Notes Page 6 General Preval Funds SICAV (the Fund ) is an umbrella structured open-ended investment company with limited liability, organised as a société anonyme and qualifies as a société d'investissement à capital variable ("SICAV") under part I of the Luxembourg law of 17 December 2010 relating to undertakings for collective investment, as amended and/or replaced from time to time (the 2010 Law ). The Fund was incorporated on 11.02.2015 and its Articles were published in the Memorial on 27.02.2015. The Fund is registered under number B 194732 with the Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés of Luxembourg, where the Articles have been filed and are available for inspection. The Fund exists for an indefinite period. As of 30.06.2015 the Fund had 1 Sub-Fund denominated in : Preval Fund SICAV World Winners, launched on 10.04.2015. The Fund offers various share classes of each Sub-Fund. Summary of significant accounting policies a) Presentation of financial statements The financial statements are presented in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation of the financial statements. b) Computation of the net asset value The net asset value per share will be calculated on each Calculation Day by dividing the total net asset value attributable to each share class, being the proportionate value of its assets less its liabilities, by the number of shares of such share class then in issue. The resulting net asset value per share shall be rounded to the nearest three decimal places. The net asset value of the shares of the Sub-Fund Preval Fund SICAV World Winners shall be valued on a weekly basis as of each Friday or, should such Friday not be a Business Day, as of the Business Day following such Friday (the Sub-Fund s Valuation Day ). The actual calculation shall take place one Business Day after the Sub-Fund s Valuation Day. The Net Asset Value is computed every Monday that falls on a Business Day or otherwise the next Business Day, using the closing prices of the relevant Valuation Day. The financial statements are presented on the basis of the latest NAV calculated during the financial period (i.e. 30.06.2015). c) Valuation policy The assets of the Sub-Fund are valued as of the Valuation Day, as follows: (1) The value of any cash in hand or on deposit, bills and demand notes and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, cash dividends and interest declared or accrued as aforesaid and not yet received shall be deemed to be the full amount thereof, unless in any case the same is unlikely to be paid or received in full, in which case the value thereof shall be arrived at after making such discount as the Board may consider appropriate in such case to reflect the true value thereof. (2) The value of such securities, financial derivative instruments and assets will be determined on the basis of the closing or last available price on the stock exchange or any other Regulated Market as defined by the 2010 Law on which these securities or assets are traded or admitted for trading. Where such securities or other assets are quoted or dealt in one or more than one stock exchange or any other Regulated Market, the Board shall make regulations for the order of priority in which stock exchanges or other Regulated Markets shall be used for the provisions of prices of securities or assets. (3) If a security is not traded or admitted on any official stock exchange or any Regulated Market, or in the case of securities so traded or admitted the last available price of which does not reflect their true value, the Board is required to proceed on the basis of their expected sales price, which shall be valued with prudence and in good faith. (4) The financial derivative instruments which are not listed on any official stock exchange or traded on any other organised market are subject to reliable and verifiable valuation on a daily basis and can be sold, liquidated or closed by an offsetting transaction at any time at their fair value at the Fund's initiative. The reference to fair value shall be understood as a reference to the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability be settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. (5) Units or shares in undertakings for collective investments shall be valued on the basis of their last available net asset value as reported by such undertakings. (6) Liquid assets and money market instruments may be valued at nominal value plus any accrued interest or on an amortised cost basis. All other assets, where practice allows, may be valued in the same manner. (7) If any of the aforesaid valuation principles do not reflect the valuation method commonly used in specific markets or if any such valuation principles do not seem accurate for the purpose of determining the value of the Fund's assets, the Board may fix different valuation principles in good faith and in accordance with generally accepted valuation principles and procedures. d) Net realised gain/loss on sales of investments The realised gains or losses on the sales of securities are calculated on the basis of the average acquisition cost. e) Foreign exchange conversion The financial statements are reported in the reference currency of each Sub-Fund and the combined financial statements are reported in. Cash at banks, other net assets and the value of portfolio securities in currencies other than reference currency of each Sub-Fund are converted into the reference currency at the foreign exchange rate prevailing on 30.06.2015. Income and expenses in currencies other than reference currency of each Sub- Fund are converted into the reference currency at the foreign exchange rate applicable at the date they accrue to the Sub-Fund. Realised gains or losses on foreign currencies are accounted for in the statement of operations. Security transactions in currencies other than the reference currency of each Sub- Fund are converted into the reference currency at the foreign exchange rate valid at the date of the transaction. f) Transactions on investments in securities The transactions on investments in securities are booked on a trade date basis. g) Income recognition Dividends are recorded on ex-dividend date, net of withholding tax. Interest is accrued on a daily basis. h) Formation expenses The costs and expenses of establishing the Fund will be borne by, and payable out of the assets of, the Sub-Funds existing at the launch of the Fund and may be amortized over a period not exceeding five years. Management fee (see detail at Sub-Fund level) The Board has appointed Preval as the Fund s Management Company to perform investment management, administration and marketing functions as described in Annex II of the 2010 Law. The Fund pays Management fees for each Sub-Fund to the Management Company per annum based on the Net Asset Value of the Fund respectively the Sub-Funds and/or the Share Classes. The level of Management Fees may vary at the Boards' discretion, as agreed with the Management Company, across Sub- Funds and Share Classes. Management Fees accrue on each Calculation Day (with respect to the Share Class concerned), are based on the Net Asset Value of the relevant Share Class and are paid monthly based on the last available Net Asset Value of the relevant Share Class. Management Fees comprise, without limitation, all operation costs and expenses incurred by the Fund and the Management Company, with the exception of the Central Administration Fee, the fees of the Custodian Bank, and any taxes thereon. Performance fee The Management Company may, in addition to the Management Fee, be entitled to a performance fee. For the Sub-Fund Preval Fund SICAV World Winners, the performance fee shall be paid annually in arrears within 15 Business Days from the end of the relevant calendar year (the "Performance Fee Calculation Period") and for the first time in 2015.
Notes Page 7 The performance fee may be levied provided that: (i) the performance of the relevant Share Class for the relevant Performance fee Calculation Period is positive as compared to the precedent Performance fee Calculation Period; and (ii) there is a difference in favour of the Shareholders in the relevant Share Class between the relative evolution of the NAV of such Share Class and the MSCI ACWI Index (i.e. an outperformance). Global Exposure The global exposure of the Sub-Fund is calculated on the basis of the commitment approach. The performance fee by Class of Share outstanding will be equivalent to twenty per cent (20%) of the positive excess of the net return of the relevant Share Class over the MSCI ACWI Index (i.e. the outperformance) since the previous performance fee calculation period. As of 30.06.2015, the Fund did not pay any Performance fee to the Management Company. "Taxe d'abonnement" and taxation The Fund is not subject to any taxes in Luxembourg on income or capital gains.
