from trade

tensions over global growth and together with recent sub-par inflation releases affected inflation expectations

negatively.

INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT (continued)

The third quarter of 2019 was very eventful with growing tensions in the Middle East, an escalating Brexit crisis

and the ongoing trade conflict between the US and China. Global economic indicators continued to show signs

of a slowdown in growth, particularly in Europe. Central banks responded to rising fears of recession and

geopolitical risks with further monetary easing. The Fed lowered interest rates in September for the second time

in two months by 25 basis points to a target of 1.75 - 2.00%. The ECB relaxed monetary policy with a bundle

of measures, although there was little consensus among members of the Governing Council. Overall, real and

nominal yields in all developed markets fell sharply in the quarter and the linker and nominal markets recorded

significant price gains. With sovereign bond yields moving lower and credit spreads broadly stable, fixed

income markets enjoyed a solid quarter.

In currencies, the Euro depreciated versus the US Dollar, while the Japanese Yen was outperforming its major

peers. Investor sentiment turned cautiously optimistic in the fourth quarter as geopolitical risks, that dominated

the markets previously, seemed to fade towards the end of 2019. During the fourth quarter, the Fed cut interest

rates once. Afterwards in December, Chairman Jerome Powell sent a clear message that rates are appropriate

for now and stated that a significant persistent rise in inflation is necessary for future rate hikes to be considered.

In the Eurozone, ECB President Christine Lagarde held her first press conference following a meeting of the

Governing Council. Meanwhile, in the UK, the landslide victory for the Conservative Party removed uncertainty

and added further impetus for an orderly exit from the EU. However, the biggest market driver in the fourth

quarter 2019 was the unexpected announcement that China and the US had reached a phase one trade deal, even

after the previous developments in Hong Kong. This event combined with stable economic data and the highly

accommodative central banks around the globe was the primary catalysts for higher nominal and real yields as

well as breakeven rates in most markets. The quarter provided a very benign environment for risky asset classes.

In contrast, government bonds were less in demand and yields edged up higher. Credit spreads tightened from

already low levels and could not fully compensate for the negative impact from interest rate duration. In

currencies, the Euro and the Pound performed well, while the Japanese Yen was underperforming its major

peers.

The first months of 2020 were historic as the coronavirus pandemic became the largest global health crisis for

decades and the implemented lockdown policies to contain it have had dramatic effects on the economy and

financial markets. Policy makers around the world responded with unprecedented swiftness and scale

unleashing massive monetary and fiscal measures. The Fed cut rates to near zero, pledged “unlimited” QE and

took other extraordinary measures to restore liquidity. Meanwhile, the ECB introduced its Pandemic Emergency

Purchase Program, which includes purchasing up to EUR 750 billion in bonds this year. The Bank of England

joined the ECB delivering a major easing package by cutting its policy rate to 0.10% and announcing a new QE

program of GBP 200 billion amounting to 9% of UK GDP. Central bank easing is being accompanied by vast

fiscal stimulus with the US passing a USD 2 trillion package and Germany preparing an additional budget worth

4-5% of GDP. Meanwhile, the oil market had the worst quarter ever when the price for crude oil slumped by

66% due to the combination of a demand shock from the coronavirus pandemic and a supply shock from the

Saudi Arabia-Russia price war.

Government bond yields declined over the first quarter as higher risk assets suffered amid rising fears over the

Covid-19 pandemic. Investors favoured the perceived safety of government bonds due to the growing likelihood

of a deep global recession. The moves largely occurred in late-February and March as numerous countries went

into lockdown in response to the pandemic, seriously depressing economic activity. This resulted in severe

declines and extreme daily swings in assets prices on a scale comparable to the crises of 2008 and 2011. Over

the month of March, corporate bonds suffered their worst correction since the Global Financial Crisis. The

unprecedented level of uncertainty due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the draconian safety measures taken by

authorities globally caused extreme uncertainty in financial markets which led to selling pressure for corporate

bonds and a substantial re-pricing of risk premia.

INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT (continued)

In currencies, the US dollar and the Swiss franc benefitted from a flight to safety, while the Australian and the

Canadian dollar as well as the Norwegian krone suffered heavily.

In the second quarter of 2019, the emerging markets were hit by a new flare-up in the trade dispute between the

US and China. Meanwhile, the increased risk of a military conflict in the Middle East fuelled economic

concerns. The anticipation of a turnaround in global monetary policy also resulted in a strong rally in local

emerging market bonds and currencies in June, after rather difficult months in April and May. As the market

started to price in rate cuts by the Fed, the US Dollar started to weaken and provided strong support for emerging

market currencies. In addition, the situation in Argentina and Turkey improved and the absence of other

idiosyncratic country stories helped to improve the sentiment further. The absence of a trade deal between the

US and China weighed on markets. In addition, the inversion of the US yield curve was seen as an indication of

the arrival of a recession in the US. As a result, the market traded sideways most of May with a slightly negative

tilt. In contrast, June was a very positive month.

The ECB and the Fed became very dovish in their comments, as inflation remained muted and fundamentals

deteriorated on both sides of the Atlantic. This dovish turn was a massive boost for the overall market sentiment

and lifted local emerging market debt to new highs in 2019. Both bonds and currencies rallied on the back of

lower yields in developed markets and a weaker US Dollar. Even the two weakest links, namely Argentina and

Turkey, rallied and significantly outperformed the market driven by a more constructive political environment.

In Argentina, President Macri announced Senator Miguel Angel Pichetto as his running mate, forming an

important alliance with moderate Peronists. In Turkey, the re-run of the Istanbul election brought an impressive

win by the opposition and the AKP accepted the result immediately. The tensions with the US over Turkey’s

purchase of an S-400 missile defense system from Russia remains a negative factor. Brazil benefited from the

outlook of a long-awaited social security reform passing all the democratic steps over the course of 2019. The

country has to deliver a meaningful reform in order to close the massive funding gap that has a substantial

negative impact on the country’s fiscal situation. Russian bonds and currencies were buoyed by higher oil prices

and the absence of additional sanctions. After a strong market in June, various tactical longs on the currency

side implemented between March and May were closed or reduced, namely in Brazil, Chile, Colombia and

South Korea.

The global economy continued to cool in the third quarter. Local emerging market bonds experienced a solid

third quarter. The dovish turn of major central banks supported the asset class. Emerging market central banks

followed with rate cuts as the disinflationary environment, stable currencies and a global growth slowdown gave

them room to act. As a result, returns were mainly driven by bond prices, while currencies had a difficult time

to appreciate meaningfully in the absence of economic growth. Turkey performed strongly ahead and after the

central bank’s decision to cut rates by 425bps as inflation numbers had come constantly down. Market fears

over potential US sanctions on the back of Turkey’s purchase of an S-400 missile defense system from Russia

have not materialized so far. However, the economic and political situation remains fragile with the economy

tanking and the situation in north Syria unresolved. Thailand was another outperformer. Despite the fact that

the currency looks expensive and fundamentals deteriorated, the market enjoyed a strong quarter. The central

bank signaled that it is not comfortable with the current strength of the currency and indicated interventions if

deemed necessary. The big outlier over the quarter was Argentina. While it was expected that the opposition’s

candidate Fernandez would be ahead of President Macri by 2-3 percentage points, the massive defeat by 15

percentage points shocked the market. As a consequence, bonds and the Peso sold off dramatically as market

participants priced-in a return to unorthodox policies and a likely default on its external debt. The current

administration had to introduce capital controls, which brought a further dysfunctionality in the currency market.

There was no imminent spill over to other markets, but Brazil and Uruguay underperformed as well. In Brazil,

the pressure on Bolsonaro on the back of the widely discussed Amazon fires was not supportive, while further

progress on the social security reform was made. Central and Eastern European countries also underperformed.

INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT (continued)

The fourth quarter of 2019 was outstanding from the point of view of the financial markets - particularly when

compared to the same period of the previous year. The last quarter of 2019 provided a benign background for

emerging markets local currency debt. Major central banks continued to be dovish and the US-China trade

conflict started to ease somewhat. Bonds and currencies both contributed positively. Africa (South Africa) was

the best performing region as the risk of a downgrade to junk by all rating agencies was avoided, which

supported the Rand. On the other hand, Latin America was underperforming. Domestic political tensions in

Chile and Colombia had a negative impact on asset performance. Chile, as a result, was the poorest performing

country in the quarter as bonds and the Peso sold-off heavily. Given the overall positive sentiment, rates markets

in low beta countries (e.g. Czech Rep., Thailand) underperformed and were negative. Argentina fell out of the

benchmark as capital controls will continue to persist for some time. Consequently, the country is no longer

eligible to be part of the JPM GBI-EM series. However, the Peso stabilized just below the spot of 60 versus the

US Dollar and bonds rebounded in a very volatile manner. The new government is working on a debt

restructuring with the IMF and large bondholders and the market should see some indication in the first quarter

of 2020. Turkey started its offensive into north-eastern Syria, code-named Operation Peace Spring.

The first four months of the new decade was extremely turbulent. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the fight

against it, economic activity fell sharply and even reached recessionary territory. The long-running bull market

came to an abrupt end. Stock markets corrected into a bear market at record speed while market volatility rose

to new all-time highs. In the prevailing panic and liquidity squeeze, the broad sell-off did not spare even safe

havens like gold. Credit spreads widened significantly for both high-quality and high-yield bonds. The oil price

fell back to 20 USD/bbl due to a demand and supply shock. Decision-makers around the world tried to provide

reassurance. In the USA, the Fed reduced the key interest rate (to between 0 - 0.25% once again) at two

extraordinary meetings and announced further monetary policy measures. In Europe, the ECB announced an

emergency purchase program worth EUR 750 billion. In addition, large fiscal packages were put in place

worldwide to support the real economy. It was an extremely difficult start to the year for the asset class as the

global economy came to an almost complete halt as most major economies shut down public life to contain the

Coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, Russia and Saudi Arabia entered into a price battle on oil as an

agreement of a joint production cut could not be reached. For emerging market economies, lower commodity

prices are net negative. As a result, countries with commodity-sensitive economies underperformed the overall

market. On top of that and driven by the expectation of a global recession, various countries were downgraded,

such as Colombia, Mexico and South Africa, the latter now being in junk territory by all main rating agencies.

South Africa was the worst performer in the universe, losing more than a quarter of its index value.

Independent auditors’ report to the members of Crown Sigma UCITs plc

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

In our opinion, Crown Sigma UCITs plc’s financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the Company’s and sub-funds’ assets, liabilities and financial position as at 30 April 2020 and of their results and cash flows for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as adopted by the European Union; and

• have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2014 and the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011 (as amended).

We have audited the financial statements, included within the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements, which comprise:

• the Balance Sheet as at 30 April 2020;

• the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year then ended;

• the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended;

• the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares for the year then ended;

• the Portfolio of Investments for each of the sub-funds as at 30 April 2020; and

• the notes to the financial statements for the Company and for each of its sub-funds, which include a description of the significant accounting policies.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Ireland) (“ISAs (Ireland)”) and applicable law.

Our responsibilities under ISAs (Ireland) are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We remained independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Ireland, which includes IAASA’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which ISAs (Ireland) require us to report to you where:

• the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or

• the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s and sub-funds’ ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the Company’s and sub-funds’ ability to continue as going concerns.

Page 18: CROWN SIGMA UCITS PLC - TeleTrader.com

Reporting on other information

The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements other than the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify an apparent material inconsistency or material misstatement, we are required to perform procedures to conclude whether there is a material misstatement of the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report based on these responsibilities.

With respect to the Directors’ Report, we also considered whether the disclosures required by the Companies Act 2014 have been included.

Based on the responsibilities described above and our work undertaken in the course of the audit, ISAs (Ireland) and the Companies Act 2014 require us to also report certain opinions and matters as described below:

• In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, the information given in the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 April 2020 is consistent with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

• Based on our knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in the Directors’ Report.

Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' responsibilities set out on page 11, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the applicable framework and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view.

The directors are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s and sub-funds’ ability to continue as going concerns, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (Ireland) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the IAASA website at:

https://www.iaasa.ie/getmedia/b2389013-1cf6-458b-9b8f-a98202dc9c3a/Description_of_auditors_responsibilities_for_audit.pdf.

This description forms part of our auditors’ report.

Use of this report

This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the Company’s members as a body in accordance with section 391 of the Companies Act 2014 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Page 19: CROWN SIGMA UCITS PLC - TeleTrader.com

Other required reporting

Companies Act 2014 opinions on other matters

• We have obtained all the information and explanations which we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit.

• In our opinion the accounting records of the Company were sufficient to permit the financial statements to be readily and properly audited.

• The financial statements are in agreement with the accounting records.

Companies Act 2014 exception reporting

Directors’ remuneration and transactions

Under the Companies Act 2014 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion, the disclosures of directors’ remuneration and transactions specified by sections 305 to 312 of that Act have not been made. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out

below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting

Standards (“IFRS”) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) interpretations, as adopted by the

European Union (“EU”), those parts of the Companies Act 2014 applicable to companies reporting

under IFRS and the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable

Securities) Regulations 2011 (as amended).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the

revaluation of financial assets and liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss. The financial

statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The preparation of financial statements in

conformity with IFRS as adopted by the EU requires the use of accounting estimates and assumptions.

It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s

accounting policies.

44

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

All references to the net asset value (“NAV”) or net assets throughout this document refer to the net

assets attributable to holders of redeemable participating shares unless otherwise stated.

(a) Standards and amendments to published standards that are mandatory for the financial year

beginning on or after 1 January 2019

There are no standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that are effective for annual periods

beginning on 1 January 2019 that have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

(b) Standards and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual

periods beginning after 1 January 2020 and have not been applied in preparing these financial

statements. Those standards, amendments and interpretations considered included:

- Amendments to IFRS 3, “Business Combinations”, definition of a business (1 January 2020);

- Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8, “Presentation of Financial Statements” and “Accounting

Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, definition of material (1 January 2020);

- Amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” and “Financial

Instruments”, pre-replacement issues in the context of the IBOR reform (1 January 2020); and

- Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (1 January 2020).

The adoption of the above standards as of 1 January 2020 is not expected to have an impact on the

Company’s financial statements.

- IFRS 17, “Insurance Contracts”, (1 January 2021)

The Directors have considered this new standard which is issued but not yet effective during the

preparation of the annual report. It will not have an impact on the Company.

2.2 Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make

estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of

contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of

revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are

based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the

circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of

assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from

these estimates.

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting

estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions

with a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets within the

next financial year are:

Fair value of non-quoted investments

The Board of Directors uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and makes assumptions that

are not always supported by observable market prices or rates. The use of valuation techniques requires

them to make estimates and assumptions. Changes in assumptions could affect the reported fair value

of these investments. As at 30 April 2020 and 30 April 2019, the Board of Directors made no fair value

adjustments for unquoted investments.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.3 Foreign currency translation

Items included in the Company’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary

economic environment in which it operates (the “functional currency”). This is the euro (“Euro” or

“EUR”), which is also the currency in which the majority of the investors have subscribed into the

Company. The Company has also chosen the Euro to be its presentation currency. The USD

denominated sub-funds have a presentation and functional currency of USD as the majority of

investors in these sub-funds have subscribed into the sub-funds in this currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates

prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the

settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary

assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income.

2.4 Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

The Company classifies its investments based on both the Company’s business model for managing

those financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The portfolio

of financial assets is managed and performance is evaluated on a fair value basis. The Company is

primarily focused on fair value information and uses that information to assess the investments’

performance and to make decisions. The Company has not taken the option to irrevocably designate

any equity securities as fair value through other comprehensive income. The contractual cash flows of

the Company’s debt securities are solely principal and interest, however, these securities are neither

held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows nor held both for collecting contractual cash

flows and for sale. The collection of contractual cash flows is only incidental to achieving the

Company’s business model’s objective.

Derivative contracts that have a negative fair value are presented as liabilities at fair value through

profit or loss.

Consequently, all investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company’s policy is for LGT Capital Partners (Ireland) Limited (“Manager”) and the Board of

Directors to evaluate the information about these financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis

together with other related financial information.

Financial assets that are not at fair value through profit or loss include receivable for investments sold

and account receivables. Financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss include

payable for investments purchased and other accounts payable. These amounts are recognized initially

at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the trade date, i.e. the date on which the

Company commits to purchase or sell the investment. Investments are initially recognized at fair value

and transaction costs for all financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit

or loss are expensed as incurred. Investments are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows

from the investments have expired or the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards

of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is

discharged cancelled or expired.

Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit

or loss are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the

financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss category are presented in the

Statement of Comprehensive Income within net changes in unrealized gain/(loss) on fair value of

financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

As at 30 April 2020 and 2019 all investments were classified as financial assets and liabilities at fair

value through profit or loss.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly

transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current

market conditions (i.e. an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated

using another valuation technique.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded

derivatives and trading securities) are based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the

reporting date. The Company utilizes the last traded market price for both financial assets and financial

liabilities where the last traded price falls within the bid-ask spread. Where the last traded price is not

within the bid-ask spread, management will determine the point within the bid-ask spread that is most

representative of fair value.

The underlying investments of the Company are valued as follows:

- bonds: bonds are valued at the last reported price on the main exchange on the last business day

of the valuation period.

- futures: futures are contractual obligations to buy or sell financial instruments on a future date at

a specified price established in an organized market. The futures contracts are collateralised by

cash or marketable securities; changes in the futures contracts’ value are settled daily with the

exchange and valued at mark-to-market. Interest rate futures are contractual obligations to receive

or pay a net amount based on changes in interest rates at a future date at a specified price,

established in an organized financial market. The Company has entered into arrangements with

whom it undertakes futures transactions.

For open futures contracts, changes in the fair value of the contract are recognized as unrealized

gains or losses by "marking-to-market" the value of the contract at the Balance Sheet date and are

included in the net gain/(loss) on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. When the contract is closed, the difference between

the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the original transaction is recorded as

a realized gain or loss.

- forward currency contracts: the unrealized gain or loss on open forward currency contracts is

calculated as the difference between the original contracted rate and the rate at the period end.

Unrealized gains or losses on open forward currency contracts are included in financial assets or

financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the Balance Sheet. Realized gains or

losses on forward currency contracts as reflected in the Statement of Comprehensive Income

include net gains/(losses) on forward currency contracts that have been settled as at the Balance

Sheet date.

- exchange traded funds: exchange traded funds are valued at the last reported price on the main

exchange.

- transferable securities: transferable securities (being equity securities) are valued at the last

reported price on the main exchange.

- Fund investments/collective investment schemes: the fair value of investments in unlisted

investment funds/collective investment schemes is based on the latest available unaudited net

asset value provided by the relevant fund’s manager or administrator.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

- option contracts: when the Company purchases an option, an amount equal to fair value which is

based on the premium paid is recorded as an asset. When the Company writes an option, an

amount equal to fair value which is based on the premium received by the Company is recorded

as a liability. Unrealized gains or losses on options are included in net gain/(loss) on financial

assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

When options are closed, the difference between the premium and the amount paid or received,

net of brokerage commissions, or the full amount of the premium if the option expires worthless,

is recognized as a realized gain or loss.

2.5 Prepayments for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Prepayments for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is comprised of amounts paid in

advance of the April dealing dates of the underlying investments.

2.6 Determination of gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit

or loss

Both realized and unrealized gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through

profit or loss are taken to income as incurred. Realized gains and losses on futures, exchange traded

funds, transferable securities, collective investment schemes and options are calculated on a first-in-

first-out basis. Realized gains and losses on forward currency contracts are calculated on an actual

basis. The difference between the cost and the fair value of financial assets and liabilities at fair value

through profit or loss are reflected in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as the change in

unrealized gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

2.7 Redeemable participating shares

The Company issues redeemable shares, which are redeemable at the holder’s option and do not have

identical rights. Such shares are classified as financial liabilities. Redeemable shares can be put back

to the Company at any dealing date for cash equal to a proportionate share of the Company’s net asset

value attributable to the share class. Shares are redeemable weekly. The redeemable shares are carried

at the redemption amount that is payable at the Balance Sheet date if the holder exercises the right to

put the share back to the Company.

2.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash in hand and short-term deposits with maturity of three

months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at nominal value. Bank overdrafts that are

repayable on demand form an integral part of the Company’s cash management and, if any, are shown

as current liabilities in the Balance Sheet.

2.9 Margin cash

Margin cash provided by the Company, if any, is identified in the Balance Sheet as margin cash and

is not included as a component of cash and cash equivalents. The carrying value of margin cash

represents its approximate fair value.

2.10 Receivables

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not

quoted in an active market. Receivables are recognized initially at fair value, and subsequently

measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. A

provision for impairment is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be

able to collect all amounts to be received. Significant financial difficulties of the counterparty,

probability that the counterparty will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default in

payments are considered indicators that the amount to be received is impaired.

2.11 Payables

Payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently stated at amortized cost. The difference

between the proceeds and the amount payable is recognized over the period of the payable using the

effective interest method.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.12 Expenses

Expenses are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis.

2.13 Interest income and expense from cash and cash equivalents and interest from financial assets

at fair value through profit or loss

Interest is recognized on a time-proportionate basis using the effective interest method. Interest income

and expense includes interest from cash and cash equivalents and cash overdrafts. Interest from

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss includes interest from debt securities.

2.14 Dividend income

Dividend income relating to exchange traded equity investments is recognized in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income on the ex-dividend date. Dividend income is recognized on a gross basis

excluding withholding tax, which is disclosed separately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

2.15 Withholding tax

The Company currently incurs withholding taxes imposed by certain countries on investment income

and capital gains. Such income or gains are recorded gross of withholding taxes in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income. Withholding tax is shown as a separate item in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income.

2.16 Redemptions payable to holders of redeemable participating shares

Redemptions payable to holders of redeemable participating shares relate to redemptions made by

holders of redeemable shares during the year that were paid after the year end.

2.17 Transaction costs

Some transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or

disposal of a financial asset or liability. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred

if the entity had not acquired, issued or disposed of the financial instrument. When a financial asset or

liability is recognized initially, an entity shall measure it at its fair value through profit or loss plus

transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or

liability. They include fees and commissions paid to agents, advisors, brokers and dealers.

Transaction costs on the purchase and sale of bonds, transferable securities, futures, forwards and

options are included in the purchase and sale price of the investment. They cannot be practically or

reliably gathered as they are embedded in the cost of the investment and cannot be separately verified

or disclosed. Custody transaction costs are included in Depositary and trustee fees.

3. EFFICIENT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

A sub-fund may employ techniques and instruments relating to transferable securities and/or other

financial instruments in which it invests for efficient portfolio management purposes. Use of such

techniques and instruments are made for one or more of the following reasons:

(i) the reduction of risk;

(ii) the reduction of cost; or

(iii) the generation of additional capital or income for the sub-fund with an appropriate level of risk.

3. EFFICIENT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT (continued)

Forward currency contracts

Individual sub-funds use forward currency contracts which alter the currency characteristics of assets

held by the relevant sub-fund. Assets of a sub-fund may be denominated in a currency other than the

base currency of the sub-fund, which is the Euro for the Euro denominated sub-funds or USD for the

USD denominated sub-funds and changes in the exchange rate between the base currency and the

currency of the asset may lead to a depreciation of the value of the sub-fund’s assets expressed in Euro

or USD. Forward currency contracts are also used for share class hedging purposes, where share

classes of a relevant sub-fund are denominated in a currency different to the base currency, Euro or

US Dollars. Gains, losses and transaction costs of such contracts are attributable solely to the relevant

share class. Further details regarding the exposure obtained through forward currency contracts are

disclosed in Note 4(b). Details of open forward currency contracts and the counterparties to those

transactions are disclosed in the portfolio of investments.

The revenue/loss arising from such efficient portfolio management techniques for the period are

detailed in the table below. Direct and indirect operational costs and fees incurred (i.e. transaction

costs) cannot be practically or reliably gathered as they are embedded in the cost of the investment

and cannot be separately verified or disclosed.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company maintains positions in a variety of financial instruments as dictated by its investment

management strategy. The Company’s investing activities expose it to various types of risk that are

associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. Below is a description of the

principal risks inherent in the Company’s activities along with the actions it has taken to manage these

risks.

The Company’s assets and liabilities comprise financial instruments which include:

- Exchange traded funds, transferrable securities, futures, bonds, forward currency contracts and

option contracts, these are held in accordance with the Company’s investment objectives and

policies;

- Forward currency contracts; these are held in order to hedge against foreign exchange

gains/(losses) in non-Euro share classes in LGT Bond Emma LC Sub-Fund and LGT Sustainable

Equity Global Sub-Fund; and in non-USD share classes in LGT Bond EM Credit Opportunities

Sub-Fund, LGT Sustainable Bond Corporates Sub-Fund and LGT Sustainable Equity Market

Neutral Sub-Fund.

- Cash, liquid resources and short-term receivables and payables that arise directly from its

investment activities.

The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are market price, foreign currency,

interest rate, credit, liquidity and capital risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for

managing each of these risks and they are summarized below:

(a) Market price risk

The Company’s investments are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future

values of the positions held. The Company’s Manager provides the Company with investment

recommendations that are consistent with the Company’s objectives.

Value at Risk

The Company applies absolute Value at Risk (“VaR”) methodology to its portfolio as well as to the

individual investments in order to estimate the risk of positions held at certain times. The risk analysis

refers to a specified time horizon and to a given level of confidence and in this respect derives the

potential losses that could occur on these positions as a result of market movements affecting the

exposures held. VaR is a statistically based estimate of the potential loss on the program (referring to

portfolio composition at a particular point of time) from adverse market movements. It expresses the

maximum amount the program might lose, but only to a certain level of confidence (99%). There is

therefore a specified statistical probability (1%) that actual losses could be greater than the VaR

estimate. The positions have been fully modelled for the purpose of these risk estimates. The VaR-

methodology employed is historical 1-day VaR99 based on 1 year input data.

Actual outcomes are monitored regularly to test the validity of this VaR calculation. The employment

of different methodologies, also with greater forward looking characteristics, generates information

about the robustness of the risk figures.

Limitations to this Value at Risk Model

The reference input timeframe may or may not be suitable to predict future behavior at a particular

point in time.

The methodology employed for this risk illustration is only one type of risk information considered

and the complexity of risks analysis for fund strategy portfolios requires the use of various different

methodologies.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Note: 1) Definition of leverage: The level of leverage represents the sum of absolute notional exposures to FDIs in percentage of the

Net Asset Value of the respective sub-fund. This number may seem high, if the Manager allocates an increased proportion of

the portfolio to FDIs which have high notional exposures due to their specific characteristics, but with lower levels of volatility

and VaR, such as interest rate futures. For example, given a comparable expected volatility, the notional exposure of interest

rate futures may represent a multiple of the notional exposure of equity index futures or commodity index futures. As such,

notional exposure of different FDIs may not necessarily be comparable in their risk profile. Strategies based on interest rate

futures typically have a lower VaR than a comparable exposure to other permitted assets, hence they require a much higher

notional exposure versus a strategy investing in other permitted assets. Therefore, the leverage of the respective sub-fund may

increase as the sub-fund’s allocation to particular strategies which deploy interest rate futures is increased. The sub-fund may

seek exposure to these particular strategies as they may provide attractive risk adjusted returns and contribute to the

diversification of the sub-fund. In general, the sum of notional exposure to FDIs tends to be higher when underlying markets

are less volatile.

The performance of the investments and the compilation of the investment portfolio held by the

Company is monitored by the Manager on a weekly basis and reviewed regularly by the Board of

Directors.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(b) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes

in foreign exchange rates. The Company invests in securities and other investments that are

denominated in currencies other than the Euro (for Euro denominated sub-funds) or the USD (for US

Dollar denominated sub-funds). Accordingly, the value of the Company’s assets may be affected

favorably or unfavorably by fluctuations in currency rates and therefore the Company will be subject

to foreign exchange risk. In accordance with the Company’s policy, the Manager monitors the

Company’s currency position on a monthly basis and the Board of Directors reviews it on a regular

basis.

Some of the share classes of LGT Bond Emma LC Sub-Fund and LGT Sustainable Equity Global Sub-

Fund are denominated in currencies other than the Euro. Some of the share classes of LGT Bond EM

Credit Opportunities Sub-Fund, LGT Sustainable Bond Corporates Sub-Fund and LGT Sustainable

Equity Market Neutral Sub-Fund are denominated in currencies other than the US Dollar. The

Directors currently instruct the Manager to hedge the Euro/US Dollar equivalent exposure of these

share classes in the sub-fund. The Company may utilize a variety of financial instruments such as

derivatives to hedge against changes in currency values which may affect the value of the relevant

share classes and such transactions are clearly attributable to each relevant share class. Details of

forward currency contracts held at 30 April 2020 are included in the portfolio of investments.

The FX profit and loss arising from these forward currency contracts are attributed only to that specific

share class.

The Company does not seek to hedge currency risk on investments not denominated in a sub-fund’s

base currency. The exposure to non-Euro currencies (for Euro denominated sub-funds) and to non-

USD currencies (for US Dollar denominated sub-funds) at the reporting date were as follows:

(c) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises from the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of markets interest rates

on the fair value of financial assets and liabilities and future cash flows. The Company holds fixed

interest securities that expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The Company’s policy

requires the Manager to manage this risk by measuring the mismatch of the interest rate sensitivity

gap of financial assets and liabilities and calculating the average duration of the portfolio of fixed

interest securities. The average effective duration of the Company’s portfolio is a measure of the

sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s fixed interest securities to changes in market interest

rates.

Any excess cash and cash equivalents are invested at short-term market interest rates. At 30 April 2020

and 2019, if short-term market interest rates had been lower by 25 basis points (2019: 25 basis points)

with all other variables held constant, the change in net assets attributable to redeemable participating

shareholders was deemed by the Directors to be immaterial. However, the Company may be indirectly

affected by the impact of interest rate changes on the earnings of certain underlying investments in

which the Company invests and impact on the valuation of certain over-the-counter derivative

products that use interest rates as an input in their valuation model.

(d) Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will

cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is exposed

to counterparty credit risk on trading derivative products, government bonds, corporate bonds,

collective investment schemes, cash and cash equivalents, amounts due from brokers and other

receivable balances. Impairment provisions are provided for losses that have been incurred by the

Balance Sheet date, if any. There were no impairment provisions for the year ended 30 April 2020

(2019: none).

Financial assets, which potentially expose the Company to credit risk, consist principally of cash,

investments and balances arising from other contractual transactions. The Company seeks to mitigate

its exposure to credit risk by conducting its contractual transactions with institutions which are

reputable and well established. In accordance with the Company’s policy, the Manager monitors the

Company’s credit position on a monthly basis and the Board of Directors reviews it on a regular basis.

Credit risk arising from receivables from underlying portfolio sub-funds relates to redemptions or

transactions awaiting settlement. Risk relating to unsettled receivables is considered small due to the

short settlement period involved and the due diligence performed on the portfolio companies. The

maximum exposure related to unsettled trades equals the amounts shown on the Balance Sheet.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

The Company’s Depositary and Trustee is RBC Investor Services Bank S.A., Dublin Branch

(“Depositary”). Some of the cash of the Company is held by the Depositary at the year end. The

Company is exposed to credit risk through the use of the Depositary for their cash and cash equivalents.

Bankruptcy or insolvency of the Depositary may cause the Company’s rights with respect to its cash

held by the Depositary to be delayed or limited. The maximum exposure to this risk at 30 April 2020

and 2019 is the amount of cash disclosed in Note 9.

To mitigate the risks the Company is exposed to from the use of the Depositary, the Manager employs

appropriate procedures to ensure that the counterparties are reputable institutions and that the credit

risk is acceptable to the Company. The Company only transacts with custodians that are regulated

entities subject to prudential supervision, or with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-

rating agencies. The credit rating of the Depositary at 30 April 2020 was A-1+/AA-) (30 April 2019:

A-1+/AA-) (Source: Standard and Poor’s).

The Company has also cash accounts held with LGT Bank AG as at 30 April 2020. The cash accounts

are held for the purposes of trading in derivative financial instruments. Bankruptcy or insolvency of

this financial institution may cause the Company’s rights with respect to its cash held by to be delayed

or limited. The maximum exposure to this risk at 30 April 2020 and 2019 is the amount of cash

disclosed in Note 9. The credit ratings per Standard and Poor’s of this financial institution as at the

year end was A-1/A+ (2019: A-1/A+).

(e) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company cannot generate sufficient cash resources to meet its

payment obligations in full as they fall due, or can only do so at materially disadvantageous terms.

Depending on the sub-fund, the Company is exposed to daily or weekly cash redemptions of

participating shares. If significant redemptions of participating shares are requested, it may not be

possible to liquidate the Company’s investments at the time such redemptions are requested, or it may

be possible to do only at prices which the Directors believe do not reflect the true value of such

investments, resulting in an adverse effect on the return to the investors.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

It therefore invests the majority of its assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can

be readily disposed of; it invests only a limited proportion of its assets in investments not actively

traded. The Company’s listed securities are considered to be readily realizable as they are listed on

recognized stock exchanges. In accordance with the Company’s policy, the Manager and Investment

Manager monitors the Company’s liquidity position on a daily basis. There have been no material

changes made to these liquidity management systems and procedures described above during the year.

Substantially all of the sub-funds’ financial liabilities have maturities of less than one month from the

Balance Sheet date to the contractual maturity date. Maturities are outlined in the Portfolio of

Investments of the respective sub-funds.

(f) Capital risk management

The capital of the Company is represented by the net assets attributable to the holders of redeemable

participating shares and the Manager monitors this on an ongoing basis. The Company’s objective

when managing the capital is to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide

returns for holders of redeemable participating shares and benefits for other stakeholders and to

maintain a strong capital base to support the development of the investment activities of the Company.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company’s policy is to perform the following:

- monitor the level of daily subscriptions and redemptions relative to the assets it expects to be able to

liquidate within one week and adjust the amount of distributions the Company pays to holders of

redeemable participating shares.

- redeem and issue new shares in accordance with the constitutional documents of the Company, which

include the ability to restrict redemptions and require certain minimum holdings and subscriptions.

(g) Fair value estimation

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly

transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current

market conditions (i.e. an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated

using another valuation technique. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active

markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and trading securities) are based on quoted market prices

at the close of trading on the reporting date. The Company utilizes the last traded market price for both

financial assets and financial liabilities where the last traded price falls within the bid-ask spread. In

circumstances where the last traded price is not within the bid-ask spread, management will determine

the point within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value. An active market is a

market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume

to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2020

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

IFRS 7 requires the Company to classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that

reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has

the following levels:

- Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

- Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset

or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

- Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is,

unobservable inputs).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its

entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value

measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair

value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require

significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement.

Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires

judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgment by the Company.

The Company considers observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly

distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources

that are actively involved in the relevant market.

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and therefore classified

within Level 1, include futures, exchange traded funds, transferable securities, and certain government

bonds. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these instruments.

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on

quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs

are classified within Level 2. The Company currently classifies forward currency contracts, collective

investment schemes, options, certain government bonds and corporate bonds held as at 30 April 2020

and 2019 as Level 2 investments as their fair value is based on observable inputs.

Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently.

There were no Level 3 investments at 30 April 2020 (30 April 2019: none).

The following tables below analyze within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets (by

class) designated as fair value through profit or loss at 30 April 2020:

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and

liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates are continually evaluated and based on historical

experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable

under the circumstances.

Functional currency

The Board of Directors considers the Euro the currency that most faithfully represents the economic

effect of the underlying transactions, events and conditions at the level of the Company. Although

some sub-funds’ functional currencies may be different to the Euro, the Euro is the currency in which

the Company measures its overall performance and reports its results, as well as the currency of its

underlying investments. This determination also considers the competitive environment in which the

Company is compared to other global investment products.

The functional currency of LGT Sustainable Bond Global Hedged Sub-Fund, LGT Sustainable Quality

Equity Hedged Sub-Fund, LGT Bond EM Credit Opportunities Sub-Fund, LGT Sustainable Bond

Corporates Sub-Fund, LGT Sustainable Equity Market Neutral Sub-Fund and LGT Crown Liquid

Private Equity Opportunities Sub-Fund is the US Dollar as the shares in these sub-funds are

predominantly issued in US Dollar and therefore represents the primary economic environment in

which they operate.

7. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

(continued)

Details of derivative instruments held at 30 April 2020 are included in the portfolio of investments.

The Company holds the following financial derivative instruments:

(a) Futures

Futures are contractual obligations to buy or sell financial instruments on a future date at a specified

price established in an organized market. The futures contracts are collateralized by cash or marketable

securities; changes in the futures contracts’ value are settled daily with the exchange. Interest rate

futures are contractual obligations to receive or pay a net amount based on changes in interest rates at

a future date at a specified price, established in an organized financial market.

Investment in such derivative financial instruments is a primary feature of the Company and is used

for direct investment and for the purposes of asset allocation, taking views on the pricing of assets

(whether overpriced or underpriced) or likely direction of markets, currency management, maintaining

the required level of exposure, hedging, cash management and efficient investing.

(b) Forward currency contracts

A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange two currencies at a

given exchange rate at some point in the future, usually 30, 60, or 90 days hence. A forward currency

contract mitigates foreign exchange risk for the parties and is most useful when both parties have

operations or some other interest in a country using a given currency. Forward currency contracts are

over-the-counter contracts.

Some of the share classes of the sub-funds are denominated in other currencies other than the Euro

Dollar. The Directors currently instruct the Manager to hedge the Euro and USD equivalent exposure

of these share classes in the relevant sub-fund. The Company utilizes a variety of financial instruments

such as derivatives to hedge against changes in currency values which may affect the value of the

relevant share classes and such transactions are clearly attributable to each relevant share class.

(c) Options

Options are the right to buy or sell a specific quantity of a specific asset at a fixed price at or before a

specified future date. A sub-fund may invest in two forms of options: put or call options. Put options

are contracts sold for a premium that gives one party (the buyer) the right, but not the obligation, to

sell to the other party (the seller) of the contract, a specific quantity of a particular product or financial

instrument at a specified price. Call options are similar contracts sold for a premium that gives the

buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy from the seller of the option. Options may also be cash

settled. A sub-fund may be a seller or buyer of put and call options.

8. SHARE CAPITAL

(a) Participating shares

The Company has authorized participating share capital of 1,000,000,000,000 shares of no par value

initially designated as unclassified shares and 3 management shares of EUR 1 each. The unclassified

shares are available for issue as shares. The issue price is payable in full upon acceptance. There are

no rights of pre-emption attaching to the shares in the Company.

The issued redeemable participating share capital is at all times equal to the net asset value of the

Company.

The right of holders of any shares to participate in the assets of the Company is limited to the assets

(if any) of the sub-fund relating to such shares. If the realized net assets of any sub-fund are insufficient

to pay any amounts due on the relevant shares in full in accordance with the relevant sub-fund

supplement and the Articles, the relevant shareholders will have no further right of payment in respect

of such shares or any claim against any other sub-fund or any other assets of the Company.

If a sub-fund has two or more classes of shares, the claims of the holders of such classes to the assets

of the relevant sub-fund will, subject to the terms of the relevant sub-fund, rank pari passu with each

other, and, on a winding-up of the Company, the holders of each such class will participate in the

assets (if any) comprised in such sub-fund pro rata to the amount paid up on the shares of each such

class. Each separate class relating to one sub-fund will have recourse only to the assets comprised

within the relevant sub-fund. Consequently, if on the winding-up of the Company, the assets of a sub-

fund (after payment of all fees, expenses and other liabilities (other than amounts owing to

shareholders) which are to be borne by such sub-fund) are insufficient to pay the full repurchase

proceeds payable in respect of all classes of shares relating to the relevant sub-fund, the proceeds of

the relevant sub-fund will be distributed equally amongst each shareholder of the relevant sub-fund

pro rata to the amount paid up on the shares held by each shareholder.

The Directors are given authority to effect the issue of shares and to create new classes of shares (in

accordance with the requirements of the Central Bank of Ireland) and have absolute discretion to

accept or reject in whole or in part any application for shares. Provided applications are received before

the valuation point, the Directors may at their sole discretion accept a subscription application and/or

subscription monies after the relevant dealing deadline. Issues of shares will normally be made with

effect from a dealing day in respect of applications received on or prior to the dealing deadline. Dealing

days and dealing deadlines relating to each sub-fund are specified in the relevant sub-fund supplement.

The Directors may temporarily suspend the calculation of the net asset value of a particular sub-fund

or class and/or the issue, redemption and conversion of shares under certain instances detailed in the

Prospectus. Where possible, all reasonable steps will be taken to bring any period of suspension to an

end as soon as possible in a manner that is, in the opinion of the Directors, in the best interests of the

shareholders of the particular sub-fund.

15. TAXATION

Under current law and practice the Company qualifies as an investment undertaking as defined in

Section 739B of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended. On that basis, it is not chargeable to

Irish tax on its income or gains. However, Irish tax may arise on the happening of a "chargeable event".

A chargeable event includes any distribution payments to Shareholders or any encashment,

redemption, cancellation or transfer of shares.

No Irish tax will arise on the Company in respect of chargeable events in respect of:

(a) a shareholder who is neither Irish resident nor ordinarily resident in Ireland for tax purposes, at the

time of the chargeable event, provided appropriate valid declarations in accordance with the provisions

of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended, are held by the Company; or the Company has

been authorized by the Irish Revenue to make gross payments in the absence of appropriate

declarations; and

(b) certain exempted Irish tax resident Shareholders who have provided the Company with the

necessary signed statutory declarations.

Any transaction (which might otherwise be a chargeable event) in relation to shares held in a

recognized clearing system as designated by order of the Irish Revenue Commissioners will not

constitute a chargeable event. It is the current intention of the Directors that all the Shares in the

Company will be held in a recognized clearing system.

Dividends, interest and capital gains (if any) received on investments made by the Company may be

subject to withholding taxes imposed by the country from which the investment income/gains are

received and such taxes may not be recoverable by the Company or its shareholders.

16. EVENTS SINCE THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

The second quarter of 2020 has seen volatility in all financial markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Directors of the Company are actively monitoring the situation and, with the support of the

Manager, continue to manage the Company's assets within investment and risk parameters that have

been established. The Directors will continue to review the situation in order to navigate the Company

through this period of heightened uncertainty. The development & spread of the COVID-19 virus

subsequent to 30 April 2020 is a non-adjusting post Balance Sheet event.

There have been no other material events, except for above, that could impair the integrity of the

information presented in the financial statements or requiring disclosure.

17. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Board of Directors approved the financial statements on 24 August 2020.
