11 Director s Report AZ Multi Asset - Institutional T During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O) achieved a performance of 18.78%. The year 2016 was characterised by a situation of strong economic growth and positive returns on all major financial assets but also by a series of corrections and rapid increases in volatility, in some cases significant, usually related to political circumstances. In particular, these episodes were at the beginning of the year caused by a strong fear of a slowdown in the Chinese economy and a consequent sharp correction in commodity prices (oil in particular), then during the year there have been moments of high volatility linked to Brexit, the US elections and, ultimately, to the constitutional referendum in Italy. These episodes have presented excellent buying opportunities. The fund started the year with an equity exposure of around 60% and no government bonds, considering the valuations of the stock markets relatively more attractive than bonds, but not in absolute terms. During the year, in line with the guiding principle of not reacting to political events but only observing the valuations of financial assets, as opportunities arose related to the episodes mentioned above the equity component was gradually increased, reaching levels close to 100%, and then the results consolidated towards the end of the year, arriving close to 85%. From a geographical point of view the allocation was primarily weighted to Europe and Japan compared to the US. From a sector perspective the greatest contribution to performance came from the overweight in the first part of the year of securities in the energy, basic materials and financial sectors, which has since been gradually reduced in favour of more stable sectors like utilities and pharmaceuticals. The currency exposure, primarily in US dollars, has also contributed to performance and was gradually reduced during the year. AZ Multi Asset - Institutional Italy T During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O) achieved a performance of % The negative performance of the sub-fund over the course of 2016 was mainly due to the poor performance of the benchmark index. In 2016 the Italian stock market was the worst European market mainly because of significant long-standing exposure to the banking sector which has been adversely impacted by the need for recapitalisation arising from capital standards required by the European Central Bank. During 2016 the fund maintained a market exposure between 90% and 130%. This exposure was decided by the management team due to the levels of total market valuation that reached historical lows in both relative and absolute terms in The underperformance compared with the benchmark index is due to the decision to have an equity weight greater than 100% during the year, and especially to increase the weight of the banking sector. In the second half of the year positions in cyclical sectors were increased through investments in large caps and some mid caps linked to international exports. AZ Multi Asset - Institutional Europe D During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund MASTER (O DIS) achieved a performance of 3.80% and the class A (O) achieved a performance of 4.29%. After an extremely heavy first quarter with negative markets and credit, the fund was able to recover and closed the year at the highest levels of the period. The recovery has had two main drivers: credit and equity portfolio. In the second quarter there was a rebound in European credit thanks to the intervention of the European Central Bank, while in the last quarter, after Trump's surprise election, the world's stock markets and cyclical stocks have experienced a strong performance, even the European stock exchange recuperating all the ground lost over the previous 12 months. The sub-fund was able to achieve a significantly better performance on the equity portfolio, much better than the sxxp600 index (over 700 bps of alpha) thanks to the rotation towards securities of English exporters at mid-year and to financials and cyclicals in the second half of the year. Equity exposure was very low in the first half of the year, rising gradually in the second half of 2016 and ending the year at about 32%. The credits were increased in the first quarter (especially corporate and non-financial hybrids) and allowed the fund a good recovery due to the narrowing of the spread in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year credits from the banking and insurance sectors were increased to improve the yield to maturity but did not contribute to the performance of the sub-fund due to the continuing banking crisis, especially Italian banks. Alternative strategies (arbitrage) provided a stable base for the investment in activities having low and intermediate volatility and had a positive contribution of just under one percentage point. These strategies have been expanded, making up more than 20% of the fund at the end of the year. Currencies did not play a significant role in the final performance of the product, with the exception of a small existing position in pounds sterling during the Brexit referendum. In the second half of the year the currency exposure remained at the lowest level of the last few years. The sub-fund experienced a slight increase in annual volatility in the first quarter and then gradually declined to levels not far from historical averages (last result at 250 days = 7.2%). 8

12 Director s Report AZ Multi Asset -BTPortfolio During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O) achieved a performance of 0.17%. Throughout 2016 the sub-fund maintained a duration greater than the benchmark, which is 3.1 years (90% MTS medium term and 10% MTS monetary), always remaining above 4 years. The European Central Bank's continued purchasing of government bonds throughout the year maintained a protective shield over the securities of the European periphery (Italy, Spain and Portugal). There were some episodes of volatility during the year, coinciding with the political events of Brexit, the US elections and the Italian constitutional referendum, but each time the downward swings provided a good opportunity for buying. The duration above the benchmark is explained by the continuous fall in yields on the short portion of the yield curve, ending up below zero up to three years in duration. The part of the curve between 3 and 6-7 years remains the most efficient in terms of risk/return. By the end of the year, more purely economic elements came into play in addition to the political events noted before: Europe is tending towards greater growth than in the recent past, and particularly inflation, aided by the rise in energy prices, has resumed its journey toward the ECB's goal of 2%. These two factors make the structure of German rates very risky, and as the Italian political situation does not allow easy optimism on the progress of its spread with the last increase in yields subsequent to the referendum on the Constitution, for the first time the opportunity was not taken to buy more long-term securities. With each passing month this new strategy will bring the duration of the portfolio in line with the benchmark. AZ Multi Asset - Renminbi Opportunites During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund MASTER (O non hedged) achieved a performance of -0.47%. In Q1 2016, softening of the Dollar Index and a stabilization of the EM currencies helped the Chinese Currency on taking off most of the negativity versus the Chinese economy and sub sequentially the Chinese currency. The market was speculating about a depreciation of the Chinese currency over The story of the stabilization/recovery in the EM market and a softening of the US Dollar would help the CNY to stabilize over the year. Also, the next 5-year plan of the Chinese Government would be the important checkpoint for the currency trend. As expected, they brought more confidence for the Chinese economy. Although CNY turned weak, rates were still moving up. This negative bias has impacted the CNH forward curve bringing the 1 year deposit rate to 4% and the duration of the portfolio would increase gradually (4.6 months at the moment with 3.96% YTM). In Q2, the market has been experienced a continuation of the Dollar Index weakness due to a more dovish American central bank and a consequently stabilization of the EM currencies. This helped the Chinese Economy on taking off most of the negativity and a continuous improvement of macro data has helped the international view about the Chinese stabilization.due to the Commodities rally and the Global EM stabilization even Chinese rates have started to softened, bringing 1 year rates down to 3.75%. This positive bias took down the yield of fund to 3.67% and the duration was 5.7 months. By then, the UK referendum and a big reversal happened in the FX market have been bringing pressure on the Chinese currency. Due to the selloff rates in China have stabilized 1 year rates is approximately 3.55%. The selloff helped the fund on increasing the overall yield moving it up from 3.67% up to 3.72% in June. In Q3, even with a stable USD and Dollar Index weakness versus some EM currencies, the Chinese currency suffer a setback primarily for the worry of the anniversary of the August 2015 devaluation and secondly for the expectation of the increase of interest rate in US. Deposit rates in China have stabilized, 1 year rates is approximately 3.30%, with spike on short term funding as the Central Bank is withdrawing extra liquidity moving short term deposit rate higher. We have seen 1 week deposit moving up to 5%. This liquidity action caused repricing of our existing deposit causing our fund to underperform the currency monthly performance. In Q4, the big rally of the USD Index and consequently a risk off on all the Emerging Market currencies, the Chinese currency suffered a big selloff. Chinese macro data were coming out better than expectation and this would be a good support for the currency. Deposit rates in China have been spiked due to the US election, 1 year rates was moving approximately to 4.20%.This movement caused repricing of our existing deposit, hence our fund underperformed the currency monthly performance. The repricing of the deposits at bid improved the overall yield to 4.32%, with a duration just above 5 months. We were increasing now our duration to aim to get to 1 year duration over the next few Quarters to benefit from higher interest rate. 9

13 Director s Report AZ Mulit Asset - Renminbi Opportunties Fixed Income During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund Master (O non hedged) achieved a performance of 3.03%. In Q1 2016, the performance of the fund was positively impacted by the movement of the currency and a tightening of some bid offer spreads of the corporate bonds in the portfolio. The People s Bank of China (PBOC) cut again the Reserve Ratio of the banks, moving down the forward curve of the interest market and bringing a positive mark to market effect for the portfolio holdings. As some of the bonds have expired during the month, we have taken the opportunity to buy some new bonds to increase the duration yield. The duration of the portfolio was just below 2 years and the fund at this moment held 80 bonds with a YTM of 8.95%. In Q2, the fund s performance was furthered impacted by the continuous tightening of some bid offer spreads of the corporate bonds while part of the returns was squeezed by the weaken of the CNH currency at this period. Positive macro data from China and a buying from Global investor in Local Currency Bonds gave an extra performance at our portfolio. We have taken the opportunity to buy some new deposit after some bonds expiration as we didn t find a good value on buy duration and credit risk at the moment and wait for a pull back to increase our duration. The duration was maintained just below 2 years and the fund held 68 bonds with a YTM of 6.89%. In Q3, the weakening of the CNH currency kept impacting the fund s performance but stabilization on the macro data from China and a buying from Global investor in Local Currency Bonds gave an extra support of the return. Starting from October, the fund was negatively impacted by widening of spread do to the broad EM market selloff and the currency movement. At the end of 2016, the duration was down to 1.52 years with a YTM of 5%. We expected to increase the duration in the coming quarters and reach the target to 4 years at the end of AZ Mulit Asset - Institutional Macro Dynamic Trading During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O) achieved a performance of 0.92% In Q1 2016, we have experienced a wild volatility in our bond and equity portfolio. We have increased our exposure in both but cut it at the end of the month benefiting from the rally infra month. We have traded during the market movement equity futures, and we have reduced our equity exposure to 10% from 16%. For the fixed income (52%) exposure, we suffered some loss as well due to the bid offer spread widening on some of our EM part while benefiting at the end of the month from the monthly purchased (fixed income duration of 1.2 years and a yield of 4.8%, 2.2% yield for the whole fund). We have increased our bond portfolio from 47% to 52% (including deposits). The market would be very volatile over the next few months, where we would be able to position the fund for the whole year. We would take any selloff opportunity in Equity, Credit and FX to increase the risk of the fund to benefit for the 2016 of a still positive view we have on the risk market. In Q2, we have traded some equity futures and option during the month and maintained our equity exposure from 12% to 11%. We still found value on our EM fixed income allocation, and we have not touched this asset over the month. We still believe we will have better opportunity to enter the HY Bond space during market sell off (around 48% fixed income exposure now). We have increased our exposure on the USD (vs and JPY) after the recent sell off as we do believe the movement has been too fast. We took profit on some of our EM currency vs, especially on long ZAR, long MXN, long AUD. We are still keeping some of our EM currency exposure long versus the JPY and CHF. The market keeps performing quite well, specially supported by Precious Metal and Energy. In Q3, we have been very quiet on the trading activity side to wait a pull back to increase our risk exposure. We kept our risk position to 10%. We have increased our exposure to alpha commodities strategies benefiting from the curve and positive carry that commodities offer. We will increase our exposure on any pull back. We are taking some profit on some EM currencies vs and USD as they have performed exceptionally well during the summer. After the negative performance of November, most of the trades that didn t work for the US Election started to work again for the US rate hike. Our gain came mostly from the narrowing on the EM bonds spread as our exposure is approximately 55% of EM hard currencies bonds. During the last month of 2016, we have increased our risk exposure trading European Equities and increasing USD Equity exposure. We have increased our Japanese Equity exposure and we have increased our exposure on the Japanese yen. We have maintained our risk profile around 22% of the portfolio. We have kept our EM currencies exposure versus USD specially focusing on Colombian Peso, India Rupee and South African Rand, maintaining constant our net risk exposure. 10

14 Director s Report AZ Multi Asset - Institutional Commodity Trading During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O) achieved a performance of 20.17%. At the beginning of 2016, the commodity market was very volatile and suffered from a sell-off in the first two months. In March, the market finally had a risk on rally due to different reason primarily for the agreement of the OPEC and NON OPEC producer to fix a cap on Oil supply, the Oil story plus some better data coming out from China produced a rally on the commodities space. On top of these news the US central bank came out more dovish than expected producing a sell off on the American currency and benefiting the commodity space too. Even with our positive view on the commodity space we started to take some profit on our overweight position on the Commodities index reducing our total exposure from 120% to 102%. We mostly took profit on all our Equity exposure and we are starting to accumulate exposure to Gold as we believe will be the commodity that most will benefit from the weak USD. In Q2, the market short covering was keeping the commodities space well demanded. We have increased tactically during the month our exposure to over 100% taking profit at the end of April. As the volatility would be a predominant part on this space over this year, we tried to be opportunistic of the space with trading activity moving our exposure from 90% invested to 110%. The market kept performing quite well, especially supported by Precious Metal and Energy and the exposure was mainly focused on the longer part of the commodities escaping the negative carry cost in the various commodities. After the commodities rally of the first half of the year as like in July, August has been a negative month. We have increased our total exposure from 109%, to 115% as we do believe we will have a rally on the commodity space over the next months. We have increased our exposure to Precious Metal and Energy even buying some Equity exposure. The performance for the commodity sector was mixed, with energy leading the way up +6.12%. In contrast, Base and Precious Metals traded -3.27% and -4.03% lower. While Livestock and Agriculture ended the month down -0.46% and -5.72%, respectively. We were becoming more and more positive on the commodities space as we are starting to see a rebalancing of demand/supply. In Q4, we have maintained our overexposure as we have a positive view on commodities over the next few months. Our total exposure is around 115%. On top of the demand supply we believe another positive boos for commodities prices will be the softening of the US dollar. AZ Multi Asset - World Trading During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O RETAIL) achieved a performance of -4.71%. The macroeconomic environment showed decent economic growth both in developed countries and in most of the emerging ones, significantly attenuating the geographic differences that occurred in the previous year. In 2016 the United States continued its multiple years of economic growth. Europe slightly improved its lifeless growth, also improving the deflationary environment. Most of the emerging countries (particularly Brazil), thanks to a strong recovery in oil prices and other commodities, experienced a marked recovery in economic growth. China, thanks to a devaluation of the renminbi against the US dollar in the second part of 2016, increased its GDP by about 6.7%. The negative performance of the sector in a market characterised by considerable volatility caused primarily by political events (raising the "systemic risk" in the first half of the year, Brexit at mid-year, the US presidential elections and a referendum on constitutional reform in Italy in the second half of the year) is essentially due to "stop loss" as well as to hedging transactions, proved quite costly in a market environment with continued "risk-on and risk-off", and the net underperformance by 15-20% of Swiss stocks in the portfolio (Roche, Nestlé and Novartis) which had produced significantly positive results in previous years. With regard to these last securities, the strategy of long-term "buy and hold" is still deemed to be rewarding. The historic volatility of the sub-fund, though slightly increasing, has remained limited to little more than 5% per annum. The asset allocation at year-end was as follows: Short-term liquid assets (including through government securities): 23% Corporate and government bonds: 7% Shares (of which about 15% of Swiss stocks like Roche, Nestlé and Novartis): 70%. AZ Mulit Asset - Global Tactical Asset Allocation (G.T.A.A.) Formerly denominated AZ Multi Asset - Global Tactical Asset Allocation (G.T.A.A.) During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O RETAIL) achieved a performance of -3.29% and the class B (O RETAIL) achieved a performance of -3.69%. The reason is fully attributable to the underperformance of trend-following models. We believe that the latter are in the final stage of a negative cycle that is now at its end. However, we made a radical change to the investment policy that provides for: a) The multiplication of the trend-following models (in order to reduce the noise component that any active investment policy inevitably brings with it) b) The introduction of mean reversion models (in order to be less dependent on a single source of performance) 11

15 Director s Report AZ Multi Asset - FLEX During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O RETAIL) achieved a performance of 11.96%. This was mainly thanks to the contrarian model that in recent years has performed particularly well. Although we believe that the immediate future should continue to be favourable for this type of model and therefore has a structurally low trading range regime and volatility (especially for Europe) we deem it expedient to expand the modelling, ranging from statistical arbitrage (pair trading) to event driven and trend following. AZ Multi Asset - Romeo During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O DIS) achieved a performance of 1.65%. During the year the sub-fund maintained a steady diversification across asset classes, investment styles and management companies. On average one third of the portfolio was invested in third-party funds having balanced or multi-asset strategies. About a quarter of the portfolio was allocated to funds having a total return objective, both equity based and bond based. The rest of the portfolio was invested in equities, bonds and commodities through the use of funds and ETFs, while the use of derivatives was limited. The bond exposure was gradually decreased during the year in favour of alternative strategies such as equitymarket-neutral, merger arbitrage and cat bonds. AZ Multi Asset - MAMG Global Sukuk Formerly denominated AZ Multi Asset - Global Sukuk. During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (USD DIS) achieved a performance of 2.73%. Initially the year was marked by a decline in prices of energy and petroleum, which in particular reached the lowest levels of the last 15 years. In fact, Middle Eastern economies had to adopt a series of fiscal and budget policies to finance deficits that had never occurred before. The rating agencies have incorporated these dynamics with downgrades of all the Middle Eastern countries (particularly with Bahrain, judged to be sub-ig). The recovery of energy prices in the second half of the year occurred simultaneously with the first increases in reference rates in 10 years by the Fed (50 bp total) and the de facto conclusion of QE in the US. The resulting movement in market rates has introduced a new element of volatility for the sukuk market, also considering the impact on the economies of some countries needing external refinancing like Malaysia, Indonesia and Turkey. November's presidential election in the US contributed markedly to the expectations of a further tightening of monetary policies with a significant repricing of rates. Nevertheless, the sukuk market received support from an extraordinary agreement between participating countries and those outside the OPEC cartel to reduce production output of oil, the impact on prices allowing for a narrowing of spreads for issuers in the Middle East. Managers have pursued a management policy with a gradual reduction of the portfolio duration to 3.5, increasing the diversification of issuers to 61 (with up to 42% of the NAV invested in issuers outside the Middle East), and keeping an average portfolio rating equal to BBB or investment grade equivalent. At the same time they kept a minimum exposure to non-usd issues up to a maximum of 6% of the NAV (GBP,, MYR, SGD). AZ Multi Asset - CGM Valor Flexible Strategies Fund During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O) achieved a performance of -2.00%. The months of January, February, June, September, October and November contributed negatively, in particular the months of January, February and June. With regard to the bond strategies, in the early months of the year, the fund benefited from the performance of a core long only strategy (the 10-year Bund yield reached negative returns) but was negatively affected by the long/short credit strategies and partly also by the corporate high yield and financials strategies. Also in the early months of the year we underweighted the convertible strategies in a particularly bad period for equity indices. Once Brexit fears had been overcome, we started to underweight core long only strategies in favour of corporate high-yield and financials, essentially leaving unchanged the weight of l/s credit and convertible strategies. With regard to equity strategies, the fund was unable to benefit from l/s equity and market neutral strategies, which on the contrary significantly penalised the fund's performance. The contribution of the long-only strategies was positive, and in the last quarter we increased the weight of the global equity strategies to 10%. With regard to the weight of the strategies we have always followed the guidelines of our model. At year end the fund's duration was During the year we kept the weight of the global strategies in USD to about 10%. 12

16 Director s Report AZ Multi Asset - CGM Valor Bond Strategies Fund During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O) achieved a performance of -0.20%. The months of January, February, April, June, September, October and November contributed negatively. In the early months of the year, the fund benefited from the performance of a core long only strategy (the Bund yield reached negative returns) but was negatively affected by the long/short credit strategies and partly also by the corporate high yield and financials strategies. Also in the early months of the year we underweighted the convertible strategies in a particularly bad period for equity indices. Once Brexit fears had been overcome, we started to underweight core long only strategies in favour of corporate high-yield and financials, essentially leaving unchanged the weight of l/s credit and convertible strategies. At year end the fund's duration was During the year we kept the weight of the global strategies in USD to about 10%. AZ Multi Asset - Asia Absolute During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund MASTER (O hedged) achieved a performance of -5.10% was probably one of the most volatile years that we have seen so far which started with global markets selling off sharply in the first few of days of trading triggered by China s A-share market before forming a V-shaped recovery in early February. And by the end of the first quarter, the markets recovered all of those losses. The sharp sell-off was caught most investors unawares, including us and the fund largely traded with the market during the first quarter of The key event in the second quarter of 2016 was the Brexit referendum and by May, the VIX index (a measure of volatility) had bottomed. Expecting increased volatility from the Brexit referendum in June, the fund started adding positions in VIX call spreads as well as index put spreads in countries most vulnerable to a Brexit decision such as Hong Kong and Singapore. Equity positioning was also reduced substantially as the referendum neared. Given the fund s slightly negative beta positioning prior to the referendum, the Yes vote that materialized did provide some gains for the fund, but the subsequent recovery was far too swift to make any sustained gains. The Brexit decision essentially led to a postponement of further rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve which ended up being beneficial for Asian equities. As the rate hike overhang faded, EM inflows increased significantly in the third quarter, especially in Indonesia where a tax amnesty program attracted funds to be repatriated onshore and invested in the domestic capital markets. As such, Asia markets continued to rally in the third quarter, but the fund was more cautious as the rally seemed over-extended and as a result missed most of the gains in the third quarter. But that rally came to a halt as Donald Trump won the US presidential election in November. Trump s campaign promises of a more protectionist trade stance will be negative for the Asian export economies, especially Korea and Taiwan. Additionally, his domestic policies are largely pro-inflationary which could lead to increased interest rates and will be negative for rate-sensitive countries such as Hong Kong and Singapore. And consequently, higher rates will lead to a stronger dollar which will be negative for Asia EM countries especially Indonesia. Although China exports to the US is significant, it imports just as much and it still has some domestic levers to pull if exports do slow. Hence, the impact of reduced exports will be somewhat softened. Additionally, increased Chinese hegemony in the region will be a potential long-term benefit for Chinese equities as Chinese corporations increase their foray into Asia. As a result, the portfolio positioning after the US election was more weighted towards China with a negative bias towards ASEAN equities. The volatility in global markets in 2016 essentially prevented the US Federal Reserve raising rates for the most of the year until after the US election in November and indicated it will raise rates another two or three times in That will continue to be data dependent and more specifically, it will be dependent on the effects of possible pro-inflationary policies by the Trump administration. AZ Multi Asset - Sustainable Absolute Return The sub-fund was merged with the AZ Multi Asset - Sustainable Equity Trend Sub-fund in December As at December 7, 2016, the Sub-fund achieved a performance of -6.94%. The level of stock investment of the fund has varied between 20% and 73%, consistent with the recommendations of the equity allocation model, using an international basket of sustainable equity and dynamically covering exposure with equity futures. 13

17 Director s Report AZ Multi Asset - Equity Trend During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O RETAIL) achieved a performance of -6.20%. The fund's portfolio was put together during the last few days of October, paying utmost attention to the fund's mandate. A global equity portfolio was then launched by selecting securities from a universe of companies with underlying activities that are sustainable from an ethical and social point of view, as well as environmental impact and corporate governance. From the companies having these essential characteristics, investments were made based on the fundamental valuation, management quality and growth opportunities, also taking into consideration the sector in which they operate. From a geographical point of view, the fund maintained an underweight exposure to the US, focusing instead on investing in European equities. Japan was kept neutral. The portfolio maintained a low exposure to financial and real estate sectors to encourage exposure to defensive sectors like pharmaceuticals and consumer goods where buying opportunities were created with regard to the dynamic rise in long-term government interest rates. The currency exposure was kept entirely open. AZ Multi Asset - Sustainable Hybrid Bonds During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O) achieved a performance of 6.18% and the class A (O RETAIL DIS) achieved a performance of % After the first few months of panic and sell-offs caused by the collapse of commodity prices, thanks to purchases by the ECB there was a rapid repurchasing of all global bonds, in particular in the Euro investment grade area. Hybrid securities have significantly benefited from the narrowing of spreads. After the summer, the scarcity of securities for sale caused a further tightening of spreads. The asset allocation will remain unchanged for AZ Multi Asset - Global Value During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O RETAIL) achieved a performance of 3.64%. The fund invests mainly in funds managed using a "value style". This fund can invest both in global equity sub-funds, and in specialised sub-funds focused on individual macro-regions (Europe, USA, Japan, Asia, emerging countries) and in specialised sub-funds in a single country. The sub-fund is "flexible" and as such can actively manage net exposure. Despite not being restricted by any specific benchmarks, the index that is the most representative is the MSCI All Country World. The sub-fund started the year with a cautious stance in view of the corrective movement that had been under way for several months. The net exposure in early January was around 70%, and in mid-february was increased to 85%.The bullish move from the lows was deemed too large and sudden, and therefore in the second half of the month of March the net exposure was lowered to 50%, waiting to see what would be the outcome and consequences of the Brexit referendum. With the correction that occurred post Brexit the net exposure was returned to between 80% and 90% to take advantage of a possible market rebound after the sharp correction that was triggered immediately after the announcement of the results. Starting from the end of July it was felt that the market rebound from the post-brexit lows was excessive in light of the rising medium-term risks created by the Brexit, the incipient US elections and a possible resumption of the increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve. In November it was decided that the election of Trump, although he had generated an immediate and substantial rise in American share prices, represents a further important element of uncertainty, considering the importance of the political and economic decisions of the US government for the markets and for the rest of the world. Therefore, from the month of August and until the end of year it was considered appropriate to maintain a conservative approach, with a stable equity exposure at around 40%. AZ Multi Asset - RIN Balanced Equity During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O) achieved a performance of 5.40%. The sub-fund pursues a directional strategy, primarily through investments in equity securities, and the remainder in bonds. The average equity exposure from the launch (September 2016) has been around 80%. During the year, the equity positions were invested in the primary European markets. The weight of the different countries has been on average 22% for France, 18% for Germany, 10% for the UK and 6% for Italy. As far as bonds are concerned, the choice was made to invest in sub-investment grade securities that have the potential to become investment grade, with an average duration of approximately 5 years. The currency position in relation to the assets in the portfolio has been contained, on average below 20% of the total assets, mainly with positions in GBP and CHF. 14

18 Director s Report AZ Multi Asset - RIN G.A.M.E.S. During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O) achieved a performance of 4.20%. The sub-fund pursues a directional strategy, primarily through investments in equity securities, and the remainder in bonds. The average equity exposure from the launch (September 2016) has been around 85%. During the year, the equity positions were invested in major global markets, namely US, Europe and Japan. The weighted average of the different geographical areas was on average 52% for the US, 25% for Europe and 10% for Japan. As far as bonds are concerned, the choice was made to invest in Italian financials which offer attractive yields considering the risk profile. The currency position relative to the assets in the portfolio was variable over time, with USD around 25-30% for most of the period under consideration. AZ Multi Asset Brazil Value During the year 2016, the class of the Sub-fund A (O) achieved a performance of -4.00%. The year of 2016 was surprisingly in Brazil. In January, there was no expectations that president Dilma was going to be impeached as she had the majority of both lower and upper house. However, the population indignation level reached a high level and the country managed to organize one of the largest rallies that ever took place in the history to protest against the former government. That was the game changer that lead the fall of the workers party (Partido dos trabalhadores). It s interesting to note that the legal framework during the year was pretty impressive as a politicians and businessman were arrested for the first time due to corruption. The level of impunity is being reduced as operation "lava jato takes place. The economic indicators were negative. The recession for the second year in a row showed a GDP contraction of 3%, unemployment rose from 9% to 11,9% and the industrial production was down 7,1% in the year until November. The social security deficit rose 50% to R$ 142 billion. On the positive side, inflation (measured by IPCA) fell 10,67% in 2015 to 6,29% by year end. The real strengthen from 3,96 to 3,25 versus the dollar. The trade balance showed a surplus of RS$ 47,7 billion more than doubling from previous year. In addition, consumer confidence rose from 64,9% to 73,3%. The future interest rates went down from 16,71% to 11,09%. The economic team from President Michel Temer had names to the economic team, with a great reputation. Even Temer is known to be a distinguished negotiator. He knows how to deal with the congress, the judiciary power and with all society as opposed to Dilma. All the names he choose were aligned with fiscal austerity and efficiency in the state owned companies. Also the national development bank is now being much more diligent when conceding loans than previously. Making the long history short, the reorganization of the country during the year and its new power structure will pave the way for the so needed reforms (social security, fiscal and workers laws) and the reduction of interest rates. Due to the overall improvement of Brazilian perspectives, we decided to lunch an equity fund that started close to the year-end (November 2016). By year-end, the fund was down 4,04%.

114 Notes to the financial statements as at December 31, 2016 (continued) Note 3. Siginificant accounting principles All securities held by the sub-funds at period end have been valued based on closure prices as at June 30, The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with the regulations in force in Luxembourg regarding Undertakings for collective investment. a) Combined statement for the various sub-funds AZ MULTI ASSET (combined) financial statements are expressed and correspond to the total of the financial statements of the sub-funds that, if denominated in currencies other than, have been translated at the exchange rate of June 30, b) Currency translation The accounts of each Sub-fund are held in the currency its net asset value and financial statements are expressed in. The purchase price of securities acquired in a currency other than the Sub-fund's one is translated into the Sub-fund currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of securities acquisition. Income and expenses denominated in a currency other than the Sub-fund's one are translated into the Sub-fund currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. At the closing date, securities valuation values (determined in the manner described below), receivables, bank deposits and debts denominated in a currency other than the Sub-fund's one are translated into the Sub-fund currency at the exchange rate prevailing on that date. Exchange differences arising from the translation of receivables, bank deposits and debts shall be included in the net foreign exchange result of the period recorded in the statement of operations and changes in net assets under the item Realised Profit/(Loss) on exchange. c) Asset valuation The valuation of assets and commitments of each Sub-fund shall be carried out as follows: 1) the value of liquidity held in cash or in deposits, directly payable securities and payables, advance payments, dividends, profits and/or interest due but not yet collected, shall be composed of the par value of the said entries, unless it is unlikely that they will be actually received. In this case, the value shall be established by subtracting the amount deemed appropriate to reflect the real value of the assets; Estimated with prudence and good faith by the Management Company 2) the valuation of transferable securities and money market instruments listed or traded on the stock market or other regulated market which operates regularly, is recognised and open to the public, is based on the price on the last business day ("Valuation Date") prior to the Calculation Day (as defined in chapter 5 of the Management Regulations). If a transferable security or money market instrument is traded on more than one market, the valuation is based on the last known price on the Valuation Date of the main market of the said security or instrument. If the last known price on the Valuation Date is not representative, the valuation shall be based on the likely net breakup value, prudentially estimated in good faith by the Company; 3) transferable securities and money market instruments not listed or traded on a regulated market which operates regularly, is recognised and open to the public, will be valued based on the likely net breakup value, prudentially estimated in good faith by the Company; 4) units of undertakings for collective investment are valued based on the last net asset value available; 5) assets expressed in a currency other than the base currency of the Sub-fund in question shall be converted at the last available exchange rate; 6) all other assets shall be valued based on the likely net breakup value, which must be estimated with due care and in good faith by the Company. 7) The Sukuk is valued as an obligation. The Sukuk is a Sharia-compliant alternative to interest-bearing investment certificates, sukuk are often considered as Islamic bonds. They offer to Islamic investors a way of subscribing certificates that replicate the remuneration of a conventional rate negotiable on the secondary market. d) Valuation of Forward Foreign exchange Contracts The unexpired forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the last "forward" rate available on the valuation dates or at the balance sheet date and unrealised gains or losses are recorded. Realised gains or losses and the resulting changes in unrealised gains or losses are included in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. e) Options A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price ( strike price ) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller. The premiums paid for the options are included in the asset and considered as an investment, they are compensated with the result of the right given by the purchases or lost if the option is not used. The realised gains or losses and the resulting changes in unrealised gains or losses are included in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. The liquidation value of options not traded on stock exchanges is determined under the regulations established by the Board of Directors, according to uniform criteria for each category of contracts. 111

115 Notes to the financial statements as at December 31, 2016 (continued) Note 3. Siginificant accounting principles (continued) f) Futures contracts Future contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. When entering into a futures contract, the sub-fund is required to deposit with the broker, treasury or securities an amount equal to a certain percentage of the amount of the contract, referred to as the initial margin account. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received periodically by the sub-fund and are based in the market value of open futures contracts. The future contracts are valued based on the last available market price. Realised and unrealised gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. For the calculation of net investments in financial instruments by currency, investments are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at period end. g) Contracts for Difference (CFD) The valuation of a CFD shall reflect at all times the difference between the latest known price of the underlying security and the valuation that was taken into account when determining the transactions. Realised gains or losses and the resulting changes in unrealised gains or losses are included in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. h) Total Return Swap (TRS) A Total Return Swap is a contract for the exchange of the total performance of a bond or other underlying asset (stock, index, etc.) against the rate of a benchmark index including spread. The total performance includes interest coupons, dividends and capital gains and losses on the underlying asset over the life of the contract, depending on the type of underlying asset. The risk of this type of arrangement lies in the fact that the profits of each counterparty depend on the performance of the underlying asset over time, which is unknown at the time of signing the contract. Total Return Swap contracts are valued at their last-known market price. Realised gains /(losses) and the resulting Changes in unrealised gains or (losses) are included in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets under item Swaps. As at December 31, 2016, the open Total Return Swap contracts are detailed within Securities portfolio. i) Income Bank and bond Interests are recorded pro rata temporis. Dividends are recorded on the payment date net of withholding taxes. Other income mainly includes repayment fees, exceptional financial profit. j) Set up fees Set up fees are amortised on a straight-line basis over 5 years. k) Investment in other sub-funds of the same Fund A Sub-fund can subscribe, acquire and/or hold securities to be issued or issued by one or more other Sub-funds of the Fund. These activities are performed under the law of 17 December 2010, as amended, concerning Undertakings for Collective Investment, which provides for the following requirements: a) the target sub-fund does not invest in turn in the sub-fund that has invested in this target sub-fund, and b) the part of assets that the target sub-funds being acquired may invest overall, pursuant to the management regulations, in units of other target Sub- funds of the Fund does not exceed 10%; and c) There is no double withdrawal of management/subscription or redemption fees which are levied for the sub-fund investing in the target sub-fund as well as for the target sub-fund.
