6 MOVESTIC SICAV - Multifond Balanserad / Annual Report as of December 31, 2015 Report of the Board of Directors Market Review 2015 Financial markets 2015 became an interesting and somewhat volatile year for the financial markets. After a strong rally many asset classes lost momentum and in combination with lower risk appetite, weaker earnings, modest growth and a tumbling oilprice, the dispersion among markets became significant. Central banks are still stimulating markets with liquidity even though the Federal Reserve (the Fed) started to raise rates, but from a historically low level. Geopolitical, the focus has been, as many times before, on Middle East, but with very limited effect on the global real economy. MOVESTIC SICAV - Multifond Balanserad The sub-fund MOVESTIC SICAV - Multifond Balanserad is an actively managed fund which primarily invests in equity related funds on a global basis, fixed income and hedge funds. The target is 50 % equity exposure and 50 % nonequity exposure. During the year, the sub-fund has successfully been invested in equity-related funds with exposure to different regions, styles and market caps. In addition to the equity exposure the fund has been invested in various fixed income funds and hedge funds. Over the year there have been some changes of underlying holdings due to diversify exposure. The sub-fund has performed as expected and is well positioned to exploit volatility and market inefficiencies. However, the management of the sub-fund does not rely on short term tactical asset allocation. MOVESTIC SICAV - Multifond Balanserad returned 1,3 %* during the reporting period.

11 MOVESTIC SICAV - Monyx Fondservice Balanserad Movestic / Annual Report as of December 31, 2015 Report of the Board of Directors Market Review 2015 Financial markets 2015 was a turbulent year in the financial markets. While many equity markets saw strong returns in the first half of the year, most markets closed the year below the highs from the summer. Despite the volatile markets, most equity markets delivered positive returns in Swedish kronor as the krona weakened during the year. In the first half of the year, equity markets generally strengthened and commodity prices stabilized after having fallen in the second half of In Europe, equity markets returned just over 4 % in Euro terms including dividends, but in Swedish kronor, the European equity market returned more than 6 %. Emerging market equities underperformed in the year and fell around 10 % in Swedish kronor, as the market feared weaker economic growth in China. In the fixed income markets, government bond yields fell at the beginning of the year, as inflation continued to fall, and central banks continued to be supportive. In spring, bond markets sold off, partly driven by higher European inflation data and government bond yields rose nevertheless in the second quarter. At the beginning of the year, the European markets were supported by the expansionary monetary policy from the European Central Bank (ECB), as the ECB initiated its quantitative easing program which was announced in January. Markets were also supported by signs of economic recovery in the Eurozone. In autumn, news media were dominated by the European migration crisis. The migration crisis also had an impact on the financial markets. Swedish bond yields weakened by the end of the year, as the market expected an increase in the supply of Swedish government bonds, as the migration crisis will lead to an increase in government spending. The Swedish Riksbank reduced interest rates to negative during the year when it reduced the repo rate from 0,0 to -0,1 % in February and announced its own quantitative easing program in spring. The Swedish Riksbank continued to decrease the repo rate with further reductions to -0,25 % in March and to -0,35 % in July, the latter being somewhat of a surprise to the market. In early summer markets were rattled by the political crisis in Greece. In late summer, financial markets in developed markets weakened in line with heavy falls in the Chinese equity markets, as the markets began to fear a slowdown in the Chinese economy. In August, markets were shaken by a surprising devaluation of the Chinese currency. At the same time, commodity prices fell, due to oversupply and decreasing demand. Equity markets recovered some of the losses in the fourth quarter as economic optimism returned to the markets. In December, the US Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) increased interest rates for the first time in nine years, as the US labour market continued to strengthen. The US equity market finished the year nearly unchanged in USD terms, including dividends. However, in Swedish kronor, the index nevertheless returned close to 10 % as the US Dollar strengthened. Credit markets weakened during the year, against a background of weaker growth expectations and falling commodity prices. Commodity prices fell dramatically during the year, with oil and iron ore prices falling more than 30 %. Many of the problems occurring in 2015 are also most likely to be valid in We expect that this could lead to continued and maybe increased volatility and uncertainty in many markets. If this occurs, we are likely going to reduce our exposure to riskier assets. MOVESTIC SICAV - Monyx Fondservice Balanserad Movestic The sub-fund s principal investment objective is to achieve a significant return on invested capital over the long term. The sub-fund will primarily invest in units or shares of UCITS or UCIs, as well as units or shares of closed or open-ended exchange traded funds, with focus on global equity markets, including equities of emerging markets, equity-related instruments and/or global fixed income and money market instruments. The sub-fund MOVESTIC SICAV - Monyx Fondservice Balanserad Movestic has gained 1,3 %* last year. The subfund had an average equity weight of 47 %. The exposure to developed equities was the main contributor to the performance whereas the exposure to fixed income contributed negatively, alternative investments were flat over the period. 9
12 MOVESTIC SICAV - Monyx Fondservice Balanserad Movestic / Annual Report as of December 31, 2015 The sub-fund had a strong first quarter followed by weakness in line with general equity markets during the summer but managed to recover some of the lost performance during the last quarter. The top performing equity region was the US followed by equities from broad developed countries. The fund also gained from a strong US Dollar against the Swedish krona and that had a positive impact on the fund s international holdings. The best performing investments in absolute numbers and measured in SEK were Öhman Etisk Index USA and JPMorgan Funds SICAV Europe Equity Plus Fund -C (acc) EUR- that contributed approximately 1 % each to the overall performance. On the negative side, the worst performing investments were the funds with fixed income holdings that were all flat or negative over the year. Franklin Templeton Global Bond Fund was the worst performer with a contribution of approximately -0,3 %. The sub-fund has not used derivatives or any currency hedging tools.

17 MOVESTIC SICAV - Trygghet 75 Movestic / Annual Report as of December 31, 2015 Report of the Board of Directors Market Review 2015 Financial markets The year started off with quantitative easing being widely used, combined with a low rate environment and increased liquidity coming from the back of The financial markets continued to rise and, given the appreciation of the US Dollar against Swedish kronor, this led to Swedish-based investor returns near to 20 % at the beginning of April. Mid-year changed with Greece: Its strained debts were in the limelight. That in turn led to the markets retracting due to the uncertainty around a potential Greek exit from the European Union, something that has never happened before. After a political carousel the country finally received a bailout package and the markets could exhale. An expected US rate hike through September failed to materialize with the Federal Reserve (the Fed), expressing concerns about the global economy in general and the slowdown in China in particular. However, in the last meeting during 2015 the Fed, after 7 years of zero rate policy, raised the Federal Funds rate, citing improvement in the labor market and inflation expectations. The positioning of the small cap space in Europe, North America and Sweden over the year was changed towards a greater allocation to small caps, since it was expected that small caps would start outperforming following last year s underperformance. Looking back large caps in the US outperformed small caps. In Sweden and Europe the small caps outperformed large caps a lot in During 2015, we continued to decrease the exposure to emerging Europe since the volatility and the geopolitical tensions increased in that region. The main drivers for performance in the sub-fund were Swedish equities, primarily driven by a weaker currency and a continued improvement in the economy. The top performance contributors were investments in Didner & Gerge Småbolag Units, Öhman Etisk Index USA and JPMorgan Europe Equity Plus Fund -A (acc) EUR-. Detractors of the sub-fund s performance were to be found in emerging markets. The worst performer over the period was Vanguard Funds PLC - FTSE Emerging Markets UCITS ETF. The sub-fund has not used derivatives. A global equity market index in Swedish kronor ended the year with positive returns thanks to the rebound in the last quarter. Emerging markets underperformed developed markets and contracted during This was the result of a big drop in commodity prices in general and oil prices in particular, raising geopolitical concerns.

However, in the last meeting during 2015 the Fed, after 7 years of zero rate policy, raised the Federal Funds rate, citing improvement in the labor market and inflation expectations. The positioning of the small cap space in Europe, North America and Sweden over the year was changed towards a greater allocation to small caps, since it was expected that small caps would start outperforming following last year s underperformance. Looking back large caps in the US outperformed small caps. In Sweden and Europe the small caps outperformed large caps a lot in During 2015, we continued to decrease the exposure to emerging Europe since the volatility and the geopolitical tensions increased in that region. The main drivers for performance in the fund were Swedish equities, primarily driven by a weaker currency and a continued improvement in the economy. The top performance contributors were investments in Didner & Gerge Småbolag Units, Öhman Etisk Index USA and JPMorgan Europe Equity Plus Fund -A (acc) EUR-. Detractors of the sub-fund s performance were to be found in emerging markets. The worst performer over the period was Vanguard Funds PLC - FTSE Emerging Markets UCITS ETF.

The sub-fund outperformed its benchmark during The sub-fund underweighted emerging markets and Latin America and overweighted Europe and Japan which proved to be good.

20 MOVESTIC SICAV - Trygghet 90 Movestic / Annual Report as of December 31, 2015 Report of the Board of Directors Market Review 2015 Financial markets The year started off with quantitative easing being widely used, combined with a low rate environment and increased liquidity coming from the back of The financial markets continued to rise and, given the appreciation of the US Dollar against Swedish kronor, this led to Swedish-based investor returns near to 20 % at the beginning of April. Mid-year changed with Greece: Its strained debts were in the limelight. That in turn led to the markets retracting due to the uncertainty around a potential Greek exit from the European Union, something that has never happened before.

The sub-fund underperformed its benchmark during The sub-fund started the year with around 42 % equity exposure and when the market volatility started to pick up the sub-fund had to decrease the exposure to protect the capital according to the investment model. It underperformed the benchmark mainly due to underweighting equities in the second half of the year compared to the benchmark.

21 MOVESTIC SICAV - Naventi Offensiv Strategi / Annual Report as of December 31, 2015 Report of the Board of Directors Market Review 2015 Financial markets During 2015, several equity markets performed fairly well despite set-backs caused by the Greek default on its debt to the International Monetary Fund in June and the deteriorating economic outlook for China. Important market drivers were the major central banks that continued to stimulate the world economy with lower interest rates and quantitative easing. This was on the back of slowing growth, tumbling energy prices and therefore falling inflation expectations. The Swedish Riksbank also added a quantitative easing program and introduced a negative rate of interest. The US went ahead in its economic recovery, triggering the Federal Reserve System to end its stimulus and to hike up interest rates for the first time since This caused US Dollar strengthening, especially against commodity currencies. MOVESTIC SICAV - Naventi Offensiv Strategi The Net Asset Value of the sub-fund increased in The fund has had equity exposure towards USA, Europe and the Nordic countries. European equities returned positive, whereas the US equity market disappointed. The stronger US Dollar improved the overall performance measured in the sub-fund s portfolio base currency, Swedish kronor. Lower interest rates and quantitative easing by the central banks had a positive impact on the equity market. We are still positive towards equity markets and we see few other alternatives in the existing low interest rate environment. The yield from equities is still on a high level compared to 10 year interest rates. Company valuations are not extremely high and the European Central Bank will continue with its quantitative easing program during 2016, which will support the markets. Energy prices are likely to remain on low levels during 2016 and we will probably see the first defaults in the US and Norwegian High-Yield sectors. We will continue to have a low exposure towards energy and commodities. MOVESTIC SICAV - Naventi Offensiv Strategi returned 4,0 %* during the reporting period.

23 MOVESTIC SICAV - Aktiv Allokering / Annual Report as of December 31, 2015 Report of the Board of Directors Market Review 2015 Financial markets 2015 became an interesting and somewhat volatile year for the financial markets. After a strong rally many asset classes lost momentum and in combination with lower risk appetite, weaker earnings, modest growth and a tumbling oilprice, the dispersion among markets became significant. Central banks are still stimulating markets with liquidity even though the Federal Reserve (the Fed) started to raise rates, but from a historically low level. Geopolitical the focus has been, as many times before, on Middle East, but with very limited effect on the global real economy. MOVESTIC SICAV - Aktiv Allokering The sub-fund MOVESTIC SICAV - Aktiv Allokering is an actively managed fund with mandate to invest in various asset classes. During the reporting year, the sub-fund invested in equities, fixed income with short duration and alternative investments. The sub-fund has performed as expected and is well positioned to exploit volatility and market inefficiencies. MOVESTIC SICAV - Aktiv Allokering returned -2,0 %* during the reporting period.

24 MOVESTIC SICAV - Movestic Europa Småbolag / Annual Report as of December 31, 2015 Report of the Board of Directors Market Review 2015 Financial markets The European Central Bank started buying government bonds during 2015 and reduced the depo rate to negative. The government curve steepened as the yield on short dated bonds declined, while long dated yields rose. The government bond market return was 1,6 % in Corporate bonds had a more challenging time, and especially investment grade spreads rose in The Investment Grade cash index spread rose with over 30 basis points to 133 basis points. The high yield spreads rose even more. MOVESTIC SICAV - Movestic Europa Småbolag The investment objective for the sub-fund is to increase the value of its assets over the medium term. The sub-fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in equity securities. Whereas it is the intention of the Investment Manager to choose such investments that are included in indices that serve as benchmarks for European small cap companies or that have a stock market capitalization below the highest market capitalization in these indices (as addressed at the start of each financial year), and that have their registered head office in Europe. The remainder, namely one-third of its assets maximum, may be invested in any other transferable securities, money market instruments, derivatives or cash. Growth was unevenly spread in The United States of America had its ups and downs, but domestic growth was robust. Eurozone growth held up well as the Euro depreciated versus the US dollar, oil prices fell and austerity faded. Growth was not strong in Japan, but a tighter labour market and small gains in nominal wages were positive for consumers. Growth slowed in China; Russia and Brazil experienced deep recessions. MOVESTIC SICAV - Movestic Europa Småbolag returned 16,2 %* during the reporting period.
