    Market changes over the year to end-May 2017

    Monetary policy pursued by the European Central Bank (ECB) during the financial year

    The European Central Banks monetary policy during the period under review can be characterised as highly accommodative. Since March 2016, the ECBs key interest rates have been hovering at very low levels (main refinancing rate at 0%, marginal lending rate at 0.25% and deposit facility rate at -0.40%). Until March 2017, asset purchases (including investment grade non-bank corporate bonds) amounted to EUR 80 billion a month as part of the quantitative easing programme. In December it was announced that this amount would be reduced to EUR 60 billion, but the purchase programme has been extended until the end of December 2017. In addition to making technical adjustments (reinvestment of maturing securities, option to purchase shorter-dated bonds or bonds with an interest rate below the deposit rate), the ECB attempted to maintain a highly accommodative tone. Although economic activity surveys have steadily improved since last autumn and GDP growth has accelerated, the ECB has stressed that inflation is still weak and that there are no signs of a convincing upward trend in inflation (0.9% in May 2017). The ECB still considers that the volume of asset purchasing may rise if financial conditions become inconsistent with further progress towards a sustained adjustment in the path of inflation. The only concession to this somewhat more aggressive tone was the announcement in April that downside risks to growth have fallen and are now mainly due to external factors. The minutes of the ECBs meeting, published on 18 May, reveal that the Governing Council believes communication should be adjusted in a very gradual and cautious manner in order not to trigger excessive volatility on the markets should the changes be interpreted as signs of a shift in monetary policy.

    Management policy

    The funds net assets increased from EUR 7.15 billion at 31 May 2016 to EUR 8.26 billion at 31 May 2017.

    In a context marked by disappointing economic figures, steadily declining interest rates and a sharp fall in credit spreads, the investment strategy pursued during the 2016/2017 financial year for the BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH EUR sub fund of the BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH SICAV was constant. It consisted in maintaining significant cash holdings, diversifying issuers, favouring short-term investments with terms ranging from one to three months and taking advantage of market opportunities for longer-term investments of between nine and twelve months with more attractive carry.

    Liquidity was mainly ensured via overnight CDs and reverse repos, primarily in German, Belgian, Dutch and French sovereign debt.

    With regard to investment diversification, some US issuers still favoured currency during the past financial year, even though demand has been less apparent during the past three months.

    We continued to pursue an active interest rate strategy. This involved hedging our long-term investments where possible in order to protect ourselves against a potential interest rate hike, which is expected to occur at the end of 2017.

    The 2016/2017 financial year was marked by a very volatile market environment in which both interest rates and issuer credit ratings were still leaning slightly towards negative territory; the management policy pursued for the BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH EUR (I units) sub fund resulted in a net fall of 0.348% in the NAV over the financial year in question. This performance, established for the period from 31 May 2016 to 31 May 2017, is not a guide to future results. For reference, the arithmetic mean of the Eonia (calculated using the OIS method) over the same period was -0.347%.

    Market changes over the year to end-May 2017

    Monetary policy pursued by the Bank of England (BoE) during the financial year

    On 24 June 2016, the referendum results were announced, with a majority voting in favour of Brexit. The Bank of England, which had left monetary policy unchanged for several months, hinted that it might cut its key interest rate by 25 bp and extend its QE programme. Prime Minister David Cameron announced his resignation after the referendum, and Theresa May was chosen as the new leader of the Conservative Party. She was appointed the new head of government on 13 July 2016, becoming the second woman to occupy the post after Margaret Thatcher. On 4 August, in the aftermath of the vote to leave the European Union, the BoE decided to cut its key interest rate by 25 bp and to extend its QE programme by GBP 60 billion to GBP 435 billion. Theresa May triggered Article 50 on 29 March 2017, thus formally beginning the process to leave the EU. During this period, the pound sterling weakened significantly, but economic indicators remained stable despite the fact that further weakening was predicted.

    Management policy

    The funds net assets increased from GBP 1.80 billion at 31 May 2016 to GBP 2.01 billion at 31 May 2017.

    In an unsettled market environment, the investment strategy pursued during the 2016/2017 financial year for the BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH GBP sub fund of the BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH SICAV was constant. It consisted in maintaining significant cash holdings, while diversifying issuers and regions as much as possible. Issuers and potential returns also became less attractive as a result of the BoEs interest rate cuts, which prompted us to largely pursue a barbell portfolio strategy (purchasing very short-term securities as opposed to long-term securities maturing within one year) to take advantage of better carry.

    Liquidity was mainly ensured via overnight deposits and reverse repos in UK T-Bills.

    We continued to pursue an active interest rate risk management strategy via hedging swaps during the first few months of the financial year.

    The management policy pursued for the BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH GBP (I units) sub fund resulted in a net increase of 0.377% in the NAV over the financial year in question. This performance, established for the period from 31 May 2016 to 31 May 2017, is not a guide to future results. For reference, the arithmetic mean of the Sonia (calculated using the OIS method) over the same period was 0.255%.

    Management policy

    The funds net assets increased from EUR 2.73 billion at 31 May 2016 to EUR 2.75 billion at 31 May 2017.

    In a context marked by disappointing economic figures, steadily declining interest rates and a sharp fall in credit spreads, the investment strategy pursued during the 2016/2017 financial year for the BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH MONEY 3M subfund of the BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH SICAV was constant.

    It consisted in maintaining a high weighted average life (WAL), diversifying investments in corporate issuers up to six months and investing in bank debt instruments maturing within one year.

    We maintained our credit strategy, which consisted in engaging in arbitrage operations between the yields of negotiable debt securities and bonds at the end of their term, and taking advantage of some rare opportunities on the primary market for 2-year floating rate notes, which was very subdued over the entire financial year.

    The funds liquidity was ensured by investments in money market UCITS, treasury securities and fixed-rate negotiable debt securities maturing within six months.

    We continued to pursue an active interest rate strategy. This involved hedging our long-term investments where possible in order to protect ourselves against a potential interest rate hike, which is expected to occur at the end of 2017.

    The management policy pursued for BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH MONEY 3M (I units) resulted in a net fall of 0.049% in the NAV over the financial year in question. This performance, established for the period from 31 May 2016 to 31 May 2017, is not a guide to future results. For reference, the arithmetic mean of the Eonia (calculated using the OIS method) over the same period was -0.347%.

    In accordance with the provisions of article 25 of the Code of Ethics for UCITS with regard to securities or products in which its founding group has an interest, please note that during the financial year, the FCP invested in certificates of deposit issued by the BNP PARIBAS group. We also used UCITS from the groups range of money market instruments.

    Market changes over the year to end-May 2017

    Monetary policy pursued by the Fed during the financial year At the start of the period under review, the US federal funds target rate was in the 0.50%0.75% range subsequent to the interest rate rise of 16 December 2015, which marked the end of the zero interest rate policy in force since the end of 2008. The Fed raised interest rates again one year later, and the pace of increases has accelerated, taking the range to 0.75%1% on 15 March 2017. The key interest rates have not changed since then but the Fed has stressed that the economy is on track to meet the objectives of maximum employment and keeping inflation under control. The Fed also announced that it intends to pursue the normalisation of its key interest rate policy. In a press release published at the beginning of May, the Fed describes the slowdown in growth during the first quarter as transitory, implying that modest GDP performance and consumer spending (1.2% and 0.6% respectively, annualised after adjustments) would not influence the pace of monetary policy normalisation. This more voluntarist tone led observers to adjust their forecasts in this regard. However, Fed funds futures show that projections are still falling slightly short of what the Fed has signalled as an appropriate yield level. The other aspect of normalisation reducing the size of the balance sheet will also have to be implemented in the coming months. Even though the issue has been debated for some time, it took centre stage at the beginning of April when the minutes of the meeting held on 15 March were published. The minutes of the subsequent meeting showed that the FOMCs discussions had moved forward. The committee appears to have reached a consensus regarding which procedure to adopt (which will most likely happen before the end of the year). It would involve setting a ceiling for maturing securities (both Treasury securities and MBS), which will be reinvested once they exceed this ceiling. The ceiling will be raised regularly, which should allow the size of the balance sheet to be gradually reduced. This new phase will be rolled out despite doubts surrounding Janet Yellens future as head of the Fed. Up until now it was clear that she would not be reappointed after the end of her term in February 2018, but President Trump said in April that he likes and respects her.

    Management policy

    The funds net assets increased from USD 2.4 billion at 31 May 2016 to USD 3.10 billion at 31 May 2017.

    In a context marked by encouraging economic figures and expectations of a series of interest rate hikes, the investment strategy pursued during the 2016/2017 financial year for the BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH USD subfund of the BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH SICAV was very active. In the first half of the financial year (after expectations of an interest rate hike), it consisted in maintaining significant cash holdings and focusing mostly on investments with terms of zero to three months, while diversifying issuers and regions as much as possible. In the second half of the financial year, the strategy involved taking advantage of market opportunities to extend the WAL of the portfolio by investing in securities maturing within one year and benefiting from better carry.

    We pursued an active interest rate risk management strategy via hedging swaps, but also by focusing on long-term investments (six months to one year) with a floating or adjustable rate.

    Liquidity was mainly ensured via time deposits.

    The 2016/2017 financial year was marked by interest rate hikes and a very active currency market; against this background, the management policy pursued for the BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH USD (I units) subfund resulted in a net increase of 0.806% in the NAV over the financial year in question. This performance, established for the period from 31 May 2016 to 31 May 2017, is not a guide to future results. For reference, the arithmetic mean of the overnight federal funds rate (calculated using the OIS method) over the same period was 0.568%.

    Note 1 - General Information

    a) Events that occurred during the financial year ended 31 May 2017

    No special event occurred during this financial year.

    b) Sub-funds open

    On 31 May 2017 the Company comprised four sub-funds, all of them being open for subscriptions:

    BNP Paribas InstiCash EUR, expressed in euros (EUR); BNP Paribas InstiCash GBP, expressed in Pound Sterling (GBP); BNP Paribas InstiCash Money 3M EUR, expressed in euros (EUR); BNP Paribas InstiCash USD, expressed in United States Dollar (USD).

    The investment objective of the sub-funds BNP Paribas InstiCash EUR, BNP Paribas InstiCash GBP and BNP Paribas InstiCash USD seeks to achieve a return in line with prevailing money market rates while aiming to preserve capital consistent with such rates and to maintain a high degree of liquidity.

    The investment objective of BNP Paribas InstiCash Money 3M EUR seeks to achieve the best possible return in line with prevailing money market rates, over a 3-month period corresponding to the recommended investment horizon of the fund.

    The sub-funds BNP Paribas InstiCash EUR, BNP Paribas InstiCash GBP and BNP Paribas InstiCash USD are invested in a diversified portfolio of money market instruments such as certificates of deposit, treasury bills, commercial papers and medium term notes issued in the sub-funds currencies.

    The sub-funds BNP Paribas InstiCash EUR, BNP Paribas InstiCash GBP and BNP Paribas InstiCash USD are short-term money market funds as defined by ESMA.

    The sub-fund BNP Paribas InstiCash Money 3M EUR is invested in a diversified portfolio of high quality money market instruments such as certificates of deposit, treasury bills, commercial papers and medium term notes issued in EUR.

    The sub-fund BNP Paribas InstiCash Money 3M EUR is a money market fund as defined by ESMA.

    All the sub-funds also invest in reverse repurchase agreements with leading counterparties, as defined in the Prospectus. Each sub-fund may also, hold up to 49% of its net assets in cash on an ancillary basis.

    The sub-funds may also use financial derivative instruments (interest rate swaps) for hedging purpose only for BNP Paribas InstiCash EUR, BNP Paribas InstiCash GBP and BNP Paribas InstiCash USD, and for hedging or exposure purpose for the sub-fund BNP Paribas InstiCash Money 3M EUR.

    The impact of these financial derivative instruments will be taken into account for the calculation of the weighted average maturity (interest rate risk) of the sub-funds. These financial derivative instruments will be used in line with the money market investment strategy of the sub-fund.

    Note 2 - Principal accounting methods

    The financial statements of the Company are made in accordance with the regulatory requirements and the accounting policies generally admitted in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The financial statements of BNP Paribas InstiCash represent the sum of the financial statements of each sub-fund of the Company.

    These financial statements have been drawn up in euros (EUR) by converting the financial statements of each sub-fund using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date (see Note 8). The financial statements of the Fund have been drawn up on the basis of the last net asset value calculated during the financial year.

    This annual report is prepared on the basis of the last net asset value as at 31 May 2017.

  • BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH

    Notes to the financial statements at 31/05/2017

    Page 25

    b) Foreign currencies

    The financial statements of each sub-fund of the Company are expressed in the working currency of the sub-fund and its accounting records are kept in that currency. Assets and liabilities in other currencies are recorded in the currency of the sub-fund based on the exchange rate in effect in Luxembourg on the Valuation Day. Income and expenses in other currencies are recorded in the currency of the sub-fund based on the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction.

    The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations and changes in net assets.

    The consolidated accounts are expressed in euros (EUR) and are provided for information purposes only. For the purposes of consolidation the corresponding items in the statements of the sub-fund are converted into euros at the exchange rates prevailing at balance sheet date.

    c) Valuation of investments

    The valuation of all securities listed on a stock exchange or any other regulated market, which functions regularly, is recognised and accessible to the public, is based on the last known closing price on the valuation day, and, if the securities concerned are traded on several markets, on the basis of the last known closing price on the major market on which they are traded; if this price is not a true reflection, the valuation shall be based on the probable sale price estimated by the Board of Directors in a prudent and bona fide manner.

    Unlisted securities or securities not traded on a stock exchange or another regulated market which functions in a regular manner is recognized and accessible to the public, shall be valued on the basis of the probable sale price estimated in a prudent and bona fide manner by a qualified professional appointed for this purpose by the Board of Directors.

    Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains or losses on securities sold are computed on a weighted average cost basis.

    Fixed rate bonds with a maturity lower than three months and floating-rate bonds with a less than one year maturity and of which the coupon is fixed at least quarterly are considered to be money market instruments and are valued as such.

    Where practice allows, liquid assets, money market instruments and all other instruments may be valued at nominal value plus any accrued interest or according to the linear amortisation method. The decision to value the portfolios assets by the linear amortisation method must be approved by the Board of Directors, which must give reasons for its decision. The Board of Directors shall put in place adequate verifications for the valuation of these instruments.

    The results of the valuation according to the linear amortisation method are included under the heading Other assets in the statement of net assets and under the heading Income on investments and assets in the statement of operations and changes in net assets.

    d) Interest

    Interest is recognized on a prorata basis after deduction of any withholding taxes that may be applicable.

    e) Valuation of Swap transactions

    Swap transactions on interest rates are valued at their market value established by reference to the applicable curve of the interest rates. Swap transactions on financial instruments or indices are valued at their market value established by reference to the financial instruments or indices concerned. Valuation of the swap contracts relating to said financial instruments or indices is based on the market value of the swap transactions, in accordance with the procedures laid down by the Board of Directors.

    The interest receivable and payable on swap transactions is included in the statement of net assets under the heading Other assets or Other liabilities and in the statement of operations and changes in net assets under the heading Income on investments and assets or Interest on swaps.

    Notes to the financial statements at 31/05/2017

    Page 27

    iii. whose weighted residual portfolio maturity does not exceed 90 days, and iv. that have obtained the highest possible rating from a recognized rating agency;

    c) sub-funds, share categories and/or classes reserved to:

    i. institutions for occupational retirement pension or similar investment vehicles, set up at the initiative of one or more employers for the benefit of their employees, and

    When due, the taxe dabonnement is payable quarterly based on the relevant net assets and calculated at the end of the quarter for which it is applicable.

    In addition, the Company may be subject to foreign UCIs tax, and/or other regulators levy, in the country where the sub-fund is registered for distribution.

    Taxation of the Companys investments

    Some of the Companys portfolio income, especially income on dividends and interest, as well as certain capital gains, may be subject to tax at various rates and of different types in the countries in which they are generated. This income and capital gains may also be subject to withholding tax. Under certain circumstances, the Company may not be eligible for the international agreements preventing double taxation that exist between the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and other countries. Some countries will only consider that persons taxable in Luxembourg qualify under these agreements.

    Taxation of shareholders

    a) Residents of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

    On the date of the Prospectus (December 2016), the dividends earned and capital gains made on the sale of shares by residents of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are not subject to withholding tax.

    Dividends are taxable at the base rate.

    Capital gains made on the sale of shares are not subject to income tax if the shares are held for a period of over six months, except in the case of resident shareholders holding over 10% of the shares of the Company.

    b) Non-residents

    In principle, according to current law and in the event that the provisions of Directive 2011/16 as specified in item c) below do not apply:

    - the dividends earned and the capital gains made on the sale of shares by non-residents are not subject to withholding tax;

    - the capital gains made by non-residents on the sale of shares are not subject to Luxembourg income tax.

    Nevertheless, if there is a dual tax convention between the Grand Duchy and the shareholders country of residence, the capital gains made on the sale of shares are tax-exempt in principle in Luxembourg, with the taxation authority being attributed to the shareholders country of residence.

    c) Residents of another member state of the European Union, including the French overseas departments, the Azores, Madeira, the Canary Islands, the land Islands and Gibraltar.

    Any individual who receives dividends from the Company or the proceeds from the sale of shares in the Company through a paying agent based in a state other than the one in which he resides is advised to seek information on the legal and regulatory provisions applicable to him.

    Most countries covered by Directive 2011/16 will report to the tax authorities in the state of residence of the beneficial owner of the income the total gross amount relating to the amount distributed by the Company and/or the total gross proceeds from the sale, refund or redemption of shares in the Company.

  • BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH

    Notes to the financial statements at 31/05/2017

    Page 28

    Until 31 December 2014, instead of such reporting, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as well as certain other countries, including Austria and Switzerland, will generally apply a withholding tax on the interest and other income related to interest paid to a beneficial owner resident in another member state. This withholding tax will be 35%. Such withholding will be taken into consideration for tax purposes by the tax authority of the state of residence of the individual, in accordance with applicable tax law. The beneficial owner may instruct the paying agent to submit to the information-exchange system or to use a tax certificate as an alternative to the withholding tax.

    d) Residents of third countries or territories

    No withholding tax is levied on interest paid to residents of third countries or territories. Nevertheless, in the framework of Automatic Exchange of Information package (AEOI) covering fiscal matters elaborated by OECD, the Financial Institution residents of the States participants of AEOI will communicate to the Fiscal Authority of participating State of residence of the revenues beneficiary, the financial and personal information as defined by this regulation. The list of countries that are signatories of the AEOI is available on the website: http://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/

    e) US Tax

    Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) provisions coming into force as from 1 July 2014, in the case the Company invests directly or indirectly in US assets, income received from such US investments could be subject to a 30% US withholding tax.

    To avoid such withholding tax the United States have entered, on 28 March 2014, into an intergovernmental agreement (the IGA) with the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg under which the Luxembourg financial institutions undertake due diligence to report certain information on their direct or indirect U.S. investors to the Luxembourg Tax authorities. Such information will be onward reported by the Luxembourg tax authorities to the U.S. Internal Revenue Services (IRS).

    The foregoing provisions are based on the Law and practices currently in force, and are subject to change. Potential investors are advised to seek information in their country of origin, place of residence or domicile on the possible tax consequences associated with their investment. The attention of investors is also drawn to certain tax provisions specific to individual countries in which the Company publicly markets its shares.

    Note 6 - Reverse repurchase agreements

    In accordance with the Circulars 08/356 and 14/592, each sub-fund may engage in reverse repurchase agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements consist of a forward transaction at the maturity of which the seller (counterparty) has the obligation to repurchase the asset sold and the sub-fund the obligation to return the asset received under the transaction.

    However, the involvement of a sub-fund in such agreements is subject to the following rules:

    a) Each sub-fund may buy securities with reverse repurchase options only if the counterparties in these agreements are first-rank financial institutions specialising in this type of transaction; and

    b) During the lifetime of a reverse repurchase agreement, a sub-fund may not sell the securities forming the subject of the contract until the counterpartys reverse repurchase option has been exercised or the reverse repurchase term has expired.

    In addition, each sub-fund must ensure that the value of the repurchase agreement transactions is at a level that the sub-fund is capable at all times of meeting its share/unit repurchase obligations to shareholders/unitholders.

    The securities which are the subject of reverse repurchase transactions must be compliant with the investment policy of the Company and must together with the other securities which the Company holds in its portfolio, globally comply with the investment restrictions of the Company.

    A sub-fund that enters into a reverse repurchase agreement will ensure that:

    - At any time the sub-fund may recall the full amount of cash or terminate the reverse repurchase agreement on either an accrued basis or a mark-to-market basis. When the cash is recallable at any time on a mark-to-market basis, the mark-to-market value of the reverse repurchase agreement should be used for the calculation of the net asset value of the sub-fund.

    - At any time the sub-fund may recall any securities subject to the reverse repurchase agreement or terminate the repurchase agreement into which it has entered.

    For the sub-fund BNP Paribas InstiCash EUR, the account Other fees includes an amount of EUR 4 953 857 relating to interest paid on reverse repurchase transactions and the account Income on investments and assets includes an amount of EUR 54 460 relating to interest collected on reverse repurchase transactions.
