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.
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.
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.

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2020

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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2020

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.

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.

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.

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.
