DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) Key Performance Indicators

Key performance indicators monitored by the Directors for each sub-fund include: the movement in the NAV per share, the share capital movements and the logs of any errors, or breaches in investment restrictions.

Results, Activities and Future Developments

The results of operations are set out on page 27. A review of activities is contained in the Investment Manager’s Reports for each of the four sub-funds.

Structure

The Company is structured as an umbrella fund consisting of different sub-funds each comprising one or more share classes. Shares issued in each sub-fund will rank pari passu with each other in all respects provided that they may differ as to certain matters including currency of denomination, hedging strategies, if any, applied to the currency of a particular class, dividend policy, voting rights, return of capital, the level of fees and expenses to be charged or the minimum subscription and minimum holding, if applicable. The assets of each sub-fund will be invested separately on behalf of each sub-fund in accordance with the investment objective and policies of each sub-fund. A separate portfolio of assets is not maintained for each class.

As at 30 September 2021, the Company has established the sub-funds and classes which are set out in the supplements and the prospectus. Additional sub-funds in respect of which a supplement or supplements will be issued may be established by the Directors with the prior approval of the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”). Additional classes in respect of which a supplement or supplements will be issued may be established by the Directors upon notification to, and clearance in advance by, the Central Bank.

Directors and Company Secretary

The Directors of the Company during the financial year ended 30 September 2021 were John Donohoe, Adrian Waters, Tom Hill, and Andrea Franceshetto. Carne Global Financial Services Limited was the secretary to the Company during the financial year ended 30 September 2021.

In accordance with the Articles of Association, the Directors are not required to retire by rotation.

Dividend Policy

The Directors will have absolute discretion as to the payment of dividends. The distributions for the year amounted to GBP4,954,851 (2020: GBP6,371,637) and GBP Nil was payable as at 30 September 2021 (2020: GBP Nil).

Going concern

The Directors have made an assessment of the Company and its sub-funds’ ability to continue as a going concern and are satisfied that the Company and its sub-funds’ has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore the management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast doubt upon the Company and its sub-funds’ ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Brexit

The United Kingdom formally left the European Union on 31 January 2020. However, the UK remained subject to EU Regulations during an agreed transition period from 31 January 2020 to 31 December 2020.

The United Kingdom left the single market and customs union with an EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement in place. Whilst the implications of leaving the EU are not possible to predict with certainty at this time, market volatility as well as instability in foreign exchange markets are potential impacts of Brexit. Volatility resulting from this uncertainty may mean that the returns of the Funds’ investments maybe adversely affected by market movements. Impact of COVID-19 Impact of COVID-19 is disclosed in the Directors report under the significant events during the year on page 10 and Note 17 Significant events during the year on page 92. Concentration of Investments

A sub-fund may at any one time be invested in a single industry or country and few issuers provided that such concentration complies with the UCITS Regulations. To the extent that a sub-fund’s investments are concentrated in these ways, the overall adverse impact on a sub-fund could be considerably greater than if a sub-fund’s investments were not concentrated to such an extent.

Accounting Records

The Directors believe that they have complied with the requirements of Sections 281 to 285 of the Companies Act 2014 with regard to adequate accounting records by employing the Administrator who has appropriate expertise and adequate resources to provide the Company’s finance function. The Administrator is regulated by the Central Bank. The accounting records of the Company are maintained at 2nd Floor, Block E, Iveagh Court, Harcourt Road, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Risk Management

The role of the Directors is to identify, monitor and manage risk on behalf of the Company. The Company has adopted procedures to ensure that material risks relating to the Company have been identified and managed. The financial risk management objectives and policies of the Company and the exposures of the Company to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk are outlined in Note 9 to these financial statements. Details of the main risks inherent in investing in the Company are disclosed in the Prospectus.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) Dealings with Shareholders

The convening and conduct of shareholders’ meetings are governed by the Articles of Association of the Company and the Irish Companies Act 2014. Although the Directors may convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company at any time, the Directors were required to convene the first annual general meeting of the Company within eighteen months of incorporation and fifteen months of the date of the previous annual general meeting thereafter, provided that an annual general meeting is held once in each year within nine months of the end of each accounting period of the Company. At least twenty-one clear days’ notice of every annual general meeting and any meeting convened for the passing of a special resolution must be given to shareholders and fourteen days’ notice must be given in the case of any other general meeting, unless the auditors of the Company and all the shareholders of the Company entitled to attend and vote agree to shorter notice. Two shareholders present, either in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum at a general meeting.

The Irish Companies Act 2014 and the Articles of Association provide that the quorum for a general meeting convened to consider any alteration to the rights attached to any class of shares, is two or more shareholders present in person or by proxy, holding or representing by proxy at least one third of the issued shares of the relevant class. Every holder of participating shares or non-participating shares present, in person or by proxy, who votes on a show of hands is entitled to one vote. On a poll, every holder of participating shares present, in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote in respect of each share held by him, and every holder of non-participating shares is entitled to one vote in respect of all non-participating shares held by him. At any general meeting, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting is decided on a show of hands unless, before or upon the declaration of the result of the show of hands, a poll is demanded by the chairman of the general meeting, or by at least two members or shareholders present, in person or by proxy, having the right to vote at such meeting, or any holder or holders of participating shares present, in person or by proxy, representing at least one tenth of the shares in issue having the right to vote at such meeting.

Shareholders may resolve to sanction an ordinary resolution or special resolution at a shareholders’ meeting. Alternatively, a resolution in writing signed by all of the shareholders and holders of non-participating shares for the time being entitled to attend and vote on such resolution at a general meeting of the Company, will be valid and effective for all purposes as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held. An ordinary resolution of the Company (or of the shareholders of a particular sub-fund or class of shares) requires a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders voting, in person or by proxy, at the meeting at which the resolution is proposed. A special resolution of the Company (or of the shareholders of a particular sub-fund or class of shares) requires a majority of not less than 75% of shareholders present, in person or by proxy, and voting in general meeting in order to pass a special resolution including a resolution to amend the Articles of Association.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) Board Composition and Activities

In accordance with the Irish Companies Act 2014 and the Articles of Association, unless otherwise determined by an ordinary resolution of the Company in general meeting, the number of Directors may not be less than two. Currently the Board of Directors (“the Board”) is comprised of four Directors, of which John Donohoe and Adrian Walters are deemed independent Directors. John Donohoe, is CEO of Carne Global Financial Services Limited, the parent Company of the Manager. Tom Hill is Managing Director, Group Country Head, UBS Jersey.

The business of the Company is managed by the Directors, who exercise all such powers of the Company as are required by the Companies Act 2014 or by the Articles of Association of the Company other than those exercised by the shareholders in general meetings. The Directors are responsible for the Company’s overall direction and strategy and to this end they reserve the decision-making power on issues such as the determination of medium and long-term goals, review of managerial performance, organisational structure and capital needs and commitments to achieve the Company’s strategic goals. To achieve these responsibilities, the Directors meet on a quarterly basis to review the operations of the Company, address matters of strategic importance and to receive reports from the Administrator, the Depositary, and the Investment Manager. However, a Director may, and the Company Secretary on the requisition of a Director will, at any time summon a meeting of the Directors and ad hoc meetings in addition to the four meetings that are convened as required. Questions arising at any meeting of the Directors are determined by the Chairman. In the case of an equality of votes, the Chairman of the meeting, at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded, shall be entitled to a second or casting vote. The quorum necessary for the transaction of business at a meeting, of the Directors is two.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) Significant Events during the Year

COVID-19 The outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19), declared by the World Health Organisation as a global pandemic on the 11 March 2020, continues to impact many aspects of daily life and the global economy. Travel, movement, and operational restrictions have been implemented by many countries. In some cases, lockdowns have been applied – in varying degrees – to reflect further waves of COVID-19. While these may imply a new stage of the crisis, they are not unprecedented in the same way as the initial impact. The pandemic and the measures taken to tackle COVID-19, including the development and roll out of vaccines globally, continue to affect economies and public equity markets globally. The success of vaccine programs is expected to have a major impact on the speed and nature of economic recovery but the timing and form of the recovery remains uncertain, particularly with the emergence of new strains of COVID-19. The Directors are continuing to utilise business continuity and resilience processes with the objective of mitigating the impact of COVID-19.

The Investment Manager has continued to provide full liquidity and active management throughout this period. The Funds are a going concern, financially stable and able to meet obligations to shareholders. We foresee no reason for this to change as the situation continues to evolve.

On 9 March 2021 an addendum to the prospectus of the Fund was filed in accordance with the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation requirements.

Significant Events after the Year End

Omicron, a new "variant of concern," injected volatility back into risk assets in December. But despite this, equities have continued to advance. While mindful of risks around COVID-19 variants and inflation, we keep a positive outlook on equities for the start of 2022. Global economic growth is likely to remain above trend for the first half of 2022, monetary policy is still accommodative, even if emergency support measures are being scaled back, and we expect 10% growth in global corporate earnings in the year ahead. Other risk factors appear to be subsiding too, with energy prices coming off, supply chain issues showing some signs of easing, the Fed taking a data-based approach to its inflation policy, and China on track to offer some incremental easing. We continue to favour winners from global growth, including energy, financials, and Eurozone and Japanese equities.

On 13 December 2021, an addendum to the prospectus of the Fund was filed and noted by the Central Bank in respect of the Taxonomy disclosure requirements under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation.

There were no other significant post balance sheet events that require adjustment to or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

Political Donations

The Company made no political donations during the year under review.

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORT

Resolution (Irl) Global Equity Fund 1 October 2020 – 30 September 2021 MARKET COMMENTARY Since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, market narrative has been dominated by the transition to a 'new normal', driven by the forces of technological disruption, deficit spending and further Central Bank action. With these drivers still very much in force, equity markets continued to trend higher during the fourth quarter of 2020. Performance in equities continued to be led by the US, as large-cap technology and growth stocks helped the S&P 500 reach all-time highs. However, the UK market also performed strongly as a cyclical rotation took place as the market began to price in the prospects of economies reopening. The first quarter of 2021 was dominated by rising bond yields and a value-led equity market rally. The two key drivers of this performance were the Democrat victory in Georgia at the start of the year, paving the way for massive further US fiscal stimulus, and the success of the vaccine rollout in the US and UK. The 10-year US Treasury yield reached 1.75% and the rise in bond yields was closely correlated with significant outperformance for financials and value stocks. The second quarter was again strong for equities as the vaccine roll-out across the globe continued and economic data pointed to a healthy rebound in global growth. The S&P 500 reached a new all-time high in late June with almost all sectors making gains over the quarter. While the Eurozone was supported by a strong corporate earnings season and an acceleration in the pace of vaccine roll-out in the region, and the UK performed well driven by value style and economically sensitive sectors during April and May, continuing a trend that started in November. The Federal Reserve’s rate-setting meeting brought no change to policy, but its projections indicated that interest rate rises could come in 2023. This seemed to wrong-foot some market participants, though subsequent comments by Fed officials sought to allay any worries over tightening monetary policy too quickly. Overall, the economic picture remained rosy with Q1 Gross Domestic Product growing in the US at 6.4% (quarter-on-quarter, annualised), which was modestly lower than the consensus of 6.7%. Inflation data, unsurprisingly, received a lot of attention. In May, core consumer price index (CPI) inflation rose in the US from 3% to 3.8% year-on-year - the largest increase since June 1992, with the “reopening theme” a big driver, and rising to 2.5% in the UK. In late June President Joe Biden also secured a deal on an infrastructure package worth about $1 trillion to upgrade roads, bridges, and broadband networks over the next eight years. US Treasury yields declined over the quarter, with the 10-year falling from 1.74% to 1.47%, retracing some of the large move higher in Q1. The broad backdrop was a continued pronounced rebound in economic activity with annualised inflation rates rising well above target to levels not seen in over a decade. This is at least in part reflective of very low year ago comparisons, and investors began to speculate as to whether current levels would continue or prove transitory. Equity markets were broadly flat over Q3 as declines in September erased prior gains driven by concerns over inflation and the outlook for interest rates which dampened investor confidence during the quarter. Global sovereign bond yields were also little changed in the quarter with the UST 10y yield closing at 1.49%. Yields fell initially, as the rapid economic recovery appeared to be moderating however, as the market’s focus turned to rising inflation and the prospect of the withdrawal of monetary policy support, yields rose back to similar levels seen at the beginning of the quarter. The Federal Reserve became increasingly hawkish, suggesting that asset purchase tapering could start as early as November and that it could be wound up by mid-2022, earlier than expected. US equities notched up a small positive return in Q3 as strong earnings lifted US stocks in the run up to August when the Federal Reserve seemed to strike a dovish tone, confirming its hesitance to tighten policy too fast. However, growth and inflation concerns late in the quarter meant global equities retraced their steps in September. On a sector basis, financials and utilities outperformed whilst at the other end of the spectrum, industrials and materials struggled, although September’s sell-off hit almost all sectors. Energy was an exception, rising as supply constraints drove prices to highs – particularly Brent crude.

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORT

Resolution (Irl) Global Equity Fund 1 October 2020 – 30 September 2021 MARKET COMMENTARY (Continued) The third quarter had started with gains amid a positive Q2 earnings season and ongoing economic recovery from the pandemic. The Delta variant of COVID-19 continued to spread but most large Eurozone countries have now fully vaccinated around 75% of their population against the virus, enabling many restrictions on travel and other activities to be lifted. However, as the period progressed, worries emerged over inflation due to supply chain bottlenecks and rising energy prices. FUND PERFORMANCE The total return of the Resolution (Irl) Global Equity fund (GBP C Acc shares) over the period was 23.0%. The period was extremely positive for equity investors as all markets finished significantly higher over the 12 months. Most major equity indices were up over 25%, in local currency terms, while emerging markets lagged slightly, up around 18%. Sterling strengthened over the period meaning overseas equity returns were reduced somewhat on an unhedged basis for GBP investors. The contribution from tactical asset allocation was slightly negative over the period. Underweight positions at various times to the rising UK & US markets were offset by a positive contribution from overweight positions to global energy, Japan and Canada. Security selection was a strong positive over the period. Despite the US funds underperforming somewhat due to their dominant growth style, this was more than offset by most other regions. In particular, there was strong outperformance from the UK (JOHCM UK equity Income & Threadneedle) and Europe (Blackrock European Dynamic and GAM Continental European). MAJOR SALES/PURCHASES In October 2020 we made some changes to the US and European funds. In the US we sold Old Mutual and reduced the position in the UBS S&P 500 tracker to fund purchases of Artemis US Select and Brown Advisory US. In Europe JO Hambro continental European was replaced by GAM continental European. In December 2020 we made some reductions to the GB domiciled funds in the portfolio which, following Brexit, would no longer be categorised as UCITs. These were replaced with offshore versions of the same funds. This was followed in March 2021 by initiating an overweight to the Global Energy sector which was funded from the US equity allocation taking the US to a tactical underweight. Finally, in May 2021, we went further underweight the US equity market and initiated an additional underweight to the Australian market. These reductions were used to fund new overweight positions to Japan and Canada respectively.

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORT

Resolution (Irl) Global Fixed Income Fund 1 October 2020 – 30 September 2021 MARKET COMMENTARY Since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, market narrative has been dominated by the transition to a 'new normal', driven by the forces of technological disruption, deficit spending and further Central Bank action. With these drivers still very much in force, equity markets continued to trend higher during the fourth quarter of 2020. Performance in equities continued to be led by the US, as large-cap technology and growth stocks helped the S&P 500 reach all-time highs. However, the UK market also performed strongly as a cyclical rotation took place as the market began to price in the prospects of economies reopening. The first quarter of 2021 was dominated by rising bond yields and a value-led equity market rally. The two key drivers of this performance were the Democrat victory in Georgia at the start of the year, paving the way for massive further US fiscal stimulus, and the success of the vaccine rollout in the US and UK. The 10-year US Treasury yield reached 1.75% and the rise in bond yields was been closely correlated with significant outperformance for financials and value stocks. The second quarter was again strong for equities as the vaccine roll-out across the globe continued and economic data pointed to a healthy rebound in global growth. The S&P 500 reached a new all-time high in late June with almost all sectors making gains over the quarter. While the Eurozone was supported by a strong corporate earnings season and an acceleration in the pace of vaccine roll-out in the region, and the UK performed well driven by value style and economically sensitive sectors during April and May, continuing a trend that started in November. The Federal Reserve’s rate-setting meeting brought no change to policy, but its projections indicated that interest rate rises could come in 2023. This seemed to wrong-foot some market participants, though subsequent comments by Fed officials sought to allay any worries over tightening monetary policy too quickly. Overall, the economic picture remained rosy with Q1 Gross Domestic Product growing in the US at 6.4% (quarter-on-quarter, annualised), which was modestly lower than the consensus of 6.7%. Inflation data, unsurprisingly, received a lot of attention. In May, core consumer price index (CPI) inflation rose in the US from 3% to 3.8% year-on-year - the largest increase since June 1992, with the “reopening theme” a big driver, and rising to 2.5% in the UK. In late June President Joe Biden also secured a deal on an infrastructure package worth about $1 trillion to upgrade roads, bridges and broadband networks over the next eight years. US Treasury yields declined over the quarter, with the 10-year falling from 1.74% to 1.47%, retracing some of the large move higher in Q1. The broad backdrop was a continued pronounced rebound in economic activity with annualised inflation rates rising well above target to levels not seen in over a decade. This is at least in part reflective of very low year ago comparisons, and investors began to speculate as to whether current levels would continue or prove transitory. Equity markets were broadly flat over Q3 as declines in September erased prior gains driven by concerns over inflation and the outlook for interest rates which dampened investor confidence during the quarter. Global sovereign bond yields were also little changed in the quarter with the UST 10y yield closing at 1.49%. Yields fell initially, as the rapid economic recovery appeared to be moderating however, as the market’s focus turned to rising inflation and the prospect of the withdrawal of monetary policy support, yields rose back to similar levels seen at the beginning of the quarter. The Federal Reserve became increasingly hawkish, suggesting that asset purchase tapering could start as early as November and that it could be wound up by mid-2022, earlier than expected.

FUND PERFORMANCE The total return of the Resolution (Irl) Global Fixed Income fund (USD C Acc shares) over the period was +0.3%.

Performance was muted largely as a result of the rising yields, making it a challenging environment for fixed income investors. The contribution from tactical asset allocation over the period was positive overall, particularly due to the tactical overweight at various stages through the period to high yield and emerging market bonds. Security selection was more mixed with the negative contribution from USD corporate bonds being offset by a positive contribution from emerging market bonds. MAJOR SALES/PURCHASES There were 3 tactical adjustments over the period. In February 2021 we reduced the tactical overweight to emerging market bonds, re-investing the proceeds into cash and initiating an overweight position in high yield bonds. In March we further increased the tactical overweight to high yield bonds funded by reducing investment grade corporate bonds. Finally in August we removed the overweight to high yield bonds and re-invested the proceeds into high grade bonds.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE RESOLUTION FUND INTERNATIONAL (IRELAND) PLC (continued)

Respective responsibilities and restrictions on use

Responsibilities of directors for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities set out on page 12, the directors are responsible for: the preparation of the financial statements including being satisfied that they give a true and fair view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (Ireland) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on IAASA’s website at

The Company is structured as an umbrella fund consisting of different sub-funds, each comprising of one or more share classes.

As at 30 September 2021, the Company had no employees. The investment activities of the Company are managed by UBS AG, London Branch (the “Investment Manager”). The registered office of the Company is situated at 2nd Floor, Block E, Iveagh Court, Harcourt Road, Dublin 2, Ireland.

2. Significant accounting policies

(a) Statement of compliance

The Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and Irish statute comprising the UCITS Regulations, Central Bank UCITS Regulations and Companies Act 2014. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 24 January 2022. Changes to significant accounting policies are described in Note 2.

(b) Basis of preparation

The Company’s financial statements are presented in GBP, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (its functional currency).

Going concern The Directors have made an assessment of the Company and each sub-fund’s ability to continue as a going concern and are satisfied that the Company and the sub-funds have the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast doubt upon the Company and any sub-fund’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.

Impact of COVID-19 Impact of COVID-19 is disclosed in the Directors report under the significant events during the year on page 10 and Note 17 Significant events during the year on page 92.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) Basis of preparation (continued)

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS as adopted by the EU requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The estimates and associated judgments are based on historical experience and on various other factors which the Directors consider to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis of judgments made on the carrying values of assets and liabilities for which values are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Management makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will seldom equal the actual results. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively. Changes in data inputs and assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments and such differences could be material. The critical accounting estimates and judgments made, for the purposes of these financial statements, relate to the valuation of investments.

(c) Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the reporting currency at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. For practical reasons, a rate that approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction is often used, for example, an average rate might be used for all transactions in each foreign currency occurring during that period. However, if exchange rates fluctuate significantly, the use of the average rate for a period will be inappropriate. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Foreign currency exchange differences arising on translation and realised gains and losses on disposals or settlements of monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to GBP at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.

The financial statements of each sub-fund are presented in the currency that it is primarily exposed to with the Company financial statements being presented in GBP (“Pound Sterling”). The difference arising from translation of the primary statements at different exchange rates, for the purpose of producing the financial statements of the Company, is included as a foreign currency translation adjustment in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares.

Foreign currency exchange differences relating to financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss and derivative financial instruments are included in the gain/(loss) on financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised together with other changes in the fair value of these instruments. Included in the net gain/(loss) on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss 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. The Company operates a number of sub-funds, each with its own separately determined functional currency as stated below.

(d) New standards, amendments and interpretations

There are no standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are effective that would be expected to have a significant impact on the Company and its sub-funds.

(e) Financial instruments

(i) Classification

The Company classifies financial assets as measured at amortised cost or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI).

All other financial assets and liabilities of the Company are measured at FVTPL including transferable securities, derivative financial assets and derivative liabilities.

Business model assessment In making an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held the Company considers all of the relevant information about how the business is managed, including:

The documented investment strategy and the execution of this strategy in practice. This includes whether the investment strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realising cash flows through the sale of the assets;

How the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Company’s management; The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that

business model) and how those risks are managed; How the Investment Manager is compensated: e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value

of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and The frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such

sales and expectations about future sales activity.

The Company has determined that it has two business models.

Held-to-collect business model: this includes interest, dividend receivables, due from brokers, deposits with credit institutions and receivables. These financial assets are held to collect contractual cash flow.

Other business model: this includes transferable securities, collective investment scheme and derivatives. These financial assets are managed and their performance is evaluated, on a fair value basis, with frequent sales taking place.

(e) Financial instruments (continued)

(i) Classification (continued)

Assessment whether contractual cash flows are SPPI For the purpose of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition.

‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are SPPI, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:

Contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows; Leverage features; Prepayment and extension features; Terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features;

and Features that modify consideration of the time value of money (e.g. periodical reset of interest rates). In assessing whether the contractual flows are SPPI, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition.

(ii) Recognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised on the trade date, which is the date the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Other financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the date they were originated.

(iii) 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 transaction costs on other financial instruments are amortised. Subsequent to initial recognition, all instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with fair value changes recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Financial assets classified at amortised cost are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(iii) Measurement (continued)

These include receivables for securities sold which are held for collection, securities purchased not yet delivered to the Company, and other receivables. These are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate, less provision for impairment. At each reporting date, the Company shall measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk has increased significantly since recognition. If at the reporting date, the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company shall measure loss allowance at the amount equal to 12 months expected credit losses, or shorter if the receivable is expected to settle in less than 12 months.

Financial liabilities, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are measured at amortised cost. Financial liabilities arising from the Redeemable Participating Shares issued by the Company are carried at the redemption amount representing the shareholders right to a residual interest in the Company’s assets.

iv) Fair value measurement principles

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk. When available, the Company measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as ‘active’ if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

The Company measures instruments quoted in an active market at mid-price, because the price provides a reasonable approximation of the exit price. If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Company uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.

The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period during which the changes have occurred.

(v) Derecognition

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, are surrendered, or it transfers the financial asset. The Company uses the “first in first out” method to determine the realised gains and losses on derecognition. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the instrument is measured at initial recognition adjusted for initial direct costs, minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation, using the effective interest rate method of any difference between the initial amount recognised and the maturity amount minus the reduction for impairment.

(vi) Impairment

The Company recognises loss allowances for ECLs on financial assets measured at amortised cost.

The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured at 12-month ECLs:

(e) Financial instruments (continued)

(vi) Impairment (continued)

financial assets that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and other financial assets for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of

the asset) has not increased significantly since initial recognition

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.

(vii) Specific instruments

Forward contracts Forward contracts are commitments either to purchase or to sell a designated financial instrument or currency at a specified future date for a specified price and may be settled in cash or with another financial asset. Forwards are individually traded over-the-counter contracts. Forward contracts result in credit exposure to the counterparty. Forward contracts result in exposure to market risk based on changes in market prices relative to contracted amounts. Market risk arises due to the possible movements in foreign currency exchange rates and securities values underlying these instruments. In addition, due to the low margin deposits normally required in relation to nominal contract sizes, a high degree of leverage may be typical of a forward trading account. As a result, a relatively small price movement in an underlying of a forward contract may result in substantial losses to the sub-funds. Forward contracts are subject to liquidity risk. Nominal amounts are the underlying reference amounts to foreign currencies upon which the fair value of the forward contracts traded by the Company are based. While nominal amounts do not represent the current fair value and are not necessarily indicative of the future cash flows of the forward contracts, the underlying price changes in relation to the variables specified by the nominal amounts affect the fair value of these derivative financial instruments. Collective Investment Schemes (Mutual Funds) Collective investment schemes (Mutual Funds) are open-ended funds. These contain an obligation to redeem a participant's shares at their request, at a price corresponding to the net asset value of those investments (less fees and commissions) at a particular point of time. Collective investment schemes pool money from many individuals to invest in stocks, bonds, money market securities, real estate or some combination of these. In case of exchange traded funds ("ETFs") only authorised participants can subscribe and redeem. Bonds Bonds are debt investments in which an investor loans money to an entity (corporate or governmental) that borrows the funds for a defined period of time at a fixed interest rate. Bonds are used by companies, municipalities, states and U.S. and foreign governments to finance a variety of projects and activities.

(f) Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the Statement of Financial Position when and only when, the Company has legal right to offset the amounts and it intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted under IFRS as adopted by the EU, e.g. for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions, such as gains and losses from financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

(g) Interest income

Interest income and expense, including interest income from non-derivative financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments and receipts over the expected life of the financial asset or liability (or, where appropriate, a shorter year) to the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial asset, excluding future credit losses. The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all fees and points paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset or liability. Interest received or receivable and interest paid or payable is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as interest income or interest expense respectively.

(h) Gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss includes all realised gains/(losses) on investment securities and derivative instruments, unrealised gains/losses from fair value changes and foreign exchange differences recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Realised gains and losses are based on the FIFO method.

(i) Transaction costs Transaction costs are incremental costs, which are separately identifiable and directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or a financial liability. The Company's portfolio transactions include the purchase and sale of the equity investments and interests in collective investment schemes. There are no separately identifiable transaction costs associated with these transactions. Consequently, there are no transaction costs to be disclosed in these accounts.

(j) Expenses All expenses, including management fees, administration fees, depositary fees, general expenses and operating expenses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis. Included in other expenses are legal fees, authorities fees (levy fees from the Central Bank of Ireland) and other general and operating fee expenses.

(k) Taxation

The Company is an investment undertaking as defined in section 739B of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997. Therefore the Company is not liable to tax in respect of its income and gains, other than on the occurrence of a chargeable event. Generally a chargeable event arises on redemption, repurchase, cancellation, transfer of shares or on the ending of a ‘Relevant Period’. A ‘Relevant Period’ is an eight year period beginning with the acquisition of the shares by the Shareholder and each subsequent period of eight years beginning immediately after the preceding Relevant Period. A gain on a chargeable event does not arise in respect of:

• An exchange by a shareholder, effected by way of an arm’s length bargain where no payment is made to the shareholder, of shares in the Company for other shares in the Company;

• Any transactions (which might otherwise be considered a chargeable event) in relation to shares held in a recognised clearing system as designated by order of the Irish Revenue Commissioners;

• A transfer by a shareholder of the entitlement to shares where the transfer is between spouses and former spouses, subject to certain conditions; or

• An exchange of shares arising on a qualifying amalgamation or reconstruction (within the meaning of Section 739H of the Taxes Act) of the Company with another investment undertaking.

In the absence of an appropriate declaration, the Company will be liable to Irish tax on the occurrence of a chargeable event. Capital gains, dividends and interest received may be subject to withholding taxes imposed by the country of origin and such taxes may not be recoverable by the Company or its shareholders.

(l) Net asset value per share

Net Asset Value per share as at the relevant period end is calculated by dividing the net asset value of the relevant sub-fund allocated to a particular share class by the number of participating shares of the relevant share class of that sub-fund in issue as at the period end.

(m) Balance due from/(to) brokers In accordance with the Company policy of trade date accounting for regular way sale and purchase transactions, sales/purchases awaiting settlement represent amounts receivable/payable for securities sold/purchased but not yet settled as at the Statement of Financial Position date.

(n) Foreign exchange gains and losses Foreign exchange gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised together with other changes in the fair value of these instruments in Statement of Comprehensive income. Included in the gain/(loss) on financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss 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.

(o) Dividend policy

Dividend income and dividend expense are recorded on the ex-dividend date (i.e. the date on which the right to receive/pay a dividend is established). Dividend income is recognised on a gross basis, before withholding tax.

Dividend income and dividend expense are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(o) Dividend policy (continued) Shares of a sub-fund may be issued as accumulating shares or distributing shares. The dividend policy and information on the declaration and payment of dividends for each sub-fund will be specified in the relevant supplement. The Articles of Association of the Company empower the Directors to declare dividends in respect of any shares in the Company out of the net income of the relevant sub-fund (whether in the form of dividends, interest or otherwise) and net realised and unrealised gains (i.e. realised and unrealised gains net of all realised and unrealised losses) subject to certain adjustments.

(p) Participating shares All participating shares issued by the Company provide the investors with the right to require redemption for cash at the value proportionate to the investor’s share in the Company’s net assets at the redemption date. In accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments Presentation such instruments give rise to a financial liability for the present value of the redemption amount. Applications for shares may be made through the Administrator on behalf of the Company. Applications received and accepted by the Administrator prior to the subscription deadline for the relevant subscription day will be processed on that subscription day. Shareholders may redeem their shares on and with effect from any redemption day at the net asset value per share calculated on or with respect to the relevant redemption day as described in the Prospectus. Subject to certain exceptions in relation to certain switches of shares from one class to another class in the same sub-fund, switching will generally amount to a disposal of the original shares for tax purposes and accordingly, a chargeable gain or an allowable loss may be realised.

(q) Deposits with credit institutions

Deposits with credit institutions consist of cash and cash equivalents and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash comprises current deposits with the Depositary and is valued at its face value with interest accrued daily.

3. Fair value estimation The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

● Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible at the measurement date;

● Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

● Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement of an instrument is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement of that instrument in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

3. Fair value estimation (continued)

The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgement by the Company. The Company considers observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. Investments, whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and therefore classified within level 1, include collective investment schemes. Quoted market prices are primarily sourced from market leading financial data vendors. 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 and are classified within level 2. These include corporate bonds and foreign currency forward contracts. As level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information. The following table provides an analysis of the fair value measurement used by the Company to fair value its financial instruments in its Statement of Financial Position categorised by the fair value hierarchy as described below. 30 September 2021 Resolution (Irl) Global Equity Fund Assets Liabilities Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 GBP GBP GBP GBP GBP GBP Mandatory at FVTPL Collective investment schemes 83,561,433 173,178,405 - - - - Total 83,561,433 173,178,405 - - - -

7. Share capital

The authorised share capital of the Company is 500,000,000,000 participating shares of no par value and 300,000 redeemable non-participating shares of no par value each. The minimum issued share capital of the Company is 2 redeemable non-participating shares of no par value each. Non-participating shares do not entitle the holders to any dividends and on a winding up entitle the holders to receive the amount paid up thereon but do not otherwise entitle them to participate in the net assets of the Company and are disclosed by way of this note only.

7. Share capital (continued)

The Directors reserve the right to impose “an anti-dilution levy” representing a provision for market spreads (the difference between the prices at which assets are valued and/or bought or sold) and other dealing costs relating to the acquisition or disposal of assets and top reserve the value of the underlying assets of the sub-fund. The shares in each class of the sub-fund are regarded as either an accumulating share class or a distributing share Class as specified in the relevant class supplement. The income and earnings and gains of the sub-fund, attributable to the accumulating share classes will be accumulated and reinvested on behalf of the relevant shareholders. For distributing share classes shall rank for dividends as and from the beginning of the accounting period in which they were issued. If declared, dividends will be paid to holders of the relevant share class. The Shares in each Class of a Sub-Fund are regarded as either an Accumulating Share Class or a Distributing Share Class. Accumulating Share Class is a class of shares in a sub-fund which generally does not pay a dividend, the income and earnings and gains of a sub-fund attributable to the accumulating share classes will be accumulated and reinvested on behalf of the relevant shareholders. Distributing Share Class is a class of shares in a sub-fund which generally pays a dividend, the amount available for distribution in respect of the distributing share classes may be paid out of the net income of a sub-fund attributable to the respective shareholders. The amount available for distribution in respect of the Distributing Share Classes may be paid out of the net income of a Sub-Fund attributable to the respective Distributing Share Class. In order to help the Directors manage distributions so as to minimise any excess of reportable income for UK tax purposes (if any) over actual distributions, distributions may also be paid out of (i) net realised gains of a Sub-Fund attributable to the respective Distributing Share Class (i.e. realised gains net of realised and unrealised losses); and/or (ii) net realised and unrealised gains of a Sub-Fund attributable to the respective Distributing Share Class (i.e. realised and unrealised gains net of all realised and unrealised losses); and/or (iii) capital arising from that proportion of the Net Asset Value of a Sub-Fund attributable to the respective Distributing Share Class, subject to certain adjustments.

Capital management The Company is required to maintain a minimum capital requirement of €300,000, or its foreign currency equivalent. If redemptions or decreases in the value of the Company’s investment portfolio cause the value of the share capital to fall below the equivalent of €300,000, the Board of Directors will request that the Investment Manager, as promoter of the Company, to produce additional capital subscriptions in order to increase the capital to its required level. Alternatively, the Board of Directors will make a decision to seek the termination of the Company, the return of assets to shareholders and the revocation of the Company’s authorisation. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other shareholders and to maintain a strong capital base to support the development of the investment activities of the Company. The Company has met this objective. The Manager monitors the capital structure of the Company on an ongoing basis. The Administrator will notify the Board of Directors if during any particular month, the net asset value of the Company falls below this level. As soon as the Board of Directors becomes aware that the capital of the Company is below the required level, the Board will inform the Depositary and the Central Bank of Ireland.

9. Financial instruments and associated risks

The Company maintains positions in a variety of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments as dictated by its investment management strategy. The Company’s investment activities expose it to various types of risk which are associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The following information is not intended to be a comprehensive summary of all risks and investors should refer to the Prospectus and Supplements for a more detailed discussion of the risks inherent in investing in the Company. The Company employs financial derivative techniques and instruments for the purposes of investment and/or efficient portfolio management subject to the limits laid down by the Central Bank of Ireland and subject to the terms of Supplement 1 to the Prospectus issued for The Resolution Fund International (Ireland) Plc – Resolution (Irl) Global Equity Fund, Supplement 2 to the Prospectus issued for The Resolution Fund International (Ireland) Plc – Resolution (Irl) Global Fixed Income Fund, Supplement 3 to the Prospectus issued for the Resolution Fund International (Ireland) Plc – Resolution (Irl) UK Fixed Income Fund and Supplement 4 to the Prospectus issued for the Resolution Fund International (Ireland) Plc – Resolution (Irl) World Equity Fund. These financial derivative techniques and instruments are designed to hedge against the foreign exchange risk and may include, but are not limited to forward currency contracts. The Investment Manager uses a risk management process to measure, monitor and manage risks attached to the financial derivative positions and details of this process have been provided to the Central Bank. The Investment Manager does not utilise financial derivatives which have not been included in the risk management process until such time as a revised risk management process has been submitted to and cleared by the Central Bank. Global exposure is calculated using the commitment approach. As required by the Central Bank the Board of Directors issues a risk management statement (Financial Derivative Instrument Report) to the Central Bank on an annual basis. Asset allocation is determined by the Company’s Investment Manager who manages the distribution of the assets to achieve the investment objectives. Divergence from target asset allocations and from the composition of the portfolio is monitored by the Company’s Investment Manager. The nature and extent of the financial instruments outstanding at the reporting date and the risk management policies employed by the Company are discussed below: (a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk will affect the value or income of positions held by the Company. The Company is also exposed to market risk on investments in that the Company may not be able to readily dispose of its holdings when it chooses and also that the price obtained on disposal is below that at which the investment is included in the Company’s financial statements. All trading financial instruments are recognised at fair value and all changes in market conditions directly affect net income. The Investment Manager may use financial derivative instruments which may give rise to leverage within the portfolio, subject to the limits set out in The Resolution Fund International (Ireland) Plc prospectus, to increase the potential overall return on capital. Leverage may be created through the use of financial derivative instruments, subject to UCITS Regulations. The leverage created through the use of financial derivative instruments will be measured using the commitment or the sum of notional approach. The commitment approach calculates leverage by measuring the market value of the underlying exposures of financial derivative instruments. An overall risk monitoring structure is in place which sets risk and leverage limits for the Company and prescribes action to be taken upon these limits being breached. There has been no change in the approach to managing market risk.

9. Financial instruments and associated risks (continued)

(a) Market risk (continued)

Currency risk The Company may invest in financial instruments and enter into transactions denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. Each sub-fund is also exposed to currency risk due to non-base currency investments compared to the base currency of each sub-fund (Global Equity and UK Fixed Income Funds are denominated in GBP and Global Fixed Income and World Equity funds are denominated in USD). Consequently, the Company is exposed to risks that the exchange rate of its currency relative to other foreign currencies may change in a manner that has an adverse effect on the value of that portion of the Company’s assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than GBP.

The Company’s currency rate risk is managed on a daily basis by the Investment Manager. The Company may employ strategies (i.e. foreign currency forward contracts) aimed at hedging against currency risk at the share class level. When the Company enters into such currency transactions as part of the relevant sub-fund's investment policy, the hedging transactions at the class level will be considered distinct from the tactical currency transactions of the relevant sub-fund. The Investment Manager may utilise hedging strategies in order to hedge the exposure of classes that are denominated in currencies other than the base currency of the relevant sub-fund. The hedging will typically be undertaken by means of forward contracts. The Company’s overall currency positions and exposures are monitored on a periodic basis by the Directors. The following tables set out the Company’s total exposure to foreign currency risk and the exposure to foreign currencies of the monetary liabilities: Resolution (Irl) Global Equity Fund 30 September 2021 Monetary Assets

Price risk Price risk is the risk that the value of the instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer or all factors affecting all instruments traded in the market. Price risk is mitigated by the Company’s Investment Manager by constructing a diversified portfolio of instruments traded on various markets. The following table details the breakdown of the investment assets and liabilities held as a percentage of the net assets of the sub-funds.

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company holds cash, cash equivalents and bonds (exposure directly and indirectly through investments in collective investment schemes) that are interest earning and as a result the Company is subject to risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates in relation to these financial instruments. The counterparties to the Company’s derivatives, cash deposits and fixed income investments are carefully selected financial institutions. The Company’s interest rate risk is managed on a daily basis by the Investment Manager.

There are no collateral amounts held by UBS Europe SE, Luxembourg Branch., the Sub-Custodian or JP Morgan as at 30 September 2021. In the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Depository/Custodian, the Company will be treated as a general creditor.

The risk that counterparties to both derivative and other instruments might default on their obligations is monitored on an ongoing basis by the Investment Manager. To manage the level of credit risk, the Company deals with counterparties of good credit standing (minimum of A2 or equivalent).

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s liquidity and cash flows are related to its market risks. Liquidity and cash flow risk may result from a significant decline in the market value of investments. The performance of the Company will therefore depend in part on the ability of the Investment Manager to anticipate and respond to such fluctuations in market interest rates and to utilise appropriate strategies to maximise returns, while also attempting to minimise the associated risks. The Company’s constitution provides for daily creation and cancellation of shares and it is therefore exposed to the liquidity risk of meeting shareholder redemptions at any time. Financial liabilities of the Company comprise of derivatives at fair value through profit and loss, amounts due to broker, management fees payable, distributions payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and net assets attributable to holders of participating shares.

10. Taxation

The Company is an investment undertaking as defined in section 739B of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997. Therefore the Company is not liable to tax in respect of its income and gains, other than on the occurrence of a chargeable event. Generally a chargeable event arises on redemption, repurchase, cancellation, transfer of shares or on the ending of a ‘Relevant Period’. A ‘Relevant Period’ is an eight year period beginning with the acquisition of the shares by the Shareholder and each subsequent period of eight years beginning immediately after the preceding Relevant Period.

A gain on a chargeable event does not arise in respect of: • An exchange by a shareholder, effected by way of an arm’s length bargain where no payment is made to the

shareholder, of shares in the Company for other shares in the Company; • Any transactions (which might otherwise be considered a chargeable event) in relation to shares held in a

recognised clearing system as designated by order of the Irish Revenue Commissioners; • A transfer by a shareholder of the entitlement to shares where the transfer is between spouses and former

spouses, subject to certain conditions; or • An exchange of shares arising on a qualifying amalgamation or reconstruction (within the meaning of Section

739H of the Taxes Act) of the Company with another investment undertaking.

In the absence of an appropriate declaration, the Company will be liable to Irish tax on the occurrence of a chargeable event. The VAT liability due but not yet paid to revenue was GBP Nil as at 30 September 2021 (2020: GBP Nil). Capital gains, dividends and interest received may be subject to withholding taxes imposed by the country of origin and such taxes may not be recoverable by the Company or its shareholders.

11. Segregation of liabilities between sub-funds As a matter of Irish law, the assets of one sub-fund will not be available to meet the liabilities of another. However, the Company is a single legal entity which may operate or have assets held on behalf of or be subject to claims in other jurisdictions which may not necessarily recognise such ring-fencing and, in such circumstances, the assets of one sub-fund may be exposed to the liabilities of another. Shareholders who choose or are obliged under local regulations to pay or receive subscription or redemption monies or dividends via an intermediate entity rather than directly to or from the Administrator (e.g. a Paying Agent in a local jurisdiction) bear a credit risk against that intermediate entity with respect to (a) subscription monies prior to the transmission of such monies to the Administrator for the account of the Company and (b) redemption monies payable by such intermediate entity to the relevant shareholder.

17. Significant events during the year

The outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19), declared by the World Health Organisation as a global pandemic on the 11 March 2020, continues to impact many aspects of daily life and the global economy. Travel, movement and operational restrictions have been implemented by many countries. In some cases, lockdowns have been applied – in varying degrees – to reflect further waves of COVID-19. While these may imply a new stage of the crisis, they are not unprecedented in the same way as the initial impact. The pandemic and the measures taken to tackle COVID-19, including the development and roll out of vaccines globally, continue to affect economies and public equity markets globally. The success of vaccine programs is expected to have a major impact on the speed and nature of economic recovery but the timing and form of the recovery remains uncertain, particularly with the emergence of new strains of COVID-19. The Directors are continuing to utilise business continuity and resilience processes with the objective of mitigating the impact of COVID-19.

For the year ended 30 September 2021

17. Significant events during the year (Continued)

The Investment Manager has continued to provide full liquidity and active management throughout this period. The Funds are a going concern, financially stable and able to meet obligations to shareholders. We foresee no reason for this to change as the situation continues to evolve. On 9 March 2021 an addendum to the prospectus of the Fund was filed in accordance with the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation requirements.

18. Significant events after the year end

Omicron, a new "variant of concern," injected volatility back into risk assets in December. But despite this, equities have continued to advance. While mindful of risks around COVID-19 variants and inflation, we keep a positive outlook on equities for the start of 2022. Global economic growth is likely to remain above trend for the first half of 2022, monetary policy is still accommodative, even if emergency support measures are being scaled back, and we expect 10% growth in global corporate earnings in the year ahead. Other risk factors appear to be subsiding too, with energy prices coming off, supply chain issues showing some signs of easing, the Fed taking a data-based approach to its inflation policy, and China on track to offer some incremental easing. We continue to favour winners from global growth, including energy, financials, and Eurozone and Japanese equities. On 13 December 2021, an addendum to the prospectus of the Fund was filed and noted by the Central Bank in respect of the Taxonomy disclosure requirements under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. There were no other significant post balance sheet events that require adjustment to or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

19. Soft commissions

The Investment Manager may make use of arrangements to enable it to obtain execution and research services which are beneficial to the sub-funds, both from counterparties and third parties. All transactions undertaken and the services provided under these arrangements in respect of the sub-funds will be subject to Financial Conduct Authority rules and to the fundamental rule of providing best execution to the sub-funds, being the best price available in the market, exclusive of any charges, but taking into account any exceptional circumstances such as counterparty risk, order size or client instructions. There were no soft commissions arrangements during the year ended 30 September 2021.

20. Efficient portfolio management The Investment Manager may utilise techniques and instruments for the purpose of efficient portfolio management to hedge against market movements, currency exchange or interest rate risk within the limits stipulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”). These instruments include forward foreign exchange contracts, futures contracts, options, put and call options on securities, indices and currencies, stock index contracts, interest rate swap contracts, repurchase/reverse repurchase agreements and stock lending agreements.

21. Cross investments

There were no cross investments made by the sub-funds during the year.

22. Approval of financial statements

The accounts were approved and authorised for issue by the board on 26 January 2022.

2. Portfolio turnover rate (“PTR”) The portfolio turnover rate is determined on the basis of the standard method accepted, which is the net of total purchases and sales plus the net of total subscriptions and redemptions, further divided by the average net assets. The PTR is relevant in disclosing the additional costs incurred by the sub-funds when buying and selling investments. With the PTR of 100%, sub-funds’ assets were turned over once. This, however, does not result in significant additional costs. For the year ended 30 September 2021, the PTR for each sub-fund is as follows:

The Resolution Fund International (Ireland) Plc – Resolution (Irl) Global Equity Fund 40.00% – Resolution (Irl) Global Fixed Income Fund 30.00% – Resolution (Irl) UK Fixed Income Fund 9.00% – Resolution (Irl) World Equity Fund 34.00%

3. Remuneration Disclosure The European Union Directive 2014/91/EU as implemented in Ireland by S.I. No. 143/2016 - European Union (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) (Amendment) Regulations 2016, requires management companies to establish and apply remuneration policies and practices that promote sound and effective risk management, and do not encourage risk taking which is inconsistent with the risk profile of the UCITS. To that effect, Carne Global Fund Managers (Ireland) Limited (“the Manager”), has implemented a remuneration policy that applies to all UCITS for which the Manager acts as manager (the “Remuneration Policy”) and covers all staff whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the Manager or the UCITS it manages (“Identified Staff of the Manager”). The Remuneration Policy also applies to all alternative investment funds for which the Manager acts as alternative investment fund manager. In accordance with the Remuneration Policy, all remuneration paid to Identified Staff of the Manager can be divided into: • Fixed remuneration (payments or benefits without consideration of any performance criteria); and • Variable remuneration (additional payments or benefits depending on performance or, in certain cases,

other contractual criteria) which is not based on the performance of the UCITS. The Manager has designated the following persons as Identified Staff of the Manager: 1. The Designated Persons; 2. Each of the Manager’s Directors; 3. Compliance Officer; 4. Risk Officer; 5. Chief Operating Officer; and 6. All members of the investment committee. The Manager has a business model, policies and procedures which by their nature do not promote excessive risk taking and take account of the nature, scale and complexity of the Manager and the UCITS. The Remuneration Policy is designed to discourage risk taking that is inconsistent with the risk profile of the UCITS and the Manager is not incentivised or rewarded for taking excessive risk. The Manager has determined not to constitute a separate remuneration committee and for remuneration matters to be determined through the Manager’s Operations & Compliance Committee. The Manager’s Operations & Compliance Committee is responsible for the ongoing implementation of the Manager’s remuneration matters and will assess, oversee and review the remuneration arrangements of the Manager as well as that of the delegates as relevant, in line with the provisions of the applicable remuneration requirements.

The Resolution Fund International (Ireland) Plc Supplemental Unaudited Information

3. Remuneration Disclosure (continued) The Manager’s parent company is Carne Global Financial Services Limited (“Carne”). Carne operates through a shared services organisational model which provides that Carne employs the majority of staff and enters into inter-group agreements with other Carne Group entities within the group to ensure such entities are resourced appropriately. Additionally, the Manager directly employs a limited number of staff. Each of the Identified Staff, other than one non-executive independent Director, are employed and paid directly by Carne and remunerated based on their contribution to the Carne Group as a whole. In return for the services of each of the Carne Identified Staff, the Manager pays an annual staff recharge to Carne (the “Staff Recharge”). The non-executive independent Director is paid a fixed remuneration and each other Identified Staff member’s remuneration is linked to their overall individual contribution to the Carne Group, with reference to both financial and non-financial criteria and not directly linked to the performance of specific business units or targets reached or the performance of the UCITS. The aggregate of the total Staff Recharge and the remuneration of the independent non-executive Director is EUR1,208,000 paid to 12 individuals for the year ended 31 December 2020. The Manager has also determined that, on the basis of number of sub-funds / net asset value of the UCITS relative to the number of sub-funds / assets under management, the portion of this figure attributable to the UCITS is €13,038. The Fund does not pay any fixed or variable remuneration to identified staff of the Investment Manager. There have been no material changes made to the Remuneration Policy or the Manager’s remuneration practices and procedures during the financial year. 4. Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR) The Company does not invest in repurchase transactions, securities or commodity lending or securities or commodity borrowing, buy or sell back transactions, margin lending transactions and therefore compliance with SFTR regulations is not applicable.
