INVESTMENT ADVISER’S REPORT

for the year ended 30 September 2017 (continued)

Global Equity Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Global Equity Fund reported net performance of 15.9%. From a sector perspective, strength in real estate and financials were more than offset by weakness in consumer staples and utilities. Top contributors were Qualicorp, CSX, and Tokyo Electron while JBS, Veolia Environnement, and Promotora y Operadora de Infraestructura were top detractors overall. Global equity investors enjoyed robust and broad-based gains over the period amid favourable market conditions. The markets advancement has been led by emerging markets and international shares. This synchronized global expansion remained on track. Despite a reversal in September, the U.S. dollar (“USD”) weakened while industrial commodity prices firmed, both consistent with signs of improving global growth trends. After a prolonged period of returns being driven by multiple rerating in recent years, 2017 has been defined by margin expansion and earnings growth. Corporate profits have returned to health with modest but meaningful top line growth and further extension of cost controls and capital redeployment. Much of the market action during the period conveyed a “risk-on” sentiment with sectoral leadership having a cyclical tilt. Led by emerging markets, equities have enjoyed broad-based gains through the third quarter of 2017 and many indicators remain favourable including the synchronized move higher in global Purchasing Manager’s Indices (“PMIs”) and positive leading economic indicators. Corporate profits have returned to health while moderation of the USD has spurred cyclical investment across the globe though the USD is likely to see a near-term bounce as upside risk is surfacing to a more reflationary environment. Valuation rerating is unlikely to push further advances in equity prices leaving earnings growth as the key upside catalyst. The latest earnings season concluded with earnings growth generally ahead of expectations helped by top-line growth and margin expansion. This in turn has begun carrying the next leg of the rally in equity markets though we are getting later in the cycle, particularly in the U.S.

Asian Equity Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Asian Equity Fund reported net performance of 25.47%. The top three contributors to performance were Alibaba Group, up 63.3%, Samsung Electronics, up 57.3%, and LARGAN Precision, up 47.1%. The top three detractors were China Communications Services, down 15.0%, Tong Yang, down 10.5%, and an underweight position in China Evergrande Group which was up 416.4%. Both the Asia and Pacific regions outperformed during the last 12 months. Within Asia, strong stock selection in India, South Korea, and Taiwan highlighted the outperformance while China and Thailand were the only markets to detract from results. In the Pacific region, stock selection in Singapore was a notable contributor and Hong Kong marginally outperformed. We remain positive on the semiconductor space with limited supply growth into next year. Financials stay as our largest overweight in India and the underlying momentum in housing and consumer finance remains robust. We maintain a relatively constructive view on China with the biggest overweight to the information technology sector, which has more sustainable growth driven by under levered consumers. We expect the uncertainty and the volatility to remain in Taiwan Apple supply chain stocks until we have more clarity on the sales volume of iPhone X. The bottom line for us at this point is to stick with the current stock picks, as we see still better chances of outperformance because of structural growth drivers.

European Equity Fund

For the 12 months ending 30 September 2017, the European Equity Fund reported net performance of 23.72%. Stock selection in the technology and healthcare sectors was the most effective. However, stock selections in the financials and materials sectors were less effective. The portfolio outperformed during the 12-month period on the back of positive stock selection. We saw very strong performance from the French listed computer games designer Ubisoft which rose 82% during the 12-month review period, also Austrian listed oil refiner OMV which rose 107% and Dutch listed semiconductor group BE Semiconductor which rose 111%. Our underweight exposure to United Kingdom (“UK”) listed banking giant HSBC was detrimental to performance as the stock rose 35% during the year, as was our exposure to UK listed pharmaceutical group Shire which fell 24% and German listed sugar group Suedzucker which fell 25%.

European Equity Fund (continued)

Widely anticipated elections have cleared most hurdles and brought ease over the markets and economies though recent elections weren’t as promising as expected. The ever-evolving Brexit scenario remains, though it appears to be softening, paving the way for potential business investment acceleration and better prospects for growth. With moderate global growth, the region is likely to be reliant on better domestic spending, corporate profitability, and margin expansion leading to stable growth. From a relative standpoint, valuations coupled with earnings growth are particularly enticing, especially in comparison to the United States, though have compressed in 2017 following relative outperformance. Regardless of the region, sector, or general market conditions, our bottom up focus on sustainable earnings trends and valuations relative to expectations remain a constant across the portfolio, and helps rise above the fray of short-term “risk on/risk off” tendencies of many investors and bouts of volatility.

Emerging Markets Equity Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Emerging Markets Equity Fund reported net performance of 25.87%. The top three contributors for the Fund were Magazine Luiza, up 247.4%, Alibaba Group, up 63.3%, and Sunny Optical Technology, up 217.6%. The top three detractors were Tong Yang, down 21.1%, JD.com Inc., down 15.6%, and KT & G Corporation, down 16.6%. Our global emerging markets strategy outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the last twelve months. All regions outperformed the index with Asia leading the way. Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) was the next best, followed by Latin America. China, India, and Brazil as the top relative performing countries while Mexico, Poland, and Thailand were the largest detractors. We remain positive on the semiconductor space with limited supply growth into next year. Financials stay as our largest overweight in India and the underlying momentum in housing and consumer finance remains robust. We maintain a relatively constructive view on China with the biggest overweight to the information technology sector, which has more sustainable growth driven by under levered consumers. Our recent meetings with Brazilian corporates indicated stabilization of consumption and some green shoots in consumer spending recovery, but far from a spending binge. We have not seen yet a recovery in bank lending to the private sector either. The bottom line for us at this point is to stick with the current stock picks, as we see still better chances of outperformance because of structural growth drivers

Japanese Equity Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Japanese Equity Fund reported net performance of 13.42%. The portfolio outperformed the MSCI Japan Index during the period. Stock selection in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors were most effective. However, stock selection in the utilities and telecommunication services sectors were less effective. The portfolio outperformed for the 12-month period on the back of positive stock selection. Our investment process and portfolio style characteristics provided significant tailwinds. An overweight position in Tokyo Electron contributed strongly to performance in the period as the stock was up +79.41% in USD terms. An overweight position in TOHO Gas Co. had a negative impact on the portfolio in the period as the security was down 36.41% in USD terms. At the end of September, the portfolio’s most overweight positions included MS&AD Insurance Group, Haseko Corporation, DENSO Corporation, and K’s Holdings Corporation. Equity markets continued to rally over the past 12 months into the double digits for most regions led by emerging markets. Rising global growth prospects as seen in an upswing in more synchronized global expansion and further extension of a weak USD propelled commodity prices higher, particularly industrial metals, all contributing to broad investment into emerging markets. While emerging markets continues to top regional return tables, breadth in market returns remains apparent worldwide. Corporate profits are returning to health with further extension of cost controls driving earnings and margin expansion. The quarter was centred around a more risk-on sentiment with sectoral leadership having a cyclical tilt. The portfolio continues to overweight stocks with improving business fundamentals, rising investor expectations and attractive relative valuations. Our portfolio construction strategies minimize market, sector and industry exposures relative to the index to isolate superior stock selection as the primary source of outperformance.

Preferred Securities Fund

For the 12 months ending 30 September 2017, the Preferred Securities Fund reported net performance of 8.57%. Rising rates in the front end have benefited the extended insurance and utility issues. Rising front end rates have also buoyed fixed to float $1000 pars. Our allocation to Contingent Convertible securities (“CoCo’s”) in the Fund continues to perform strongly. The general upward trajectory in European bank equity given rising inflation and improved confidence in the Eurozone has helped CoCo’s. Longer duration legacy Tier 1 bonds have performed well given a flattening yield curve in 2017 combined with tightening spreads. The Fund has grown significantly this period with net inflows of $1.9 billion. We increased the concentration of legacy Tier 1 bonds in the portfolio from 10.44% to 14.06%. These bonds continue to offer attractive spreads and the possibility of capital return through liability management exercises. We also favoured Insurance hybrids, specifically high coupon dated issues taking the sector concentration to 31.09% from 27.16%. We increased our sector allocation to utility hybrids given the non-financial diversification benefits and issuance in the sector. In keeping with the evolution of the preferred universe, our $25 par holdings have decreased over the period. We do expect (real) longer term rates to move higher from here, not only because of central bank reflationary requirements that perpetuate the currency wars, but also because fiscal spending excess and entitlement overloads will ultimately not likely be cured without some combination of currency based inflation and absolute risk adjustments to debt loads. Indeed, our outlook is based on a fundamental backdrop of progress and scale back of global central bank interventions to allow markets to clear holistically. After all, unassisted pricing in financial markets is the ultimate goal of global bank reform which has been underway for years. Credit markets do appear fully priced, yet still anxious to buy whatever is in sight. Our assessment of risks and rate outlooks are predicated on a continuing theme which has appropriately played through 2016 and into 2017. We expect financial credit to maintain its constructive safe haven status by virtue of the Trump Administration’s propensity to loosen regulatory nooses. European regulatory change should be concluding with supportive timelines on capital restoration as well. Overall, we expect preferred securities to have another constructive year as some spread tightening against the backdrop of only moderately higher interest rates supports a total return outcome.

U.S. Equity Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the U.S. Equity Fund reported net performance of 19.21%. The portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 Index during the period. Stock selection in the healthcare and industrials sectors was the most effective. However, stock selections in the consumer staples and financials sectors were less effective. The portfolio outperformed during the 12-month period on the back of positive stock selection. Our overweight positions in Boeing Company and JPMorgan Chase & Co, and underweight position in General Electric Company contributed positively to performance. Our overweight position in Tyson Foods, Inc., Ross Stores, Inc., and FootLocker detracted from performance. At the end of September, the Fund’s main overweight positions were Waste Management, Inc., Baxter International Inc., and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. The Fund’s main underweight positions included Wells Fargo & Company, Procter & Gamble Company, and Exxon Mobil Corporation. Key market risks have evolved, but remain centred around potential policy changes. Corporate tax reform (more specifically the potential for deficit funded fiscal stimulus) and the commensurate reaction from the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) to dampen such changes with accelerated monetary tightening will likely be the key determinant of market risk as we look ahead to 2018. Corporate debt levels continue to rise to levels consistent with later stages of the business cycle. As a result, higher inflation and by extension interest rates are an area we are watching closely. Our portfolio is comprised of companies we believe offer superior fundamental change relative to their peers, rising investor expectations, and attractive relative valuations. High Yield Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the High Yield Fund reported net performance of 9.85%. The Fund had a positive contribution from its allocation to Chaparral Energy, Jazz US Holdings, and Vander Intermediate Holding. The Fund was negatively impacted from its allocation to Agrokor, Petrobras Global Finance, and Goodman Networks.

16

High Yield Fund (continued)

Market conditions changed rapidly following a surprising win by Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election and a Republican sweep of Congress. The rally continued into 2017 where sentiment remained strong following a market friendly outcome of French elections. Heading into the third quarter, spreads moved close to multi-year tights as the combination of an improved macroeconomic backdrop and strong corporate fundamentals drove credit valuations higher. In addition, reduced expectations of monetary tightening helped risk assets outperform as central banks took a more dovish tone due to weak inflation data. Despite escalating tension with North Korea, volatility remained exceptionally low during the quarter. The Fed announced its intention to begin balance sheet normalisation in October and put a December rate increase back on the table, both of which could reintroduce volatility in an otherwise placid market. U.S. tax reform discussions may also be a near term catalyst to drive sentiment. While there are potential risks, the market remains constructive for high yield as the macro environment continues to improve and default rates remain benign. Technical pressures should also subside as new issuance is expected to slow relative to September’s high volume. By quality, we continue to find the best value in single B-rated names. Our top industries include finance companies, life insurance, and aerospace and defence as these should benefit in a rising rate environment and from stable commodities. From a European perspective, our top industry picks remain cable, wireless, and packaging.

Global Property Securities Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Global Property Securities Fund reported net performance of 1.97%. Good selection in the strong fundamentals driving stock returns in German residential and office stocks contributed to outperformance. Positive selection in malls, retail-focused net lease, and single-family rental also drove outperformance. Out of benchmark holdings also made a material contribution through holdings in technology stocks, industrial, and Japanese developers. Property stocks trailed broader equity markets with the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed NTR Index advancing 0.6% while the MSCI World Index rallied 18.2%. Bonds trailed both declining 2.5%. Europe performed best with improving economic data and receding political risk. Asia followed as positive sentiment in Hong Kong office and accommodative property policies boosted returns for developers. Retail underperformed globally on the back of weak sentiment and the store closing landscape. Industrial was a strong performer globally. The Americas performance was driven by the surprise election of Donald Trump causing a pro-growth trade and the Fed remaining hawkish on its balance sheet normalisation plan. Since last year, global economies still appear to be in a coordinated global cyclical recovery. The Fed announced the start of balance sheet roll-off and remains hawkish on its policy path for rate hikes. Together with incremental traction the Trump administration has made on tax cuts, this could in the short term, extend the backup in bond yields seen in September. We do not anticipate a disruptive move up in yields as many uncertainties around tax reform and geopolitical risks continue to escalate. Although inflation may tick back up, longer term structural forces are likely to cap the upside for inflation, hence bond yields. Global Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) remained relatively resilient during the recent 20 basis points (“bps”) move up in U.S. bond yields that occurred in the latter half of September. Medium-term outlook for REITs remains constructive amid the backdrop of ongoing global growth recovery and likely gradual rise in interest rates.

Global Equity (ex-Japan) Fund (closed 15 September 2017)

For the period 30 September 2016 to close of the Fund on 15 September 2017, the Global Equity (Ex- Japan) Fund returned 9.6%. From a sector perspective, strength in healthcare and financials was more than offset by weakness in consumer discretionary and consumer staples. Top contributors were Anthem, CSX, and JPMorgan while Macy’s, Veolia Environnement, and CVS Health were top detractors overall. Global equity investors enjoyed robust and broad-based gains over the period amid favourable market conditions. The markets advancement has been led by emerging markets and international shares. The synchronized global expansion remained on track. Despite a reversal in September, the USD weakened, while industrial commodity prices firmed, both consistent with signs of improving global growth trends. After a prolonged period of returns being driven by multiple rerating in recent years, 2017 has been defined by margin expansion and earnings growth. Corporate profits have returned to health with modest but meaningful top line growth and further extension of cost controls and capital redeployment. Much of the market action during the period conveyed a “risk-on” sentiment with sectoral leadership having a cyclical tilt.

Post Global Limited Term High Yield Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Post Global Limited Term High Yield Fund reported net performance of 3.72%. The portfolio continued to maintain significant exposure to high quality businesses in more stable, defensive sectors during this period, including healthcare, technology/software, cable/satellite, and telecommunications. The portfolio continued to remain underweight in commodity related credits and other riskier sectors such as pharmaceuticals and retail. During a period of rising interest rates (the yield on the 5-year U.S. Treasury increased from 1.15% to 1.93% between September 2016 and September 2017), the Fund generated attractive and consistent returns through income and capital appreciation. Importantly, when the high yield market slowed in March and June of this year, the Fund continued to generate good performance as underlying value in higher quality credits continued to gradually “accrete” over time. Although yields and spreads have tightened materially over the last 18 months, we continue to believe short duration corporate credit remains attractive on both an absolute and relative basis. Driven by our focus on investing in high quality businesses in more stable, defensive sectors, underlying credit fundamentals remain strong and we have continued to demonstrate our ability to provide strong downside protection while generating total return in excess of the portfolio’s stated yield-to-worst. Technical conditions also remain robust as investors around the world, especially international investors, continue to seek attractive yields with relatively low levels of credit, market, and duration risk.

Global Time Diversified Absolute Return Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Global Time Diversified Absolute Return Fund reported net performance of -8.00%. Both the discretionary and systematic sub-components performed negatively, though the bulk of losses came from the discretionary side. Themes trading a persistent spike in financial market volatility by being long safe-haven currencies such as Japanese yen (“JPY”) and Swiss franc (“CHF”) underperformed the most as volatility generally remained subdued. Fourth quarter 2016 was marked by Donald Trump’s surprise victory which caused the USD to rally. The Fed also turned more hawkish and hiked rates in December helping cement USD strength. The early part of 2017 saw populist parties in Europe defeated in key elections, helping to drive a relief rally in the euro (“EUR”). The Fed hiked rates again in March, however dovish language in the accompanying statement caused the USD to underperform relative to higher yielding currencies. In the third, other central banks joined the Fed in normalising policy with the Bank of China (“BoC”) hiking twice, helping drive a strong rally in the Canadian dollar (“CAD”).

The USD’s positive fundamentals will reassert themselves in 2018, producing the final surge in the USD structural uptrend. The Fed will continue to hike at a faster pace than priced by the market and what other major central banks can deliver, causing the USD to appreciate. Our conviction on faster Fed tightening implies a less constructive backdrop for risk assets globally. It is possible that a 2.0-2.25% Fed rate would act as a risk asset tipping point, having generated sufficient tightening to cause a cycle peak. In non-Fed G10 space, assessing the sustainability of central banks’ reaction functions will be key this year, as major reversals are likely to prove good relative value trading opportunities.

Global Small Cap Equity Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Global Small Cap Equity Fund reported net performance of 19.42%. Outperformance was consistent across all major regions during the period with the U.S. and Europe providing the biggest contribution to relative performance. Within Europe it was Germany and Italy with the strongest contributions. France and the UK were the biggest detractors from relative performance during the period. Outperformance was also consistently strong across most sectors during the month with the information technology and healthcare sectors posting the strongest contributions to relative returns. The telecommunications sector was the only detractor, modestly so, from relative performance. Led by emerging markets, equities have enjoyed broad-based gains through the third quarter of 2017 and many leading indicators remain favourable including the synchronized move higher in global PMIs. Corporate profits have returned to health while moderation of the USD has spurred cyclical investment across the globe. Valuation rerating is unlikely to push further advances in equity prices, however, leaving earnings growth as the key upside catalyst. The latest earnings season was generally ahead of expectations, boosted by both top-line growth and margin expansion. The market remains positioned favourably in an upgrade cycle where global earnings upgrades have outnumbered downgrades. Although most valuation readings for U.S. equities now stand above historical averages driven by earnings growth and low rates, broader global valuation metrics remain reasonable, particularly in terms of earnings and cash flow yields relative to bond yields. With bond yields remaining not too far above historical lows, long term accumulation and liability funding objectives have minimal opportunities to be met without meaningful equity exposure. Selectivity is key. Despite early signs of tighter monetary policies, yields have remained rather subdued on the lack of global inflation. However, during the last week of September yields began to inch higher as prospects of higher inflation in the near term seem to increase against the backdrop of synchronized global growth and higher commodity prices. Additionally, investors seem to be giving a higher probability for U.S. tax reform despite the Republican’s inability to change course on healthcare policy.

Origin Global Emerging Markets Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Origin Global Emerging Markets Fund reported net performance of 27.74%. At a sector level, performance was driven predominantly by strong stock selection in information technology and consumer discretionary stocks in China. Stock selection in utilities (in particular China) and financials (in particular Taiwan) detracted from relative performance. The emerging markets sector concluded the 12-month period to the end of September 2017 in firmly positive territory, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index delivering strong double-digit returns. Over the fourth quarter 2016, the Fund fell behind the benchmark, however, over the year-to-date the market has recognised and rewarded those characteristics we value (capital management, undervaluation, improving earnings revisions and rising share price relative trend), meaning we have been able to generate significantly positive returns above the index. In fact, factor efficacy has been positive across most factors (Value, Earnings and Technical momentum) on aggregate over the 12-month period. At a sector level, the portfolio’s most sizeable position is in information technology stocks, which remains the largest overweight. Conversely, financials remains the most significant underweight although we have increased our exposure to this sector quite significantly over the year. Geographically, China represents the portfolio’s largest holding and overweight; a position we have added to over the year. India remains our largest underweight position relative to the benchmark. At Origin we do not attempt to forecast the future, preferring instead to follow the evidence, which for now is continuing to point in the same broad direction. Whatever the future holds, you can be certain that we will continue to build portfolios of companies exhibiting the aforementioned characteristics, and as long as the market continues to act in a rational manner rewarding those companies that best embody the balance of those characteristics then the strategy remains positioned to perform well.

Origin Global Equity Fund (closed 24 February 2017)

For the period 30 September 2016 to close of the Fund on 24 February 2017, the Origin Global Equity Fund reported net performance of 7.62%.

Following several years in which the market acted in what we would view as a rational manner and rewarded the characteristics we value, 2016 proved to be the exception, with the fourth quarter demonstrating this in microcosm. Not only did the market ignore the factors we target, indeed one might say that all the evidence has been resolutely eschewed as those stocks that experienced the strongest performance appeared actively bad on the measures that we consider most important, perhaps except for value. It is in this environment, the Fund started 2017 lagging the benchmark. However, as the underlying drivers of market performance rotated during Q1 2017; exhibiting greater rationality, rewarding three of our four target characteristics, in the form of fast growing companies demonstrating the strongest capital management while also being attractively valued and receiving positive earnings revisions; the Fund was able to narrow the gap between the Fund and the benchmark on the Fund’s closing in February 2017.

Origin Global Smaller Companies Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Origin Global Smaller Companies Fund reported net performance of 23.80%. At a sector level, performance was driven predominantly by strong stock selection and allocation to information technology in Taiwan, China, and the United States. Stock selection in healthcare (particularly in China and Australia) detracted from relative performance. The Global Smaller Companies sector concluded the 12-month period to the end of September 2017 in firmly positive territory, with the MSCI ACWI Small Cap Index delivering strong double digit returns. Over fourth quarter 2016, the Fund fell behind the benchmark, however, over year-to-date the market has recognised and rewarded those characteristics we value (capital management, undervaluation, improving earnings revisions and rising share price relative trend), meaning we have been able to generate significantly positive returns above the index. In fact, factor efficacy has been positive across most factors (Value, Earnings and Technical momentum) on aggregate over the 12-month period. At a sector level, the portfolio’s most sizeable position is in information technology stocks, which remains the largest overweight; however, we reduced our position to this sector over the year. Conversely, real estate remains the most significant underweight. Geographically, emerging markets is the portfolio’s largest holding and overweight; a position we have added to over the year. North America remains our largest underweight position relative to the benchmark. At Origin we do not attempt to forecast the future, preferring instead to follow the evidence, which for now is continuing to point in the same broad direction. Whatever the future holds, you can be certain that we will continue to build portfolios of companies exhibiting the aforementioned characteristics, and as long as the market continues to act in a rational manner rewarding those companies that best embody the balance of those characteristics then the strategy remains positioned to perform well.

Long/Short Global Opportunities Equity Fund (closed 1 March 2017)

For period from 30 September 2016 to close of the Fund on 1 March 2017, the Long/Short Global Opportunities Equity Fund returned 0.00%. From a sector perspective, strength in real estate and financials were more than offset by weakness in consumer staples and utilities. Global equity investors enjoyed robust and broad-based gains over the period amid favourable market conditions. The markets advancement has been led by emerging markets and international shares. The synchronized global expansion remained on track. Despite a reversal in September, the USD weakened, while industrial commodity prices firmed, both consistent with signs of improving global growth trends. After a prolonged period of returns being driven by multiple re-rating in recent years, 2017 has been defined by margin expansion and earnings growth. Corporate profits have returned to health with modest but meaningful top line growth and further extension of cost controls and capital redeployment. Much of the market action during the period conveyed a “risk-on” sentiment with sectoral leadership having a cyclical tilt.

Claritas Latin American Equity Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Claritas Latin American Equity Fund reported net performance of 19.69%. Stock picking was entirely responsible for the alpha of the fund. The positive highlights during the period were the overweight allocations on CVC, Sanepar, and Itaú in Brazil. On the other hand, the underweight allocation in Brazil was the main detractor of the portfolio.

During the last year, a more benign scenario favoured emerging markets as developed countries posted solid growth accompanied by a benign inflation data, allowing a more gradual than expected monetary tightening. Additionally, we saw important improvements in Latin America, helped by political calming, stronger currencies and higher commodity prices. In Brazil, the political turmoil was not enough to bring down confidence in the economic recovery, which was supported by improving data and developments on the reform agenda. In Mexico, Donald Trump’s election had only limited effects on consumer confidence. Latin American equities (+22.5%) outperformed both emerging market (19.73%) and developed market (15.9%).

The outlook for the region improved with the stabilization on commodity prices, positive developments on the political front and expectations of lower interest rates for longer. Looking ahead, we should monitor the withdrawal of monetary stimulus by central banks in developed markets on the back of a rebound in inflation. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) is already signalling tapering quantitative easing in the Eurozone, and the Fed will soon start unwinding its balance sheet. China economic activity remains another important driver for the markets. In the geopolitical front, the main concern consists on North Korea tensions. In Brazil, the local drivers are the pace of economic recovery, the political scenario and the advance of the reform agenda. As for Mexico, it is important to track the outcome of the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) negotiations on the exit of the USA from the block.

Finisterre Emerging Market Debt Fund

For the twelve months ending 30 September 2017, the Finisterre Emerging Market Debt Fund reported an estimated net performance of 4.77%. One of the two portfolio managers left the firm in September 2017. The Finisterre Emerging Markets Debt Fund is mainly invested in liquid emerging market assets. The specific focus of the Fund was expressed in long rates positions in emerging markets via derivatives and government bonds. The risk in the portfolio continues to be low. The long credit positions performed well over the period, as did the hedges.

Spectrum Global Capital Securities Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Spectrum Global Capital Securities Fund reported net performance of 10.97%. Fund performance was aided by a significant rise in equity bank shares in Europe and a commensurately significant spread tightening in the CoCo sector. Bank shares benefited from relentless ECB accommodation. Since the U.S. election, the U.S. Treasury 10-year has been stuck in a +/-2pt sine wave – the longest “rut” in over 50 years. But, the sideways treasury market and rising stock market have combined to create an ideal support system for spreads to tighten 162bps in the CoCo market over the 12-month period. The higher quality sector of the CoCo market added to performance with names such as HSBC, UBS, and Societe Generale leading the way, respectively. The country allocation to Britain, France and Switzerland comprising 62% of the fund aided performance. The detracting elements had a function of doing less well this period. DNB Bank, Banco Santander and Credit Suisse trailed the most, but still finished as net contributors. The Fund had to rebalance significantly during the period as withdrawals of $24 million outweighed additions of $5 million over the 12-month period. The portfolio closed the period at $8.4m comprised of 19% cash and 10 individual names led by Credit Suisse, Australia New Zealand Bank, and Lloyds Bank. We believe that there is a moderate upward bias to interest rates impelled by not only the Fed, but also by expected changes in policies coming out of the White House. Spreads are likely to be stubbornly tight as the fund advances to closure because the ECB remains exceptionally accommodative.

Global Capital Structure Opportunities Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Global Capital Structure Opportunities Fund reported net performance of 6.27%. The outperformance of the Fund was driven by positive performance across the capital structure, including allocations to lower tier 2, perpetual preferreds, contingent capital, and hybrids. Top performers included Banco Santander, RBS, Goldman Sachs and UBS. Market conditions changed rapidly following a surprising win by Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election. The outcome raised inflation expectations due to expected fiscal stimulus such as reduced tax rates, infrastructure investment, and a pro-growth regulatory environment. By the end of the period, the synchronized global economic upturn was in full effect. However, inflation remains weak, causing global central banks to stay dovish and reduce fears of a rapid adjustment to monetary policy. Nevertheless, the Fed remains committed to a gradual reduction in monetary accommodation and announced plans to taper the size of its balance sheet beginning in October. Continued global economic strength remains supportive of valuations. Ongoing asset purchases by central banks globally will contribute to continued investor demand for yield. The outlook remains supportive of capital structure securities. The financial industrial basis remains wide of pre-crisis levels despite the fundamental improvement in banks and insurers compared with non-financials over this period. The improvement in credit quality of financials has come across several areas including higher capitalization ratios and improved balance sheet quality. Additionally, regulator stress tests serve as an annual check on balance sheet quality and risk exposure, and liquidity coverage ration requirements and liquidity stress testing mean that banks’ liquidity profiles are vastly improved. The technical picture could also strengthen into the rest of the year as market expectations for financial supply is waning.

Global Credit Alpha Fund (closed 30 June 2017)

For the period 30 September 2016 to close of the Fund on 30 June 2017, the Global Credit Alpha Fund reported net performance of 4.17%. The allocation to below investment grade corporate bonds was the largest contributor to total Fund return. The allocation to investment grade corporate bonds also contributed to performance while the allocation to U.S. Treasury securities detracted from performance. Market conditions changed rapidly in November following a surprising win by Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election and a Republican sweep of Congress. The political outcomes raised inflation expectations due to expected fiscal stimulus such as reduced tax rates, infrastructure investment, and a pro-growth regulatory environment. The Fed raised its target rate in December, March, and June. The Fed also communicated its intention to begin tapering the size of its balance sheet later this year. Meanwhile, risk assets continued to rally, shrugging off headwinds of both political uncertainty and weakness in economic data.

Real Estate Debt Fund

For the 12 months to 30 September 2017, the Real Estate Debt Fund reported net performance of 0.56%. Over the year, the Fund benefitted from positive security selection which contributed over 175 bps of gross excess return compared to the Bloomberg Barclays CMBS Investment Grade Index. Holdings of shorter duration, higher yielding securities contributed most to overall portfolio performance while 2013-vintage BBB- bonds were also solid contributors. The Real Estate Debt Fund invests primarily in U.S. commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) with an objective of providing attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns. The Sub-Investment Adviser has constructed a diversified portfolio with exposure to a wide range of vintage and credit segments, which to date has carried a higher yield profile compared to the Bloomberg Barclays CMBS Investment Grade Index. Demand for alternative sources of yield has benefitted the portfolio as investors have shown interest in the asset class. Meanwhile, the significant increase in the 10-year U.S. treasury rate experienced in the 4

th quarter 2016 negatively impacted total return from a mark-to-market perspective.

Real Estate Debt Fund (continued)

CMBS represents a fixed income investment in an underlying pool of first mortgages secured by commercial real estate properties located throughout the United States. The health of the commercial real estate market is directly influenced by the health of the economy, and more specifically, the U.S. job market which has added over 1.75 million jobs over the past 12 months. A continuation of synchronized global economic growth, generally balanced real estate supply/demand fundamentals, and property-level income growth may benefit the credit performance of the portfolio. Conversely, heightened geopolitical risk, an emergence of growth concerns, rising rates (especially in longer maturities), and/or weak market technicals could negatively impact the portfolio. The CMBS market continues to evolve, having adapted to risk-retention regulation while overcoming the significant refinance maturity wave of 2016-2017. The yield enhancement offered by CMBS appears attractive given stable real estate fundamentals and the opportunity CMBS presents to diversify broader fixed income portfolios.

Global Income Fund (launched 29 March 2017)

From launch to 30 September 2017, the Global Income Fund reported net performance of 6.40%. Global high dividend equities continued their upward trend in September as the risk-on environment maintained momentum, and global high yield bonds were not far behind with another positive month and additional spread tightening. Once again, natural disasters, nationalism, geopolitical tensions, and political turmoil dominated headlines, but earnings growth and improving fundamentals provided support. In the U.S., Europe and around the globe, interest rates stayed near historical lows and the divergence in monetary policy between the U.S. tightening and Europe’s accommodative stance remained in effect, but to a lesser degree. The ECB indicated that it may start to taper its quantitative easing program while the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee held their target rate steady, as did Japan. The Fund’s allocation to equity and fixed income securities in the global industrials and services and global finance sectors aided performance as they outperformed the aggregate benchmark. Conversely, the Fund’s allocation to equity and fixed income securities in the global emerging markets and global real estate and infrastructure sectors hindered performance as they underperformed the aggregate benchmark. With elevated equity valuations, slightly reduced by earnings growth, and expectations for an uptick in volatility, the Fund is slightly overweight in fixed income and underweight in equities versus its long-term strategic asset allocation targets. Across the portfolio’s four economic income sectors, the Fund is tactically underweight in the global emerging markets sector and slightly overweight in the others. For the Global Industrials and Services sector, we have a slight tactical overweight. Within this space, the global earnings recovery bodes well for these cyclically oriented securities. In the global real estate and infrastructure sector, these defensive “rent” type securities serve as a key risk ballast for the portfolio. Lastly, in the Global Finance sector, the confluence of the spectre of rising rates and delayed regulatory implementation have resulted in a positive re-rating of financial assets.

Finisterre Unconstrained Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund (launched 2 May 2017)

From launch to 30 September 2017, the Finisterre Unconstrained Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund reported net performance of 3.33%. Most outperformance was from gains on Brazilian local rates, on Petrobras, and on the recovery of the oil operator Odebrecht. Our Mexican positions also contributed positively on the back of a strong appreciation of the peso. Finally, Iraq was a large contributor to performance, as recovering oil and constructive engagement with the International Monetary Fund benefited our sovereign and corporate positions. We incurred most of our losses on credit default swap (“CDS”) exposure in Qatar, on a five-year interest rates swap receiver that was not entirely compensated by our gains on Indian USD credits, and on the fluctuating situation in Venezuela. Finisterre’s total return strategy generated solid returns from its launch, having successfully captured the bulk of the positive momentum in emerging markets fixed income while avoiding much of the weakness around the U.S. election. The key generators of returns were positions in a range of Brazilian and Mexican assets (both local and credit) and positions in Iraq, Argentina, Egypt and Ukraine. Modest losses were taken on a small subset of positions, most notably credit in Venezuela and rates in India.

Finisterre Unconstrained Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund (launched 2 May 2017) (continued)

We continue to believe that the broad emerging markets cycle remains friendly with a solid 5+% growth number largely baked in for 2017 and momentum remaining positive heading into 2018. Although overall momentum seems to be reaching a plateau, the quality of growth looks higher with a great contribution from internal sources. We are not particularly worried about a meaningful repricing of emerging market risk in the near term but we are cognisant that the move higher in U.S. yields may have further to go and that price dynamics at present are not particularly favourable. We are mindful of protecting the Profit & Loss we have generated so far this year by maintaining a significant cash allocation, remaining tactical in momentum assets in credit and local, and focusing long risk positions on our highest conviction views. We remain cautiously constructive. Principal Global Investors, LLC 3 November 2017

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

In our opinion, Principal Global Investors Funds’ financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the Funds’ (as listed on pages 4-6) assets, liabilities and financial position as at 30 September 2017 and of their results for the year then ended;

have been properly prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland (accounting standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council of the UK, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”, and promulgated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland and Irish law); and

have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011 (as amended).

We have audited the financial statements, included within the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements, which comprise:

the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 September 2017;

the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year then ended;

the Statement of Movement in Net Assets Attributable to Redeemable Participating Unitholders for the year then ended;

the Portfolio of Investments for each of the Funds as at 30 September 2017; and

the notes to the financial statements for each of the Funds, which include a description of the significant accounting policies.

Our opinion is consistent with our reporting to the Audit Committee.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Ireland) (“ISAs (Ireland)”) and applicable law.

Our responsibilities under ISAs (Ireland) are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We remained independent of the Trust in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Ireland, which includes IAASA’s Ethical Standard as applicable to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, we declare that non-audit services prohibited by IAASA’s Ethical Standard were not provided to the Trust.

Other than those disclosed in note 7, we have provided no non-audit services to the Trust in the period from 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2017.

Our audit approach

Overview

Materiality

Overall materiality: 50 basis points of Net Assets Value ("NAV") at 30 September 2017 for each of the Trust’s Funds with the exception of the fixed income funds where the materiality is 100 basis points of NAV at 30 September 2017.

Audit scope

The Trust is an open-ended umbrella Unit Trust. We tailored the scope of our audit taking into account the types of investments within the Funds, the involvement of the third parties referred to overleaf, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Trust operates. We look at each of the Funds at an individual level.

Key audit matters

Existence of Investments in Securities at Fair Value

Valuation of Investments in Securities at Fair Value

The scope of our audit

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we looked at where the manager made subjective judgements, for example the selection of pricing sources to value the investment portfolio. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the manager that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in the auditors’ professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) identified by the auditors, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters, and any comments we make on the results of our procedures thereon, were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. This is not a complete list of all risks identified by our audit.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Existence and valuation of Investments in Securities at Fair Value

See the portfolio of investments for each Fund and refer to the Principal Accounting Policies of the financial statements of the Trust for further details.

The Investments in Securities at Fair Value in the Statement of Financial Position of each Fund are held in the Funds’ name at 30 September 2017 and are valued at fair value in line with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland.

These areas are considered key audit matters as they represent the principal elements of the financial statements.

We obtained independent confirmation from the Depositary of the Investments in Securities at Fair Value, held at 30 September 2017, agreeing the amounts held to the accounting records.

We tested the valuation of the Investments in Securities at Fair Value, by independently agreeing the valuation of the investments to third party vendor sources.

How we tailored the audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Trust, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which it operates.

The manager controls the affairs of the Trust and is responsible for the overall investment policy which is determined by them. The manager has delegated certain responsibilities to Principal Global Investors, LLC (the ‘Investment Adviser’) and to BNY Mellon Fund Services (Ireland) Designated Activity Company (the ‘Administrator’). The financial statements, which remain the responsibility of the manager, are prepared on their behalf by the Administrator. The Trust has appointed BNY Mellon Trust Company (Ireland) Ltd (the “Depositary”) to act as Depositary of the Trust’s assets. In establishing the overall approach to our audit we assessed the risk of material misstatement at a fund level, taking into account the nature, likelihood and potential magnitude of any misstatement. As part of our risk assessment, we considered the Trust’s interaction with the Administrator, and we assessed the control environment in place at the Administrator.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. We set certain quantitative thresholds for materiality. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures on the individual financial statement line items and disclosures and in evaluating the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality for the financial statements of each of the Trust’s Funds as follows:

Overall materiality and how we determined it

50 basis points (2016: 50 basis points) of Net Assets Value ("NAV") at 30 September 2017 for each of the Trust’s Funds with the exception of the fixed income Funds where the materiality is 100 basis points (2016: 100 basis points) of NAV at 30 September 2017.

Rationale for benchmark applied We have applied this benchmark because the main objective of the Trust is to provide investors with a total return at a fund level, taking account of the capital and income returns.

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above 10% of overall materiality of each Fund’s NAV, for NAV per share impacting differences (2016: 5 basis points of each Fund’s NAV, for NAV per share impacting differences) as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which ISAs (Ireland) require us to report to you where:

the manager’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or

the manager has not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Funds’ ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the Funds’ ability to continue as going concerns.

Reporting on other information

The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements other than the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The manager is responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify an apparent material inconsistency or material misstatement, we are required to perform procedures to conclude whether there is a material misstatement of the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report based on these responsibilities.

Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit

Responsibilities of the manager for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the Statement of Manager's Responsibilities set out on page 27, the manager is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the applicable framework giving a true and fair view.

The manager is also responsible for such internal control as the manager determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the manager is responsible for assessing the Funds’ ability to continue as going concerns, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the manager intends to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (Ireland) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the IAASA website at:

https://www.iaasa.ie/getmedia/b2389013-1cf6-458b-9b8f-a98202dc9c3a/Description_of_auditors_responsibilities_for_audit.pdf.

This description forms part of our auditors’ report.

Use of this report

This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the unitholders of each of the Funds as a body in accordance with the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011 (as amended) and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Appointment

We were appointed by the Manager on 10 November 1999 to audit the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2000 and subsequent financial periods. The period of total uninterrupted engagement is 18 years, covering the years ended 30 September 2000 to 30 September 2017.

Manager

The Manager of the Trust is required by the UCITS Regulations to prepare financial statements for each accounting period which gives a true and fair view of the financial position of the Trust at the end of that period, the results of its operations and the movement in net assets for the period then ended. In preparing these financial statements the Manager is required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgments and estimates that are prudent and reasonable; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in operation.

The Manager is responsible for keeping proper books of account which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and for ensuring that the financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland and for ensuring that they comply with the provisions of the Trust Deed, the UCITS Regulations and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission's Code on Unit Trusts and Mutual Funds. The Manager is also responsible with respect to its duties under the UCITS Regulations to take reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. FORMATION

The Principal Global Investors Funds (“the Trust”) was constituted under the laws of Ireland by a Trust Deed dated 13 October 1992 as an open-ended umbrella Unit Trust established as an Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (“UCITS”). It is an umbrella Unit Trust in that different classes of units may be issued from time to time by the Manager. Units of certain classes of the Trust are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. The Trust has been authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”) pursuant to the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011, (as amended) and the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2015, (as amended) (the “UCITS Regulations”).

The financial statements have been prepared for the year ended 30 September 2017.

The investment portfolios (“Funds”) of the Trust are listed on pages 4 to 6. The Portfolios of Investments are listed on pages 28 to 93.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Convention and Basis of Accounting The annual audited financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland (“Irish GAAP”) including Financial Reporting Standard (“FRS”) 102, “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland” and the provisions of the UCITS Regulations and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission’s Code on Unit Trusts and Mutual Funds. Irish GAAP used in preparing financial statements which present a true and fair view are those standards published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (the “Institute”) and issued by the Financial Reporting Council (“FRC”). The Trust has also applied the “Amendments to FRS 102 – Fair value hierarchy disclosures” which were issued in March 2016 and are applicable for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 with early application permitted.

The Trust has availed of the exemption available to open ended investment funds that hold a substantial proportion of highly liquid and fair valued investments under Section 7 “Statement of Cash Flows” of FRS 102 and is not presenting cash flow statements.

The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the report has been prepared on a going concern basis for all Funds in the Trust under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, except for the Global Equity (ex-Japan) Fund, Origin Global Equity Fund, Long/Short Global Opportunities Equity Fund and Global Credit Alpha Fund which have terminated - these have been prepared on a non-going concern basis. The report has been prepared in USD for all Funds’ on the platform. The functional and presentation currency of the Trust is the USD.

The format and certain wordings of the financial statements have been adapted from those contained in Irish statute so that, in the opinion of the Directors, they more appropriately reflect the nature of the Trusts business as an investment fund.

The information required by FRS 102, to be included in a single statement of comprehensive income for the reporting period displaying all items of income and expense recognised during the period including those items recognised in determining profit or loss and items of other comprehensive income and a Reconciliation of Movements in Shareholders' Funds are, in the opinion of the Directors, contained in the Statements of Comprehensive Income and the Statements of Movement in Net Assets Attributable to Redeemable Participating Unitholders. In arriving at the results for the year, all amounts in the Statements of Comprehensive Income relate to continuing activities except for the Global Equity (ex-Japan) Fund, Origin Global Equity Fund, Long/Short Global Opportunities Equity Fund and Global Credit Alpha Fund which have terminated. In the opinion of the Directors, the financial statements give, in all other respects, the information required by the UCITS Regulations and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission's Code on Unit Trusts and Mutual Funds.

All gains or losses for the year are reflected in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The significant accounting policies adopted by the Trust are set out overleaf. These policies have been consistently applied to the financial periods presented unless otherwise stated.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial Instruments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss Under FRS 102, in accounting for its financial instruments a reporting entity is required to apply either (a) the full provisions of Section 11 "Basic Financial Instruments" and Section 12 "Other Financial Instruments Issues" of FRS 102, (b) the recognition and measurement provisions of International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (“IAS 39”) and only the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102; or c) the recognition and measurement provisions of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) 9 “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”) and the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12. The Trust has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of lAS 39 and the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12.

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets and liabilities held for trading, and those designated by the Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) at fair value through profit or loss at inception. All instruments on the Portfolio of Investments are classified as held at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, all instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with changes in their fair value recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive the cashflow from the investments have expired or the Funds have transferred substantially all of the risks or rewards of ownership.

Accounting for Investments Investments are recognised on the trade date at mid or last traded prices. Realised gains or losses on investment disposals are calculated using the average cost method. Realised gains or losses on investment transactions in debt instruments are calculated using the amortised cost method based on the effective interest rate.

Valuation of Investments The year end valuation date was 29 September 2017, the last business day of the year. Securities listed on a recognised stock exchange or traded on any other organised market, are valued at the current mid price at each valuation point on the stock exchange or market which constitutes the principal market for such securities. If trades are received after the dealing cut-off time they will be accounted for in the next valuation. If for specific assets the current mid prices do not, in the opinion of the Manager, reflect their fair value or are not available, the price of the most recent transaction provides evidence of the current fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances since the time of the transaction or the Manager may also apply a fair value adjustment where they deem appropriate in order to reflect fair value.

In the case of any security not listed, quoted or dealt on a regulated market or for which no quotation or value is available which would provide a fair valuation, or in respect of which the price is unrepresentative, the fair value of such security is determined on the basis of the probable realisation value and is determined by the Investment Adviser, Sub-Investment Adviser(s), a stockbroker or other competent person appointed by the Investment Adviser and approved for the purpose by the Trustee, using valuation techniques.

Futures A futures contract obligates one party to sell and the other party to purchase a specific instrument for an agreed price at an agreed future date. Futures may be used subject to the conditions and limits laid down by the Central Bank and the Trust Deed and subject to any other restrictions or regulations which may affect the portfolio management of the Funds or the Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s). Certain Funds may buy or sell futures to provide an efficient, liquid and effective method for the management of risks by “locking in” gains and/or protecting against future declines in value. The fair value of open future contracts is calculated as the difference between the contracted rate and the current rate that would close out the contract on the Statement of Financial Position date. Gains or losses on futures are included in the Unrealised Gain/(Loss) on Open Future Contracts on the Statement of Financial Position and are shown in the Portfolio of Investments. When the contract is terminated, the Fund will recognise a realised gain or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was entered into and the time it was closed.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts In a Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. The fair value of Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts is calculated as the difference between the contracted rate and the current forward rate that would close out the contract on the Statement of Financial Position date. Gains or losses on Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts are included in the Unrealised Gain/(Loss) on Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts on the Statement of Financial Position and are shown in the Portfolio of Investments. Any realised gains or losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income at trade date. The Funds may enter into these contracts to hedge against changes in currency exchange rates. The Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts are used to hedge the currency exposure on individual positions taken by the Funds and to hedge non base currency investors.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Spot Currency Contracts In a Spot Currency Contract the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date (the spot date). This date is typically within three business days of inception of the contract. The fair value of Open Spot Currency Contracts is calculated as the difference between the contracted rate and the current forward rate that would close out the contract on the Statement of Financial Position date. Gains or losses on Spot Currency Contracts are included in the Unrealised Gain/(Loss) on Open Spot Currency Contracts on the Statement of Financial Position and are shown in the Portfolio of Investments. Any realised gains or losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income at trade date. The Funds may enter into these contracts to hedge against changes in currency exchange rates.

Forward Rate Agreements A Forward Rate Agreement (“FRA”) is a forward contract on a short-term interest rate, usually Libor, in which cash flow obligations at maturity are calculated on a notional amount and based on the difference between a predetermined forward rate and the market rate prevailing on that date. The settlement rate of an FRA is the date at which cash flow obligations are determined. Gains or losses on FRA’s are included in the Unrealised Gain/(Loss) on Forward Rate Agreements on the Statement of Financial Position and are shown in the Portfolio of Investments. Any realised gains or losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income at trade date. The Funds may enter into these contracts to hedge against changes in currency exchange rates.

Credit Default Swaps A Credit Default Swap is a credit derivative transaction in which two parties enter into an agreement, whereby one party pays the other a fixed periodic coupon for the specified life of the agreement. The other party makes no payments unless a credit event, relating to a predetermined reference asset occurs. If such an event occurs, the party will then make a payment to the first party and the swap will terminate. When the swap terminates any realised gains or losses arising are reflected in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as part of the Net Gain/(Loss) on investment activities. A Credit Default Swap provides the Fund with an alternative to investing in assets themselves for a potentially higher return with the same risk or they may be used to obtain exposure to assets which the Fund could not otherwise acquire due to illiquidity in the relevant market. The Fund recognises the swap when it becomes party to the contract. The Credit Default Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and recorded in the Statement of Financial Position as Market Value Gain/(Loss) on Swap Contracts. At 30 September 2017, there was Cash Collateral pledged by the Funds. This collateral is pledged with the counterparty to the contract.

Interest Rate Swaps An Interest Rate Swap is a bilateral agreement in which each of the parties agrees to exchange a series of interest payments for another series of payments (usually fixed/floating) based on a notional amount that serves as a computation basis and that is usually not exchanged. The Interest Rate Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and recorded in the Statement of Financial Position as Market Value Gain/(Loss) on Swap Contracts. When the swap terminates any realised gains or losses arising are reflected in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as part of the Net Gain/(Loss) on investment activities. At 30 September 2017, there was Cash Collateral pledged by the Funds. This collateral is pledged with the counterparty to the contract.

Cross Currency Swaps A Cross Currency Swap is an interest rate swap in which the cash flows are in different currencies. Upon initiation of a Cross Currency Swap, the counterparties make an initial exchange of notional principles in the two currencies. During the life of the swap, each party pays interest (in the currency of the principle received) to the other at fixed dates and at the maturity of the swap, the parties make the final exchange of the initial principle amounts, reversing the initial exchange at the same spot rate. The Cross Currency Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and recorded in the Statement of Financial Position as Market Value Gain/(Loss) on Swap Contracts. When the swap terminates any realised gains or losses arising are reflected in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as part of the Net Gain/(Loss) on investment activities. At 30 September 2017, there was Cash Collateral pledged by the Funds. This collateral is pledged with the counterparty to the contract.

Total Return Swaps A Total Return Swap is a financial contract whereby one party agrees to pay another party the total return of a defined asset in return for receiving a floating rate return. The Trust enters into unfunded swap agreements on behalf of the Fund. Total Return Swaps are marked to market using valuation sources/methods and the fair value is recorded in the Statement of Financial Position as Market Value Gain/(Loss) on Swap Contracts. The change in unrealised gains and losses or any realised gains or losses arising on termination are shown in Net Gain/(Loss) on investment activities in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Total Return Swaps (continued) Total Return Swap positions are valued using models which utilise observable data to the extent practicable and contain assumptions on the application of this data. Changes in data inputs and assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of the Total Return Swaps.

Option Contracts Options are Financial Derivative Instruments (“FDIs”) that give the buyer, in exchange for a premium payment, the right, but not the obligation, to either purchase (call option) or to sell to (put option) the writer a specified underlying instrument at a specified price on or before a specified date. The Funds enter into exchange-traded contracts to meet the requirements of its risk management and trading activities. All open option positions are included in the Market Value Gain/(Loss) on Option Contracts in the Statement of Financial Position.

When options are closed, the difference between the premium and the amount paid or received, net of brokerage commissions, or the full amount of the premium if the option expires worthless, is treated as a realised gain or loss and is included in Net Gain/Loss on investment activities in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Funds may enter into these contracts to hedge against changes in currency exchange rates.

Swaptions A swaption (swap option) is the option to enter into an interest rate swap or some other type of swap. In exchange for an option premium, the buyer gains the right but not the obligation to enter into a specified swap agreement with the issuer on a specified future date. There are two different kinds of swaptions: a payer swaption and a receiver swaption. In a payer swaption, the purchaser has the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap contract where he pays the fixed-rate and receives the floating-rate. A receiver swaption is the opposite; the purchaser has the option to enter into a swap contract where he will receive the fixed rate and pay the floating rate. All open swaption positions are included in the Market Value Gain/(Loss) on Swaptions in the Statement of Financial Position. When swaptions are closed any realised gain or loss is included in Net Gain/Loss on investment activities in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Foreign Currency Transactions In accordance with Section 30 “Foreign Currency Translation” of FRS 102, items included in the individual Fund’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (functional currency). The Fund’s selection of the functional currency is attributable to the functional currency being: a) the major component of the Fund’s benchmark and b) the common proxy for most clients in the Fund’s varied client base. The functional currency assessment was completed at a Fund level. The Funds’ presentation currencies equated to their respective functional currencies when assessed under FRS 102. The functional currency of each Fund of the Trust is USD.

For each Fund: (i) Currency gains or losses can arise where there is a difference between the amounts of foreign dividends and

interest recorded on the Fund’s books and the Fund’s functional currency equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These gains or losses are included where appropriate in the dividend and interest income figure in the individual Fund’s Statement of Comprehensive Income;

(ii) Currency gains or losses realised on securities purchases and sales transactions are included in Net Gain/(Loss) on investment activities in the individual Fund’s Statement of Comprehensive Income;

(iii) Unrealised currency gains or losses on securities held at year end are included in Net Gain/(Loss) on investment activities in the individual Fund’s Statement of Comprehensive Income; and

(iv) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Fund’s functional currency are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the close of business on the Statement of Financial Position date and exchange differences are included in Net Gain/(Loss) on investment activities in the individual Fund’s Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Income from Investments Dividends are credited to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on the dates on which the relevant securities are listed as “ex-dividend”. Interest income is accounted for daily on an effective yield basis. Income is shown gross of any non-recoverable withholding taxes, which are disclosed separately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, and net of any tax credits. Realised gains or losses on investment transactions in debt instruments are calculated using the amortised cost method based on the effective interest rate.

Net Gain/(Loss) on Investment Activities In respect of each instrument type classified as Financial Instruments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss, the movement in unrealised gains/(losses) since the prior period end and realised gains/(losses) are included in Net Gain/(Loss) on investment activities in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Interest earned on fixed income securities such as bonds is included here also.

Expenses Operating expenses inclusive of Performance Fees, are recognised on an accruals basis in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Formation Costs

Formation costs, if any are incurred, will be written off over a five year period as per the dealing valuation.

Anti Dilution Levy The Manager may exercise its discretion to apply an anti dilution levy in relation to subscriptions and redemptions of units. The levy is an allowance for fiscal and other charges that may be deducted from the Net Asset Value per Unit of the relevant class to reflect the costs of acquiring or disposing of underlying assets to fund subscriptions or redemptions from the Fund, respectively. The levy is intended to be used to ensure that all investors in the Trust are treated equitably by allocating transaction costs to the investors whose transactions give rise to those costs.

Cash at Bank Cash is valued at amortised cost, which approximates fair value. Cash is held with the Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company (Ireland) Limited.

Cash Collateral & Pledged Collateral Cash Collateral provided by the Fund is identified in the Statement of Financial Position as Cash Collateral and is not included as a component of Cash at Bank. For collateral other than cash, if the party to whom the collateral is provided has the right by contract or custom to sell or re-pledge the collateral, the Fund classifies that asset in its Statement of Financial Position separately from Other Assets and identifies the asset as pledged collateral. Where the party to whom the collateral is provided does not have the right to sell or re-pledge; a disclosure of the collateral provided is made in the notes to the financial statements.

Margin Cash Receivable/Payable Cash Collateral Receivable/Payable to the Trust in relation to the open Futures Contracts and open Swap Contracts is identified in the Statement of Financial Position as Margin Cash Receivable/Payable and is not included as a component of Cash at Bank. Margin Cash Receivable/Payable at 30 September 2017 is held with the brokers Barclays and Citigroup.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or minimise the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.

Participating Units All participating units issued by the Funds provide the investors the right to acquire redemptions for cash at the value proportionate to the investor’s share in the Fund’s net assets at the redemption date. Such instruments give rise to a financial liability for the present value of the redemption amount. In accordance with the issued prospectus the Funds are contractually obliged to redeem units at the traded Net Asset Value per unit which is calculated at each valuation point.

3. TAXATION

Under current law and practice the Trust qualifies as an investment undertaking as defined in Section 739B of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended. On that basis, it is not chargeable to Irish tax on its income or gains.

However, Irish tax may arise on the happening of a “chargeable event”. A chargeable event includes any distribution payments to Unitholders, any encashment, redemption, cancellation or transfer of units and any deemed disposals of units as described below for Irish tax purposes arising as a result of holding units in the Trust for a period of eight years or more. Where a chargeable event occurs, the Trust is required to account for the Irish tax thereon.

No Irish tax will arise on the Trust in respect of chargeable events in respect of: (i) a Unitholder who is neither Irish resident nor ordinarily resident in Ireland for tax purposes, at the time of the

chargeable event, provided appropriate valid declarations in accordance with the provisions of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended, are held by the Trust or the Trust has been authorised by the Irish Revenue to make gross payments in the absence of appropriate declarations; and

(ii) certain exempted Irish tax resident Unitholders who have provided the Trust with the necessary signed statutory declarations.

Dividends, interest and capital gains (if any) received on investments made by the Trust may be subject to taxes imposed by the country from which the investment income/gains are received and such taxes may not be recoverable by the Trust or its Unitholders. Redeeming Units When a redemption request has been submitted by a Unitholder who is or is deemed to be an Irish resident, or is acting on behalf of an Irish resident, the Manager shall deduct from the redemption proceeds an amount which is equal to the tax payable by the Unit Trust to the Revenue Commissioners in Ireland in respect of the relevant transaction.

7. SIGNIFICANT CONTRACTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Management Fee Pursuant to the Trust Deed dated 13 October 1992, Principal Global Investors (Ireland) Limited (“the Manager”) acts as Manager to the Trust and is responsible for its management and administration. For services rendered, the Trust will pay to the Manager an annual fee, accrued daily in the unit price and payable monthly in arrears. The Management Fee is currently calculated as a percentage of the Net Asset Value of each Fund and is accrued every Business Day. These related party transactions have been entered into in the ordinary course of business. The Management Fee expense is shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the accrued amount is shown in the Statement of Financial Position. Management Fee rates for each unit class are listed in the supplement for each Fund. These are available from the www.principalglobal.com website.

Management Fee Rebate I Class Investors in certain Funds in agreement with the Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s), are entitled to a reduction in their effective annual Management Fee. This fee reduction is effected by way of a Management Fee Rebate, paid as cash and/or additional units purchased on the investors behalf by the Manager of the Fund. The effective Management Fees paid/accrued by these investors are disclosed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position. Those Funds to which the rebate applies, the ranges and the amount of the rebate applicable to those ranges are disclosed in the supplements for each Fund.

Expense Cap The Manager, at its discretion, may absorb (directly by waiving a portion of its fees or by reimbursement to the account of each Fund), certain additional fees, costs or expenses for each Fund that may arise in respect of the management and operation of the Trust attributable to each Fund. This Expense Cap fee is shown as Rebate/Recharge to the Fund due to capping in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the accrual/prepaid amount is shown as part of Other Assets or Other Payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Administration Fee In addition to the Management Fee, the Trust Deed permits the Manager to charge an Administration Fee of up to 0.15% per annum of the value of the units in the Funds for administering the Trust. Currently the Manager only charges this fee on the Net Asset Value of the Funds attributable to A, D, F and N Class units. This fee is calculated as a percentage of the Net Asset Value of each Fund attributable to A, D, F and N Class units and is accrued every Business Day. The total accrued amount is paid monthly in arrears. All fees and expenses payable to the Administrator in respect of the administration services it provides to the Manager will be met by the Manager. Administration Fee expense is shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the accrued amount is shown in the Statement of Financial Position.

Trustee and Depositary Fee The Manager appointed BNY Mellon Trust Company (Ireland) Limited to act as the Trustee to the Trust. The principal activity of the Trustee is to act as the Depositary and Trustee of the assets of collective investment schemes (“CISs”). The Trustee may retain for its own use out of each Fund a fee of up to 0.022% per annum of the Net Asset Value of the units calculated on each Business Day during the month, accrued and deducted from the Fund the following month - subject to a minimum fee of US$15,000 per annum which may be waived. The fee currently charged by the Trustee per Fund is disclosed in the relevant supplement for each Fund. The Trustee Fee expense is shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the accrued amount is shown in the Statement of Financial Position.

Directors’ Remuneration Mr. David Shubotham, Mr. John O’Connell, Ms. Bronwyn Wright and Mr. Jim Firn are independent non-executive Directors of the Manager and have no executive function with the Investment Adviser or its related party companies. The Manager pays each independent non-executive Director an annual fee of €25,000 for their services rendered to the Trust. Mr. Nicholas Lyster (resigned 11 August 2017), Mr. Christopher Henderson, Mr. Mike Beer, Mr Greg Thornton (appointed 11 August 2017) are related parties to the Investment Adviser and receive no compensation from the Trust.

Sub-Custody Fee The Depositary will be paid a fee at normal commercial rates and such fee shall be paid out of the Fund. The level of Sub-Custodian Fees and expenses will vary depending on the investment profile of the Fund including, in particular, the nature of the securities markets in which the Fund invests, the size of the Fund and the amount of trading in the assets of the Fund. Such fees will be charged at normal commercial rates and will only be reimbursed from a Fund where they are less than 0.50% per annum of the Net Asset Value of the Fund. The Manager will pay any fees that exceed this level. Depositary Fee expense is shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the accrued amount is shown in the Statement of Financial Position.

7. SIGNIFICANT CONTRACTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (continued)

Performance Fees The Investment Adviser is entitled to receive out of the Net Asset Value of the Global Time Diversified Absolute Return Fund and the Finisterre Emerging Market Debt Fund a Performance Fee. The Performance Fee is accrued on each Business Day as an expense of the relevant Unit Class. It is calculated by the Administrator in respect of each period of one calendar year (a Performance Period) and paid by the Administrator annually in arrears. For each Performance Period, the Performance Fee in respect of each unit will be equal to 20% for the Global Time Diversified Absolute Return Fund and 15% on the Finisterre Emerging Market Debt Fund (20% for any A Class Units) of the appreciation in the Net Asset Value per Unit before the deduction of any accrued Performance Fee during the Performance Period above the Initial Issue Price of that Unit Class or, if higher, above the highest Net Asset Value per Unit Class achieved as of the end of any previous Performance Period where a Performance Fee was paid (the Peak Net Asset Value). The Peak Net Asset Value is recalculated at the end of each Performance Period.

Audit Fees The audit fee charged for the year ended 30 September 2017 was $305,508 excluding VAT (2016: $261,003 excluding VAT). Other than statutory audit fees disclosed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income the only other fees paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers in Dublin, Ireland as the Statutory Auditor of the Trust were in relation to tax services provided amounting to $79,410 (2016: $84,427).

9. EFFICIENT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

The Funds are denominated in USD but purchase assets denominated in a range of currencies. During the year, transactions were entered into which are economically appropriate to the reduction of relevant risks or costs to improve investment performance.

Subject to the conditions and within the limits from time to time laid down by the Central Bank, and except as otherwise stated in the investment objective and policies of a Fund, the Investment Adviser and/or Sub-Investment Adviser(s) may employ, for certain Funds, investment techniques and instruments such as futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps, options and other derivatives for Efficient Portfolio Management (“EPM”) purposes. Furthermore, new techniques and instruments may be developed which may be suitable for use by a Fund in the future, and a Fund may employ such techniques and instruments subject to the prior approval of, and any restrictions imposed by, the Central Bank.

For UCITS which have engaged in EPM techniques, certain disclosures are required under Chapter 4 of the Central Bank UCITS Regulations. The Investment Advisers of the Funds have identified all FDIs which are used for EPM. A UCITS is required to disclose the revenues arising from EPM techniques for the entire reporting period together with the direct and indirect operational costs and fees incurred.

The Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) considers only repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending to be EPM techniques. None of the Funds held repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements or took part in securities lending as at year end date 30 September 2017 or at 30 September 2016.

Details of all open transactions at the year end are disclosed in the Portfolios of Investments.

10. DEALING COMMISSION ARRANGEMENTS

The Investment Adviser appointed in relation to each Fund is responsible for the selection of brokers with whom they deal. In relation to certain equity funds, the Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) have entered into dealing commission arrangements with brokers whereby they obtain services or benefits from them, or from third parties – which are paid for out of commissions charged to the Funds. Such services or benef its relate primarily to research and portfolio management, and their purchase is compliant with relevant local regulation; including being a permitted service. The relevant Investment Adviser/Sub Investment Adviser(s) are satisfied that trades generating soft commissions comply with the relevant local regulations requiring best execution – which requires consideration of relevant factors, including price and execution quality.

11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Strategy in Using Financial Instruments

The activities of each Fund expose it to a variety of financial risks such as market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Funds’ overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Funds’ financial performance. The Funds make use of FDIs to moderate certain risk exposures. The general risk factors set out in the “Special Investment Considerations and Risks” section of the prospectus apply to the Funds and risks specific to these Funds are set out below. These risk factors do not purport to be an exhaustive or complete explanation of all the risks associated with an investment in the Funds and persons considering purchasing units should inform themselves as to (i) the legal requirements within their own countries for the purchase of units, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions which may be applicable and (iii) the income and other tax consequences of purchase and repurchase of units.

The risk management process operates at a number of levels. In addition to the Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) monitoring investment activity and exposure at the point of execution ensuring a Fund is managed according to its guidelines and objectives, the Depositary and the Trustee of the Funds also provide an independent analysis of financial instrument exposure by monitoring investment limits in accordance with the UCITS Regulations and the Funds’ prospectus.

The Funds’ overall market positions are monitored on a daily basis by the Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) and compliance with the Funds’ investment guidelines are monitored on an ongoing basis by the Investment Adviser/Sub Investment Adviser(s) and Trustee. The Board of Directors of the Manager have oversight of the risk management process and receive monthly and quarterly reports from the Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) and the Trustee. The Funds’ investments in securities are subject to normal market fluctuations and other risks inherent in investing in securities. The value of investments and the income from them, and therefore the value of the units can go down as well as up and an investor may not get back the amount they invest. The strategies as enumerated for the funds below and overleaf are summarised, please refer to the prospectus and supplements of the individual funds for greater detail. These are available on the www.principalglobal.com website.

Global Small Cap Equity Fund

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide medium to long-term capital growth. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in publicly listed equity securities of smaller capitalisation companies in markets globally. It is anticipated that the Fund will usually hold at least 70% in such securities. The Fund can also invest in REITS and equity securities of issuers that derive income or profits from products or services related to the global property industry. It may also invest in other Funds of the Trust in order to seek to meet its objective.

Origin Global Emerging Markets Fund

The objective of the Fund is to seek to achieve capital growth through investment in global emerging market equities. The Fund will invest in transferable equity and equity-related securities of a diversified range of companies in what the Sub-Investment Adviser considers to be emerging economies of the world, normally with a minimum market capitalisation on purchase of USD250 million. These securities will primarily be common stocks and other securities with equity characteristics, including but not limited to preferred stocks, warrants (only held where an existing holding is subject to an issuance of warrants and, in aggregate, normally not more than 5% of the Fund’s Net Asset Value) and rights as well as depositary receipts for such securities, all of which are traded on securities exchanges or regulated markets.

Origin Global Equity Fund The objective of the Fund was to seek to achieve capital growth through investment in global equities. The Fund could invest in transferable equity and equity-related securities of a diversified range of companies throughout the globe, normally with a minimum market capitalisation on purchase of USD1 billion. The Fund was constructed with very limited regard to the characteristics of any market capitalisation weighted global equity indices. These securities could primarily be common stocks and other securities with equity characteristics, including but not limited to preferred stocks, warrants (only held where an existing holding was subject to an issuance of warrants and, in aggregate, normally not more than 5% of the Fund’s Net Asset Value) and rights as well as depositary receipts for such securities, all of which were traded on securities exchanges or regulated markets. The Fund terminated on 24 February 2017.

Origin Global Smaller Companies Fund

The objective of the Fund is to seek to achieve capital growth through investment in global smaller companies. The Fund will invest in transferable equity and equity-related securities of a diversified range of companies throughout the globe, normally with a maximum market capitalisation on purchase of up to USD5 billion. These securities will primarily be common stocks and other securities with equity characteristics, including but not limited to preferred stocks, warrants (only held where an existing holding is subject to an issuance of warrants and, in aggregate, normally not more than 5% of the Fund’s Net Asset Value) and rights as well as depositary receipts for such securities, all of which are traded on securities exchanges or regulated markets.

Long/Short Global Opportunities Equity Fund The investment objective of the Fund was to seek capital growth over the medium to long term with the secondary objective of seeking to limit volatility. The Fund sought to achieve its objective by investing principally in both long and short positions in equity securities and equity related securities (comprising American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts) from investment markets around the world. The Fund could hold short positions synthetically through the use of FDIs. The Fund could also invest in eligible REITS or other REIT-like structures which would be the equivalent of REITS. It could also invest in other Funds of the Trust and eligible ETFs. The Fund terminated on 1 March 2017.

Claritas Latin American Equity Fund The investment objective of the Fund is to provide capital growth over the medium to long term. The Fund will invest primarily in equity securities of Latin American companies, which are, companies with their principal place of business or principal office in Latin American countries and/or companies for which their principal securities trading market is a Latin American country. “Latin American” is defined as all countries located in the American continent, except Canada and the United States of America.

The Fund seeks to achieve the investment objective by investing the majority of its assets in a diversified portfolio of U.S. commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”). CMBS are structured debt securities, typically secured by diversified pools of mortgages on commercial real estate properties located across the U.S. While the Fund will primarily invest in CMBS, it may also invest in unsecured bonds issued by companies primarily engaged in a real estate or real estate related business. The CMBS and unsecured bonds may include Rule 144A securities. The Fund may also use certain FDI’s for investment purposes and the Fund may also hold ancillary liquid assets such as bank deposits and U.S. Treasury Securities.

Global Income Fund The investment objective of the Fund is to provide high current income, with reasonable long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve the investment objective by investing the majority of its assets in income-producing equity, debt and hybrid securities. Hybrid securities are securities with features of both debt and equity securities. The Fund will consistently employ a global asset allocation investment process, which is based upon fundamental research driven, long-term focused security selection. The types of debt securities the Fund may invest in include, but are not limited to, corporate, sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds, commercial and residential mortgage backed securities and other asset backed securities. Investment in commercial and residential mortgage backed securities and other asset backed securities will not exceed 15% of the Fund’s NAV in aggregate. The types of hybrid securities the Fund may invest in are preferred stock and convertible securities, including CoCo securities. The Fund may also invest in UCITS or CISs, the constituents of which would typically include the instruments described above.

Finisterre Unconstrained Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to generate total returns through income and capital appreciation, while limiting volatility and potential capital losses. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by actively investing in a diversified range of fixed-income and FDI, a majority (not less than 51%) issued by or referencing emerging markets. These include corporate, sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities. The Fund seeks to extract value from investments in both investment grade and high yield fixed income instruments, and can include both stressed and distressed securities. A proportion of the net assets of the Fund may be invested in UCITS eligible CISs, including exchange traded funds and the Fund may hold equities as a result of the conversion of a convertible bond or as the result of a debt restructuring.

11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Market Price Risk

All securities and investments present a risk of loss of capital. The Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) moderates this risk through diversification and a careful selection of securities and other financial instruments within the limits defined in the Prospectus.

Except for derivatives, the maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is determined by the fair value of the financial instruments. Possible losses from written options can be unlimited and losses on forwards and futures can result from the movement in currency exchange rates in the time between the forward trade date and the settlement date depending on the volatility of the currencies.

The maximum risk of the Interest Rate Swaps, Credit Default Swaps, Cross Currency Swaps and Total Return Swaps is determined by the fair value of the swaps. The Funds’ overall market positions are monitored on a daily basis by the Funds’ Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s).

The Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) reviews the portfolio characteristics of each Fund in its entirety. This review may include as appropriate a review of country allocations, country weights, capitalization, distribution, industry sector weights, price/book levels, currency exposure, portfolio maturity, portfolio duration, sector exposure, quality exposure and other key risk measures.

The Funds may employ investment techniques and FDIs for EPM and/or investment purposes within the limits set out in the Prospectus as described in the sections ‘General Information’ and ‘Special Investment Considerations and Risks’. The Funds may hold a combination of FDIs such as options, futures, options on futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, repurchase contracts, reverse repurchase agreements, sale and buyback agreements, stock lending agreements, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps and other over the counter derivative instruments which may be used subject to the conditions and limits laid down by the Central Bank and the Trust Deed and subject to any other restrictions or regulations which may affect the portfolio management of the Funds.

Sensitivity Analysis

Sensitivity analysis is an indication based on historical data showing what an impact of 5% movement in the Benchmark would do to the net asset of the Funds at the Statement of Financial Position date.

Limitations of Sensitivity Analysis:

Some limitations of sensitivity analysis are;

the models are based on historical data and cannot take account of the fact that future market price movements, correlations between markets and levels of market liquidity in conditions of market stress may bear no relation to historical patterns;

the market price risk information is a relative estimate of risk rather than a precise and accurate number;

the market price information represents a hypothetical outcome and is not intended to be predictive; and future market conditions could vary significantly from those experienced in the past.

11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Market Price Risk (continued)

The Funds’ market price risk is managed through investment selection and diversification in accordance with The UCITS Regulations and the limits set out in the Prospectus. The Investment Adviser uses their portfolio management selection tool and makes use of tracking errors to monitor deviation with the benchmark. Monthly performance reports are reviewed by the Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) and quarterly by the Board of Directors of the Manager. Each Fund’s overall market exposures and notional exposures for derivatives are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments.

Global Time Diversified Absolute Return Fund, Finisterre Emerging Market Debt Fund, Global Capital Structure Opportunities Fund, Global Credit Alpha Fund and Finisterre Unconstrained Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund use an Absolute Value at Risk ("VaR") model to assess the Fund's market risk. The Global Time Diversified Absolute Return Fund's proprietary model uses a non-parametric approach based on a one-tailed confidence level of 99% for a daily horizon and considering no less than three years of historical data. The Finisterre Emerging Market Debt Fund uses a third-party independent VaR provider, from September 2016 to March 2017, a parametric approach with two year historical data based on a confidence level of 99% with a daily horizon was used. After March 2017 a non-parametric approach based on a confidence level of 99% for a daily horizon and considering no less than two years of historical data was used. The Global Capital Structure Opportunities Fund and Global Credit Alpha Fund (which terminated on the 30 June 2017) calculate VaR using an historical parametric approach with a one-tailed 99% confidence level for a daily holding period and with an effective observation period considering at least one year of historical data. The Finisterre Unconstrained Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund's proprietary model uses a non-parametric approach based on a one-tailed confidence level of 99% for a daily horizon and considering no less than two years of historical data. It is noted that the use of VaR models to assess risk has limitations; these models use historical market data as a basis for their estimates, and assume that future conditions will be like those in the past. The estimates may be unreliable, especially under new or extreme market conditions. As there are frequent changes in a Fund’s holdings, the sensitivity analysis should not be relied upon as a measure of future performance.

The VaR as of 30 September 2017 and 30 September 2016 based on a confidence level of 99% is included in the table below:

Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Under FRS 102, the Trust is required to classify fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1: The unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable (i.e. developed using market data) for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable (i.e. for which market data is unavailable) for the asset or liability. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

The FRC issued "Amendments to FRS 102 - Fair value hierarchy disclosures", effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, with early adoption permitted. FRED 62 proposed to amend paragraphs 34.22 and 34.42 of FRS 102 to require disclosure of financial instruments held at fair value on the basis of a fair value hierarchy consistent with EU-adopted IFRS based on Level 1, 2 and 3 classifications. The Trust has availed of early adoption thus the financial statements and comparatives have been prepared in accordance with these amendments and fair value measurement is categorised based on Levels 1, 2 and 3. The only securities held in Level 3 for the year ended 30 September 2017 or 30 September 2016 were nil valued securities which have been indicated by an asterisk on any relevant funds in the following tables.

11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Interest Rate Risk

Funds which hold interest bearing financial assets and liabilities are exposed to interest rate risk, where the value of the securities may fluctuate as a result of a change in interest rate.

This risk is managed by the setting of limits on the level of cash holdings in the Funds. Such limits are set out in the Funds’ Prospectus. With the fixed income Funds, the Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) has set limits of exposure and uses an internal process to monitor macroeconomic factors affecting interest rate risk.

The Global Equity Fund, Asian Equity Fund, European Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Japanese Equity Fund, U.S. Equity Fund, Global Property Securities Fund, Global Equity (ex-Japan) Fund (Terminated 15 September 2017), Global Small Cap Equity Fund, Origin Global Emerging Markets Fund, Origin Global Equity Fund (Terminated 24 February 2017), Origin Global Smaller Companies Fund, Long/Short Global Opportunities Equity Fund (Terminated 1 March 2017) and Claritas Latin American Equity Fund are not included in the below chart as the majority of the financial assets and liabilities of those Funds are non-interest bearing or have a very short time to maturity. As a result, those Funds are not subject to significant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in the market interest rates.

The following tables summarise the exposure to interest rate risk for the Preferred Securities Fund, High Yield Fund, Post Global Limited Term High Yield Fund, Global Time Diversified Absolute Return Fund, Finisterre Emerging Market Debt Fund, Spectrum Global Capital Securities Fund, Global Capital Structure Opportunities Fund, Real Estate Debt Fund, Global Income Fund and Finisterre Unconstrained Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund. They include each Fund's assets and trading liabilities at fair values, categorised by the earlier of contractual re-pricing or maturity dates. Global Credit Alpha Fund terminated on 30 June 2017.

11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Currency Risk

The Funds may hold assets denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of a Fund. They are therefore exposed to currency risk, as the value of the securities denominated in other currencies will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. A Fund may utilise financial instruments to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of their portfolio positions.

The Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) monitors the currency positions on a daily basis utilising quantitative and fundamental models.

The following tables detail the material monetary currency exposures.

Currency Sensitivity Analysis

The table below details the approximate increase or decrease in Net Assets Attributable to Redeemable Participating Unitholders had the exchange rate between the base currency of the relevant Fund and the relevant foreign currency increased by 5% (or 10% for emerging market currencies) for the monetary assets and non-monetary assets. For forward foreign currency exchange contracts the 5% (or 10% for emerging market currencies) has been applied to the contract price. The Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) considers this movement to be reasonable.

Emerging market countries are those that have low or middle per capita income as determined by the World Bank for at least two consecutive years based on data lagging one year, or those countries that either had restructured external/local debt during the past 10 years or currently have restructured external/local debt outstanding. Investments denominated in emerging market currencies may experience more volatility, can be subject to significant depreciation and may not be freely convertible. In accordance with the prospectus the universe of emerging markets includes any country exluding the G10, Australia, Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal and Spain.

11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Depositary Risk

The Trust’s Depositary is the Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company (Ireland) Limited (“the Depositary”). Substantially all of the Cash at Bank and investments in debt securities of the Trust are held by the Depositary. The Trust is exposed to credit risk through the use of the Depositary for their cash and investments. Bankruptcy or insolvency of the Depositary may cause the Trust’s rights with respect to its cash and investments in debt securities held by the Depositary to be delayed or limited. The maximum exposure to this risk at 30 September 2017 and 30 September 2016 is the amount of Cash at Bank disclosed in Note 4 and the investments in securities, liquidity instruments and forward foreign currency exchange contracts disclosed in the relevant Funds’ Portfolio of Investments.

To mitigate the risks the Trust is exposed to from the use of the Depositary, the Manager employs appropriate procedures to ensure that the counterparties are reputable institutions and that the credit risk is acceptable to the Trust. The Trust only transacts with Depositary’s that are regulated entities subject to prudential supervision, or with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. In addition, the Trust’s non-cash assets are maintained by the Depositary in segregated accounts. Thus in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Depositary the Trust’s non-cash assets are segregated and protected and this further reduces counterparty risk. The Trust will, however, be exposed to the credit risk of the Depositary or counterparty/Sub-Custodian used by the Depositary, in relation to the Trust's Cash at Bank held by the Depositary. In the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Depositary, the Trust will be treated as a general creditor of the Depositary in relation to cash holdings of the Trust. To mitigate these risks the Investment Adviser ensures that the Trust transacts only with Depositary’s that are regulated entities subject to prudential supervision or with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Credit Risk

The Funds will be exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty or issuer will be unable to pay amounts in full when due. Impairment provisions are provided for losses that have been incurred by the Statement of Financial Position date, if any. The carrying amount of financial assets best represents its maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date.

The Funds’ main credit risk concentrations arise from trading equity and debt securities and FDIs in addition to Cash at Bank balances held at the Depositary, Trustee and other counterparties. The Funds’ Prospectus lists various investment restrictions with regard to issuer and counterparty concentration limits.

All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery using approved brokers. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once the broker has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet their obligation.

Interest Rate Swaps may be traded bilaterally between a Fund and a counterparty or centrally cleared through a central counterparty clearing house ("CCP"). The Funds that engage in swaps trading bilaterally restrict their exposure to credit losses on the trading of derivative instruments held by entering into master netting arrangements with counterparties. Netting arrangements do not result in an offset of Statement of Financial Position assets and liabilities, as transactions are usually disclosed on a gross basis and settled on a net basis. However, the credit risk associated with favourable contracts is reduced by a netting arrangement to the extent that if an event of default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis. The Funds that engage in swaps trading through a CCP restrict their exposure to credit losses on the trading of derivative instruments held by entering into master netting arrangements with the CCP. The CCPs at the 30 September 2017 are Citigroup and HSBC.

The Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) may utilise over-the-counter and exchange traded derivatives. Derivatives traded on exchanges will usually be supported by daily margin calls and therefore not carry the same degree of counterparty risk.

The Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) may also use Futures and Options as part of its investment strategy. The Funds’ ability to use these strategies may be limited by market conditions, regulatory requirements and tax considerations.

As part of its investing in derivatives the Funds may pledge or receive collateral. This collateral can be pledged or received either in the form of cash and cash equivalents or securities. There is a risk that the value of such collateral may fall below the value of the underlying derivatives. In addition, as the Funds may invest in Cash Collateral received, subject to conditions, the Funds may be exposed to the risk associated with such investments, such as failure or default of the issuer of the relevant security.

11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will experience difficulty in either realising assets or otherwise raising sufficient funds to satisfy commitments associated with financial instruments. This arises when trading volume, lack of a market maker or legal restrictions impair the Funds’ ability to sell particular securities at an advantageous time or price.

The Funds, with the exception of Post Global Limited Term High Yield Fund and Finisterre Emerging Market Debt Fund which are exposed to weekly redemptions, are exposed to daily cash redemptions by Unitholders. Therefore, the Funds invest the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of; only a limited proportion of the assets are invested in assets not actively traded on a stock exchange. In addition, the Funds may restrict redemptions and have the ability to borrow in the short term to ensure settlement.

The Investment Adviser/Sub-Investment Adviser(s) monitors the Funds’ liquidity positions on a daily basis.

As at 30 September 2017 and 30 September 2016, all of the Funds’ financial liabilities and all of the Funds’ FDIs were due or settled within 1 month of the Statement of Financial Position date with the exception of the following;

Audit Fees Payable which will be due or settled within 3 months to 1 year of the Statement of Financial Position date. These fees payable are detailed on each individual Fund’s Statement of Financial Position as at 30 September 2017 and as at 30 September 2016.

Derivatives contracts held by some of the Funds where the maturity dates are detailed in the Portfolios of Investments.

Cybersecurity Risk

Cybersecurity breaches may occur allowing an unauthorised party to gain access to assets of the Funds, Unitholder data, or proprietary information, or may cause the Trust, the Investment Adviser, the Sub-Investment Adviser(s), the Distributor, the Administrator or the Depositary to suffer data corruption or lose operational functionality.

The Funds may be affected by intentional cybersecurity breaches which include unauthorised access to systems, networks, or devices (such as through “hacking” activity); infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes or website access or functionality. In addition, unintentional incidents can occur, such as the inadvertent release of confidential information (possibly resulting in the violation of applicable privacy laws). A cybersecurity breach could result in the loss or theft of Unitholder data or funds, the inability to access electronic systems, loss or theft of proprietary information or corporate data, physical damage to a computer or network system, or costs associated with system repairs. Such incidents could cause the Trust, the Investment Adviser, the Sub-Investment Adviser(s), the Distributor, the Administrator, the Depositary or other service providers to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs or financial loss. Consequently, Unitholders may lose some or all of their invested capital. In addition, such incidents could affect issuers in which a Fund invests and thereby cause a Fund’s investments to lose value, as a result of which investors, including the relevant Fund and its Unitholders, could potentially lose all or a portion of their investment with that issuer.

In respect of the Global Time Diversified Absolute Return Fund, Finisterre Emerging Market Debt Fund, Global Capital Structure Opportunities Fund, Global Credit Alpha Fund (Terminated 30 June 2017) and Finisterre Unconstrained Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund, an Absolute VaR Approach, based on a confidence level of 99% for a daily horizon and considering no less than one years of historical data is used to manage risk (refer to note 11 for more details on VaR). In relation to the remaining Funds, the Commitment approach is used; which entails monitoring global exposure and counterparty exposure associated with the positions.

UCITS V Remuneration Policy (UNAUDITED)

for the year ended 30 September 2017

213

UCITS V Remuneration Policy (Unaudited)

Regulation 89(3A) of the UCITS Regulations: UCITS V Remuneration Requirements; Regulation 89(3A) of the UCITS Regulations (as introduced pursuant to the UCITS V Regulations on 21 March 2016) requires that the annual report of Principal Global Investors Funds contains certain disclosures on remuneration paid by the Manager to its staff during the financial year and details of any material changes to the Manager’s remuneration policy made during the year. In this regard, the following points are to be noted:

The Manager has prepared a remuneration policy outlining how it adheres to the remuneration requirements set out in the UCITS Regulations. This policy was adopted with effect from 18 March 2016.

No annual reviews have as yet been undertaken and no material changes have been made to the remuneration policy since 18 March 2016.

Changes were subsequently made to the remuneration policy during the financial year to align it with ESMA's Guidelines on sound remuneration policies under the UCITS Directive (ESMA/2016/575) (the "Guidelines) which applied from 1 January 2017.

The first annual performance period in which the Manager has to comply with the remuneration requirements set out in the UCITS Regulations is the year ending 30 September 2017.

The Manager has no employees or staff that it employs and pays directly. The Manager has a Board of Directors, three of whom are employees of the Principal Group and receive no remuneration from the Manager. The remaining four directors, each of whom is independent, receive a fixed fee only (for the year ended 30 September 2017; €25,000 in aggregate) and do not receive variable remuneration. These fees are set at a level that reflects the qualifications and contribution required taking into account the Manager’s size, internal organisation and the nature, scope and complexity of its activities.

The gross aggregate fair value of total return swap as a proportion of the Fund’s NAV, as at the Statement of Financial Position date, is 0.23%.

The following table provides an analysis of the maturity tenor of open Securities Financing Transactions (“SFTs”) on Total Return Swaps (“TRS”) and associated collateral received/provided, as at the Statement of Financial Position date.

The above maturity tenor analysis has been based on the contractual maturity date of the relevant SFTs on TRS and, in case of non-cash collateral, the contractual maturity date of the security received/provided as collateral.

SFTs on TRS are entered into by the Fund/s under an International Swaps and Derivatives Associations, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund/s and a counterparty that governs SFTs (including TRS) entered into by the parties. All SFTs on TRS entered under an ISDA Master agreement are netted together for collateral purposes.

TRS are marked to market using valuation sources/methods and the fair value is recorded in the Statement of Financial Position as Unrealised Gain on Swap Contracts. The change in unrealised gains and losses is shown in Net gain/(loss) on investment activities in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and is not subject to any returns sharing arrangements with the Fund’s Investment Adviser or any other third parties.
