2. VAM FU-DS (LUX) - US FU-DS PERFORMA-CE

VAM Funds (Lux) - US Large Cap Growth Fund

The VAM Funds (Lux) - US Large Cap Growth Fund Class B shares, which is the largest share class, finished its year with a gain of

21.37% against the Russell 1000® Index gain of 21.69%.

VAM Fund (Lux) - US Mid Cap Growth Fund

The VAM Funds (Lux) - US Mid Cap Growth Fund Class B shares, which is the largest share class, incurred a gain of 24.27% in

comparison with the Russell 2500 Growth Index gain of 24.46%.

VAM Funds (Lux) - US Small Cap Growth Fund

The VAM Funds (Lux) - US Small Cap Growth Fund Class B shares, which is the largest share class, finished its year with a gain of

26.09% in comparison with the Russell 2000® Growth Index gain of 22.17%.

VAM Funds (Lux) - US Micro Cap Growth Fund

The VAM Funds (Lux) - US Micro Cap Growth Fund Class B shares, which is the largest share class, finished its year with a gain of

20.30% in comparison with the Russell Microcap® Growth Index gain of 16.65%.

The Investment Manager of the four above-mentioned Compartments of the Fund, Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“Driehaus”),

commented as follows:

The current macroeconomic environment has improved markedly over the past year with the US and most parts of the globe

benefitting from synchronized global economic growth. This positive backdrop is conducive to rising earnings and provides

fundamental support for the recent market gains. Many economic indicators have seen a sharp acceleration. The majority of recent US

macro data (initial jobless claims, personal income, Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI), business and consumer confidence, durable

goods, housing starts, etc.) support the prospect for sustained growth into 2018. As we enter 2018, most key economic statistics and

indicators are trending positively, with many at new cycle highs. The economic expansion is boosting most industries and most parts

of the economy. The synchronized global growth backdrop is healthy and provides a bullish environment for equities. Tax cuts are

incrementally boosting earnings (and helping valuations) and deregulation is helping business optimism. The Federal Reserve Chair

will transition to Jerome (Jay) Powell but the Fed’s accommodative monetary policy is expected to remain status quo. Naturally, there

are risks that could disrupt these positive conditions. The pace of growth could tip inflation higher causing the Fed to get more

aggressive with rates, ruining the current positive interplay between growth, inflation and rates. With the Fed raising rates, if the long

end of the treasury yield curve does not rise greater than the short end, the shape of the yield curve could flatten further. Trump’s

trade and immigration rhetoric could move from potential risks to actual policies with uncertain outcomes. Terrorism and the war of

words with North Korea could also result in dangerous scenarios. Finally, a deceleration in economic growth or earnings, even if

short-term, could cause a correction in equities and an increase in volatility.

In 2017, security selection and underweights to the health care and energy sectors contributed to the VAM Funds (Lux) - US Large

Cap Growth Fund performance. An overweight to the information technology sector and an underweight to the utilities detracted from

performance for the year.

For the year 2017, the VAM Funds (Lux) - US Mid Cap Growth Fund benefitted from security selection within the information

technology and health care sectors. Stock selection within the financials sector and overweight to the energy sector detracted from

performance for the year.

The top contributor to VAM Funds (Lux) - US Small Cap Growth Fund in 2017 was stock selection within the information

technology and financials sectors. The main detractor from returns for the year was security selections within the materials and

utilities sectors.

Over the course of 2017, VAM Funds (Lux) - US Micro Cap Growth Fund benefitted from stock selection within the information

technology and health care sectors. A key detractor from performance was an underweight to the telecommunication services and

materials sectors.

3. VAM FU-DS (LUX) – EX-US FU-DS PERFORMA-CE

VAM Funds (Lux) - Emerging Markets Growth Fund

The VAM Funds (Lux) - Emerging Markets Growth Fund Class B shares, which is the largest share class, finished its year with a gain

of 32.92% in comparison with the MSCI Emerging Markets Growth Index gain of 37.28%.

VAM Funds (Lux) - International Real Estate Equity Fund

The VAM Funds (Lux) - International Real Estate Equity Fund Class B shares, which is the largest share class, finished its year with a

gain of 18.91% in comparison with the S&P Developed ex-US Property Index gain of 22.89%.

VAM Fund (Lux) - World Growth Fund

The VAM Funds (Lux) - World Growth Fund Class B shares, which is the largest share class, incurred a gain of 28.63% in

comparison with the MSCI AC World Small Mid Cap Growth Index gain of 27.51%.

VAM Funds (Lux) – International Opportunities Fund

The VAM Funds (Lux) - International Opportunities Fund Class A shares finished the year with a gain of 33.70% in comparison with

the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Growth Index gain of 33.64%.

The Investment Manager of the four above-mentioned Compartments of the Fund, Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“Driehaus”),

commented as follows:

Multiple factors set the stage for a robust year of global equity market performance. Strong economic figures, notably European GDP

and North Asian trade data, confirmed a pickup in coordinated global growth. At the same time, subdued US inflation sustained

market expectations of a modest interest rate tightening cycle, while progress on tax reform lifted investor sentiment. Moderate

depreciation of the US dollar versus most major currencies further helped encourage risk-on sentiment during the fourth quarter.

Emerging markets completed a clean sweep for the year, leading global equity market gains in each quarter. For 2017 as a whole,

emerging markets rose 37 %, while global equities returned 22% and the S&P 500 appreciated by 22%. Accelerating earnings growth

and positive earnings revisions created a favorable backdrop for our investment approach in 2017. Key variables for 2018 will include

the yield curve and the Chinese economy. The potential for US growth and inflation expectations to rise, driven by fiscal stimulus or a

tightening labor market, could pull up the long end of the yield curve and drive a value rotation that may act as a headwind to our

style. Cyclical opportunities in countries that are recovering after having undergone significant economic slowdowns and adjustments

during the 2011-2015 period. Following a substantial easing of financial conditions over the past two years, we expect earnings

growth to be the primary driver of share prices, as further compression of the cost of equity may be more limited at this point in the

market cycle.

The VAM Funds (Lux) - Emerging Markets Growth Fund benefited from security selection and overweights to the consumer

discretionary and financials sectors for 2017. In addition, stock selection within China and India contributed to returns.

Underweight to the materials sector and an overweight to the utilities sector detracted from performance in 2017. From a country

perspective, security selection within South Korea and Brazil detracted from relative returns for the year.

During the year 2017, a key contributors to performance of the VAM Funds (Lux) - World Growth Fund was security selection within

the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. Additionally, security selection within Japan and Canada contributed

to performance.

At the sector level, security selection in the materials and financials sectors along with an underweight to financials detracted from

relative performance. At the country level, security selection within the South Korea and an overweight to Brazil also detracted from

returns.

The VAM Funds (Lux) - International Real Estate Equity Fund saw strong contributions to relative performance for the year from

security selection within Japan and an overweight to Germany.

Underweight to China and overweight to Indonesia also detracted value.

The VAM Funds (Lux) – International Opportunities Fund benefitted from security selection within the industrials and information

technology sectors. In addition, security selection within Japan and Switzerland contributed to relative performance.

At the sector level, detractors of value include security selection within the financials and materials sectors. From a country

perspective, underweights to India and Taiwan detracted from performance for the year.

Independent auditor’s report

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of VAM Funds (Lux) (the “Fund”) and of each of its compartments, which comprise the

statements of assets and liabilities and the portfolios of investments as at December 31, 2017, and the statements of operations and

changes in net assets for the year then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting

policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Fund and of each of its

compartments as at December 31, 2017, and of the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the year then ended in

accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the financial

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Law of July 23, 2016 on the audit profession (the “Law of July 23, 2016”) and with

International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”) as adopted for Luxembourg by the “Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier”

with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”) as

adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements,

and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities under those ethical requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have

that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors of the Fund is responsible for assessing the Fund’s ability to continue as a

going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the

Board of Directors of the Fund either intends to liquidate the Fund or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Responsibilities of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Law of July

23, 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be

expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Law of July 23, 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise

professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and

perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for

our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud

may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related

disclosures made by the Board of Directors of the Fund.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors of the Fund’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,

based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant

doubt on the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw

attention in our report of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures

are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report of the

“réviseur d’entreprises agréé”. However, future events or conditions may cause the Fund to cease to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The financial statements of the Fund are prepared in accordance with Luxembourg regulations relating to undertakings for collective

investments. The combined financial statements are expressed in USD.

a) Foreign currency translation

For the preparation of the combined financial statements as of December 31, 2017 in USD, the statements of each Compartment

denominated in currencies other than USD (the base currency) have been translated at the exchange rates prevailing as at the

date of the report (please refer to Note 11). Combined statements are obtained by the arithmetic sum of statements of each

individual Compartment.

In each Compartment, investments as well as other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated into the base

currency of the Compartment at the exchange rates prevailing as at the date of the report. The costs of investments are at

historical exchange rates. Transactions in foreign currency during the year are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of

transaction. Realised and unrealised exchange gains and losses, if any, are recorded in the statement of operations of each

Compartment.

b) Investments

The value of securities, which are traded on a stock exchange or traded on another regulated market providing reliable price

quotations are valued at the latest price available on the valuation day. In the event that any securities held in the portfolio are not

listed on any stock exchange or not traded on any other regulated market or if the price obtained as described above is not

representative of the fair value of the securities, the value of such securities will be based on the reasonably foreseeable sales

price determined prudently and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Fund.

The cost of investments sold is determined on the basis of the weighted average price method.

c) Forward foreign exchange contracts

Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at forward market rates for the remaining period from valuation date to the

maturity of the contract.

d) Futures contracts

Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into future contracts and can be made either in cash or securities. During the

period for which the future contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognised as unrealised gains or losses by

marking to market on a daily basis to reflect the value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments

are made or received, depending on whether unrealised losses or gains are incurred. Any unrealised gains or losses, if any, are

reported in the statement of net assets. When the contract is closed, the Compartment records a realised gain or loss equal to the

difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund basis in the contract.

Futures contracts remaining open at the closing date are valued by reference to the last known market price. Any unrealised gains

and losses, if any, are included in the statement of net assets.

e) Income recognition

Interest income is accounted for on an accrual basis.

Dividends are accrued on the date upon which the relevant security becomes ex-dividend. These are accounted for net of any

applicable withholding taxes in the relevant country.

f) Options

An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) the underlying asset at or

within a certain point in time in the futures at a pre-determined price (strike price) against the payment of a premium, which

represent the maximum loss for the buyer of an option.

Options remaining open at the closing date are valued by reference to the last known market price. Any unrealised gains and

losses, if any, are included in the statement of net assets.

3. �et asset value

a) Computation

The net asset value of a share type in each Compartment will be calculated by dividing the net assets of that Compartment

attributable to that type of share by the total number of shares outstanding of that type of that Compartment. The net assets of a

Compartment correspond to the difference between the total assets and the total liabilities of the Compartment.

b) Redemption of shares

Each Shareholder of any Class of a Compartment has the right to request at any time the redemption of her/his/its shares at an

amount equal to the net asset value per share of the relevant Class of the Compartment as described in the preceding paragraph.

For each Compartment the Fund may temporarily suspend the calculation of the net asset value per share, the redemption and the

conversion of shares under certain well defined circumstances as disclosed in the Prospectus.

The Fund must employ a risk management process that enables it to monitor and measure at any time the risk of the positions in its

The global risk exposure relating to financial derivative instruments may be calculated through the “commitment approach” or

through a Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) methodology. Generally, a Compartment that uses derivatives more extensively or as part of its

investment objective will utilize the VaR methodology, and a Compartment that uses derivatives less extensively will utilize the

commitment approach.

For all Compartments the commitment approach is used to calculate the global risk exposure.

takers, whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the Funds, remuneration principles that are

consistent with and promote sound and effective risk management and do not encourage risk-taking which is inconsistent with the risk

profiles, rules or instruments of incorporation of the Funds.

The policy is also in line with the business strategy, objectives, values and long-term interests of the Funds and is consistent with the

principles relating to the protection of clients and investors in the course of services provided and the avoidance of conflict of interest

as a result of the implementation of the said strategy.

The remuneration framework is overseen by the Board of Directors of VAM ManCo taking into account the Luxembourg

remuneration legislation applicable.

Members of the board of directors of VAM ManCo

The members of the board of directors of VAM ManCo are not entitled to any direct remuneration, with the exception of an annual

lump sum which reflects market practices and is subject to periodic reviews.

The achievement of certain performance targets at the level of the Funds does not influence the remuneration paid to board members

in respect of their performance of this activity.

Conducting Officers

The Conducting Officers are entitled to direct remuneration by VAM ManCo that is market competitive in order to align individual

awards with client and shareholder success and the business strategy, objectives values and interests of VAM ManCo, the UCITS and

their investors and avoid conflicts of interest.

The achievement of certain performance targets at the level of the Funds does not influence the fixed remuneration paid to the

Conducting Officers.

Risk Takers, control functions

The staff engaged in positions where risk is taken and control functions are compensated in accordance with the achievement of the

objectives linked to their functions, independently of the performance of the business areas that they control.

Annual Awards

Employees of VAM ManCo may be entitled to annual awards to recognize current year performance and closely align employees’

interest with those of clients and shareholders, differentially rewarding high performers and linking compensation to financial results

and other non-financial criteria.

During VAM ManCo’s first years of operation, due to the size of the assets under management, it is foreseen that it will be

disproportionate to apply the rules concerning variable instruments in remuneration, retention, deferral and risk for variable

remuneration. This policy will be reviewed annually and in any case when the assets under management reach EUR 5 billion or

equivalent.

17. Remuneration Policy (continued)

Elements of Remuneration

VAM ManCo ensures that fixed and variable elements of remuneration are appropriately balanced and the fixed component represents

a sufficiently high proportion of the total remuneration to allow the operation of a fully flexible policy on variable remuneration

components, including the possibility to pay no variable remuneration component.

Guaranteed variable remuneration is not granted.

Payments related to the termination of a contract reflect Luxembourg law and do not reflect performance achieved over time.

Application of this policy to delegates

VAM ManCo appoints delegates for the activities of administration, investment management and marketing activities. For entities

performing such activities, VAM ManCo undertakes to ensure that the remuneration policy in place within such entities are at least

equally as effective as those required by applicable law and regulation.

In context of delegation, VAM ManCo will ensure that the Delegates are subject to equivalent regulatory requirements on

remuneration that are equally as effective as the Luxembourg law of May 10, 2016.

Supervision

Any decision made in relation with the remuneration of Identified Staff will be specifically documented.

The implementation of the remuneration policy will be reviewed annually by the internal audit function of VAM ManCo and its

compliance with Luxembourg legal requirements will also be reassessed regularly by the Compliance Officer of VAM ManCo. Any

finding or need for update identified by one of these functions will be directly reported to the board for action.

In the implementation and supervision of the remuneration policy, any event, circumstances or indication that may give rise to a

potential risk of conflict of interest will be specifically addressed and the responses given to such situations specifically documented.

This policy will also be subject to the principles enounced in the conflict of interest policy of VAM ManCo.

Effective date

This policy has been approved on July 12, 2016 by the Board of Directors of VAM ManCo.

VAM ManCo reserves the right to amend this procedure from time to time if circumstances (e.g. changes to legislation and regulations

or progressive insight) make this necessary.

18. Transactions of securities and share capital transactions

Transactions of securities received after 9:30 p.m. (CET) if sent via SWIFT, 5 p.m. (CET) otherwise, on December 31, 2017, and

share capital transactions received for trade date December 31, 2017 were not included in the Net Asset Value calculated for the
