INFORMATION TO THE SHAREHOLDERS All information concerning the SICAV is published in newspapers designated by the Board of Directors and, if required by law, in the Memorial, the official gazette of Luxembourg, and deposited with the Registrar of the Luxembourg District Court. The marketing of the SICAV may give rise to the remuneration of distributors as stated in the prospectus. These distributors are entities of the Edmond de Rothschild Group, like for example Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management (France) which consequently receives up to 50% of Management and distribution fees and 20% of performance/outperformance fees.
The articles of incorporation have been deposited with the Registrar of the Luxembourg District Court, where they are available for inspection and where copies may be obtained.
The issue and redemption prices of shares of each Sub-Fund are made public at the registered office of the SICAV, where the annual and semi-annual reports may be obtained.
Investors residing in Germany can receive free of charge from the German Payments and Information Office the prospectus, the articles of association of the investment company and the most recent report on activities and,
insofar as subsequently published, also the latest semi-annual report, as well as requesting the net asset value per share, the current issue, exchange and redemption prices of the shares and all other financial information about the SICAV which is available to the shareholders from the registered office of the investment company.
The issue and redemption prices of the shares of each Sub-Fund as well as other communications to the shareholders are published in the “Bundesanzeiger”.
Subscriptions cannot be received on the basis of this financial report. Subscriptions are valid only if made on the basis of the current prospectus, supplemented by the latest annual report and the most recent semi-annual report if published thereafter.
The Management Company draws the attention of investors to the fact that before subscribing to any Shares, investors may consult the key investor information document (“KIID”) for the Share Classes, available from the website www.edmond-de-rothschild.com. A paper copy of the key investor information may also be obtained free of charge from the registered office of the Management Company, the Global Distributor or from intermediaries who are part of the distribution network.
NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE For all the QUAM Sub-Funds and the Sub-Fund EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND - RETURN PLUS, the net asset value of the shares is calculated on each business day in Luxembourg.
For the Sub-Fund EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND - CHINA, the net asset value of the shares is calculated on each day on which banks are generally open for business in Luxembourg and in France and any other day on which the French and the Chinese financial markets are open (official calendar of EURONEXT PARIS S.A. and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange) is a Valuation Day.
For the Sub-Fund EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND - GLOBAL DATA and , EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND - US VALUE & YIELD the net asset value of the shares is calculated on each day on which banks are generally open for business in Luxembourg, in France and any other day on which the French and the American financial markets are open (official calendar of NYSE and EURONEXT PARIS S.A.) is a Valuation Day.
For the Sub-Fund EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND - GLOBAL CONVERTIBLES and , EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND - GLOVAL CONVEXITY the net asset value of the shares is calculated on each day on which banks are generally open for business in Luxembourg, the United States and in France and any
other day on which the French and the American financial markets are open (official calendar of NYSE and EURONEXT PARIS S.A.) is a Valuation Day.
For all other Sub-Funds the net asset value of the shares is calculated on each day on which banks are generally open for business in Luxembourg and in France and any other day on which the French financial markets are open (official calendar of EURONEXT PARIS S.A.) is a Valuation Day.
For all Sub-Funds the Net Asset Value: - is not calculated on Good Friday or December 24
(Christmas Eve) - is calculated and published on the first Business Day
following the relevant Valuation Day (the “NAV calculation day”).
If the September 30 and/or the March 31 are not bank working days in Luxembourg, then, for the purpose of the SICAV financial reporting and statements, a net asset value per share will be calculated for each Sub-Fund as at these dates, provided that such net asset value will not be used for the purposes of subscription, redemption and conversion.

RISK MANAGEMENT The method used for the determination of the global exposure is the commitment approach for all sub-funds except for the Emerging Bonds sub-fund for which the absolute VAR approach is applied. The sub-fund VaR may not exceed 20% of the sub-fund net asset value as defined by the law and in the prospectus. The calculation method for the leverage is the sum of the (risk adjusted) notional of all the derivatives, including the derivatives used for hedging purposes, until the March 31, 2016. The Prospectus dated March 2016 disclosed the level of expected leverage that is the following: - Emerging Bonds:
• Sum of the notional: 500% of the net asset value of the sub-fund
However, under certain circumstances the level of leverage might exceed the aforementioned level.

INFORMATION TO THE SHAREHOLDERS IN SWITZERLAND (Unaudited)
EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD (SUISSE) S.A., Geneva, was authorised by the Swiss Federal Banking Commission as Swiss representative of the SICAV and acts also as paying agent for the Sub-Funds registered by the FINMA until September 30, 2015. As from October 1, 2015 EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD ASSET MANAGEMENT (SUISSE) S.A. was authorized by the Swiss Federal Bank Commission as Swiss
representative of the SICAV for the Sub-Funds registered by the FINMA.
The prospectus, the simplified prospectus, the Key Investors Information Document (KIID), the articles of incorporation, the annual and semi-annual reports of the SICAV, as well as the list of the purchases and sales which the SICAV has undertaken during the period, may be obtained, on simple request and free of charge, at the head office of the Swiss representative.
INFORMATION TO THE INVESTORS IN SWITZERLAND (Unaudited) The Total Expense Ratio (TER) as at March 31, 2016 for each Sub-Fund is calculated in accordance with the recommendations of the S.F.A.M.A., approved by the FINMA and is included under the statistical information of each Sub-Fund. TER (Total Expense Ratio) The Total Expense Ratio (TER) represents the ratio of the total expenses, except transactions fees, annually supported by the Fund for each Sub-Fund. The TER should be calculated as follow: TER = Total charges of the Sub-Fund’s/Average net asset value of the Sub-Fund Average net asset value of the Sub-Fund = Amount of net assets over the year / Observation’s number. If a collective investment scheme invests at least 10% of its net assets as a fund of funds in other collective investment schemes (target funds) which publish a TER within the meaning of the present guidelines, a composite (synthetic) TER of the fund of funds is to be calculated as of the closing date of the financial year or the end of the first half of the financial year. This corresponds to the sum of: - the prorated TER of the individual target funds, weighted
on the basis of their proportion in the net assets of the fund of funds as of the closing date,
- the issue and redemption commissions of the target funds actually paid, and
- the TER of the fund of funds minus the reimbursements received from the target funds during the reporting period.
If any of the target funds does not publish a TER pursuant to the present guidelines, the following procedure must be followed when disclosing the costs incurred by the fund of funds: - Reference must be made to the fact that no composite
(synthetic) TER can be determined for the respective portion of the fund of funds.
- A composite (synthetic) value must be indicated for the overall costs that the fund of funds is expected to incur. To this end o a truncated (synthetic) TER is calculated which –
weighted on the basis of the fund of fund’s investment proportion – includes the TERs of all target funds for which the TER is determined as per the present guidelines (i.e. target funds with TER), and
o to this are added for each of the other target funds (i.e. target funds without TER) the issue and redemption commissions plus as precise as possible an estimate of the upper limit of the costs relevant for the TER. This value – weighted on the basis of the target funds’ weighting in the fund of fund – must include the maximum management fee and the most recent performance-related management fee available for this target fund.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Euro Government Bonds Mid Term Due to interest of economic efficiency in the management of the Sub-Funds, the Company’s board of directors has decided to merge the sub-fund Euro Government Bonds Mid Term (the Merging Sub-Fund) and Euro Long Duration Govt Bonds (the Receiving Sub-Fund).
The Merger took place on 16 December 2015 (the Effective Date) on the basis of the net asset values of the respective Sub-Funds dated 15 December 2015 and determined on 16 December 2015.
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Euro Long Duration Govt Bonds In the eurozone, the persistent weakness of inflation throughout the year continued to bolster expectations of action by the ECB and led it to act, while the fall in inflation intensified due in particular to a drop in oil prices. Following the previous programmes for ABS and covered bonds, the sovereign bond purchase programme, amounting to monthly purchases of €60 billion, brought rates for European government bonds to their lowest levels since the programme was first implemented in March 2015. In September, the ECB toughened its stance by declaring itself ready to focus on unconventional measures if necessary, supporting this stance by deciding to increase its maximum holding in a security from 25% to 33%. In December, the ECB extended the end date for its monthly purchases to March 2017 and reduced the deposit rate by a further 10bp to -0.3%, while maintaining the refinancing rate at 0.05%. These measures were deemed disappointing after the expectations created by Mario Draghi’s previous statements. In March, the ECB extended its quantitative easing measures by increasing its monthly purchases from €60 billion to €80 billion and expanding the programme to cover corporate bonds. The central bank also lowered its key interest rates by 10 bps on its deposit rate and by 5 bps on its refinancing rate, taking them to -40 bps and 0%, respectively. It also announced a new long-term refinancing programme for banks at more attractive rates. After taking the international climate into account and with the poor outlook for inflation in mind, the Fed maintained the status quo in September before eventually raising its rates by 25 bps in December. The same reasoning resulted in its remaining cautious and not intervening at the end of the financial year. On the political front, despite the election of the radical left sparking a fresh round of fraught negotiations and a referendum that rejected the measures imposed on Greece in exchange for European assistance, the reaction on peripheral rates excluding Greece, which were protected by the measures in place, remained moderate. A compromise was eventually found and new elections in September enabled the formation of a parliamentary majority in favour of the European plan as Syriza’s victory saw it stripped of its anti-troika wing. By the end of the year, the removal of these key uncertainties enabled Greek rates to post performances markedly above those seen by other eurozone countries. In Spain, regional elections, the debate on independence in Catalonia and the split in Spanish public opinion between four parties during the legislative elections at the end of the year, notably with the breakthrough of the Podemos party, all made the formation of a new government an impossible task. In Portugal, elections led to the formation of a coalition, hitherto unseen in the country, between the centre-left and the parties on the radical left. These events dampened the performance of rates for the Iberian Peninsula, with both peripheral rates and central European rates underperforming over the year. Conversely, the absence of political elections as well as ongoing reforms, particularly to Italy’s labour market, bolstered Slovenian and Italian rates to outperform eurozone rates on rates below 10 years. Nevertheless, all European rates in excess of 15 years saw the rates widen, with the curve steepening: German rates narrowed by 25, 28 and 21 bps and widened by 22 bps on 2-year, 5-year, 10-year and 30-year maturities compared with a narrowing of 31, 40 and 21 bps and a rise of 26 bps on Italian rates. With the exception of 2-year rates, US rates outperformed European rates, narrowing by 11, 32 and 30 bps on 2-year, 5-year and 10-year maturities while rates on 30-year issues increased by 6 bps.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Euro Long Duration Govt Bonds (continued) Throughout the year, Long Duration overweighted peripheral interest rate investments and underweighted investments in core rates, favouring Italy over Spain. The Fund began the financial year with its duration aligned with that of the index, with European rates hitting a low in mid-April before bouncing back sharply in June. The Fund therefore took profits on Slovakian and covered bonds and fared better during this period of rising rates, favouring the most sensitive issuers with the greatest liquidity. The Fund increased its exposure to short rates at the end of May and then strengthened its exposure to European maturities while boosting its sell-side exposure to US maturities. This was before a summer period marked by technical flows favourable to the European rate markets. In the second half of the year, the Fund made shifts into agencies and local authorities, particularly French and German, took profits on its Irish exposure in advance of the risks associated with Brexit, and profits on Spain when the ECB took action in March and before the Spanish legislative elections. Profits over the duration were made at the end of the financial year, at a level below that of the index. Between 31/03/2015 and 31/03/2016, I and A units of EdR Fund Long Duration achieved performances of -2.42% and -2.90%, respectively compared with -1.34% for the index, Barclays Euro Treasury AAA-AA +10 years. Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Convertible Europe All Caps In March, Deutsche Post’s poor earnings were a boon to us. The stock has declined over 4% during over the month and we remained significantly under-exposed as we reckon it was fully valued. Outokumpu has continued its rodeo, at the moment it is by far the most successful issue in Europe. With the imposition of customs tariffs on stainless steel imports from China and Taiwan, the Finnish company has regained its highly competitive edge and accelerated its deleveraging. The new face at the head of Indra’s management team was roundly welcomed by the market. This new CEO is a credible asset with which to open a new page. The next earnings reports will be posted in May and the company will release a new development plan in June. We will be looking closely at how management maximises its free cash-flow and working capital, which is very expensive at the moment. This time our German real estate underweighting has paid off (Deutsche Wohnen). The convertible bonds are no longer convex, and they’re too risky for us. Siemens has warned that the drop in oil prices will have a negative impact on its business. Our positions cost us 13 bps. Meanwhile, we are not changing our defensive stance. Our sensitivity is leveling out at around 30% while the index touched 45% at the beginning of April. We believe that the equity market has climbed too quickly. Accordingly, we have not hesitated to take our profits on convertible bonds with convexity that no longer looks attractive, such as Aabar Daimler and STMicroelectronics. Also, we significantly reduced our options positions, taking the profits on our bank exposure (Société Générale, Calyon, BNP) and on Kering plus Faurecia.. All our bond exposure on Quick has been sold, and we have taken part in the new bond issues for Faurecia, ACS and Prysmian. The new issues launched by Telecom Italia and Aabar UniCredit proved disappointing. We are waiting for a more promising opportunity to position ourselves more aggressively. Summer coming, investors began cashing-in their profits after an acceleration in stock market gains towards the month’s end. With the corporate reporting season reaching its end, talks with Greece dragging on laboriously, interest rates set to rise in the United States, and upcoming elections in the United Kingdom — investors were confronting events that bring volatility and undermine confidence. Meanwhile, we maintained our defensive bias. It is still our belief that the equity market has risen too far and too quickly, given the ongoing uncertainties impacting growth in the euro zone, in particular. We have nevertheless continued to take our profits on positions such as Indra Sistemas, St Modwen and Deutsche Post. Also, we took advantage of the announcement of a merger between Nokia and Alcatel to build a position by buying call options on Nokia stock, which should benefit considerably. Meanwhile, we seized on a dip in Outukumpu stock, in the wake of its profits warning, to strengthen our position. We reckon the progress mentioned by its management will show through in the second half of the year. The macroeconomic environment in Europe is improving. Confidence indicators are climbing once again, particularly in countries like Spain and Italy. Inflation forecasts, which are also climbing gradually, show deflationary risk to be receding. Could the ECB’s Quantitative Easing programme already be having an impact? The equity market has continued to climb. But the credit market, meanwhile, has shown no sign of excitement even though long-term rates in Germany and France have recovered significantly. Everything suggests that lasting economic growth could return to Europe. We agree with this scenario, despite dark clouds on the horizon — with Greece as the main risk. At any rate, we have taken advantage of the equity market weakness to increase fund sensitivity to equities by investing in names such as Allianz, Generali, Saint-Gobain, Philips, Intesa, Repsol, Iberdrola and Deutsche Post. Meanwhile, we have sold our Capgemini options as we reckon the stock reached its target price on the news that it intended to buy Igate. Nokia has been strengthened given the positive outlook we have on its merger with Alcatel. The profile offered by new convertible bonds issues such Haniel Metro and Telecom Italia has not aroused great interest. However, we reckon their underlying assets offer timely exposure to the European market, which is why we bought them in the form of options. Also, we have steered clear of taking excessive bond duration risk. The positions in
EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Convertible Europe All Caps (continued) Indra and Outukumpu were strengthened on showing some weakness. On the primary market, we took part in Ablynx (biopharmaceuticals) and Europcar’s new issue. Although our equity exposure has been increased, we remain conservative after what might have been too rapid a climb on the equity market. So we are still waiting for a better opportunity to reposition more strongly on these markets. The Greek situation dominated July with the ‘No’ campaign’s victory in the referendum on July 5, and volatility tracking negotiations with the country’s creditors. The final accord on the bailout package and its approval by parliament in Athens has freed investors to refocus on central bank monetary policy and China’s stock melt-down. Greek risk nevertheless remains high because Germany’s parliament may not support the bailout without the IMF, which has been reluctant to join the bailout. Looking at European corporate fundamentals, solid second quarter earnings reports have confirmed the improved business outlook. On the macroeconomic front, Germany’s IFO index turned out better than expected and Spain’s GDP posted its largest quarterly hike since 2007. In the second half of July, we started gradually reducing equity sensitivity by selling convertibles on CA/Eurazeo, STM and GBL, which have become too pricey. The options positions on DPW, Axa, Banca Intesa and Generali were also pruned following a rebound in their underlying securities. What’s more, we cashed in some of our profits on Sainsbury, Iberdrola and Novafives. Our strategy on Telecom Italia has been changed so that we are now positioned short on call options to take advantage of the momentum potential. On the primary market we took part in the Steinhoff, Beni Stabili and Verallia issues. We also bought cover to limit volatility against tail risk on Greece and China. Given a potential spike in volatility around August 20, the next key date for the Greek accord, we are adopting a more defensive strategy. We expect the primary market to lose some momentum over the summer, with a rebound in early autumn if the news-flow is positive. On the equity markets, August was particularly agitated. An unexpected devaluation of the yuan led to new fears of a slowdown in China, taking place the day after the disappointing statistics were published. Markets remained under pressure with a strong swing to risk-off towards the month end, with uncertainty over world growth and the ongoing correction of commodity prices leading to a massive sell-off across the asset class spectrum. The Chinese authorities’ intervention and the publication of positive economic numbers in Europe and the United States helped mitigate investor sentiment, but were not sufficient to fully restore confidence. Since February, we have gradually reduced equity sensitivity, at a cost to performance in March-April. However, this conservative approach together with the provision of cover enabled the portfolio to weather the storm in August. We sold our position on Folli Follie, so we no longer have any exposure to Greece. Our options strategy on Nokia, Telecom and VW were changed by selecting more attractively profiled calls. We have kept a wary eye on Ingenico’s M&A moves given in a possible increase in leveraging if it makes a major acquisition, recalling that we did not take part in June’s convertible issue. We are positive on European equity markets, given their strong fundamentals. However, we have remained underexposed to the market, with our equity sensitivity at 23.27% against the benchmark’s 32.97%. We have remained conservative given the uncertainty linked to Chinese growth, the timing of the Federal Reserve’s rate hike and the unstable political situation in Greece. And we cannot rule out further correction in the months ahead. Markets remained very agitated in September, penalised by the Federal Reserve’s decision to delay a rate hike in the United States. This option was chosen amid concerns about inflation levels, global growth and the recent hike in volatility due to China’s devaluation of its currency, and the uncertainty created on emerging markets. Given this climate, European stocks lost more than 5% over the month and credit spreads widened. Convertible bonds have continued to post a positive performance since the beginning of the year, despite our benchmark dipping -26 bps in September. New issues have become rare on the European market, with just $1.6 billion issued in September (against $4.4 billion the previous September). Valuations are still holding up, in contrast to the significant drop in the emerging regions. We took advantage of September’s market correction to adjust portfolio sensitivity while remaining underweighted against the benchmark. We strengthened our options positions on Adidas, Metro, Kering, Iberdrola, Telecom Italia and Crédit Agricole. The position on Alcatel was sold to take advantage of the option before the deal with Nokia closed. Meanwhile, we switched from Nexans 2016 to Nexans in 2019 in order to monetise the option. Cash from new subscriptions has been used to strengthen the positions on Rag-Stiftung, Salzgitter, Steinhoff, Unibail-Rodamco, Capegemini, Telenet Finance, Ageas, Amorim, Indra and CNP Assurances. We remain positive on the European market, given the stabilisation seen in business surveys and the ECB’s accommodating discourse. However, faced with the uncertain outlook for global growth, as well as the timing of the Fed’s rate hike, we are maintaining our defensive positioning to hedge against market volatility and take advantage of any potential new entry points.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Convertible Europe All Caps (continued) October offered more visibility on central bank monetary policy. The ECB maintained its highly accommodating tone, and US Federal Reserve chair, Janet Yellen, meanwhile, showed more confidence in the domestic economy, which makes a rate hike this year more likely. This clarification and easing concerns about emerging economies allowed both equity markets (+7.3%) and credit markets (-20 bps for investment grade, -78 bps for high yields) to rebound in October. To limit our portfolio volatility we remained under-exposed to the equity markets, which explains why we underperformed the benchmark. We took part in the BIM/Elior exchangeable issue on the primary market. Meanwhile, selected positions were strengthened to maximise the portfolio’s carry including CNP Assurances, Sainsbury’s, Telenet Finance, Orpea, Pierre & Vacances, Acciona, Nexity, La Caixa, Horizon Holdings and Sogefi. The position in Sonae Investments was also strengthened ahead its quarterly results. A new position was initiated in Rallye/Casino (after publication of Casino’s positive earnings) and in Wereldhave (to benefit from the European real estate rebound). On the other hand, we took advantage of the residual option value of the Alcatel convertible bonds to liquidate the position. The Siemens 2017 convertibles (with implied volatility at 31 points), which we considered expensive, were exited to invest in an equivalent 2017 option with implied volatility at 21.5 points. In addition, we cashed in some of our profits on Kering and Adidas, reducing their respective options positions. We have kept our investment approach conservative. And, in order to control portfolio volatility, we have remained equity under-exposed and ready to protect the portfolio with hedging. It was the monetary policy of major central banks that once again focused the minds of investors in November. The ECB expressed concerns about the level of inflation in the euro zone, with markets now anticipating a cut in the deposit rate and a possible extension of the quantitative easing programme. We also noted the publication of reassuring numbers in Europe, with PMI manufacturing and services showing growth, and the IFO index in Germany improving significantly. The US Federal Reserve could well raise its key rate in December. The primary market for convertible bonds has finally reopened after months of lack-lustre activity. During November, we took part in new issues for IAG, Iren/Torino, Vodafone, Brenntag and Iberdrola (instead of calls on the latter). We strengthened the calls on ING, and synthesized the Accor convertible. Given our confidence in the Nokia / Alcatel merger, we re-struck our options position on Nokia upwards, enabling us to cash in the profits while maintaining exposure to the group. We also switched the exercise price on our Allianz calls. What’s more, we bought Telecom Italia calls with strike at 1.25, by selling those with strike at 1.2 to monetise the volatility. On the other hand, we reduced our options positions on UCB, Kering and Metro. Instead, we have remained positive on equity markets in Europe and the United States, while maintaining a conservative approach. It is likely that a new wave of primary issues will follow if the market confirms its positive trend. Equity markets closed on a negative note at the end of 2015, while convertible bonds continued to perform as expected, cushioning this decline well. Over the year, European convertibles managed to capture all of the stock market’s upside, with much less volatility. This performance was due to a number of M&A deals in the real estate sector such as Deutsche Wohnen and Leg Immobilien. There was also a buying frenzy around the Telecom Italia 2022 convertible (which reached €2 billion on issue) in the wake of merger rumours with Vivendi or Orange, and of Iliad founder, Xavier Niel, buying into the capital. Short supply on the primary market and redemptions also explain the convertible bond market’s solid performance, which led investors to rely on existing financial instruments. We took the profits on our Beni Stabili 2019 to invest in its 2021 convertible, offering a more varied profile. Some of our profits on the Orpea convertible were also cashed in, as it had become too sensitive to the underlying security. Earlier this month we strengthened our position on the Rallye Casino exchangeable. We reckon that the yield levels it has reached have made it a buy opportunity once again. Also, we think 2016 will prove positive for European stock markets, especially in the euro zone, where companies should benefit from the euro’s decline and falling commodity prices. Accordingly, we have unwound all our equity market cover. Given this climate, the consumption, investment and credit pumped into the economy are expected to remain high. The primary market slumped sharply in the second half of the year and is likely to show more vigor next year. Global stock markets opened 2016 down sharply amid an oil price collapse and fears of a global slowdown in growth. The market for equity and credit accordingly closed January 2016 in the red. Only government bond rates tightened in a global wave of flight-to-quality. ECB chief Mario Draghi announced that the Bank might well take new measures to inject more liquidity into the economy. He said the ECB had the power, the desire and the determination to act, and that there was no limit on this. Looking at the US Federal Reserve, the market now believes there will only be one rate hike in 2016. In Japan, a debate was launched on the likelihood of new monetary-easing measures being introduced. Our conservative bias in 2015 enabled us to seize investment opportunities and get further into the black on the equity markets. We raised our equity sensitivity through call options on Philips, Deutsche Post, Telecom Italia, Metro, Ferrovial, ING, Generali, Nokia, STMicroelectronics, Crédit Agricole and Kering. In the convertibles compartment we continued to invest in Basilea, a Swiss biopharmaceutical that we reckon could become a tempting target. Meanwhile, we reduced Acciona and Orpea which had
EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Convertible Europe All Caps (continued) become too equity sensitive. Among the convertible instruments we found attractive, we have continued to strengthen BIM Elior, Vodafone, Brenntag, Rallye Casino and Brait. In the real estate compartment we arbitraged convertibles on British Land and Beni Stabili. We took part in Safran’s new issue since we are confident in the underlying equity. Then, at the month end we sold both IAG convertibles, which were showing too high a premium. Given that we reckon the equity market could rebound over the short term, we raised our equity exposure. February was mixed, with high volatility and two distinct market phases: (1) First, a negative trend until February 11, marked by a risk-off wave and a flight-to-quality phenomenon that was positive for so-called ‘safe haven’ stocks such as US and German government bonds, as well as gold. The main reason given was concern over banking stocks, which have reached levels close to those seen in the 2012 crisis. (2) The second fortnight saw a strong rebound by risky assets. This turnaround was based on renewed support from the PBoC’s governor for China’s economy and currency; a possible move towards an oil production cap by Opec countries; accommodating statements by members of the ECB, hinting at a new tide of measures from March 10; plus better numbers on the US economy. At the political level, the risk of a Brexit has become more significant, given the decision of London’s popular mayor, Boris Johnson, to support it. Meanwhile, we found that stock and convertible valuations have once again become attractive at around 2,700 points on the Euro Stoxx 50. In the fund, we have begun to take on some risk, for example in re-striking call options (on Nokia, Telecom Italia, and Deutsche Post). Convertible Europe All Caps has not invested in LVMH’s new convertible because we would rather focus on issues with a more dynamic profile, like the Buzzi Unicem convertible. We have paired our Faurecia bonds with call options on the same underlying security. At the month end, we cut back on Air France and Nexans convertibles, in the wake of their strong rally. EdR Convertible Europe All Caps posted a return of over 3%. The financial market rebound continued in March, in a climate that has remained highly volatile. Accommodating arguments made on both sides of the Atlantic by Fed chair, Janet Yellen, and ECB chief, Mario Draghi, made a positive contribution to the market recovery. The ECB has taken a number of measures such as cutting all its rates, increasing its asset repurchasing programme by €20 billion per month, broadening the pool of eligible securities to include non-financial corporate debt (rated investment grade) and adding four new TLTROs. These are should all contribute to a positive credit performance in the euro zone in the months ahead, in a historically low interest rate environment. The US Federal Reserve, meanwhile, is now anticipating two rate hikes in 2016 and moving towards gradual normalisation in monetary policy. The uncertainties regarding global growth have been offsetting the improvement on the US labour market and higher inflation forecasts. One result has been a weaker dollar, a supporting factor for commodity prices. Oil has accordingly recorded a gain of some +50% since its low. In Japan, while the market picked up, there are still concerns focusing on currency trends. Back in Britain, the leading sources of market concern have continued to crystallise around the impending Brexit referendum. We have reduced a number of positions to limit our overall equity sensitivity (Nexity, Indra Sistemas, Soitec, Adidas, Philips, Kering, Rallye Casino and Cap Gemini). In addition, we have sold the Solidium Sampo exchangeables that have lost their allure to invest in GrandCity, which could benefit from its better credit situation. In much the same vein, we sold the La Caixa exchangeable to take a position on the STM 2019, which we reckon has been underestimated by the market.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Global Convexity The US equity market fell by 2.85% in January as it suffered from the effects of profit-taking and the increasing strength of the dollar against the euro. Against this backdrop, the MSCI Global rose only slightly, by 0.33%. However, US convertibles performed well, as the loss was kept to just 0.5% over the period (TR US convertible). In Europe, the convertible bond market rose sharply, by 3.5%, and the equity market performed similarly well, increasing by 3.9% (MSCI Europe). Global Convexity benefited from its positioning in this area due to the rise in certain stocks such as STMicroelectronics, Foncière des Régions and Air France. In Japan, Teijin took over from Toray, which we had sold in the previous month, with a solid performance of over 9% from the underlying. Our positioning in Suez Environnement (convertible bonds and options) benefited from the surge in all high-yield securities that are coveted for their attractive dividends compared with low bond yields, a trend that can no doubt be explained by the commencement of the quantitative easing initiated by the ECB. We sold our call options on the security as we considered that it had reached its target valuation. We introduced an option position in Capital One. The US bank should benefit from the increased consumption that we expect to see in the United States. When opportunity allowed, we strengthened our position in Ford for that very same reason. The end of the month saw us take a more cautious stance, reducing our exposure to equities slightly. We sold our Folli Follie bond so that we were no longer directly exposed to Greece. The announcement of quantitative easing by the ECB was the main contributing factor to the positive performance of financial assets. Equity markets and high-yield and convertible bond markets continued their meteoric rise in February following the agreement with Greece and the hope of an impact from the ECB’s expansionist monetary policy. In Europe, we believe that the rise in the equity market reflects the drop in oil prices and the fall of the euro against the US dollar. However, economic growth in the eurozone would need to accelerate sharply for hopes of continuing positive share performance to persist. The Crossover index also took note of this good news, returning to the lows of 2014 at around 260 bps. Performance was just as impressive in the United States and Japan, with increases of 5.75% for the S&P 500 and 6.41% for the Nikkei. Against this backdrop, we felt it was prudent to reduce equity exposure by selling our options on the Nikkei. The Japanese primary market was also very dynamic, with convertible bonds issued by Japan Airport, Chugoku and Toyosa, all of which we bought into. We also bought into the issue from European specialist steel manufacturer Outokumpu. At the start of the month, we took a tactical position by purchasing call options on banks such as BNP, Société Générale and Crédit Agricole, as we felt that the underperformance of the banks was disproportionate to the market. We added a position in AXA at the same time and took our profits on Ford. We took advantage of the opportunity to invest in the Siem Subsea exchangeable and the Yandex convertible bond. In March, we opportunistically bought into several primary offerings: Prysmian, Faurecia, ACS and Whiting Oil. We quickly took our profits on Whiting Oil, collecting just over five points. At the start of the month, we made the call that the equity market had reached high valuation levels. We reduced or sold a number of positions such as Foncière des Régions, STMicroelectronics, Alcatel, Outukumpu and Larsen & Toubro as convertibles were no longer quite as mixed. The NXP and Horizon Pharma convertibles were also sold off following mergers that created significant value. In the previous month, we had introduced a position in banking securities, with some call options on BNP, Crédit Agricole and Société Générale. We felt that these positions had achieved their objectives and therefore sold them all. The sales of Pages Jaunes and Gestamp high-yield bonds were offset by purchases of convertible bonds such as Solidium Telia, Interdigital and The Medicine Company, and call options on Ford, Micron and Capital One. We had no exposure to SanDisk, which fell following a profits warning. We kept a mainly European allocation as opportunities on both credit and equities continued to be clear to us. The weakness of the euro and the fall in commodity prices gave European consumers a shot in the arm. The second quarter of the year was marked by the growth of several industrial convertible positions in China, which performed exceptionally well during April. Among the underlying equities were names such as Shanghai Industrial, Yuexiu Transport, Beijing Enterprises and Kingsoft, which posted performances of between +15% and +30%. We reacted fairly quickly to these movements at the end of the period, taking our profits on most of these positions. We believe that the rise in the Chinese market, just as with the European market, was perhaps too fast and was mainly motivated by a great deal of expectation that Chinese monetary policy would be eased. Part of what we sold was reinvested in the China Unicom convertible bond, which has a very attractive technical profile. However, the Chinese economy is noticeably slowing at present. HSBC’s PMI index also turned out lower than expected at the start of May. Yandex published its results online; they showed a significant decrease in the intensity of the geopolitical tensions in Ukraine, which gave the share price of the Russian Media Group the chance to bounce back. The announcement that Nokia was to repurchase Alcatel gave us the idea of positioning ourselves by purchasing call options on securities and we opportunistically returned to Outokumpu following results that were deemed disappointing by the market. Our investments were concentrated in a purchase of call options on Telecom Italia and in the introduction of a position in LinkedIn and SanDisk. We strengthened our position in Telsa.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Global Convexity (continued) Over the course of the month, we gradually increased sensitivity to equities within our portfolio, particularly in Europe as we took advantage of market consolidation. We were not overly interested in the profile of new convertible bond issues such as Haniel Metro or Telecom Italia. However, we believe that their underlying instruments offer opportune exposure to the European market, which is why we purchased options rather than directly buying the convertible bonds. This allowed us to avoid taking too much bond duration risk. In the same vein, we invested in or strengthened several positions such as Allianz, Saint Gobain, Philips, CRM, Ford, Intesa, Repsol, Iberdrola and Deutsche Post. We invested in FireEye and T&D Holdings issues. Our worries about Greece prompted us to sell some peripheral positions such as Sacyr, OHL and Sonae in Spain and Portugal. We strengthened some convertible bonds that had convex profiles we liked, such as SanDisk, LinkedIn, Outukumpu and China Unicom. Although our exposure to equities is higher, we remain cautious after the equities market’s rise, which might have been too fast. We are still awaiting a more opportune window to return to the markets more directly. The Greek crisis continues to preoccupy all minds and is clouding very important issues such as the prospect of an interest rate hike in the United States, geopolitical tensions in Europe and the sudden collapse of the Shanghai stock exchange. The upcoming referendum on 5 July should finally give us the outcome to this tragedy. A “yes” vote by the people should logically lead to the fall of the government and the rapid conclusion of an agreement. If the opposite should happen, we could venture into unknown territory, but the European institutions will be able to continue discussions. We are still positive on European equities and have profited from opportunities in this bearish environment. We strengthened a number of option-based positions such as Iberdrola, Banca Intesa, AXA, Metro, Deutsche Post, Philips, Generali, Telecom Italia and Repsol. We also added two other securities in this selection, Volkswagen and Cap Gemini. The integration of IGATE should spur on the profitability of this French service company. We also bought into the Cap Gemini 2020 bond issue with a 1.75% coupon. We performed the same transaction with Atos and UCB by subscribing for the first time to the bond issue and buying call options. We still prefer option-based investments because European convertible bonds continue to present a slightly expensive profile. However, we did make some purchases of convertible bonds from STMicroelectronics and British Land. We did not buy into the last two European issues (Ingenico and Airbus) as their premiums were excessive and dividend restrictions made them unattractive. In the United States, we bought into ON Corporation’s primary issuance. We took profits on FireEye and Capital One. We began the early summer period with sensitivity at 29%, with this figure having been on the rise for a month due to all the investments we had made. The month was dominated by the situation in Greece, with the “no” vote coming out on top in the referendum. The final agreement on the Greek bailout plan and its approval by the parliament there allowed investors to turn their attention to the subject of the sell-off of Chinese equities and central bank monetary policies. Disappointing industrial results in China increased concerns over the Chinese economy, with its market having fallen by over 6% since the beginning of the month. However, investors were reassured, when the state staged a short-term intervention. In the US, an improved economic situation increased the likelihood of a rate hike by the Fed in September. However, at the meeting held from 28-29 July, Janet Yellen did not set out a strict timetable, emphasising that the Fed required further improvement before any rise. In the second half of the month, we began reducing equity sensitivity. We reduced our option-based positions on Deutsche Post, AXA, Iberdrola and Generali. We took advantage of the equities rebound in order to take some profits on IIDA Group Holdings, Novafives, Tesla, Yue Xiu, Sainsbury and SanDisk. We took profits on our position in convertible bond Illumina since the profile had become rather convex following a continuous increase of 20% on the share. We positioned ourselves on short calls for Telecom Italia to take advantage of the potential momentum. We bought into the primary issuances from Towa Pharmaceutical and Steinhoff. We also purchased hedging in order to contain volatility in the event of tail risk (Greece and China). We adopted a more defensive strategy as a result of a potential increase in volatility around 20 August, which was linked to the Greek agreement and uncertainties around the Chinese stock exchange and the Fed’s policy. We anticipate a less dynamic primary market during the summer period with recovery in early autumn in the event of favourable news. The month of August proved difficult for the equity markets. The unexpected devaluation of the yuan, following the publication of disappointing economic figures in China, increased investor concerns regarding China’s growth prospects. Growing uncertainty about the outlook for global growth and the ongoing fall in commodity prices exerted a great deal of pressure on all asset classes, leading to an acceleration in sales at the end of the month. The intervention of the Chinese authorities, the upward revision of US growth figures and the publication of better-than-expected confidence indices in Europe and the United States helped to improve market sentiment, but did not fully restore investor confidence. Overall, the Chinese equity market lost more than 11% from the beginning of July. The European and Japanese markets lost nearly 10% and 8% respectively, due to the preceding fundamentals-oriented valuation, while the US markets underwent a correction of 6%. Since February, we have gradually decreased our exposure to equities, and this slightly reduced our performance for March-April.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Global Convexity (continued) However, this prudent approach, together with our hedging strategy, enabled the portfolio to withstand a tumultuous August. We remained underexposed to international equities, with low equity exposure in general. August saw us take profits on our position in Terumo. We took advantage of the market correction to strengthen our positions in Tesla, given its solid fundamentals and attractive risk-return profile. We also changed our options strategy on Nokia, Telecom Italia and VW, selecting call options with a more attractive profile. We continued to avoid taking positions in Abengoa, because of uncertainties relating to the company’s capital increase. As per our investment approach, we maintained a positive attitude towards developed markets and Europe in particular. However, we remained cautious, due to uncertainties surrounding China’s economic growth, the Fed’s timetable for interest rate hikes and the political instability in Greece, as we could not rule out the possibility of a correction in the equity markets. In September, global markets continued to be pegged back by the Fed’ s decision to postpone the US rate rise. This decision was taken against a backdrop of concerns regarding inflation levels, global growth and recent renewed volatility stemming from the devaluation of the Chinese yuan, as well as uncertainty around emerging markets. In this context, global shares lost 3.4% and credit spreads widened on the investment grade and high yield markets. In this environment, convertible bonds continued to post positive year-to-date performance, even though performance for the month of September was negative for most geographic regions. The market decreased in value somewhat, in particular in the emerging regions and Japan. Issues became scarce, with just US$5.7 billion worth of new issues this month on the convertible bond market (compared with US$14.4 billion in September 2014). This month, we took advantage of the market correction to increase the portfolio’s exposure while remaining underweight against the benchmark index, strengthening our options positions in Metro, Crédit Agricole, Kering, Ageas, Iberdrola, Nokia, Philips, CapGemini and Intel. We also strengthened our positions in Rag-Stiftung, Citrix, LinkedIn, Steinhoff and Telenet. We took positions in call options on JP Morgan, AIG and Wells Fargo, securities that we believe will benefit from strengthening interest rates in the United States and an increase in consumption and, therefore, credit volume. We took profits on Tesla, Xefin, DomusVi, Terumo and Unicharm (after buying into the primary issuance from the latter). We reduced our position in STMicro, given the slowdown in emerging markets and the uncertainty surrounding the potential restructuring of the digital segment. We took positions in ENI/SNAM due to their weak underlying. We also bought into the primary issuance launched by Shimizu (Japanese construction firm). However, in view of the uncertainty regarding the global growth outlook and the timing of the Fed's interest rate rise, we maintained our defensive position in order to guard against market volatility and to take advantage of any potential entry points. October offered better visibility of the central banks’ monetary policy. The chairman of the ECB, Mario Draghi, made a particularly conciliatory speech at the meeting held on 22 October, mentioning the possibility of new quantitative easing measures in December. However, the Bank of Japan, did not extend its asset purchase programme, confident that the Japanese economy would be able to manage on its own, despite the slowdown in emerging economies, without additional support from the monetary authorities. Meanwhile, the Chair of the US Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen, appeared to be more confident about the national economy and less concerned about emerging economies, increasing the likelihood of a rate hike later this year. This clarification of the central banks’ monetary policies, together with the easing of fears about emerging economies, helped the equity and credit markets to bounce back in October. Consequently, European equities rose by 7.3% and US equities by more than 8%, while the Japanese equities markets recorded a rise of 10.93% and emerging equity markets a rise of 5.45%. In order to limit the volatility of our portfolio, we remained underexposed to the equity market. We strengthened our positions in Telenet Finance, Allianz, Generali, Sogecap and NN Group this month, to maximise our portfolio’s yield potential. We bought into the convertible bond issue by Integrated Device Technology (IDTI) in the United States. However, we reduced certain positions following the credit market’s recovery in October, including ZF NA Capital, Air France and Cellnex. We also reduced our exposure to China Precious Metals, given the lack of visibility regarding the group and uncertainties surrounding its merger and acquisition activity. The call options on CRM were sold due to the group’s high valuation. We took some profits on Kering and Adidas, reducing their respective option positions. We also took profits on the performance recorded by Citrix and LinkedIn, whose share prices rose by over 11% following the announcement of solid quarterly results. Once more, the monetary policy of the central banks was a key concern for investors in November. The volatility of recent months seems to have had less impact on decision-making than the Federal Reserve’s new monetary policy, which will be announced at its next meeting. Against the backdrop of an upward revision in US GDP and the relative resilience of the domestic economy, the likelihood of a rate hike in December rose to almost 70%, from 30% in October. The ECB has less confidence in the European economy, particularly in regard to its inflation target. It is apparently prepared to use all the tools at its disposal to support the economy, including the possible extension of its programme of quantitative easing and a reduction in deposit rates. The primary convertible bond market finally opened up again after months of sluggish activity. During the month of November, we bought into new issues by Iberdrola, IAG, Tohoku, Vodafone and Brenntag. Our call options on Crédit

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Global Convexity (continued) Agricole and ING were consolidated, as were our positions in Steinhoff and British Land convertible bonds. New positions were taken in Iliad and Accor. We also changed the exercise price of our call options on Nokia and Allianz. We took advantage of the temporary weakness of the Brait convertible bond to introduce a new position in this security and purchased the America Movil/KPN exchangeable bond to strengthen our cyclical exposure to the eurozone. We also purchased the new Qualcomm call option, the day before the share price correction. In addition, we took profits on the SanDisk convertible bond and reduced our positions in Teijin and Terumo, replacing them with the Sony convertible bond, as the latter offers a more balanced profile. We reduced our positions in options on UCB, Metro, Adidas, JP Morgan and Wells Fargo. Conversely, we maintained our positive stance on the European and US equity markets, while continuing to take a conservative approach. A new wave of primary issuances is likely if the market continues to stabilise. The equity markets in Europe suffered a more severe downturn than in the United States following the decisions taken by the respective central banks at the start of month: the European Central Bank’s decision not to increase quantitative easing and the Fed’s long-awaited decision to increase interest rates. Several of our exposures in Europe suffered as a result, including the Steinhoff 2022 convertible bond and some options positions, such as those in Philips, Kering, Metro and Atos. Bond positions, such as those in CNP and ACS, were battered by tensions in Brazil on the one hand and uncertain election results in Spain on the other. In the United States, ARCC was also hit hard by the interest rate hike. However, we did benefit from our investments in Vodafone, which is rumoured to be in talks with Liberty Media about a possible merger. Generally speaking, the portfolio was not significantly impacted by the continued weakening in oil prices. We strengthened our position in DP World and our options positions in Telecom Italia. Next year could see a move towards a recovery in the sector. We also took a very opportunistic approach with Rallye Casino, investing in its exchangeable bond after a report published by a controversial US activist sent the Casino and Rallye securities into freefall. The exchangeable bond offers in excess of a 10% yield on the 2018 put option. We took some profits on our positions in Cap Gemini and Metro. We also introduced some new option and bond positions in CNP, STM and Jazz Pharmaceutical. Our opinions for 2016 have not changed. Growth should return gradually in Europe, causing the equities market to perform better in Europe than in the United States. Our positioning towards emerging countries will start to change as valuation levels become attractive once more. We are approaching 2016 with equity exposure at around 18% and significant geographic exposure to Europe. Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Euro Credit Short Term Investors were guided by the messages from the central banks, monitoring the published macroeconomic indicators (economic activity, employment and inflation) closely to anticipate their next move. In the eurozone, the persistent weakness of inflation throughout the year continued to sustain expectations that the ECB would take action, leading it to reduce key interest rates and introduce a covered bond and asset-backed securities purchase programme. Key interest rates were cut from 0% for the deposit rate and 0.25% for the refinancing rate to -0.20% and 0.05% respectively, with the ECB imposing negative rates. The Japanese and Chinese economies also propelled the central banks to act, with a new Japanese quantitative easing programme in October. International geopolitical tensions also bolstered the interest rate markets with flight-to-quality trends. The Fed stood out by continuing to gradually decrease the amounts of its asset purchases until it confirmed the end of its programme in October, and preparing the markets for an initial rate increase in 2015. - We witnessed a rally in the first quarter of 2015: over the period of a general rise in markets, the European HY market, out in front compared to its bond counterparts, saw a record number of primary issues (€31 billion compared with €22 billion for the same period in 2014). A number of US issuers also came to refinance themselves on the European market. - The increase in rates in April and May brought high volatility in European rates, while doubts over Greek solvency weighed down on credit markets, specifically the investment grade market. The high yield market showed resilience during this period of rate rises. - There was volatility across all markets from June to late August: the Greek crisis, the sharp fall in Chinese exports, the devaluation of the yuan, fears about global growth and the spectre of a future interest-rate hike by the Fed created volatility in a market that continued to lack liquidity. Against this backdrop, the European high yield market held up better than its US counterpart, recording few outflows. Positive results from European companies also supported the market.

The European high yield market posted a negative performance of -2.5%, while the US market posted a performance of -2.6%, its fourth consecutive month of negative performance. - October saw a strong upturn in the asset class: September’s correction took spreads on the European high yield market to over 500 bps, a level not reached since October 2012. With a yield of over 5.5%, we once again saw investors showing an active interest in the asset class, with European companies continuing to post positive results. The European high yield market finished the month of October in pole position, with a performance of 3.5%. Markets reacted positively to the announcement of a QE increase by the European Central Bank, based on growth and inflation forecasts. The primary market reopened on all bond markets. Several factors helped to explain the performance differential between European and US high yield markets: - The weight of the energy and metals sectors in the US HY market, which particularly suffered in 2015: 19.3% in the US compared to 7% in Europe; - Quantitative easing in Europe compared with the Fed’s rate rise on 16 December; - Fundamentals of European companies; - The difference in default rates: at the end of September, the US default rate was 2.44%, with the European rate at around 0.7%. Overall, we saw more outflows on the US high yield segment than on the European high yield market. Buoyed by low interest rates and the search for alternative sources of financing, European issuers are gaining in number. The market saw more than €60 billion in new issues. The market was very active over the first half-year, with more than €50 billion of new issues, followed by a particularly quiet third quarter (in fact, it was closed in September 2015 due to market volatility). Default rates were historically low in Europe, at 2.8% for 2015; the trend for the first quarter of 2016 remained at around 3%. Until the middle of February, the first quarter of 2016 was swayed by fears about the US economy, the Chinese slowdown and the collapse of commodities prices. The low oil prices also raised fears that the exposure of banks to the oil sector might lead to a serious recession. The financial markets continued their recovery in March in a still volatile environment. The accommodating rhetoric from both sides of the Atlantic by Janet Yellen and Mario Draghi definitively helped to drive this recovery in the markets. The ECB took a number of measures, such as reducing its key interest rate and increasing its asset purchase programme by €20 billion per month, extending it to non-financial investment grade company debt. These factors advocated a robust credit performance in the eurozone in the coming months, against a backdrop of historically low rates. EdR Euro Credit Short Term achieved a performance of 1.08% for the year owing to a widening of credit spreads during the financial year. The Main index increased from 55bps to 75bps during the year, peaking at more than 120 bps in February 2016. The iTraxx Crossover index hovered between 245 bps and 305 bps, peaking at 500 bps in mid-February 2016. During the financial year, management avoided names with ties to the energy sector and to commodities prices. Its benchmark index reported a performance of 0.86% for the period. As at 31 March 2016, interest rate sensitivity had fallen over the course of the year to 1.13. We reduced sensitivity to reflect the persistent interest rate cuts in Europe. The average actuarial rate was 1.04%. EdR Euro Credit Short Term ended the financial year with €179.42 million outstanding.

Concerning investment grade spreads the CDS indices widened from 63bps to 75bps in the US and from 55 bps to 75bps in Europe. US high yield spreads (CDX high yield index) went from 340bps to 432bps and European high yield spreads went from 245bps to 305bps (Itraxx crossover index). Treasury and Bund curves steepened during the period, with short end yields falling but with 10 year yields being virtually unchanged.

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Global Crossover Bonds (continued) EDR Global Crossover (I) posted a performance that was globally in line with its index, 0.02% against 0.13%. During the period, the most significant differences with the index were to overweight high yield (generally 38% to 40%) relative to the index (33%), to strongly overweight European high yield relative to US high yield, and to overweight subordinated financials and investment grade sovereign peripheral bonds (Spain, Italy). During the period high beta energy issuers were strongly underweighted. Duration during the period was generally below the index duration. The average rating of the portfolio was always either BBB or BBB-. This positioning helped the fund outperform its index over the first three quarters under review, but the strong rebound in the price of oil and of the US high yield market in the first quarter of 2016, as well as the weakness in subordinated financials meant that the index came back strongly compared to the fund to close the period. The fund’s volatility was in line with the index over the period (3.41 against 3.37). EDR Global Crossover closed the period with net assets of 375 million EUR. Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Emerging Bonds Since our last report and over the period September 2015 – March 2016 our fund had a strong performance being up +8.48% (I share) which compares to +6.35% for EM hard currency debt ( EMBI Global hedged in Euros) and +11% for local currency debt (GBI-EM index). In a very similar fashion to last year’s winter, the period from December to February was marked by a an increase in market volatility. While it is always comfortable to look for logical explanations ex-post, this time a change in sentiment and poor liquidity, made worse at the end of the year, were the main culprits. True, oil prices reached their bottom in January, close to USD 25 a barrel, however most of the moves in commodities had already happened at this stage and any fundamental factors present during the winter 2014-2015 (oil debacle and Russia-Ukraine conflict) we clearly absent. Overall we remained invested during the period and the volatility coupled with some local developments offered us some investment opportunities. This has been the case in the corporate sector where we have added some exposure to Brazil. The ongoing political events, with the destitution of the president, open the way for possible structural reforms. Indeed our exposure to Brazil has been growing steadily over the period to reach the second position in the portfolio. Quite a change for a country which had not been represented among our convictions for close to four years. Valuations and investor positioning have become much more attractive in what could evolve as the next transition story in Latin America. Writing about transitions, a successful one happened with the November 2015 election in Argentina. The first 100 days of the new president were marked by sweeping reforms and a strong momentum. Asset prices have been reflecting this and we have taken some profits in this key strategy which was a substantial contributor to our performance over the past 3 years. In line with our usual long term approach, this constitutes a very good example of the type of specific themes we tend to focus on. The other transition story and top country exposure in our fund, Venezuela, has also seen important developments over the period. First with an overwhelming victory of the opposition which took control over the congress following last December elections. Then with some timid steps from the government to address the distorted foreign currency market. And finally with the obstructive tactics of the executive branch to limit the powers of lawmakers and delay the process of a recall referendum of the president. On the ground there is obviously a much more polarized context than in Argentina with risks of a more chaotic transition. However, given assets valuations, the long term prospects of the country make it a compelling and very asymmetric investment case despite the potential volatility. On the technical side, we have witnessed a return of inflows into the asset class at the end of the period after two very negative years. Given the still cautious positioning of most investors it offers some positive perspectives for the remainder of the year.

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Emerging Corporate Bonds Activity report 2015-2016 In the bond markets for emerging corporate debt denominated in dollars, the period under review was characterised by marked differences between regions or sectors. Market trends were generally positive at the start of the period. Thereafter, external events caused significant movements. Generally speaking, this resulted in a relatively unprofitable year in terms of performance. First of all, global growth, which was revised downwards throughout the year, in particular on the emerging portion, offered no support to the market. Secondly, commodities prices declined further in 2015 and continued to weigh on producing companies. The dollar remained strong and did not favour the already fragile sentiment. Fears over Russia abated and investors regained confidence, allowing Russian assets to recover some of the ground lost at the end of 2014 when the rouble and oil prices collapsed. Russian companies very quickly adapted to the implementation of sanctions and continued to report solid financial results. In the second half of the period, the political, economic and financial scandal in Brazil involving Petrobras and some of the country’s largest construction companies extended to other domestic actors and aggravated the internal climate. The crisis of confidence was significant and caused the price of borrowing to fall. These events influenced the changes to the Fund, in terms of its structure and the beliefs represented. As such, the Fund is exposed to growth sectors and commodities producers. After the crisis of confidence which hit Russia at the end of 2014, the valuation on the Russian segment became particularly generous. It was thus important to retain these positions so as to make the most of the expected rebound. A normalisation phase began at the start of 2015 with a significant recovery of prices. This helped to achieve a positive performance over the period despite the fact that exposure to other markets, including Brazil, was less favourable. In this environment, the balance of the Fund was respected. The Fund’s average quality remained “BB”, which is the target rating. The Fund’s investment grade segment fell particularly short in terms of performance following multiple rating cuts that affected the segment. The duration remained short to medium during the period under review, at below four years. We remained fully invested, with the cash component varying between 2–3% according to market conditions. It should also be noted that liquidity remains difficult in the emerging companies market during periods of tension.
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Euro IG Corporate Bonds The Fund’s performance over the period is positive, at close to 2%, while almost all of the market ended in negative territory. Data from the Fund suggests a strong potential for recovery in the subsequent period, following the market’s recent exaggerations, particularly in the Latin American allocation. The latter should benefit from a return of confidence supported by a positive trend in the commodities market; a scenario which we are in favour of. In addition, the search for performance in the current low rate environment continues to support the asset class. In a 2015 and early 2016 that saw the ECB launch a QE program, another Greek crisis, a growing divergence in outlook between the ECB and the Fed, weakness in the Chinese economy and a collapse in the resource sector- longer end high grade fixed income markets were actually very little changed relative to the beginning of the period. 10 year Bund yields started the period at 0.16% and closed the closed the period at 0.16%. There was volatility however, as 10 year bund yields did rise as high as 1% during the period. The ECB’s QE program had a very strong effect on shorter rates, as the 2 year bund went from a negative -0.25% to a negative -0.50%.European sovereigns outperformed investment grade credit, largely due the performance of peripheral bonds, who were not only the main beneficiaries of the QE program but performed better economically and fiscally than expected. European corporate investment grade bonds saw spreads widen somewhat during the period under review, with the Itraxx Main index going from 56 to 74. The rise in spreads was relatively gradual throughout 2015, but spiked sharply during the first 5 weeks of 2016 as concerns over the world economy (notably China), as well as continuing fall in commodity pricing and strengthening US dollar weighed on markets. World central banks were able to reassure markets that they could still take meaningful action, and EUR Corporate IG spreads rallied strongly to close the period.

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Euro IG Corporate Bonds (continued) The EDR EUR Corporate IG was positioned relatively defensively in terms of duration during the period, as the low nominal yields and possibility of rising inflation expectations from extreme low levels argued for restraint. We however held a slight credit bias during the period, being overweight in BBBs relative to the index for the period. Edmond de Rothschild Fund - US IG Corporate Bonds In a 2015 and early 2016 that saw the Federal Reserve raise rates for the first time in 7 years, the ECB launch a QE program, another Greek crisis, a growing divergence in outlook between the ECB and the Fed, weakness in the Chinese economy and a collapse in the resource sector- longer end high grade fixed income markets were actually very little changed relative to the beginning of the period. 10 year Treasury yields started the period at 1.86% and closed the closed the period at 1.77%. There was volatility however, as 10 year Treasury yields did rise as high as 2.47%% during the period. The Fed’s rate hike (and rate hike guidance in general) had a stronger effect on shorter rates, as the 2 year Treasury went from 0.55%% to 0.72%.Treasuries outperformed investment grade credit. European corporate investment grade bonds saw spreads widen somewhat during the period under review, with the Itraxx CDX main index going from 63 to 75. The rise in spreads was relatively gradual throughout 2015, but spiked sharply during the first 5 weeks of 2016 as concerns over the world economy (notably China), as well as continuing fall in commodity pricing and strengthening US dollar weighed on markets.

The EDR US Corporate IG was positioned relatively defensively in terms of duration during the period, as the low nominal yields and possibility of rising inflation expectations from extreme low levels argued for restraint. Although having had a generally constructive view of credit worldwide, the fund during the period was generally in line with the index in terms of credit due to the later stage in the leverage cycle in the US. Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Signatures Euro High Yield Investors were guided by the messages from the central banks, monitoring the published macroeconomic indicators (economic activity, employment and inflation) closely to anticipate their next move. In the eurozone, the persistent weakness of inflation throughout the year continued to sustain expectations that the ECB would take action, leading it to reduce key interest rates and introduce a covered bond and asset-backed securities purchase programme. Key interest rates were cut from 0% for the deposit rate and 0.25% for the refinancing rate to -0.20% and 0.05% respectively, with the ECB imposing negative rates. The Japanese and Chinese economies also propelled the central banks to act, with a new Japanese quantitative easing programme in October. International geopolitical tensions also bolstered the interest rate markets with flight-to-quality trends. The Fed stood out by continuing to gradually decrease the amounts of its asset purchases until it confirmed the end of its programme in October, and preparing the markets for an initial rate increase in 2015. - We witnessed a rally in the first quarter of 2015: over the period of a general rise in markets, the European HY market, out in front compared to its bond counterparts, saw a record number of primary issues (€31 billion versus €22 billion for the same period in 2014). A number of U.S. issuers also came to improve their finance capacity on the European market - The increase in rates in April and May brought high volatility in European rates, while doubts over Greek solvency weighed on credit markets, specifically the investment grade market. The High Yield market showed resilience during this period of rate rises. - There was volatility across all markets from June to late August: the Greek crisis, the sharp fall in Chinese exports, the devaluation of the yuan, fears about global growth and the spectre of a future interest-rate hike by the Fed created volatility in a market that continued to lack liquidity. Against this backdrop, the European High Yield market held up better than its US counterpart, recording few outflows. Positive results from European companies also supported the market.

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Signatures Euro High Yield (continued) September was a “black” month, with the High Yield market affected by fears on emerging markets, uncertainty over interest-rate rises in the US and a series of “specific cases”. The market was penalised by the Volkswagen scandal and bad news coming from such names as Glencore and Abengoa. The European High Yield market posted negative performance of -2.5%, while the US market posted performance of -2.6%, its fourth consecutive month of negative performance. - October saw a strong upturn in the asset class: September’s correction took spreads on the Euro High Yield market to over 500 bps, a level not achieved since October 2012. With a yield of over 5.5%, we again saw investors taking an active interest in the asset class, with European companies continuing to post positive results. The European High Yield market finished the month of October in pole position, with a performance of 3.5%. Markets reacted positively to the announcement of a QE increase by the European Central Bank, based on growth and inflation forecasts. The primary market reopened on all bond markets. Several factors helped to explain the performance differential between Euro and US High Yield markets: - The weight of the energy and metals sectors in the US HY market, which particularly suffered in 2015: 19.3% in the U.S. compared to 7% in Europe; - Quantitative Easing in Europe compared with the Fed’s rate rise on 16 December; - Fundamentals of European companies; - The gap in default rates: at the end of September, the US default rate was 2.44%, with the European rate at around 0.7%. Overall, we saw more outflows on the US High Yield segment than on the European High Yield market. Buoyed by low interest rates and the search for alternative sources of financing, European issuers are gaining in number. The market saw more than €60 billion in new issues. The market was very active over the first half-year, with more than €50 billion of new issues, followed by a particularly quiet third quarter (in fact, it was closed in September 2015 due to market volatility). Default rates were historically low in Europe, at 2.8% for 2015; the trend for the first quarter of 2016 remained at around 3%. Q1 2016 was influenced until mid-February by fears on the US economy, the Chinese slowdown and the fall in commodity prices. The fall in oil prices thus aroused fears that banks’ exposure to this sector might lead to a major recession. The financial markets continued their recovery in March in a still-volatile environment. The accommodative rhetoric from both sides of the pond by Janet Yellen and Mario Draghi definitively helped to drive this recovery in the markets. The ECB took a number of measures, such as reducing its key interest rate and increasing its asset purchase programme by €20 billion per month, extending it to non-financial Investment Grade company debt. These factors militated in favour of robust credit performance in the eurozone in the coming months, against a backdrop of historically low rates. EdR Signatures Euro High Yield achieved a performance of 1.99% for the year owing to a widening of credit spreads during the financial year. The Itraxx Crossover index moved between 245bps and 305bps, peaking at 500bps in mid-February 2016. During the year, management avoided names linked to the energy sector and to commodity prices and we also avoided issuers close to default such as Abengoa. Benchmark index performance was 2.21% over the period. The portfolio spread per rating was 55.8% for single-B ratings, 29.6% for BB ratings and 7.98% for CCC+ ratings. We also had 2.1% of non-rated. At 31 March 2016, the portfolio’s interest rate sensitivity was 3.15. The average actuarial rate was 4.51%. EdR Signatures Euro High Yield closed the year with assets of €318.68m. Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Europe Value Due to the fact that the net assets of the Sub-Fund were below the minimum net asset amount stipulated in the Company’s prospectus, which is set at EUR 5,000,000, the Company’s board of directors has decided to proceed with the mandatory redemption of all currently issued shares of the sub-fund Edmond de Rothschild Fund – Europe Value.

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Return Plus At the end of March 2016, the AUM of EDR Fund RETURN PLUS totals EUR 80’084’182 EDR Fund - Return Plus aims to take part in bond market upside within a maximum annual volatility target of 2% and has a 3-year recommended investment horizon. Market environment: The bond markets suffered several shocks throughout this period. Bond markets began relatively upbeat. Low inflation and large asset purchase programmes drove European rates to historical lows, with many in negative territory (-0.45% for the 2Y Bund) in April, before moving up sharply in a unprecedented manner. In two months (May & June) the yield on the 10-year Bund climbed to 0.93% versus 0.06% in April. The entire market suffered as a result, with government yields leading the way. Only convertible bonds, supported by a rise in equity markets showed some solidity during the period. During the rest of 2015, most bond segments partially recovered, whereas emerging markets and corporate debt continued to suffer, reporting negative annual returns. Starting 2016, the bond market benefited from a flight-to-quality phenomenon posting positive yields. RETURN PLUS has been impacted by the sharp and sudden correction but limited losses during this period. The portfolio maintained a rather important and diversified bond exposure, 58% on average, that allowed to recover partly from this loss. The allocation in aggregate and short-mid-term bonds has been predominant. To a lesser extent, the portfolio has also invested in government, high yield and investment grade bonds. RETURN PLUS (E class denominated in EUR) has generated a negative performance of 2.90% while maintaining risk under control (annualised volatility of 1.40% and maximum drawdown of -3.91%). The quantitative asset management methodology, RETURN PLUS, does not allow an ex-ante identification of market trends. However, it enables us to understand how the product will react in different market configurations:
• During periods of established uptrend, RETURN PLUS will optimise the risk by selecting the asset classes and investments that exhibit favourable trends. • During periods of trend reversal, RETURN PLUS will initially suffer from the negative trend before gradually divest or will not be upward indexed over the first period before gradually reinvest. • During established downward market, RETURN PLUS will have low or no exposure in asset classes that perform negatively in order to consolidate the gains of previous trends.
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Income Europe January European markets closed up smartly in January. They were driven mainly by the ECB’s announcement of quantitative easing, that was surprising both for its scale, and the fact that its has not given rise to any major political debate since it falls within the ECB’s remit to bring inflation expectations close to — but below —2%. Political developments in Greece at the month end had a slight impact on the market uptrend, without putting it into any doubt. The victory of Greece’s radical left party Syriza, its alliance with the right-wing nationalist party, and the appointment of a finance minister known for his anti-austerity position have driven Greek yields over 10% and sent the price of the country’s banks reeling. Any systemic risk seems, for the moment, confined to Greece, with yields in other peripheral European countries continuing to ease in the wake of the ECB’s announcements. Earnings reports and early indications for 2015 seem to confirm earnings growth prospects, which are being driven by three factors: the decline of the euro, falling oil prices and lower financing costs. Note, too, the encouraging results of the European credit survey, with a recovery in credit demand for business investment in Germany and Spain, while in France it remains at a high level. In this climate, the positions on E.On, Vodafone and RWE were sold, and three new positions were initiated in Ontex, Inchcape and Telefonica. On the credit markets, the iTraxx Crossover index tightened 30 bps to reach 315 bps by the month’s end. The primary market recorded €8 billion in issues—including €4.6 billion for the Altice jumbo deal alone, to finance the acquisition of Portugal Telecom’s Portuguese assets. We also took part in the recent issues for Platform Specialty, Ziggo and Virgin Media.

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Income Europe (continued) February The European market uptrend launched in January continued through February, enabling it to post double-digit growth since the beginning the year. At the macroeconomic level, the supporting factors have held up (with the euro's decline, falling crude oil prices and interest rates, plus the ECB's accommodative monetary policy). What’s more, recently published numbers on the economy have been reassuring,with the euro zone PMI composite up by nearly 1 bps to 53.5, and positive inflation numbers in Germany, which had all been negative a month earlier. In geopolitical terms, the peace pact between pro-Russian rebels and the Ukraine offers some hope, but requires vigilance. Tensions between the new Greek government and European authorities did not hurt the market uptrend, and seemed to be fading gradually by the month end. Meanwhile, corporate earnings reports have proved reassuring. Restructuring projects carried out in recent years have helped sustain profitability despite a lack of growth —or even through a drop in sales. This promises strong operating leverage when volumes finally start to grow. Investment spending could also see a catch-up effect after the restraint of recent years. Within the equity compartment, the only movement we made this month was to sell the position in GdF Suez. While in the credit compartment, we took part in the primary market issues for Picard, Gtech, Viridian,Platform Specialty and Ziggo, plus TDC’s hybrid tranche. March The impact of the new round of quantitative easing, launched by the ECB in January, has been spectacular. It has pushed the yield curve down even further than sovereign yields, to score a double-whammy that is highly positive for the euro zone —at once lowering the euro and reducing the cost of capital. The euro’s fall has relayed the monetary policy impact very quickly, both to activity levels and inflation. The reduced cost of capital has created conditions that favour a recovery in investment. Under these conditions, economic indicators are continuing to improve, as is evidenced by growth prospect upgrades for the region, with a consensus that is probably running late. The impact of micro and macro effects favouring the euro zone (on the euro, oil prices, lower interest rates and less fiscal austerity) is reflected in the earnings upgrades. These have turned positive in the euro zone (except in the energy sector) for the first time since early 2011. The equity market’s continued rise since March has taken the quarter’s growth to nearly 20%. The market seems largely to have priced in these stimulus effects and now needs to find new vectors. This prompted us to sell our well valued and high visibility securities (Reed Elsevier, Heineken, Danone, Compass) and those of lower quality (Neopost, Lagardère, Telefonica Deutschland) to reinvest in two new positions, Informa and Eutelsat, taking the equity position to 22%. After February’s rapid credit spread tightening, the strong flow of new issues had a slight impact on risk premiums in March. Companies have continued to take advantage of the positive climate to (i) refinance with long maturities and (ii) finance their acquisitions. In this climate, we took part in Valéant’s primary market issue (US pharmaceuticals). We also took positions on primary issues by Repsol and Air France. At last, we have taken advantage of the relatively greater increase in peripheral spreads to initiate a hybrid debt position on Fenosa, owned by Spain’s Gas Natural. In addition, we reduced our positions on a number of vulnerable issuers and those at risk of re-leveraging, such as Selecta and R&R Ice Cream. April Recent business indicators reflect market sentiment following a first quarter of strong growth: April’s numbers were disappointing, but this is because expectations probably rose too far in recent months. In other words, the recovery is still in tact; it’s only the rate of acceleration that slowed in April. The movements seen on the forex and bond markets probably also reflect an increasing tendency to unwind profit-making positions, rather than any more fundamental triggers. The bond market has become very pricey and volatile, but the ECB’s intervention programme is still making the headlines. When it comes to stock-picking, the challenge is now to distinguish a margin improvement —driven by oil, forex and bond rates (so often well priced-in by the market) —from whatever arises through organic growth, which is surprising and unexpected on the market. The market’s second support comes from M&A, which is accelerating in Europe (for example with Nokia/Alcatel and Shell/BG), with deals often driven by US players taking advantage of the weak euro (Fedex bidding for TNT or IPO Logistics’ play for Norbert Dentressangle). There were no movements in the portfolio’s equity compartment during the month. In the credit compartment, we took part in high grade primary issues for Progroup (packaging), Matterhorn (telecoms), Elis (industrial laundry), ZF Friedrichshafen (auto equipment), SPCM (chemicals) and a hybrid bond for Eurofins Scientific (certification).

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Income Europe (continued) May For the first time since 2010, quarterly growth was positive in all four of the euro zone’s largest economies at the same time. This shows further growth in the recovery, particularly noticeable amongst the laggards, such as France and Italy. The impact of lower oil prices, interest rates and the euro —already seen in corporate profit margins —should now start to show through in sales. This in turn should have a strong leverage effect on companies, which have restructured since the beginning of the crisis. Meanwhile, the ECB has demonstrated its determination to keep the euro from appreciating again, which should help preserve the positive environment from which business is benefiting.What’s more, the ongoing recovery in bank lending should eventually lead to accelerating investment, which, while not visible at this stage, could reduce the spectacular lag generated since the crisis began. Further stabilisation in bond and forex markets would be very welcome news for the equity markets. New positions were established in Korian-Medica, GTT, Nexity and ING. Royal Dutch Shell was also strengthened. The high valuation levels reached by Amadeus prompted us to cash in on the position. Siemens,however, was sold for its weak fundamentals. The corporate bond market, and, in particular, its high yield segment, coped rather well with the pressure witnessed in late April/early May on sovereign bond rates. New positions were initiated on stable funding via the primary market in Mat. These included Europcar 5.75% dated 2022 and Progroup 5.125% dated 2012. Meanwhile, we strengthened a number of positions that we felt to have good upside potential on their medium-term credit profile, including Celanese 3.25% dated 2019, ESL 3.625% 2023 and Valeant 4.5% 2023. The position on Oi Brazil (4.625%2020) was sold due to a lack of visibility over the telecom sector’s future in Brazil, and the company’s cash generation. June Two risk factors prompted us to reduce the portfolio’s equity exposure from the end of March: a sovereign debt market in the euro zone hovering at zero or even negative yield, and Greek political risk. Elimination of deflation risk and ‘secular’ (chronic) stagnation in the euro zone has helped to reduce the risk of sovereign debt bubbling with interest rates moving closer to their equilibrium point. It’s also evidence that the ECB’s programme is proving effective, and the euro zone’s economic recovery is tangible. The second factor, the dramatisation of the Greek financial crisis, instead of its resolution, seems to have been partially priced-in with the market downturn. Accordingly, we reinvested on the conviction that the current recovery is not threatened by a contagion effect. In contrast to summer 2011, which hit the cyclical recovery with the emergence of a sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone, the ECB has provided safety nets. Also, while the support of global growth is no longer there, the triple shock (currency +interest rates + oil prices) has had a powerful effect on domestic demand, as evidenced by the latest activity indicators, with the PMI at its highest since June 2011. There’s further evidence in the accelerating M&A cycle in Europe and attractive terms of financing for companies in the euro zone, even after the return to normal seen in long-term yields. In the equity compartment, we re-opened a position on Bouygues, added Nokia to the portfolio and strengthened our positions on MunichRe, Deutsche Telekom, Coface and Alstom. Within the credit compartment, we took part in the following new issues: Antolin 2022 (automotive equipment), Sealed Air 2023 (packaging), Oi Brasil (Telecoms) and Douglas 2022 (retail distribution). And, turning to financials, we sold a UBS Tier 1 at 7.152%. July The equity market has recovered most of the losses resulting from the resurgent Greek crisis. While Greece remains a problem, the ECB has demonstrated its ability to limit contagion risk and also its readiness to intervene if the risk materialises. This also applies if there’s a US shift to monetary tightening, which would ensure a relative decoupling between long rates in the euro zone and the United States. Instead, risk has migrated suddenly to China, shaken by its bursting market bubble and a more structural slowdown in its growth rate. This has persuaded us to maintain a strong bias towards stocks with low exposure to emerging markets. As a result sovereign rates have been easing with the slowdown in China and falling oil prices; while credit has tightened as the stress of the Greek crisis eases. But the main lesson of the Greek crisis is that it has not put the euro zone recovery into jeopardy. Rather, the positive external double-shock (the drop in the euro and oil prices) has had an impact, which is set to continue at full force in 2016 and 2017. Zero-rate monetary policies and less restrictive budgetary tactics are also becoming more expansionary inputs. And the credit cycle is now well underway: the precursor to an investment recovery cycle that should make up for the under-investment building up since 2008. With the support of this euro zone recovery, per share earnings growth —running at 10% -15% in 2015 —seems set to keep up that pace in 2016, too. Turning to equities, we have exited two financial stocks in the wake of strong performances since the beginning of the year (Deutsche Börse and ING). Meanwhile, Engie has been brought into the portfolio for its 5.7% yield and strong balance sheet. Looking at credit, the reopening of the primary market has allowed new names to enter, including Verallia, Ibercajas, Dufry and Softbank. Reductions have been made on cyclical companies such as Bombardier and Faurecia, while those on Kaufman & Broad and Mapfre were strengthened.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Income Europe (continued) August The equity markets came unstuck on two uncertainties: in China, over the credibility of Chinese economic policy (namely its management of the equity markets and the depreciation of the renminbi), with a doubt as to the level of China’s growth; and in the United States on the relevance of the Fed’s strategy, evidently wavering as to when its rate hike should kick in. August’s turbulence was preceded by renewed commodities weakness, which rather quickly became the self-sustaining theme of a hard landing in China, rather than a stimulus for global growth. Our conviction over solid EPS growth in the euro zone in 2015 and 2016 was based on the positive support of three factors in the New Year: a climate of low interest rates, cheaper commodities (including oil), and a weaker euro, particularly against the US dollar. Nor has August cast these prospects into doubt! All three clearly remain positive, with no braking effect on global growth (though without the acceleration first expected). This prompted us to maintain our domestic bias, while applying a conservative approach to stocks with emerging market exposure (to China and its commodity providers). The equity compartment has been raised to 26% by strengthening domestic stocks such as Bouygues, Engie, Pearson, MunichRe and Orange, or some that had come under focused attack in the correction, such as GSK and Inchcape. The credit compartment dipped slightly in August. We reduced exposure to a number of US corporate issuers with high USD exposure (Jarden, Darling), and also scaled back on base metals (Arcelor Mittal, Constellium). Meanwhile, we strengthened a number of specific positions that had suffered in the period when liquidity was limited and credit spreads widened (Bombardier, Obrascon, Heat Exchangers). We also stepped up duration on the Axa exposure to capture the widening credit spread. September September saw risky assets underperforming under the double-whammy of a downgrade to global growth (given a reduced contribution from China and from its commodity suppliers), and hesitation on the part of the US Federal Reserve over its monetary tightening policy. The market reading, with less growth (worldwide) and lower inflation, was negative for both the equity and credit markets. Our view is that growth remains real in the euro zone, because the recovery is domestic, buoyed by the triple effect of low oil prices, the euro exchange rate, and interest rates. What’s more, there’s less fiscal austerity here and a credit recovery —which has prompted us to focus on companies benefiting from the domestic recovery in the euro zone —with markets back at 13.5x PE 12 months ahead and with EPS growth momentum in the euro zone that has mostly kept above 10% for 2015. The emerging market positions have accordingly been sold (Inchcape, Telefonica). The credit market in particular has been struggling since late August. Unlike the US credit market, which has seen spreads widening almost everywhere, the euro market is facing pressure in a number of very specific sectors. These are: cable operators with telecoms M&A drying up, and issues encountered by the operator Altice in fund raising; the automotive sector, especially component makers with the VW bombshell; and the raw materials and oil sectors,amplified by Glencore’s woes. Nevertheless, the strength of the regional recovery means we can rule out a scenario of rising default rates. Moreover, the current yields offered by the credit market in a low interest rate environment are making this asset class attractive —and have prompted us maintain exposure at 75%. On the primary market, we took part in HSBC’s AT1 Coco launch in September, reduced some cyclical positions (Constellium, Repsol), and raised exposure to some quality paper that was less global (Telenet, Cellnex). October October saw a marked recovery, correcting the excess pessimism in the euro zone that almost wiped out the year’s gains. The ECB’s statements (that it may well extend QE in duration and assets, or even lower its deposit rate) have drawn attention back to its vision of both a durable low-interest scenario and a low-euro environment. In the process, improving euro zone activity indicators have strengthened the credibility of the Low rate/Low euro/Low oil-price configuration. Quarterly earnings reports confirmed a split between global securities (impacted by the slowdown in the global growth cycle), and other sectors benefiting from the euro zone cycle. The latter have convinced us of their upside potential. Drastically restructured over the years, these stocks can now benefit from volume effects, whether in the banking sector (with the credit recovery), in construction, or at French carmakers –to name but a few sectors where recovery is running behind, but is definitely still on track! Given this situation, Deutsche Post was removed from the equity compartment. Credit spreads also benefited from October’s catch-up effect. Turning to corporate bonds, the BB-rated segment, with its relatively higher duration component, posted the best performance. In an environment with a somewhat limited supply of primary issues, October’s in-flows have increased the attraction of high yield paper on the secondary market. We strengthened our positions on Belden Inc and Ceramtec over the period, sold our positions on Valeant and OI Brazil, and took part in new issues for BHP Billiton, Interoute and Verisure. In the financials compartment, subordinated insurance issues out-ran the market this month, registering a performance of nearly +3% and tightening 50 bps. We also took part in Generali’s new subordinated issue.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Income Europe (continued) November The market remains under the sway of central banks, with the ECB’s growing resolve to address the divergence in monetary policy and avoid the risk of contagion in Europe while the Federal Reserve prepares to raise US interest rates. The ECB’s statements cite possible measures to enhance monetary policy easing, highlighting in particular its determination to strengthen the credibility of its inflation target. The ‘whatever it takes’ approach is helping to compensate for a mixed reporting season by providing a positive framework for the momentum behind corporate earnings growth. This includes even lower rates, for a longer time; and a euro that declines naturally, in a climate of falling oil prices. Since the summer, the market has done well at pricing in the prospect of slower global growth. However, it remains conservative about the euro zone’s recovery potential. While it is true that we see no real cyclical acceleration, despite the support of an oil counter-shock and massive monetary reflation, we reckon the cycle is not unwinding: in fact, it has only just begun. This underlines our portfolio construction, which concentrates on European domestic stocks, particularly those offering strong visibility over their ability to pay dividends in a low interest-rate environment. Accordingly, we initiated positions on KPN and Euler-Hermès while strengthening Nexity and Korian-Medica. Meanwhile, we took our profits on Deutsche Telekom, LVMH and Ryanair. Pearson was sold, as it no longer met our performance criteria. The portfolio’s AT1 weighting on NP and KBC was raised by 1% during the month. Turning to corporate credit, we took some of the profits on the BHP hybrid. We participated in the Worldpay and Autodis issues, and strengthened our positions on Nova Fives, Sealed Air and Softbank. December December was dominated by central bank decisions. These included measures announced by ECB which, though deemed insufficient by a market with expectations running too high, will contribute considerably to monetary policy easing. This move halted the euro’s decline against the USD, making it easier for the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates by reducing the overly restrictive impact of a sharp rise in the dollar. A further fall in oil prices, after the long slide that began in summer 2014, was the second key factor in shaping December. While the global environment remains negative (with deflation and devaluation in emerging markets and the US credit market deteriorating), the low interest rate context, weak euro and depressed commodity prices remain highly positive in terms of support for earnings in the euro zone. Nevertheless, the market’s excessive optimism on the eve of the ECB meeting prompted us to cover half the equity exposure from the beginning of the month. This cover was gradually reduced to end the month with 21% net equity exposure. In the credit compartment, we took part in the primary market’s issues of Swissport 2021, Ball 2020 and 2023, plus the Progroup 2021 tap, while buying the Bombardier 2021 bond on the secondary market. Turning to financials, we reduced a number of ageing T1s with yields that are now too low. Edmond de Rothschild Fund – Premiumsphere Over the period from March 2015 to March 2016, Fund EdR Premiumsphere has faced multiple headwinds. With the arrival of Xi at the throne, China started its long journey of anti-corruption, from Macau gaming, Swiss watch to German luxury cars. Despite continuing decline of VIP GGR (gross gaming revenue), Las Vegas Sands, best positioned within mass gaming market, expects GGR stabilization and further gaining from the Parisian Opening in September 2016. Watch market is still under pressure, with recent trends in Swiss watch data negative across all price points. Swatch continues to invest in its brands, such as Omega and James Bond launch, touch watch and payment watch, promising long-term growth. Richemont, despite half of sales exposed to watches, benefited from strength of jewelry, supported by strong pricing power, control of distribution channel, and most recently change of management at Cartier. At the Geneva Motor show, despite 2015 being a record year, management sounds confident as to 2016 outlook. BMW expects to deliver another year of record sales, while growth will rise slightly. As to Daimler, it has been able to lift net pricing globally with strong sales in China and potential for further recovery in Europe. Focus will be on electric cars and digitalization for future expansion. On the other side of Pacific, we have seen an extremely warm winter, together with US dollar appreciation, penalizing international tourism in the land of Uncle Sam. Thus, US department stores went through an excessive correction over the period; however, we remain confident in Macy’s turnaround potential, supported by its strong balance sheet, cash flows and solid dividend yield of ~4.6%, in addition to eventual upside from real estate gains. Meanwhile, brands are going through inventory clearance ahead of a potential recovery year. Ralph Lauren’s new management, led by CEO Stephan Larsson, remains confident in earnings stabilization, with the help of cost-cutting and supply chain speeding up. Overall, we remain convinced that companies with strong brand and disciplined distribution will be able to deliver sustainable growth and superior profitability driven by world wealth expansion.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Selective Europe
It was a challenging first quarter (31/03/2015–30/06/2015) on the European markets, primarily due to a sharp fall in June. The indices lost part of the 16% gain accumulated at the end of the first quarter. Contradictions about Greece weighed on the market throughout June, in the hope of an agreement that ultimately failed to materialise. However, from a macroeconomic standpoint, the extension of the ECB’s QE policy (until September 2016) turned out to be effective both in terms of inflation, and the lack of any contagion from Greece. The recovery in the eurozone continued to be headline news. PMI indices in the eurozone posted sequential growth in June (54.1 compared with 53.6 in May, while growth in France and Germany picked up in June). Exposure to the domestic European cycle therefore remained valid.
The trend in the first-quarter results announced was favourable, with organic growth rates that were up for consumer stocks (top-line growth was often better than expected). The recovery in sales volumes among automotive stocks appeared to be sustainable. The sector, which was still the top performer for the year, reported results that were above expectations. The positive currency impact began to be reflected in organic growth. The retail, travel, leisure, and media sectors all performed well. Upward revisions to growth prospects emerged, especially for consumer stocks. European technology and capital goods stocks were supported by a changing competitive situation in the United States (merger between US players).
The second quarter (30/06/2015–30/09/2015) saw a further decline of more than 9% after a terrible performance in August (one of the worst months in terms of market performance since 2008, with a loss of 8.5% across all sectors) and peaks and troughs in September, in what was clearly a downward trend.
Concerns about Greece now appear to be behind us, following the approval of a third international bailout plan by the Greek parliament in July. Following a majority “no” vote in the Greek referendum, Alexis Tsipras presented new draft reforms, which were approved by the parliament, and enabled the country to receive emergency assistance and to reopen its banks. The credit cycle was well underway in the eurozone, according to the ECB survey, which highlighted the strongest improvement in lending conditions in Europe since 2006, which was very encouraging for domestic demand. The major concern, which originated in China, following three successive devaluations of the yuan, was that of a more sluggish growth in the region’s economy (the reported PMI fell during the last two months), which would put pressure on all stocks, and especially on export companies (commodities, automotive manufacturers and luxury goods). Good European macroeconomic statistics went unnoticed: the IFO index in Germany (which was above expectations in September) and the INSEE index for manufacturing in France (which reached its highest point since August 2011).
The quarter was characterised by a large number of publications: the majority of results announced were in line with or better than expectations, thus demonstrating the benefits derived from the weak euro compared to the first quarter of 2014. The second quarter results announced by European companies were good, and included many positive surprises. Over 60% of companies reported results above expectations, thanks to positive currency effects, and a better trend in the revenues and profits generated in the eurozone. Particularly worthy of mention are Airbus, Nokia and Peugeot, which were strong in terms of both margins and cash generation. However, a few companies revised down their annual forecasts, due to uncertainties over the Chinese economy (Volkswagen, Schneider). The Volkswagen scandal (the company was accused of fitting its vehicles with rigged anti-pollution software) dragged all automotive stocks down with it. However, car manufacturers appeared relaxed about their growth prospects at the Frankfurt Motor Show (especially those manufacturers with European outlets like Renault). Discretionary consumption posted one of the rare increases during the month (Richemont, in particular, published good results).
Things were looking up in the third quarter of the year (30/09/2015–31/12/2015), with a rise of almost 5%. European markets rose on the fringe of indications from central banks that remained very accommodating in Europe. Mario Draghi suggested that the European Central Bank is ready to act to support the eurozone and to combat the prevailing weak inflation. In early December, the news around the ECB’s announcement (less accommodating than expected as regards the pace of purchases and the very weak fall in the deposit rate) in a climate of ever-decreasing oil prices (to below the symbolic threshold of $40 per barrel) wiped out some of the progress made by European markets (in the absence of an end-of-year rally, European indices posted falls of more than 5% over the month for the MSCI Europe). The market bounced back in the second half of the month based on good manufacturing PMI figures in Europe (up at 53.1).
Over the last three months of 2015, earnings reports confirmed trends already anticipated during the previous quarter. In particular, difficulties remain on emerging exposures (there were disappointments on Accor, Casino and Edenred in Brazil, and Carrefour and Burberry in China). The most cyclical sectors, commodities, energy and construction were the most heavily penalised. In the automotive sector, figures were still very good in terms of both registrations and volumes. The insurance and

telecoms sectors remained robust with good results for ING and Scor, Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom. The luxury sector (particularly French stocks such as LVMH and Hermès), hotels/leisure and airlines, were affected by international tensions after the Paris attacks. Among the pleasant surprises, promising figures were reported by Airbus, and no major concerns were voiced on emerging markets. Daimler, Nokia and Heineken published figures that were well above expectations in terms of volumes, prices and margins.
On the European markets, the first quarter of 2016 (31/12/2015–31/03/2016) was characterised by the actions of the central banks, as had been the case at the end of the previous year. However, oil prices also had a significant influence, impacted by fears of a slowdown of global growth in the wake of weakness in China. December’s downward trend continued throughout the first two months of the year. The market reached a low point for the year on 11 February. The measures announced by Mario Draghi (particularly the right to buy back corporate bonds) supported the market in March, allowing for an increase in European indices, although this rise was not enough to offset the first two months of the year.
The most cyclical companies, linked to commodities and energy, were most severely affected by these fears. Banks remain under pressure, as uncertainties over banking regulation, exposure to the oil sector and publications of disappointing results (UBS, Société Générale, Crédit Suisse, HSBC) hindered the sector, which posted one of the sharpest declines since the start of the year. Results were generally reassuring for stocks exposed to the world economy in the luxury, automotive and aerospace sectors. Company profits put up more resistance in the eurozone than in the rest of Europe. M&A activity began at a slower pace than in 2015, but the consolidation of the telecoms sector in Europe led to a great deal of movement. Vivendi continued to cross new thresholds: it now holds 15% of the capital of Ubisoft and a 25% stake in Telecom Italia, making it the company’s largest shareholder. This decision led to the resignation of the CEO of Telecom Italia due to a difference of opinion with Vincent Bolloré regarding strategic decisions. In France, the merger between Orange and Bouygues Telecom, which had appeared to be making good progress, collapsed at a very advanced stage of negotiations between the two groups. In other sectors, the Chinese hotel group Jin Jiang increased its stake in Accor to almost 11%. At Axa, Chairman and Chief Executive Henri de Castries announced that he would leave his position on 1 September, to be replaced by a dual management structure.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - US Value & Yield April 2015 The US equity markets recorded a slight upturn during the month in local currency. The pace of growth in the US economy slowed down temporarily, as demonstrated by GDP that was up by just 0.2% year on year for the first quarter. Retail sales did not receive the expected boost, as US consumers temporarily chose to save rather than spend. The Federal Reserve, while acknowledging a modest recovery, expects that consumers will continue to save during the year. Meanwhile, the ISM manufacturing and non-manufacturing indexes continued to expand, to 51.5 and 56.5 respectively. Household and business confidence remained high. The Fund’s performance during the month was relatively in line with the S&P 500 index. Overall, the earnings reporting season went smoothly for the companies in the portfolio, with a rate of positive surprises of well above 75% thus far. Two new companies joined the Fund: Bombardier in the aerospace sector and Realogy in the property sector. May 2015 The US equity markets continued to grow during the month in local currency. The property market showed signs of improvement, with housing starts up by more than 20% in April, and applications for building permits and housing sales on an upward trend. The US private sector created 213,000 jobs in April and the unemployment rate stood at 5.4%. Household and business confidence indicators remained high, while the ISM manufacturing and non-manufacturing indexes continued to expand. Against this backdrop, a rise in key interest rates by the end of the year seemed far more likely. M&A activity remained buoyant, especially in telecommunications, industrial conglomerates and semiconductors. The Fund’s clear positioning and its selection of financial stocks had a highly positive impact on performance. However, this was more than offset by the weakness of the technology sector with some disappointing results from companies such as NetApp. The most significant dispersions in performance were observed in the materials sector, with a rise of almost 20% for Louisiana Pacific during the month being counterbalanced by a decline of close to 20% for Teck Resources. We sold off the position on United Health during the month following the stock’s excellent performance. June 2015 The US equity markets declined in June. The market trend reflected the concerns about the international economy, especially Greece and China. The economic figures published over the period shed more light on American growth, with positive surprises from household consumption and the property sector, for sales of both new and old houses alike. During the month, we took advantage of the collapse of Michael Kors’ share price to take up a position on a brand which is now trading at a very high discount despite strong international growth potential. We slightly reduced our positions on Bank of America and Bank of New York Mellon to maintain the constant weight following growth in the sector. July 2015 There was a spike in volatility in July, fuelled by the risk of Grexit and the bursting of the stock exchange bubble in China. Despite some encouraging data from the US economy, especially on the employment and real-estate fronts, cyclical stocks continued their sharp downward trend. Admittedly, economic growth, which we expected to be stronger than at present, is not enough to alter inflation expectations and therefore makes growth stocks with a visible return still attractive. Against this background, risk aversion gained some ground and the Fund markedly underperformed its benchmark index. The market disregarded valuations, as low-valued companies were subject to increasing discounts while the premiums of high-growth companies gained more value. Despite a season of rather encouraging results for most of our stocks, the fundamental approach did not appear profitable at the time. Investors turned to defensive and growth stocks in their droves, leaving aside stocks whose market performance had not gained ground since the start of the year. We found these differences in style difficult to sustain. There were few changes within the portfolio, apart from the return of Micron in semiconductors, whose recent sharp underperformance appeared to be linked to short-term concerns. August 2015 The US equity markets suffered from another upturn in volatility and fell sharply during the month. Day-to-day fluctuations returned to levels last seen in 2008–2009 during the last two weeks of the month. This market development was not related in any way to the health of the US economy: more than 1.45 million jobs were created since the start of the year in the private sector. GDP for the second quarter amounted to 3.7% versus the expected 3.2%. Although the sluggish Chinese economy was a source of concern, it is important to keep in mind that the United States drives its own growth and that its dependence on exports to China is low. Against this background, we remain confident about the growth potential of the US economy for the rest of the year. The Fund’s overall performance is in line with the rest of the market. The sectoral distribution dragged down performance in a climate where defensive stocks (telecoms, public services, consumer staples) were more resilient, as predicted by the trend in the last three months. With regard to stock-picking, of note was Sprint’s 40% growth over the period following the publication of robust results and the growing involvement of its parent company, SoftBank. The second-quarter
EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - US Value & Yield (continued) earnings reporting season was generally satisfactory for companies in the portfolio with a rate of positive surprises at close to 80%. There were no major changes within the Fund, except for the introduction of Quanta Services in the industrial sector and the sale of DR Horton, following the sharp rise in the company’s share price in anticipation of a recovery in the property market. September 2015 The markets fell sharply in September, in a context marked by a binary trend and exceptionally high daily fluctuations. The general confusion on the markets seemed to be primarily linked to concerns about the transition of the Chinese economy and the timeline for the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike. The Fed’s decision not to raise interest rates was considered as a sign of either uneasiness in the US economy or a stronger than expected slowdown in emerging countries. However, the US economy did not show any major signs of weakness during the month: GDP figures for the second quarter were revised upwards to 3.9% year on year versus 3.7% previously, retail sales continued to grow and the morale of entrepreneurs remained high. The only disappointment came from employment figures in the private sector in September, with 140,000 jobs created versus nearly 200,000 expected and a downward revision for the previous month. October 2015 The markets recovered strongly in October, comfortably making up for the losses of the previous month. The US economy continued to grow, albeit more modestly, without showing signs of further acceleration, as illustrated by the Q3 growth figure of 1.5% and the creation of more than 100,000 jobs in the private sector in September, which was below the 200,000 trend observed in the last twelve months. Consumption remained the missing link to fuelling the momentum of the US economy. The corporate earnings reporting season for the third quarter hinted – if we exclude the energy sector – at a slight increase in profits of 3–4% and a cautious stance from businesses, which was more a result of uncertainty about the global economy than a reflection on the US economy, which remained strong in most segments under consideration (excluding energy). During the month, the Fund recorded a sharp rise that was, on the whole, in line with its benchmark index. The sectoral positioning made a positive contribution, through overweighting on materials and the absence of consumer staples stocks. Financial stocks had a slight adverse impact as they did not fully match the market upturn. Up to this point in the year, nearly two-thirds of the companies in the portfolio had reported their earnings. The ratio of positive surprises to favourable stock market reaction stood at 68%, which is generally consistent with the season and very far from the highly pessimistic anticipations that plagued the companies in the portfolio in recent months. Positions in Owens Corning and Masco –both US property companies – were sold after rising sharply. November 2015 The US equity markets ended the month at levels that were mostly unchanged. US employment figures provided a positive surprise, with nearly 270,000 new jobs created in the private sector in October versus 169,000 expected. The previous month was also revised upwards. In this climate, market expectations, strengthened by statements from Fed members, tended towards an initial increase in rates before the end of the year. The main uncertainty was about the pace and scope of future increases. The only significant shadow over the US economy was the weak growth in consumption, as illustrated by retail sales, which were up by just 0.1% month on month. Nevertheless, US consumers benefited from a low unemployment rate, enhanced purchasing power owing to the low oil prices and a lukewarm recovery in demand for credit. During the month, the Fund recorded a significant underperformance compared to its benchmark index. The positive contribution of the sectoral distribution was more than offset by stock-picking, primarily in the technology and materials sectors, with stocks such as Qualcomm, NetApp, Owens-Illinois and, once again, Teck Resources declining by more than 10% over the period. In the energy sector, we exchanged our position on Baker Hughes for a position on Halliburton, which initiated the proposed merger between the two companies. We consider that in the medium term, a sector consolidated around two major players (Schlumberger and Halliburton/Baker) will emerge stronger from the current crisis, in a field where technology and expertise are becoming increasingly important. We sold our position on Best Buy in the consumer sector. December 2015 US markets ended December on a down note, amplified by the weakness of the dollar over the same period. The Federal Reserve raised its key interest rates for the first time since 2006, thereby sending a much-awaited confidence signal regarding the state of the US economy. This first symbolic increase should be followed by a gradual increase of rates by 100 or more basis points per year until 2018. However, such a move is dependent on the health of the US economy, according to the Fed, which has given itself some room for manoeuvre. The US economy continued to send out encouraging signals. The unemployment rate stood at 5%, housing starts and applications for building permits continued to yield positive surprises, with increases of around 10.5% and 11% respectively. Lastly, morale among small and mid-sized companies, as measured by the
EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - US Value & Yield (continued) NFIB, remained high. During the month, the Fund lagged significantly behind the S&P 500. The most resilient sectors were the traditionally defensive stocks – consumer staples, telecommunications and public services – in which we are either absent or significantly underexposed. We were also adversely affected by our overweighting on materials and financial stocks. Stock-picking also adversely impacted almost all sectors, which reflected a problem in approach and style in the absence of any specific news about stocks held in the portfolio. We significantly reduced our position on Zions Bancorporation due to the bank’s significant exposure to Texas and therefore indirectly to the energy sector. January 2016 The US market recorded a sharp fall in January, marking one of the worst starts to the year in half a century. Growing anxiety about the international outlook and more particularly the situation in China undermined the robust economic indicators reported by the US economy. Apart from industrial production which faltered as indicated by the ISM manufacturing index, consumer confidence figures, housing sales and the ISM services index were robust. In this anxious climate, the Fed’s statements, stressing the pragmatic nature of the timetable for future rate hikes, were interpreted as confirmation of the global economic downturn. The Fund declined sharply during the month. The banking sector, the Fund’s primary sector, returned to valuation levels close to those of 2008, despite greater structural strength, very low exposure to the Chinese economy and a more cautious stance linked to the effects of new regulations. For example, companies such as JP Morgan and Bank of America fell by 12% and 17% respectively. On a market dominated by automatic flows, the “mechanically defensive” sectors – telecoms, public services and consumer staples – recorded solid gains. Our marked underweighting on these sectors penalised us once again. During the month, Axiall, an industrial company held in the portfolio, rejected a takeover bid which valued the company with a 100% premium compared to its current stock market price, thereby driving the stock into positive territory. Axiall rejected the bid, because like many companies considered as “cyclical”, it currently trades at levels completely disconnected from its fundamentals and it has a significant potential for recovery. We therefore remained patient and did not make any major changes within the portfolio during the period. February 2016 February was particularly turbulent on the US equity markets, contrasting with the lack of significant change with regard to fundamentals. After a decline of more than 10% in mid-February, the markets eventually ended the month on a slight upturn. These erratic fluctuations reflected the misguided concerns of investors due to a lack of clear indications. For example, the start of the month was marked by fears of an industrial recession in the United States – linked to the oil complex – for which the decline in the ISM manufacturing index acted as a precursor. Reasonable job creation figures and consumer sentiment were not enough to allay fears. Figures for durable goods orders (up by 4.9% versus the expected +2.9%), industrial production (+0.9% versus +0.4% expected), and inflation restored some confidence, which should not have been lost in the first place. Despite the emotional roller coaster caused by market fluctuations, the actual situation of the US economy remained as follows: a modest but continuing recovery, a low unemployment rate, a positive net impact of low oil prices, a low dependency on exports to China and a banking sector which has never been more robust and cautious in the last 15 years. Against this background, the fall of banking stocks by more than 20% for no specific reason since the beginning of the year appeared disproportionate and would require a negative interest rate scenario to justify it. We felt that the recovery instigated in the second half of the month was just the beginning of a rebalancing process. In line with previous months, we made no major changes, except for the sale of Anthem after the stock’s robust market performance and that of EMC. The bid from Dell for EMC does not seem to leave much potential for increase given the latter’s conditions, especially regarding VMware. The Fund remained fully invested. March 2016 The US equity markets were up in March. Fears of a hypothetical industrial recession were dispelled in the light of the encouraging economic figures reported. Job creation in February continued with 230,000 new jobs in the private sector versus the 190,000 expected. Manufacturing activity was almost stable, as shown by the ISM manufacturing index at 49.5. At the same time, non-manufacturing activity continued to grow with an ISM index of 53.4. A novelty in March was the new direction taken by inflation anticipations, due in particular to the 2.3% increase in the consumer price index excluding energy and food. Despite all these positive indicators, the Federal Reserve refrained from raising interest rates, exercising great caution with respect to changes in the global economic climate. On the political front, a duel between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump seems increasingly likely.

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - US Value & Yield (continued) At this stage, it is still too early to evaluate the electoral proposals of both candidates, particularly on the Republican front where the party line remains confusing and sometimes contradictory. The Fund recorded a sharp increase over the period, driven by signs of a recovery on stocks unfairly neglected in recent months. We made no major changes to the portfolio during the period, other than to strengthen our position on Micron Technologies following the stock’s decline, as the company’s stock market price fell below the value of the assets, especially its strategic assets. We sold off our position on TDS in the telecommunications sector, as the current price war in the industry is a negative factor and we consider the company’s outlook without a strategic partnership to be limited. Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Europe Flexible (from January 22, 2016 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2016) As this Sub-Fund was launched at the end of the year under review, there are no relevant events. Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Global Healthcare EDR Global Healthcare suffered a significant correction between 30/3/2015 and 30/3/2016: the healthcare sector has been penalized by US presidential elections debates around the pricing of drugs and large pharmaceuticals companies and biotechnology firms underperformed; after several years of strong growth, Hillary Clinton comments following Valeant pricing policy triggered significant outflows. On the other hand, healthcare services and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) were more resilient as Obamacare reform keeps unfolding and the subsector is undergoing consolidation. There were a number of M&A deals which contributed to the fund performance even though the final approval by regulators is still pending. Finally the innovation cycle and new drugs approval will drive earnings growth for many biotechnology companies. Underpinned by deep-seated trends, the healthcare sector offers high visibility. It benefits from favourable economic, financial and demographical factors. Many sector companies have robust finances and strong cash generation, helping them boost shareholder returns and drive external growth. This is why there are so many mergers and acquisitions. The sector is currently trading on 15.5 times annual profits, below its historic mean of 16.5 times and in line with international equities as a whole (15.8 times). Against this backdrop, we remain convinced that healthcare offers robust long term growth potential as long as in-depth fundamental analysis is first carried out to isolate the companies with the best prospects. Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Global Value The trading year was punctuated by statistics from China, with concern and relief alternating as regards the risk of deflation related to the Chinese slowdown, by the actions of central banks to protect themselves from the slowdown and by macroeconomic figures reflecting the continuation of US growth at a moderate but robust pace. These factors led to significant fluctuations in oil and commodity prices and, to a lesser extent, exchange rates. April 2015 US statistics reflected a slowdown at the start of the year, with GDP up by 0.2% year-on-year for the first quarter. The Fed considered this slowdown to be “temporary” and continued to explore the possibility of a rate rise. Companies’ quarterly results posted growth in EPS of 3-5% on average, penalised by the dollar. In Europe, disappointing PMI surveys cast doubt on the strength of the recovery. However, GDP in the eurozone reached +1.4% for 2015, after growth of 0.5 pp already achieved in the first quarter, sustained by solid consumption. EdR Global Value underperformed its benchmark in April. The Fund was weighed down over the month by its high exposure to the automotive sector, while Kering’s performance reflected a difficult quarter. Similarly, in the industrial sector, securities in United Continental, Owens Corning and Mastec all disappointed. In the banking sector, overexposure to US banks at the expense of European banks weighed on the Fund. The strong increase in the oil sector benefited the Fund (Marathon Oil and Whiting Petroleum). Faurecia was sold and D.R. Horton reduced, following the sharp rise in these companies since the turn of the year, whilst our interest in ASUSTeK Computer was strengthened. We remained confident regarding the economic conditions in the US and the European recovery, vindicating the decision to expose the Fund to cyclical stocks.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Global Value (continued) May 2015 The US equity markets continued to progress during the month in the local currency, driven by the improvement in the property market, good job creation figures and favourable confidence indicators. In this environment, a rise in key interest rates by the end of the year seemed more than likely. M&A activity was sustained, especially in telecommunications, industrial conglomerates and semiconductors. The European equity markets posted a modest performance in May, shared between, on the one hand, the statements from the ECB announcing an acceleration in asset purchases by the summer, which helped to calm the bond markets, and, on the other, the rise in political risks following the good results achieved by Podemos in the Spanish local elections and crucial repayment deadlines arriving for the Greeks. The emerging equity markets were subject to profit-taking at the end of the month, at the same time as a depreciation of currencies, probably in anticipation of a rise in US rates. The Japanese market was sustained by better-than-expected GDP figures. The US portion of the Fund outperformed, driven by its exposure to the recovering property market and by the overrepresentation of banks. In contrast, the absence of Japanese securities, the poor performance of the Asian securities in the portfolio, and the underweighting of the British market were all unfavourable. Lastly, the technology sector recorded a few disappointments this month, as in the case of NetApp. June 2015 US economic figures confirmed their improvement during June. Job creation continued at a fast pace and there were encouraging signs of recovery in property construction. In Europe, markets moved in line with political news from Greece, ending the month on a sharp downturn following the announcement of the planned referendum. Against this uncertain background, emerging markets remained especially volatile, and fears were accentuated by disappointing economic news from China. The portfolio slightly outperformed its benchmark index over the period. US banks contributed positively whilst our exposure to emerging securities pegged back performance. We made a number of arbitrage trades on securities by continuing to reduce our automotive stocks (Michelin and Volkswagen) and telecoms holdings (Telecom Italia), and strengthening our exposure to the construction sector with Italcementi and aeronautics with Rolls Royce and Bombardier. July 2015 Concerns about the Chinese economy continued to impact the markets, following the publication at month end of the PMI Markit flash index for the manufacturing sector, down from 49.4 at the end of May to 48.2. In Europe, confidence indices in the eurozone rose to their highest annual levels following the signing of an agreement between Greece and its creditors. The first quarterly company results illustrated the benefits of a depreciated euro and cost-cutting efforts. Lastly, the US economy seemed to continue to accelerate as a result of the recovery of residential property and the fall in unemployment. Monetary tightening therefore appeared increasingly likely before the end of the year. In this climate of uncertainty on the pace of global growth, the markets further increased their focus on defensive sectors such as healthcare, basic consumption and public services, which achieved high valuation multiples, at the expense of industrial stocks; this led to significant underperformance by the Fund. Despite its underweighting, the energy sector had an impact on performance, on account of high beta stocks such as Whiting Petroleum. However, discretionary consumer stocks and US banks made a positive contribution to performance. From a geographical point of view, our exposure to emerging securities pegged back performance, whilst the overweighting of the eurozone was favourable. We took profits on Bayer and Siemens and sold Italcementi after the offer was announced. Michelin, Louisiana Pacific and Bombardier were strengthened on the back of diminishing prices. The takeover bid for Italcementi by HeidelbergCement with a premium of 60% illustrated the difference between the market valuation and the industrial value of certain securities. We remained convinced of the potential for catch-up in cyclical stocks, which were currently trading at a very significant discount, despite having strong prospects and good balance sheets. August 2015 Concerns about the Chinese economy generated historical volatility following the depreciation of the yuan and the publication of a disappointing PMI index. Oil and commodity prices reached new lows. The risks of contagion seemed overestimated. The US economy remained very well positioned, with the ISM manufacturing index at 52.7, an unemployment rate of 5.3%, sustained job creation and wage inflation of 2.3%. Consumer confidence remained high (at 101.5) and housing starts accelerated (1.2m year-on-year). The publication of year-on-year Q2 GDP growth of 3.7% caused markets to bounce back at month end. In Europe, the business climate continued to improve and the upturn in bank credits (up by 0.9% in July) made the scenario of a return of deflation unlikely. The political risk nevertheless remained high, with Greek, Spanish and Polish elections in forthcoming months. Despite all this positive news, doubts about the pace of global growth and the return of volatility further strengthened the focus on defensive sectors, at the expense of cyclical stocks. This had a particular impact on EdR Global Value, through three sectors: the energy sector suffered from an accelerated fall in oil prices and discretionary consumer stocks were held back by the perception of a Chinese slowdown, particularly European players operating in the luxury sector. Lastly, a correction was seen in financial stocks, reflecting the doubts over global economic health and

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Global Value (continued) postponement of the prospective rate rise. It should be remembered that the Fund’s direct exposure to China was limited to less than 2%. The devaluation of the Brazilian real affected the performance of the airline GOL. After the strong market correction, the Fund’s valuation discount compared to the market increased further, to 30%, with an average 2015 P/E of 11, a figure which had only been achieved in August 2011. September 2015 High volatility in equity markets and high-yield credit in September, boosted by a continued slowdown of the Chinese PMI index and the postponement of a rate rise by the Fed, highlighted the risk of a deterioration in financial conditions. EdR Global Value particularly suffered from this market panic. During September alone, eight portfolio positions fell by more than 25%, five of which related to the energy and materials sector. This behaviour was overstated and somewhat reminiscent of the crises of 2008 and 2011. However, we were not at all in the same situation; the fall in commodities in connection with the slowdown in Chinese demand had already been largely absorbed and did not represent a systemic crisis as with the two previous crises. The average valuation of portfolio securities was less than 11 times lower than 2016 results estimates, i.e. a discount of 30% compared to the value of the MSCI World index, an historically high level. Slightly negative news was used to sell large swathes of sectors, resulting in a lot of excess. The Volkswagen scandal weighed heavily on the performance of the stock, which fell 36% over the month, whilst concerns surrounding the level of provisions for nuclear decommissioning caused RWE to fall 25% over the period. The recovery of certain securities that saw excessive selling in previous months, such as Bombardier, which showed a 29% rise in September, illustrated the speed at which performance was returning in an environment of high volatility. In this context, we remained convinced of the potential for catch-up in our selection of cyclical stocks, which were currently trading at an historical discount, despite their strong prospects and good balance sheets. October 2015 Against a background of recovery in equity markets, fuelled by monetary policy announcements and the easing of fears about the Chinese economy, EdR Global Value performed in line with its index. The Fed half-opened the door to the possibility of a rate rise in December, which sent out a positive signal on the US economy, despite its showing no signs of renewed acceleration, as evidenced by the 1.5% GDP growth figure for the third quarter and by the creation of 100,000 private sector jobs in September (compared to 200,000 over the previous 12 months). Chinese GDP exceeded expectations, with a rise of 6.9% for the quarter, which enabled us to alleviate investors’ concerns. The plenary session of the Chinese communist party announced that it was counting on annual GDP growth of 6.5% in its next five-year plan. The European Central Bank set a date for increasing its asset purchase programme in December, with inflation remaining weak despite confirmed growth. The results season ended, allowing us to measure the health of US banks, to which the Fund is highly exposed, whilst numerous announcements of transactions in the IT segment supported the sector. US construction securities performed well, especially Masco and Louisiana Pacific. There was greater contrast in announcements in the industrial sector, with disappointment over Meggitt (aircraft maintenance). Faurecia, the European automotive OEM, heavily discounted despite prospects of improvement in its margins, went back into the Fund. November 2015 The equity markets continued their recovery, driven by a buoyant economic context and the accommodative policies of central banks. The upward revision of US GDP for the third quarter to 2.1% year-on-year and the 3% rise in durable goods in November confirmed our positive scenario for the region and the prospect – now backed by the consensus – of a Fed rate rise in December. European markets accelerated their performance at the end of the month, fuelled by the prospect of further accommodative action on the part of the ECB. Consumer confidence surveys and the PMI indices were close to their highs, at 54.4 for the eurozone Composite PMI. The terrorist attacks in Paris and the increase in tensions between Russia and Turkey did not hamper the rise. EdR Global Value took advantage of the recovery of US banks, which benefited from a rate rise, but the poor performance of some securities following disappointing quarterly results prevented the Fund from outperforming its benchmark. In the discretionary consumer sector, Swatch and Las Vegas Sands (casinos) securities suffered the consequences of the Chinese anti-corruption policy, whilst Macy’s was disadvantaged by the strength of the dollar. Furthermore, Rolls Royce published a fifth profit warning. Teck continued to be pegged back by the fall in commodities. However, Metro announced an increase in its dividend and Meggitt bounced back after the excessive correction of the previous month. ST Microelectronics recorded a strong performance, supported by the return to competitiveness linked to the fall in the euro. We took profits on Melia, Citrix

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Global Value (continued) and Nvidia. NH Hotels was introduced into the Fund, offering exposure to the European city-centre hotel cycle with significant operational and financial leverage. December 2015 The Fed’s rate rise confirmed its confidence in US growth and heralded a very gradual rise in rates. However, December saw a correction in equity markets, troubled by fears of a slowdown in emerging markets and the fall in commodity prices. The OPEC meeting concluded without reaching agreement on a production ceiling. The US economy nevertheless continued its favourable trajectory, with GDP growth for Q3 at 2.0% year on year, a Composite PMI at 53.5 for December and housing starts at 1.17 million year on year. In Europe, markets fell, disappointed by the actions of the European Central Bank. PMIs remained high, with the eurozone composite at 54.0 in December, still buoyed by Germany (54.9), Spain (56.2) and Italy (54.3). The Spanish elections generated a risk of instability, as with Portugal. Lastly, although feelings surrounding China remained negative, figures for industrial output, investments and power generation in November reflected something of a stabilisation in the economy. The fall in the markets was further reflected in a downturn in defensive sectors, whilst the effect of the drop in commodity prices was magnified in the industry and energy sectors. On this last point, the Fund’s exposure was limited to 5%. We did not introduce any new securities in December, in order to focus on a limited number of strong convictions. Securities of financial corporation CIT Group were sold, the price target having been reached, whilst the strengthening of Qualcomm, a mobile telephone equipment producer, sought to take advantage of a downturn at the beginning of the month. Exposure to US regional bank Zions Bancorp was greatly reduced. In this context, we remained convinced of the potential for catch-up in our selection of cyclical stocks, which were currently trading at an historical discount, despite their strong prospects and good balance sheets. January 2016 The fall in the oil price, fuelled by disappointing consumption statistics from the IEA and by the effective lifting of sanctions against Iran, seemed to have driven the equity markets. The pace of the Chinese slowdown was also the focus of concerns; GDP growth of 6.8% in the fourth quarter did not seem to substantiate a hard landing. US statistics were mixed, with disappointment at the rate of GDP growth (0.7% for Q4 on an annualised basis) and industrial output, whilst property held up well. Leading European indicators stayed at high levels. The central banks still seemed determined to maintain accommodative policies. The performance of EdR Global Value was poor in January: US financials corrected sharply, reflecting the prospect of recession, in spite of good results. A few special cases weighed on the Fund’s performance, particularly Bombardier, which was not selected by United, and Zoomlion, which made an offer for US company American Terex. The part of the Fund exposed to energy underperformed the market but the contribution was still sharply down, with independent producers having fallen further. We did not introduce any new securities but we sold off Roche, after a long run, and sold GOL, which represented high exposure to the risk of devaluation of the real. February 2016 Operational and regulatory concerns about the banks triggered panic mid-month, whilst statements with regard to oil generally drove the market, enabling a rise at month-end. Chinese statistics were quite reassuring on property, production prices and credit. In the United States, orders for durable goods rose by 4.9% in January, the strongest increase for a year, which was reassuring after the fall in the ISM manufacturing index to 48.6 and the 3.8% contraction in housing starts. In Europe, the leading ISM indicators showed a dip at the end of the month, particularly in their manufacturing component, but remained in expansion territory. Annual company results showed an aggregate increase in earnings per share for the year of 2% in the United States - due to the negative impact of the energy sector and the unfavourable currency effect - and a 7% increase in aggregate earnings in the eurozone. Although the recovery at the end of the month illustrated the potential for catch-up in the Fund, it still seemed too early to talk about sector rotation. We noted the positive contributions from commodities (Teck Resources, Mosaic and Allegheny), industrials (United Continental and Rolls Royce) and technology (NetApp and Qualcomm). The banking panic weighed on the Fund’s strategy in favour of US banks, whilst securities exposed to oil (Whiting and Marathon in particular) bore the brunt of concerns over their balance sheets, in a sector context of many capital increases. We remained convinced of the potential for catch-up in our selection of cyclical stocks, which were currently trading at an historical discount, despite their strong prospects and good balance sheets.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Global Value (continued) March 2016 In March, global equity markets continued a recovery that had started in mid-February, driven by the rise in commodities and oil and the stabilisation of the yuan. In the United States, the publication of encouraging job creation figures dissipated fears of recession. While the Federal Reserve refrained from raising its rates, inflation still seemed likely to accelerate. In Europe, the additional unconventional measures announced by Mario Draghi, although substantial, did not have the expected knock-on effect. Emerging markets led the rise, with the Brazilian index out in front. In China, the stabilisation in manufacturing was accompanied by a slowdown in deflation. These favourable developments reflected the tax and monetary incentives. The recovery of equity markets was driven in March by the materials and energy sectors, financials and industrials, whilst pharmaceuticals and basic consumption underperformed, signalling a significant sector rotation that was positive for the Fund. The doubling of Whiting Petroleum during the month, as well as the performance of Anadarko Petroleum and Tata Motors, illustrated the speed of catch-up when excessively pessimistic scenarios are set aside. We introduced two new securities into the Fund: Anadarko Petroleum, an oil exploration group that has very attractive assets in the United States and whose international assets are undervalued by the market, and ThyssenKrupp, an industrial conglomerate that should benefit from a revaluation of its capital goods division thanks to an improved outlook for steel in Europe. The position in Metlife was strengthened, with the group having been excessively disadvantaged by the risks of supervision by the Federal Reserve; we also increased exposure to Endo, a speciality pharmaceuticals group wrongly caught up in the turmoil at Valeant that could reap the benefit of new product development. Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Infrasphere
04/2015 April saw the USD suffering from renewed weakness, particularly against the EUR. The macroeconomic climate in the United States has tended to weaken, pushing back the likelihood of an initial interest rate hike in June. The US Federal Reserve has nevertheless maintained its capacity to act at any moment, thereby reducing visibility for the financial markets. The next round of economic data on the United States will be critical in determining whether the slowdown has been temporary or not. This environment has led to a correction in most equity markets. The decline was more pronounced in the US and less so in Europe, while the emerging region has come out on an uptrend. However, note India’s underperformance, which continues to trigger profit-taking, though without jeopardising the country’s outlook. The infrastructure sector’s decline therefore needs to be seen in this perspective. Among the companies most affected within the portfolio were (unsurprisingly) those based in India (including VA Tech Wabag, Gujarat Port, Larsen & Toubro). We also reduced selected positions, so India now represents 6% of the portfolio. Note, too, the sharp month-end correction dealt to Waste Management. The company, a US leader in waste management, has published results below expectations -- particularly in recycling -- due to negative currency effects. Its fundamentals remain strong and the company has reaffirmed its free cash-flow expectations for the year. Among the good performers, Guangdong Investment benefited from a solid performance by its water distribution business and a very strong rise by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Another good performance came from Eurotunnel, driven by a strong across-the-board increase in traffic volume. We nevertheless cashed in some of the profits after this big rise. 05/2015 Macroeconomic numbers for Europe (especially GDP) have been reassuring about the sustainability of the region’s recovery. The climate has benefited the market, which is also being fed by the ECB’s short-term boost in Quantitative Easing. In the United States, the figures were somewhat mixed. Numbers on employment and real estate are improving, but expansion is not as strong as in previous cycles, with GDP growth down in Q1. While the rate hike cycle is still expected to start in 2015, it remains conditional on improvement in the economy. Emerging markets came in for profit taking. As a theme, infrastructure ended down slightly over the month, with the sector somewhat neglected by the markets in the current climate. The prospect of rate hikes is putting a brake on yield stock performance, though we think the rise will remain moderate. The performance of midstream players (transport and storage of petroleum products) in North America this month — such as Pembina Pipeline, Keyera Facilities and Enterprise Products — has impacted the fund. The market has shown concern about converging price differentials between various product types, and the risk of a dip in volumes over the short term. Corporate earnings reports have reassured us regarding the strength of their business model. And the companies have continued to sign long-term pipeline supply contracts and to announce increases in their dividends. Rail freight companies were also hit by less-than-expected volume growth in Q1, partly due to the weather, but also to coal transport, so we have reduced exposure to this segment. Note the rebound recorded by Indian companies after the profit-taking that followed the beginning of the year.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Infrasphere (continued) 06/2015 The uncertainties over Greece have generated high volatility on the financial markets, and prompted a return of risk aversion that is penalising the equity markets. The MSCI World All Countries index made a -3.9% correction, which was greater in Europe (at -4.6% on the MSCI Europe), while the US region showed better resistance (-3.5% on the S&P 500). Emerging markets fell -4.1% on the MSCI EM (total return, EUR). Except for the Greek saga, economic indicators in the euro zone have continued to show signs of improvement in the economy. Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve still intends to raise its interest rates in 2015, but the recovery is not yet strong enough for a first increase. As a theme, Infrastructure fell in line with the market correction. Stocks in the utilities sector (GDF, Eversource, NextEra and Enel) in particular, have been badly hit. In contrast, note the positive performance of select emerging stocks (such as Aboitiz Power, Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, and Larsen & Tubro). Rubis also put in a noteworthy performance in a declining French market. A meeting with the company has reassured us that its business model was appropriate (storing petroleum products and distributing petroleum products in niche markets). Its recent acquisition of Eres in West Africa and a 71% stake in the Sara refinery in Martinique are part of this strategy, and are allowing the company to take on new dimensions. Debt remains under control (Net debt/Ebitda is 1.9x) and dividend policy remains unchanged. We have also increased the position on Severn Trent, in the UK water distribution sector. The regulatory environment was recently frozen for the next five years, resulting in improved long-term visibility. 07/2015 Having tracked the negotiations up and down, financial markets finally started to rebound following the pact between Greece and its creditors. The market upturn took place mainly in the developed countries, with Europe closing up +4% and the United States gaining +3.4%, in euros. Emerging markets lagged behind, losing -6% in the wake of China’s market correction. Plus, there was the negative impact of falling commodity prices on some of these markets, with Latin America leading the way down (-7.2%). In contrast, India, an oil importer, gained +3%. The economic picture remains mixed. In the United States, despite unemployment hitting a new low, average wages have not been increasing. This is unlikely to encourage the Federal Reserve to hike rates in September. The ECB has maintained its accommodative stance, and economic indicators point to a slowdown in growth for Europe. Meanwhile, despite further monetary easing in China, its economic performance remains mixed. As a theme, infrastructure came out in line with the MSCI AC World. Among the good performers were Vinci, which has benefited from an increase in orders and a sharp drop in its debt; and OMA (Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte) in Mexico, where operating profits climbed 29% in Q2 thanks to strong growth in passenger traffic and non-aeronautical revenues. And in Canada there’s also CN Railways which, despite a drop in traffic volume (due to low commodity markets), posted a further hike in productivity and an increase in its tariffs. In contrast, falling oil prices have impacted the performance of midstream companies like Pembina, Gibson or Enterprise Product Partners. Nevertheless, MPLX’s bid for MarkWest Energy Partners is testimony to the value of pipeline and hydrocarbon storage assets. We took our profits on MarkWest and Rubis following their strong respective performances. 08/2015 The surprise devaluation of the yuan reviving fear of a currency war, slowing growth across Asia and the uncertainties surrounding US monetary policy normalisation — all impacted heavily on investor sentiment in August. Global equities (MSCI AC World) corrected by -8.7% in EUR, the worst monthly performance since February 2009! Emerging markets were down -10.8%, underperforming developed countries for a fourth month in a row. Chinese equities lost -13.3%: the measures taken by the government to stabilise the market have hardly convinced investors, who are even more concerned since publication of the manufacturing PMI. While volatility has reached levels last seen at the end of 2011 which echo investors’ risk aversion, the infrastructure theme — being defensive by nature — performed well in August. The fund outperformed the MSCI AC World by nearly 1.4% in EUR. Given the prevailing climate, we decided to reduce our emerging market exposure. We have sold Larsen & Toubro since the stock’s good performance resulted in a high valuation, and we remain doubtful about capex acceleration in India. The profits on Kepco were also cashed-in following publication of excellent Q2 numbers, due to lower fuel costs, as well as Gujarat Pipavav, India’s port terminal operator, as the slowdown in international trade could impact container volume. In the developed countries, Rubis reported excellent sales for the first half, thanks to its distribution business, which has benefited from lower oil prices. What’s more, they helped offset the weakness in its storage activity. Also worth noting was the strong performance at Vinci which, thanks to its defensive profile and strong cash-flow generation, lost only -1.7% in August. The increase in airport and road traffic this summer, and a soft-landing for the contracting business suggests the company has bright prospects.

Edmond de Rothschild Fund – Infrasphere (continued) 09/2015 Investors were looking forward keenly to September, with some expecting an end to accommodative monetary policy in the United States. But in the end, the US Federal Reserve put the rate hike on hold, citing the deterioration in the global economy, and China’s in particular. The flash Caixin PMI index reached its lowest level since March 2009 (at 47 in September) and industrial profits dropped (-8.8% y-o-y in August) recording the biggest drop in four years — both sources of anxiety that further confirm the slowdown in China. With investors fearing contagion to the world’s economy, global equities continued their pace after August’s sharp fall, yielding -3.6% in September (MSCI AC World EUR). Unsurprisingly, emerging markets underperformed, considerably impacted by Latin America and more specifically the politico-economic crisis in Brazil, highlighted by S&P’s downgrade to its debt. Given this very nervous environment, infrastructure has performed relatively well as a theme, costing the fund just -2.2% against the MSCI AC World’s -3.3% slide. In this highly volatile climate, two emerging stocks recorded the best performances: Guangdong Investment climbing +10.1% in euros, benefiting from the high visibility of its exclusive right to supply Hong Kong with water, and Gujarat Pipavav, which rebounded +10.3% in September, after underperforming since April. Rubis (+5%), which reported excellent results at August’s end, announced that it would be merging its Easigas LPG activities in Southern Africa with Reatile Gaz. Airport consolidation is in full swing in Europe, with Fraport very close to finalising its acquisition of the Greek regional airports, while France’s ADP (-1%) preferred to focus on complex acquisition projects requiring the construction of a new terminal. Engie (-9.7%) issued a profit warning after a yet another delay in its programme to restart both its Belgian nuclear reactors in 2016, with the Belgian regulator not yet having given its green light. 10/2015 Global markets climbed significantly in October, up 9% on the MSCI World AC in euros. Growth was relatively uniform across the major geographic regions, while being slightly stronger in Europe and the United States compared with the emerging world. This development marks a partial recovery in risk appetite in the wake of announcements made by the central banks. The ECB suggested that new accommodative measures to support the economy were possible, while China's central bank has continued to lower its interest rates (making its sixth cut in less than a year), and encourage infrastructure projects. In the United States, the status quo has continued, with a first rate hike once again envisaged for the year end. In this environment, the fund gained more than 5%. It did well in particular from a rebound in midstream companies in North America (Enterprise Product Partners and Keyera Facilities in particular), which had been heavily penalised by the market since the beginning of the year. Canadian National Railways has benefited from a rise in prices which, combined with productivity gains, has more than offset weaker volumes. In contrast, Gujarat Pipapav Port has been penalised by the slowdown in shipping, which has caused some margin shrinkage. Within the fund, we exited Secure Energy Services. The stock has already corrected sharply last year, but its oil industry investment business is expected to remain lack-lustre in the medium term. A position was initiated on Jasa Marga, an Indonesian highway operator. The company should benefit from a major new highway construction programme aiming to double the existing network by 2018. We took some of our profits on Pennon following its agreement to acquire Bournemouth Water, and on ADP, which, having benefited from considerable growth in air traffic, now needs to make significant investments. 11/2015 After October’s strong rebound, equity markets consolidated in November by close to 1% in USD (+3.3% in EUR). While the likelihood that the US Federal Reserve will hike its rates in December rose sharply, the minutes released by its FOMC nevertheless stressed that the pace of the upcoming increases would be very gradual. The euro appreciated more than 4% over the period, while signs of monetary policy divergences between the United States and Europe are evident. Unsurprisingly, in a situation where the USD has been on the rise, emerging markets and commodities have underperformed. Infrastructure, as a theme, was also corrected in this climate of rising US bond yields. The fund was up slightly, gaining +0.6% in November (in euros). We have initiated two new positions, Eiffage and Airports of Thailand (AOT). Like Vinci (our top portfolio company), Eiffage appears to have reached a low in its construction activities. On its motorway concessions (around 65% of operating income), traffic remains strong (up by about +3% in 2015) and should remain buoyant in 2016. Margins are continuing to improve (+75% for the APRR franchise). But above all it was paying down APRR’s maturing debt that allowed the company to reduce its financial cost and increase cash generation. Eiffage is also expected to raise its dividend to a sustainable level over time. AOT operates six airports in Thailand, including Bangkok International (Suvarnabhumi) and Phuket. Traffic should continue to benefit from tourism, in particular from China and Japan, but also with the growth of low-cost companies. The Thai government has implemented measures that should contribute to the growth of tourism. We cashed in our profits on Pennon after the stock’s strong performance, and those on Severn Trent, too. Faced with doubts over Eurotunnel’s acquisition strategy (regarding a possible stake in London City Airport), we have reduced our exposure to it.

Edmond de Rothschild Fund – Infrasphere (continued) 12/2015 Global equity markets ended the year on a negative note, dropping more than -1.9% (or -4.7% in euros) in December. Above all, the month was marked by the first US rate hike since 2006. Nevertheless, Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen confirmed that the pace of policy normalisation would be gradual. The euro appreciated +2.9% in response to the ECB's announcements, which were deemed surprisingly measured by the markets. Oil prices remained under pressure, with Opec members failing to reach an agreement regarding a potential cut in output at their biannual meeting. Given the climate, infrastructure slightly outperformed global equities as a theme. The fund closed December down -4.4% in euros. Penalised by rate hike re-pricing in the US in 2015, the infrastructure sector should benefit from renewed interest in 2016 as global monetary policy is likely to remain accommodating (except in the United States, where the rise will be gradual). This will provide a relatively supportive scenario for concession operators. Highway and air traffics should also continue to benefit from the low oil prices. The fund is now fully invested with a cash reserve of approximately 2%. The terrorist bombings in Paris impacted airport traffic in Europe mainly its international contribution. French airports operator ADP reported a -1.8% (y-o-y) fall in traffic in November. Fraport was hit with another strike by Lufthansa crew which saw Frankfurt traffic dropping -11.3% (y-o-y). Japan Airlines decided to cut some of its flights to Paris. This decision reflects the current weakness in tourism after the bomb attack. Nevertheless, we believe that this tourist disenchantment will be temporary, though it will take some months before traffic returns to normal. Airport infrastructure manager OMA Mexico has published its Master Plan for 2020. It shows a surprise hike in average tariffs (+15%) at all the group’s airports. 01/2016 Financial markets opened 2016 on a very troubled note. The fall in oil prices, deflationary fears linked in particular to the yuan's depreciation, the economic slowdown in China, and more generally in emerging markets, have all unsettled investors. The MSCI ACWI, the global equities benchmark, lost up to -12% in January and then recovered before recording its worst monthly performance for January since 2008, dropping -5.9% in EUR (-6.1% USD). Salvation came, not surprisingly, from the central banks: ECB chief Mario Draghi got in first by suggesting possible intervention in March. Then the US Federal Reserve’s FOMC delivered a rather accommodating stance and once again expressed renewed concern about the risk posed by the world’s deteriorating economic outlook. Finally, BoJ head Haruhiko Kuroda set a negative deposit rate for the first time in Japan's history in trying to rekindle inflation. In this climate, the infrastructure theme outperformed, with the fund dipping just -1.5% in January. North American midstream energy stocks such as Pembina Pipeline and Gibson Energy benefited from the oil rebound. The US utilities sector profited considerably from the Fed’s accommodating line, with NextEra Energy and Eversource Energy climbing +8% and +6% respectively in EUR. French highway operators (Vinci, Eiffage) are benefiting from a +1.1% hike in road tolls, scheduled for February 1, 2016. APRR (Eiffage) also reported a positive traffic trend in Q4, up by +2.9%. When ADP and Eurotunnel stock dipped, we strengthened our positions on both. We also appreciated Eurotunnel management’s decision to withdraw from the consortium bidding for London City Airport. Exposure to India was reduced, especially Gujarat Pipavav Port, which is still suffering from the slowdown in international trade, while port container capacity is set to grow +50% by 2018. 02/2016 Equity markets rallied in February, losing only -1.2% (MSCI ACWI in EUR) despite a drop of nearly -10% in mid-month. Central bankers have recognised the risk of global economic slowdown, once again pointing a finger at the emerging markets, and a deflationary environment suggesting more accommodative monetary policy than anticipated. In China, the governor of the PBoC, in a statement on the yuan’s weakness, said that there was no credibility to concerns of a possible currency devaluation. This and a drop in reserve requirements for banks reanimated the market. Commodities also rebounded strongly over the month. Expectations of a hike in US interest rates — implied by futures trading — have settled, and the market does not expect more than one rate hike in 2016 (with a 35% probability). As a result, infrastructure, as a theme, outperformed the world index, and the fund ended the month in positive territory. Canadian stocks (comprising 21% of our exposure) performed particularly well. The Canadian dollar appreciated +2.8% against the euro, benefiting from the rebound in commodities. Midstream companies like Gibson Energy, Inter Pipeline and Pembina Pipeline continued to benefit from the rebound in oil prices and volume growth y-o-y in Q4. North American railroads — Union Pacific and Canadian National — have also recovered strongly, with freight volumes rising in February. Publishing its annual results, the Eurotunnel Group has downgraded its 2016 guidance after a slow recovery in Eurostar traffic in the wake of the Paris terror attacks, and management cannot exclude further disruption by migrants next summer. We have continued to reduce exposure to India in February after publication of disappointing earnings there.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund – Infrasphere (continued) 03/2016 Equity markets rallied in March and climbed +2.4% in euros (MSCI ACWI). ECB chief Mario Draghi announced a series of unprecedented monetary easing measures (including rate cuts and an increase in monthly asset purchases to €80 billion from €60 billion) and stated that rates would stay low for a long time. Pointing out concern about the global economy risks, Janet Yellen, chair of the Federal Reserve, also gave an accommodating speech, saying the Fed would proceed cautiously with its monetary tightening policy. This environment led to a dip in the USD, a rise in commodities and a decline in bond rates, benefiting the infrastructure theme, with the fund outperforming the world index. The recovery in risk appetite benefited emerging equities (MSCI EM +8.0% in euros). OMA, the Mexican airport operator, was the prime contributor to the outperformance of the fund and is continuing to benefit from positive momentum since the publication of its Master Plan. We took some of our profits on OMA and introduced Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico (GAP) to increase our exposure to this sector. GAP is Mexico’s second largest airport operator and is benefiting from an increase in traffic thanks to the development of the Tijuana airport and with traffic back to normal in Los Cabos. Suez Environnement has strengthened our utilities exposure. Two-thirds of Suez’s assets are regulated or subject to long-term contracts and it should continue to benefit from its cost reduction program and the recovery in Europe. We also reduced our exposure to the Canadian midstream sector, which has been highly sensitive to oil price rebound, while its upside potential seems limited to us over the short term. Gibson Energy was also sold (+40% in euros since the beginning of the year), while some of its activities have been negatively impacted by the drop in oil production and drilling activity in the United States. Meanwhile, we have sold our position in MPLX, which we inherited following the acquisition of MarkWest Energy. Edmond de Rothschild Fund - China Given international environment and contrasted economic statistics, China market has gone through a rather volatile time. in Aug 2015, in light of the sudden CNY depreciation against USD in early August 2015, we have seen it caused wide market concern and an apparent pickup in capital outflows since then. The SHCOMP ended down12.49% month on month in Aug, and we went through a hard time as global markets were caught up in a China sell-off and continued market volatility. Following that, macro side, the August official manufacturing (mfg) PMI reached 49.7, in-line with market consensus, services PMI dropped 0.5pt to 53.4, China’s Caixin Mfg PMI is a touch better than the flash reading of 47.1, reached 47.3. In the 3Q of 2015, RMB depreciation and China’s weak macro data along with the approaching of Fed rate hike triggered the de-risk for global investors. Emerging equity market especially entered into a negative cycle –with accelerated fund outflows due to the currency depreciation and stock market volatility. However, coming to the second half of September 2015, emerging markets in started to show some signs of stabilisation as the governments of many countries stepped in while the PBOC cut its RRR rate by 0.5% and the interest rate by 0.25% to inject further liquidity. And following that July’s average home prices rose steadily in the 70 cities, we see more positive policies from government to prop up the real estate market, MoF, PBOC and MOHURD issued a joint statement: starting Sept 1st, in certain cases, the down payment for the 2nd house purchase can be reduced from 30% to 20%. At the meanwhile, Chinese government has stepped up its effort to launch more infrastructure projects and the 100bn RMB fund set up aimed to boost urban rail traffic. We saw China market gradually recover along with continued government investment, more visibility of Fed rate hike, and our EdR Chinagora fund remains a stable investment structures of its portfolio in the hardest time of 2015. Going forward, in the second quarter of 2016, we expect the CNY has no vocation to depreciate extensively and on a long period of time, the correlation to a basket of currencies is a long term policy and stability relative to those currencies is a priority. And we expect the 2Q 2016 GDP growth will be in line with 1Q despite very weak exports in the past months, PPI continue to improve and so do the industrial sector earnings growth. Job market is managing well despite weak global cycle, a 5% unemployment rate is acceptable and not alarming. The private sector is making up, so far, for the losses seen in the public sector with 5.5m jobs created YTD. Domestic growth and expansion in services, new sectors innovations, high savings available, capacity to adjust the fiscal policy on employers do make it possible for china to continue to grow at existing rate which can be considered as inscribed into a long term range of superior growth vs the rest of the world.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - Global Data Over the period ranging from 31st august 2015 to 31 march 2016, the fund Edmond de Rothschild Fund Global Data experienced strong volatility especially in the month of September 2015 and January-february 2016. During the September to December 2015 period, Falling oil prices and weak macroeconomic signal coming from China weighted on the market dynamic and impacted the fund even though the companies in the portfolio exhibited strong and structural growth and were largely untouched by these external factors. The fund was fully invested in a matter of days, and subsequent moves were mainly due to and thorough review of investment cases or M&As. Wuxi Pharmatech went private in an operation led by management and venture capital partners. Atmel in the semiconductor space got bought by its competitor Microchip. We also sold our Verizon et Nice System stake, in either case upside appeared limited and these positions were replaced by investment in Inovalon and Alibaba at the very end of the year, taking the opportunity of falling market prices. Over the period we also reinforced Qualcomm and Softbank which suffered disproportionately from market downturn and some company specific worries. During the January to March period, global market experienced extreme volatility and fears of a global recession resurfaced quite abruptly. The fund suffered a lot from its intrinsically significant exposure to “mid cap” companies and its underweight of traditionally “safe haven” sectors such as utilities, consumer staples and big pharmaceuticals. We took the opportunity to reinforce our positions and add new ones such as Marketo and Square which fell by over 30% in the first two months of the year despite very strong long term prospects. Overall from a fundamental perspective, the fund has delivered over the big data thematic opportunity with companies growing well above global economies. However in the short term these companies were not rewarded as market volatility dominated underlying fundamentals. We are therefore very confident in the fund potential over the next year and beyond.
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - QUAM 5 Applying a quantitative asset management methodology tested for over 18 years, the compartment of the Edmond de Rothschild Fund has as its objective to respect a risk limit that is equivalent to an annual volatility of 5% and seeks to optmise performance in favourable market conditions and reduce risk exposures in bear market trends. The portfolio invests in traditional long-only funds, without leverage and has a daily liquidity. 2015 was a very eventful year for all asset classes with the first quarter proving to be very supportive compared to the more disruptive period that followed. Equities and bonds varying inputs such as accommodative monetary policies by central banks, the Greek crisis and geopolitical instability. In addition, throughout the year there was a sharp decline in commodity prices and the US dollar appreciated – doubling the impact emerging economies, who subsequently disappointed again in 2015. Crucially, market corrections during the year were of an unprecedented magnitude and speed. Equity markets suffered from an increase in volatility throughout the year amid an unstable macroeconomic environment. The first part of the year was marked by a rapid rise in equity markets, particularly in Europe, boosted by “quantitative easing” policies of central banks that sought to reassure investors of their ability to act on faltering economies. In Europe, a first warning emerged in late March. The return of concerns about Greek debt and the future of the Hellenic Republic in the EU raised doubts concerning the robustness of Europe. At this point, market volatility began to climb and continued to do so with the help of two Chinese crises – July’s growth concerns derailing global markets and in August China’s central bank announced a series of measures to devalue the Yuan in order to prop up markets in turmoil. The major developed markets lost around 15% and by the end of summer, year-to-date gains had been largely wiped out. Emerging markets were generally impacted by the decline in oil prices (-35% between April and August)affecting Russian and Brazilian economies the worst. As of the end of August, all markets were directly correlated with the announcements of the two main central banks as well as the ongoing decline in oil prices, which weighed on global growth prospects. Thus, a risk-on, risk-off period with little traction ensued before markets resumed their decline later in the year (the worst performance in December since 2002). Volatilities of roughly 30% were seen, akin to crisis periods.

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - QUAM 5 (continued) As a reminder, most economists had projected that the Federal Reserve would raise rates during the year to the order of 1% by end of 2015. This was not the case and bond markets suffered several shocks throughout 2015. Similarly to 2014, bond markets began the year relatively upbeat. Low inflation and large asset purchase programmes drove European rates to historical lows, with many in negative territory (-0.45% for the 2Y Bund) in April, before recovering sharply. In two months (May & June) the yield on the 10-year Bund climbed to 0.93% versus 0.06% in April. The entire market suffered as a result, with government yields leading the way. Only convertible bonds, supported by a rise in equity markets early in the year, showed some solidity during this zero rate environment. During the rest of the year, most bond segments partially recovered, whereas emerging markets and corporate debt continued to suffer, reporting negative annual returns. The QUAM 5 methodology, which adapts to prevailing market conditions, managed the allocation of QUAM 5 to equities, bonds and money market funds in order to benefit from bull market phases within its risk budget. As such, the exposure to bond funds and equity funds remained relatively balanced in general: On average, QUAM 5 held 9% in equities and 42% in bonds. The fund favoured equities early in the year, with this preference changing to bonds when the large macroeconomic concerns developed in the latter part of 2015.
- At the turn of 2015, the fixed income portion remained very diversified in order to profit as much as possible from a generally robust performance across markets in Q1. Diversification and the total weight of the bond exposure increased progressively throughout the first quarter, to reach 82% in March, mostly through aggregate, investment grade and government bonds. QUAM 5 demonstrated its ability to be indexed to the market in order to deliver a solid return by keeping the risk under control. As of April, the methodology reduced its fixed income exposure significantly in favour of money market funds to limit its exposure to the tensions occurring in bond markets. Following these tensions, the methodology rapidly reinvested in “govies” – volatility being high in August and September and their risk/return ratio appearing more attractive that other bond segments. At the end of the year, the fixed income allocation became more diversified and short term and convertible bonds were added to the portfolio.
- The equity exposure was more significant at the beginning of the year, where it reached 18% of the total portfolio. In this bullish period, the fund was invested in all major sectors, mostly in Europe and followed the rapid rise of the markets. As the European crisis unfolded, the portfolio rotated towards the Japanese market and funds that were geographically diversified, Quam 5 also withdrew capital from from the financial sector. Volatility continued to rise beyond May, and the fund decreased the equity exposure to roughly 12%, shifting the remaining allocation to more robust asset classes while still holding on to some healthcare and small cap stocks. At the end of August, Chinese growth concern strongly impacted financials markets and increased volatility to around 30% on Eurostoxx. The fund kept an equity exposure lower than 4% for the remainder of the year, which saw global markets fall by 7% and the Eurostoxx fall by 11%.
QUAM 5 kept risk levels under control with an annualised volatility of 2.74%. The equity exposure as well as the dynamic and targeted bond allocation was able to diversify risk exposures and profit from healthier markets early in the year. However, the violent equity market corrections coupled with significant volatility and, uncertainties on bond markets weighed on the performance of the portfolio, which reported a result of - 0.76% for 2015. In the last part of the year, the methodology disinvested from risky assets, prioritising safe haven assets such as ‘govies’ and money market funds, to avoid heavy volatility. This defensive configuration allowed the fund to stay out of the general market turmoil. Quantitative asset management does not seek to anticipate market movements. Yet, it allows us to understand the behaviour of the models in a given market configuration. • In established market uptrends, QUAM 5 optimises the risk exposure and the selection of assets where the trends are the most favourable. • In market corrections/reversals, QUAM 5participates in the initial downtrend before gradually divesting or does not capture the first leg of an uptrend but subsequently reinvests progressively. • In established market downtrends, QUAM 5 has little to no investments in order to consolidate the benefits of earlier trends. Edmond de Rothschild Fund - QUAM 7 This Sub-Funds has been launched as at March 22, 2016.

Applying a quantitative asset management methodology tested for over 18 years, the compartment of the Edmond de Rothschild Fund has as its objective to respect a risk limit that is equivalent to an annual volatility of 10% and seeks to optmise performance in favourable market conditions and reduce risk exposures in bear market trends. The portfolio invests in traditional long-only funds, without leverage and has a daily liquidity. 2015 was a very eventful year for all asset classes with the first quarter proving to be very supportive compared to the more disruptive quarters that followed. Equities and bonds were confronted with ultraaccommodative monetary policies by central banks, the Greek crisis and geopolitical instability. In addition, throughout the year we witnessed the sharp decline in commodity prices and the appreciation of the US dollar – doubly impacting emerging economies that disappointed again in 2015. Crucially, market corrections during the year were of an unprecedented magnitude and speed. Equity markets suffered from an increase in volatility throughout the year amid an unstable macroeconomic environment.

The major developed markets lost around 15% and by the end of summer, year-to-date gains had been largely wiped out. Emerging markets were generally impacted by the decline in oil prices (-35% between April and August), with Russia’s and Brazil’s economies being hit particularly hard. As of the end of August, all markets were directly correlated with the announcements of the two main central banks as well as the ongoing decline in oil price, which weighed on global growth prospects. Thus, a risk-on, risk-off period with little traction ensued before markets resumed their decline later in the year (the worst performance in December since 2002) reporting observed volatilities of roughly 30%, akin to crisis periods. As a reminder, most economists projected that the Federal Reserve would raise rates during the year to the order of 1% by end of 2015. This was not the case and bond markets suffered several shocks throughout the year. In step with 2014, bond markets began the year relatively upbeat. Low inflation and asset purchase programmes drove European rates to historical lows, with many in negative territory (-0.45% for the 2Y Bund) in April, before recovering sharply. In two months (May & June) the yield on the 10-year Bund climbed to 0.93% versus 0.06% in April. The entire market suffered as a result, with government yields leading the way. Only convertible bonds, supported by a rise in equity markets early in the year, weathered this zero rate environment. During the rest of the year, most bond segments partially recovered, whereas emerging markets and corporate debt continued to suffer, reporting negative annual returns. The QUAM 10 methodology, which adapts to prevailing market conditions, managed the allocation of QUAM 10 to equities, bonds and money market funds in order to benefit from bull market phases within its risk budget. As such, the exposure to bond funds and equity funds remained relatively balanced in general: On average, QUAM 10 held 42% in equities and 43% in bonds. Nonetheless, the fund favoured equities early in the year, then switched to bonds when macroeconomic concerns developed in the latter part of 2015.
- At the turn of 2015, the fixed income bucket remained very diversified in order to profit as much as possible from a generally robust performance across markets in Q1. “Long-term”, convertibles and high yield funds performed well. As of April, the methodology reduced its fixed income exposure significantly in favour of money market funds to limit its exposure to the tensions occurring in bond markets. As such, the portfolio divested from government bond funds. Following these tensions, the methodology rapidly reinvested in “govies” – volatility being high in August and September and their risk/return ratio appearing more attractive that other bond segments. At the end of the year, the fixed income bucket became more diversified and inflation-linked bonds and convertibles were added to the portfolio.
- It proved to be a nervous year for equity markets and that’s why the QuAM methodology adapted its allocation throughout the year. During the bull market phase, the fund was invested in all sectors and mostly in Europe – a diversified allocation that followed the rapid rise in equity markets. As the European crisis unfolded, the portfolio rotated towards the Japanese market and funds diversified by geography and divested from the financial sector. Volatility continued to rise

beyond May, where QuAM 10 increased its exposure to the more defensive healthcare sector and to “small cap”, which proved less sensitive to macroeconomic instability. The correction at the end of August – September was violent and prompted the fund to rapidly divest from equities. By mid-September, the fund’s equity exposure represented 1.8% while volatility on the Eurostoxx breached 30%. In Q4, the portfolio remained well diversified (geographically with Europe and Japan, and by sector investing in “value”, “small cap” and “IT”) and maintained a relatively conservative profile allowing it to weather the turmoil in December. QUAM 10 kept risk levels under control with an annualised volatility of the invested portfolio at 6.3%. The equity exposure as well as the dynamic and targeted bond allocation was able to diversify risk exposures and profit from healthier markets early in the year. However, the violent equity market corrections coupled with significant volatility and - for the first time in 10 years – uncertainties on bond markets, weighed on the performance of the portfolio, reporting -5.22% in 2015. In the last part of the year, the methodology divested from risk assets in order to remain mostly exposed to money markets and bonds, which ultimately helped it mitigate the general downtrend in Q4 and which has gained momentum since December. Quantitative asset management does not seek to anticipate market movements. Yet, it allows us to understand the behaviour of the models in a given market configuration.
• In established market uptrends, QUAM 10 optimises the risk exposure and the selection of assets where the trends are the most favourable. • In market corrections/reversals, QUAM 10 participates in the initial downtrend before gradually divesting or does not capture the first leg of an uptrend but subsequently reinvests progressively. • In established market downtrends, QUAM 10 has little to no investments in order to consolidate the benefits of earlier trends.
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - QUAM 15 Applying a quantitative asset management methodology tested for over 18 years, the compartment of the Edmond de Rothschild Fund has as its objective to respect a risk limit that is equivalent to an annual volatility of 15% and seeks to optimise performance in favourable market conditions and reduce risk exposures in bear market trends. The portfolio invests in traditional long-only funds, without leverage and has a daily liquidity. 2015 was a very eventful year for all asset classes with the first quarter proving to be very supportive compared to the more disruptive period that followed. Equities and bonds varying inputs such as accommodative monetary policies by central banks, the Greek crisis and geopolitical instability. In addition, throughout the year there was a sharp decline in commodity prices and the US dollar appreciated – doubling the impact emerging economies, who subsequently disappointed again in 2015. Crucially, market corrections during the year were of an unprecedented magnitude and speed. Equity markets suffered from an increase in volatility throughout the year amid an unstable macroeconomic environment. The first part of the year was marked by a rapid rise in equity markets, particularly in Europe, boosted by “quantitative easing” policies of central banks that sought to reassure investors of their ability to act on faltering economies. In Europe, a first warning emerged in late March. The return of concerns about Greek debt and the future of the Hellenic Republic in the EU raised doubts concerning the robustness of Europe. At this point, market volatility began to climb and continued to do so with the help of two Chinese crises – July’s growth concerns derailing global markets and in August China’s central bank announced a series of measures to devalue the Yuan in order to prop up markets in turmoil. The major developed markets lost around 15% and by the end of summer, year-to-date gains had been largely wiped out. Emerging markets were generally impacted by the decline in oil prices (-35% between April and August)affecting Russian and Brazilian economies the worst. As of the end of August, all markets were directly correlated with the announcements of the two main central banks as well as the ongoing decline in oil prices, which weighed on global growth prospects. Thus, a risk-on, risk-off period with little traction ensued before markets resumed their decline later in the year (the worst performance in December since 2002). Volatilities of roughly 30% were seen, akin to crisis periods.

Edmond de Rothschild Fund - QUAM 15 (continued)
As a reminder, most economists had projected that the Federal Reserve would raise rates during 2015. Similarly to 2014, bond markets began the year relatively upbeat. Low inflation and large asset purchase programmes drove European rates to historical lows, with many in negative territory (-0.45% for the 2Y Bund) in April, before recovering sharply. In two months (May & June) the yield on the 10-year Bund climbed to 0.93% versus 0.06% in April. The entire market suffered as a result, with government yields leading the way. Only convertible bonds, supported by a rise in equity markets early in the year, showed some solidity during this zero rate environment. During the rest of the year, most bond segments partially recovered, whereas emerging markets and corporate debt continued to suffer, reporting negative annual returns. The QUAM 15 methodology, which adapts to prevailing market conditions, managed the allocation of QUAM 15 to equities, bonds and money market funds in order to benefit from bull market phases within its risk budget. The QUAM 15 fund, used its ability to switch between asset classes in order to benefit from the bullish market periods, as in Q1. The fund also can deindex during market turmoil. On average the fund was invested 80% in Equity and 18% in bonds.
- At the turn of 2015, the fixed income portion remained much diversified in order to profit as much as possible from a generally robust performance across markets in Q1. It represented 8% of the portfolio, and was composed of Long-term, convertibles and high yield funds. As of April, the methodology reduced its fixed income exposure significantly in favour of money market funds, and the last 5% invested in fixed income were through emerging funds. Following the market tension, the methodology rapidly reinvested in “govies” – volatility being high in August and September and their risk/return ratio was more attractive that other bond segments. Bonds allocation reached 88% of the total net asset. At the end of the year, the fixed income bucket became more diversified and inflationlinked bonds were added to the portfolio.
- The QUAM 15 started the year largely invested in Equity, 86%, in the bullish environment which began in the end of 2014. During Q1, methodologies has taken advantage of the positive economical context to invest in servals sectors, as IT and financial, to deliver returns. Grexit fears in April, made the fund quickly de-index from the Eurozone, in favour of Japanese and emerging funds. Summer was an especially volatile period. Chinese concerns heavily impacted global markets and led the methodology to quickly reduce the equity exposure. In less than a month, the QUAM 15 equity exposure was less than 2%. In October, with the help of central banks, global markets rebounded, and the methodology adjusted the allocation accordingly, by keeping the risk budget under stringent control. During the final period of the year, the defensive configuration was maintained, and the methodology invested in small caps and continued to diversify the geographical allocation.
2015 has been marked by the return of a high volatility in global markets, QUAM 15 adhered to its risk budget to finish with a 10.06% annual volatility. A well-diversified equity exposure delivered a strong return in the first part of the year. Nonetheless, equity markets suffered heavy losses serval times this year, in quick succession. These moves impacted the QUAM 15 return, which was -8.21% for 2015. However, in the global economic turmoil that is place since August, the fund was in a very defensive configuration, removing exposure to high volatility and large drawdowns. Quantitative asset management does not seek to anticipate market movements. Yet, it allows us to understand the behaviour of the models in a given market configuration. • In established market uptrends, QUAM 15 optimises the risk exposure and the selection of assets where the trends are the most favourable. • In market corrections/reversals, QUAM 15 participates in the initial downtrend before gradually divesting or does not capture the first leg of an uptrend but subsequently reinvests progressively. • In established market downtrends, QUAM 15 has little to no investments in order to consolidate the benefits of earlier trends.

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SICAV (continued)
Edmond de Rothschild Fund - QUAM SUSTAINABLE 10
At the end of March 2016, the AUM of EDR Fund QUAM SUSTAINABLE 10 totals EUR 2’888’690 Market environment: Equity markets suffered from an increase in volatility throughout 2015 amid an unstable macroeconomic environment, the future of Greece in the EU and two Chinese crises (growth concern and Yuan devaluation). In this environment, markets suffered heavy losses, especially in December and January: Eurostoxx and Emerging markets suffered a loss of 26% by the end of January. The bond markets suffered several shocks throughout this period. Bond markets began relatively upbeat. Low inflation and large asset purchase programmes drove European rates to historical lows in April, before bouncing back sharply in an unprecedented manner. The entire market suffered as a result, with government yields leading the way. During the rest of 2015, most bond segments partially recovered, whereas emerging markets and corporate debt continued to suffer, reporting negative annual returns. Starting 2016, the bond market benefited from a flight-to-quality phenomenon posting positive yields. The QUAM SUSTAINABLE 10 methodology, which adapts to prevailing market conditions, managed the allocation of SUSTAINABLE 10 to equities (18% on average), bonds (27% on average) and money market funds in order to benefit from bull market phases within its risk budget. The main investments were done, on the equity side, in Europe among the consumer, energy & growth sectors and, on the fixed income side, in best-in-class and positive screen bonds.
Over the period, QUAM SUSTAINABLE 10 (A class denominated in EUR) generated a negative performance of 6.40% while maintaining risk under control (annualised volatility of 4.2% and maximum drawdown of -8.70%) despite the increase in market volatility and the correction that occurred in the 3rd quarter 2014 on the European markets (-10.4%).
The quantitative asset management methodology, QUAM SUSTAINABLE 10 does not allow an ex-ante identification of market trends. However, it enables us to understand how the product will react in different market configurations: • During periods of established uptrend, QUAM SUSTAINABLE 10 will optimise the risk by selecting the asset classes and investments that exhibit favourable trends. • During periods of trend reversal, QUAM SUSTAINABLE 10 will initially suffer from the negative trend before gradually divest or will not be upward indexed over the first period before gradually reinvest. • During established downward market, QUAM SUSTAINABLE 10 will have low or no exposure in asset classes that perform negatively in order to consolidate the gains of previous trends.

The main objective of the SICAV is to preserve the capital in real terms and ensure the growth of its assets. Obviously, no guarantee is given that this objective will be achieved. The SICAV intends to achieve this objective by the active management of the Sub-Funds which can be divided into five categories. The first category deals primarily with short-term transferable securities and money market instruments. The second category concentrates exclusively on bonds. The third category concerns exclusively stocks and shares. The fourth category invests both in international bonds and equities. Lastly, the fifth category offers specifically profiled investments in terms of risk/return or a combination of both in the makeup of its portfolio.
EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND
424
GENERAL (continued)
At the date of the report there is not active Sub-Fund corresponding to first category and fourth category, Generally speaking, the Sub-Funds' portfolios will consist of transferable securities, without restriction or limitation as to industrial, economic or geographical diversification, unless otherwise specifically defined in the investment policy of each Sub-Fund offered. Shares are issued in registered form for each Sub-Fund. Fractions of shares are issued with four decimal places. The Management Company may create within each Sub-Fund different classes of Shares whose assets will be commonly invested pursuant to the specific investment policy of the relevant Sub-Fund. Such Classes are distinguished by their fee structure, their distribution policy, their liquidity, and the minimum subscription applicable to them (this list is not exhaustive). The features of the relevant Classes issued within each Sub-Fund will be as set out in the relevant Data Sheets. The Classes in certain Sub-Funds may themselves be divided into a number of Sub-Classes, each with a different valuation currency by a decision of the Board. Investors’ attention is drawn to the fact that depending upon the foreign exchange risk hedging operations put in place or not for each Sub-Class (hedged Sub-Classes are denominated “(H)”), investors are exposed to the risk that the Net Asset Value of any Sub-Class denominated in a given valuation currency may change unfavourably in comparison with that of a Sub-Class denominated in a different valuation currency. It is nevertheless stipulated that the expenses related to any financial instruments that may be employed in foreign exchange risk hedging operations for the Sub-Class in question will be allocated exclusively to that Sub-Class. In order to ensure efficient management, the Board of Directors may decide in accordance with the Articles to manage all or a part of the assets of one or more Sub-Funds together with those of other Sub-Funds (the pooling technique), or to co-manage the entirety or part of the assets with, if necessary, the exception of a reserve in cash, of one or several Sub-Funds together with the assets of other Luxembourg investment funds, or of one or more sub-funds of other Luxembourg investment funds (the Party or Parties to the Assets under Co-Management) for which the Depositary has been designated as the depositary bank. The co-management of the relevant assets shall be carried out in accordance with the respective investment policies of the Parties to the Assets under Co-Management, where each pursues identical or comparable objectives (the assets so co-managed or pooled being the Assets under Co-Management). The Parties to the Assets under Co-Management shall only participate in any such pooling or co-management arrangements authorised by
their own individual Prospectuses, and in compliance with their own specific investment restrictions. Each Party to the Assets under Co-Management will participate in the Assets under Co-Management in proportion to their contribution to the Assets under Co-Management. The assets shall be attributed to each Party to the Assets under Co-Management in proportion to their contribution to the Assets under Co-Management. The rights of each Party to the Assets under Co-Management which take part shall be applicable to each of the lines of investment of such Assets under Co-Management. Such Assets under Co-Management shall be constituted by the transfer of cash or, if appropriate, other assets of each of the Parties to the Assets under Co-Management. Subsequently, the Board may proceed regularly to make transfers to the Assets under Co-Management. The Assets may equally be transferred back to one of the Parties to the Assets under Co-Management up to the value of the holding of that Party to the Assets under Co-Management. Dividends, interest, and other distributions which are by nature earnings generated within the context of the Asset Co-Management shall be due to each of the Parties to the Assets under Co-Management in proportion to their holding. Such earnings may be retained by the Party to the Assets under Co-Management with a holding, or be reinvested in the Assets under Co-Management. All of the costs and expenses incurred with the context of the Co-Management of Assets shall be debited from the Assets under Co-Management. Such costs and expenses shall be attributed to each Party to the Assets under Co-Management in proportion to the rights of each in respect of the Assets under Co-Management. In the event of a breach of the investment restrictions affecting a Sub-Fund, when such Sub-Fund is a Party to the Assets under Co-Management, the Board of Directors shall, even if the Management Company or, if applicable, the Manager has observed the investment restrictions by applying them to the Assets under Co-Management in question, require that the Management Company or, if applicable, the Manager reduces the investments in question in proportion to the holding of the Sub-Fund in question in the Assets under Co-Management or, if appropriate, shall reduce the holding in the Assets under Co-Management in question such that the investment restrictions are observed in respect of that Sub-Fund. In the event that the SICAV is dissolved or if the Board of Directors decides without the required notice to withdraw the holding of the SICAV or of a Sub-Fund in the Assets under Co-Management, the Assets under Co-Management shall be allocated to the Parties to the Assets under Co-Management, each in proportion to their holding in the Assets under Co-Management.
EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND
425
GENERAL (continued)
Investors should be aware of the fact that such Assets under Co-Management are employed solely in order to ensure effective management insofar as all of the Parties to the Assets under Co-Management have the same depositary bank. The Assets under Co-Management do not constitute distinct legal entities and are not directly accessible to investors. Nevertheless, the assets and liabilities of each of the Sub-Funds shall at all times be separate and identifiable. The Board of Directors has decided to merge the following Sub-Funds within Sub-Funds of EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND: As at June 17, 2015: The Sub-Funds RETURN CHF PLUS, RETURN € PLUS and RETURN $ PLUS of EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD PRIFUND into the Sub-Fund EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND - RETURN PLUS.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Luxembourg regulations relating to undertakings for collective investment funds and reflect the following policies: a) Combined financial statements
The various positions of the combined financial statements of the SICAV are equal to the sum of the various corresponding positions in the financial statements of each Sub-Fund and are expressed in euros (EUR).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
b) Valuation of investments in securities
All securities listed on an official stock exchange or on any other regulated market, operating regularly, recognised and open to the public are valued at the last price known in Luxembourg on the valuation day and, if the security is traded on several markets, on the basis of the last known price on the main market of this security. If the last known price is not representative, the valuation is based on the fair value at which it is expected it can be sold, as determined with prudence and in good faith by the Board of Directors. Unlisted securities or securities not traded on a stock exchange or any other regulated market, operating regularly, recognised and open to the public, are valued based on the fair value at which it is expected they can be sold, as determined with prudence and in good faith by the Board of Directors.
The value of money market instruments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less are valued by the amortised cost method, which approximates market values. At maturity the difference with the purchase price is disclosed under interest on bonds. Shares or units of undertakings for collective investment are valued on the basis of their last available net asset value.
c) Net realised gain or loss on the sales of investments Realised gains or losses on sales of investments are calculated on the basis of average cost of investments sold.
d) Conversion of foreign currencies
The accounts of all the Sub-Funds of the SICAV are kept in EUR, except the accounts of the Sub-Funds EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND - EMERGING CORPORATE BONDS and EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND - US IG CORPORATE BONDS that are kept in USD.
The financial statements of the Sub-Funds are expressed in the above-mentioned currencies. Bank accounts, other net assets/(liabilities) as well as the valuation value of the portfolio securities that are expressed in a currency other than the currency of the Sub-Fund were converted to the applicable currency at the exchange rates prevailing on March 31, 2016. Income and fees in currencies other than the currency of the Sub-Fund were converted to the applicable currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date.
e) Cost of investments in securities
The cost of investments in securities in currencies other than the currency of the Sub-Fund is converted to the currency of the Sub-Fund at the exchange rate prevailing on the purchase date. The combined cost of investments in securities for the SICAV is equal to the sum of the cost of investments in securities of each Sub-Fund converted to EUR at the exchange rate prevailing on March 31, 2016.
f) Valuation of forward foreign exchange contracts
Unmatured forward foreign exchange contracts are valued by reference to the forward exchange rate prevailing on the remaining life of the contract. The resulting unrealised profit or loss is recorded in the statement of changes in net assets.
g) Valuation of futures contracts
Futures contracts and options are valued based on their closing price the previous day on the market concerned. Prices used are settlement prices on forward markets.
h) Valuation of options
The liquidating value of options contracts traded on exchanges or on Regulated markets is based upon the last available prices of these contracts on exchanges and regulated markets on which the particular futures contracts and options contracts are traded.
i) Valuation of swaps
Swaps are valued at their fair market value based upon the last known price of the underlying asset.
j) Formation expenses
If a new Sub-Fund is created in the future, the preliminary and incorporation expenses of this Sub-Fund will, in principle, be borne by this Sub-Fund exclusively and amortised over a 5 year period, as of the aforesaid Sub-Fund launching date.
k) Income recognition
Dividends are taken into account on the date upon which the relevant investments are first listed as ex-dividend. Interest income is accrued on a daily basis. Income is recorded net of withholding tax, if any.

As the date of the report, the maximum proportion of management fees charged both to the Sub-Fund and to the UCITS and/or other investment Funds in which the Sub-Fund invests does not exceed 2.5% p.a.
PERFORMANCE AND OUTPERFORMANCE FEES
The Management Company and the Investment Managers, in respect of certain Sub-Funds specified in the Data Sheets, may also receive a performance fee (the “Performance Fee”). The Performance Fee payable out of the assets of a Sub-Fund will, unless otherwise set out in a Data Sheet, be calculated either on the basis of the “outperformance with HWM” model (the Outperformance HWM Model) or the “outperformance model” (the “Outperformance Model”), as specified in each Data Sheet of the prospectus. The method of calculation of these two types of fees is described as follows and investors may request the Management Company or the Administrative Agent to be provided free of charge with worked example of the applicable calculation method. Outperformance fee with “High Water Mark” (Outperformance HWM Model 1) The Performance Fee is fixed at a maximum of 30% p.a. (in accordance with the rate indicated in each Data Sheet in respect of each relevant Class/Sub-Class, the “Performance Fee Rate”) and is calculated on the difference recorded between the performance (the variation in the Net Asset Value of the Class or the Sub-Class involved) of the Class or Sub-Class involved and that of its benchmark index or absolute performance rate over the Calculation Period, subject to a high water mark. Unless otherwise set out in a Data Sheet, the benchmark index is the 1-month EURIBOR in respect of Classes or Sub-Classes denominated in EUR and the 1-month LIBOR in respect of all other Classes or Sub-Classes. Unless otherwise set out in a Data Sheet in respect of a given Sub-Fund, the Calculation Period will be a period of 12 months starting on the date set out in the relevant Data Sheet, except for the first Calculation Period following the launching of a Class which will start on the date of launching of relevant Class and end on the date immediately preceding the next Calculation Period. The Performance Fee will generally be paid within one month following the calculation of the last Net Asset Value of the relevant Calculation Period.
The Reference NAV is the maximum of the following two components:
- NAV High Water Mark (HWM): the highest NAV as at the end of a Calculation Period in respect of which a Performance Fee has been paid (adjusted for subscriptions, redemptions and dividends).
- The NAV after the Performance Fee at the end of the preceding Calculation Period (adjusted for subscriptions, redemptions and dividends).
EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD FUND
432
PERFORMANCE AND
OUTPERFORMANCE FEES (continued)
The Target NAV is equal to the Reference NAV multiplied by the performance of the benchmark index or the absolute performance rate over the relevant period and adjusted to take into account subscriptions and redemptions. Redemptions are included by reducing the Target NAV in proportion to the number of units redeemed. Dividends are included by deducting them from the Target NAV. If Shares are redeemed on any other date than that of the payment of the Performance Fee, when Performance Fees are provisioned, the provisioned Performance Fees attributable to the redeemed Shares will be paid at the end of the period even if Performance Fees are not provisioned for that date. The same principle will be applied in the specific case where a Class or Sub-Class of a Sub-Fund closed for subscriptions following the redemption of all of the Shares issued in the Class or Sub-Class concerned is reopened for subscription, or in the case where no Shares of a Class or Sub-Class have been subscribed in the initial subscription period of a Sub-Fund concerned. In such cases, the Performance Fee is calculated on the difference recorded between the performance of the Classes or Sub-Classes involved (variation in the Class or Sub-Class concerned during the period falling between the date of reopening or the launch, and the date immediately preceding the next Calculation Period) and that of their benchmark index or absolute performance rate. Outperformance fee with “ High Water Mark ” (Outperformance HWM Model 2)
The Performance Fee is fixed at a maximum of 30% p.a. (in accordance with the rate indicated in each Data Sheet in respect of each relevant Class/Sub-Class, the “Performance Fee Rate”) and is calculated on the difference recorded between the performance (the variation in the Net Asset Value of the Class or the Sub-Class involved) of the Class or Sub-Class involved and that of its benchmark index or absolute performance rate over the Calculation Period, as soon as the NAV is greater than the highest NAV of the preceding calculation period. Unless otherwise set out in a Data Sheet, the benchmark index is the 1-month EURIBOR in respect of Classes or Sub-Classes denominated in EUR and the 1-month LIBOR in respect of all other Classes or Sub-Classes. Unless otherwise set out in a Data Sheet in respect of a given Sub-Fund, the Calculation Period will be a period of 12 months starting on the date set out in the relevant Data Sheet, except for the first Calculation Period following the launching of a Class which will start on the date of launching of relevant Class and end on the date
immediately preceding the next Calculation Period. The Performance Fee will generally be paid within one month following the calculation of the last Net Asset Value of the relevant Calculation Period. The Reference NAV is the last NAV of the preceding Calculation Period. The Target NAV is equal to the Reference NAV multiplied by the performance of the benchmark index or the absolute performance rate over the relevant period and adjusted to take into account subscriptions and redemptions. Redemptions are included by reducing the Target NAV in proportion to the number of units redeemed. Dividends are included by deducting them from the Target NAV. If Shares are redeemed on any other date than that of the payment of the Performance Fee, when Performance Fees are provisioned, the provisioned Performance Fees attributable to the redeemed Shares will be paid at the end of the period even if Performance Fees are not provisioned for that date. The same principle will be applied in the specific case where a Class or Sub-Class of a Sub-Fund closed for subscriptions following the redemption of all of the Shares issued in the Class or Sub-Class concerned is reopened for subscription, or in the case where no Shares of a Class or Sub-Class have been subscribed in the initial subscription period of a Sub-Fund concerned. In such cases, the Performance Fee is calculated on the difference recorded between the performance of the Classes or Sub-Classes involved (variation in the Class or Sub-Class concerned during the period falling between the date of reopening or the launch, and the date immediately preceding the next Calculation Period) and that of their benchmark index or absolute performance rate. Outperformance fee (Outperformance Model 1) The outperformance fee is fixed at a maximum of 30% p.a. (in accordance with the rate indicated in each Data Sheet in respect of each relevant Class/Sub-Class, the “Performance Fee Rate”) and is calculated on the difference posted between the performance of the Class or Sub-Class involved and that of its benchmark index or absolute performance rate, as set out in the relevant Data Sheet, over the relevant Calculation Period. This fee is due even in the case of a reduction in the Net Asset Value provided that the decrease in Net Asset Value is less than the decrease in the benchmark index. Unless otherwise set out in a Data Sheet in respect of a given Sub-Fund, the Calculation Period will be a period of 12 months starting on the date set out in the relevant Data Sheet, except for the first Calculation Period following the launching of a Class which will start on the date of launching of relevant Class and end on the date immediately preceding the next Calculation Period. The outperformance fee will generally be paid within one month following the calculation of the last Net Asset Value of the relevant Reference Period.

PERFORMANCE AND
OUTPERFORMANCE FEES (continued)
The same principle will be applied in the specific case where a Class or Sub-Class of a Sub-Fund closed for subscriptions following the redemption of all of the Shares issued in the Class or Sub-Class concerned is reopened for subscription, or in the case where no Shares of a Class or Sub-Class have been subscribed in the initial subscription period of a Sub-Fund concerned. Consequently, the fee is calculated on the difference posted between the performance of the Classes or Sub-Classes involved (the variation of the issue price of the Class or Sub-Class concerned during the period falling between the date of reopening or the launch, and the date immediately preceding the next Calculation Period) and that of their benchmark index or absolute performance rate. For the purposes of this outperformance fee, a maximum of 30% of the outperformance on each valuation will be allocated on a provisional basis. The annual fee corresponds to the results obtained following the addition of the sums thus allocated throughout the year; if the total sum allocated for this fee is not greater than zero, then no amount will be paid under the heading of this fee, but the fee may under no circumstances be negative. Whether the provisional sum on the last day of any Calculation Period is positive or negative, the provision account is taken down to zero on the first day of the following Calculation Period. Outperformance fee (Outperformance Model 2) The outperformance fee is fixed at a maximum of 30% p.a. (in accordance with the rate indicated in each Data Sheet in respect of each relevant Class/Sub-Class, the “Performance Fee Rate”) and is calculated on the difference posted between the performance of the Class or Sub-Class involved and that of its benchmark index or absolute performance rate, as set out in the relevant Data Sheet, over the relevant Calculation Period. This fee is not due if the performance is negative, even if it outperforms the benchmark index. Unless otherwise set out in a Data Sheet in respect of a given Sub-Fund, the Calculation Period will be a period of 12 months starting on the date set out in the relevant Data Sheet, except for the first Calculation Period following the launching of a Class which will start on the date of launching of relevant Class and end on the date immediately preceding the next Calculation Period. The outperformance fee will generally be paid within one month following the calculation of the last Net Asset Value of the relevant Reference Period. The same principle will be applied in the specific case where a Class or Sub-Class of a Sub-Fund closed for subscriptions following the redemption of all of the Shares issued in the Class or Sub-Class concerned is reopened for subscription, or in the case where no Shares of a Class or Sub-Class have been subscribed in the initial subscription
period of a Sub-Fund concerned. Consequently, the fee is calculated on the difference posted between the performance of the Classes or Sub-Classes involved (the variation of the issue price of the Class or Sub-Class concerned during the period falling between the date of reopening or the launch, and the date immediately preceding the next Calculation Period) and that of their benchmark index or absolute performance rate. For the purposes of this outperformance fee, a maximum of 30% of the outperformance on each valuation will be allocated on a provisional basis. The annual fee corresponds to the results obtained following the addition of the sums thus allocated throughout the year; if the total sum allocated for this fee is not greater than zero, then no amount will be paid under the heading of this fee, but the fee may under no circumstances be negative. Whether the provisional sum on the last day of any Calculation Period is positive or negative, the provision account is taken down to zero on the first day of the following Calculation Period. The attention of investors is drawn in particular to the fact that the outperformance fee is calculated on an annual basis in respect of the change in the benchmark index concerned during that period which corresponds to the calendar year. In this context, each annual period is considered in isolation. It may occur that if a shareholder subscribes to Shares in the course of one calendar year and applied to redeem them in the course of the following calendar year, the outperformance fee which they have borne does not necessarily match the capital gain (or even capital loss) which they may have obtained through their investment.

CLAIM PROCEDURE FOR WITHHOLDING TAX
In several jurisdictions in the European Union, historically, the withholding tax treatment of the dividends paid by companies in their domiciliation country depended on whether the dividends were paid to foreign or domestic entities. Therefore, when dividends were paid to a foreign entity, they were sometimes subject to a withholding tax that led to a different tax treatment which infringed the principles of the free capital flows and thus, contrary to the European Union law. Several decisions from the European Union Court of Justice and in France of the French State Council have been taken in favor of the foreign residents. Since 2014, Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management (France) filed, for the funds that it managed, claims for the reimbursement of the withholding tax paid on dividends received from foreign companies when the reimbursement perspectives were favorable to the funds and the amounts in question material compared to the costs of proceedings. As the claims follow litigation procedures with the tax authorities, the result and the length of these procedures are uncertain. The reimbursement (i.e. amount and interests as the case may be) that may be obtained is not guarantee. The filing of the claims is processed by a law firm that levies a fix fee per country, per fund, per year of claim. Upon reimbursement, the law firm levies a success fee.
