Manager's Report
Prime International Technoloqies - 2002
ARer suffering from the depletion of the Technology Bubble in late 2000 and for the most part of 2001. the fund has faced another tough year in 2002.
After a quick rebound following the panic caused by the tragic events of September ll'h, 2001, the world markets have been very severely hit by the deterioration of the economic outlook in a number of region and particularly across all areas of the Technology sector.
The rebound that everybody was looking for in enterprise spending didn't not materialize and the prolonged crisis of the Telecom industry deepened furthermore.
The price dislocation in the Technology sector, that had been already very acute in 2001, was accentuated in 2002 and reached every sub-sector of the group, some of thein being literally decimated.
Our portfolio was positioned in the three main sectors of Technology to take advantage of the expected turn in technology spending and of the bottoming of the telecom crisis : Semiconductors. Software, Telecom Services & Equipment. All three have suffered from disappointing results, continuous downward estimates revisions and P/E contraction.
As a result the performance for the year has been a dismal - 42,26%, to be compared with -28.75% for the Nasdaq 100 index and -52.66% for the ITCACSO index.
The 8% drop of the US dollar relative to the Euro has also accentuated the poor performance.
Now that the valuation have come back to a much more reasonable level in the different technology sectors. we remain of the view that value and opportunities are emerging in the market and might provide a good returns for long term investors. The fund will make every effort to pursue such opportunities while balancing the volatility of the financial markets with cautionary instruments andor company stocks. Cash and related instruments may also be of practical use to protect client's assets.
At the time of this report the 5 main positions of the fund were : Audika, Accenture, Amgen. Nokia and Advanced Micro Devices.
Lwembourg. October 22.2002 'lhe figurcs statcd in this report are historical and not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Manager's Report
Prime France UP - 2002
After a quick rebound following the panic caused by the tragic events of September Il lh, 2001. the world markets have been very severely hit by the deterioration of the economic outlook in a number of regions and in several industries over the past year.
The rebound that everybody was looking for in enterprise spending didn't not materialize and the prolonged crisis of the Telecom industry deepened furthermore. The bankruptcies of several formerly highly regarded company like Enron or Worldcom, followed by a series of scandals and the uncovering of accounting irregularities, has put a tremendous pressure on the equity markets around the world.
The price dislocation that had been already very acute in the Technology sectors reached almost every sub- sectors of the market. even the most defensive ones, some of them being literally decimated. The loss of confidence in the market from investors has sparked very severe sell-off on companies that were formerly considered as defensive "blue-chips"
Our portfolio particularly suffered from it's exposure to technology and to some special situations like France Telecom and Vivendi Universal.
As a result the performance for the year has been a dismal - 41,56%. to be compared with -31.91% for the CAC40 index and -52.66% for the ITCACSO index.
The 8% drop of the US dollar relative to the Euro has also accentuated the poor performance.
Now that the valuations have come back to very reasonable levels across a lot of sectors and that some areas of the market are appearing as cheaply valued in the face of a possible recovery of the world economies. we remain of the view that value and opportunities are emerging in the market and might provide a good returns for long term investors. The fund will make every effort to pursue such opportunities while balancing the volatility of the financial markets with cautionary instruments andlor company stocks. Cash and related instruments may also be of practical use to protect client's assets.
At the time of this report the 6 main positions of the fund were : LVMH, Pinault Primptemps Redoute. L'Oreal, Hemes International, Vivendi Universal et Walt Disney .

Luxcellence Genesis Fund
Luxcellence Genesis Fund
Manager's Report
We started the management of the Fund in November 2001 during one of the most terrible bear markets of the last sixty years and after the horrible events of September 1 1. The Fund declined -34.89% during the 1 1 months ended September 30,2002.
The major market indices experienced a free fall immediately following the terrorist attacks and bounced back strongly at year-end on hopes for a turn-around in the economy and company profits in 2002. Despite rising unemployment, consumers continued to spend, particularly on homes and cars as the Federal Reserve kept interest rates at a 40-years low of 1.75%. The housing market helped the economy to avoid a worst slowdown.
By April, however, lackluster corporate earnings and mixed economic data led many to question the strength of the rebound. That negative sentiment was magnified as one high-profile company after another found itself the target of government accounting probes and consumer confidence stumbled. All major equity benchmarks ended the period deep in the red dropping to new lows not seen since 1998.
The real issue is whether we are in a period heading towards a deflationary environment or whether we are at a close to the bottom of a bear market within the context of a normal investment cycle. We believe this is a once-in-30 year phenomenon. The issue is to isolate the structural from the cyclical.
We believe markets are ignoring basic economics. We have very stimulatory monetary policies in the US and the UK and historic low interest rates worldwide. And regardless of reported earnings, operating profits are showing signs of broadly recovering. The corporate sector has slashed capital spending, reduced inventory and the free cash flow position around the world is rising. Despite the economic slowdown employment in the US and UK remains high.
More and more, our conviction may set us apart from much of the investing community in that the market has become so focused on the short term that few long-term shareholders exist. For these reasons last summer we increased our equity allocation to play a rebound in the 4'h quarter and beginning of 2003. We have diversified into different industries in what we believe are good companies that we want to own for the long haul. Our goal remains to build a portfolio of the best businesses and best management teams, because those are the companies that we believe will thrive in the long run.
Thank you for your investment in the Luxcellence Genesis Fund.

Manager's Report
Over the past 12 months. markets literally collapsed. For example, the French CAC 40 index declined 30%.
We started the period only 33% invested and gradually increased our exposure to 60%, as markets recovered after September 1 1.
We maintained a large cash position all through the period because we believe we are still overall in a bear market.
Performance for the past 12 months was -l0.84%, about a third of the French stock market decline, a result of a combination of under investment and active stock picking.
At the end of the period under review, the main assets are broken down as :
Stocks
Cash
52.93% (essentially French market)
37.95%
Convertible bonds 9.14% as per report
Currently main holdings are : France Telecom Total Fina Elf Air Liquide Vivendi Universal Gucci Group Suez Vivendi Environneinent B ouygue s SEB

Luxcellence Global Wealth Management Fund
Manager's Report
We started the management of the Fund in August 2002 during one of the most terrible bear markets of the last sixty years. The major market indices experienced a strong rebound in August after having fall to new lows in July, levels not seen from 1998.
We started to position this conservative fund very slowly in the market not being convinced of the August rebound. This has proven to be right because in September the markets gave back all August gains retesting the July lows.
The real issue is whether we are in a period heading towards a deflationary environment or whether we are at a close to the bottom of a bear market within the context of a normal investment cycle. We believe this is a once-in-30 year phenomenon. The issue is to isolate the structural fiom the cyclical.
We believe markets are ignoring basic economics. We have very stimulatory monetary policies in the US and the UK and historic low interest rates worldwide. And regardless of reported earnings, operating profits are showing signs of broadly recovering. The corporate sector has slashed capital spending, reduced inventory and the free cash flow position around the world is rising. Despite the economic slowdown employment in the US and UK remains high.
More and more. our conviction may set us apart from much of the investing community in that the market has become so focused on the short term that few long-term shareholders exist.
For these reasons we are planning to increase slowly our equity allocation in the next months to play a rebound in the 4"' quarter and beginning of 2003.
Our goal remains to build a portfolio of the best businesses and best management teams, because those are the companies that we believe will thrive in the long run.
Thank you for your investment in the Luxcellence Global Wealth Management Fund.
