FRS 104 replaces ASB (Accounting Standards Board)Statement semi-annual financial reports.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these Financial Statements are in accordance with FRS 104 which is similar with Company s most recent annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 which has adapted FRS 102. However the format of these Financial Statements differs in some respects from that of the most recent annual Financial Statements, in that the notes to the Financial Statements are presented in summary form. EFG Asset Management (UK) Limited is authorised to act as the AIFM of Alternative Investment Funds ( AIF s), including acting as the AIFM of the Company. The AIFM has in good faith and in the interests of the shareholders delegated certain activities to third party service providers. Any delegation employed by the AIFM is based on objective reasons, taking into account the following criteria: (a) optimising business functions and processes; (b) cost savings; (c) the expertise of the delegate(s) in administration or in specific markets or investments; (d) the access of the delegate(s) to global trading capabilities; and/or (e) other considerations. The structure ensures (through effective monitoring and supervision and oversight and responsibilities retained by the AIFM) that delegation does not result in an avoidance of the AIFM s responsibilities or liabilities. Under AIFMD, the AIFM has certain responsibilities in relation to the proper and independent valuation of the Company s assets and the calculation and publication of the Net Asset Value (the NAV ) and the Net Asset Value per Share (the NAVPS ). The Company has appointed the AIFM to be responsible for (i) the proper valuation of the Company s assets, (ii) the calculation of the NAV of the Company and the net assets and NAVPS of each Class and (iii) publication of the NAV of the Company and the NAVPS of each class. The Company has, in consultation with the AIFM appointed HSBC Securities Services (Ireland) DAC (the Administrator ) to calculate and publish the NAV of the Company and, the net assets and the NAVPS of each Class, in each case in accordance with the valuation policy of the Company. 2. Taxation Under current law and practice the Company qualifies as an investment undertaking as defined in Section 739B of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended (the TCA ). On that basis, it is not chargeable to Irish tax on its income or gains. However, Irish tax may arise on the occurrence of a chargeable event. A chargeable event includes any distribution payments to shareholders or any encashment, redemption, transfer or cancellation of shares and any deemed disposal of shares for Irish tax purposes arising as a result of holding shares in the Company for a period of eight years or more. No Irish tax will arise in respect of chargeable events in respect of a shareholder who is an Exempt Irish Investor (as defined in Section 739D of the TCA) or who is neither Irish resident nor ordinarily resident in Ireland for tax purposes at the time of the chargeable event, provided, in each case, that an appropriate valid declaration in accordance with Schedule 2B of the TCA is held by the Company and the Company is not in possession of any information which would reasonably suggest that the information contained therein is no longer materially correct or where the Company has been authorised by Irish Revenue to make gross payments in absence of appropriate declarations. The Alternative Investment Fund Manager ( AIFM ) has appointed EFG Asset Management (Switzerland) SA as the investment manager ( The Investment Manager ) for New Capital Multi-Hedge Focus Fund on 18 April, The Investment Manager is subject to supervision by Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority ( FINMA ) in Switzerland. 13
15 Notes to the Semi-Annual Report (continued) 2. Taxation (continued) A chargeable event will not arise, if at the time of the chargeable event, appropriate equivalent measures have been put in place by the Company to ensure that shareholders in the Company are neither Irish resident nor ordinarily resident in Ireland and the Company has received approval from the Irish Revenue Commissioners to this effect and the approval has not been withdrawn. To the extent that equivalent measures apply, the Company will not be required to obtain nonresident declarations from investors. Distributions, interest and capital gains (if any) received on investments made by the Company may be subject to withholding taxes imposed by the country of origin and such taxes may not be recoverable by the Company or its shareholders. 3. Fair value hierarchy FRS 104 requires the Company to classify financial instruments measured at fair value into the following hierarchy: Level 1: Instruments fair valued using a quoted price for an identical asset or liability in an active market. Quoted in an active market in this context means quoted prices are readily and regularly available and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. Level 2: Instruments for which a quoted price is unavailable and which have been fair valued using the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset or liability provided there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. Level 3: Instruments for which fair value has been estimated using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques classified in Level 3 are intended to provide a reasonable estimate of fair value and reflect how the market could be expected to price the asset or liability, including market expectations and risk return factors. Classification in Level 3 does not distinguish between valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs to those valuation techniques. The tables below set out the classification of the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value in accordance with FRS102 as at 31 December New Capital Multi-Hedge Focus Fund Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception Investment funds - 23,609,279 39,630 23,648,909 Derivatives - 46,223-46,223 Total assets - 23,655,502 39,630 23,695,132 Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception Derivatives - (32,070) - (32,070) Total liabilities - (32,070) - (32,070) The following table analyses within the fair value hierarchy the subfund s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at 30 June 2017: Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Investment funds - 28,383,720 55,011 28,438,731 Derivatives - 37,630-37,630 Total assets - 28,421,350 55,011 28,476,361 Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception Derivatives - (252,963) - (252,963) Total liabilities - (252,963) - (252,963) As at 31 December 2017 and 30 June 2017 the following sidepockets were held: As at 31 December 2017: Value New Capital Multi-Hedge Focus of holding % of Fund sub-fund Bennelong Asia Pacific Multi Strategy 39,

17 Notes to the Semi-Annual Report (continued) 3. Fair value hierarchy (continued) Forward currency contracts A forward contract obligates the Company to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency at a specified price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued at the forward rate and the Company s equity therein, representing unrealised gains or losses on the contracts, is included in financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the Statement of Net Assets. Realised and change in unrealised fair value gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations. The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts in order to hedge against currency exchange rate risk of the non-base currency classes. Futures Contract A futures contract obligates the Company to receive or deliver a specific instrument at a specified price on an agreed future date. Initial margin deposits made with respect to futures contracts are recognised as assets due from the Company s broker (the Company s agent in acquiring the futures position).

25 Appendix Remuneration policy and procedures: On 25 July 2014, EFG Asset Management (UK) Limited was appointed the Alternative Investment Fund Manager (the AIFM ) to the Company under the AIFM Directive. The AIFM is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom as an alternative investment fund manager pursuant to the AIFM Regulations. The remuneration committee of the AIFM has ultimate responsibility for the design and oversight of the remuneration arrangements. The AIFM has implemented a remuneration policy ( the Policy ), the objective of which is to set remuneration at a level that the AIFM s staff are fairly and responsibly rewarded, in a manner that is appropriately linked to their performance. The policy is also designed to attract, motivate and retain talent. The Policy includes all forms of variable and fixed remuneration that applies to staff of the AIFM. The Company s remuneration policy is regulated by the following legislation: Guidelines on remuneration policies and practices (MiFID) (ESMA/2013/606) Guidelines on sound remuneration policies under the AIFMD (ESMA/2013/232) Questions and Answers - Application of the AIFMD (ESMA/2015/1873) The AIFM has adopted a remuneration policy which is consistent with and promotes sound and effective risk management and does not encourage risk-taking which is inconsistent with the risk profiles, rules or instruments of incorporation of the Alternative Investment Fund s ( AIFs ) that are managed. The remuneration policy is in line with the business strategy, objectives, values and interests of the AIFM and the AIFs it manages, and includes measures to avoid conflicts of interest. Staff engaged in control functions are compensated in accordance with the achievement of the objectives linked to their functions, independent of the performance of the business areas they control. The remuneration committee of the AIFM review the Policy annually or more frequently if required. The Policy is in line with the business strategy and objectives of the AIFM. The AIFM s income is dependent upon assets under management and therefore the profit available for distribution under the Policy is dependent upon the performance of the Company. Risk disclosures: The AIFM delegates certain portfolio management and risk management functions in respect of the Company. It may in its discretion decide the extent to which it will delegate portfolio management and risk management and accordingly the individual delegates may be afforded differing levels of responsibilities and remuneration. The AIFM will use best efforts to ensure that: a) the entities to which portfolio or risk management activities have been delegated are subject to regulatory requirements on remuneration that are equally as effective as those applicable under the relevant ESMA guidelines; or b) appropriate contractual arrangements are put in place to ensure that there is no circumvention of the remuneration rules set out in the relevant ESMA guidelines. The remuneration policy includes special remuneration rules for identified staff (senior management, risk takers and staff engaged in control functions). Where remuneration is performance related, the total amount of remuneration is based on a combination of the assessment of the performance of the individual and of the business unit or AIF concerned and of the overall results of the AIFM, and when assessing individual performance, financial as well as non-financial criteria are taken into account. Where remuneration is performance related, 25% of the remuneration is deferred over a period of three years. The variable remuneration, including the deferred portion, is paid only if it is sustainable according to the financial situation of the AIFM as a whole, and justified according to the performance of the business unit, the AIF and the individual concerned. 24
