Net Asset Value

The Net Asset Value of each Fund or, if there are different Classes within a Fund, each Class will be calculated by the

Administrator as at the Valuation Point on or with respect to each Dealing Day in accordance with the Articles of

Association. The Net Asset Value of a Fund shall be determined as at the Valuation Point for the relevant Dealing Day

by valuing the assets of the relevant Fund (including income accrued but not collected) and deducting the liabilities of

the relevant Fund (including a provision for duties and charges, accrued expenses and fees and other liabilities). The

Net Asset Value of a Fund will be expressed in the Base Currency of the Fund, or in such other currency as the

Directors may determine either generally or in relation to a particular Class or in a specific case.

With the exception of KBI Institutional Long Bond Fund, Dealing Day means every Business Day or such other day

or days as may be determined by the Directors and notified in advance to Shareholders provided that there shall be at

least two Dealing Days in each month. For KBI Institutional Long Bond Fund, Dealing Day means every Friday (or

subsequent Business Day, where Friday is not a Business Day) or such other day or days as may be determined by the

exposure or such other day or days as the Directors may determine and notify in advance to Shareholders.

Investment Manager’s Report

KBI Institutional Long Bond Fund

At the beginning of the reporting period, all eyes were focused on the other side of the Atlantic where United States

(US) Republicans and Democrats continued their fight concerning the debt ceiling. A complete shutdown of the

government due to a lack of funds was avoided and a final agreement was ratified by the Congress in February.

Meanwhile the American economy continued its recovery only hampered by a very harsh winter depressing Q1

activity. By the end of the reporting period, its growth rate rose above 4 % on an annual basis.

Bond markets behaved gently during the remainder of 2013 with a sharp rally on both the US and the European bond

markets. In Europe, the important German parliamentary elections gave Mrs. Merkel a landslide victory but not an

absolute majority in the Bundestag. The grand coalition with the Socialist SPD took time to be established, but by the

middle of December, the new German government was a fact.

Meanwhile the leading economic indicators in Europe were pointing to a moderate economic recovery although Q3

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth was somewhat better than expected. But in early 2014 the outlook started to

cloud as the positive effect of a very mild winter disappeared and exports suffered from the strong euro, while

domestic demand remained subdued due to a lack of wage growth and better employment figures.

The gradual decline in Eurozone inflation figures, both on the headline and the core figure raised more and more

concerns about the possibility of a Japanese style deflation scenario. The European Central Bank (ECB) eager to

support the economic recovery and quell the deflation scare, lowered its key interest rate at the beginning of

November to just 0.25%. In June the ECB cut rates again and even imposed a negative deposit rate on excess bank

reserves. But headline inflation figures continued to move lower, pushed down by weak food and energy prices,

exacerbated by the strength of the euro. The August inflation figure was a mere 0.3%.

The ECB moves added more fuel to rally in the bond market in the first half of 2014, with long term rates declining

sharply. German 10 year yields dropped below the psychologically important 1% level. The peripheral markets were

the star performers. Spain did very well helped by better economic data with exports lifting the country out of

recession and prompting Moody‟s one notch upgrade to Baa2.

In Italy, the economic performance continued to be lackluster but the replacement of Prime Minister Letta by the

mayor of Firenze Mr. Renzi has raised high hopes that Italy will start reforming its labor market. With the profound

reform of the Senate, a first step has been taken but more has to be done e.g. the financial sector, the very slow legal

system.

But the number one performer was Ireland, where the government announced early this year that the EU backstop

facility was no longer needed and the country is now able to access the financial markets based solely on its own

credentials. Irish yields dropped firmly below the Italian and even Spanish level.

Investment Policy

The fund remained invested in long dated European government bonds. The portfolio mimics the characteristics of

its benchmark using a stratified sampling approach.

Investment Manager’s Report (Continued)

KBI Institutional Agri Fund

The KBI Institutional Agri Fund returned 16% for the year ended 31 August 2014, underperforming the MSCI

World by 5.3% which was up 21.2%.

The agri theme came under pressure during the year. The main reason for this tough environment for the Fund was

the significant weakness in emerging markets and their currencies. We also saw agri commodity prices weakening

on record harvest expectations and market sentiment regarding agri cycle peaking did not help either. The

agribusiness theme experienced a “perfect storm”, significantly underperforming broader equity markets. Due to

benign weather conditions globally, the huge supply expectations for agri commodities continued to help the agri

infrastructure and processor names. But on the other hand big harvest expectations kept downward pressure on the

commodity prices and that weighed on the agri commodity investor sentiment. It put pressure on the Supplier sector,

which is most dependent on commodity prices in terms of farmer income. Farmer income in turn impacts farmer

decision to invest in inputs. Big ticket machineries are the first ones to come under pressure and that was reflected in

the share price performances and management guidance from that sector.

Regarding the demand for agri commodity we have seen exports to countries like China and India holding up. Feed

demand is steady due to supportive protein prices. Infrastructure and weather issues drove ethanol profitability to

record levels. We have seen most of the company-specific catalysts playing out in terms of the announcement of cost

cuttings, increase in productivity and improvement in efficiencies, Mergers and acquisitions M&A, and management

focus towards generating shareholder value.

Overall the Processors sector significantly outperformed the broader market while the Producer and Suppliers

underperformed with Producers being the weakest sector.

Investment Outlook

Downward trajectory in crop prices continues as benign weather globally is helping farmers to produce another

record crop in 2014. Agri commodity prices are down between 15% and 25% year to date. But this should still be

favourable for the Fund as at these pricing levels farmers are still investing in yield enhancing inputs while demand

for the agri commodities remain healthy. The falling crop prices will keep a lid on input costs for farmers particularly

for the likes of fertilisers.

We remain bullish on the Processors and Services sectors, which are now positioned to improve margins and

earnings. The scenario is particularly bullish for the feed and ethanol sectors. The environment for ethanol processors

has been ideal due to strong supply coupled with strong consumption and is very likely to persist throughout 2014/15

and probably into 2015/16. They are benefiting from a well-balanced bio fuel market and stock levels that are neither

too tight nor exceedingly loose. Record new-crop corn harvests should continue to help ethanol margins given the

lowest feed costs in a half-decade, elevated refinery/blender demand and robust export sales. Ethanol prices are

unlikely to collapse because record run-rates and supply growth are supported by domestic and international demand.

We remain positive on the food and feed names as well under Processors as they start to benefit from material

decline in grain prices, specific cost cutting initiatives and efficiency improvements. Protein and related names

benefit from this trend while their pricings are holding up well due to strong demand.

Grain merchandising operations should benefit from increased crop volumes to leverage against their origination,

storage, and transportation assets. We are already seeing positive outlook statements from the industry players.

Those particularly exposed to Latin America should continue to benefit as farmers keep expanding their planted

areas despite tighter margins. This is because farmers remain capitalised from the last few years‟ weaker BRL

currency benefiting the farmers as they sell in USD and higher storage capacity that has being built in recent years

will enable the farmers to hold on to inventories for better pricing at a later date.

Investment Manager’s Report (Continued)

KBI Institutional Agri Fund (Continued)

Investment Outlook (continued)

These two sectors also support our agri secular themes of agri infrastructure build out and improved processing

efficiency to reduce waste and ultimately increase food supply. Within the processing sector we also like the food

processing machinery sector due to its secular growth fundamentals. According to reports, the global food processing

industry is set to grow at a significant pace with accelerated growth coming from Asia Pacific. Demand for global

food safety equipment for processing dairy, proteins and other food products is set to increase significantly.

However, this increase in supply is putting pressure on the Supplier and Producer sectors. We remain cautious on the

upstream Supplier sector. Anecdotes from the latest Farm Progress Show in US this month, show that farmers seem

clear in their desire to prioritise other spending over machineries. Due to various governments‟ support farmers are

not yet feeling the full pressure of low crop prices but if the prices remain low for next few harvests, we can see

further downside, which are not yet priced in this sector. However, Precision Ag has the potential to bring

transformational change in the industry and players with access to the „Big Data‟ are expected to be the winners.

This lucrative new market can become the next „parts market‟ in coming years and we expect collaborations between

various players in the space.

Within fertilisers, we feel that the long term oversupply situation will keep potash prices range-bound, albeit some

demand increase in the short term. Nitrogen remains strong as plant shutdowns in Ukraine create supply tightness.

Phosphates remain in a best position out of the three nutrients due to better supply/demand dynamics. Also

Phosphate prices have a stronger floor than its peers nitrogen and potash due to a large non-integrated capacity at the

high end of the cost curve and the rising cost of production. More than 40% of global Diammonium phosphate

(DAP) capacity has a cash production cost of c.$380/t (FOB) which should provide a stronger floor of c.$420-450/t

India CFR. We remain selective on stock picks in the fertiliser sector favouring companies with lower cost positions,

a portfolio of speciality higher margin products, management focus for shareholder return and companies with self-

help/recent merger integration levers to pull.

Seed demand and pricing should be holding up well in normal weather conditions as farmers look for yield

enhancing inputs. Crop protection demand remains steady with positive outlook for fungicides in particular as

delayed planting is giving rise to some disease pressure.

Overall we are also watching geopolitical situations particularly Ukraine, which might have cost and demand

implications for various commodities and products in the agri space.

KBI Institutional Alternative Energy Fund

The Alternative Energy Fund invests in companies involved in developing technologies that reduce our reliance on

traditional fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. With governments now committed to developing their own

extensive alternative energy generation capabilities worldwide, opportunities exist for companies involved in wind,

solar, tidal, biomass and fuel cell energy production.

The period from September 2013 to August 2014 was generally characterised by strong positive market returns. The

KBI Institutional Alternative Energy Fund gained 17.9% over the 1 year period to the end of August;

underperforming the MSCI World Equity Index which gained 21.2%.

The biggest positive contribution to performance over the course of the year came from the Renewable Energy

sector. Developers of renewable assets explored new financing structures such as securitisation of assets and yield

structures to lower their cost of financing. The strong demand for shares of a number of yieldcos launched during the

year at high valuation multiples led to a re-rating of renewable assets. This was to the benefit of our strategy as we

had favoured renewable developers with attractive growth pipelines. Our largest position in solar, SunEdison, rallied

strongly prior to the successful launch of its yieldco. As did two other holdings, Abengoa and Nextera Energy who

also launched successful yieldcos that were heavily oversubscribed. Elsewhere, the solar sector was strong as

company‟s earnings generally showed higher operating margins on the back of prices stabilising and strong demand

from key markets such as China, US and Japan. With strengthening solar fundamentals, we increased our weighting

by adding to the low cost manufacturers in China as the supply/demand dynamics turn more favourable. We added to

the leading polysilicon/wafer producer, GCL Poly, and also increased Canadian Solar – a low-cost module

manufacturer and a solar farm developer. The biomass names were also strong with the waste to energy player

Covanta surprising investors with more cost cutting and a higher dividend.

The energy efficiency sector underperformed the market as key holdings were sold off as macro data continues to be

mixed on a regional basis. Even those companies delivering in-line results and maintaining guidance sold off as

investors had baked in high expectations. European construction related stocks in particular underperformed

including SIG and Saint Gobain. ABB reported profits below expectations impacted mainly by charges and poor

execution in their Power Systems division. Weather effects had a negative impact on some US Building Efficiency

names earlier in the year, such as the insulation play Owens Corning, which although was expected still caused

shares to sell off. We took advantage of weakness to build up position in key holdings as recent leading indicators

were particularly favourable of a pick-up in US end markets. During the year, we increased our exposure to light-

emitting diode (LED) lighting players as the adoption of LED in general lighting is increasing faster than expectation

to the detriment of traditional lighting options.

During the year, the defensive Utilities sector was a positive contributor to performance amid continued pressure on

bond yields. The strategy gradually decreased exposure to the utilities through taking profit on the top performing

stocks.

Investment Outlook

The Fund continues to be leveraged to the recovery in the global macro economy, with the added impetus of

renewable and energy efficiency themes continuing to be in the forefront of policies from the US to China. The

strategy‟s largest sector is Energy Efficiency where we see the most attractive investment opportunities supported by

secular growth trends. Recent leading indicators related to US capital spending and construction spending have been

showing signs of acceleration, which is supportive of our positions. While the pace of European recovery has been

slow so far, we have added to industrial and early cycle exposure such as Prysmian which would benefit as markets

recover. The fund has increased exposure to electrical transmission spend in the US, through a holding in Quanta

which is forecasting double digit earnings growth due to the investment required in grid stability, integration of

renewable assets to the grid and shutdown of inefficient coal plants. Legislative mandates driving demand for more

fuel efficient and cleaner emissions solutions continues to come into place in 2014/15. These higher revenue/higher

margins solutions can drive earnings growth for market leaders such as Johnson Matthey and Johnson Controls.

KBI Institutional Alternative Energy Fund (Continued)

Investment Outlook (Continued)

With strengthening solar fundamentals, we have increased our weighting in solar stocks. We prefer the low cost

manufacturers in China as they are well poised to take advantage of a potential 14GW domestic market - as targeted

by central government for 2014. Following the success of a number of yield co launches in the renewable energy

sector, we expect additional consideration of YieldCo as well as other securitisation of assets in the year ahead.

These financing structures help to lower companies cost of capital, further enabling the lower cost of renewable

development throughout the world. We would look for opportunities that offer strong cash-generating assets in

secure regulatory environments, growth visibility and attractive dividend yields.

Investment Manager’s Report (Continued)

KBI Institutional Water Fund

The KBI Water fund was up 27.7% between August 2013 and August 2014, outperforming the broader equity

market, which was up 21.2%.

The period from September 2013 to August 2014 was generally characterised by strong positive market returns. In

the period, economic activity in the United States (US) appeared to be improving while Europe and Emerging

Markets have had mixed economic data.

The Water Fund performed strongly in this environment, outperforming the broad equity market (MSCI World

Index). Throughout the period, the Water Fund maintained an overweight position in the more cyclical Water

Infrastructure sector. The Water Infrastructure segment did well in the latter months of 2013 when much of our

relative outperformance in the period occurred. However, the segment leadership changed to Water Utilities for

much of 2014, with particular strong performance and contributions by United Utilities.

Top 3 Contributors:

United Utilities: United Utilities is a regulated United Kingdom (UK) utility. The stock had been trading close to

regulated asset base earlier this year amid uncertainty surrounding what the allowed rate of return for the sector

would be for the next 5 year regulatory period starting March 2015. Clarity around this key parameter provided by

the regulator on January 27 has set a floor under returns for the sector and hence better visibility going forward.

Xylem: Xylem is a global water equipment supplier, providing pumps, water treatment, and water testing equipment.

The upgrade to earnings in the back end of the year accompanied by a CEO change reignited interest in the stock and

saw upgrades to full year earnings estimates.

Flowserve: Flowserve is a US based leader in engineered pumps, valves, and seals into the global process industries.

The company is expected to be a primary beneficiary of the increased downstream process plant capital spending

cycle that is just underway. The potential for future upgrades to earnings continue to drive this stock.

Top 3 Detractors:

Sulzer: Sulzer manufactures industrial pumps and does rotating equipment maintenance. Recent earnings have been

disappointing as is the lack of insight into how they plan to deploy their significant cash balance. The company

seems to be leaning towards Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), a strategy that investors are wary about.

Itron: Itron is a global metering company in the water, gas and electricity space. The company took the opportunity

at their Q4 results to revise estimates for 2014 downwards based on the backlog momentum to date. This was clearly

disappointing and the lack of visibility continues to weigh on the thesis.

Nuverra Environmental Solutions: Nuverra provides water logistics and treatment solutions for oil and gas

companies. The company is in transition, as it has been for years, with plans to sell-off unrelated businesses and

move into higher margin service offerings. The recent news from the company continues to demonstrate the

complexity of the transformation.

Outlook and Strategy

We feel particularly good about the earnings growth and visibility in the portfolio given the most recent earnings

season and economic data. While our more cyclical Water Infrastructure sector has bounced back a bit, we feel that

the risk-reward outlook is as attractive as it‟s been for some time.

During the month we have continued to structure the portfolio to benefit from continued cyclical growth in Water

Infrastructure companies‟ earnings. We have paid for this portfolio shift through the reduction of exposure to

predominantly the Utility sector. It is worth noting that on average for the last five years of the fund‟s life, the most

meaningful part of our relative outperformance tends to come in the back half of the year.

KBI Institutional Water Fund (Continued)

Outlook and Strategy (Continued)

We haven‟t gone “all in” though and it‟s not all about just Infrastructure in the Water Strategy. We need to point out

that we continue to manage the volatility and downside in the portfolio, both through lower risk stocks and portfolio

risk management. Interestingly, we are finding our best defence ideas in companies with unique business models

such as Enercare in the Technology sector (water heater rental and sub-metering).

We continue to be optimistic about the return potential in the water strategy over the next 18 months. The portfolio is

expected to have mid-teens earnings growth, in both 2014 and 2015, combined with an approximate 2% dividend

yield, which can provide a strong total return next year. Obviously market multiples and the degree to which

company specific investment theses play out will impact the result. For 2014, we have a wider breadth of exposures

and investment theses than in the previous few years, giving us multiple ways to generate performance.

This month we continued along the trend of previous months where we sold down our Water Utilities, which have

performed well and are, as a result, less attractive on a risk-reward basis, and continued to increase our exposure to

Water Infrastructure stocks and to a lesser extent Technology stocks, with attractive end market exposures. We

remain at the high end of the range in terms of exposure to the Water Infrastructure sector at just over 55% of the

portfolio.

HD Supply, a US based distributor, was added to the portfolio at attractive levels after selling off post its IPO mid

2013 and we built it into being the stock‟s largest holding today at an attractive valuation. We also initiated a

position in Travis Perkins, the UK building materials distributor, earlier in the year, which now appears in our top 5.

Advanced Drainage Systems came to the market and we participated in the IPO at the lower end of the range. They

make plastic pipes for storm water management and drainage solutions. In terms of meaningful sales in the period,

we reduced our holding in UK regulated utility United Utilities after a strong Q1 2014 performance and sold out of

pump company SPX on the basis of valuation. We also sold out of our holding in Kurita, acknowledging that the

stock may have become somewhat of a value trap in the medium term.

HD Supply: HD Supply is a North American distributor. The highly levered company is a leader in its end markets

and continues to gain market share. Those end markets are particularly attractive to us, comprising mostly of non-

residential building construction and water utility capital spending. In addition to strong top line and significant EPS

growth, we do not believe the market is fully accounting for value accretive debt restructuring over the next few

years.

Wolseley: Wolseley is a specialist trade distributor for plumbing and heating products to professional contractors and

a supplier of building materials in North America, UK and Europe. The company has significant US residential

market exposure, and the outlook remains positive for this and other end markets. In addition, the company

continues to take share through growth initiatives and via trialling various sales and delivery models throughout its

network.

Calgon Carbon: Calgon Carbon Corporation manufactures and sells products for water and air purification. Seldom

has Calgon Carbon had more shots at goal than it does right now, driven by a combination of regulatory driven

growth markets over the next few years (e.g. air mercury reduction & ballast water treatment) and self-help

initiatives (e.g. lowering cost base & growing production capacity).

Travis Perkins: Travis Perkins is the largest builders merchant in the UK. Travis Perkins gives us high quality

exposure to the UK housing recovery, which is being helped by government initiatives and a recovering economy.

In addition, there is an element of a 'self help' angle to the story with a new management team in place since mid

2013, which is keenly focused on returns.

Enercare: Enercare is a Canadian based company that manages a water heater rental business and also provides sub-

metering services. In July, Enercare announced the purchase of the Direct Energy home services business from

Centrica, a deal which should be 25% accretive to their distributable cash flow in 2015. The target company was

acting as a channel partner in its water heater rental business, and actually used to be part of Enercare awhile back

before separating into two businesses for financial engineering purposes. Still yielding over 5%, we believe the

company has a very attractive cash generative business model and long term growth opportunities ahead.

KBI Institutional Water Fund (Continued)

Outlook and Strategy (Continued)

The water strategy has access to attractive investment themes of infrastructure spending, natural resource scarcity,

demographic shifts and climate change. The long term drivers behind the water strategy continue marching forward.

These can be broadly classified as:

• Population growth

• Urbanisation

• Industrialisation

• Increasing regulation

• Infrastructure rehabilitation

In addition, because the supply of water on earth is constant – arguably declining due to pollution and aquifer

depletion – and demand for water grows approximately two times the rate of population growth, the supply/demand

wedge continues to expand. As a result, the investment thesis behind investing in companies providing solutions to

global water problems becomes stronger over time. These solutions include increasing supply/access to water,

lowering demand, improving water and wastewater quality, and building out new and maintaining installed

infrastructure.

Participating in the water investment theme covers a broad range of business models and geographies, leading to a

well diversified global investment portfolio. The reason for this is due to the importance of water in the global

economy. Water, and the way in which we are able to participate in it through publicly traded investments, touch a

large variety of end markets, and this gives us the ability to manage risks and rewards through multiple market

environments.

With a 13 year track record of strong outperformance versus the MSCI World index, having outperformed in 11 of

the past 13 years, we continue to be optimistic that we will be able to continue to benefit from such long term secular

trends.

KBI Institutional GESS Fund

Overall, it has been a good 12 months for the fund in absolute terms. The KBI Institutional GESS Fund returned a

positive performance of 19.6% over the year. It did however underperform the MSCI World which rose 21.2%.

The period from September 2013 to August 2014 was generally characterised by strong positive market returns. In

the period, economic activity in the US appeared to be improving while Europe and Emerging Markets have had

mixed economic data.

The Water sector produced a stellar return and was the best performing sector, strongly outperforming the broader

equity market. Whilst Agribusiness and Energy Solutions showed strong absolute returns, they both underperformed

the broader equity market. As a result, the portfolio showed strong absolute returns overall but slightly

underperformed MSCI World.

The period from September 2013 to August 2014 was generally characterised by strong positive market returns. In

the period, economic activity in the United States (US) appeared to be improving while Europe and Emerging

Water performed very strongly over the period, both in absolute terms but also relative to the broader market.

Throughout the period, the sector maintained an overweight position in the more cyclical Water Infrastructure

The Agribusiness sector showed strong positive returns, although it did underperform the broader equity market. The

main pressure point came from the significant weakness in emerging market and their currencies. Additionally, we

also saw agri commodity prices weakening on record harvest expectations and market sentiment of agri cycle

peaking did not help either. Due to benign weather conditions globally, the huge supply expectations for agri

demand is steady due to supportive protein prices. Infrastructure and weather issues drove ethanol profitability to

record levels. We have seen most of the company specific catalysts playing out, in terms of announcement of cost

cuttings, increase in productivity, and improvement in efficiencies, Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and

management focus towards generating shareholder value.

Overall, the Processors sub-sector significantly outperformed the broader market while the Producer and Suppliers

sub-sectors underperformed. Producers was the weakest sub-sector, given its high emerging market exposure.

Investment Outlook

The combination of upside surprises to economic data in the US and recent European Central Bank (ECB) action to

counter weaker than expected economic data in the Euro Zone gives support to our thesis of further market gains in

the second half of the year. A combination of this market backdrop and a positioning within our environmental

strategies to benefit from this market backdrop underpins our optimism for the return of the GESS strategy for 2014.

The downward trajectory in agri commodity prices continued as benign weather globally is helping farmers to

produce another record crop in 2014. Agri commodity prices are down between 15% and 25% year to date. But this

should still be favourable for Agribusiness as at these pricing levels farmers are still investing in yield enhancing

lowest feed costs in a half-decade, elevated refinery/blender demand and robust export sales. Ethanol prices are

unlikely to collapse because record run-rates and supply growth are supported by domestic and international demand.

We remain positive on the food and feed names as well under Processors as they start to benefit from material

decline in grain prices, specific cost cutting initiatives and efficiency improvements. Protein and related names

benefit from this trend while their pricing are holding up well due to strong demand.

Within Renewable Energy, we maintain Energy Efficiency as the largest weight. We are satisfied that recent macro

data points regarding construction end markets in the US remains quite positive. We believe energy efficiency

spending could pick up pace in the second half of 2014 supported by new non-residential construction trends,

compelling economics on retrofit activity and new favourable legislation. LED lighting demand will continue to take

share from traditional incandescent and fluorescent applications; LED lighting products already offer a compelling

economic case and quick payback for many commercial and industrial applications. Further price declines will

accelerate LED adoption in the second half of 2014 in both the residential and non-residential end markets.

Improving economics and a more favourable financing environment continues to support growth in new Renewable

energy capacity. Costs have declined to such an extent that renewable energy can now compete without subsidies in

certain geographies. For instance, Solar in Chile and Wind energy in Brazil are two end markets where the project

economics work without subsidy support. Regulation continues to play a supportive role but the renewable energy

sector is no longer reliant on government subsidies to drive growth.

KBI Institutional Dividend Plus Emerging Markets Fund

The KBI Institutional Dividend Plus Emerging Markets Fund generated a return of 18.2% during the period under

review. Emerging markets were under pressure at the beginning of the period as the reduction in liquidity support

from the Federal Reserve put the spotlight on those countries running current account deficits given their reliance on

global liquidity to fund the deficits. Chinese initiatives to clamp down on the shadow banking sector only added to

the air of uncertainty across the region.

As this year progressed however a number of governments introduced self-help measures to dampen the impact of

the global liquidity withdrawal while the rally in global bond markets also alleviated some of the liquidity concerns

across the region. Positive election results in Indonesia and India supported the reform agenda while the emergence

of Marina Silva as a credible Presidential candidate in Brazil gave that market a significant boost. China introduced a

broad ranging reform programme while at the same time continuing to target corruption and shadow bank lending.

Escalating tensions between Russia and the Ukraine dampened investor optimism towards the end of the period. The

overall impact on markets was well contained.

The fund underperformed the benchmark by 2.3% during the period under review. The main contributor to

underperformance was stock selection in China. The underweight position in Chinese internet stock Tencent

Holdings detracted from performance as it registered a rise of 56.8% during the period under review. The

underweight position in major Brazilian banks Banco Bradesco and Itau Unibanco also contributed negatively to

performance. Stock selection was positive in Korea driven by defensive stocks such as Korea Tobacco and Ginseng

and SK Telecom.

Investment Outlook

Interestingly the initial withdrawal of liquidity support exposed specific areas of weakness across emerging markets

and forced the authorities in many countries to adopt self-help measures rather than simply relying on a pick-up in

global growth to rescue the region.

We have been concerned regarding corporate profitability and ongoing commodity price weakness has taken some of

the pressure off margins. Slower economic growth has dampened wage demands and this has enabled companies to

generate superior returns. There are also some early signs of improving capital discipline as management teams

finally focus on earnings rather than sales.

The strategy will continue to invest in companies which consistently deliver higher Return on Equity (ROE) and

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) than the market given the prudent and efficient way in which the management

teams finance their businesses. We believe it is these companies (who have the financial capacity to both sustain and

grow their dividends) which will outperform given the need to improve overall profitability and capital management

discipline across the region.

Investment Manager’s Report (Continued)

KBI Institutional Dividend Plus Developed Equity Fund

The KBI Institutional Dividend Plus Developed Equity Fund generated a return of 21.4% during the period under

review. Equity markets delivered strong positive returns over the period buoyed by increased confidence in the

sustainability of the United States (US) economic recovery. Economic data was less reassuring in Europe and Japan;

however the prospect of additional monetary stimulus measures enabled investors to look through the short term

weakness.

Economic activity continued to rebound in the US following the weather induced slowdown during the first quarter

of 2014. Despite the improvement in the economic data the Federal Reserve maintained a very supportive monetary

stance given excess capacity in the economy and the absence of significant inflationary pressures. In Europe the

European Central Bank (ECB) was forced to introduce a number of additional measures due to the weak growth and

inflation outlook across the Euro area. The consumption tax hike in Japan created some short term volatility in the

economic data however the government has continued with their programme of general administrative reforms and

this should support future economic performance.

The fund outperformed the benchmark by 0.6% during the period under review. Stock selection was positive in food,

beverage and tobacco driven by merger activity involving Lorillard, Reynolds American and Imperial Tobacco.

Merger activity also contributed to strong relative performance in pharmaceuticals as Pfizer attempted to acquire

AstraZeneca although the initial approach was unsuccessful. Stock selection was disappointing in software as the

defensive nature of the fund with a significant emphasis on free cash flow generation caused us to miss out on the

very strong performance generated by growth stocks such as Google and Facebook.

Investment Outlook

We anticipate that liquidity support will continue to be gradually reduced in the United States as economic activity

returns to a more self-sustaining path. Corporate confidence is clearly improving and is reflected in the increased

level of merger and acquisition activity while corporate capital investment is also recovering gradually.

Outside the US however growth will remain relatively muted in nominal terms and thus we continue to believe that

the search for yield and income will prevail and consequently we will focus on companies that are delivering high,

growing and sustainable dividends. As economic conditions normalise we will increasingly focus our attention on

dividend growth.

We will maintain the quality bias within the portfolio by focusing on companies with strong balance sheets and high

cash flow as these companies will be best positioned to maintain or grow their dividend while continuing to invest in

future growth opportunities.

KBI Institutional Dividend Plus Global Fund

The KBI Institutional Dividend Plus Global Fund generated a return of 21.3% during the period under review.

Developed equity markets delivered strong positive returns over the period buoyed by increased confidence in the

sustainability of the US economic recovery. Economic data was less reassuring in Europe and Japan; however the

prospect of additional monetary stimulus measures enabled investors to look through the short term weakness.

Emerging markets struggled at the beginning of the period due to concerns over defaults in the Chinese shadow

banking sector although they rebounded strongly following the introduction of a number of economic reform

measures across the region.

support export growth across emerging markets while the continued strength in global bond markets has alleviated

some of the liquidity concerns across the region.

The fund outperformed the benchmark by 0.5% during the period under review. Stock selection was positive in food,

Positive relative stock selection was delivered in utilities with Spanish utility Enagas and EDP from Portugal

performing strongly. Stock selection was also rewarded in capital goods led by Bouygues in France and Metso in

Finland. Stock selection was disappointing in banks due to the underweight position in Spanish Banco Santander and

the overweight position in Raiffeisen Bank.

KBI Institutional Dividend Plus Eurozone Fund

The KBI Institutional Dividend Plus Eurozone Fund generated a return of 21.4% during the period under review.

Developed equity markets delivered strong positive returns over the period buoyed by increased confidence in the

sustainability of the US economic recovery. Economic data was less reassuring in Europe and Japan; however the

prospect of additional monetary stimulus measures enabled investors to look through the short term weakness.

While the Eurozone has benefited from the recovery in global economic conditions there are still very few signs of

improving consumer or corporate demand within the region. The European Central Bank (ECB) were forced to

introduce a number of additional measures due to the weak growth and inflation outlook across the Euro area. These

measures included additional interest rate cuts, a targeted long term refinancing operation to support bank lending to

the real economy and the potential purchase of asset backed securities.

While corporate earnings have continued to disappoint across the region, investors are optimistic that the measures

introduced thus far will generate an economic and earnings recovery. Peripheral markets such as Italy and Spain

generated significant equity returns although core countries such as France, Germany and the Netherlands failed to

match the gains recorded by the periphery.

The fund outperformed by 3.9% during the period under review. Positive relative stock selection was generated in

utilities with Spanish utility Enagas and EDP from Portugal performing strongly. Stock selection was also rewarded

in capital goods led by Bouygues in France and Metso in Finland. Stock selection was disappointing in banks due to

the underweight position in Spanish Banco Santander and the overweight position in Raiffeisen Bank.

Investment Outlook

The recovery in the United States (US) economy should continue to support Eurozone exporters. The introduction of

additional monetary support measures should underpin internal growth across the region and should also lead to a

depreciation of the currency. We may finally get to witness the much anticipated recovery in corporate earnings.

Corporate balance sheets remain strong and we would expect to see companies distribute a significant portion of this

cash flow to shareholders in the form of dividends and share buybacks. The outlook for capital investment and

Merger and Acquisition (M&A) activity is less certain however given excess capacity in a number of industries and

the lackluster outlook for revenue growth.

We will maintain the quality bias within the portfolio by focusing on companies with strong balance sheets and high

cash flow as these companies will be best positioned to maintain or grow their dividend while continuing to invest in

future growth opportunities.

KBI Institutional Dividend Plus North America Equity Fund

The KBI Institutional Dividend Plus North America Equity Fund was launched on 24 October 2013. The Fund

generated a return of 13.0% during the period under review. Equity markets delivered strong positive returns over the

period buoyed by increased confidence in the sustainability of the United States (US) economic recovery. Economic

data was less reassuring in Europe and Japan; however the prospect of additional monetary stimulus measures

enabled investors to look through the short term weakness.

Economic activity continued to rebound in the US following the weather induced slowdown during the first quarter

of 2014. Despite the improvement in the economic data the Federal Reserve maintained a very supportive monetary

stance given excess capacity in the economy and the absence of significant inflationary pressures. North American

companies continued to focus on earnings generation despite relatively limited top line growth through the

combination of cost control, capital discipline and share buyback activity.

The Fund underperformed the benchmark by 3.0% during the period under review. The defensive nature of the Fund

with a significant emphasis on free cash flow generation caused us to miss out on some of the very strong

performance generated by growth stocks such as Google and Facebook. Stock selection was particularly

disappointing in diversified financials due to the overweight position in Canadian stock IGM Financial coupled with

underweight positions in more growth oriented stocks such as Morgan Stanley and Berkshire Hathaway. In energy

overweight positions in defensive stocks such as Exxon and Chevron detracted from performance. Stock selection

was positive in food, beverage and tobacco due to the merger agreement between Lorillard and Reynolds American.

Investment Outlook

While we expect that liquidity support will continue to be gradually reduced in the United States we believe that this

reflects a normalisation of economic activity. Corporate confidence is clearly improving and is reflected in the

increased level of merger and acquisition activity while corporate capital investment is also recovering gradually.

As economic conditions have normalised we have increased our emphasis on dividend growth and will continue to

do so over the coming months.

We will maintain the quality bias within the portfolio by focusing on companies with strong balance sheets and high

cash flow as these companies will be able to maintain or grow their dividend while continuing to invest in future

growth opportunities.

Directors' Report

The Directors present herewith the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements of the Company for the year

ended 31 August 2014.

● make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

● prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the

the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that its financial statements are prepared in

Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011 (as amended). They

are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company. In this regard they have entrusted the assets of the

Company to Northern Trust Fiduciary Services (Ireland) Limited trustee for safekeeping. They have general

responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors are also responsible for preparing a Directors‟ Report that complies with the requirements of the

Companies Acts.

Act, 1990.

Report of the Custodian to the Shareholders

We have enquired into the conduct of Kleinwort Benson Investors Institutional Fund Plc ("the Company") for the

year from 1 September 2013 to 31 August 2014, in our capacity as Custodian to the Company.

This report including the opinion, has been prepared for and solely for the shareholders in the Company as a body, in

Independent Auditors` Report to the Shareholders of Kleinwort Benson Investors Institutional Fund Plc

We have audited the financial statements of Kleinwort Benson Investors Institutional Fund Plc (the “Company”) for

the year ended 31 August 2014 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial

Position, the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares and the

Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes 1 to 26. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in

their preparation is Irish law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European

Union.

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Section 193 of the Companies

Act, 1990. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company‟s members those matters we are

required to state to them in an auditors‟ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do

not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company‟s members as a body, for our

audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors‟ Responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the preparation

of the financial statements giving a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the

financial statements in accordance with Irish law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those

standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board‟s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of the audit of the financial statements

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give

reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or

error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Company‟s circumstances

and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates

made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and

non-financial information in the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements to identify material inconsistencies

with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or

materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware

of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Opinion on financial statements

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view, in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union, of the state of the affairs

of the Company as at 31 August 2014 and of the profit for the year then ended; and

have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013, and the European

Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011, as amended.

Matters on which we are required to report by the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013

We have obtained all the information and explanations which we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit.

In our opinion proper books of account have been kept by the Company.

The financial statements are in agreement with the books of account.

In our opinion the information given in the directors‟ report is consistent with the financial statements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the provisions in the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013 which require us to report

to you if, in our opinion, the disclosures of directors‟ remuneration and transactions specified by law are not made.

comprising one or more Classes. The assets of each Fund will be separate from one another and will be

invested separately in accordance with the investment objective and policies of each Fund.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union

(EU) and in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1963 to 2013 and the European

Communities Undertakings for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities, Regulation, 2011 (as

amended) (the "UCITS" Regulations).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical estimates

and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements

and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are

based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ

from those estimates.

In preparing the Statement of Cash Flow under IFRS, cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in

hand, highly liquid interest bearing securities with original maturities of three months or less and bank

overdrafts.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

International Financial Reporting Standards

Standards and amendments to existing standards effective 1 January 2013

The following accounting standards became effective for the Company for the first time this year:

In December 2011, the IASB amended IFRS 7 „Financial Instruments: Disclosures‟ to include offsetting

requirements for financial assets and liabilities. Simultaneously the IASB made amendments to IAS 32

„Financial Instruments: Presentation‟ to clarify the criteria for offsetting, and also to address inconsistencies in

their application. The amendments affect all entities that have financial assets and liabilities that are either (1)

offset or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This includes

payables and receivables, which may consist of broker balances and cash balances in the same institution.

Entities will be required to disclose both gross information and net information about such financial assets and

liabilities to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial

position.

The amendments to IFRS 7 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, and interim

periods within those annual periods. The amendments to IAS 32 are effective for annual periods beginning on

or after 1 January 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods. These amendments are not expected

to have a significant impact on the Company‟s financial position or performance.

The Company adopted IFRS 10, „Consolidated financial statements‟, which builds on existing principles by

identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the

consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist

in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. This standard does not have any impact on the

Company‟s financial position or performance.

The Company adopted IFRS 11, „Joint Arrangements‟, which provides for a more realistic reflection of joint

arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form (as was

previously the case). This standard does not have any impact on the Company‟s financial position or

performance.

Standards and amendments to existing standards effective 1 January 2013 (Continued)

IFRS 12 requires entities to disclose significant judgements and assumptions made in determining whether the

entity controls, jointly controls, significantly influences or has some other interests in other entities. Entities

will also be required to provide more disclosures around certain „structured entities‟. IFRS 12 introduces new

disclosure requirements related to interests in other entities. The adoption of IFRS 12 has impacted the

Company‟s level of disclosures, but has not impacted the Company‟s financial position or results of

operations.

The Company adopted IFRS 13 „Fair Value Measurement‟, which replaces the fair value measurement

guidance spread throughout various IFRS‟s with a single source. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods

beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to

sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal market, establishes a framework for

measurement and sets out disclosure requirements. The standard does not create any new requirements to

measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The disclosure requirements under IFRS 13 are primarily

disclosures previously effective within IFRS 7. The standard removes the previously existing requirement to

use bid prices for long positions and offer prices for short positions when determining valuations in the

financial statements, and this change has been applied prospectively on adoption of this standard. The

adoption of IFRS 13 requires the Company to provide disclosures on financial assets/liabilities, not at fair

value through profit or loss which are disclosed in Note 3.

New standards, amendments and interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January

2014 and have not been early adopted

The following new standards, amendments and interpretations are not yet effective but will be applied, where

relevant, from their EU endorsed effective date. Where EU effective date differs from the IASB effective date,

these are explained below:

IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' does not currently have a mandatory effective date and amends IAS 39. IFRS 9

specifies how an entity should classify and measure financial assets, including some hybrid contracts. They

require all financial assets to be classified on the basis of the entity‟s business model for managing the

financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset; this classification

includes financial assets initially measured at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value

through profit or loss, particular transaction costs; subsequently measured at amortised costs or fair value.

These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets

compared with the requirements of IAS 39. They apply a consistent approach to classifying financial assets

and replace the numerous categories of financial assets in IAS 39, each of which had its own classification

criteria. They also result in one impairment method, replacing the numerous impairment methods in IAS 39

that arise from the different classification.

Amendments to IAS 32: „Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities‟ is effective for annual periods

beginning on or after 1 January 2014. These amendments clarify the offsetting criteria in IAS 32 and address

inconsistencies in their application. This includes clarifying the meaning of „currently has a legally

enforceable right of set-off‟ and that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net

settlement.

The amendments to IFRS 10 for Investment Entities defines an investment entity and introduces an

exemption to consolidate particular subsidiaries for investment entities. These amendments require an

investment entity to measure those subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in its financial statements.

The amendments also introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities in IFRS 12, „Disclosure

of Interests in Other Entities”, and IAS 27, “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements‟. The

amendment is effective from 1 January 2014 and has not been early adopted.

The amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Company‟s financial position or performance. b) Investments

(i) Classification, Recognition and Derecognition

IAS 39 (Revised) sets out the requirements for recognition and measurement of all financial assets

and financial liabilities including derivative instruments. The Company has classified all financial

instruments as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss on adoption

of IAS39.

The category of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

comprises:

Financial instruments held for trading. All derivatives in a net receivable position (positive fair

value) are reported as financial assets held for trading.

Financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.

These include equities, preference shares, REITs, rights issues, American Depositary Receipts

(“ADRs”), warrants and bonds.

Financial assets that are classified as held to maturity include time deposits. Loans and receivables

include balances due from brokers, deposits and accounts receivable.

Financial liabilities carried at amortised cost include bank overdraft, accounts and other payables.

Financial liabilities arising from Redeemable Shares issued by a Fund are carried at the redemption

amount, representing the Investor's right to a residual interest in that Fund`s assets.

The Company recognises financial assets and financial liabilities on the date it becomes a party to the

contractual provisions of the instrument, and all significant rights and access to the benefits from the

assets, and the exposure to the risks inherent in those benefits, are transferred to the Company. The

Company derecognises financial assets and financial liabilities when all such benefits and risks are

transferred from the Company.

b) Investments (Continued)

(i) Classification, Recognition and Derecognition (Continued)

A regular way purchase of financial assets is recognised using trade date accounting. From this date,

any gains and losses, arising from changes in fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, are

recorded on an average cost basis.

(ii) Measurement

Financial instruments are measured initially at fair value (transaction price) plus, in the case of a

financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are

directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction

costs on financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are expensed

immediately, while on other financial instruments they are amortised.

Subsequent to initial recognition, all instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss are

measured at fair value with changes in their fair value recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive

Income.

Financial assets and financial liabilities, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are

measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment loss, if any.

Financial liabilities arising from the redeemable participating shares issued by a Fund, are carried at the

redemption amount, representing the Investors' right to a residual interest in that Fund's assets.

(iii) Fair value measurement principles

The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market prices at the statement of

financial position date without any deduction for estimated future selling costs. Financial assets

and financial liabilities are priced at current mid prices. Prior to 1 January 2013, the quoted market

price used for financial assets held by the Fund was the current bid price; the quoted market price for

financial liabilities was the current asking price. The Fund adopted IFRS 13, „Fair Value measurement‟,

from 1 January 2013; it changed its fair valuation input to utilise the last traded market price for both

financial assets and financial liabilities where the last traded price falls within the bid-ask spread. In

circumstances where the last traded price is not within the bid-ask spread, management will determine

the point within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value.

If a quoted market price is not available on a recognised stock exchange or from a broker/dealer for non-

exchange-traded financial instruments, the fair value of the instrument is estimated using valuation

techniques, including use of recent arm's length market transactions, reference to the current fair

value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow techniques, option

pricing models or any other valuation technique that provides a reliable estimate of prices obtained

in actual market transactions.

b) Investments (Continued)

(iv) Impairment

Financial assets that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed at each statement of financial

position date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such indication

exists, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as the difference

between the asset‟s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted

at the financial asset‟s original effective interest rate.

If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss recognised on a financial asset carried at

amortised cost decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the

write-down, the write-down is reversed through the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(v) Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of

Financial Position where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and

there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.

(vi) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash comprises of current deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid

investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk

of changes in value, and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than

for investment or other purposes.

c) Income

Dividends, gross of foreign withholding taxes, where applicable, are included as income when the security is

declared to be ex-dividend. Bank interest income is accounted for on an effective interest rate. Swap

interest income is credited to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis. Interest income

on fixed and floating rate securities is accounted for on an effective yield basis. Income received arising on

fixed interest securities is recognised as a component of operating income. Further analysis of this

operating income is in Note 3.

d) Fees and charges

Investment management fees, administration fees, custody fees, sub-custody fees and other operating

expenses are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis.

e) Derivative Instruments

There are no open derivative contracts as at 31 August 2014 or 31 August 2013.

f) Collective Investment Schemes

Collective investment schemes which are traded in active markets are valued using quoted market prices at the

statement of financial position date. Collective Investment Schemes which are not publicly traded are normally

valued at the underlying audited net asset value as advised by the managers or administrators of these

Collective Investment Schemes, unless the Investment Manager is aware of good reasons why such a valuation

would not be the most appropriate indicator of fair value.

g) Redeemable Participating Shares

Redeemable Participating Shares are redeemable at the Shareholder‟s option and are classified as financial

liabilities. Any distributions on these redeemable participating shares are recognised in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income as finance costs.

h) Gains and Losses on Investments

Realised gains or losses on disposal of investments and financial derivative instruments during the year and

unrealised gains and losses on valuation of investments and financial derivative instruments held at the year

end are dealt with in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

i ) Taxation

Dividend and interest income received by the Company may be subject to withholding tax imposed in the

country of origin. Investment income is recorded gross of such taxes.

j) Securities Lending

The Company has a securities lending agreement with the Northern Trust Company who act as agent. The agent

in turn has entered into a securities lending agreement with each borrower on terms that the borrower shall deliver

to the Escrow agent, concurrently with or prior to the delivery of the loaned securities, collateral having a market

value at the time of delivery at least such value as determined by the lender or, in the absence of such

determination, at least equal to or in excess of 105% of the market value of the loaned Securities unless the

borrowed securities and collateral are denominated in the same currency then a collateral level of 102% will

apply. The Company uses J.P. Morgan chase Bank, The Bank of New York Mellon and euroclear Bank S.A. as

Escrow agents.

During the year ended 31 August 2014, all Funds were engaged in this programme. Details of their lending is

summarised in Note 12 to the financial statements.

The legal title of the securities on loan remains with the Funds of the Company and therefore these securities

form part of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss on the Statement of Financial Position.

k ) Distributions

As outlined in the "Background to the Company", KBI Institutional Agri Fund, KBI Institutional Dividend

Plus Emerging Markets Fund, KBI Institutional Dividend Plus Developed Equity Fund, KBI Institutional

Dividend Plus Global Fund, KBI Institutional Dividend Plus Eurozone Fund and KBI Institutional

Dividend Plus North America Equity Fund may distribute. Where applicable, distributions are classified

as Finance Costs in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. See Note 15 for details of distributions.

l) Foreign Exchange

The functional and presentational currency of the Company is Euro. The Directors have determined that this

reflects the Company's primary economic environment, as the majority of the Company's Net Assets

Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares are in Euro.

Foreign exchange gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and

loss are recognised together with other changes in the fair value. Net currency gains/(losses) as set out in

Note 4, are net foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary financial assets and financial liabilities other

than those classified at fair value through profit or loss.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, other than the functional currency of the Company,

have been translated at the rate of exchange ruling at 31 August 2014. Transactions in foreign currencies are

translated into Euro at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Gains and losses on foreign

exchange transactions are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in determining the result for

the year.

For the purposes of aggregating the financial statements of the KBI Institutional Water Fund and the KBI

Institutional Dividend Plus North America Equity Fund, the Funds‟ Statement of Comprehensive Income and

Statement of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares have been

retranslated into Euro at the average US Dollar exchange rate. The Statement of Financial Position has been

retranslated into the Euro value at the year end US Dollar exchange rate. This method of translation has no

effect on the Net Asset Value of the individual Funds.

2. Financial Risk Management

Strategy in using Financial Instruments

The Company consists of eleven Funds (2013: ten). The investment objectives of the Funds are

summarised in the "Background to the Company" on pages 2 and 3.

Day-to-day risk management is undertaken by the Investment Manager, as detailed in the sections below. The

Administrator and Custodian report separately to the Directors on a quarterly basis.

The Funds are subject to a number of investment restrictions imposed by external regulators or self-

imposed by the Prospectus and Memorandum and Articles of Association. These restrictions are intended to

reduce the risks associated with the Funds' financial instruments. The Investment Manager also reports

monthly to the Directors on whether the Funds have been operated in accordance with the investment

guidelines as defined in the Prospectus as well as any self-imposed limitations.

2. Financial Risk Management (Continued)

Strategy in using Financial Instruments (Continued)

In pursuing its investment objective, the Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk

(including market price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk that could result

in a reduction in the Company's net assets. The Investment Manager's overall risk management programme

focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the

Funds' financial performance.

These policies for managing risk have been applied throughout the year.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because

of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk

and market price risk.

The Investment Manager moderates market risk through a careful selection of securities and other financial

instruments within specified limits. The maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is determined by

the fair value of the financial instruments. The Funds' overall market positions are monitored on a daily basis

by the Company's Investment Manager and are reviewed on a regular basis by the Board of Directors.

At 31 August 2014, the Company's market risk is affected by three main components:

(a) changes in actual market prices ("market price risk"),

(b) foreign currency movements ("foreign currency risk"), and,

(c) interest rate movements ("interest rate risk").

(a) Market Price Risk

Market price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate

because of changes in market prices.

The Company‟s equities, debt securities and collective investment schemes are susceptible to market price

risk arising from uncertainties about future prices of the instruments.

The Directors of the Company manage the market price risks inherent in the investment portfolio by ensuring

full and timely access to relevant information from the Investment Manager. The Board meets regularly and at

each meeting reviews investment performance and overall market positions. The Directors monitor the

Investment Managers' compliance with the Company's objectives. There were no material changes to the

Company's policies and processes for managing market risk and the methods and assumptions used to

measure risk during the year. The Sub-Funds do not currently invest in derivative instruments and are not

involved in netting or hedging arrangements. The KBI Institutional Long Bond Fund is a long-only bond

fund. The remaining Sub-Funds of the Company are long-only equity funds. The global exposure is calculated

weekly for the KBI Institutional Long Bond Fund and daily for the remaining Sub-Funds by the Funds‟

administrator in the calculation of the net asset value. In the event that a Sub-Fund is exposed to derivative

instruments or netting or hedging activity, global exposure will be calculated based on the Commitment

Approach as outlined in the Company‟s Risk Management Procedure („RMP‟) document.

Details of the nature of the Funds' investment portfolios at the statement of financial position date are

disclosed in the Schedule of Investments on pages 118 to 213.

Conversely, if equity and collective investment scheme prices had decreased by 25% and bond prices had decreased by 15% (2013: 10%), at the statement of financial position date, with all other variables held constant, this

would have decreased net assets attributable to holders of redeemable participating shares of the Funds by an equal amount. Actual trading results could differ from the above sensitivity analysis and these differences may be

material.

(NB: the above sensitivity analysis is based on the assumption that only equities, collective investment schemes and bonds are exposed to market price risk).

(b) Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Certain of the Funds' assets, liabilities and income are denominated in currencies other

than Euro with the exception of the KBI Institutional Water Fund and the KBI Institutional Dividend Plus North America Equity Fund whose assets, liabilities and income are denominated in currencies other than US Dollars. They are,

therefore, exposed to currency risk as the value of the securities denominated in other currencies will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. Income denominated in foreign currencies is converted to the base currency of the Fund on recognition (accruals basis).

In accordance with Company policy, the Investment Manager monitors the Funds' currency position on a daily basis and the Board of Directors reviews it on a regular basis.

There were no material changes to the Company‟s policies and processes for managing currency risk and the methods used to measure risk during the year.

The tables below document the Funds' exposure to currency risks as at 31 August 2014 and 31 August 2013. All figures are stated in the base currency of the Fund (noted in parentheses).

(c) Interest Rate Risk

The Funds' interest bearing financial assets and financial liabilities expose them to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on their financial position and cash flows.

Interest rate risk is managed, in part, by the security selection process of the Investment Manager which includes predictions of future events and their impact on interest rates, diversification and duration. In accordance with Company

policy, the Investment Manager monitors the Funds' overall interest sensitivity on a daily basis and the Board of Directors review it on a regular basis. There were no material changes to the Company's policies and processes for managing

interest rate risk and the methods used to measure risk since the prior year end.

As at the Statement of Financial Position date, only the KBI Institutional Long Bond Fund had significant exposure to interest rate risk. The tables overleaf summarise the KBI Institutional Long Bond Fund's exposure to interest rate risk. It

includes the Fund's assets and trading liabilities at fair values, categorised by the earlier of contractual re-pricing or maturity dates.

Credit Risk

The Company takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty or an issuer will be unable to pay amounts in full when due. Impairment provisions are provided for losses that have been incurred by the Statement of

Financial Position date, if any.

The carrying amounts of financial assets best represent the maximum credit risk exposure at the Statement of Financial Position date. In accordance with Company policy, the Investment Manager monitors the Funds' overall credit risk

on a daily basis and the Board of Directors review it on a regular basis. There were no material changes to the Company's policies and processes for managing credit risk and the methods used to measure risk since the prior year end.

As at the Statement of Financial Position date, the Funds' financial assets exposed to credit risk amounted to the following:

The amounts in the above tables are based on the carrying value of all accounts.

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

Each Fund's Investment Manager analyses credit concentration based on the counterparty of the financial assets that the Fund holds. Details of counterparties, where applicable, are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.

Substantially all of the cash assets are held with the Northern Trust Company, London Branch (NTC). Cash deposited with NTC is deposited as banker and is held on its Balance Sheet. Accordingly, in accordance with usual banking

practice, NTC liability to the Fund in respect of such cash deposits shall be that of debtor and the Fund will rank as a general creditor of NTC. The financial assets are held with the Custodian, Northern Trust Fiduciary Services (Ireland) Limited. These assets are held distinct and separately from the proprietary assets of the Custodian. Securities are clearly recorded to ensure they are held on behalf of the Fund. Bankruptcy or insolvency of the Custodian and or one of its

agents or affiliates may cause the Fund‟s rights with respect to the securities held by the Custodian to be delayed.

Credit Risk (Continued)

Both Northern Trust Fiduciary Services (Ireland) Limited and the Northern Trust Company, London Branch are wholly owned subsidiaries of Northern Trust Corporation. As at 31 August 2014 Northern Trust Corporation had a long

term rating from Standard & Poor‟s of A+.

Risk is managed by monitoring the credit quality and financial positions of the Custodian the Company uses.

Northern Trust acts as its own sub-custodian in the U.S., the U.K., Ireland and Canada. In all other markets Northern Trust appoints a local sub - custodian. Northern Trust continually reviews its sub-custodian network to ensure clients

have access to the most efficient, creditworthy and cost-effective provider in each market.

The Company has a securities lending agreement with The Northern Trust Co. who act as agent. The agent in turn has entered into a securities lending agreement on behalf of the Company, with each borrower on terms that the

borrower shall deliver to the Escrow agent, concurrently with or prior to the delivery of the loaned securities, collateral having a market value at the time of delivery of at least equal to or in excess of 102%, where the collateral currency equals the security currency or 105% of the market value of the loaned securities in all other cases. Note 12 contains details of the securities lending agreement.

The Funds invest in debt securities, which have an investment grade as rated by a well-known rating agency. For unrated assets a rating is assigned using an approach that is consistent with rating agencies.

Liquidity Risk

The main liability of the Funds is the redemption of any shares that investors wish to sell. The Funds‟ constitution provides for the daily creation and cancellation of shares and they are, therefore, exposed to the liquidity risk of meeting shareholder redemptions at any time.

The Funds‟ financial instruments include bonds which may not be easily liquidated at an amount close to fair value in order to meet liquidity requirements, or to respond to specific events such as deterioration in the credit worthiness of any particular issuer. The Funds‟ listed securities are considered to be readily realisable as they are all listed on major worldwide stock exchanges.

The Funds may, from time to time, invest in derivative contracts traded over the counter, which are not traded in an organised market and may be illiquid. As a result, the Funds may not be able to liquidate quickly its investments in

these instruments at an amount close to their fair value to meet its liquidity requirements or to respond to specific events such as deterioration in the creditworthiness of any particular issuer.

In accordance with Company policy, the Investment Manager monitors the Fund's liquidity position on a daily basis and the Board of Directors review it on a regular basis.

There were no material changes to the Company's policies and processes for managing liquidity risk and the methods used to measure risk since the prior year end.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Most of the Funds' financial instruments are carried at fair value on the Statement of Financial Position. Usually the fair value of the financial instruments can be reliably determined within a reasonable range of estimates. For certain

other financial instruments, including amounts due from/to brokers, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of all of the Funds' financial assets and liabilities at the Statement of Financial Position date approximated their fair values.

Fair Value Disclosure

IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosure" requires disclosure relating to the fair value hierarchy in which fair value measurements are categorised for assets and liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position.

The disclosures are based on a three-level fair value hierarchy for the inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value.

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities traded in an active market (such as traded securities) are based on latest available quoted mid-market prices for Funds priced at midday and at the closing mid prices for other

Funds.

A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if the quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent

actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Funds use a variety of methods and make assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at the year end date.

The Funds classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2). - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and, therefore, classified within Level 1, include active listed equities. Level 2 includes collective investment schemes. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these instruments.

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2.

The Level 2 amounts above represent bonds, collective investment schemes and equities.

Chaoda Modern Agriculture is a Level 3 investment held at 31 August 2014 by KBI Institutional Agri Fund and KBI Institutional GESS Fund. Chaoda Modern Agriculture shares were suspended from trading on 26 September 2011 due

to reports of a long running fraud. In May 2012 an announcement was made stating that in order for trading of the shares to resume, the company must a) address the allegations made against the company in the Anonymous report, b)

publish all outstanding financial results and reports and c) demonstrate adequate financial reporting procedure and internal control systems. On 18 August the Company announced that new auditors had been appointed and that it would

“keep its shareholders informed of the progress of the Resumption by way of announcement(s) as and when appropriate”.

Chaoda Modern Agriculture was priced at HK0.77 on 31 August 2013. Following a Pricing Committee meeting of Kleinwort Benson Investors Dublin Limited (the “Investment Manager”) on 6 November 2013, it was decided to further

write down the price of this stock by 30% of the price on suspension (HKD 1.10) thus bringing it to HK0.44.Given the lack of progress and taking into account the recommendation of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) of the

Investment Manager, it was agreed to write down the price by a further 20% of the price at suspension thus reducing the current price by 50% from HKD0.44 to HKD0.22.

Amiad Water Systems Ltd transferred into Level 3 during the period. It is held by the KBI Institutional Water Fund. The price had been static for a number of days prior to the period end. There was no dealing on the stock at 29 August

2014 and the stock is relatively illiquid.

If the Company had devalued these stocks by 30%, based on a reasonable Private versus Public company discounted percentage value and based on a recommendation by the Investment Manager, the effect on the statement of

comprehensive income would be as follows:

KBI Institutional Agri KBI Institutional GESS KBI Institutional Water

Fund Fund Fund

EUR EUR USD

Decrease in Net Assets attributable to holders of redeemable participating units of the Fund 12,383 7,319 354,087

Conversely, if the Company had revalued the stock upwards with all other variables held constant, this would have an equal but opposite effect on the fair value of Level 3 investments. Actual trading results may differ from this

sensitivity analysis and this difference may be material.

There was one Level 3 instrument as at 31 August 2013, Chaoda Modern Agriculture. Chaoda Modern Agriculture was priced at HK1.10 on 31 August 2012. Since then it has been discounted by 20% in November 2012 and by 10% in

May 2013 bringing the price to HK0.77 at 31 August 2013. Following a Pricing Committee meeting of Kleinwort Benson Investors Dublin Limited (the “Manager”) on 6 November 2013, it was decided to further write down the price of

10. Share Capital

Participating Shares

The authorised share capital of the Company is 500,000,000,000 Shares of no par value and 300,000 redeemable non-participating shares of EUR 1 each. Non-participating shares do not entitle the holders thereof to any dividend and on a winding up entitle the holders thereof to receive the amount paid up thereon but do not otherwise entitle them to participate in the assets of the Company. The Directors have the power to allot shares up to the authorised share capital of the

Company. There are 300,000 non-participating shares of EUR1 each currently in issue which were taken by the subscribers to the Company and are held by the Investment Manager and its nominees. The Investment Manager may redeem these

Shares shortly after the Company is launched provided that the Company maintains a minimum capital amount of EUR300,000 at all times.

Variation of rights

The rights attached to any class may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths in number of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class, and may be so varied or abrogated either whilst the Company is a going concern or during or in contemplation of a winding-up.

Voting rights Subject to disenfranchisement in the event of non-compliance with any notice requiring disclosure of the beneficial ownership of shares and subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, on a

show of hands at a general meeting or class meeting of the Company, every Shareholder holding shares who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote and on a poll every Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one

vote for every share of which he/she is the holder.

Distribution on winding up

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, if the Company shall be wound up the liquidator shall apply the assets of each Sub-Fund in such manner and order as he thinks fit in satisfaction of creditors' claims relating to that Sub-Fund.

The assets available for distribution amongst the holders shall be applied as follows:

(i) firstly, in the payment to the Shareholders of each Class or Fund of a sum in the Functional Currency (or in any other currency selected and at such rate of exchange as determined by the liquidator) as nearly as possible equal to the Net

Asset Value of the Shares of the relevant Class or Fund held by such Shareholders respectively as at the date of commencement of winding up;

(ii) secondly, in the payment to the holders of non-participating shares of sums up to the nominal amount paid up thereon out of the assets of the Company not comprised within any Fund provided that if there are insufficient assets to enable such payment in full to be made, no recourse shall be had to the assets comprised within any of the Funds;

(iii) thirdly, in the payment to the Shareholders of each Class or Fund of any balance then remaining in the relevant Fund, in proportion to the number of Shares held in the relevant Class or Fund; and,

(iv) fourthly, any balance then remaining and not attributable to any Fund or Class shall be apportioned between the Funds and Classes pro-rata to the Net Asset Value of each Fund or attributable to each Class immediately prior to any distribution to Shareholders and the amounts so apportioned shall be paid to Shareholders pro-rata to the number of Shares in that Fund or Class held by them.
