1. INVESTMENT POLICY
LEGAL FORM French Mutual Fund (FCP). CLASSIFICATION Balanced.
ALLOCATION OF PROFIT AND LOSS Net gains/losses are attributed to the five classes of units in proportion to their share in total net assets. A, I and R units accumulate income, while D and ID units distribute income annually. UCITS of UCITS Up to 100% of net assets.
MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE The Fund’s goal is to maximise performance over the duration of the recommended investment through discretionary and active management in terms of asset allocation: equities, bonds, sectors, countries, issuers, currencies. BENCHMARK INDEX The Fund has no benchmark index; its investment scope is not represented by existing indices. The mention of an indicator, even a composite index, could lead to misunderstanding on the part of the investor. INVESTMENT STRATEGY The management company uses a discretionary management style. The Fund’s assets will be invested mostly in coordinated French or European UCITS units or equities and in ETFs. Up to 50% of the Fund’s net assets will be exposed to equity risk, either directly or via UCITS funds or derivatives. Exposure to interest rate and monetary risk, either directly or via UCITS funds or derivatives, will move within a sensitivity range set between -10 and 10. These assets shall be selected in accordance with the strategy described hereinafter: - An allocation of assets to determine the weighting of equity and bond asset classes. This is determined according to: . macroeconomic context: anticipated economic growth, monetary policy in different areas, or currency parity prospects; . profit growth for companies (of all sizes) given the valuation levels of different markets and the evolution of liquidity; All these elements make it possible to define the anticipated performance of each of the major asset classes,
equities and bonds. Within each of the two asset classes - equities and bonds - the management company applies the following
procedures: . Share-based units: - Equity exposure will be limited to 50% of the Fund's net assets. The selection of equities and UCITS funds will give priority to investment policies focused on the search for stocks whose price growth projections exceed the market average.
4
The geographical allocation will include international equity markets, including emerging markets, up to 20% of the net assets. In addition, certain specific themes relating to economic conclusions and company analyses will be chosen according to their potential for performance. Nevertheless, small-capitalisation companies may not represent more than 20% of the net assets. . Bond-based units: - With regard to investment in bond-type UCITS funds or equivalent and direct investment in debt securities, the manager determines allocation within the main bond markets (government bonds, “investment grade” credit market, high-yield credit market, emerging countries debt market, convertible bond markets and monetary assets) depending on analysis of the rate curve, issuer quality and equity sensitivity. The geographical allocation will focus primarily on equity markets in OECD countries. Exposure to emerging debt markets could nevertheless represent up to 20% of the Fund's net assets. Exposure to the high-yield bond market may not represent more than 40% of the Fund's net assets. The Fund’s overall exposure to emerging markets will be limited to 20% of its net assets. - A selection of funds determined as follows: - the funds may be managed by the management company or an affiliated company; - the choice of these UCITS funds follows the management company’s own process, using qualitative and
quantitative criteria. Moreover, the Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in units or shares of French alternative UCITS funds
approved by the AMF. The Fund may invest in forward financial derivative instruments traded on French and foreign regulated or over-the-counter markets: futures, options, and swaps. Each derivative instrument meets a specific hedging, arbitrage or exposure strategy seeking to: - provide general hedging of the portfolio or of certain asset classes held against equity, interest rate or currency risks; - synthetically reconstitute specific assets; or - change exposure to market risk with a view to achieving the management objectives. The use of derivatives is not intended to expose the Fund to interest rate risks beyond the sensitivity range, set
between -10 and 10, and to equity risks exceeding 50% of the net assets. RISK PROFILE Your money will be mainly invested in the financial instruments selected by the management company. These instruments will be subject to market trends and fluctuations. The risk factors described below are not exhaustive. It is the responsibility of each investor to analyse the risk associated with such an investment and to form his/her own opinion independent of the Edmond de Rothschild Group, and, if necessary, to consult advisors specialising in such matters in order to ensure that this investment is appropriate to his/her financial situation. Main risks: Capital risk: The UCITS does not guarantee or protect the capital invested, so investors may not recover the full amount of their initial capital invested, even if they retain their units for the recommended investment period. Discretionary management risk: The discretionary management style is based on anticipations of trends on the different markets (equities, bonds). However, the UCITS may not be invested in the best-performing markets at all times. Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk could result in a fall in the value of the Fund’s capital in the event of an upward movement in the yield curve. The bond markets’ direction is inverse to that of the interest rate markets. The Fund uses "sensitivity" criteria to measure the impact of a variation in interest rates. In effect, sensitivity measures the impact of variation in interest rates on the UCITS’s net asset value.
5
Thus, for a 1% increase in rates, a sensitivity rating of +10 translates into a 10% decline in the UCITS’s net asset value. A downward rate curve might result in a decrease in the value of the Fund’s net asset value if the Fund’s sensitivity
is negative. Credit risk: The main risk is that of default by the issuer, involving either the non-payment of interest and/or the non-repayment of capital. Credit risk is also linked to the deterioration of an issuer. The attention of unitholders is drawn to the fact that the Fund’s net asset value is likely to fall if a total loss is recorded on a transaction following default by a counterparty. The inclusion of private corporate debt in the portfolio, whether directly or through UCITS, exposes the Fund to the effects of variations in credit quality. Currency risk: The Fund may hold, either directly or through UCITS, equities denominated in currencies other than the Fund’s account currency; as a result, exchange rate fluctuations may have a negative impact on the Fund’s net asset value. Currency risk can be hedged using derivative instruments. Equity risk: The manager seeks equities that may outperform the markets, in both bull and bear phases. In the event of a downturn in the equity markets, the net asset value of the Fund may fall. Considering that the Fund may also invest in small capitalisations, investors are reminded that small capitalisation markets are intended for companies that, due to their specific characteristics, may represent risks for investors. Risks associated with emerging markets: The Fund may invest in emerging markets. The risk associated with these investments is due, in particular, to the operating and supervision conditions of these markets, which may differ from the standards prevailing in the major international markets and may lead to stronger and faster market movements. Risk related to investment in high-yield instruments: The Fund may be exposed to a risk linked to investment in high-yield financial instruments, which present a higher default risk than investment-grade instruments. In case of default, the value of these instruments may decline sharply, with the resulting negative impact on the Fund’s net asset value. Risk associated with the use of derivative instruments: The use of forward financial instruments might entail the risk of a sharper, more abrupt drop in net asset value than
in markets where the FCP invests. Secondary risks: Risk associated with investment in certain alternative fund UCITS funds: The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in alternative French UCITS units or shares. Alternative UCITS funds are not subject to the same rules as “all-investor” UCITS funds and can therefore involve a greater risk. In particular, they involve a liquidity risk linked to the difficulties the fund manager may encounter in selling the underlying UCIs. This liquidity risk can have a negative impact on the net asset value of alternative UCITS funds held by the Fund and on transparency with regard to the Fund’s value. TARGET SUBSCRIBERS AND TYPICAL INVESTOR PROFILE A and D units are intended for all investors. I, ID and R units are intended for legal entities with the capacity to make an initial subscription of EUR 500,000. Minimum initial subscription: - A and D units: one unit. - I, ID and R units: EUR 500,000.

This Fund is especially intended for investors wishing to maximise performance over a 2-year horizon, regardless
of the market situation. The units of this UCITS are not and will not be registered in the United States under the US Securities Act of 1933 as amended ("Securities Act 1933") or under any other law of the United States. These units may not be offered, sold or transferred to the United States (including its territories and possessions) or benefit, directly or indirectly, any US Person (as defined by regulation S of the 1933 Securities Act). The appropriate amount to invest in this Fund depends on your personal situation. To determine their level of investment, investors are encouraged to seek professional advice in order to diversify their investments and determine the proportion of their financial portfolio or assets to be invested in this Fund relative more specifically to the recommended investment period and exposure to the aforementioned risks and their personal assets, their requirements and their own objectives. In any event, unitholders must diversify their portfolio sufficiently to avoid being solely exposed to the risks of this Fund. Minimum recommended investment period: 2 years.

3. MANAGEMENT REPORT
On an economic level, contrasting results were observed at different times of the year and in various regions, as the USA started the year badly only to end on a much more positive note, while the results recorded in Europe and the emerging countries declined over the course of the year. There were several reasons for this turnaround. In the USA, the highly flexible monetary policy limited the downward trend of the housing market and boosted the financial markets, despite fears about the budget and political consensus. In Europe, the debt situation seemed to be at risk during the summit on 21 July, when the heads of state and government were forced to save Greece. Since then, each “rescue plan” fuelled further fears and had a negative effect on the economy, and the year that had started on a positive note seemed to be teetering on the verge of recession after just a few months. In many emerging countries, especially China, India and Brazil, the central banks tightened their monetary conditions to combat inflation over the first six months before gradually focusing on less restrictive growth policies. The markets respected the revised economic data, as the USA significantly outperformed Europe and the emerging countries. In terms of the various sectors, the financial sector again suffered most due to its association with the risk of sovereign debt, previously long considered as risk free. The most cyclical sectors also declined. Bonds were used either as a safe haven (USA, UK, Germany) or had a negative effect (Greece, Italy, Spain). In this context, the main management decisions taken were as follows: Since the summer, fund managers have adopted greater prudence in relation to equities, fearing that government measures taken to appease the bond markets would dampen the potential for growth. This translated, in particular, through the setting up of a protection plan via derivatives. We have favoured emerging and European shares and, since the summer, Japan, to the detriment of American stocks, which rapidly seemed to become expensive. We took positions in emerging debt markets, convertible and high-yield bonds and the overall sensitivity of the
Fund was negative in terms of American and German interest rates. Over the period, performance was -7.09% for unit A. Over the period, performance was -6.62% for unit R. Since its creation on 15 July 2011, performance was -6.07% for unit (D). Over the period, performance was -6.20% for unit (I). Since its creation on 15 July 2011, performance was -5.61% for unit (ID). Past performance is not an indication of future performance.

I. OPINION ON THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We conducted our audit in accordance with professional auditing standards applicable in France, which require us to carry out
an audit in order to obtain reasonable assurance that the annual financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
involves examining, on a test basis or using other selection methods, the evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
contained in the annual financial statements. It also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant
estimates made in preparing the annual financial statements, as well as evaluating their overall presentation. We believe that
the evidence gathered is sufficient and appropriate to justify our opinion.
We certify that the annual financial statements are, in conformity with French accounting rules and principles, accurate and
consistent, and give a true and fair view of the financial performance of the previous financial year as well as the financial
situation and assets of the UCITS at the end of the financial year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ACCOUNTING METHODS AND RULES The annual financial statements are established in accordance with the provisions set out in Accounting Regulatory
Committee (CRC) regulation no. 2003-02, as amended, relating to accounting guidelines applicable to UCITS. The general principles of accounting apply: - a true and fair view, comparability and operational continuity; - lawfulness and fairness; - prudence; - consistency in accounting methods from one financial year to the next. Income from fixed income securities is recorded on the basis of interest received. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded exclusive of costs. The base currency of the portfolio is the euro. The financial year’s duration is 12 months. Asset valuation rules Financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements according to the historical cost method and on the balance sheet at their current value as determined by the last-known market value or, where a market does not exist, by any external means, or by the use of financial models. Differences between current values used to calculate net asset value and the historical costs of transferable securities when these were first included in the portfolio are recorded in the "valuation differentials" account. Securities not denominated in the same currency as the portfolio are valued in accordance with the methods described below; the valuation is then converted into the currency of the portfolio based on the prevailing exchange rate on the valuation date. Deposits: Deposits with a residual maturity of less than or equal to three months are valued according to the straight-line
method. Equities, bonds and other securities traded on a regulated or assimilated market: For the calculation of the net asset value, equities and other securities traded on a regulated or assimilated market
are valued according to the last market price of the day. Bonds and other assimilated securities are valued at the closing price supplied by various financial service
providers. Interest accrued on bonds and assimilated securities is calculated up to the net asset value calculation
date. Equities, bonds and other securities not traded on a regulated or assimilated market: Securities that are not traded on a regulated market are valued by the management company using methods based
on market value and yield, while taking into account prices observed for recent significant transactions. Transferable debt securities: Negotiable debt securities and assimilated securities that are not traded in large volumes are valued on the basis of an actuarial method using a reference rate defined below, which is increased, where applicable, by a differential that is representative of the intrinsic characteristics of the issuer: Negotiable debt securities with a maturity of less than or equal to one year: interbank rate in euro (Euribor);
18
Transferable debt securities with a maturity exceeding one year: rates for French treasury bills (BTAN and OAT)
with similar maturity dates for the longer durations. Transferable debt securities with a residual maturity of less than or equal to three months may be valued according
to the straight-line method. French treasury bills are valued on the basis of market prices, as published daily by the Bank of France. UCITS held: Units or shares of UCITS will be valued based on their last known net asset value. Temporary securities transactions: Securities received under repurchase agreements are recorded as assets under the "Receivables related to
securities received under repurchase agreements" heading at the contracted amount, plus any accrued interest
receivable. Securities transferred under a repurchase agreement are recorded as securities purchased at their current value.
Payables related to securities transferred under a repurchase agreement are recorded as securities sold at the
contracted value, plus any accrued interest payable. Lent securities are valued at their current value and are recorded as assets under the "Receivables related to lent
securities" heading at their current value, plus any accrued interest receivable. Borrowed securities are recorded as assets under the "Borrowed securities" heading at the contracted amount and
as a liability under the "Payables on securities borrowed" heading at the contracted amount, plus any accrued
interest payable. Forward financial instruments: Forward financial instruments traded on a regulated or assimilated market: Forward financial instruments traded on regulated markets are valued at the settlement price of that day. Forward financial instruments not traded on a regulated or assimilated market: Swaps: Interest rate and/or currency swaps are valued at their market value by discounting future interest payments at the
prevailing interest rate and/or currency exchange rate on the market. This price is adjusted to take into account risk
related to the issuer. Index swaps are valued by means of an actuarial method based on a reference rate provided by the counterparty. Other swaps are valued at their market value or at a value estimated according to terms and conditions determined
by the management company. Off-balance-sheet commitments: Futures contracts are recorded as off-balance-sheet commitments at their market value on the basis of the price used in the portfolio. Conditional forward options are converted into the underlying equivalent. Swap commitments are recorded at their nominal value or, where there is no nominal value, at an equivalent
amount.
19
Management fees Management fees are calculated on each valuation date on the basis of net assets. These fees are recorded in the income statement of the UCITS. Management fees are paid in full to the management company responsible for all of the operating costs of the UCITS. Management fees do not include transaction costs. The rate applicable to the net assets is 1.40% including taxes for Units A and D, and 0.70% including taxes for Units I and ID. The outperformance fee applied to net assets is 15% of performance beyond a performance equal to 7% net per annum. Variable management fees are payable to the management company in accordance with the following procedure: - The Fund’s performance is compared to a fixed 7% rate expressed on a pro rata temporis basis. - The outperformance fee is calculated by comparing the Fund's performance to the benchmark threshold. - When the Fund outperforms the fixed 7% rate expressed on a pro rata temporis basis, a 15% provision net of tax shall be applied to the outperformance. - The reference periods shall end with the last NAV for the month of June. - Outperformance fees will be subject to a provision each time NAV is calculated. - This outperformance fee is payable annually after calculating the last reference net asset value. No outperformance fees will be charged when the Fund’s performance is lower than the fixed 7% rate expressed
on a pro rata temporis basis during the calculation period. In the event of underperformance, the outperformance fee provision will be reduced by reversing the provision. The
reversal cannot be more than the provision. When units are redeemed, the management company receives the proportion of the outperformance fee
corresponding to the units redeemed. A refund of management fees receivable is taken into consideration each time that net asset value is calculated.
The amount set aside as a provision is equal to the share of refund acquired over the observed period. Allocation of income Net profit/loss for the financial year is equal to the amount of interest, arrears, dividends, premiums and lots, plus
income generated by temporary cash holdings. Management fees and payables related to financial transactions are
deducted from this income. Realised or unrealised gains or losses, as well as subscription and redemption fees, do
not constitute income. Distributable income is equal to net income for the financial year plus retained earnings, plus or minus the balance
of the income equalisation accounts for the last financial year. In accordance with the provisions indicated in the prospectus, net gains/losses are attributed to the different
classes of units or shares in proportion to their share in the total net assets. The portion of distributable income corresponding to D units or shares shall be distributed, while the portion
corresponding to C units or shares shall be accumulated.
