4 4 CS Fund 3 Unaudited Report on Activities from June 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018* Credit Suisse 130/30 Swiss Equity Fund Credit Suisse Equity Fund Swissac There was little movement in the Swiss equity market in the reporting period, with the Swiss Performance Index (SPI) falling by 0.8% up to the end of May. While the small/mid cap segment rose by 8.9%, large-cap stocks lost 3.1% on average. After a subdued period in the summer of 2017, the market moved into a rally in the fall thanks to strong economic and corporate data. By mid-january the SPI was up by around 10%. Rising interest rates and inflation fears combined with slightly more subdued economic data then sparked off the first major market sell-off for some time. The signs of a recovery by mid-april were followed by another drop in share prices thereafter. In addition to the reasons already mentioned, the higher tariffs imposed by the US, the normalization of central banks' monetary policies, geopolitical tensions, and renewed fears over Europe also led to uncertainties which were reflected in increased equity market volatility. Most of the segments in the SPI posted very similar performance in the 12-month reporting period and rose by between 0.3% and 1.2%. Defensive shares were the one area that clearly underperformed (-4.0%). While we further increased the underweight in defensive stocks during the reporting period, we maintained our overweight in growth and cyclical stocks. Although growth stocks are no longer cheap, they have aboveaverage earnings momentum. We carried out switches into both cyclical and growth stocks. We took profits in some areas and participated in IPOs. After the sharp fall in its share price and management changes, LafargeHolcim was added to the portfolio. We maintained our underweight in financials. The valuation of the Swiss equity market has improved considerably over the past year. The 12-month forward PE fell from 18.1 to Earnings revisions were positive and expected 2019 earnings have risen by 2.8% over the last 12 months. 10-year government bond yields approached the zero mark and were 10 basis points higher than at the end of May 2017 at %. The risk premium improved by half of one percentage point to 6.4%. The estimated dividend yield for the current fiscal year rose by 0.2% to an attractive 3.4%. Although valuation remains relatively high in a long-term comparison, this does not mean that the equity markets cannot continue to perform well going forward. However, this is conditional on the economic growth data and corporate earnings continuing to improve, as expected by us, with the support of pro-growth fiscal policy and monetary policy that does not become overly restrictive. However, the uncertainty referred to in the first paragraph is likely to continue to lead to volatile markets. Credit Suisse (CH) Swiss Real Estate Securities Fund After the very strong performance last year, the market for indirect real estate investments consolidated in the reporting period. Overall, the market was down by just under 1%, with real estate funds (-2.1%) underperforming real estate companies (+0.8%) by a clear margin. This is likely to have been mainly due to the very high issuance activity of the funds relative to real estate companies. The 10-year Swiss government bond yield traded in a narrow range of -0.2% to +0.2% in the reporting period and stood at -0.07% at May 31, Currently, the most important driver of the Swiss economy is the extremely dynamic global economy. Last year was the best in a decade for the euro zone, the most important market for Swiss exports. The euro zone should continue growing at a similar rate in 2018, as falling unemployment keeps the recovery on a firm footing. There is effectively full employment in the US and the tax cuts and spending increases by the US government may even overstimulate demand in the short term. Growth remains robust in the emerging markets, although it is still on the sluggish side by past standards. The outlook for the rental accommodation market has deteriorated further. This is evidenced by growing vacancies, rising pressure on rents, and tenants increasingly gaining the upper hand outside the major centers. However, thanks to high yield premiums, investors are not being put off by the increasing risks and are continuing to invest in the rental accommodation market. Rental apartment construction therefore remains at a very high level. At the same time, the market is facing falling demand, as immigration is steadily slowing. However, the ongoing robust economic recovery should have a supportive impact. Nonetheless, we expect a continued fall in rents by around 1% in There are increasing signs of an improvement in conditions for the office market. As there are no indications that new supply is being held back significantly, hopes are focused entirely on a gradual recovery of the Swiss economy in 2018 and that this will stimulate sufficient demand for new space. The trend of falling sales in retailing has come to a halt. However, major growth disparities between online and high street retailing combined with rising bankruptcy rates indicate that the structural change in the sector is still in full swing. We believe department stores and shopping areas in B and C locations are at greatest risk. In spite of the above, the yields of direct and indirect real estate investments remain attractive. Overall, we expect the performance of indirect real estate investments to weaken slightly in the coming years, but do not expect the market to go into reverse. The ongoing hunt for yield is unlikely to change much in the foreseeable future. As a result, real estate investments with an average yield should be able to largely continue the excellent performance of recent years. Overall, the fund is positioned conservatively; on valuation and yield grounds we favor equities over funds, and office and commercial over residential.

5 CS Fund 3 5 Credit Suisse (CH) Small and Mid Cap Switzerland Equity Fund The small/mid cap segment rose by 9% during the period under review. After a subdued spell in the summer of 2017, the market moved into a rally in the fall thanks to strong economic and corporate earnings data. By mid-january the SPIEX was up by around 15%. Rising interest rates and inflation fears combined with slightly weaker economic data then led to the first major market sell-off for some time. There was some recovery in April, before volatility rose again in May. Besides the reasons already mentioned, the higher tariffs imposed by the US, the normalization of central banks' monetary policies, and geopolitical tensions combined with renewed fears over Europe led to rising uncertainty. Within the SPIEX the segments performed very differently during the reporting period. While growth stocks from the technology sector rose sharply, defensive and value stocks underperformed the market. We believe the economic cycle has moved into its late stage and have therefore gradually reduced the risk profile in the fund. Among other changes, we took profits on highly-priced tech and medtech shares. We currently favor value stocks with commodity exposure, interest rate-sensitive stocks and, on a selective basis, more defensive securities. The valuation of Swiss small/mid-caps has moved sideways at a high level over the past year. The 12-month forward P/E ratio is around 23. Earnings revisions have been positive, and expected earnings for 2019 have risen along with share prices in the last 12 months. The risk premium versus government bonds therefore remains attractive at around 4%. The dividend yield for the current fiscal year stands at around 2.3%. Although valuation remains relatively high in a long-term comparison, this does not mean that the equity markets cannot continue to perform well going forward. However, this is conditional on the economic growth data and corporate earnings continuing to improve. With inflation risks rising, the central banks will ultimately be forced to exit from their ultra-low interest rate policies. This will inevitably cause friction in the equity markets and lead to heightened volatility. Credit Suisse (CH) Swiss Blue Chips Equity Fund There was little movement in the Swiss equity market in the reporting period, with the Swiss Performance Index (SPI) falling by 0.8% up to the end of May. While the small/mid cap segment rose by 8.9%, large-cap stocks lost 3.1% on average. After a subdued period in the summer of 2017, the market moved into a rally in the fall thanks to strong economic and corporate earnings data. The SPI was up by around 10% by mid-january. Rising interest rates and inflation fears combined with slightly weaker economic data then led to the first major market sell-off for some time.

In addition to the reasons already mentioned, the higher tariffs imposed by the US, the normalization of central banks' monetary policies, geopolitical tensions, and renewed fears over Europe also led to uncertainties which were reflected in increased equity market volatility. Most of the segments in the SPI posted very similar performance in the 12-month reporting period and rose by between 0.3% and 1.2%. Defensive shares were the one area that clearly underperformed (-4.0%). We increased our weighting in the banking sector in the summer of In the insurance sector, we raised our weighting towards the end of the hurricane season in late autumn, and took some profits in banks in return. We reduced holdings of cyclical shares towards the end of the year. We temporarily increased our position in financial shares from January to March in anticipation of rising interest rates, before again raising our holdings of defensive shares thereafter. The valuation of the Swiss equity market has improved over the past year. The 12-month forward PE fell from 18.1 to Earnings revisions were positive and expected earnings for 2019 have risen by 2.8% in the last 12 months. 10-year government bond yields approached the zero mark and were 10 basis points higher than at the end of May 2017 at -0.07%. The risk premium improved by half of one percentage point to 6.4%. The estimated dividend yield for the current financial year rose by 0.2% to an attractive 3.4%.

6 6 CS Fund 3 Credit Suisse (CH) Swiss Dividend Plus Equity Fund There was little movement in the Swiss equity market in the reporting period, with the Swiss Performance Index (SPI) falling by 0.8% up to the end of May. While the small/mid cap segment rose by 8.9%, large-cap stocks lost 3.1% on average. After a subdued period in the summer of 2017, the market moved into a rally in the fall thanks to strong economic and corporate earnings data. The SPI was up by around 10% by mid-january.

Defensive shares were the one area that clearly underperformed (-4.0%). We increased our weighting in the banking sector in the summer of In the insurance sector, we raised our weighting towards the end of the hurricane season in late autumn, and in return reduced some positions where the dividend yield had become less attractive after a sharp rise in the share price. We also took profits on banks during this period. We increased our holdings of defensive stocks towards the end of the year. We temporarily increased the position in financial shares from January to March in anticipation of rising interest rates, before again raising our holdings of defensive shares thereafter. The valuation of the Swiss equity market has improved over the past year. The 12-month forward PE fell from 18.1 to Earnings revisions were positive and expected earnings for 2019 have risen by 2.8% in the last 12 months. 10-year government bond yields approached the zero mark and were 10 basis points higher than at the end of May 2017 at -0.07%.

However, the uncertainties mentioned in the first paragraph are likely to continue to lead to volatile markets. Credit Suisse (CH) Small Cap Switzerland Equity Fund The fund posted an absolute return of 8.6% during the reporting period and thus outperformed the benchmark, the Vontobel Small Companies Index, which saw a return of 4.8%, by 3.8%. After a subdued period in the summer of 2017, the market moved into a rally in the fall thanks to strong economic and corporate earnings data. Rising interest rates and inflation fears and somewhat subdued economic data in the first quarter of 2018 resulted in a correction in the equity markets. There was some recovery from April, before volatility rose again in May. Trade wars, the normalization of the central banks' monetary policies, geopolitical tensions, and renewed fears over Europe prevented further gains in prices. While growth stocks from the technology sector rose sharply, defensive and value stocks underperformed the market. We believe the economic cycle has moved into its late stage and have therefore gradually reduced the risk profile in the fund. Among other changes, we took profits on highly-priced tech and medtech shares. We currently favor value stocks with commodity exposure, interest rate-sensitive stocks and, on a selective basis, more defensive securities. The valuation of Swiss small/mid-caps has moved sideways at a high level over the past year. The 12-month forward P/E ratio is around 23. Earnings revisions have been positive, and expected earnings for 2019 have risen along with share prices in the last 12 months.

This will inevitably cause friction in the equity markets and lead to heightened volatility. * The information stated relates to the period under review and is not indicative of future returns.
