Investment Manager's Report

Dasym Global Opportunities Fund

PerformanceSince the UCITScompliant date on 19 October 2016, The Dasym Global Opportunities Sub-Fund NAV was up 6.8% in EURasof 30 December 2016, while the MSCI World Index Net, total return, including dividends, was up 6.1%.

The Dasym ApproachThe Dasym Global Opportunities Fund is a concentrated long-only equity fund that invests globally into carefully selectedthemes, all relating to changing consumer behavior driven by technology.

Rather than focusing on the companies that directly benefit from the rollout of new technologies, Dasym seeks to findcompanies that are positioned to benefit from second and third round effects. Dasym is convinced that this approach carriesdistinct structural upside, since the stock markets' view of these companies often differs from Dasym's own long-termthematic views.

PortfolioThe fund portfolio consists of approximately 25 stocks with a focus on global developed markets. During the period, themajor contributors to performance were SeaWorld, Level 3, and Alliance Data Systems.

SeaWorld (+42% total return for the holding period) operates 12 destination and regional theme parks in the U.S., many ofwhich showcase SeaWorld's one-of-a-kind zoological collection of over 800 species of animals. Following the 2013documentary film Blackfish, scrutiny increased around SeaWorld's treatment of killer whales in captivity, resulting indecreased attendance and revenues.Dasym took advantage of the weakness in the share price to build a position, believing that the company's financialperformance would recover since the company took several steps to address these issues. In 2016, SeaWorld decided to endorca breeding, it rolled out new attractions and expanded internationally.The share price of the company bounced back from an all-time low in September after the company reported better thanexpected third quarter results. Attendance at the Florida park locations increased, reflecting the positive impact from newattractions, and the company announced a cost optimization program. In December, the company announced a partnershipwith Miral to develop SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, which will be the first SeaWorid Park without killer whales, and the first parkoutside the U.S.

Level 3 (+23%) is one of the largest owners of metro fiber networks in the U.S.The company benefits from the growth of datatraffic as a result of changing consumer behavior. Most of this traffic growth takes place at regional (metro) networksbecause these networks enable mobile operators to offload part of the traffic from their mobile networks to a fixed network.In addition, metro networks are specifically geared towards offering high bandwidth speeds to corporate clients.To create a stronger position in the business services market, CenturyLink - one of the biggest phone companies in the U.S. -agreed to buy Level 3 in October. The takeover bid represented a 40% premium versus the pre-bid share price. The deal isexpected to yield significant synergies for the combined company, since it will enable the next step in CenturyLink'stransformation from its legacy services towards strategic business services.

Alliance Data Systems (+11%) showed a strong performance during the period, primarily on the back of Donald Trumpwinning the presidential election in the United States. Alliance Data Systems (ADS) is a data-driven marketing company thatoffers merchants unique product level (or storekeeping unit, "SKU") data. This data is valuable input for marketingcampaigns, generating higher conversion levels and more effective marketing spending. ADS generates part of its datathrough private-label credit cards and loyalty programs, both subjective to strict regulation. Analysts expect that under theleadership of President Trump financial regulation covering credit and other financial services will soften and that thecorporate tax rate will decline.

The holdings that detracted most from the Sub-Fund's performance over the period were Singapore Post, World WrestlingEntertainment, and HCA holdings.

Investment Manager's Report (continued)

Singapore Post (-3%) obtained governmental approval for additional investments from Alibaba into Singapore Post, and intothe joint venture Quantium Solutions International ("QSI"). QSI will act as a platform to grow and enhance ecommercelogistics capabilities in Southeast Asia and Oceania, to serve the growing online retail markets in that region. Following thispositive news at the beginning of November, Singapore Post reported disappointing second quarter results that showedhigher ecommerce-related handling costs on the back of higher revenue levels. In addition, the startup costs of a newregional ecommerce hub were higher than expected, due to lower utilization rates. Despite the increased operatingexpenses, Dasym is confident in the future growth profile of Singapore Post. The company is positioned to benefit from theincreasing demand for cross-border ecommerce on the back of their partnership with Alibaba and the significant investmentsinto the right infrastructure.

Media consumption continues to grow, but the audience is increasingly scattered across different media, channels, platformsand devices. In such an environment, the value of audience-attracting content will continue to increase. World WrestlingEntertainment (WWE) (-3%) owns such distinctive audience-attracting content and combines this with its own over-the-topplatform WWE Network and a loyal following. However, the company reported disappointing third quarter results with lowerthan expected gross additions for the WWE Network, possibly as a result of viewers diverting to election coverage or thestart of the National Football League season. The company continues to invest into its talent and platform.

HCA holdings (-6%) is the leading U.S.-listed hospital with best in class EBITDA margins and solid revenue growth. HCA isbuilding out its in-house data analytics capabilities that combined with its large scale and growing outpatient capability,should enable the hospital to improve performance even further. In October and November, the share price suffered frompolitical uncertainty related to the U.S. presidential elections. The Obamacare repeal and replacement promised by Trumphad a negative impact on hospital growth and profitability. HCA's share price began to recover in December, as the impact ofpossible regulatory reforms on the company's bottom-line was smaller than envisioned by the market.

OutlookOver the coming years, the application of new technologies in the everyday life of consumers will accelerate further. As aresult, unexpected structural changes in consumer behavior will occur. These changes will re-rate sectors, creating growthpotential for certain businesses, while undermining the position of others.

Furthermore, as the pace of technological innovation increases, companies will exhibit anticipatory behavior. New conceptswill emerge providing the optimal set-up for companies. This will result in new company alliances, driven by a global wave ofmergers and acquisitions that Dasym expects to continue in the future. Because of this, understanding the strategic value ofdifferent companies within complex value chains will become more important for stock selection.

Dasym is optimally positioned to benefit from both trends: understanding changing consumer preferences driven by newtechnology is its core business, and it has a long history in identifying key assets in complex value chains. Dasym thus believesthat in 2017 it will again be able to realize attractive returns for its investors.

The Board of Directors of the Management Company is responsible for the design and implementation of the RemunerationPolicy and reviews this on a regular basis as part of its supervisory function. In reviewing the Remuneration Policy, the Boa rdof Directors of the Management Company will consider whether the remuneration framework operates as intended and thatthe risk profile, long-term objectives and goals of the Fund are adequately reflected.
