FULLERTON LUX FUNDS Directors’ Report Fullerton Lux Funds – Asia Growth & Income Equities Stock markets closed out a dismal 2018, the retreat stoked by concerns of a slowing global economy, tightening monetary policy, geopolitical tensions and an uncertain global trade environment. In particular, the trade standoff between the US and China rattled investors and weighed heavily on equities. Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve initially hiked interest rates as widely expected, citing a strong economy while also projecting further gradual increases in the target range of the Fed funds rate. Investors remained cautious even towards the end of 2018, despite a 90-day trade truce negotiated between US and China. After the fourth rate hike in December, Fed Chairman Powell did not acknowledge the possibility of a pause in rate hikes, and this further dampened sentiment. In 2019, equities finally saw a sharp V-shaped recovery in the first quarter, set in motion by the Fed’s policy shift from its previous hawkish stance and decision to be patient in further lifting borrowing costs. Trade negotiation progress between the US and China, as well as China’s policy stimulus to stabilise the Chinese economy, aided the rebound. Asian economies showed resilient fundamentals. Singapore’s 2018 GDP came in at 3.3%yoy. While the services and construction sectors slowed, this was mitigated by growth in manufacturing. In the Philippines, full year growth rose 6.2%yoy – private consumption bounced back but fixed investment and government spending slowed. In Thailand, full year growth registered 4.1%yoy, the highest since 2012, supported by stronger-than-expected private consumption and private investments. Elsewhere China’s GDP grew 6.6% in 2018, aided by consumption while contributions from investments and net exports fell. In neighbouring Korea, real GDP growth surprised to the upside in 4Q18, putting full year growth at 2.7%yoy. Turning to central bank actions, policymakers in the region were initially skewed to the hawkish side, with many delivering multiple rate cuts, before turning dovish overall in 2019. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) hiked twice in April and October, by increasing the slope of the SGD NEER policy band slightly, while keeping the width of the band and level at which it is centred unchanged. Meanwhile in India, the central bank also hiked twice in June and August by 25bps each time. Similarly, the Bank of Korea kept rates steady until it hiked by 25bps in both November and December. Elsewhere, the Bank of Thailand held its key policy rate unchanged until December, when it increased rates by 25bps as it sought to curb financial stability risks and create policy space for the next economic downturn. Indonesia and the Philippines delivered more aggressive hikes. Bank Indonesia (BI) raised the benchmark policy rate six times over the period under review, in a bid to support the exchange rate and ensure financial stability. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) hiked interest rates five times over the period under review, as it acknowledged upside risks to inflation. Against the above, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) announced multiple rounds of Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) cuts which released significant liquidity into the banking system. Some cuts were for selected banks, to repay the MLF facility, with excess liquidity largely benefitting smaller banks. In 2019, the PBOC has again cut the RRR and injected liquidity to a bid to provide a boost to China's slowing economy and prevent shortages during the tax season. The Fund underperformed its benchmark during the period. Positions in India and Taiwan were key detractors, outweighing positive contribution from China and Korea. By sector, positions in IT and financials were key sources of drag. Tech names in China, Taiwan, Korea and Singapore bore the brunt of investors’ risk-off behaviour in 2018, amid the trade standoff between the US and China, in which the IT sector has been a key area of contention. Elsewhere, Indian financials detracted as the sector sold off late in 2018 on the back of concerns about the viability of non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) in the country, Market sentiment largely remains upbeat, with investors anticipating a benign policy outlook from Asian central banks, which are largely following the Federal Reserve’s dovish pivot. Policymakers now have space to ease, which should bode well for Asian equities and interest rates. On the growth front, early signs that economies around the world are stabilising are also positive, and should a US-China trade deal be reached as expected, regional export figures may also get a boost. Downward EPS revisions appear to be slowing, with the worst of downward revisions likely to be some months away. While valuations in Asia are above their 10-year average PE, they look more reasonable when viewed on an earnings yield gap basis or relative to global equities. All things considered, we find it prudent staying focused on growth fundamentals in our bottom-up selection of Asian companies to invest in.

Bank Indonesia raised the benchmark policy rate six times over the period under review, in a bid to support the exchange rate and ensure financial stability. Adopting a similar mindset, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas hiked interest rates five times as it acknowledged upside risks to inflation. The Fund underperformed its benchmark during the period. Positions in Singapore and Indonesia were key detractors. By sector, IT names in the region were the largest laggards as they bore the brunt of investors’ risk-off behavior in 2018, amid the trade standoff between the US and China, in which the IT sector has been a key area of contention. Elsewhere, banks and real estate names in Indonesia detracted further value in 2018’s rising yield environment. Market sentiment largely remains upbeat, with investors anticipating a benign policy outlook from regional central banks, which are largely following the Federal Reserve’s dovish pivot. Policymakers now have space to ease, which should bode well for ASEAN equities and interest rates. On the growth front, early signs that economies around the world are stabilising are also positive, and should a US-China trade deal be reached as expected, regional export figures may also get a boost. Downward EPS revisions appear to be slowing, with the worst of downward revisions likely to be some months away. While regional valuations are above their 10-year average PE, they look more reasonable when viewed on an earnings yield gap basis or relative to global equities. All things considered, we find it prudent staying focused on growth fundamentals in our bottom-up selection of ASEAN companies to invest in. While structural themes we continue to favour in ASEAN include changing domestic consumption profiles, election-driven government spending, infrastructure development, financial product penetration and increasing connectivity, we also see select beneficiaries emerging in the region as a result of the Fed’s hawkish stance and the Sino-US trade stalemate. Fullerton Lux Funds – China A Equities Global stock markets closed out a dismal 2018, the retreat stoked by concerns of a slowing global economy, tightening monetary policy, geopolitical tensions and an uncertain global trade environment. In China, the trade standoff between the US and China rattled investors. Market volatility remained and investors stayed cautious despite a landmark move to include A-shares into the flagship MSCI Emerging Markets index. Towards the end of 2018, a 90-day trade truce negotiated between US and China provided little support towards sentiment. In 2019, the equity market finally saw a sharp V-shaped recovery in the first quarter, set in motion finally by trade negotiation progress between the US and China, as well as China’s policy stimulus to stabilise the Chinese economy. China's economy slowed over the period under review. The 4Q18 GDP growth registered 6.4%yoy from 6.5%yoy in Q3, although in line with consensus. For the year, China’s GDP grew 6.6%, supported by consumption while contributions from investments and net exports fell. In 2019, there were signs of stabilisation in the economy. China’s official manufacturing PMI rose to 50.5 in March from a previous 49.2. This was the biggest increase since 2012 and exceeded all estimates by economists – both new orders and new export orders rose to their highest levels in six months. At the most recent National People's Congress, the government guided its GDP growth target for 2019 to 6-6.5%. On monetary policy, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) announced multiple rounds of Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) cuts which released significant liquidity into the banking system in 2018. Some cuts were for selected banks, to repay the MLF facility, with excess liquidity largely benefitting smaller banks. The mid-year Politburo meeting largely endorsed the State Council’s signal of policy easing and said that fiscal policy should play a larger role in expanding domestic demand. The PBOC went on to state that it would maintain a prudent and neutral monetary policy to ensure sufficient market liquidity. In 2019, the PBOC again cut the RRR to provide a boost to China's slowing economy. Moreover, the PBOC pledged to promote financial market reform and improve guidance on credit policies, as well as strengthen the bond market’s role in supporting the economy. Separately, the MSCI started to include A-share in its emerging market benchmark in 2018 and we believe this marks the beginning of internationalisation of China’s equity market, similar to Korea and Taiwan markets back in 1992 and 1996. The full inclusion of A-share market over time would lead to rising foreign participation and growing institutionalisation of the market. The Fund outperformed against its benchmark over the period under review. Positive stock selection in healthcare, consumer discretionary and financials contributed the most value to performance. While positive policy responses such as VAT and social security insurance cuts will help to alleviate cost pressures for companies, markets appear to be more risk averse after the Chinese authorities took a less dovish stance following the Politburo meeting, prompting concerns that liquidity conditions would not be loosened further. We believe the strong market performance driven by re-rating might have reached a pause and the focus would be on company fundamentals going forward. Accordingly, we see more opportunities to generate portfolio returns through stock picking.

FULLERTON LUX FUNDS Directors’ Report (continued) Fullerton Lux Funds – All China Equities Global stock markets closed out a dismal 2018, the retreat stoked by concerns of a slowing global economy, tightening monetary policy, geopolitical tensions and an uncertain global trade environment. In China, the trade standoff between the US and China rattled investors. Market volatility remained and investors stayed cautious despite a landmark move to include A-shares into the flagship MSCI Emerging Markets index. Towards the end of 2018, a 90-day trade truce negotiated between US and China provided little support towards sentiment. In 2019, the equity market finally saw a sharp V-shaped recovery in the first quarter, set in motion finally by trade negotiation progress between the US and China, as well as China’s policy stimulus to stabilise the Chinese economy. China's economy slowed over the period under review. The 4Q18 GDP growth registered 6.4%yoy from 6.5%yoy in Q3, although in line with consensus. For the year, China’s GDP grew 6.6%, supported by consumption while contributions from investments and net exports fell. In 2019, there were signs of stabilisation in the economy. China’s official manufacturing PMI rose to 50.5 in March from a previous 49.2. This was the biggest increase since 2012 and exceeded all estimates by economists – both new orders and new export orders rose to their highest levels in six months. At the most recent National People's Congress, the government guided its GDP growth target for 2019 to 6-6.5%. On monetary policy, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) announced multiple rounds of Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) cuts which released significant liquidity into the banking system in 2018. Some cuts were for selected banks, to repay the MLF facility, with excess liquidity largely benefitting smaller banks. The mid-year Politburo meeting largely endorsed the State Council’s signal of policy easing and said that fiscal policy should play a larger role in expanding domestic demand. The PBOC went on to state that it would maintain a prudent and neutral monetary policy to ensure sufficient market liquidity. In 2019, the PBOC again cut the RRR to provide a boost to China's slowing economy. Moreover, the PBOC pledged to promote financial market reform and improve guidance on credit policies, as well as strengthen the bond market’s role in supporting the economy. Separately, the MSCI started to include A-share in its emerging market benchmark in 2018 and we believe this marks the beginning of internationalisation of China’s equity market, similar to Korea and Taiwan markets back in 1992 and 1996. The full inclusion of A-share market over time would lead to rising foreign participation and growing institutionalisation of the market. The Fund delivered negative returns over the period under review. Positive stock selection in communications services and industrials was outweighed by detraction from information technology and consumer staples. Tech names bore the brunt of investors’ risk-off behaviour in 2018, amid the trade standoff between the US and China, in which the IT sector has been a key area of contention. Consumer positions in China were also weak on the back of consumption slowdown concerns in China, going into 2019. Market sentiment largely remains upbeat, with investors anticipating a benign policy outlook from Asian central banks, which are mostly following the Federal Reserve’s dovish pivot. Policymakers now have space to ease, which should bode well for Asian equities and interest rates. In China, while positive policy responses such as VAT and social security insurance cuts will help to alleviate cost pressures for companies, markets appear to be more risk averse after the Chinese authorities took a less dovish stance following the Politburo meeting, prompting concerns that liquidity conditions would not be loosened further. We believe the strong market performance driven by re-rating might have reached a pause and the focus would be on company fundamentals going forward. Accordingly, we see more opportunities to generate portfolio returns through stock picking. Fullerton Lux Funds – Global Emerging Markets Equities Emerging markets (EM) closed out a dismal 2018, the retreat stoked by concerns of a slowing global economy, tightening monetary policy, geopolitical tensions and an uncertain global trade environment. In particular, the trade standoff between the US and China rattled investors and weighed heavily on equities. Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve initially hiked interest rates as widely expected, citing a strong economy while also projecting further gradual increases in the target range of the Fed funds rate. Investors remained cautious even towards the end of 2018, despite a 90-day trade truce negotiated between US and China. After the fourth rate hike in December, Fed Chairman Powell did not acknowledge the possibility of a pause in rate hikes, and this further dampened sentiment. In 2019, EM equities rebounded strongly in the first quarter, set in motion by the Fed’s policy shift from its previous hawkish stance and decision to be patient in further lifting borrowing costs. Trade negotiation progress between the US and China, as well as China’s policy stimulus to stabilise the Chinese economy, aided the rebound. In Latin America, Brazilian equities were boosted by tailwinds from potential pension reforms, following the re-election of President Jair Bolsonaro. In contrast, Mexican equities suffered a sell-off on risk aversion after President Manuel López Obrador rolled back market-friendly policies that were previously implemented. Within the EMEA region, Turkish equities suffered from slowing economic growth and rising twin deficits. Separately, the MSCI started to include A-share in its emerging market benchmark in 2018 and we believe this marks the beginning of internationalisation of China’s equity market, similar to Korea and Taiwan markets back in 1992 and 1996. The full inclusion of A-share market over time would lead to rising foreign participation and growing institutionalisation of the market. The Fund underperformed its benchmark during the period. Positions in India, Russia and Thailand were key detractors, outweighing positive contribution from positions in UAE, Hong Kong and South Africa.

FULLERTON LUX FUNDS Directors’ Report (continued) Fullerton Lux Funds – Global Emerging Markets Equities (continued) Market sentiment largely remains upbeat, with investors anticipating a benign policy outlook from major central banks, which are largely following the Federal Reserve’s dovish pivot. Policymakers now have space to ease. On the growth front, early signs that economies around the world are stabilising are also positive. Our focus remains on EM countries/regions with better fundamentals, such as China, Taiwan, ASEAN and Russia. We remain focused on companies with good earnings visibility and sustainable growth. We have reduced exposure to stocks and sectors where valuations have become stretched following a period of strong, uninterrupted performance. All things considered, we find it prudent staying focused on growth fundamentals in our bottom-up selection of emerging market companies to invest in. Fullerton Lux Funds – Asian Currency Bonds Bond markets were volatile over the 12-month period. Macro headwinds dominated much of 2018, amidst periodic flare-ups in US-China trade tensions, withdrawal of global liquidity and emerging market vulnerabilities. Negative headlines on the US-China trade dispute eventually gave way to renewed hope that the two nations could potentially arrive at a trade deal, after positive progress on US-China trade negotiations. Elsewhere, emerging markets endured significant volatility in 2018. This drew concern to the potential vulnerability of countries with weaker balance of payments to rising US rates and quantitative tightening in the developed markets. Asian local currency bond markets witnessed a sell-off in the first three quarters of 2018 amidst the risk-off tone in the markets. Despite that, Asian local currency bond markets regained its momentum in the last quarter of 2018 and ended the year on a constructive note. Asian local currency bond markets started 2019 on a strong footing, boosted by the dovish shift in central banks’ stance, positive net foreign inflows and lower US Treasury yields. On the policy front, the Chinese authorities signalled a change in policy stance to support GDP growth and job creation, amidst signs of an economic slowdown and uncertainty surrounding US-China trade tensions. Specifically, the Chinese authorities unveiled a package of targeted stimulus policies – ranging from tax cuts to special bonds for infrastructure investment – to boost domestic demand. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) also stepped up policy easing and implemented targeted Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) cuts to encourage new lending, in a bid to counteract slowing growth. Elsewhere, Bank Indonesia hiked rates in 2018 in a bid to stabilise the rupiah. Over in the Philippines, Bangko ng Sentral Pilipinas similarly raised its policy rate in an attempt to counteract rising inflation. That said, given the sharp U-turn by the Fed since the start of this year and largely benign inflation conditions, Asian central banks retain the flexibility to stay on hold or to cut rates, as in the case of the Reserve Bank of India, which lowered policy rates in the first quarter of 2019. Overall, Asian local currency bond markets, as measured by the iBoxx ALBI Index, delivered a positive return of 1.62% in USD terms and 5.81% in local currency terms over the review period. Korea and Malaysia were amongst the region’s outperformers in local currency terms. Asian credit markets similarly posted positive returns over the 12-month period, with gains driven by lower US Treasury yields as well as tighter credit spreads. For the 12 months ended 31 March 2019, the Fund marginally underperformed the benchmark in USD terms. The Fund benefitted from positive carry, while spread, currency and duration detracted from overall performance. Looking ahead, macro growth and credit indicators are likely to bottom out. We expect a moderate recovery later in the year, benefitting from China’s domestic stimulus and supportive monetary policies by the major central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve. In the US, data has stabilised and expectations of an imminent recession have largely receded. The US labour market and consumer remain healthy. Within the Asian local currency bond universe, we favour selective Asian bond markets with attractive real yields and steeper yield curves. We are also predisposed to markets with supportive monetary backdrops and leeway for further rate cuts. Within Asian currencies, we are inclined to stay tactical and nimble, keeping in mind US/China trade headwinds that could lead to periods of broad US dollar strength. Fullerton Lux Funds – Asian High Yield Bonds Bond markets were volatile over the 12-month period. Macro headwinds dominated much of 2018, amidst periodic flare-ups in US-China trade tensions, withdrawal of global liquidity and emerging market vulnerabilities. Negative headlines on the US-China trade dispute eventually gave way to renewed hope that the two nations could potentially arrive at a trade deal, after positive progress on US-China trade negotiations. Elsewhere, emerging markets endured significant volatility in 2018. This drew concern to the potential vulnerability of countries with weaker balance of payments to rising US rates and quantitative tightening in the developed markets. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) moved ahead with its fourth rate hike of 2018 in December, albeit scaling back on rate hike expectations in 2019. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield ended the year at 2.7%. 2019 started on a more positive note for risk assets. Risk assets received a fillip after Fed Chair Jerome Powell guided for no further interest rate hikes in 2019, and announced plans to put the balance sheet reduction on hold. US Treasuries rallied strongly in the wake of the Fed’s policy U-turn. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield ended the 12-month period at 2.4%, as of end March.

FULLERTON LUX FUNDS Directors’ Report (continued) Fullerton Lux Funds – Asian High Yield Bonds (continued) Asian credit markets, which endured a sell-off for three quarters of 2018, regained their footing and extended a 2018 year-end rally into the first three months of 2019. Overall, the JACI Composite Index returned 5.5% in USD terms over the 12-month period, with gains driven by lower US Treasury yields as well as tighter credit spreads. The outperformance was led by the investment grade segment, which returned 5.6% (in USD terms), while the high yield segment returned 5.4% (in USD terms). For the 12 months ending 31 March 2019, the Fund delivered positive returns, mainly due to positive coupon carry, while the Fund’s duration positioning added value. Spread effect was the main detractor, as high yield credit spreads widened. Looking ahead, macro growth and credit indicators are likely to bottom. We expect a moderate recovery later in the year, benefitting from China’s domestic stimulus and supportive monetary policies by the major central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve. In the US, data has stabilised and expectations of an imminent recession have largely receded. The US labour market and consumer remain healthy. Asian credit metrics have fundamentally improved and are in a good position to weather any potential earnings disappointment. While valuations have become less compelling compared to the start of the year, Asian credit still offers attractive yield pick-up versus US credit. The high absolute yield levels in Asian credit will also cushion investors against interest rate volatility. Fullerton Lux Funds – Asian Bonds Bond markets were volatile over the 12-month period.

For the 12 months ending 31 March 2019, the Fund performed in line with the benchmark. The Fund benefitted from positive credit selection in Indonesia and China, but this was partially offset by negative duration and currency effects. Looking ahead, macro growth and credit indicators are likely to bottom. We expect a moderate recovery later in the year, benefitting from China’s domestic stimulus and supportive monetary policies by the major central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve. In the US, data has stabilised and expectations of an imminent recession have largely receded. The US labour market and consumer remain healthy. Asian credit metrics have fundamentally improved and are in a good position to weather any potential earnings disappointment. We continue to favour selective Asian markets, such as Singapore, Hong Kong, India and Indonesia. We prefer to underweight China on supply risks as well as the Philippines and South Korea on relative valuations. Within sectors, we favour real estate, consumer and financials and have an underweight bias in sovereign, quasi-sovereign and the oil and gas sectors. Fullerton Lux Funds – RMB Bonds Bond markets were volatile over the 12-month period. Macro headwinds dominated much of 2018, amidst periodic flare-ups in US-China trade tensions, withdrawal of global liquidity and emerging market vulnerabilities. Negative headlines on the US-China trade dispute eventually gave way to renewed hope that the two nations could potentially arrive at a trade deal, after positive progress on US-China trade negotiations. 2019 started on a more positive note for risk assets after Fed Chair Jerome Powell guided for no further interest rate hikes in 2019, and announced plans to put the balance sheet reduction on hold.

FULLERTON LUX FUNDS Directors’ Report (continued) Fullerton Lux Funds – RMB Bonds (continued) With this backdrop, the relatively accommodative rates environment in China was positive for China’s CNY and CNH bond markets, over the review period. China’s bond markets were also boosted by the proposed inclusion of China’s onshore government bond and policy bank bonds into Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index effective 1 April 2019. Overall, CNY bonds, as measured by the iBoxx ALBI China Onshore Index, returned 7.9% in CNY terms over the 12-month period. CNH bonds, as measured by the iBoxx ALBI China Offshore index, returned 6.8% in CNH terms over the 12-month period. By segment, the CNH investment grade sector outperformed with a strong return of 7.2% in CNH terms, while the CNH high yield sector posted a marginally positive return of 0.44% in CNH terms. Away from the Chinese bond markets, Asian credit markets, which endured a sell-off for three quarters of 2018, regained their footing and extended a 2018 year-end rally into the first three months of 2019. Overall, the JACI Composite Index returned 5.5% in USD terms over the 12-month period, with gains driven by lower US Treasury yields as well as tighter credit spreads. The outperformance was led by the investment grade segment, which returned 5.6% in USD terms, while the high yield segment returned 5.4% in USD terms. For the 12 months ending 31 March 2019, the Fund delivered positive returns over the CNH Overnight Deposit Rate, with positive coupon carry and duration the key performance contributors, whilst spread effects added value. The Fund benefitted from tighter credit spreads in its CNH and CNY credit allocations. Currency effects detracted slightly. Looking ahead, macro growth and credit indicators are likely to bottom out. We expect moderate recovery later in the year, benefitting from China’s domestic stimulus and supportive monetary policies by the major central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve. In the US, data has stabilised and expectations of an imminent recession have largely receded. The US labour market and consumer remain healthy. On portfolio strategy, we remain cognisant of opportunities to extend duration, particularly via the CNY and CNH new issuance bond markets where technicals – specifically for the CNH market – are strong given the tight bond supply. We have taken advantage of the weakness in the onshore CNY bond market to extend duration, as expectations of further pro-growth measures from the China authorities are rising. The interest rate differential between US Treasuries and Chinese government bonds will also underpin the onshore CNY bond market. Within the Asian USD credit space, security selection is key, given the strong performance so far this year. We will look to switch from existing holdings with little upside to new issuance offering attractive pricing concession and sound credit fundamentals. Fullerton Lux Funds – Asian Short Duration Bonds Bond markets were volatile over the 12-month period. Macro headwinds dominated much of 2018, amidst periodic flare-ups in US-China trade tensions, withdrawal of global liquidity and emerging market vulnerabilities. Negative headlines on the US-China trade dispute eventually gave way to renewed hope that the two nations could potentially arrive at a trade deal, after positive progress on US-China trade negotiations. Elsewhere, emerging markets endured significant volatility in 2018. This drew concern to the potential vulnerability of countries with weaker balance of payments to rising US rates and quantitative tightening in the developed markets. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) moved ahead with its fourth rate hike of 2018 in December, albeit scaling back on rate hike expectations in 2019. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield ended the year at 2.7%. 2019 started on a more positive note for risk assets. Risk assets received a fillip after Fed Chair Jerome Powell guided for no further interest rate hikes in 2019, and announced plans to put the balance sheet reduction on hold. US Treasuries rallied strongly in the wake of the Fed’s policy U-turn. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield ended the 12-month period at 2.4%, as of end March. Asian credit markets, which endured a sell-off for three quarters of 2018, regained their footing and extended a 2018 year-end rally into the first three months of 2019.

We expect a moderate recovery later in the year, benefitting from China’s domestic stimulus and supportive monetary policies by the major central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve. In the US, data has stabilised and expectations of an imminent recession have largely receded. The US labour market and consumer remain healthy. We are broadly comfortable with the Fund’s current duration stance, at slightly under the 3-year mark. Allocation to the high yield sector remains a key theme. That said, we are taking advantage of the active new issuance market to switch out of existing holdings with little upside or tight credit spreads, into new issuance offering attractive pricing concession. At the same time, the Fund remains invested in selective Asian local currency bond markets, such as SGD denominated credit, benefitting from positive yield pick-up from hedging back to the US dollar.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above 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, 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 in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors of the Fund for the financial statements
The Board of Directors of the Fund is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors of the Fund 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 Board of Directors of the Fund is responsible for assessing the Fund's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors of the Fund either intends to liquidate the Fund or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Responsibilities of the "ROviseur d'entreprises agnio" for the audit of the financial statements
The objectives of our audit 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 audit 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 the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
• obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control;
• evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors of the Fund;
15

• conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors of the Funds use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Funds ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our audit report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Fund to cease to continue as a going concern;
• evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identity during our audit.

Summary of significant accounting policies The financial statements of the SICAV are prepared in accordance with the Luxembourg regulations for investment funds. The combined financial statements are expressed in USD. This annual report is prepared on the basis of the last unofficial technical net asset value calculated for financial statements purpose as at March 31, 2019. 2.1 Valuation of the investments The value of the assets held by each Fund is calculated as follows: a) Transferable Securities or Money Market Instruments quoted or traded on an official stock exchange or any other Regulated Market, are valued on the basis of the last known price. b) For Transferable Securities or Money Market Instruments not quoted or traded on an official stock exchange or any other Regulated Market, and for quoted or traded Transferable Securities or Money Market Instruments, but for which the last known price is not representative, valuation is based on the probable sales price estimated prudently and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the SICAV. c) Units and shares issued by UCITS or other UCIs will be valued at their last available net asset value. d) Evaluation of negotiable zero coupon debt securities The value of those instruments is based on their acquisition cost plus the prorata temporis price difference between the acquisition price and the reimbursement one. In the event of material changes in market conditions, the valuation basis of these instruments is adjusted to the new market yields.

FULLERTON LUX FUNDS Notes to the Financial Statements as at March 31, 2019 (continued) Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 2.1 Valuation of the investments (continued) e) Evaluation of negotiable debt securities with floating rate Debt securities with floating interest rate are taken into account in portfolio at their nominal value and accrued interests are booked under “Dividends and interest receivable” in the Statement of Net Assets and under “Interest on bonds” in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. The interest rates mentioned for those securities in the portfolio correspond to the floating interest rate applicable at the acquisition date of the securities. In the event of material changes in market conditions, the valuation basis of these instruments is adjusted to the new market yields. 2.2 Valuation of options and futures contracts The Funds may use options and futures contracts on currencies, securities, other indices, volatility, inflation and interest rates for hedging and/or investment purposes. The liquidating value of options and futures traded on exchanges or on other regulated markets shall be based upon the last available settlement prices of these contracts on exchanges and regulated markets on which the particular contracts are traded by the SICAV; provided that if such settlement prices are not available, the basis for determining the liquidating value of such contracts shall be such valued as the Directors may deem fair and reasonable. Resulting realised and change in unrealised gains or losses are included in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. 2.3 Valuation of forward foreign exchange contracts The forward foreign exchange contracts opened at the year-end are valued at the forward exchange rate corresponding to the termination date of the contract. Resulting realised and change in unrealised gains or losses are included in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. 2.4 Net realised gain or loss on sales of investments Realised gains or losses on sales of investments are calculated on the basis of the average cost of the investments sold. Redemptions from target investments funds are recorded when the net asset value applied to the redemptions is known. Consequently the recording date of the transaction (and the related realised gain or loss) may be different from the date of the redemption request. 2.5 Foreign currencies translation The accounting records and the financial statements of each Fund are expressed in USD. Bank accounts, other net assets and market value of the investments in securities expressed in currencies other than USD are converted into USD at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the balance sheet. Income and expenses in currencies other than USD are converted into USD at the rate of exchange prevailing at transaction date. The resulting gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. 2.6 Valuation of swaps contracts The valuation of swaps and interest rate swaps transactions is based on counterparties’ prices. Resulting realised and change in unrealised gains or losses are included in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. For the year ended March 31, 2019, the SICAV has no contracted swaps contracts. 2.7 Cost of investments Cost of investments in currencies other than USD are converted into USD at the exchange rate applicable at purchase date. 2.8 Income Dividends are taken into income on the date upon which the relevant securities are first listed as “ex-dividend”. Interest is booked on an accrual basis. 2.9 Formation expenses All expenses incurred in the formation of a Fund shall be paid by that Fund and amortised over a period not exceeding five (5) years. 2.10 Combined statements for the various Funds The combined financial statements of Fullerton Lux Funds are expressed in US Dollar (USD) by converting the financial statements of the Funds denominated in currencies other than US Dollar (USD) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the year.

Performance fees For the management of the Fund, Fullerton Lux Funds - Asia Absolute Alpha (only Class I (USD) Accumulation) and Fullerton Lux Funds - All China Equities, the Investment Manager is entitled to receive a performance fee in relation to each Share Class on a Share-by-Share basis as detailed below. Detailed information on the performance fee is available at the Registered Office of the Administrator. Calculation method: The performance fee is chargeable only when the GAV per Share exceeds the Hurdle Adjusted High Water Mark. The amount of the performance fee chargeable is 15% of the amount by which the Gross Net Asset Value (GAV) per Share exceeds the Hurdle Adjusted High Water Mark on each Valuation Day during the relevant Performance Period, multiplied by the number of Shares in issue on the relevant Valuation Day. There is no maximum cap to the amount of performance fee that may be charged. Performance fee accrual: The performance fee is accrued in respect of each Share on each Valuation Day to the extent that the Gross Net Asset Value (GAV) per Share, exceeds the Hurdle Adjusted High Watermark. If, on a Valuation Day, the GAV per Share is less than or equal to the Hurdle Adjusted High Watermark, all previous performance fee accruals is reversed to the Fund. No further performance fee is accrued until the GAV per Share exceeds the Hurdle Adjusted Watermark on a Valuation Day. Calculation method: The performance fee (if any) accrued at the end of each Performance Period is payable in arrears to the Investment Manager within 30 calendar days following the end of the relevant Performance Period. For Shares redeemed or switched before the end of the relevant Performance Period, the performance fee (if any) accrued in respect of said Shares are crystallised and paid within 30 calendar days following the Deadline Day on which the redemption or switch has executed. Equalisation/contingent redemptions: The performance fee is calculated on a Share-by-Share basis so that each Share is charged a performance fee which equates precisely with that Share’s performance. This method of calculation is intended to ensure as far as possible that (i) any performance fee paid to the Investment Manager is charged only to those Shares which have appreciated in value in excess of the Hurdle Adjusted High Water Mark applied to those Shares, (ii) all Shareholders have the same amount per Share at risk in the Fund, and (iii) all Shares have the same Net Asset Value per Share. Note 7. Management Company fees Lemanik Asset Management S.A. has been appointed as Management Company of the SICAV. The Management Company is entitled to receive a fee 0.02% of the average net asset value of the relevant Fund, subject to a minimum monthly fee of EUR 750.00 per Fund per month applied at the SICAV level. The list of the funds managed by the Management Company may be obtained, on simple request, at the registered office of the Management Company.

FULLERTON LUX FUNDS Notes to the Financial Statements as at March 31, 2019 (continued) Note 8. Taxe d'abonnement The SICAV is subject to the “Taxe d'abonnement” at a rate of 0.05% per annum (reduced to 0.01% on Classes comprising only institutional investors) based on the Net Asset Value of the Fund at the end of the relevant quarter, calculated and paid quarterly. The tax is not applicable for the portion of the assets invested in other Luxembourg undertakings for collective investment already subject to the “Taxe d'abonnement”. Note 9. Changes in portfolio A copy of the changes in the securities portfolio during the year under review is available, free of charge, at the registered office of the SICAV. Note 10. Other expenses As at March 31, 2019, the caption “Other expenses” includes mainly transfer agent fees, regulatory fees, VAT, translation fees, registration fees and director fees. Note 11. Professional fees As at March 31, 2019, the caption “Professional fees” includes audit and lawyer fees. Note 12. Swing Pricing The Funds are single priced and may suffer a reduction in value as a result of the transaction costs incurred in the purchase and sale of its underlying investments and the spread between the buying and selling prices of such investments caused by subscriptions, switches and/or redemptions in and out of a Fund. This is known as “dilution”. In order to counter this and to protect Shareholders’ interests, the Company apply a technique known as swing pricing or dilution adjustment as part of its valuation policy. This means that in certain circumstances the Company makes adjustments in the calculations of the Net Asset Values per Share, to counter the impact of dealing and other costs on occasions when these are deemed to be significant. The need to make a dilution adjustment depends upon the net value of subscriptions, switches and redemptions received by a Fund on each Dealing Day. The Company therefore reserves the right to make a dilution adjustment where a Fund experiences a net cash movement which exceeds a threshold of the previous Dealing Day’s Net Asset Value. The Company adopted the Swing Pricing Policy of Fullerton Fund Management Company Ltd, the Investment Manager of the Company’s Funds and apply the same to the Company’s Funds. For the year ended March 31, 2019, no Swing Pricing was applied. Note 13. Forward foreign exchange contracts As at March 31, 2019, the following Funds held forward foreign exchange contracts.

FULLERTON LUX FUNDS Supplementary Information (unaudited) Remuneration policies and practices The Management Company has established and applies a remuneration policy and practices that are consistent with, and promote, sound and effective risk management and that neither encourage risk taking which is inconsistent with the risk profiles, rules, the Prospectus or the Articles nor impair compliance with the Management Company’s obligation to act in the best interest of the SICAV (the Remuneration Policy). The Remuneration Policy includes fixed and variable components of salaries and applies to those categories of staff, including senior management, risk takers, control functions and any employee receiving total remuneration that falls within the remuneration bracket of senior management and risk takers whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profiles of the Management Company, the SICAV or the Funds. Within the Management Company, these categories of staff represent 22 persons. The Remuneration Policy is in line with the business strategy, objectives, values and interests of the Management Company, the SICAV and the Shareholders and includes measures to avoid conflicts of interest. In particular, the Remuneration Policy will ensure that:
a) the staff engaged in control functions are compensated in accordance with the achievement of the objectives linked to their functions, independently of the performance of the business areas that they control;
b) the fixed and variable components of total remuneration are appropriately balanced and the fixed component represents a sufficiently high proportion of the total remuneration to allow the operation of a fully flexible policy on variable remuneration components, including the possibility to pay no variable remuneration component;
c) the measurement of performance used to calculate variable remuneration components or pools of variable remuneration components includes a comprehensive adjustment mechanism to integrate all relevant types of current and future risks.
The following table shows the fixed and variable remuneration in 2018 for the Identified Staff (22 persons), who is fully or partly involved in the activities of all the funds managed by the Management Company. For the purposes of the below disclosures, where portfolio management activities have been formally delegated to another entity, the remuneration of the relevant identified staff of the delegate has been excluded, as it is not paid out by the Management Company or by the SICAV.

FULLERTON LUX FUNDS Supplementary Information (unaudited) (continued) Remuneration policies and practices (continued) Remuneration policy of the Investment Manager The compensation structure of the Investment Manager is composed by a Fixed and a Variable remuneration, plus other benefits. Regarding the variable remuneration of the investment team, they are formally assessed and evaluated with reference to their portfolios performance and the quality and consistency of the investment recommendations (for the Analysts). The performance of the Portfolio Manager is assessed based on the following criteria: Sharpe ratio, gross performance, Information ratio, down capture, up capture, spread capture and Alpha. All of them combined with specific weighs produces a global score. That score is used by the Head of Area, the CIO and the CEO to define the bonus. The performance of the analyst team is based on two criteria: the number and quality of recommendations, and the number and quality of new models presented at the Investment Committee. There are no deferred bonuses, all the bonus are paid yearly. This is the common practice in the Andean Region, so deferring payments could have a big impact in the position of the SICAV regarding attracting and retaining talent. For 2018, the SICAV’s Assets under Management (“AuM”) represents 11.1% of the total AuM managed by the Investment Manager. The Latam Equity team manages 50.9% of its AuM in the SICAV’s funds. Regarding the Latam Credit team, just 16.5% of its AuM corresponds to the SICAV. At December 31, 2018, the team involved in the management of the SICAV includes directly 19 Investment professionals (who spends, according to the managed AuM, 50.9% of the Latam Equity team and 16.5% of the Latam Credit team), and indirectly part of the time of other 28 staff (11.1% according to the total AuM managed by the Investment Manager). The total compensation of all this team (50.9% of the Latam Equity team, 16.5% of the Latam Credit team and 11.1% or the other staff), was in 2018 CLP 878.2 million (EUR 1.10 million). The Fixed part represented 56.3% and the Variable 43.7%.
