Board of Directors’ Report The year 2015 end positively for many financial markets, even if some variables, particularly in the field of raw materials, showed a weak trend that has affected various asset classes.
• The first quarter was marked by a brilliant performance of various indices, especially in Europe, where it has served the program of quantitative easing by the European Central Bank and the weak trend of the Euro against the US Dollar, from which we anticipated a boost for the continental economy in particular for exports. • In the second quarter, the intonation of the markets was characterized by increased nervousness, due to the worsening of the Greek crisis, at stock-list Chinese fibrillation reported a sharp contraction after a very quick, and the possibility of a change in US monetary policy in a more restrictive. • The third quarter saw a major weakness of the financial markets, tight amid fears triggered by the assumptions of rising interest rates in the United States and the impact on global growth to a slowdown increasingly clear though gradual emerging economies. • The last quarter ended so basically positive for markets, although investors' attention was catalysed by a variety of factors that led to a drop in early 2016 quotes. Among these, it should be noted the rising interest rates in December by the Federal Reserve in the United States and the persistent weakness in oil prices, with potential destabilizing effects that could have on oil-producing countries and on some economic sectors more related to mining. Stock marketsStock marketsStock marketsStock markets: stock market results in 2015 were only moderately positive: the MSCI World index in local currency, which summarizes the evolution of purses of developed economies, gained in the year the 2,1%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets index has recorded a result of -5,8%. Among the major markets, the best bag went to Japanese list (+12,1%), followed by the Euro area aggregate index (+7,4%); the United States, however, have gotten a positive result only through dividends (+0,8%), reflecting the fears concerning the more restrictive monetary policy and corporate earnings less exciting than previous years. Within the Euro area, the Italian market has obtained a yield equal to 15,0% for the year. Among the major continental stock exchanges, France has registered a growth of 9,6% and Germany of 13,6%. Among all the sectors, the best was that of essential consumer goods, which achieved 12.2% over a period of twelve months. Bond marketsBond marketsBond marketsBond markets: despite the rise in rates by the Federal Reserve in the last part of the year, they managed to get slightly positive returns in 2015, equivalent to +0,8%. Similar trend for triple-A Government bonds in the Eurozone, which ended the year with a modest gain (+0,4%), while the euro-periphery sovereign bond yields showed aggregate of 0,2%. Among investment-grade corporate bonds segment results, Euro and US Dollar were lined up, albeit slightly negative and 0,4% and -0,7%-respectively. Well marked the divergence in the high-yield segment, where securities denominated in Euro lost 0,3% on year while those denominated in US Dollar 5,0%. Also in the segment of emerging bonds 2015 results were heterogeneous: the securities denominated in hard currencies have gained in the year the 0,8%, while those denominated in local currency have discounted the weakness of its divided losing 10,7%.

Notes to the Financial Statements
as at December 31st, 2015
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Financial Statements of ZENIT MULTISTRATEGY SICAV (the “SICAV”) are prepared in accordance with generally accepted legal and regulatory requirements and accounting principles in Luxembourg, including the following significant policies:
a) Valuation of investments The value of each security or other asset which is quoted or dealt in a stock exchange is based on its last available price in Luxembourg on the stock exchange which is normally the principal market for such security. The value of each security or other asset dealt in on any other regulated market that operates regularly, recognized and open to the public (a “Regulated Market”) is based on its last available price in Luxembourg. Units or shares of undertakings for collective investment are valued at their last determined and available net asset value or, if such price is not representative of the fair market value of such assets, then the price is determined by the Board of Directors of the SICAV on a fair and equitable basis. The liquidating value of futures, spot, forward or options contracts not traded on stock exchanges nor on other regulated markets mean their net liquidating value determined, pursuant to the policies established by the Board of Directors of the SICAV, on a basis consistently applied for each different variety of contracts. The liquidating value of futures, spot, forward or options contracts traded on stock exchanges or on other regulated markets is based upon the last available settlement prices of these contracts on stock exchanges and regulated markets on which the particular futures, spot, forward or options contracts are traded by the SICAV; provided that if a futures, spot, forward or options contract is not liquidated on the day with respect to which net assets are being determined, the basis for determining the liquidating value of such contract is such value as the Board of Directors of the SICAV may deem fair and reasonable. Swaps are valued at their market value. The value of money market instruments not traded on stock exchanges nor on other regulated markets and with a remaining maturity of less than 12 months and of more than 90 days is deemed to be the nominal value thereof, increased by any interest accrued thereon. Money market instruments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less are valued by the amortized cost method, which approximates market value. Interest rate swaps are valued at their market value established by reference to the applicable interest rate curve. All other securities and other assets are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors of the SICAV.
b) Net realised profit or loss on sale of investments The net realised profit or loss on sale of investments is determined on the basis of the average cost of investments sold.
c) Conversion of foreign currencies All assets and liabilities expressed in currencies other than the concerned currency of the Sub-Fund are converted into the Sub-Fund’s currency at the exchange rate prevailing on closing date in Luxembourg. The costs of investments expressed in currencies other than EUR are converted into EUR at the exchange rate prevailing on purchase date.

Notes to the Financial Statements
as at December 31st, 2015 (continued)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)
d) Unrealised profit or loss In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Luxembourg, unrealised profits or losses on all components of the statement of net assets at the end of the financial year are accounted for in the statement of net assets.
e) Investment income Interests on bonds and bank accounts are accounted for an accrual basis. Dividends are taken into income on the date upon which the relevant securities are first listed as ex-dividend.
f) Purchases and sales of investments The details of purchases and sales of investments may be obtained at the registered office of the SICAV, free of charge.
g) Expenses When the SICAV incurs expenses, which relate to a particular Sub-Fund or to any action taken in connection with a particular Sub-Fund, such expenses shall be allocated to the relevant Sub-Fund. Expenses of the SICAV which cannot be considered as being attributable to a particular Sub-Fund shall be allocated to all the Sub-Fund pro rata to the net asset value of each Sub-Fund.
h) Futures contracts Net unrealised gain or loss on futures and the related margin calls are disclosed in the Statement of Net Assets. Figures are detailed in note 8. Net realised profit or loss on futures and the change in net unrealised appreciation or depreciation on futures are disclosed in the Statement of Operations and in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
i) Combined statement of net asset The value of the combined statement of net assets of the SICAV equals the sum of all different sub-funds’ net assets converted into EUR at the exchange rate prevailing on closing date in Luxembourg.
The SICAV is subject to Luxembourg tax laws. Under current laws and regulations, the SICAV is subject in Luxembourg to the subscription tax at an annual rate of 0,05%, such tax being payable quarterly and calculated on the basis of the net assets at the end of the relevant quarter. However, this tax is reduced to 0,01% per annum for the net assets attributable to the Class I Institutional Shares, intended for institutional investors.
NOTE 5 - MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
A management company fee is payable to the Management Company by each Sub-Fund in remuneration for its services. Such fee is payable quarterly in arrears and calculated on the average of the net assets of each Sub-Fund for the relevant quarter as follows: . 0,075% per annum on the first EUR 10 million of average net assets . 0,050% per annum on the average net assets over EUR 10 million with a minimum of EUR 5.000. An investment management fee is payable to the Investment Manager by the Management Company at the expense of the relevant Sub-Fund, in compensation for its services. Such fee, payable monthly in arrears and calculated on the average of the net assets of the Sub-Fund for the relevant month, is set at the annual rate of : . 0,95% for I, P, R shares and 1,30% for Q shares for the Sub-Fund Global Opportunities . 0,90% for the Sub-Fund ZENIT MULTISTRATEGY SICAV Stock-Picking . 1,15% for the Sub-Fund ZENIT MULTISTRATEGY SICAV Defender . 0,90% for the Sub-Fund ZENIT MULTISTRATEGY SICAV Stability

The quarterly performance fee in respect of the Class I Shares represents 10% of the increase of the Net Asset Value per Share before the calculation of the performance fee, in relation to the reference Net Asset Value per Share. The reference Net Asset Value per Share is the highest one ever previously achieved by the Class I Shares in the Zenit Multistrategy Sicav Global Opportunities Sub-Fund; in the case of any dividend payment, this will be added to the Net Asset Value for the purpose of the calculation of the highest Net Asset Value ever achieved.

Notes to the Financial Statements
as at December 31st, 2015 (continued)
NOTE 6 - PERFORMANCE FEES (continued)
Under the high water mark (”HWM”) principle, the reference NAV per share of the class will be maintained, as the case may be, until an outperformance of the NAV per share of the class is recorded. The HWM will be reset at each financial year end by considering as new HWM the last NAV per share of the class of the previous financial year. A provision shall be created for the performance fee on each Valuation Day, on the basis of the number of Shares outstanding in the Class I Shares in the Zenit Multistrategy Sicav Global Opportunities Sub-Fund on that Valuation Day. The amount of the provision is paid to the Management Company in favour of the Investment Manager at the end of each quarter. The quarterly performance fee in respect of both Classes P, Q (since December 21st, 2015) and R represent per Share 10% of the quarterly positive performance of the Net Asset Value per Share of the relevant Class of Shares in the Zenit Multistrategy Sicav Global Opportunities Sub-Fund. The amount of the performance fee as calculated on a daily basis will be withdrawn on a daily basis from the Zenit Multistrategy Sicav Global Opportunities Sub-Fund's assets attributable to the relevant Class of Shares and accrued in view of the payment at the end of each quarter of such performance fee. In case of a redemption of Shares on which a performance fee is accrued, such performance fee will be deemed realised and becomes payable immediately. The daily accruals of the performance fee are aggregated in order to determine a positive or negative end-result. If the end-result at the end of each quarter is negative, no performance fee will be paid. A negative end-result will however not be brought forward from one quarter to another. The performance fee accrued on each valuation day will equal: N x 10% x (NAV1 – NAV2) Where: N = the number of shares in issue in the relevant class of shares on the relevant valuation day ; NAV1 = the net asset value per share on the relevant valuation day (net asset value prior to the accrual of a performance fee) ; NAV2 = the net asset value per share on the preceding valuation day (net asset value after the accrual of any performance fee on that date). Zenit Multistrategy Sicav StockZenit Multistrategy Sicav StockZenit Multistrategy Sicav StockZenit Multistrategy Sicav Stock----Picking SubPicking SubPicking SubPicking Sub----FundFundFundFund :::: The SICAV will pay to the Management Company, at the end of each financial year, a performance fee equal to 20% of the outperformance of the Zenit Multistrategy Sicav Stock-Picking Sub-Fund compared with the FTSE Italia All-Share Capped benchmark. There is outperformance of the net asset value (the “NAV”) of the SICAV compared with the benchmark if the NAV performance on the last Valuation Day of the financial year under review compared to the last Valuation Day of the previous financial year (“reference NAV”) is higher than the performance of the benchmark. If there is an under-performance for a given period or a given financial year, this under-performance would not be taken into consideration. The amount of the performance fee will be accrued at each net asset value calculation, based on the average net asset value. The amount of the performance fee will be equal to 20% of the outperformance of the SICAV compared with the benchmark.

Zenit Multistrategy Sicav Zenit Multistrategy Sicav Zenit Multistrategy Sicav Zenit Multistrategy Sicav Defender Defender Defender Defender SubSubSubSub----FundFundFundFund :::: The Investment Manager is entitled to receive from the Management Company a quarterly performance fee equal to 18% of the increase of the Net Asset Value (the “NAV”) per share of each class before the calculation of the performance fee, compared to the reference NAV per share of the class. The reference NAV per share of each class is the highest NAV per share (after performance fee accrual) ever previously achieved by the class during the fiscal year (for the first fiscal year of each class the first reference NAV per share is the initial subscription price). Under the high water mark (”HWM”) principle, the reference NAV per share of the class will be maintained, as the case may be, until an outperformance of the NAV per share of the class is recorded. The HWM will be reset at each financial year end by considering as new HWM the last NAV per share of the class of the previous financial year. The amount of the performance fee will be accrued at each Net Asset Value calculation, based on the outstanding Shares of each class on the day the Net Asset Value is calculated. The amount of the provision is paid to the Management Company in favour of the Investment Manager at the end of each quarter.

NOTE 11 - EVENTS DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR
The Zenit Multistrategy Sicav Stability Sub-Fund was launched on May 19th, 2015. For all Sub-Funds except Zenit Multistrategy Sicav Defender, the Share Class Q, intended for all types of investors listed and tradable on a regulated European Stock Exchange, was opened on November 10th, 2015. On January 7th, 2016, the Board of Directors of the SICAV decided to put Zenit MultiStrategy SICAV – Defender (the “Sub-Fund”) on hold. Zenit SGR SpA, the Investment Manager and sponsor of the SICAV, immediately invited its Shareholders to redeem. The decision was motivated by the economic situation and the unsatisfactory sizeable level of assets of the Sub-Fund; these rendered the prudent asset allocation investment objectives and policy treacherous to be prolonged. Consequently, the Sub-Fund logged important redemptions from December 10th, 2015 on. The Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund felt to EUR 1.128.426,02 on December 14th, 2015. The penultimate redemption of 4.678,16 shares was communicated by the SICAV Transfer Agent on December 22nd, 2015. Due to technical issues, one redemption order had not been put in place on a timely manner. On December 22nd, 2015, when the Investment Manager liquidated the whole portfolio, the Sub-Fund still had 2.100,00 shares outstanding. From December 22nd, 2015 on, the Sub-Fund was therefore not invested pursuant to its investment policy. In addition, it was fully liquid from December 28th, 2015 on (after the settlement of all sales). On January 7th, 2016, further to the accounting of the last 2.100,00 shares redemption, the Domiciliary Agent officially announced that the Sub-Fund’s activity was on-hold from this date on.

Unaudited Information
RISK MANAGEMENT Each Sub-Fund shall ensure that the global exposure relating to financial derivative instruments does not exceed the total net value of their portfolio. Global exposure is a measure designed to limit the leverage generated by each Sub-Fund through the use of financial derivative instruments. In order to calculate its global exposure, each Sub-Fund will use the commitment approach, thereby aggregating the market value of the equivalent position of underlying assets. When using the commitment approach the maximum leverage generated by the use of financial derivative instruments will be of 100%.
