FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends / Annual Report as of December 31, 2014
3
The FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends healthcare fund
invests mainly in mid and small caps in the biotech, pharma
and medtech sectors. Through its consistent focus on these
rapidly growing markets of the future in healthcare, the
Fund’s long-term objective is an investment performance that
outstrips the evolution of the various indices. Product
advances in the pharmaceutical industry and medical
technology are some of the most important drivers of growth
in the health sector. Consequently, the Fund invests
predominantly in young companies whose business model is
based on the development of innovative products. The Fund
concentrates on firms with products close to or newly
launched on the market or firms on the verge of achieving
profitability. In these phases of their development, firms
generally experience an above-average increase in value. On
the other hand, companies with product candidates in
relatively early stages of development play only a small role
in the Fund’s portfolio.
The particular focus of the Fund’s investment strategy is on
biotechnology companies that are developing new therapies
for diseases for which there has hitherto been no or only
inadequate treatment. Another segment of the portfolio is
made up of medical technology companies, which are
supplying many new products for improved diagnoses and
treatments.
Mid and small cap prices in the health sector are subject at
times to considerable volatility, due to their dependency on
clinical results, for example, or to their lower liquidity levels
(relative to daily trading volumes). The Fund’s portfolio
contains between 80 and 90 equity positions; this broad of
investment both minimizes the risks associated with
individual stocks and satisfies the need for flexibility.
The Fund follows a pure stock-picking approach, without
being tied to any benchmark. In this way the Fund gives
long-term investors an opportunity to share in the future
potential of the dynamically growing segments of the health
sector.
The FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trend’s consistent
strategic approach has proved its worth. Since the Fund’s
launch on 30.10.2000, it has performed handsomely, gaining
158.5% (EUR share class). This gives it a lead of 72.7% over
the Nasdaq Biotech-Index, 170.1% over the DRG pharma
index and 153.6% over the S&P 500, which represents the
broader market (all figures in EUR, status as at 30/12/2014).
2014 reviewed –
General conditions and sector-specific events
Measured by the S&P 500 Healthcare index (+24.5%), the
healthcare sector outperformed the broader S&P 500 index
(+12.6%) in 2014 for the fourth year in a row and was again
the second-best sector, just behind Utilities. Bringing up the
rear were Commodities and Telecoms.
In contrast to 2013, the performance of the different
healthcare sub-sectors was more balanced. Nevertheless, the
biotech sector was again the best performer (up 33.8%) due
to strong biotech drug innovation.
Unlike in 2013, however, the biotech sector’s
outperformance in 2014 was driven by increases in sales and
profits and the corresponding increase in future earnings
expectations rather than by increases in valuations. Biotech
was followed by Healthcare Providers (up 29.4%),
Healthcare Equipment (up 25.3%) and Pharmaceuticals (up
20.2%). It is striking that the small caps represented in the
S&P 600 Small-Cap Healthcare Index generally performed
significantly less well (up 11.7%) (all figures in USD,
FactSet, close 30/12/2014).
According to an analysis by Bernstein Research (28/03/2014,
14/01/2015), the current biotech boom has been driven since
the beginning of 2012 by the 6 largest companies (Amgen,
Biogen Idec, Celgene, Gilead, Regeneron and Alexion, also
known collectively as ABCGRA), which have contributed
nearly 80% of the total increase in the sector’s value. These
heavyweights now account for around 75% of the sector’s
total capitalization of more than 700 billion USD. The
sector’s risk has never been so highly concentrated. In 2001,
the 6 biggest biotech companies (Amgen, Genentech,
Genzyme, Immunex, Chiron, Idec) accounted for only 48%
of the total capitalization of around 300 billion USD.
The expansion of the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) from 118
companies last November to its present 154 reflects the
record high number of biotech IPOs. As a result, it is a more
appropriate benchmark for the sector than the S&P 500
Biotech, since it also represents the development stage
companies that are so typical of the sector. Ultimately,
however, the NBI is also dominated by the almost 60%
weighting of the 10 biggest index companies. Accordingly, it
ended the year with a gain of 34.4% (in USD, FactSet, close
30/12/2014), thereby outperforming the S&P 500 for the fifth
year in a row. This stand-out performance is the result of the
new, broadly-based product era with significant advances in
the treatment of serious diseases, coupled with convincing
increases in sales and profits.
Fund report
FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends / Annual Report as of December 31, 2014
4
The biotech sector’s growth potential and the predictability
of its earnings are currently at unequalled levels. The reasons
are primarily twofold. Firstly, since the beginning of 2011
the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) has approved
144 innovative drugs (NMEs). The 41 approvals granted in
2014 – particularly in the fields of oncology and rare disease
– constituted the second-highest figure since 1996. Many of
the new drugs were launched successfully, including
Sovaldi®/Harvoni® from Gilead, Tecfidera® from Biogen
Idec, Vimizim® from BioMarin, Imbruvica® from
Pharmacyclics and Xtandi® from Medivation. Secondly,
biotech value assessments remain within historic ranges: the
average P/E ratio of 23 for 2015 compares with an average
growth rate of almost 18% (UBS, 06/01/2015).
Against this backdrop, the IPO window opened wide in 2014,
with 112 emerging biopharmaceutical companies taking the
plunge with an initial public offering. Taking all financing
measures into account, a record amount of 54.5 billion USD
was raised. In the biotech sector, small caps accounted for
almost 80% of equity financing, a total of 19 billion USD
(Biocentury 05/01/2015).
Growth prospects have improved in the big pharma sector as
well. Most importantly, drug pipelines continue to advance.
Thus Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck & Co. are industry
leaders in the exciting area of immuno-oncology drugs. Now
that the major patent expiries are a thing of the past, this is
allowing more companies to return to steadier long-term
growth. We have seen big pharma companies restructuring,
swapping businesses and pursuing M&As to varying degrees
in order to maximize their growth prospects. With a PER of
17 for 2015, average valuations (without Bristol-Myers
Squibb) are only 6% above the S&P 500 market multiple of
16. By historic standards, this is not expensive in view of a
growth rate of around 9% and a dividend yield of 3%
(Jefferies, 10/11/2014).
After many years of declining or stagnating healthcare
volumes, the sector began to rebound in 2014, driven by
coverage increases related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
and an improving US economy. This drove the
outperformance in the Healthcare Provider and Service
segment.
As beneficiaries of these higher volumes and with their
exposure to new product cycles and strong M&A activity,
large cap medtech stocks were also outperformers and are
now trading at a premium relative to the broader market with
a PER of 20 for 2015 (18 without M&A candidates) and
growth expectations of around 10% (S&P 500 with PER of
16, Leerink, 17/12/2014). This premium marks a departure
from the previous four years, when MedTech was trading at a
discount.
The increase in new approvals is to a large extent a result of
the bio-pharma industry’s success in translating the
molecular genomic information derived from the decoding of
the human genome into a better understanding of the
underlying biological and molecular causes of diseases. The
approval highlights in 2014 were Keytruda® (Merck & Co.)
and Opdivo® (Bristol-Myers Squibb), the first drugs in the
new class of checkpoint receptor PD-1 antibodies for cancer
immunotherapy. A further improvement in hepatitis C
therapy was Gilead’s Harvoni®, a combination pill of
Sovaldi® and the NS5A protein inhibitor ledispavir.
Harvoni® given once daily can cure this disease within eight
weeks. Amgen’s Blincyto® (Blinatumomab) is the first BiTE
molecule based on a product platform developed by Munich
biotech company Micromet and AstraZeneca’s Lynparza® is
the first PARP inhibitor for the personalized treatment of
ovarian carcinomas (BRCA mutation). Abbvie’s Viekira
Pak® is the second all-oral hepatitis C treatment regimen.
Table 1 on the following page gives a selection of the most
promising drugs approved in 2014:
FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends / Annual Report as of December 31, 2014

The sector saw just a few setbacks in 2014. Oncothyreon’s
cancer vaccine Stimuvax® missed its endpoints in a phase III
lung cancer study and Endocyte suspended its phase III trial
with Vintafolide because an interim analysis could not
demonstrate efficacy. Further phase III failures were reported
by Exelixis and Sunesis.
The healthcare sector’s upside potential was further
demonstrated by strong M&A activity. In the biotech sector,
Roche’s 8.3 billion USD takeover
bid for Intermune was the most
prominent performance driver.
However, biotech company Idenix
also received a 3.9 billion USD
bid from Merck & Co. for its
nucleotide polymerase inhibitor
against hepatitis C and the orphan
drugs specialist Prosensa was the
target of a 0.8 billion USD offer
from BioMarin. The highly
fragmented emerging or speciality
pharma sector was characterized
by consolidation: US company
Allergan received an offer of 66
billion USD from Actavis and
Endo took over Auxilium for 2.2
billion USD. The MedTech sector
also saw consolidation in the large
cap segment with the takeover of
Carefusion by Becton Dickinson
and of Covidien by Medtronic.
However, innovation-driven
M&A was also a feature, with
technology leader Nobel
Biocare (dental implants) being
taken over by Danaher and
imaging specialist Volcano
being acquired by Dutch
conglomerate Philips.
Now that the bio-pharma
industry, with its innovative
products with curative or life-
prolonging properties, has
once again been able to gain
the upper hand in price
setting, health insurers are
trying to offset their losses by
focusing on undifferentiated
products with multiple
competitors. Thus large
insurers in the USA are
demanding price discounts
from manufacturers for placing their products on exclusive
drug reimbursement lists. One of the consequences has been
disappointing sales forecasts from Glaxo for its asthma
products and from Sanofi for insulin. More surprising was an
agreement that PBM Express Scripts reached with AbbVie at
the end of the year to offer Viekira Pak® exclusively, despite
product differentiating characteristics, and to exclude
Gilead’s HCV products. The exact level of discounting was
not disclosed. Biosimilars became a discussion point during
the year but not a tangible threat.

The Federal Reserve ended its quantitative easing (QE)
policy in October but left the interest rate near zero with the
expectation of a hike in the second half of 2015. Accordingly
we saw some weakness in the emerging markets. Europe slid
into a recession-like phase against the backdrop of sanctions
against Russia and the ECB announced the possibility of a
QE program of its own. Accordingly the dollar appreciated
relative to the euro by more than 13% in 2014. Once again,
this persistent global economic uncertainty ultimately
favored the large cap segment.
Consequently, an analysis by Biocentury (05/01/2015)
demonstrated above-average growth, with a gain of 32% for
biotech companies with a market capitalization greater than 5
billion USD and 11% for mid cap companies above 1 billion
USD market capitalization. In contrast, companies with a
market capitalization of less than 1 billion USD saw
significant declines of 7% (market capitalization 500 - 999
million USD) and 14% (less than 200 million USD market
capitalization) respectively, as the following compilation
shows:
The profitable biotech large caps benefitted from their
scarcity and their high weightings in the ETFs (IBB) mostly
used by generalists. A further possible reason for small cap
underperformance is that there was a record number of 112
IPOs in 2014 (Biocentury 05/01/2015), making the segment
confusing for analysts and investors.
There was a similar picture in the medical technology sector.
Large caps and mid caps increased in value by 24.7% and
21.6% respectively; small caps, in contrast, stagnated,
gaining only 1.1% (in USD, Morgan Stanley, 05/01/2015)
Performance and portfolio strategy in the reporting year
With its strategic focus on mid and small cap values, the
FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends clearly sets itself
apart from the sector’s standard investment funds. Most of
the other funds align themselves with an index and are, like
the indices, overwhelmingly focused on more highly
capitalized companies in the healthcare, pharma and biotech
industries. For example, the 10 largest positions in the
Nasdaq Biotech-Index account for almost 60% of the index’s
value.
As described in the review, the performance in 2014 was
primarily the result of the fundamental strength of the
biotech sector. Against this backdrop, the FCP OP
MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends fund, with its focus on small
and mid caps in the biotech sector, achieved a very healthy
gain of 33.5% (Unit Class EUR), thereby outperforming the
broader market indices S&P 500 (+28.4%) and MSCI World
(+18.4%). The Fund’s performance against the small cap-
oriented healthcare indices Russell 2000 Healthcare
(+36.1%) and S&P 600 Healthcare (+26.7%) was
comparable. However, a certain degree of risk aversion due
to macroeconomic uncertainties and the strong fundamentals
favoring the biotech large caps meant that the FCP OP
MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends fund underperformed the large
cap-dominated Nasdaq Biotech Index NBI (+54.5%) but
outperformed the large cap index Amex Pharma (+30.6%)
(Table 4).
The curve shapes (Figure 1) of the indices and of the FCP
OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends were generally correlated
with developments in the healthcare sector, macroeconomic
events and political decision-making. However, performance
in 2014 was not significantly affected by the geopolitical
crises in Ukraine or the fighting against Islamic State in the
Middle East.

FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends / Annual Report as of December 31, 2014

The first quarter saw a strong reporting season, with results
above expectations on the basis of successful recent product
launches. Product innovations such as Alprolix® (blood
clotting factor, Biogen Idec) and Otezla® (psoriasis, Celgene)
also received their FDA approval and outstanding
effectiveness data for the LDL cholesterol lowering drugs
from the PCSK9 antibody group were presented at the ACC
congress. In the spring the biotech sector experienced some
weakness. Statements by private payers and lawmakers on
drug pricing triggered doubts about the pharmaceutical
industry’s price setting power. The FCP OP MEDICAL
BioHealth-Trends, with its mid and small cap focus, was not
much affected by this debate and outperformed the NBI at
quarter end.
In the second quarter, important information regarding the
revolutionary drug class of immuno-oncology agents was
disclosed at ASCO, the world-leading clinical oncology
conference. Additional types of tumors had been treated
successfully with PD1/PDL1 inhibitors and combination
therapy produced synergistic effects. Great hopes are being
pinned on a number of products produced by some of the
Fund’s portfolio companies, such as Varlilumab from
Celldex, Incyte’s IDO1 inhibitor and Innate Pharma’s anti-
KIR antibody. Merck & Co.'s takeover of Idenix for 3.9
billion USD (takeover premium of 239% over the previous
day's closing price) also focused increased attention on
biotech prices in the small and mid cap segment, so that the
Fund continued to outstrip the NBI.
At the beginning of the third quarter, with Fed comments
about a biotech bubble still ringing in investors’ ears, the
sector experienced increased volatility, which persisted over
the summer. Small cap biotech companies (market
capitalization <1 billion USD) suffered most, with many of
them recording two-digit falls in stock price. Lack of action
on the pricing front and a healthy second and third quarter
earnings season helped the sector to recover in the second
half of the year. In contrast to the large cap-dominated
Nasdaq Biotech-Index (NBI), which benefitted from the very
positive biotech reporting season, the small and mid cap-
oriented FCP OP Medical BioHealth-Trends was unable to
catch up. The Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) reached a new
all-time high in August, boosted by Roche’s 8.3 billion USD
takeover bid for the biotech company Intermune (included in
the portfolio). Keytruda® – the first PD1/PDL1 antibody –
was particularly striking among the FDA approvals in
September.
In October the markets saw increased volatility, again in
conjunction with the Federal Reserve ending its historic
quantitative easing program. However, the current biotech-
generated innovation cycle proved to be such a powerful
growth generator that biotech large cap companies again
exceeded consensus expectations in the fourth quarter
reporting season and increased their profit forecasts. The
Nasdaq Biotech Index reached a new all-time high of 3,370
points. Many mid caps that had also had successful product
launches, such as portfolio companies BioMarin, Incyte,
Medivation, Seattle Genetics and Dyax, reported similar
levels of growth but did not benefit to the same extent. In
December we saw high volatility due to Express Scripts’
announcement of the exclusion of Gilead’s HCV products
from its drug reimbursement list, but the sector recovered
rapidly, reflecting the lack of alternative growth investments.
The Fund ended the reporting year on a high of 310.16 EUR
(Unit Class EUR).
The FCP OP MEDICAL
BioHealth-Trends fund is
available in a US dollar-hedged
tranche and a tranche that is not
currency-hedged. The currency-
hedged Unit Class EUR H
gained 25.3%* in the reporting
period and ended the year at a
value of 304.44 EUR.
The focus of the FCP OP
MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends
sub-fund’s strategy is on small
and mid caps. Fourteen per cent
of the sub-fund’s volume is

Biocentury’s analysis
shows (Table 3), the
fund performed
particularly well, with a
gain of 33.5% (Unit

indicating it had
benefitted from the
Medical Strategy fund
investment advisor’s
stockpicking approach.
The size of the individual portfolio positions is adjusted to
the risk/reward ratio in order to mitigate the risks associated
with smaller caps by holding more positions in this tier. This
is especially true for companies with products still in
development (phase III and earlier).
The Fund’s performance is based largely on its stock-picking
approach, which in turn is guided by fundamentals. Some
stocks made above-average contributions to the Fund’s
strong performance during their holding period by virtue of
some substantial price increases. Table 6 shows those with
the greatest percentage increases. It is striking that most of
the outperforming companies are at the commercial stage,
having just launched new, innovative products.
During 2014 there were just a few setbacks in the sub-funds
portfolio. Examples include biotech companies such as
ImmunoGen (down 59%), with a disappointing clinical study
for label expansion for its breast cancer drug Kadcyla®, and
Sarepta (down 27%), with a regulatory delay because the
FDA requested further clinical data for its product against
Duchenne muscular dystrophy. MedTech company Staar
Surgical (down 43%) missed sales expectations for its lead
product Visian® and received an FDA warning letter
regarding violations of quality system regulations.
The ongoing consolidation in the industry also contributed to
the fund’s performance. During the reporting period, three
portfolio companies – biotech company Intermune and
emerging pharma firms Forest and Furiex – were taken over
or received offers with premiums of up to 60%.
At year end, the 10 largest positions in the Fund’s portfolio
accounted for 31.2% of its volume, which constitutes a
significantly lower concentration of risk than the Nasdaq
Biotech-Index. In this latter index, the top 10 positions
account for about 60% of volume. The two largest positions
in the Fund were the biotech company BioMarin (4.4%) and
the medtech company Atricure (3.7%) (cf. top 5 in Table 7).
At the end of the reporting period, the portfolio contained 89
companies compared with 81 at the beginning. The portfolio
saw a great deal of activity over the course of the year. This
included in particular targeted investments in phases of
company development associated with above-average
increases in value. Over the course of the year, there were 52
new entrants to the Fund and 44 complete sales. As a result
of this activity, the Fund was invested in a total of 133
companies. The purchases and sales were determined by
news flows or the attainment of target prices or resulted from
takeovers. This fundamental timing made a significant
contribution to the performance of the mid and small cap-
oriented Fund, which exceeded that of the appropriate
comparator groups.

Some further comments on the structure of the fund
portfolio
With regard to the various investment segments in the health
sector, the main areas of fund investments were innovative
drug developers in the biotech (47%) and emerging
pharmaceutical sectors (16%). As a result, 63% of the fund’s
volume is invested in innovative drug developers.
The portfolio is primarily focused on companies that already
have products in the market. Eighty-one per cent of the
Fund’s volume is invested in companies that have launched
at least one product. Forty-five per cent of the Fund’s
volume is invested in profitable companies and 34% in
companies that have products on the market but have not yet
achieved profitability. However, there are several companies
in this last group that are on the verge of profitability. This
underlines our focus on companies that have potential for
strong earnings growth and no need of new financing. Ten
per cent is invested in companies with products in phase III
or in the approval process and 6% in companies with
products in earlier stages of development. In these latter
groups, the companies we have invested in either have
sufficient cash
for at least 24
months or offer
strong partnering
opportunities.
The regional distribution of the Fund’s assets reflects the
importance of the market in question and the number of
listed companies in the healthcare sector. Accordingly, the
majority of the investments (66%) were in North America,
followed by Europe with 31%.
The FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends portfolio still
contains some pre-IPO holdings, which are valued
conservatively. The largest of these positions (1.2%) is in the
Berlin biotech company Noxxon Pharma AG. Noxxon is
developing Spiegelmers (chemically synthesized RNA
aptamers). This is a platform for a new class of active
ingredient, which could constitute an alternative to
monoclonal antibodies. Positive phase II proof-of-concept
data has already been produced for three of Noxxon’s
products. These are Emapticap for the treatment of
inflammatory diabetic kidney diseases, Olaptesed against
hematological tumors and Lexaptepid for the mobilization of
iron metabolism in anemia. Another private company is the
investment company BioM AG (0.1%). BioM AG has a stake
in 10 German biotech companies.
The Fund also has an indirect interest in pre-IPO companies
via the private equity company Safeguard (1.5%) and HBM
Healthcare Investments AG (2.0%). Attractive exit
opportunities are to be expected here.

In addition, the Fund successfully subscribed to seven stock
market launches, including the IPOs of Ultragneyx, Uniqure,
Achaogen and Zafgen. However, most of the share
allocations were disappointingly small.
The Fund also participated in four equity financing projects
(mostly PIPE transactions), namely at Immune
Pharmaceuticals, Bioline Rx, Can-Fite and Pharming. This
enabled it to acquire shares at a discount, together with
warrants in some cases.
The Fund still includes 11 positions with warrants or rights
that have considerable upside potential. In the reporting
period, the buying options for Tekmira, Pharming, Cerus and
Retrophin were exercised, producing profits of over 3 million
USD.
Sauren Fund Research once again awarded the fund advisor 3
gold medals in the Biotechnology Shares category.
At the end of the reporting year, the fund volume was 111.0
million EUR (start: 94.4 million EUR). The sole contributory
factor here was the positive price evolution, since the number
of fund units fell by 11%, from 390,575 to 347,736.
Performance over the longer term
The pharmaceutical industry requires an uninterrupted supply
of innovative drugs, since sales and valuations decline not
only as a result of patent expiries but also through
‘obsolescence’ in a competitive product market in which
innovation is necessary to survive. Against this background,
the long-term investment strategy of the FCP OP MEDICAL
Biohealth-Trends can be readily understood. By investing in
newly established small and mid-cap companies, the Fund is
investing in the urgently needed supply of innovations that
provides the basis for future growth and hence increases in
value. Since the launch of the FCP OP MEDICAL Biohealth-
Trends’ Unit Class EUR on 30.10.2000, it has appreciated in
value by 158.5%* and has significantly outperformed both
the relevant healthcare indices and those representing the
broader market (Figure 2), thereby demonstrating the value
of its strategy.
As a result, the FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends has
achieved an average annual return of 6.9% since it was first
launched. In contrast, Morningstar (31.12.2014) puts the
annual return for the entire biotech fund category at just
3.6%.
Outlook and positioning for 2015
The biotech and pharma sectors have focused their research
and development on severe chronic diseases (high burden of
illness) with unmet medical needs and drugs for smaller
patient populations, e.g. rare genetic diseases (Orphan drugs)
and personalized medicine (genetic profiles). Companies that
offer real medical innovation with a meaningful disease
impact – especially the lifesavers – will be best positioned.
With the high number of 2014 drug approvals, it is expected
the newly marketed therapies can continue to drive sector
performance in 2015. The process of replacing an older
generation of therapeutics with new innovative disease-
modifying treatments is just in its early stages.
More breakthrough preparations are also close to market. We
expect approval to be granted in the second half of 2015 for
Amgen’s Evolocumab and Regeneron’s/Sanofi’s Alirocumab,
the first representatives of the new PCSK9 substance class
for reducing cardiovascular risk among patients with high
cholesterol levels and/or arteriosclerosis. Jefferies puts
potential sales for this product class at 18 billion USD
(25/03/2014). And for the first time in years, a new principle
for the treatment of cardiac insufficiency is being introduced
(LCZ696 from Novartis). Cancer immunotherapy, especially
combination therapies, will remain the hottest area.
Approvals are also expected for rare genetic diseases
(Vertex, Alexio, Synageva) and infections
(Merck & Co.). In addition, we see a lot of
significant phase 2 and 3 results on the
near-term horizon. The SLAMF7 antibody
Elotuzumab (AbbVie/BMY) and the BCL-2
inhibitor ABT-199 (AbbVie/Roche)
promise progress in the treatment of
leukemia. Results for the new class of
CETP inhibitors for the reduction of
cardiovascular events caused by high
cholesterol levels are being presented by
Merck & Co. and Eli Lilly and Eli Lilly
and Biogen could score in the difficult area
of Alzheimer’s research with their anti-
amyloid treatments. Sanofi will present
data on LixiLan, a GLP 1/insulin Figure 2: Outperformance of the FCP OP MEDICAL Biohealth‐Trends s ince launch in EUR on

11
combination for the treatment of diabetes. Expectations are
high for the new group of CDK4/6 inhibitors (Pfizer’s
Palbociclib) for the treatment of solid tumors. The FDA
environment should remain favorable and, in view of the 35
submissions made in 2014 (Morgan Stanley, 06/01/2015),
drug approvals should stay on a high level. This is further
proof of the unique nature of this sector, whose sustained
innovation cycle is bringing an historically unparalleled
flood of new therapeutic breakthroughs to market. For the
USA alone, Bernstein Research expects additional sales of
201 billion USD by 2020 due to the launch of new product
classes (e.g. cancer immunotherapy) (26/09/2014).
Pricing power for innovative biotechnology products will be
stable, despite the debates about Gilead's hepatitis C drugs
Sovaldi®/Harvoni®. However, price pressures will intensify
in product groups in which there are few differentiating
characteristics, such as interferon products for the treatment
of multiple sclerosis or anti-TNF antibodies for the treatment
of rheumatism. Health insurers looking for savings will focus
in future on cheaper biosimilars. According to Express
Scripts, the potential for savings up to 2024 through the use
of biosimilars is 250 billion USD in the US healthcare
system alone (Biotech 2014, Burrill). There are not yet any
biosimilars on the market in the USA, although this situation
is certainly set to change very soon and we expect the first
approvals of biosimilars in 2015. BLAs have been submitted
to the FDA for biosimilars of the anemia drug epoetin alfa
(Epogen®, Amgen), the neutropenia drug filgrastim
(Neupogen®, Amgen) and the long-acting neutropenia drug
pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®, Amgen), as well as for the
rheumatism drug infliximab (Remicade® , Johnson &
Johnson). Furthermore, Eli Lilly’s biosimilar version of
Sanofi’s basal insulin product Lantus had become the object
of patent disputes in the USA. Finally, the first submission
for a biosimilar version of Humira®, the world’s best-selling
drug, is expected at the end of 2015.
Alongside these factors, a lack of growth elsewhere in the
economy is driving increased investment into the
biotechnology sector, and particularly into the innovative
small and mid-cap segment, which is providing a broadly
based supply of innovative drugs.
After a stronger than anticipated 2014 for large cap
pharmaceuticals, the group is now trading at a premium. This
is justified because drug pipelines continue to advance, with
more novel, value-added products beginning to emerge.
Moreover, since the ‘patent cliff year’ of 2012, the number
of significant patent expiries is declining, so that many
companies should return to steadier long-term
growth. However, the appreciation of the dollar may be a
risk factor for the quarterly results of companies with high
shares of sales outside the USA.
The IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics (November
2014) expects global drug spending to reach about USD 1.3
trillion by 2018, up from USD 989 billion in 2013. The
product innovation cycle, population growth and increased
access to healthcare are the factors driving growth in drug
spending. IMS forecasts that emerging markets will account
for about 30% of global spending in 2018, up from 24.5% in
2013.
Heading into 2015, MedTech fundamentals appear healthy
with major orthopedic and cardio markets stable. Regarding
the premium valuation for large caps, we expect more value
creation in companies with new product cycles and exposure
to fast-growth end markets. These include trans-catheter
heart valves, drug-coated balloon catheters for the treatment
of vascular diseases and diabetes management with tubeless
insulin pumps and subcutaneous sensors for continuous
glucose monitoring. With regard to M&A and the megadeals
of 2014, we expect acquirers in 2015 to increasingly refocus
on smaller companies with unique technologies to fill
product gaps.
In the coming months, value drivers for the small/mid caps in
the FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends portfolio should
be mostly fundamentals (approvals, positive clinical data,
increasing revenues, M&A). For example, companies in the
sub-portfolio waiting for approval/regulatory decisions
include Vertex, Actelion, Vectura, BioMarin, Basilea,
Relypsa and Spectrum Pharmaceuticals. In this tier,
Neurocrine Biosciences, Celldex, Innate Pharma, Achaogen,
Achillion and Array Biopharma are mostly driven by clinical
product news flows, whereas SkyePharma, Seattle Genetics,
Incyte, Medivation are driven by reporting sales, as are
medtech companies Cerus and Edwards Lifesciences, to
name just two in that sector.
We expect investors to refocus attention on small and mid-
cap biotech companies in 2015. As a result of the more than
100 IPOs in 2014, the sector has become even stronger and
more diversified, with interesting products in development.
Analyst and investors are still familiarizing themselves with
the new names. To the specialist, this creates an opportunity
to discover inefficiencies or a number of ‘hidden gems’.
Furthermore, both big pharma and biotech companies are
dependent on small and mid caps with interesting products to
fill gaps in their pipelines. In view of the fact that the cost of
capital remains extremely low, we expect M&A activity to be
strong in 2015.
The FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends portfolio is
exposed to a significant number of small/mid cap companies,
in the hope that they will generate outperformance. Overall,
the most important aspects of our investments remain
fundamentals and the prospects of individual companies.

Presentation of the Value at Risk (VaR) figures and
leveraging effect in accordance with the regulations in
force in Luxembourg (CSSF Circular 11/512):
The total risk attached to the investment assets FCP OP
MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends is calculated on the basis of
the relative value at risk approach. The value at risk of the
fund is limited up to 200% of the value at risk of the
benchmark. The presentation relates to the financial year
under review.
The composition of the benchmark:
100 % MSCI World Healthcare
The following potential value at risk amounts arose as at the
relevant calculation dates during the financial year under
review. The figures represent the absolute utilised capacity
of the 200% limit.
Smallest potential value at risk 89,47 %
Largest potential value at risk 117,95 %
Average value at risk 105,23 %
The management company is expecting a leverage effect of
up to 200% of the respective total net assets. This percentage
rate does not constitute an additional investment limit and
may vary from time to time.
The average leveraging effect reached as a result of the use
of derivatives during the financial year under review
amounted to 24,97 %.
The value at risk is calculated on the basis of a variance-
covariance approach which is supplemented with Monte
Carlo simulations for the purposes of recognising
asynchronous, non-linear risks. A 99% confidence level over
a 20-day holding period and an effective historical
observation period of 1 year is used as a statistical parameter
set. Risk is measured by comparison with a derivate-free
benchmark. Market risk constitutes the risk arising out of
unfavourable developments in market prices for the Fund
assets.

The Management Company may assign other companies of
the Oppenheim group with the management of the funds or
with duties of the central administration in accordance with
Luxembourg regulations and under its own responsibility
and its own costs.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with Luxembourg regulations relating to investment funds.
Due to the fact that FCP OP MEDICAL only consisted of
one sub-fund, the FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends,
during the reporting period, the composition of the Total Net
Assets, the Changes in Net Assets and the Statement of
Operations of the FCP OP MEDICAL BioHealth-Trends
corresponds at the same time to the consolidated statements
of FCP OP MEDICAL.
The net asset value of the fund is expressed in EUR, the net
asset value of each unit class is expressed in the currency of
the unit class.
The market value of the securities corresponds to the most
recent market or fair value available. Non-listed securities
are valued at their acquisition costs or fair market value.
The cost of securities is the weighted average cost of all the
purchases of these securities. For securities that are priced in
a currency other than the Fund’s currency, the average cost
is calculated with the exchange rate of the purchase date.
The net realized profit and loss on sales of securities is
determined on the basis of the average cost of securities
sold.
During the fiscal year the fund paid an amount of
EUR 579.656,22 as transaction fees for the sales and
purchases of securities.
Unrealized profits and losses resulting from the valuation of
securities are taken into account in the result.
All liquid assets are valued at their nominal value.
The sub-fund maintains its books and records in EUR.
All assets and liabilities not expressed in EUR are converted

at the foreign forward exchange rate for the remaining
period of the transaction. The unrealized profits and losses
are taken into account in the financial statements.
As with the payment for the custodian bank (up to 0,15%
p.a.), the remuneration of the management company (up to
1,90% p.a.) is computed on the basis of the daily Net Asset
Value calculation. These are calculated and paid at the end
of each month. During the reporting period the management
company received a management fee amounting to
EUR 1.568.951,01 and the custodian bank received a
custodian bank fee amounting to EUR 121.315,18.
A trailer fee may be paid to the distributor for the
distribution of the investment fund and to the asset manager
to be taken out of the management fee.
Institutional unit holders who are holding fund units for third
parties may receive reimbursement out of the management
fee.
The investment advisor receives a performance bonus.
Where it is payable, the performance bonus is equivalent to
15% (for Unit Class EUR and Unit Class EUR H) and 10%
(for Unit Class I, Unit Class I H and Unit Class I X) of the
excess increase in value relative to the net asset value per
unit and half year. The term „excess increase in value“ refers
to the appreciation per half year which exceeds 2,5% –
adjusted by earlier dividends paid and broken financial
years. The performance bonus is calculated on each day of
calculation and deferred accordingly; it is only payable if the
net asset value per unit as at the half year-end – compared
with the high at the end of the previous half year – records a
new high („high water mark“), and only then on the new
excess increase in value that is above the stated high of the
net asset value per unit at the end of a previous half year.
The net asset value per unit is adjusted by dividends paid.

Report on the financial statements
Following our appointment by the Board of Directors of the
Management Company, we have audited the accompanying
financial statements of FCP OP MEDICAL and each of its
sub-funds, which comprise the statement of net assets and
the statement of investments and other net assets as at
December 31, 2014 and the statement of operations and the
statement of changes in net assets for the year then ended,
and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
Board of Directors of the Management Company
responsibility for the financial statements
The Board of Directors of the Management Company is
responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
financial statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal
and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation of the
financial statements, and for such internal control as the
Board of Directors of the Management Company determines
is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Responsibility of the Réviseur d’Entreprises agréé
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing as
adopted for Luxembourg by the Commission de Surveillance
du Secteur Financier. Those standards require that we
comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit
evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the
judgement of the Réviseur d’Entreprises agréé, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In
making those risk assessments, the Réviseur d’Entreprises
agréé considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors of the
Management Company, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair
view of the financial position of FCP OP MEDICAL and
each of its sub-funds as of December 31, 2014, and of the
results of its operations and changes in its net assets for the
year then ended in accordance with Luxembourg legal and
regulatory requirements relating to the preparation of the
financial statements.
Other matter
Supplementary information included in the annual report has
been reviewed in the context of our mandate but has not
been subject to specific audit procedures carried out in
accordance with the standards described above.
Consequently, we express no opinion on such information.
However, we have no observation to make concerning such
information in the context of the financial statements taken
as a whole.
