The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’ report and the financial statements in accordance with

the Companies Act 2014 and the applicable regulations.

Irish company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under the law, the

Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting

Standards as adopted by the European Union (“Relevant Financial Reporting Framework”). Under company law,

the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view

of the assets, liabilities and financial position of GemCap Investment Funds (Ireland) Plc (the “Company”) as at the

financial year end date and of the profit or loss of the Company for the financial year and otherwise comply with the

Companies Act 2014.

In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies for the Company financial statements and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting

standards, identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those

standards; and

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

Company will continue in business.

The Directors are responsible for ensuring that the Company keeps or causes to be kept adequate accounting

records which correctly explain and record the transactions of the Company, enable at any time the assets,

liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company to be determined with reasonable accuracy, enable

them to ensure that the financial statements and Directors’ report comply with the Companies Act 2014 and with

the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations,

2011 and Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective

Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2019 (as amended) and the Listing Rules of the Irish Stock

Exchange and enable the financial statements to be audited. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of

the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other

irregularities.

COVID 19Since early January 2020, global financial markets have been monitoring and reacting to the Coronavirus (Covid-

19) that is believed to have originated in Wuhan, China. As at late March 2021, the virus has infected over

117 million people, across 185 countries, with at least 2.6 million having succumbed to the virus. While

containment efforts may have helped to slow the growth of the virus, global financial markets reacted sharply to the

news that the virus was continuing to spread at the start of March 2020, as well as concerns regarding the larger

economic impact this may have on a global scale. However, this was followed by a remarkable rebound with

notable public policy intervention by governments globally to reinstate investor confidence in the financial markets

while majority of countries re-introduced lockdown measures after a short easing in the summer. The fight and

hope against Covid-19 is now placed on vaccine development which is moving at record speed with more than

170 different vaccines in trials and at least 4 vaccines approved for global roll out. Since December 2020, there has

been vaccination rolled out globally with Israel, the UK and US among the countries ahead of the race to vaccinate

their nation. The eventual impact on the global economy and markets will largely depend upon the scale and the

duration of the outbreak which at this point is not fully known.

The GemCap Investment Funds (Ireland) Plc Board has been monitoring the outbreak as markets reacted to the

pandemic with increased volatility and uncertainty. Since the onset of the pandemic the Board has also noted the

operational risks that are posed to the Company and its service providers due to global and local movement

restrictions that have been enacted by various governments. The Board will continue to monitor this situation. The

Gemini Capital Management (Ireland) Limited team continues to monitor this situation closely on behalf of the

Company and has put in place measures to safeguard its ability to provide services to the Company and each

Sub-Fund documented in its business continuity plan, supported by guidance from the WHO as well as

international and local government agencies and health authorities. Staff are able to work from home effectively

and there is no impact on the business as usual. At this time there is also close and ongoing communication with the

Investment Managers. There were not any significant net redemptions from the Sub-Funds during the year or since

the year end. All redemptions in the Sub-Funds have been met fully and in a timely manner. The Sub-Funds

continue to be managed in accordance with their investment objectives, investment policies and risk profiles.

Corporate Governance Code

General PrinciplesThe European Communities (Directive 2006/46/EC) Regulations (S.I. 450 of 2009 and S.I. 83 of 2010) (the

“Regulations”) requires the inclusion of a corporate governance statement in the Report of the Directors.

practices imposed by:

(i) The Irish Companies Act 2014 which is available for inspection at the registered office of the Company; and

may also be obtained at www.irishstatutebook.ie/home.html.

Company and at the Companies Registration Office in Ireland;

(iv) The Irish Stock Exchange (“ISE”) through the ISE Code of Listing Requirements and Procedures which can be

Irish Funds has published a corporate governance code, the Corporate Governance Code for Collective Investment

Schemes and Management Companies (the “Code”) that may be adopted on a voluntary basis by Irish authorised

collective investment schemes. It should be noted that the Code reflects existing corporate governance practices

imposed on Irish authorised collective investment schemes, as noted above. If the Code is adopted on a voluntary

basis, it can be referred to in the disclosures made in the Report of the Directors in compliance with the provisions

of the European Communities (Directive 2006/46/EC) Regulations (i.e. S.I. 450 of 2009 and S.I. 83 of 2010).

The Board of Directors voluntarily complies with the Code which was adopted with effect on 31st December 2012.

The Board of Directors have assessed the measures included in the Code as being consistent with its corporate

governance practices and procedures for the financial year.

Internal Control and Risk Management Systems in Relation to Financial ReportingThe Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control and risk

management systems of the Company in relation to the financial reporting process. Such systems are designed to

manage rather than eliminate the risk of error or fraud in achieving the Company’s financial reporting objectives

and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The Board of Directors have procedures in place to ensure all relevant books of account are properly maintained

and are readily available, including production of annual and half-yearly financial statements. The annual financial

statements of the Company are required to be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and the annual

and half-yearly financial statements of the Company are required to be filed with the Central Bank and the Irish

Stock Exchange. The statutory financial statements are required to be audited by independent auditors who report

annually to the Board on their findings.

The Board of Directors have appointed the Administrator to maintain the books and records of the Company. The

Administrator is authorised and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland and must comply with the rules imposed

by the Central Bank of Ireland. The financial statements are prepared by the Administrator in compliance with

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The Administrator uses various internal controls and

checklists to ensure that the financial statements include complete and appropriate disclosures required under IFRS

and relevant legislation.

From time to time the Board also examines and evaluates the Administrator’s financial accounting and reporting

routines. The Board of Directors monitors and evaluates the independent auditor’s performance, qualifications and

independence. As part of the review procedures the Board of Directors receives reports on the audit process.

The Board evaluates and discusses significant accounting and reporting issues as the need arises.

Dealings with ShareholdersThe convening and conduct of Shareholders’ meetings are governed by the Articles of Association of the Company

and the Companies Acts. Although the Directors may convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company at

any time, the Directors are required to convene an annual general meeting of the Company within fifteen months of

the date of the previous annual general meeting thereafter. Shareholders representing not less than one-tenth of the

Corporate Governance Code (Continued)

Dealings with Shareholders (Continued)paid up share capital of the Company may also request the Directors to convene a Shareholders’ meeting. Not less

than twenty one 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 members present either in person or by proxy constitutes a quorum at a general meeting provided that the

quorum for a general meeting convened to consider any alteration to the class rights of shares is two Shareholders

holding or representing by proxy at least one third of the issued shares of the relevant Sub-Fund or 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. A poll may be demanded by the chairman of a general meeting of the Company or

at least two holders of participating or non-participating shares present in person or by proxy, or any holder or

holders of participating or non-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 meetings.

Shareholders may resolve to sanction an ordinary resolution or special resolution at a Shareholders’ meeting. An

ordinary resolution of the Company or of the Shareholders of a particular Sub-Fund or class 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 requires a

majority of not less than 75% of the 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.

Board composition and activitiesUnless otherwise determined by the Company in a general meeting, the number of Directors may not be less than

two. Currently the Board of Directors of the Company is composed of five Directors, being those listed in the

directory in these financial statements.

The business of the Company is managed by the Directors, who exercise all such powers of the Company unless

required by the Companies Acts or by the Articles of Association of the Company to be exercised by the Company

in a general meeting.

A Director may, and the Company Secretary of the Company on the requisition of a Director will, at any time

summon a meeting of the Directors. Questions arising at any meeting of the Directors are determined by a majority

of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the Chairperson has casting vote. The quorum necessary for the

transaction of business at a meeting of the Directors is two.

DiversityOwing to the organisational structure and operating model of the Company, whereby most activities/operational

tasks have been delegated by the Company to its various service providers, the Company does not have any

employees and therefore it has not been deemed necessary to put a documented diversity policy in place.

The Board acknowledges the importance of diversity to enhance its operation. During the selection process, the

Board is committed to selecting those with diversity of business skills, experience and gender and candidates for

appointment are considered based on these attributes.

The Board’s principle is that each member of the Board must have the skills, experience, knowledge and overall

suitability that will enable each Director to contribute individually, and as part of the board team, to the

effectiveness of the Board.

Diversity (Continued)Subject to that overriding principle, the Board believe that diversity of experience and approach, including

educational and professional background, gender, age and geographical provenance, amongst board members is of

great value when considering overall board balance in making new appointments to the Board.

The Board’s priority is to ensure that it continues to have strong leadership and the relevant skills to deliver the

business strategy.

The Board will ensure that all selection decisions are based on merit and that recruitment is fair and

nondiscriminatory.

Independent AuditorDeloitte Ireland LLP are the Company’s independent auditors and will continue in office in accordance with

Section 383 (2) of the Companies Act 2014, without need for a resolution at the AGM.

Directors Compliance StatementThe Directors acknowledge that they are responsible for securing the Company’s compliance with the relevant

obligations as defined in section 225 of the Companies Act 2014 which includes drawing up and adopting a

compliance policy statement. This sets out the Company’s policies that, in the Directors’ opinion, are appropriate

to the Company respecting compliance by the Company with its relevant obligations, putting in place appropriate

arrangements or structures, that are in the Directors’ opinion designed to secure material compliance with the

Company’s relevant obligations including reliance on the advice of persons employed by the Company and

external legal and tax advisers as considered appropriate from time to time and that they have reviewed the

effectiveness of these arrangements or structures during the financial year.

Statement of Relevant Audit InformationIn accordance with section 330 of the Companies Act 2014, the Directors confirm that during the financial year end

31st December 2020:

a) So far as the Directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company’s statutory

auditors are unaware; and

b) The Directors have taken all steps that ought to have been taken by the Directors in order to make themselves

aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company’s auditors are aware of that information.

Audit CommitteeThe Directors acknowledge that they are required, under Section 167 of the Companies Act 2014, as amended, to

consider the establishment of an audit committee. An audit committee's responsibilities under Section 167 must

comprise at least the following:

a) monitoring the financial reporting process;

b) monitoring the effectiveness of the systems of internal control, internal audit and risk management;

c) monitoring the statutory audits of the statutory financial statements; and

d) monitoring and reviewing the independence of the statutory auditors, in particular the provision of additional

services to the Company.

The Directors have decided not to establish an audit committee at this time. In the Directors' opinion, the

responsibilities of an audit committee under Section 167 are already being fulfilled by virtue of the Board’s

corporate governance regime and the existing arrangements and structures in place designed to monitor compliance

with the extensive legal and regulatory obligations of the Company including the Company’s financial reporting

process. In arriving at their decision, the Board have considered the nature, scale and complexity of the Company's

business activities in conjunction with the legal and regulatory obligations.

Deloitte Ireland LLP Chartered Accountants & Statutory Audit Firm

Independent auditor’s report to the members of GemCap Investment Funds (Ireland) Plc Report on the audit of the financial statements Opinion on the financial statements of GemCap Investment Funds (Ireland) Plc (the ‘company’) In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the company as at 31 December 2020 and of the profit for the financial year then ended; and

• have been properly prepared in accordance with the relevant financial reporting framework and, in particular, with the requirements of the Companies Act 2014.

The financial statements we have audited comprise:

• the Statement of Financial Position; • the Statement of Comprehensive Income; • the Statement of Changes in Net Assets attributable to Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares; • the Statement of Cash Flows; • the Schedule of Investments; and • the related notes 1 to 20, including a summary of significant accounting policies as set out in note 2.

The relevant financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is the Companies Act 2014 and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (“the relevant financial reporting framework”). Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Ireland) (ISAs (Ireland)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are described below in the “Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements” section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Ireland, including the Ethical Standard issued by the Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority (IAASA), as applied to public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Summary of our audit approach

Key audit matters

The key audit matters that we identified in the current year were: • Valuation of Swaps held by Atlantic House and Causeway sub-funds • Valuation of other investments • Existence of investments

Page 25: UCITS Annual Report - calamos.com

Materiality The materiality that we used in the current year was dertermined on the basis of 1% of average net assets.

Scoping

Our audit is a risk based approach taking into account the structure of the company, types of investments, the involvement of the third parties service providers, the accounting processes and controls in place and the industry in which the company operates.

Significant changes in our approach

There were no significant changes in our audit approach for the current year.

Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included: As part of our risk assessment procedures, we obtained an understanding of the relevant controls in place regarding going concern.

• Challenged the reasonableness of the key assumptions applied by the directors in their assessment. • Held discussions with management on the directors’ going concern assessment, the future plans for

the company and the feasibility of those plans. • Reviewed all board meeting minutes during the period up to the date of approval of the financial

statements, for evidence of any discussions and/or decisions that could impact the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

• Reviewed the capital activity and NAV movements, subsequent to the financial year end. • Assessed the adequacy of the relevant going concern disclosures made in the financial statements.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current financial year and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation of swaps held by Atlantic House and Causeway sub-funds

Key audit matter description

For the financial year end, the swaps of $209,567,919 make up 6.03% of total net assets of $3,472,661,835. The valuation of swaps held by Atlantic House and Causeway sub-funds is considered a key audit matter as the valuation process is complex, with a number of valuation inputs. The movement in the valuation of the company’s investments balance is the main driver of the company’s performance. There is a risk that the inputs to the pricing model used for the swaps, are incorrect.

How the scope of our audit responded to the key audit matter

• We considered the valuation basis used in light of the valuation policy as stipulated in the Prospectuses and the requirements of IFRS.

• We obtained confirmation of the valuation of all swaps directly from the relevant counterparties.

• We valued a sample of the swaps, using inputs obtained from an independent source, and compared the results against the values that have been recorded in the financial statements.

• We assessed the design and implementation of the controls at the company, specific to the valuation of the swaps.

Valuation of other investments

Key audit matter description

For the financial year end, the other investments of the company of $3,084,289,182 make up 88.82% of total net assets of $3,472,661,835. The valuation of investments is considered a key audit matter as it is the most significant number on the Statement of Financial Position. There is a risk that investments traded on an exchange or a secondary market may not be valued correctly in accordance with IFRS.

How the scope of our audit responded to the key audit

matter

• We obtained an understanding and assessed the design of the key controls that have been implemented over the valuation process for investments.

• We obtained the SOC1 Report relating to RBC Investor Services Ireland Limited and identified the key controls relating to the valuation process.

• We considered if the company’s valuation policy for investments is in line with IFRS.

• We agreed the prices of the investments in the investment portfolio at year end to closing prices published by independent pricing sources.

Existence of Investments

Key audit matter description

The existence of investments is considered a key audit matter as the investments represent a significant number on the Statement of Financial Position. The existence of and the company’s investments is crucial to ensuring the Financial Statements are free from material misstatement. There is a risk that the investments may not exist at year end.

How the scope of our audit responded to the key audit

matter

• We obtained an understanding and assessed the design of the key controls that have been implemented over the investment reconciliation process from administrator to depositary.

• We obtained the SOC1 Report relating to RBC Investor Services Ireland Limited and identified the key controls relating to the reconciliation process and for those key controls considered any exceptions in the Report.

• We obtained independent confirmations from the depositary and other counterparties at the financial year-end and agreed the amounts held to the investment portfolio.

• We tested a sample of unsettled trades to ensure that they have been recorded in the correct period.

Our audit procedures relating to these matters were designed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and not to express an opinion on individual accounts or disclosures. Our opinion on the financial statements is not modified with respect to any of the risks described above, and we do not express an opinion on these individual matters. Our application of materiality We define materiality as the magnitude of misstatement that makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person, relying on the financial statements, would be changed or influenced. We use materiality both in planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work. We determined materiality for each of the sub-funds to be 1% of the average net assets for the year. We have considered the average net assets to be the critical component for determining materiality because the main objective of each sub-fund is to provide investors with a total return. We have considered quantitative and qualitative factors such as understanding the entity and its environment, history of misstatements, complexity of the company, reliability of the control environment etc. We agreed with the Board of Directors (the “Board”) that we would report to them any audit differences in excess of 5% of materiality, as well as differences below that threshold which, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. We also report to the Board on disclosure matters that we identified when assessing the overall presentation of the financial statements. An overview of the scope of our audit Our audit is a risk based approach taking into account the structure of the company, types of investments, the involvement of the third parties service providers, the accounting processes and controls in place and the industry in which the company operates. The Company is incorporated as an open-ended investment company with variable capital and is organised under the laws of Ireland as a public limited company pursuant to the Irish Companies Act 2014. The company is authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”) as a UCITS (Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) pursuant to the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011. The company is organised as an umbrella fund with segregated liability between sub-funds. We assess the risks of each sub-fund separately. We have conducted our audit based on the books and records maintained by the administrator RBC Investor Services Ireland Limited at 4th Floor, One George’s Quay Plaza, George’s Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Other information The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of directors As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and otherwise comply with the Companies Act 2014, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for 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 the directors 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. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (Ireland), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or

error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Page 29: UCITS Annual Report - calamos.com

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates

and related disclosures made by the directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the entity (or where relevant, the group) to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the

disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that the auditor identifies during the audit. For listed entities and public interest entities, the auditor also provides those charged with governance with a statement that the auditor has complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, including the Ethical Standard for Auditors (Ireland) 2016, and communicates with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on the auditor’s independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. Where the auditor is required to report on key audit matters, from the matters communicated with those charged with governance, the auditor determines those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. The auditor describes these matters in the auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, the auditor determines that a matter should not be communicated in the auditor’s report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on other legal and regulatory requirements Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2014 Based solely on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, we report that: • We have obtained all the information and explanations which we consider necessary for the purposes of

our audit. • In our opinion the accounting records of the company were sufficient to permit the financial statements to

be readily and properly audited.

Page 30: UCITS Annual Report - calamos.com

• The financial statements are in agreement with the accounting records. • In our opinion the information given in the directors’ report is consistent with the financial statements and

the directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2014. Corporate Governance Statement required by the Companies Act 2014 We report, in relation to information given in the Corporate Governance Statement on pages 18 to 20 that:

• In our opinion, based on the work undertaken during the course of the audit, the information given in the Corporate Governance Statement pursuant to subsection 2(c) of section 1373 of the Companies Act 2014 is consistent with the company’s statutory financial statements in respect of the financial year concerned and such information has been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2014. Based on our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in this information.

• In our opinion, based on the work undertaken during the course of the audit, the Corporate Governance Statement contains the information required by Regulation 6(3) of the European Union (Disclosure of Non-Financial and Diversity Information by certain large undertakings and groups) Regulations 2017 (as amended); and

• In our opinion, based on the work undertaken during the course of the audit, the information required pursuant to section 1373(2)(a),(b),(e) and (f) of the Companies Act 2014 is contained in the Corporate Governance Statement.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception Based on the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the the directors’ report. The Companies Act 2014 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion, the company has not provided the information required by Regulation 5(2) to 5(7) of the European Union (Disclosure of Non-Financial and Diversity Information by certain large undertakings and groups) Regulations 2017 (as amended) for the financial year ended 31 December 2020. We have nothing to report in this regard. We have nothing to report in respect of the provisions in the Companies Act 2014 which require us to report to you if, in our opinion, the disclosures of directors’ remuneration and transactions specified by law are not made. Other matters which we are required to address We were appointed by the Board on 1 January 2011 to audit the financial statements for the financial year end 31 December 2011 and subsequent financial periods. The period of total uninterrupted engagement including previous renewals and reappointments of the firm is 10 years, covering the years ending 31 December 2011 to 31 December 2020. The non-audit services prohibited by IAASA’s Ethical Standard were not provided and we remained independent of the company in conducting the audit. Our audit opinion is consistent with the additional report to the audit committee we are required to provide in accordance with ISA (Ireland) 260.

Introduction

This update provides a review of the performance of the Atlantic House Defined Returns Fund for the calendar year 2020. It

also aims to inform investors of the outlook for the Fund.

The Fund’s objective is to achieve an annualised return of 7-8% p.a. over the medium to long-term and should do so in anything

but the bleakest of market conditions. It is not necessarily aiming to outperform equity markets, although this could be a

by-product. Note that we will refer to the underlying markets in this report, but this is with the intention to provide investors

with colour and context to the Fund’s performance across a range of scenarios.

Performance Review

If you had decided to hibernate for a year on 31 December 2019 and then looked at the annual performance of the Fund when

you woke up, you would probably have had a tough time understanding the challenging environment you had slept through and

an even tougher time trying to figure out what markets had done over 2020. However, if into your hibernation cave you had

taken our December 2019 factsheet, which included the Fund’s forward looking scenario analysis table, we have three

observations. Firstly, you are probably a bit odd. Secondly, with hindsight, hibernation would have been a great shout. And

thirdly, even if the rest of the world made no sense, you could have made a reasonably accurate estimate as to where markets

ended up.

What Did We Predict the Fund Would Do?

Our scenario analysis tables are formed from our proprietary derivative pricing models. They give an indication, at a specific

point in time, as to how the Fund is likely to perform over different time periods for different market movements. It is important

to remember that while they have proved to be broadly accurate since we launched the Fund over 7 years ago, they are estimates

not guarantees and, in any case, we would ask investors to allow a margin of error around 3-4%. We do believe they are useful

to help understand whether the Fund is on target to meet its objective and to help make decisions about how to use the Fund

within your own portfolios to meet longer-term objectives.

This is what the table produced at the end of 2019 showed:

Market Move -20% -10% 0%

(flat markets)

+10% +20%

3 months -13.11% -4.19% 1.63% 3.76% +5.01%

1 year -9.10% 0.28% 6.26% 8.75% +10.23%

2 years -2.98% 7.02% 12.85% 14.94% +15.86%

3 years 5.57% 15.59% 20.20% 21.54% +22.27%

4 years 16.69% 22.57% 25.10% 25.79% +25.99%

Source: Bloomberg, Atlantic House as at 31 December 2019.

As you can see, if the equity markets to which the Fund was exposed ended 2020 at the same levels they had ended 2019, the

Fund would have increased in value by approximately 6.26%.

How Did That Compare to Actual Performance Over the Year?

Now for the actual numbers. The Fund ended 2020 almost flat on the year – falling by just 0.14%. Of course, the journey was

not smooth, but would our hibernating investor have been able to make an educated guess at how broad equity markets fared

over the year based on the Fund performance? We think so. Putting the -0.14% Fund performance into the context of the

scenario analysis in the table above, you would expect the investor to guess that the markets to which the Fund was exposed had

fallen by slightly more than -10% on average. (At -10%, we predicted the Fund would have risen by 0.28% as per the table). In

Page 33: UCITS Annual Report - calamos.com

fact, the weighted average fall of the markets we had exposure to was -11.71% (see details at the end of this document), so the

fall of 0.14% is entirely in keeping with the prediction, albeit the actual performance was probably slightly better than

estimated.

Was the scenario analysis table similarly useful over the final quarter of 2020? The September 2020 table is shown below.

Scenario Analysis Table as at 30 September 2020:

Market Move -20% -10% 0% +10% +20%

3 months -21.29% -8.75% 1.57% 9.05% 13.53%

1 year -19.39% -5.79% 5.49% 13.57% 18.48%

2 years -16.18% -0.36% 12.40% 21.21% 26.19%

3 years -15.78% 13.17% 22.66% 29.12% 32.29%

4 years -18.27% 17.80% 32.12% 34.82% 35.95%

Source: Bloomberg, Atlantic House

Over the final three months of 2020 the Fund rose just over 7% compared with the three major markets to which it was exposed

rising between 10% and 12%. One might have expected the Fund to rise somewhere between 9% and 10% therefore based on

the table above, so that actual performance undershot the estimate by 2% to 3%. We are comfortable with this difference for two

reasons. Firstly, we always make it clear that these tables are estimates and ask investors for 3% to 4% leeway as a general rule.

Secondly, we can almost always quantify why the table undershoots or overshoots. In this case, it is mainly because dividend

expectations on the UK and European markets increased significantly in the fourth quarter of 2020, which have a negative

short-term impact on the value of the investments in the Fund.

Outlook

Finally, at the risk of scenario analysis table overload, you can see below what we are predicting for 2021:

Scenario Analysis Table as at 31 December 2020:

Average Market

Move

-20% -10% 0% +10% +20%

3 months -17.55% -6.56% 1.83% 7.19% 9.77%

1 year -14.50% -2.67% 6.19% 11.76% 14.38%

2 years -9.33% 4.53% 13.81% 18.98% 21.09%

3 years 5.06% 16.34% 22.30% 25.38% 26.61%

4 years 8.42% 22.68% 25.36% 26.57% 26.85%

Source: Bloomberg, Atlantic House

As we have discussed, the scenario analysis tables give an investor a good idea of how the Fund might perform over the short

and medium-term. However, it is always worth finishing by highlighting how the Fund’s investments are positioned relative to

the barrier levels of the worst performing index that we have exposure to, which determines the final returns of those

investments. The chart overleaf is an illustration.

Past performance is not a guide to future returns.

Importantly, it shows that every investment in the Fund has some degree of protection to both capital and positive return

barriers, which means that the Fund remains on target to hit its long-term annualised return targets of 7% to 8%. We are

therefore comfortable with the Fund’s current investments. We will continue using our scenario analysis tables to help investors

plan how they will use the Fund with their own portfolios, and to manage performance expectations.

Summary

2020 was a year that I imagine very few, if any of us, would like to see repeated. The Fund was tested like it has never been

tested before given the speed of the market fall in March and the rapid increase in volatility. Throughout the year we kept

investors updated about performance and what to expect, and the scenario analysis tables that we have used since the Fund’s

inception over 7 years ago, we believe, are one of the main reasons that the vast majority of investors stuck with the Fund

through the March nadir. Those investors have been rewarded with broadly predictable Fund performance when measured

against the scenario analysis tables produced in December 2019, and we hope 2021 will be more boring than 2020 from an

intra-year Fund performance point of view, more boring from a public health point of view, but more interesting from a “living”

point of view.

Calculating the Weighted Average Performance of the Markets

The chart below shows how the weighted average performance to the major markets to which the Fund is exposed - the UK,

European and US markets. It shows that UK market was down 14%, the European market was down 5% and the US market was

up 16% over the year. During 2020, approximately 85% of the Fund’s short-term equity sensitivity was to the UK market,

approximately 9% to Europe, approximately 4% to the US, with the remaining exposure to other markets. To estimate the

approximate “weighted average move” of the three major markets the Fund was exposed to, we could perform the calculation

illustrated in the table below:

The US market ended 2020 on yet another high, extending the disconnect between the roughly 5 million Americans who are out

of a job and Wall Street. Still, there are reasons to be optimistic in the US. A government controlled by ‘pro-stimulus’

democrats are determined to get through the crisis by any means necessary. The next stage of fiscal intervention will likely

sustain the US economy until a vaccine has enough penetration to make a difference to everyday life, and by extension, allow

corporate profits to recover.

If we look past the immediate fiscal spend from Congress, the short-term threat of tax hikes is relatively low. Democrats know

the importance of holding onto both houses of Congress. The mid-term elections in 2022 set the first test of whether a polarised

nation will allow one party to dictate policy and spending. Therefore, tax increases – a fear for investors and a direct threat to

companies' bottom lines will likely be pushed out past this milestone. Even after this, the ability for the government to raise

taxes will depend on the strength of the economic recovery.

Even though the US market is sitting at all time highs, this does not necessarily mean that it is an area to avoid. There have only

been 4 years since 1872 where the US market has posted a negative annual return after closing at an all time high. The most

recent occasion being back in 1977*. Turning to the present, the first quarter of 2021, the virus is likely to remain the focus for

investors. Although markets can likely look past the rising case rate, and number of deaths, any data suggesting that the vaccine

rollout will take longer than expected is likely to weigh on investor sentiment. Should the vaccination process be quicker than

planned, more inflation sensitive sectors such as financials, housing and consumer staples are likely to outperform.

As existing investors know, the Fund does not take sector specific views given how difficult it is to time correctly the switch

between them. Instead, it aims to optimise returns within a wide range of overall market outcomes. Despite the recent rally, the

US market is still trading between the upper and lower bound of the range the investments within the Fund are targeting,

although the market is close to the upper bound for some for the shorter-dated investments. This phenomenon causes the

performance of the Fund to lag the market in the short-term, a theme that continued in December with the Fund rising 0.64%

compared to the benchmark that rose 1.71%. Over the calendar year the Fund lagged its benchmark by 6%, most of this

underperformance coming in the second half of the year, However, this short-term lag should lead to greater outperformance in

the medium to longer term if markets stay within the range the Fund is targeting. We are therefore hopeful that the first half of

2021 could be a positive one for the Fund relative to markets.

Market Review

The first half of 2020 was one of the most volatile on record. At the beginning of the year COVID-19 was an isolated breakout

in only a handful of provinces in China. The spread of the virus, and subsequent impact on the economy is on a scale not seen

in living memory. What makes this crisis different from the last is important to understand. No major investment bank has

seemed to be on the brink of bankruptcy. The policies put in place to limit leverage in the financial system, for the most part,

have worked. The real time realisation of the effects on lockdown from policy makers has been an important parallel to draw

compared to the last crisis. The global economy has seen coordinated action from both monetary and fiscal policy makers. This

coordination may have reduced the stress in the system, but the consequences of the same policies will remain in the long term.

Those being inflation, and the disparity of wealth between those with and without financial assets.

The second half of 2020 focused investors' minds away from ‘the virus’ and towards ‘the recovery’. The scale and speed of both

monetary and fiscal policy, no doubt fuelling the risk on sentiment. Many equity markets finished the year higher than they

started, the dislocation from investment fundamentals an omnipresent fear for many investors who are familiar with more

conventional methods of investment valuation. September saw a vaccine announcement from many of the world’s largest

pharmaceutical companies, a gargantuan task, and the fastest vaccine on record. This allowed investors to focus their minds on

the ‘unlocking’ and a return to some sense of normality in the future. This rally across equities, credit and commodities saw

inflation come back to the front of asset owners’ minds, as long end interest rates began to rise in anticipation of cheap money

finally being felt.

Performance Review

The Sub-Fund’s portfolio went into the crisis with a defensive stance, using optionality to provide efficient exposure to several

Asian markets. As financial markets began to fall the team was able to use several tools to mitigate portfolio risk, namely equity

options and foreign exchange contracts. Several legacy positions in the Sub-Fund, focussed on volatility of equity market

indices and single stocks delivered strong return in the crisis and all the measures which were taken led to a maximum

drawdown of only 10%. As policy makers began to act the team was quick to realise the potential effect on financial assets of

unprecedented levels of stimulus. The Sub-Fund capitalised on opportunities in equities and credit to deliver a strong rebound

from the lows in March.

The Sub-Fund’s portfolio changed significantly over the second half of the year. The Sub-Fund’s portfolio began to embrace

defined return investments as a defensive expression of equity exposure. The prescriptive nature of these investments suits the

Sub-Fund’s target of achieving a cash +4% pa return. Elsewhere the Sub-Fund added to credit exposure, benefitting from the

strong rally in credit spreads back to the tight levels last seen at the end of 2019. The overall duration of the portfolio is short,

therefore mitigating the effect of rising interest rates whilst maintaining an attractive risk adjusted return. Finally, long volatility

exposure was added via both options and dispersion trades to protect the portfolio against any significant rises in equity

volatility. All the Sub-Fund’s building blocks posted positive returns in the latter half of 2020, which was particularly pleasing

to see.

Outlook

The outlook for the first half of 2021 and beyond is predicated on the ability for governments to deliver the vaccine in a timely

and efficient manner. Equity and credit markets have come a long way in anticipation of a return to ‘normal’, but the reality is

that the road to normality is unlikely to be straight and without bumps along the way. The Sub-Fund’s portfolio is set up to

manage this by defensive implementation of the team’s equity views, the long volatility portfolio to protect against any

significant drawdowns in the short term and an allocation to inflation protection assets to maintain the real value of the Sub-

Fund’s assets. All combined, the Sub-Fund is well placed to achieve its objective.

Market highlights

Covid19 and the economic effects of measures taken to prevent its spread dominated returns through 2020. Some sectors, such

as airlines, travel, and hospitality, felt the negative effects very keenly. Others, such as those including online distribution

platforms and similar technology firms benefited from the forced change in consumer habits. The initial effect on the global

economy was a sharp contraction. As the measures took effect and the virus slowed, markets recovered.

The consequences of these measures on markets manifested as a sharp fall, followed by a partial recovery, which continued

through the second half of the year. In GBP, the currency of the A Class shares, the US S&P500 finished the first half up 2% and

the year up by 12%. European markets were down 8% in the first half but recovered to post a full year return of 1%. Asia Pacific

markets were down 4% in the first half but ended the year up by 10%.

The UK market was hit hard, market sentiment reflecting additional concerns around Brexit. Returns for the first half were

-18%. While there was some recovery in the second half, full year returns were -14%.

Overall, in GBP and on a market-weighted basis, world developed markets delivered a full year return of 12%.

Looking at the market’s factor returns, beginning with value vs growth. The first half saw value sharply underperforming

growth, by over 30% in the US and by over 17% elsewhere. The second half saw some recovery in the US but further

underperformance for the rest of the world. The full year’s figures were a 32% underperformance in the US and 21%

underperformance for other developed markets.

These stark returns differences were driven by extraordinary market conditions, which had a polarising effect on different

segments of the market and forced governments to pursue extreme levels of monetary stimulus. The result has been to further

widen the spread between value and growth companies.

For the full year there was better news for small companies against their larger cohort. While the US was flat, i.e. small

companies returned much the same as large, there was a 7% outperformance in small companies in non-US developed markets.

In the first half, US small companies underperformed large by 10% but outperformed by 12% in the second half. In non-US

markets, small companies underperformed by just shy of 2% in the first half and outperformed by 12% in the second half.

Fund performance review (in GBP)

For the 6 months to 30 June 2020.

GSI Global Sustainable Value Fund: -3.26%

Solactive Developed Mkt Large/Mid Index (Net): 0.99%

For the 6 months to 31 December 2020.

GSI Global Sustainable Value Fund: 9.81%

Solactive Developed Mkt Large/Mid Index (Net): 11.03%

For the full year to 31 December 2020.

GSI Global Sustainable Value Fund: 6.23%

Solactive Developed Mkt Large/Mid Index (Net): 12.13%

The GSI Global Sustainable Value Fund (the Sub-Fund) has two key features that, in the longer term, we expect to generate

higher returns compared to market-weighted broad global equity indices: (i) it has greater diversification at the stock and sector

levels; and (ii) it tilts towards value stocks based on a blend of value metrics and small companies based on market

capitalisation.

Over the 12 month period, value companies significantly underperformed their growth counterparts in both US and non-US

markets. Small companies outperformed large firms in non-US markets but had similar return in the US. Despite some smaller

companies outperforming, a greater exposure to value companies resulted in underperformance against the overall market.

Outlook

The economic effects of lockdown around the world are beginning to manifest. Global growth has slowed and some parts of the

economy, such as high street businesses, have been pushed to the edge and beyond. Uncertainty remains. When will

governments relax their lockdown measures? Or will fears of the virus force them to keep them in place? Importantly, what will

the final bill be and how will it be paid?

At GSI, we continue to believe that the purpose of equity market investment is to gain equity risk exposure. The expectation is

that, over the long-term, this risk is rewarded by positive returns. In the short-term, equity returns can be negative, sometimes

very negative. However, research shows that trying to time markets is futile and costly. Therefore, for equity investors, it is

better to take a disciplined, long-term view and employ well-diversified, low-turnover investments.

We also believe that we can provide our clients with a successful investment experience that includes the management of

environmental, social, and governance issues. Despite recent market conditions, we have remained true to our investment

beliefs and will continue to do so going forward.

The GSI Global Sustainable Value Fund remains well diversified across markets, sectors, and stocks and we remain confident

that the Fund is well positioned to perform to expectations through the next 6 months.

Market Review

The year began with optimism over a reacceleration of global growth after a tariff-induced slowdown in 2019. However, the

macroeconomic environment swiftly changed towards the end of February as the Covid-19 outbreak spread from China to the

rest of the world. The fear of the virus was compounded by expectations of a severe economic contraction and potential

corporate and consumer defaults as the lockdown came into effect, leading to a steeper fall in risk markets in April than even

during the financial crash in 2008/09. As equities dropped all assets followed. Credit spreads to government debt (i.e. yields

relative to government bonds) widened to 2-year highs, and prices fell.

The outlook turned positive as we approached May after the official support measures provided liquidity and direct assistance

to companies and consumers. This alleviated the concerns over their widespread collapse. Central Banks cut interest rates,

re-started asset purchases and pumped in massive liquidity into banks to safeguard the flow of credit to consumers and

companies. Fiscal tools are also lessening the burden on companies and individuals. This stimuli across the 4 major economies

amounted to over 25% of GDP, with the promise of more to come. The aim was to ensure we get a quick and sharp recovery as

the lockdowns end.

The lockdowns brought key parts of the economy to a standstill, as borne out by economic indicators that registered record low

levels of activity. In May, sentiment was further boosted by signs that the virus had peaked in Europe, an easing of European

lockdown conditions, and the French-German proposal to launch a €0.75tr Pandemic Recovery Fund, financed for the first time

by commonly-issued EU debt. Risk markets continued to rally through most of the year whilst government bonds held steady.

The Fed and other major Central Banks re-iterated they are absolutely committed to low rates and asset purchases, concrete data

pointing at a decent rebound in activity and a further fall in volatility.

Corporate earnings for the second half of the year were relatively upbeat, generally beating analysts’ revenue expectations.

Although the health crisis remains central to market prospects, sentiment was helped further by the US Federal Reserve making

clear its view that we are a long way from celebrating a return to normal. Fed Chair Powell indicated that medium-term policy

would be comprised of interest rates being set lower for longer and the Fed would tolerate periods of inflation being in excess

of the official 2% target rate.

After a few months of seeing virus infections under control, the final quarter of the year saw a reasonably rapid spreading,

particularly in the developed nations, which led to further sporadic mini-lockdowns. In early November, good news fuelled a

new burst of enthusiasm for the markets, with the early release of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine that claimed a high level of

efficacy. At roughly the same time the US presidential elections saw Joe Biden as the victor, thereby ending a volatile term

under President Trump. This boosted hopes of an earlier return to some form of normality in 2021 helping to rekindle consumer

demand. As the year closed however, Europe reintroduced restrictions and lockdowns and it now remains to be seen how much

of 2020’s lost GDP can be recouped in 2021.

Performance Review

The USD X-share class returned 5.77% over the year, comfortably above the benchmark return.

2020 was a year split into two distinct parts: the first 5 months evidenced extreme market moves that saw credit markets under

quite some pressure, while the remainder of the year responded to the huge measures announced by the authorities and

delivered strong market returns. Despite a large portion of the Fund being allocated to very high-grade credit, the first half of the

year recorded a broadly flat return because all forms of credit saw valuations undermined. The second half witnessed record

amounts of corporate debt issued, which was met by very strong investor demand; this took credit spreads sharply narrower,

resulting in capital prices moving higher. These moves benefited the asset allocation of the Fund, and opportunities were taken

to switch some lower-yielding holdings into some lower rated credits to capture the rally in the market. This involved investing

Investment Manager’s Report

in some subordinated corporate and financial debt, both of which were among the strongest performing sectors in the fixed

income universe, while maintaining the Fund’s average rating in investment grade territory.

Tactical positioning was taken in exchange-traded derivatives, most notably during March and April to control the Fund’s

volatility during the testing times for the global markets.

Outlook

After what turned out to be a tumultuous year for the global economy, many of the dynamics that drive asset market pricing

have had to be adjusted. Most notable is the sheer amount of government debt that has built up in each developed nation, and the

equally forceful asset purchase programmes implemented by leading central banks. Of high importance is the response

mechanism for key economic sectors such as leisure and retail which have been the principal casualties of the pandemic. The

higher rates of unemployment will no doubt act as a drag to any meaningful return to normality in economic growth for at least

the first half of 2021, and this in turn will hold back a sustained rise in inflation. This backdrop should continue to be

supportive of very low official interest rates as well as government bond yields well into 2022. Large businesses’ balance sheets

look more stable now than 6 months ago, partly because of sizeable cash balances and lower borrowing costs. This provides for

an improving outlook for corporate and financial debt for 2021, areas that are important for the Fund’s positioning. As

borrowing costs continue to improve for companies this should be reflected in some capital uplift on top of the Fund’s income

yield.

Market Review

The year began with optimism over a reacceleration of global growth after a tariff-induced slowdown in 2019. However, the

macroeconomic environment swiftly changed towards the end of February as the Covid-19 outbreak spread from China to the

rest of the world. The fear of the virus was compounded by expectations of a severe economic contraction and potential

corporate and consumer defaults as the lockdown came into effect, leading to a steeper fall in risk markets in April than even

during the financial crash in 2008/09. As equities dropped all assets followed. Credit spreads to government debt (i.e. yields

relative to government bonds) widened to 2-year highs, and prices fell.

The outlook turned positive as we approached May after the official support measures provided liquidity and direct assistance

to companies and consumers. This alleviated the concerns over their widespread collapse. Central Banks cut interest rates,

re-started asset purchases and pumped in massive liquidity into banks to safeguard the flow of credit to consumers and

companies. Fiscal tools are also lessening the burden on companies and individuals. This stimuli across the 4 major economies

amounted to over 25% of GDP, with the promise of more to come. The aim was to ensure we get a quick and sharp recovery as

the lockdowns end.

The lockdowns brought key parts of the economy to a standstill, as borne out by economic indicators that registered record low

levels of activity. In May, sentiment was further boosted by signs that the virus had peaked in Europe, an easing of European

lockdown conditions, and the French-German proposal to launch a €0.75tr Pandemic Recovery Fund, financed for the first time

by commonly-issued EU debt. Risk markets continued to rally through most of the year whilst government bonds held steady.

The Fed and other major Central Banks re-iterated they are absolutely committed to low rates and asset purchases, concrete data

pointing at a decent rebound in activity and a further fall in volatility.

Corporate earnings for the second half of the year were relatively upbeat, generally beating analysts’ revenue expectations.

Although the health crisis remains central to market prospects, sentiment was helped further by the US Federal Reserve making

clear its view that we are a long way from celebrating a return to normal. Fed Chair Powell indicated that medium-term policy

would be comprised of interest rates being set lower for longer and the Fed would tolerate periods of inflation being in excess

of the official 2% target rate.

After a few months of seeing virus infections under control, the final quarter of the year saw a reasonably rapid spreading,

particularly in the developed nations, which led to further sporadic mini-lockdowns. In early November, good news fuelled a

new burst of enthusiasm for the markets, with the early release of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine that claimed a high level of

efficacy. At roughly the same time the US presidential elections saw Joe Biden as the victor, thereby ending a volatile term

under President Trump. This boosted hopes of an earlier return to some form of normality in 2021 helping to rekindle consumer

demand. As the year closed however, Europe reintroduced restrictions and lockdowns and it now remains to be seen how much

of 2020’s lost GDP can be recouped in 2021.

Performance Review

The USD X-share class returned 4.95% over the year, comfortably above the benchmark return.

2020 was a year split into two distinct parts: the first 5 months evidenced extreme market moves that saw credit markets under

quite some pressure, while the remainder of the year responded to the huge measures announced by the authorities and

delivered strong market returns. Despite a significant portion of the Fund being allocated to very high-grade credit, the first half

of the year recorded a broadly flat return because all forms of credit saw valuations undermined. The second half witnessed

record amounts of corporate debt issued, which was met by very strong investor demand; this took credit spreads sharply

narrower, resulting in capital prices moving higher. These moves benefited the asset allocation of the Fund, and opportunities

were taken to switch some lower-yielding holdings into some lower rated credits to capture the rally in the market. This

involved investing in some subordinated corporate and financial debt, both of which were among the strongest performing

sectors in the fixed income universe, while maintaining the Fund’s average rating in investment grade territory.

Tactical positioning was taken in exchange-traded derivatives, most notably during March and April to control the Fund’s

volatility during the testing times for the global markets.

Outlook

After what turned out to be a tumultuous year for the global economy, many of the dynamics that drive asset market pricing

have had to be adjusted. Most notable is the sheer amount of government debt that has built up in each developed nation, and the

equally forceful asset purchase programmes implemented by leading central banks. Of high importance is the response

mechanism for key economic sectors such as leisure and retail which have been the principal casualties of the pandemic. The

higher rates of unemployment will no doubt act as a drag to any meaningful return to normality in economic growth for at least

the first half of 2021, and this in turn will hold back a sustained rise in inflation. This backdrop should continue to be supportive

of very low official interest rates as well as government bond yields well into 2022. Large businesses’ balance sheets look more

stable now than 6 months ago, partly because of sizeable cash balances and lower borrowing costs. This provides for an

improving outlook for corporate and financial debt for 2021, areas that are important for the Fund’s positioning. As borrowing

costs continue to improve for companies this should be reflected in some capital uplift on top of the Fund’s income yield.

Benchmark N/A

THE FUND WAS CLOSED AS OF 28TH AUGUST 2020

Market Review

1H20 experienced the fastest equity market crush in history. The S&P Index hit it’s all time high on February 19 as most leading

indicators in developed markets seemed to point out to stabilisation in manufacturing (declines decelerating) and labour

markets and consumption remained very resilient despite shocking news-flow about Covid-19 coming out of China. Over the

following 4 weeks, most of the main world indices slumped 30% or more, just as it gradually became clear that the world was

facing a global pandemic and the virus would not be contained to Asia this time around. The Chinese manufacturing base

bottomed at 30% capacity utilisation in February and severe disruptions to global logistics left virtually no sector fully immune.

Most of Continental Europe, beginning with Italy, copied developed Asia’s severe social separation policies to bring countries

into effective lockdowns from early March. Some US states followed on March 16 and the UK on March 24.

The impact of lockdowns on the global economy could not be overestimated. By June, the World Bank brought its estimates for

global 2020 GDP decline down to 5.2% (IMF were just marginally more optimistic at -4.9%), the deepest recession since the

World War II and affecting the largest number of countries since 1870. The leisure industry (in particular, tourism which

accounts for over 10% of global GDP) took the biggest hit as travel, dining out, attending fitness clubs etc. had been forbidden.

Discretionary retail came second most under pressure as store networks were partially or fully closed for most of 1Q20 in Asia

and most of 2Q20 everywhere else. As people stopped driving, the energy market also came under pressure, the OPEC cartel

broke down and the combined power of demand and supply shock sent the price of oil to $20/barrel, the lowest since 2002,

down from $60 at the beginning of the year. Real estate funds faced skyrocketing vacancy rates in retail and office assets.

Buybacks have been universally scrapped, dividends cut or cancelled, and a huge amount of bonds issued as the private sector

focused all attention on protecting liquidity on the balance sheets.

The sell-off was not indiscriminate and there were sectors that actually benefitted from the pandemic. The sudden shift to

working from home gave boost to both IT software and hardware sector (including cloud computing). Personal hygiene and

long-shelf-life foods producers recorded organic growth rates unseen for decades on pantry stocking and telecommunication

services became ‘basic necessities’. The health care sector came to the fore as it entered the race to bring the first/best vaccine

to the market.

There was no stability on the social and political front either. China-US relations have been gradually deteriorating with

China’s aggressive stance towards Hong Kong. Iran pulled back from the 2015 nuclear accord following assassination of Gen.

Soleimani. South-North Korea relations having been worsening. The UK government decided to pursue a hard Brexit scenario.

Despite the pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement mobilised millions in demonstrations around the world. This,

combined with President Trump’s ignorant attitude towards the virus and the US unemployment rate peaking at the all-time-

high 14.5% in April, swung the odds for the autumn elections firmly in favour of the Democratic candidate Joe Biden.

Faced with an unprecedented crisis, the governments around the world responded with unprecedented counter measures

bringing about the biggest monetary and fiscal stimulus since the Great Depression. The US delivered two emergency interest

rate cuts (total 150bp to 0.25%), UK cut by 65bp to 0.1% and ECB went to -75bp. The EU and US central banks stood ready to

buy almost unlimited amounts of government and corporate bonds to provide liquidity to financial markets as and when

required. Overall world governments pledged $10tn (or >11% of global GDP) worth of rescue packages with measures ranging

from tax cuts and public investments all the way to direct subsidies to small and medium enterprises and furloughed employees

within 2 months of the outbreak.

These measures were deemed adequate by the equity markets which bottomed on 23 March and from then on staged an equally

unprecedented rally led by cyclical sectors as economies started gradual reopening. Consumer and business confidence was

further boosted by the decline in new cases globally, lower mortality rates (a combination of new available treatments, better

hospital care of both related and not related illnesses, mass testing and, possibly, warmer weather in the northern hemisphere)

and breakthroughs in terms of vaccine development and scalability. The equity market rally was accompanied by liquidity-

driven narrowing of credit spreads, a rally in junk and periphery and emerging markets sovereign bonds as well as the US

Dollar’s depreciation (with the latter especially supportive to the materials sector). By the end of June, global indices had

recovered most of the declines and Nasdaq broke out to a new all-time high.

In July, equity markets continued to rebound as expectations built of a return to normality being in sight with the hope of the

harshest impacts of the pandemic having past.

Performance Review

The Defensive Fund was down c.2.6% in the first seven months of the year. The use of market hedging allowed shelter against

the large drawdowns in markets in February and March.

The Benchmark was still under review when the Fund closed in July.

The Fund was closed as it was deemed sub-optimal in terms of size compared to expense and no longer necessary for London

and Capital clients given the recent launch of the Multi-Asset funds. Clients were migrated to other L&C UCITS funds.

Outlook

Not Applicable – the fund has been closed.

Market Review

The first half of 2020 witnessed unprecedented market moves. Following the fastest bear market decline in history of the

S&P500 index we witnessed the strongest 50-day recovery in the history of the S&P 500.

After starting the year off on a relatively sound footing with the US equity market rallying hitting a peak at 3393, the narrative

became quite complacent with strong retail flows suggesting that “FOMO”, fear of missing out, had become a primary driver of

market strength. This narrative started to crack towards the end of January where the market previously impervious to news of

the corona virus outbreak in Wuhan China started taking notice, as the expansion grew in particularly in South Korea, Iran,

Japan and Italy. This occurred alongside a poor reading from the US Non-Manufacturing PMI which suggested a surprise fall

into contractionary territory for the historically buoyant services sector.

During March we saw an acceleration of panic selling across all asset classes magnified by technical factors with respect to

hedging flows and algorithmic (CTA/Risk Parity) trading. These factors led to a month of enormous volatility, with the US

equity market closing up or down greater than 4% on 60% of trading days.

US equity markets didn’t seem to notice the rapid pace of infections across Europe. However, once outbreaks moved to the US,

western equity markets struggled to price in this “left tail” exogenous event. Credit markets began to seize and central banks

globally and especially the Fed, moved aggressively throughout March to blitz markets with a flood of liquidity as several

critical lending channels froze. Meanwhile these troubles were compounded by an oil supply war as Saudi Arabia and Russia

decided to aggressively ramp output.

The virus response measures from governments and companies started slowly, but by the end of March the majority of the US

was under some type of “shelter in place” restriction and the world had unleashed an avalanche of stimulus measures unrivalled

in history. Very few companies were providing formal guidance at this point given the extremely fluid business environment.

However, the qualitative commentary from nearly everyone was cautious, with most anticipating COVID-19 headwinds

intensifying in Q2 vs. Q1.

Two big stimulus announcements arrived toward the end of May when the European Commission unveiled an €750bn recovery

initiative that would raise money on behalf of the EU while Japan pledged to nearly double its COVID fiscal response (to an

astounding ~40% of GDP).

In August the Federal Reserve adopted a monumental (but widely expected) policy shift, during his Jackson Hole address

Powell formally announced a Fed target of average inflation rate of 2% (vs. the prior discrete target) abandoning the link

between unemployment and inflation. The Fed will now have a tough job convincing markets it can engineer inflation above

2% when it struggled to maintain this target prior to the crisis.

November was dominated by the outcome of the US election and positive COVID vaccine developments from Pfizer, Moderna

and AstraZeneca/Oxford spurring the normalization trade reflected by the cyclicals and value groups outperforming growth

stocks by about 4%. Equities saw significant gains during the month of November with the US index up 10%-plus while the

equal-weighted US benchmark outperformed by about 300bps.

Meanwhile US President-elect Biden’s relationship with the market started on a positive footing as he appointed former Fed

chair Janet Yellen as Treasury Secretary, as well as favouring to put more focus on fiscal stimulus instead of tax hikes.

Performance Review

Fixed Income

2020 was a year split into two distinct parts: the first 5 months evidenced extreme market moves that saw credit markets under

quite some pressure, while the remainder of the year responded to the huge measures announced by the authorities and

delivered strong market returns. A larger-than-normal allocation of the Fund was held in very high-grade credit during the

second quarter of the year, primarily to reduce the volatility of the Fund during those testing times. The second half witnessed

record amounts of corporate debt issued, which was met by very strong investor demand; this took credit spreads sharply

narrower, resulting in capital prices moving higher. These moves benefited the asset allocation of the Fund, and opportunities

were taken to switch these lower-yielding holdings into some lower rated credits to capture the rally in the market. This

involved investing in some subordinated corporate and financial debt, both of which were among the strongest performing

sectors in the fixed income universe.

Tactical positioning was taken in exchange-traded derivatives, most notably during March and April to control the allocation’s

volatility during the testing times for the global markets.

Equities

During the first half of the year, there was a bifurcation in equity performance between stocks that have been Covid

19 beneficiaries and more traditional Cyclicals. We used the selloff in March to opportunistically add some quality names to

our fund, such as Align Technology, L'Oreal, Johnson & Johnson and Starbucks which became some of the biggest positive

performers in the Fund over H1. Equity performance has also been buoyed by work from home beneficiaries such as Microsoft

and Adobe.

In H2 we introduced ISRG and Twilio and we increased exposure to Emerging market equities and more broadly, we moved

our equity allocation higher. Over H2, the strongest portfolio performers were: Align Technology, TSMC, Uber, Twilio, UPS

and Disney.

Gold

Gold has performed strongly over the first half of the year reflecting its status as a beneficiary of the liquidity phenomenon as

fiscal support from Western Governments led to historically large budget deficits and concerns about excessive debt growth. As

sovereign yields in the US began rising in Q3/4, gold as expected became more range bound.

Outlook

After what turned out to be a tumultuous year for the global economy, many of the dynamics that drive asset market pricing

have had to be adjusted. Most notable is the sheer amount of government debt that has built up in each developed nation, and the

equally forceful asset purchase programmes implemented by leading central banks. Of high importance is the response

mechanism for key economic sectors such as leisure and retail which have been the principal casualties of the pandemic. The

higher rates of unemployment will no doubt act as a drag to any meaningful return to normality in economic growth for at least

the first half of 2021, and this in turn will hold back a sustained rise in inflation. This backdrop should continue to be supportive

of very low official interest rates as well as government bond yields well into 2022. Large businesses’ balance sheets look more

stable now than 6 months ago, partly because of sizeable cash balances and lower borrowing costs. This provides for an

improving outlook for corporate and financial debt for 2021, areas that are important for the Fund’s fixed income positioning.

The equity reflation narrative is supported by three core pillars (earnings, vaccines, and stimulus), and all are still in place.

Q4 2020 earnings reports are exceeding forecasts by a wide margin, creating upside risk to the 2021 and 2022 S&P500 EPS

consensus. The COVID outlook is improving on two fronts: transmissions/hospitalizations and vaccines. The holiday-season

infection surge is abating and states are easing lockdown restrictions. Meanwhile, the vaccination pace is accelerating and

should receive a massive boost if JNJ achieves EU approval. With regards to stimulus, the fiscal and monetary taps are wide

open, Biden has proposed $1.9T in fresh COVID stimulus and this is just the first part of his two-part plan (the second initiative

could be worth another $2T) we are keenly observing passage of the bill in the Senate given the slim majority. So far Powell has

emphatically defended the current policy framework of ZIRP(zero interest rate policy) and $120B purchases per month in QE,

with current equity valuations supported as long as rates stay capped and any rise occurring gradually. As the recovery gains

traction a key risk to monitor into 2021 will be the market reaction to any sign that we are approaching policy reversal.

Market Review

The year began with optimism over a reacceleration of global growth after a tariff-induced slowdown in 2019. However, the

macroeconomic environment swiftly changed towards the end of February as the Covid-19 outbreak spread from China to the

rest of the world. The fear of the virus was compounded by expectations of a severe economic contraction and potential

corporate and consumer defaults as the lockdown came into effect, leading to a steeper fall in risk markets in April than even

during the financial crash in 2008/09. As equities dropped all assets followed. Credit spreads to government debt (i.e. yields

relative to government bonds) widened to 2-year highs, and prices fell.

The outlook turned positive as we approached May after the official support measures provided liquidity and direct assistance

to companies and consumers. This alleviated the concerns over their widespread collapse. Central Banks cut interest rates,

re-started asset purchases and pumped in massive liquidity into banks to safeguard the flow of credit to consumers and

companies. Fiscal tools are also lessening the burden on companies and individuals. This stimuli across the four major

economies amounted to over 25% of GDP, with the promise of more to come. The aim was to ensure we get a quick and sharp

recovery as the lockdowns end.

The lockdowns brought key parts of the economy to a standstill, as borne out by economic indicators that registered record low

levels of activity. In May, sentiment was further boosted by signs that the virus had peaked in Europe, an easing of European

lockdown conditions, and the French-German proposal to launch a €0.75tr Pandemic Recovery Fund, financed for the first time

by commonly-issued EU debt. Risk markets continued to rally through most of the year whilst government bonds held steady.

The Fed and other major Central Banks re-iterated they are absolutely committed to low rates and asset purchases, concrete data

pointing at a decent rebound in activity and a further fall in volatility.

Corporate earnings for the second half of the year were relatively upbeat, generally beating analysts’ revenue expectations.

Although the health crisis remains central to market prospects, sentiment was helped further by the US Federal Reserve making

clear its view that we are a long way from celebrating a return to normal. Fed Chair Powell indicated that medium-term policy

would be comprise of interest rates being set lower for longer and the Fed would tolerate periods of inflation being in excess of

the official 2% target rate.

After a few months of seeing virus infections under control, the final quarter of the year saw a reasonably rapid spreading,

particularly in the developed nations, which led to further sporadic mini-lockdowns. In early November, good news fuelled a

new burst of enthusiasm for the markets, with the early release of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine that claimed a high level of

efficacy. At roughly the same time the US presidential elections saw Joe Biden as the victor, thereby ending a volatile term

under President Trump. This boosted hopes of an earlier return to some form of normality in 2021 helping to rekindle consumer

demand. As the year closed however, Europe reintroduced restrictions and lockdowns and it now remains to be seen how much

of 2020’s lost GDP can be recouped in 2021.

Performance Review

The USD X-share class returned 6.81% over the year, comfortably above the benchmark return.

2020 was a year split into two distinct parts: the first 5 months evidenced extreme market moves that saw credit markets under

quite some pressure, while the remainder of the year responded to the huge measures announced by the authorities and

delivered strong market returns. A larger-than-normal allocation of the Fund was held in very high-grade credit during the

second quarter of the year, primarily to reduce the volatility of the Fund during those testing times. The second half witnessed

record amounts of corporate debt issued, which was met by very strong investor demand; this took credit spreads sharply

narrower, resulting in capital prices moving higher. These moves benefited the asset allocation of the Fund, and opportunities

were taken to switch these lower-yielding holdings into some lower rated credits to capture the rally in the market. This

involved investing in some subordinated corporate and financial debt, both of which were among the strongest performing

sectors in the fixed income universe.

Tactical positioning was taken in exchange-traded derivatives, most notably during March and April to control the Fund’s

volatility during the testing times for the global markets.

Outlook

After what turned out to be a tumultuous year for the global economy, many of the dynamics that drive asset market pricing

have had to be adjusted. Most notable is the sheer amount of government debt that has built up in each developed nation, and the

equally forceful asset purchase programmes implemented by leading central banks. Of high importance is the response

mechanism for key economic sectors such as leisure and retail which have been the principal casualties of the pandemic. The

higher rates of unemployment will no doubt act as a drag to any meaningful return to normality in economic growth for at least

the first half of 2021, and this in turn will hold back a sustained rise in inflation. This backdrop should continue to be supportive

of very low official interest rates as well as government bond yields well into 2022. Large businesses’ balance sheets look more

stable now than 6 months ago, partly because of sizeable cash balances and lower borrowing costs. This provides for an

improving outlook for corporate and financial debt for 2021, areas that are important for the Fund’s positioning. As borrowing

costs continue to improve for companies this should be reflected in some capital uplift on top of the Fund’s income yield.

Market Review

2020 proved to be a very abnormal year for equities with the fastest and deepest stock market crash in history being followed by

the sharpest recovery in history. This, of course, was due to the unusually impact of a Global Pandemic on stock markets.

After starting the year off on a relatively sound footing with the US equity market rallying hitting a peak at 3393, the narrative

became quite complacent with strong retail flows suggesting that “FOMO” fear of missing out had become a primary driver of

market strength. This narrative started to crack on the 21st where the market previously immune to news of the outbreak in

Wuhan China started taking notice, as the expansion of non-China corona virus cases grew in particular within South Korea,

Iran, Japan and Italy. This occurred alongside a poor reading from the US Non-Manufacturing PMI which suggested a surprise

fall into contractionary territory for the historically buoyant services sector.

During March we saw an acceleration of panic selling across all asset classes magnified by technical factors with respect to

hedging flows and algorithmic (CTA/Risk Parity) trading. These factors led to a month of enormous volatility, with the US

equity market closing up or down greater than 4% on 60% of trading days.

The coronavirus spread throughout Asia in Jan and Feb, but US equity markets didn’t seem to notice. However, once outbreaks

occurred in Europe (starting in Italy) and moved to the US, western equity markets struggled to price in this left tail, exogenous

event. Credit markets began to seize and central banks globally and especially the Fed, moved aggressively throughout March

to blitz markets with a flood of liquidity as several critical lending channels froze. Meanwhile these troubles were compounded

by an oil supply war as Saudi Arabia and Russia decided to aggressively ramp output.

The virus response measures from governments and companies started slowly, but by the end of March the majority of the US

was under some type of “shelter in place” restriction and the world had unleashed an avalanche of stimulus measures unrivalled

in history. Very few companies were providing formal guidance at this point given the extremely fluid business environment.

However, the qualitative commentary from nearly everyone was cautious, with most anticipating COVID-19 headwinds

intensifying in Q2 vs. Q1.

Two big stimulus announcements arrived toward the end of May when the European Commission unveiled an EU750B

recovery initiative that would raise money on behalf of the EU while Japan pledged to nearly double its COVID fiscal response

(to an astounding ~40% of GDP).

In August the Federal Reserve adopted a monumental (but widely expected) policy shift, during his Jackson Hole address

Powell formally announced a Fed target of average inflation rate of 2% (vs. the prior discrete target) abandoning the link

between unemployment and inflation. The Fed will now have a tough job convincing markets it can engineer inflation above

2% when it struggled to maintain 2%.

November was dominated by the outcome of the US election and positive COVID vaccine developments from Pfizer, Moderna

and AstraZeneca/Oxford spurring the normalization trade reflected by the cyclicals and value groups outperforming growth by

about 4%. Equities saw significant gains during the month of November with the US index up 10%+ while the equal-weighted

US benchmark outperformed by about 300bps.

Meanwhile Biden’s relationship with the market is started on a positive footing as he appointed Yellen as Treasury Sec while

blocking Sanders and Warren from his cabinet while favouring to put more focus on fiscal stimulus instead of tax hikes.

December saw a continuation of the reflation narrative supported by three pillars 1) Stimulus– Congress decided to pursue a

piecemeal stimulus strategy, casting aside controversial topics and focusing instead on items for which there is a broad

consensus (the result is a bill worth ~$900B). Meanwhile, the Fed committed to a $120B/month QE pace (at least) until

“substantial” progress was achieved toward its inflation/employment goal. Meanwhile Powell went as far as defending the

equity valuation backdrop using spread measures by noting "Admittedly P/Es are high but that’s maybe not as relevant in a

world where we think the 10-year Treasury is going to be lower than it’s been historically from a return perspective,” 2)

Corporate earnings – For the most part corporate America continued to perform well bolstering the consensus SPX EPS

forecasts of circa $170 for ’21 and $195 for ’22 3) Vaccine progress – Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are being rolled out in the

US while JNJ (Single dose vaccine) could secure approval soon pending phase 3 data expected in January. The final few days

of December were anything but quiet as a Brexit agreement and surprise bank buybacks were announced while a mutant found

in the UK COVID strain which is more transmissible created a temporary headwind for risk assets. The COVID tug-of-war

between the grim near-term backdrop (surging cases, more mitigation measures) and the bright medium/long-term outlook

because of the vaccination process continues.

Performance Review

Global STAR has continued to participate in the market advancement despite the defensive bias. The more economically

sensitive stocks outperformed but the defensive high-quality names declined.

Global STAR is concerned with longer term absolute returns and relative returns are not a focus. Therefore, we have zero focus

on an index or a tracking error and relative positioning. It is an equally weighted fund and has 35 holdings, which are in

Developed Europe and North American, so it bears little resemblance to the MSCI World.

However, what is important is enhanced resilience in times of market stress. We have delivered this consistency since the

strategy started and for the Fund if one looks back just to the March factsheet this is evident.

Since London & Capital started the strategy in 2010, the start of the current market cycle, the strategy has returned a better

return than the MSCI World. The Fund has only being going a shorter time, and despite fluctuations, in an upward market

environment with equity indices currently at all-time highs. However, even since then on a risk adjusted Sharpe Ratio Global

STAR shows a much better risk adjusted performance.

The strategy is all about longer term equity wealth creation.

Outlook

Moving into 2021, we expect stock market returns to be around the longer-term inflation adjusted historic average which is the

prevailing return after a period of strong recovery. However, there is the potential to see higher levels of volatility than an

average year as there is still a high level of uncertainty in terms of fiscal policy.

This is particularly important as the last decade for stock markets has been dominated by monetary policy as the central banks

actions have compressed yields significantly through low, zero or even negative interest rate policies and substantial amounts

of quantitative easing flooding markets. This has resulted in equity prices inflating through multiple expansion. A lot of this is

due to the cost of capital being suppressed which means bond yields have become very low and this boosts the multiple applied

to a unit profit or a unit of cash flow for stocks.

However, the impact central banks can now have on stock markets is more limited given that yields are likely to remain very

low and other monetary policy measures are likely to be less effective in boosting share prices than they have been in the last

10 years due to the law of diminishing returns and this is already evident from the experiences of Japan and Europe.

Essentially, this means that fiscal policy must take up the slack and fiscal policy for equities equates to a boost in earnings or

profits rather than multiple expansion. Despite the rise in equity markets over the last five years corporate profits have been

fairly stationary and the next leg, if stock markets are to progress from here, will need to be driven by innovative fiscal policy

as the global growth backdrop looks severely constrained due to much greater maturity of emerging markets, demographic

challenges and high levels of indebtedness.

Ultimately, this means that fiscal policy will be the driver of equity markets for the next decade and investors should expect

lower returns than the previous decade alongside the potential for higher volatility as central banks are no longer likely to be as

effective in suppressing volatility.

Given the historically high valuations, the wave of money creation, high debt levels, demographic and environmental

challenges etc., to name just a few of the longer-term issues, the focus will be very selective on stocks that have compounding

visible growth at a reasonable price and we aim to avoid the vulnerable sections of the market that could struggle due to the risk

of extended expectations, positioning and ongoing rotation.

Market Review

The first half of 2020 witnessed unprecedented market moves. Following the fastest bear market decline in history of the

S&P500 index we witnessed the strongest 50-day recovery in the history of the S&P 500.

After starting the year off on a relatively sound footing with the US equity market rallying hitting a peak at 3393, the narrative

became quite complacent with strong retail flows suggesting that “FOMO” fear of missing out had become a primary driver of

market strength. This narrative started to crack towards the end of January where the market previously impervious to news of

the corona virus outbreak in Wuhan China started taking notice, as the expansion grew in particularly in South Korea, Iran,

Japan and Italy. This occurred alongside a poor reading from the US Non-Manufacturing PMI which suggested a surprise fall

into contractionary territory for the historically buoyant services sector.

During March we saw an acceleration of panic selling across all asset classes magnified by technical factors with respect to

hedging flows and algorithmic (CTA/Risk Parity) trading. These factors led to a month of enormous volatility, with the US

equity market closing up or down greater than 4% on 60% of trading days.

US equity markets didn’t seem to notice the rapid pace of infections across Europe. However, once outbreaks moved to the US,

western equity markets struggled to price in this “left tail” exogenous event. Credit markets began to seize and central banks

globally and especially the Fed, moved aggressively throughout March to blitz markets with a flood of liquidity as several

critical lending channels froze. Meanwhile these troubles were compounded by an oil supply war as Saudi Arabia and Russia

decided to aggressively ramp output.

The virus response measures from governments and companies started slowly, but by the end of March the majority of the US

was under some type of “shelter in place” restriction and the world had unleashed an avalanche of stimulus measures unrivalled

in history. Very few companies were providing formal guidance at this point given the extremely fluid business environment.

However, the qualitative commentary from nearly everyone was cautious, with most anticipating COVID-19 headwinds

intensifying in Q2 vs. Q1.

Two big stimulus announcements arrived toward the end of May when the European Commission unveiled an €750bn recovery

initiative that would raise money on behalf of the EU while Japan pledged to nearly double its COVID fiscal response (to an

astounding ~40% of GDP).

In August the Federal Reserve adopted a monumental (but widely expected) policy shift, during his Jackson Hole address

Powell formally announced a Fed target of average inflation rate of 2% (vs. the prior discrete target) abandoning the link

between unemployment and inflation. The Fed will now have a tough job convincing markets it can engineer inflation above

2% when it struggled to maintain this target prior to the crisis.

November was dominated by the outcome of the US election and positive COVID vaccine developments from Pfizer, Moderna

and AstraZeneca/Oxford spurring the normalization trade reflected by the cyclicals and value groups outperforming growth

stocks by about 4%. Equities saw significant gains during the month of November with the US index up 10%-plus while the

equal-weighted US benchmark outperformed by about 300bps.

Meanwhile US President-elect Biden’s relationship with the market started on a positive footing as he appointed former Fed

chair Janet Yellen as Treasury Secretary, as well as favouring to put more focus on fiscal stimulus instead of tax hikes.

Performance Review

The GBP X-share class was up 5.33% over the reporting period.

Fixed Income

2020 was a year split into two distinct parts: the first 5 months evidenced extreme market moves that saw credit markets under

quite some pressure, while the remainder of the year responded to the huge measures announced by the authorities and

delivered strong market returns. Despite a large portion of the Fund being allocated to very high-grade credit, the first half of the

year recorded a broadly flat return because all forms of credit saw valuations undermined. The second half witnessed record

amounts of corporate debt issued, which was met by very strong investor demand; this took credit spreads sharply narrower,

resulting in capital prices moving higher. These moves benefited the asset allocation of the Fund, and opportunities were taken

to switch some lower-yielding holdings into some lower rated credits to capture the rally in the market. This involved investing

in some subordinated corporate and financial debt, both of which were among the strongest performing sectors in the fixed

income universe, while maintaining the Fund’s average rating in investment grade territory.

Tactical positioning was taken in exchange-traded derivatives, most notably during March and April to control the Fund’s

volatility during the testing times for the global markets.

Equities

During the first half of the year, there was a bifurcation in equity performance between stocks that have been Covid

19 beneficiaries and more traditional Cyclicals. We used the selloff in March to opportunistically add some quality names to

our fund, such as Align Technology, L'Oreal, Johnson & Johnson and Starbucks which became some of the biggest positive

performers in the fund over H1. Equity performance has also been buoyed by work from home beneficiaries such as Microsoft

and Adobe.

In H2 we introduced ISRG and Twilio and we increased exposure to Emerging market equities and more broadly, we moved

our equity allocation higher. Over H2, the strongest portfolio performers were: Align Technology, TSMC, Uber, Twilio, UPS

and Disney.

Gold

Gold has performed strongly over the first half of the year reflecting its status as a beneficiary of the liquidity phenomenon as

fiscal support from Western Governments led to historically large budget deficits and concerns about excessive debt growth. As

sovereign yields in the US began rising in Q3/4, gold as expected became more range bound.

Outlook

After what turned out to be a tumultuous year for the global economy, many of the dynamics that drive asset market pricing

have had to be adjusted. Most notable is the sheer amount of government debt that has built up in each developed nation, and the

equally forceful asset purchase programmes implemented by leading central banks. Of high importance is the response

mechanism for key economic sectors such as leisure and retail which have been the principal casualties of the pandemic. The

higher rates of unemployment will no doubt act as a drag to any meaningful return to normality in economic growth for at least

the first half of 2021, and this in turn will hold back a sustained rise in inflation. This backdrop should continue to be supportive

of very low official interest rates as well as government bond yields well into 2022. Large businesses’ balance sheets look more

stable now than 6 months ago, partly because of sizeable cash balances and lower borrowing costs. This provides for an

improving outlook for corporate and financial debt for 2021, areas that are important for the Fund’s fixed income positioning.

The equity reflation narrative is supported by three core pillars (earnings, vaccines, and stimulus), and all are still in place.

Q4 2020 earnings reports are exceeding forecasts by a wide margin, creating upside risk to the 2021 and 2022 S&P500 EPS

consensus. The COVID outlook is improving on two fronts: transmissions/hospitalizations and vaccines. The holiday-season

infection surge is abating and states are easing lockdown restrictions. Meanwhile, the vaccination pace is accelerating and

should receive a massive boost if JNJ achieves EU approval. With regards to stimulus, the fiscal and monetary taps are wide

open, Biden has proposed $1.9T in fresh COVID stimulus and this is just the first part of his two-part plan (the second initiative

could be worth another $2T) we are keenly observing passage of the bill in the Senate given the slim majority. So far Powell has

emphatically defended the current policy framework of ZIRP (zero interest rate policy) and $120B purchases per month in QE,

with current equity valuations supported as long as rates stay capped and any rise occurring gradually. As the recovery gains

traction a key risk to monitor into 2021 will be the market reaction to any sign that we are approaching policy reversal.

Market Review

2020 turned out to be a year unlike any other.

To repeat our statement from the first half review; “The good news is that societies have not fallen apart and that, by in large,

governments across the globe have kept critical infrastructure such as food supply and health services running amidst the

shuttering of economic activity.”

We had to wait until November for another dose of good news. This came in the shape of effective Covid-19 vaccines that raise

the probability of a materially better 2021 for societies everywhere.

First, a look back on the year just past. Abstracting for a moment the terrible physical and mental toll of the pandemic, 2020 was

a staggering year for economies and markets.

US equities surpassed early year peaks and other bourses saw similar rebounds, albeit at reduced magnitude. Through to the

November vaccine announcements this was largely attributable to geographical sector allocations with technology companies

benefiting from ‘stay at home demand’ when compared to traditional industries. A sharp rotation in favour of more old

economy cyclical (value) stocks followed as the prospects for societal normalisation in 2021 improved.

In fixed income markets sovereign yields remain pinned near all time lows, while credit markets enjoyed record issuance as

central bank supported primary and secondary bond issuance. This allowed corporate treasurers to shore up balance sheets by

refinancing banks lines, pre-financing 2021 cash requirements and extending maturities. Amazingly, 2020 ended with US

corporate bankruptcies lower than a year earlier.

Strategy

Mariana Investment Partners LLP ("MIP") assumed management responsibility for the Fund on May 5th, 2020.

Our strategic asset allocation consists of a 60:40 split between equity and fixed income.

The equity allocation consists of 50 equally weighted stocks drawn from the Stoxx 600 universe. This is Beta hedged by a short

Stoxx 600 future. In turn this strategy is currency hedged from Euro to GBP.

The Fixed Income allocation is designed as a flexible, low duration, ‘carry’ strategy of liquid, high quality bonds.

Finally, the Fund deploys a range of opportunistic, market neutral strategies. These are typically relative value tactical pairs

trades in fixed income (rates or credit) and equity markets (covered options).

The overall strategy aim is to provide low volatility, low correlation returns at every stage in the economic and market cycles.

Monthly rebalancing to 60:40 maintained the target asset allocation and the fixed income carry portfolio provided adequate

liquidity when required. Within fixed income additional lower rated credits were added through the year as investment grade

yields tended towards zero.

Risk & Performance

All three strategies contributed positively to performance in 2020 as market dislocations allowed the bond portfolio to be

constructed with strong carry versus UK risk free rates. Similarly, volatility and pricing arbitrage provided tactical

opportunities to add value. The strategic beta hedged equity portfolio performed in line with expectations with low volatility

positive returns over the seven-month period it was employed.

From a risk perspective the Fund is positioned appropriately with VaR (one year historic, 99% confidence, 20-day horizon) at

3.8% versus the reference MSCI World equivalent at 32.1%.

The Fund produced strong relative and absolute returns for the first half of 2020. A short position in US Equity futures was the

principal driver of returns from mid-February through to late March.

Full year performance of +11.01% represents a strong outcome with sub 5% volatility.

Outlook

Our multi-factor equity strategy has consistently produced positive absolute returns with low volatility and we expect this to

continue. On a relative basis we expect to modestly underperform in strong markets while offering significant downside

protection during drawdowns.

The efficacy of several vaccines has transformed the outlook for 2021 and we cannot argue with the market consensus that has

taken hold. The thesis that pent up demand will return as some sort of normalisation occurs is difficult to dispute. Add to that

enormous Government and Central Bank support and a continued rally in risk asset prices is the path of least resistance.

Set against this are worries that inflation will force policy makers to taper asset purchases and hike interest rates. This indeed

represents a major risk to markets. On balance we believe the any sustained inflationary pressure to be a year away at least. A

critical test of markets will come in March/April when the base effects of a collapse in oil prices come out various inflation

gauges. If that occurs against a backdrop of core inflation trending higher, we could see a significant reversal.

If inflation does emerge – be it this year, next year or beyond it will mark the end of a forty-year bull market for nominal bonds

and severely challenge the goldilocks, there is no alternative ("TINA") and fear of missing out ("FOMO") drivers currently

attributed to global risk asset price action.

From a Fund perspective our strategy is designed to be ‘all weather’. Low duration bonds are less exposed to steepening yield

curves while beta neutral equities are systematic alpha stock picks.

Market Review

During the 2020 calendar year, the Fund generated returns of -8.61% and -8.19% for the Investor and Institutional share classes

over the last calendar year, respectively. While the period was undoubtedly challenging for real estate-related businesses given

the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Fund’s focus on very well-capitalized property companies leaves the portfolio holdings

well-placed in a turbulent time like this and the prevailing valuations for most real estate securities seem quite compelling when

taking a long-term view (see Fund Commentary).

The largest detractors to performance during the year included the common stocks of Five Point Holdings, Inc. (“Five Point”)

and Seritage Growth Properties (“Seritage”). Five Point is a US-based real estate operating company that is the largest

developer of master planned communities in coastal California with plans to build more than 40,000 residential units and nearly

20 million square feet of commercial space at its three key projects in Orange County (Great Park), Los Angeles (Valencia), and

San Francisco (Shipyards). While there was significant progress during the year, particularly with initial land sales in Valencia,

Five Point is in the early stages of reporting meaningful profits given the long-dated nature of its developments. Seritage is a

US-based real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that controls 185 properties that were previously occupied by Sears. With

nearly 28 million square feet of space in urban markets (including key holdings in Florida, California, Texas, and New York),

the company has a substantial opportunity to add value over time by re-leasing and re-purposing locations that Sears has

vacated; however, this progress was disrupted during the year with retailers expansion efforts largely placed on hold during the

Covid-19 pandemic.

Top contributors during the 2020 calendar year included the common stocks of Prologis Inc. (“Prologis”), Lennar Corp.

(“Lennar”) and The Lowe’s Companies (“Lowe’s”). Prologis is a US-based REIT that is the largest owner of modern-logistic

facilities globally with a platform that spans more than 960 million square feet throughout its key markets of North America,

Europe, and Asia. During the year, the company’s operations benefited from an acceleration in demand for industrial properties

supporting the surge in e-commerce activity amidst “stay-at-home” orders. Lennar is the largest homebuilder in the US (by

revenues), with a focus on first-time and first-time-move-up buyers in its 1.25k active communities. During the year, the

company’s new orders (and backlog) increased significantly as demand for newly-constructed homes strengthened alongside

historically-low mortgage rates, an increased emphasis on single-family housing relative to multifamily dwellings, and record-

low inventory levels. Lowe’s is the second largest home improvement retailer in North America, with a 2,000 store footprint in

the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, California, Florida, and Texas. The company enjoyed record sales during the year with an

increased emphasis on home-improvement spending, as well as enhanced margins given an increased focus on operational

efficiencies more recently.

Positioning

At the end of the period, the Fund had 41% of its capital invested in Residential Real Estate companies that have strong ties to

the US and UK residential markets, where there are significant supply deficits after years of under-building. In conjunction with

record-low inventory levels, there seems to be substantial demand for new product at an affordable price point (both for-sale

and for-rent). Therefore, these holdings seem poised to benefit from a further recovery in residential construction, sales, and

ancillary activities. At the end of the quarter, these positions included a diversified set of businesses including homebuilding

(Lennar Group and Berkeley Group), timberland ownership and management (Weyerhaeuser and Rayonier), land development

(Five Point Holdings and St. Modwen Properties), the ownership and development of rental properties (American Homes

4 Rent, Grainger plc, and Essex Property Trust), as well as other ancillary businesses (Lowe’s and Trinity Place Holdings).

At year-end, the Fund also had 39% of its capital invested in Commercial Real Estate enterprises that are involved in long-

term wealth creation. These holdings are largely capitalizing on secular trends within property, including structural changes

that are driving more demand for industrial properties and self-storage facilities (Prologis, Segro plc, First Industrial, U-Haul,

Big Yellow, and National Storage) as well as the further densification and improvements taking place in select urban corridors

(JBG Smith Properties, Derwent London, CK Asset Holdings, Vornado Realty Trust, Henderson Land, and Wharf Holdings).

In Fund Management’s view, each of these enterprises is very well-capitalized, their securities trade at discounts to private-

market values (especially in light of the prevailing interest rate environment), and they seem capable of increasing Net-Asset

Value (“NAV”)--primarily by undertaking additional development and redevelopment activities, as well as by making

opportunistic acquisitions.

An additional 18% of the Fund’s capital is invested in Real Estate Services. These businesses are generally less capital

intensive than direct property ownership and as a result have historically offered much higher returns on capital, provided the

business has a favorable competitive positioning within the real estate value chain. At the present time, these holdings primarily

include franchises involved with asset management (Brookfield Asset Management and Patrizia Immobilien), brokerage and

property management (Savills plc and CBRE Group), as well as mortgage and title insurance (Fannie Mae and FNF Group).

The remaining 3% of the Fund’s capital is in Cash & Equivalents. The Fund also has certain hedges in place, primarily relating

to its foreign currency exposures (British Pound and Hong Kong Dollar).

The Fund’s allocations across these various business types are outlined in the chart below. In addition, Fund Management

ESG Commentary

Those that are well-versed in the timberland markets recognize that the 1970’s were amongst the most rewarding times to be

“invested in trees.” To wit, U.S. timberlands are believed to be amongst the best performing assets classes during that decade

with an annualized return of +21.56% according to the National Council of Real Estate Fiduciaries (NCREIF) Timberlands

Index.

Widely viewed as a beneficiary of “broad-based” inflation, the actual drivers of the performance for timberlands in that era

were much more fundamental in nature. For instance, during the 1970’s, the demand for lumber (and thus sawlogs) increased

rapidly as the “baby-boomers” moved to the suburbs and U.S. housing starts averaged 1.74 million annually. At the same time,

the supply of fiber (e.g., sawlogs) became more constrained— particularly after the National Forest Management Act of

1976 curtailed harvesting on nationally owned timberlands.

Those that have continued to closely follow the timberland markets likely recognize similar dynamics resurfacing today. Put

otherwise, demand for softwoods (i.e., Douglas Fir and Southern Yellow Pine) is increasing alongside a pickup in lumber

consumption associated with single-family construction and the repair-and-remodel segment—as well as an emerging export

market. Simultaneously, supply levels for logs in certain “wood baskets” seem to be receding given the curtailment of lumber

Investment Manager’s Report(Continued)

Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund (continued)

Page 208: UCITS Annual Report - calamos.com

imports from Canada and additional harvesting activity in the U.S. South (where more than 5 million board feet of lumber mill

capacity is estimated to have been added in the past four years).

Almost equally as important is the fact that forests are gaining recognition as one of the most cost effective ways to sequester

carbon (trees capture carbon dioxide to fuel their growth through photosynthesis) and also reduce emissions when used in

building (wood-based structures emit roughly half the carbon of alternative options such as steel and cement).

As a result, three factors that could very well have an impact on timberland values moving forward include: (i) added demand

for wood-based building, largely through the utilization of cross laminated timber (CLT) in mid-rise multi-family and other

low-rise commercial facilities, (ii) wider adoption of a carbon-offset market in the U.S., thus incentivizing certain timberland

owners to defer harvest with alternative sources of value (i.e., “carbon credits”), as well as (iii) strategic interest from non-

traditional industries, such as multi-national energy groups, which are seeking to offset their existing carbon emissions through

larger-scale renewable resource investments such as sustainable forests.

Given this backdrop, it is not inconceivable that timberland values could very well be on the verge of a steep change. That is not

to say that the returns witnessed in 1970’s are to be repeated. It is simply that the proposition of investing in strategically located

timberlands (which tend to provide current yield through annual harvesting, reasonable prospects of capital appreciation with

biological growth, and opportunities to capture higher-and better-use values through development) is in the midst of being

supplemented with incremental sources of value.

For these reasons, and others, the Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund has approximately 9.25% of its net assets invested in

timberland-centric enterprises through the common stocks of Weyerhaeuser and Rayonier. Not only do these well-capitalized

U.S.-based REITs control world-class timber portfolios (that collectively comprise 14 million acres in highly-productive areas

of the Pacific Northwest and the U.S. South, and to a lesser extent the Northeast and New Zealand), but they also have common

stocks which can be purchased at meaningful discounts to Third Avenue’s estimates of Net-Asset Value - without even

factoring in what may prove to be one of the most valuable attributes: their portfolios combine to sequester nearly 11.5 million

metrics tons of carbon dioxide annually, more than any other privately-held enterprise globally, in our estimation.

Fund Commentary

During the course of our careers, Fund Management has had the great fortune of working alongside some of the more influential

figures in the professions of modern-day real estate and value investing, including Trammell Crow (founder of the Trammell

Crow Company, now a subsidiary of Fund holding CBRE) and Marty Whitman (founder of Third Avenue Management).

While both pioneers were highly accomplished in separate fields, they did share an affinity for one common

endeavor: investing in commercial real estate.

Why was that the case? The proposition for investing in commercial real estate is straightforward: to the extent one owns a

well-located and high-quality property (such as an efficiently-designed distribution facility, a class-A office property, or an

infill self-storage facility), the asset has historically provided a very resilient cash flow stream which can increase at rates

in-line with inflation (or better) over time. Further, such a property tends to defend one’s capital with a “durable value” and an

alternative use. Finally, such a property can often be financed with fixed-rate and long-dated debt that serves to enhance the

cash-on-cash return potential (without necessarily adding “risk” if done so on a non-recourse basis) while also delivering the

opportunity to capture appreciation in a tax-advantaged manner through subsequent refinancings and like-kind exchanges.

Even though commercial real estate has been one of the most ideal places to create (and store) wealth for decades, Fund

Management is of the view that accessing the asset class through the listed markets (i.e., public securities) is the more ideal

proposition. One of the most notable advantages for the publicly-traded route is that these enterprises control some of the most

highly sought after properties and portfolios globally, which are oftentimes not possible to access through direct investments.

Further, the vast majority of publicly-traded real estate companies are (i) run by skilled management teams, (ii) have multiple

channels to access the capital markets resulting in a cost of capital advantage, and (iii) offer investors transparency and liquidity

with audited financial statements and securities traded on major stock exchanges worldwide.

Accessing real estate through the listed markets is not without its shortcomings, however. Speaking from experience on both

sides of the property markets, Fund Management can attest to some of the most notable drawbacks of publicly-traded real estate

including the lack of control in terms of the timing of financing and monetization events, the inability to utilize the tax attributes

Investment Manager’s Report(Continued)

Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund (continued)

Page 209: UCITS Annual Report - calamos.com

of direct investing as a securities owner, as well as dealing with the shorter-term “mark-to-market” of securities for an asset

class that is inherently long-term in nature.

With commercial real estate priced “daily” in the public markets, there is however one other key advantage to the listed

space: the ability to buy into very strategic properties and portfolios at significant discounts to prices that would otherwise seem

to be available in a negotiated transaction. Given the set of events over the past year (e.g., the Covid-19 pandemic and “stay-

at-home” orders), now certainly seems to be one of those moments with commercial real estate companies trading at prices that

seem to be attractive on both an absolute and relative basis.

To put that in context, the price to funds from operations (a real estate measure of cash flow) for widely-held U.S. commercial

real estate companies (i.e., U.S. REITs) currently sits at 15 times when isolating non-traditional (and more expensively priced)

property types such as cell towers and data centers. Further, the implied cap rates (or initial yields) for commercial real estate

properties are currently at approximately 6.00% - levels that are 2.70% and 7.00% above the yields for investment-grade bond

yields (“Baa”) and 10-year U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”), respectively. These spreads represent

amongst the largest recorded differentials to date.

Source: Green Street Analytics, Capital IQ.

(1) Implied cap rate consists of the equal-weighted average for the

live major property sectors (Apartment, Industrial, Mall, Office, and

Strip Center).

At the same time, valuations for general equities seem to be at historically high levels (the trailing price to earnings ratio of the

S&P 500 is currently in excess of 30 times) and bond yields are hovering around the lowest levels recorded in history (with an

estimated $17 trillion of debt securities trading at negative yields worldwide). For these reasons, alongside a view that assets

with the potential to provide current yield and inflation protection will be in greater demand post pandemic, Fund Management

believes that allocations to listed real estate (and real assets) offer a compelling alternative and are set to expand.

With that being the case, it seems to be worth reinforcing the unique exposures within the Third Avenue Real Estate Value

Fund. At the present time, securities held in the portfolio represent interests in some of the most strategic commercial real estate

enterprises globally, real estate service platforms positioned to accommodate for increasing allocations to real assets, as well as

select enterprises participating in what could very well be a multi-year expansion in residential construction.

These exposures also share the characteristics of holdings that have served as the foundation of Third Avenue portfolios for the

better part of three decades. To wit, the enterprises have super-strong financial positions (the average net debt to asset ratio for

the companies held in the Fund is less than 20%) with securities trading at undemanding levels (the average discount to Fund

Management’s conservative estimate of Net-Asset Value is more than 15.0% when viewed in the aggregate). As a result, the

Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund represents an option to access highly sought after real estate at prices that seem to be

quite sensible relative to more prevalent allocations—a combination that was also true when the Fund was launched in 1998 and

one that Mr. Crow and Mr. Whitman would undoubtedly share an affinity for.

The Fund continues to be invested in U.S. mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), and related investments. This is an

approximate universe of $7 trillion of fixed income securities, of which 90% are government Agency issued and guaranteed

securities, primarily Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. The remaining 10% consists of non-Agency MBS, including

both legacy, or pre-2007 vintage bonds, and newer issue, or next generation issues. As of 31 December, we continued to find

the most value within our sector in non-government guaranteed U.S. mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"), with about 90%

allocated to this sector and 5% allocated to U.S. multi-family housing CMBS, with the remainder in temporary cash

equivalents. Approximately 47% of the portfolio’s RMBS are newer issue bonds collateralized with newly originated mortgage

loans including Agency Credit Risk Transfer Bonds ("CRT"), Jumbo 2.0, Non-Qualified Mortgage securitizations ("Non-

QM"), and Single Family Rental bonds ("SFR"). These deals tend to de-lever quickly leading to enhanced credit quality and

upgrade opportunities, and overall continue to have better structures and credit protection than pre-financial crisis bonds.

Approximately 23% of the portfolio’s RMBS are newer issue securities securitized with seasoned and legacy, or pre-financial

crisis loans, including Reperforming Loan Securitizations ("RPL") and Non-Performing Loan Securitizations ("NPL"), and

30% are legacy RMBS, mostly senior Subprime and Prime bonds.

The 2020 calendar year started on a firm note in the non-Agency sector. Volatility in equities and a decline in Treasury yields

in February from growing global economic concerns created by the growing Coronavirus crisis had done little to slow the

demand for RMBS or other securitized debt until mid-March. The combination of low rates, solid housing data, and strong

RMBS market fundamentals and technicals had continued to support the sector through the first two months of the calendar

year.

This relative calm changed dramatically and quickly beginning in mid-March. Spreads across non-Agency RMBS and other

securitized debt sectors including asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”),

markets widened by an extraordinary amount as selling pressure across the RMBS market from mortgage REITs, mortgage

hedge funds, and mortgage and multi-sector bond mutual funds intensified from the effects of both leverage and redemptions.

Forced selling put more and more pressure on the most liquid mortgage credit sectors. For example, Agency Credit Risk

Transfer (“CRT”), Last Cash Flow bonds, the most liquid bonds in the non-agency sector, had price declines of 30-40+% versus

beginning of month levels. Mezzanine Single Family Rental bonds (“SFR”), from top tier issuers like Invitation Homes for

example, traded down into the $50s from close to par levels at the start of the month, and Legacy, or pre-financial crisis bonds,

began to trade at or close to double digit yield levels, up from 3-4% at the end of February, representing price declines of

10-50% depending on the profile. Other non-agency sectors, like Non-QM, Jumbo 2.0 and Reperforming and Non-Performing

loan securitizations, saw both senior and mezzanine profiles drop substantially during this period. Senior securities dropped

5-15% while mezzanine profiles saw price declines of 25-40% or more during the height of this volatile period.

Over the weekend of March 21st, an unprecedented supply of several billion dollars of RMBS was sold through auctions from

bond mutual funds and mortgage REITs, further depressing prices across both newer issue and legacy RMBS. Flows

accelerated and markets became very opaque. Repo counterparties to levered funds defensively and aggressively increased

margin calls, further pressuring funds’ liquidity needs. Dealers, who normally act as a buffer between buyers and sellers, also

looked to reduce their balance sheet significantly during this period, as quarter end balance sheet pressure and corporate lending

client needs exacerbated this liquidity overhang. Selling pressure very slowly began to ease in late March, in part due to

significant intervention by the Fed and rapidly passed fiscal policy legislation, the $2 Trillion CARES Act.

Despite the significant uncertainty and economic pressure caused by the onset of the pandemic and rolling local and state-wide

shutdowns, the U.S. housing sector quickly demonstrated its staying power, and both fundamental and technical strength.

Initial concerns about the ability for the housing market to remain strong proved to be unfounded. U.S. housing market

fundamentals, homeowner financial strength, and RMBS market technicals have all been strong and getting stronger

throughout this last several months. Home equity is at a record high, over $20 trillion – 6% higher than one year ago. While a

large number of homeowners took advantage of rapidly rolled out forbearance programs by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and

other mortgage loan servicers – supported by the CARES Act, the percentage of non-current loans never came close to the

delinquencies from the last recession, and non-current loans have steadily declined since spring. Approximately 60% of

forborne loans have cured, and elevated refinancing activity has resulted in rapid delevering of many bonds in both funds,

increasing credit quality materially.

While the portfolio’s bond prices have moved consistently higher since March, we believe that many of these bonds remain

fundamentally underpriced, lagging improving real estate fundamentals. There are a number of reasons why these profiles have

not rebounded as quickly as some other risk sectors. First, these bonds trade over the counter in negotiated transactions. Many

are bespoke, structurally complex securities that may trade less frequently, resulting in less price discovery. Second, the Fed,

with its extraordinary support of the economy and markets, did not provide direct support to the RMBS sector, as it did with

other bond sectors including Agency MBS.

The below table highlights sector level average price changes and loss-adjusted yield to maturity levels throughout the year for

the Fund, highlighting the sharp drop in prices in March and subsequent recovery.

The primary source of negative performance during the calendar year ended was March price declines across most of the

portfolio’s sectors. Interest income for the period totaled about 3.2%, about 1.3% lower than the prior year, caused by the Fed

induced sharp decline in market rates including LIBOR, which declined by about 1.5% in the first quarter.

We expect to maintain a similar overall Total Return Fund composition in 2021, with the largest allocation to non-Agencies,

with a growing percentage in newer issue securities, a modest allocation to CMBS, and a continued relatively low level of

interest rate sensitivity.

As of December 31st, the portfolio’s duration is approximately 2.4 years, one-half year shorter than 6 months ago. We expect

to reduce this modestly through sales of longer bonds including certain Legacy RMBS, and expect continued elevated

refinancing activity to further shorten average maturities and effective duration. The portfolio’s stated loss-adjusted yield to

maturity is 3.6% at year end. We expect that stronger than expected economic performance and a robust real estate market

characterized by home price appreciation over 9% year-over-year and elevated refinancing activity supported by historically

low mortgage rates will result in actual yield to maturity over 4%.

We continue to expect further normalization of fundamentals and credit spreads across RMBS sectors in 2021 as a result of

reduced COVID uncertainty by way of vaccinations, post-election stimulus, and continued curing of pandemic related

delinquencies. The Fed remains committed to support markets with short rates near zero and $120 billion of monthly bond

purchases. The new administration in Washington is committed to additional fiscal stimulus and supportive policies including

continued forbearance programs and foreclosure moratoriums. The supply/demand technicals and low mortgage rates

supporting housing prices are unlikely to reverse in the coming year.

We expect mezzanine and subordinated profiles to perform best as we recapture last year’s lagged performance. We expect this

to result in attractive performance relative to other fixed income sectors that have already fully recovered to pre-pandemic

levels and beyond, in many cases without the fundamental credit support that RMBS enjoys today.

We see a number of attractive investment opportunities concentrated in residential housing-related sectors in 2021, including:

•Agency Credit Risk Transfer: Backed by high quality pools of agency borrowers (with average Fair Isaac Corporation

("FICO") scores in the mid 700 range and mid 30s debt to income ratios (“DTI”)), these bonds offer investors opportunities to

access mortgage credit and express credit views of housing and loan performance. The collateral has continued to outperform

initial expectations related to the pandemic and continues to benefit from programs designed by the Federal Housing Finance

Agency ("FHFA") and Government Sponsored Enterprises ("GSEs") relating to forbearance and loss mitigation.

Subordinated B1 and B2 profiles yield between 4-7% with mezzanine bond yielding in the 3% range. Many prices remain at

a discount to par, and the sector’s significant liquidity affords active management opportunities

•Non-Qualified Mortgages: Although these borrowers don't qualify for agency purchase and are not as strong as prime jumbo

loans, the average quality of these borrowers is very high relative to that of pre-financial crisis borrowers. Mezzanine bonds

currently yield about 4-5% with 3 – 5 year durations, and collateral enhancement ("C/E") well in excess of worst case loss

scenarios, as bonds have delivered much more than loss expectations have increased. Prices have the opportunity to appreciate

another several percent if spreads revert to early 2020 levels

•Prime Jumbo 2.0: Backed by the highest credit quality borrowers in RMBS, deals had muted forbearance take-up rates at the

height of the pandemic. Strong performance along with rapid prepays should lead to credit enhancement buildup, future

upgrade activity, and spread tightening on jumbo mezzanine profiles, supporting near term price appreciation

•Non-Performing Loan Securitizations: NPLs, especially those collateralized largely by Real Estate Owned ("REO")

properties, have benefited from robust 2020 Home Price Appreciation ("HPA") growth, limited new issue supply, and

improving credit fundamentals. NPL issuers continue selling re-performing loans and REOs out of existing structures rapidly

delevering these structures. Subordinate bonds remain below par, and currently yield in excess of 5% expected yield. We

expect price appreciation from early calls or spread tightening

•Mezzanine Tranches of Single Family Rental Securitizations: The SFR sector has been one of the strongest performing

sectors fundamentally since March driven by high quality tenants, a long term demographic demand for single family rentals,

and sophisticated SFR operators. Rental collections and revenue growth during the pandemic have remained in line with or

better than previous periods, while the SFR collateral has benefited from levels of HPA higher than the national average.

Mezzanine profiles in the sector can yield from 3-5+%

•Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Multifamily Securitizations: GSE deals have seen continued low delinquencies rates and

rental collections have remained well above initial pandemic expectations. In our view these securities have always been

fundamentally mispriced, given historical performance, strong collateral underwriting, and experienced property sponsors.

Similar to CRT, assistance programs offered during the pandemic have aided the few borrowers who faced disruption. We

believe this sector will continue to offer strong total return, strong fundamentals can be accessed via securities with discount

dollar prices, intermediate to long spread duration, and material upside to spread tightening and collateral prepayments

The RMBS market will not be without risk in 2021, with the likelihood of some broader macro lead volatility impacting

valuations. Additionally, while cure rates for forborne loans are expected to be high and liquidation levels low, some non-

performing loans will inevitably lead to defaults and liquidations. However, several factors make this a much more favorable

backdrop for loans to liquidate in contrast with the great financial crisis 10 years ago (GFC). Firstly, mortgage servicers are

better equipped in terms of technology and loss mitigation techniques such as loan modification protocols which can be

expected to keep a higher percentage of borrowers cash flowing. Secondly, borrower home equity levels are at significantly

higher levels than the GFC, which should incentivize distressed borrowers to sell their homes to protect their equity. According

to Black Knight in their August Mortgage Monitor report, the percent of borrowers with negative equity is now below 2%

versus the highs experienced in 2010, when about 30% of borrowers had negative equity in their homes. Finally, we are in an

environment today where housing demand far outstrips available supply which should make for a supportive market for

borrowers to trade out of their homes and servicers to liquidate REO properties.

Another risk in our 2021 outlook is yield curve steepening. Monetary and fiscal policy continues to lead to a growing federal

deficit and more Treasury borrowing. We also expect higher levels of corporate and municipal debt to come to market as issuers

continue to take advantage of low rates. As the economy moves towards normalcy, given the Fed’s stated intention to keep the

target Fed Funds Rate near 0% and comfort with allowing inflation to exceed its long term target of 2%, we believe that the

intermediate and long portions of the yield curve may rise. The lower interest rate sensitivity of most RMBS profiles, and the

relatively low duration of the Fund, will help to preserve value relative to other fixed income sectors in such an environment.

Introduction

The Fund’s objective is to achieve an annualised return of 7-8% per annum over the medium to long-term and aims to do so in

anything but the bleakest of market conditions. It achieves this via exposure to a diversified portfolio of autocallable

instruments linked to major global equity indices.

Performance Review

The Fund launched in February 2020 and began making investments in March. Since then, the Fund has made investments into

eighteen different equity market linked autocallable instruments, collateralised on G7 Government Bonds.

The Fund USD A-class ended 2020 with a performance of +6.16%, which puts the Fund on track to achieve 7-8% over the first

12 months which we believe is a good performance given equity market performance in 2020 and the fact that we were not

continuously fully invested throughout the period.

We believe the Fund’s current portfolio of investments are on track to generate annualised positive returns, with each

investment currently well above its final autocall barrier.

If equity markets remain around their current level, the Fund is well placed to deliver the target return of 7-8% in its first year

of being fully invested. This would be a very good outcome considering the unforgettable year 2020 has proven to be.

Outlook

It is always difficult to predict how markets might perform in the future. However, the Fund is currently well positioned to

continue to grow its AUM, increase its portfolio of investments and in turn deliver its stated aim of returning 7% to 8% per

annum over the medium to long term.

Market Review

The Fund’s fiscal year has spanned an extraordinary period for the economy and markets. The global equity and global

convertible markets rose steadily from the beginning of the reporting period into February, when the COVID-19 crisis and

tension between OPEC and Russia roiled the markets, with three years of equity market gains evaporating in a matter of days.

As central banks and governments took decisive steps in response to the rapidly unfolding global health crisis, investor

sentiment improved quickly and financial markets rebounded dramatically. Yet, even during this upswing, markets remained

volatile due to uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and the potential fiscal policy impacts of looming U.S. elections. In the

final months of the reporting period, market participants focused on encouraging vaccine developments, favorable economic

data, and greater clarity in the wake of November elections in the United States.

During the reporting period, the Calamos Global Convertible Fund demonstrated the merits of active management. For the

12 months ended 31 December 2020, the Fund returned 39.52% (U.S. Accumulating I shares), outperforming the Refinitiv

Global Convertible Bond Index’s gain of 35.11%, and the MSCI World Index’s return of 16.50%. The Fund also outperformed

the Morningstar Convertible Bond-Global Category’s average return of 25.40% for 2020.

The Fund’s performance during the year was supported by its ability to capture upside in advancing markets, with less exposure

to downside. As markets advanced from 1 January 2020 to 19 February 2020, the Fund gained 6.07%, outperforming the

Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index’s return of 5.14% and the MSCI World Index’s return of 3.31%. The Fund was more

resilient during the downturn, returning -17.59% from 20 February 2020 to 23 March 2020, versus steeper declines of -22.00%

for the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index and -33.93% for the MSCI World Index. The Fund participated in a substantial

measure of the subsequent rebound, gaining 59.60% from 24 March 2020 to 31 December 2020, versus a return of 64.76% for

the Refinitiv Global Convertible Bond Index and 70.67% for the MSCI World Index.

Performance Review

Heading into the COVID-19 crisis, the Calamos Global Convertible Fund was well situated with a heavy representation in areas

poised to benefit from the “at home” paradigm, including technologies that allowed people to work, learn, shop, and receive

medical attention from home. Additionally, while the convertible market did not begin the reporting period with many of the

holdings that the COVID-19 lockdown pressured most (for example, cruise lines, airlines, and brick-and-mortar retailers),

many of these companies tapped the convertible market as they sought access to lower-cost capital to help shore up their

balance sheets. The Fund selectively purchased a number of these issues at the bottom of the market and participated as their

underlying stocks began to recover. Robust new issuance expanded the global convertible market, and importantly, provided an

opportunity to rebalance convertible positions that had become either too bond sensitive or equity sensitive with convertibles

that we believed offered more attractive risk-reward profiles.

From an economic sector attribution perspective, the Fund benefited from favorable security selection in the consumer

discretionary sector, with notable contributions from holdings in the hotels, resorts and cruise lines industry and the automobile

manufacturers industry supporting the overall return. An underweight stance and selection in industrials also proved beneficial.

Here, holdings in the aerospace and defense industry and industrial machinery industry added value. The Fund’s overweight

stance and security selection in the consumer staples sector detracted, with holdings in the hypermarkets and super centers

industry and packaged food and meats industry curbing relative returns. Additionally, security selection in the real estate sector

detracted from performance over the reporting period, as holdings in the real estate operating companies and diversified real

estate activities industries underperformed.

From a geographic perspective, the Fund benefited from favorable security selection and an overweight position in the

United States. Security selection and an underweight allocation in Europe also proved advantageous. In contrast, a lack of

exposure to Emerging Latin America weakened relative performance, as did an underweight stance and security selection in

Emerging Europe.

Outlook

The case for convertible securities as a strategic portfolio cornerstone is as strong as ever. Convertibles provide a breadth of

investment opportunities, from both sector and market cap standpoints. Issuance is driven by companies seeking capital, which

is tied to economic growth. In 2020, a diverse group of global companies issued $158.6 billion (USD) in new securities, the

largest amount since 2007. We view this volume as a very positive indicator for the asset class and for future economic growth.

Investment Manager’s Report

Page 253: UCITS Annual Report - calamos.com

As hybrid securities, convertibles provide risk-managed access to the upside of stocks with potentially lower volatility which

we see as a key priority in 2021. This includes the opportunity to invest in smaller companies - tomorrow's leaders - and

well-established companies. Additionally, due to their equity attributes, convertibles can offer a hedge against rising interest

rates. Maximizing the attributes of convertibles requires an active approach, and we are focused on continual rebalancing,

favoring issues with balanced equity and fixed income sensitivities. These provide the best potential to participate in equity

upside while mitigating downside.

In closing, we thank you for your trust.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)

London & Capital Global Balanced Fixed Income Fund - The investment objective is to seek to provide absolute

growth through investments in a full range of global fixed income securities including government bonds and

corporate bonds with the aim of producing balanced investment returns with a relatively low level of volatility

(below 8% over a business cycle).

London & Capital Global Conservative Fixed Income Fund - The investment objective is to seek to provide

absolute growth through a highly diversified portfolio of investments in global fixed income securities, investing in

government bonds and corporate bonds with the aim of producing investment returns with a relatively low level of

volatility (below 5% over a business cycle).

London & Capital Global Growth Fund - The investment objective is to seek to provide growth through

investments in a full range of global equity, fixed income instruments and collective investment schemes.

London & Capital Global Growth Fixed Income Fund - The investment objective is to seek to provide absolute

growth through investments in a full range of global growth fixed income securities including, higher yielding

corporate bonds with the aim of producing investment returns with a relatively high level of volatility (below 10%

over a business cycle). It is envisaged that an important source of potential rise in the Sub-Fund’s Net Asset Value

will be through capital appreciation of the Sub-Fund, on top of the income stream generated by the coupons (or

annual interest) on the bonds. "Absolute" in this context refers to the strategies' ability to use financial derivative

instruments to protect the capital value of the Sub-Fund during periods of high market volatility.

London & Capital Global Star Equity Fund - The investment objective is to seek to provide growth through

investments in a full range of global equities.

London & Capital Global Balanced Fund - The investment objective is to seek to provide growth through

investments in a full range of global equity, fixed income instruments and collective investment schemes.

Principal Asset Allocation Fund - The investment objective is to seek to achieve a positive return in all market

conditions over a three-year period.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted by the Company are as follows:

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2014 and International

Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union (the “EU”).

Accounting convention

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention except for

the inclusion of financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

Accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements,

estimates and assumptions that effect the application of policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,

income and expense.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are

believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about

the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may

differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are

recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the

revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. There were no significant estimates

used in measuring the fair value of investments at the financial year end date of 31 December 2020 and

31 December 2019.

Offsetting financial assets and liabilities

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

there is a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts (which are not contingent on a future event),

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

New standards, amendments and interpretations effective after 1st January 2020

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for all financial periods

beginning on or after 1 January 2020.

Those standards, amendments and interpretations considered included:

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

New standards, amendments and interpretations effective after 1st January 2020 (Continued)

The adoption of the above standards as of 1 January 2020 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial

statements.

New standards effective on or after 1st January 2021 do not have any impact on the Company's financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and bank overdrafts. Cash balances

held as collateral is held in relation to the derivatives contracts held by the Company for investment transactions

that have not settled at the date of the financial statements and the amount of cash required by the brokers to hold as

collateral for trading. All cash balances are accounted for in the Statement of Financial Position. For further details

of Cash and cash equivalents please refer to note 5.

Foreign Currencies

Securities transactions are recorded in the financial statements on the trade date of the transaction and translated

into the functional currency of the Sub-Fund at the exchange rate prevailing at the close of business on the trade

date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of

the Sub-Fund at the exchange rates ruling at the financial year end date. Non-monetary foreign currency

denominated assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are translated into the functional currency of the

Sub-Fund at the date the fair values are determined. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation and

realised gains and losses from trading activities are recognised through profit or loss in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income for the financial year.

Items included in the Company’s financial statements are measured using the primary economic environment in

which the respective Sub-Fund operates (“the functional currency”). The presentational currency of the Company

is United States Dollar. If indicators of the primary economic environment are mixed, then management uses its

judgement to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the

underlying transactions, events and conditions.

NAV of any individual Sub-Fund.

Financial instruments

(i) ClassificationFinancial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, in accordance with IFRS 9, comprises:

• Financial instruments held-for-trading are those that the Company principally holds for the purpose of short-

term profit taking. These include equities, investments in bonds and warrants, swaps, futures, forward foreign

exchange contracts and swaps.

Financial assets that are classified as receivables consist of trade, other receivables and other assets. Financial

liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss include trade and other payables and financial liabilities

which arise on Redeemable Participating Shares.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial instruments (Continued)

(ii) RecognitionThe Company recognises financial assets and financial liabilities on the trade date, being the date it commits to

purchase the instruments.

From this date any gains and losses which arise from changes in fair value of the financial assets or financial

liabilities are recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(iii) MeasurementFinancial instruments categorised at fair value through profit or loss are measured initially at fair value, with

transaction costs for such instruments being recognised directly in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

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 liabilities which arise from the Redeemable Participating Shares issued by the Company are carried at the

redemption amount which represents the shareholders right to a residual interest in the Company’s assets.

(iv) Fair value measurement principlesIFRS 13 defines fair value as 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. The fair value of financial instruments

including equities, bonds, warrants, swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts are based on their quoted

market prices at the year end date without any deduction for estimated future selling costs. Financial assets and

liabilities are priced at their last traded prices, mid price or settlement price. Swap contracts are valued using prices

as provided by the broker. IFRS 13 allows the use of mid-market pricing or other pricing conventions (including

last traded price and settlement price) that are used by market participants as a practical expedient for the exit price.

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

traded financial instruments, the fair value of the instrument is estimated using valuation techniques, including use

of recent arm’s length market transactions, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is

substantially the same, discounted cash flow techniques, option pricing models or any other valuation technique

that was considered to provide a reliable estimate of prices obtained in actual market transactions.

(v) DerecognitionThe Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset

expired or it transferred the financial asset and the transfer qualified for derecognition in accordance with IFRS 9.

The Company uses the ‘weighted average cost’ method to determine the realised gains and losses on derecognition,

except for the Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund and Calamos Global Convertible Fund which uses the ‘first in

first out’ method as a result of the legal requirements of a merger for the fund to maintain operational consistency

with the fund prior to the merger.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract was discharged, cancelled or

expired.

Financial instruments (Continued)

(vi) Specific instruments

Autocallable SwapsAn autocallable is defined as a payoff event generated by the achieved performance of an underlying investment.

At the predefined autocallable date the performance of the underlying index compared to the strike might trigger an

autocallable event where a coupon (the autocallable payment) was received by the Sub-Fund in accordance with

the supplement of the Sub-Fund. On the downside, if an autocallable event has not happened and the relevant index

or indices is below a pre-defined protection level on the maturity date, 1% capital will be lost for every 1% fall in

the worse or worst index between strike and maturity.

Interest Rate SwapsSwap-based derivatives are contracts in which counterparties exchange, over a period of time, one stream of cash

flows for another stream of cash flows. The streams are referred to as ‘legs’ of the swap agreement. The cash flows

are normally calculated with reference to a notional amount, which is often not exchanged by the counterparties.

The swap settlement is the difference between the fixed interest and variable interest. The fair value of derivatives

is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.

Equity Linked SwapsEquity linked swaps represent agreements that obligate two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified

intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an

underlying asset or otherwise determined notional amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each

other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Therefore amounts required for the future

satisfaction of the swap may be greater or less than the amount recorded. The fair value of derivatives is recognised

in the Statement of Financial Position.

Inflation SwapsAn inflation swap is a contract used to transfer inflation risk from one party to another through an exchange of cash

flows. In an inflation swap, one party pays a fixed rate cash flow on a notional principal amount, while the other

party pays a floating rate linked to an inflation index, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The party paying the

floating rate pays the inflation adjusted rate multiplied by the notional principal amount. The fair value of

derivatives is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.

Cross Currency SwapsA cross-currency swap is an over-the-counter derivative in a form of an agreement between two parties to exchange

interest payments and principal on loans.

In a cross-currency swap, a loan's interest payments and principal in one currency would be exchanged for an

equally valued loan and interest payments in a different currency. The fair value of derivatives is recognised in the

Statement of Financial Position.

Total Return SwapsIn a total return swap, the gross returns to be exchanged or "swapped" between the parties are calculated with

respect to a "notional amount", i.e. the return or increase in value of the index. The fair value of derivatives is

recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.

Volatility SwapsA volatility swap is an over-the-counter derivative in a form of forward contracts on future realised price volatility.

The fair value of derivatives is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial instruments (Continued)

(vi) Specific instruments (Continued)

Forward currency contractsA forward currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price

set at the time the contract is made. Forward currency contracts are valued by reference to the forward price at

which a new forward contract of the same size and maturity could be undertaken at the valuation date. The

unrealised gain or loss on open forward currency contracts is calculated as the difference between this forward

price and the contract rate and is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

OptionsOptions are financial derivative instruments that give the buyer, in exchange for a premium payment, the right, but

not the obligation, to either purchase from (call option) or sell to (put option) the writer a specified underlying

instrument at a specified price on or before a specified date. Both the realised and unrealised gain and loss in respect

of options contracts are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Futures ContractsA futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price on a

future date. Initial margin deposits are made in cash upon entering into futures contracts. During the financial year

the Company traded futures contracts, changes in the value of the contracts are recognised as unrealised gains or

losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s

trading. Variation margin payments are made or received, depending on whether unrealised losses or gains are

incurred. When the contract is closed or expires, the Company records a realised gain or loss equal to the difference

between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the company’s basis in the contract.

Swap Interest

Swap interest arises when counterparties within a swap agreement agree to swap their interest payments. Interest

rate, currency and other swaps can be used to enable the Sub-Fund to gain exposure to securities, currencies or

indices. Swap interest received is accounted for as income and swap interest paid is accounted for as an expense in

the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Income

Dividend income is recorded gross of any non-reclaimable withholding taxes suffered on an ex-date basis. Deposit

interest is accounted for as it accrues on an effective interest basis. Interest income is recognised in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income using the effective yield method. Other income comprises of interest income received on

swaps and other miscellaneous income received.

Capital Gains Tax & Withholding Tax

Realised gains on disposals of assets of the Funds may be subject to capital gains tax imposed by the assets’ country

of origin. Tax on such realised gains is recognised as a tax expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Capital Gains Tax & Withholding Tax (Continued)

The Company may be liable to taxes (including withholding taxes) in countries other than Ireland on dividend,

interest income earned and capital gains arising on its investments. The Company may not be able to benefit from

a reduction in the rate of such foreign tax by virtue of the double taxation treaties between Ireland and other

countries. The Company may not, therefore, be able to reclaim any foreign withholding tax suffered by it in

particular countries. Income that is subject to such tax is recognised gross of the taxes and the corresponding

withholding tax is recognised as tax expense.

Expenses

Expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis.

Redeemable Participating Shares

The Company classifies financial instruments issued as financial liabilities or equity instruments in accordance

with the substance of the contractual terms of the instruments. The Company has several classes of shares for issue.

The Redeemable Participating Shares issued by the Company provides investors with the right to require

redemption for cash at a value proportionate to the investor’s share in the Company’s Net Assets at the redemption

date and also in the event of the Company’s liquidation and as such are classified as financial liabilities.

The NAV per share is calculated by dividing the total Net Assets by the number of shares in issue.

Portfolio 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 financial liability. Transaction costs are included within the net

realised and unrealised gain/(loss) on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. For certain

instrument types, such as derivatives, transaction costs are not easily separately identifiable and in some cases these

costs have not been included in the transaction costs as disclosed in Note 8. Transaction costs that are not easily

identifiable will be included as part of the cost of the instrument.

Formation and Organisation Costs

In the event that new Sub-Funds are created within the Company, the formation and organisation costs relating to

each new Sub-Fund, as determined by the Directors, will be charged to the new Sub-Fund and amortised over a

period of five financial years in the NAV calculations. However, in accordance with IFRS these costs will be

written off as charged in the financial statements.

Closure Costs

In the event that a Sub-Fund terminates during the financial year, the Company will accrue an amount for estimated

closure costs associated with the winding up of the Sub-Fund in the final NAV calculation.

Deferred Subscription Charges

The PAAF shareholders of Class C GBP, Class C USD, Class C EUR, Class C PLN and Class C CZK Shares will

be charged a form of subscription charge (a "Deferred Subscription Charge") of 5% of the amount which they

invest in Class C Shares.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Deferred Subscription Charges (Continued)

The Deferred Subscription Charge shall be payable in full to the relevant appointed distributor in respect of the

Shares at the time of investment.

While the Deferred Subscription Charge shall be paid out of the Fund at the time of investment, the Shareholder's

subscription will not be affected and gains or losses in relation to the value of Shareholders' Shares will be

accounted for as if the full amount of the Shareholder's investment remained in the Fund.

The Deferred Subscription Charge will be deducted from the relevant Shareholder's Class C subscription proceeds.

The Deferred Subscription Charge will be applied over a period of five years. If a Class C Shareholder redeems

their shareholding prior to the expiration of this five year period, then the balance of the 5% Deferred Subscription

Charge that has not been charged, will be deducted from the relevant redemption proceeds distributed to that

Shareholder. The Deferred Subscription Charge is included in other fees and expenses within the Statement of

Comprehensive Income.

For the purposes of calculating the value of any deductions on Class C investments, at the point of redemption, all

share transactions are evaluated on a first in, first out basis.

On the fifth anniversary of any (still active) Class C Share subscription the 5% fee initially paid on or following the

original investment date, would have been fully absorbed via the amortisation process per the daily Net Asset

Value calculation process for the Fund. At this point in time, the current value of the relevant Class C shareholding

will be ascertained and converted on behalf of the Shareholder, into Class B Shares of the equivalent value.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

When available, the Company measures the fair value of an instrument using quoted prices in an active market for

that instrument. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available and represent

actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. These instruments are included within

level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and include bonds admitted and actively traded on an official stock exchange

listing.

Bonds, other than those listed and actively traded on an official stock exchange, are valued by independent pricing

services based on pricing models that evaluate the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask price. The

models also take into consideration data received from active market makers and brokerdealers, yield curves, and

the spread over comparable bond issues. The spreads change daily in response to market conditions and are

generally obtained from the new issue market and broker dealer sources. To the extent that these inputs are

observable, the values of these bonds are categorised within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are calculated by reference to current exchange

rates for contracts with similar maturity and risk profiles.

Page 282: UCITS Annual Report - calamos.com

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS (Continued)

The determination of fair value for financial assets and liabilities for which there is no observable market price

requires valuation techniques. IFRS establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that

maximises the use of observable inputs and minimises the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most

observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing

the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs

reflect the Company management’s assumptions, made in good faith, about the inputs market participants would

use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. These

include investments which are valued using cost price, stale price or a price which is more than a week prior to the

valuation date.

The fair value hierarchy is categorised into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are

observable, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market

participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may include price

information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. A financial

instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the

fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant

judgement by the Company.

The Company considers observable data to be that market data which 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. The categorisation of a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing

transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Company’s perceived risk of that

instrument.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-

specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s assumptions

are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market

dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many

securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

Each Sub-Fund is exposed to market risk (including market price risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk),

credit risk and liquidity risk arising from the financial instruments it holds. The overall risk management

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

financial performance. Each type of risk is discussed in turn and qualitative information is provided when relevant

to provide an understanding of the risk management methods used by the Investment Managers, along with

quantitative analysis to give an understanding of the extent of exposure to risks.

General Risk Management Process

The Company maintains both Value at Risk (VaR) and the Commitment Approach as the methods to calculate the

global exposure in accordance with the UCITS regulations as different Sub-Funds may use different methods.

The Company’s risk management process is managed by the Board and the decision was taken to appoint a

Designated Person with responsibility for Fund Risk Management effective from 7th October 2015. The

Designated Person is tasked with assisting the Board in providing leadership, direction and oversight of the overall

Company risk appetite, risk tolerance and investment risk management framework. The Designated Person is

authorised to investigate any matter within their remit, to seek any information from any of the Investment

Managers which is necessary to enable the Designated Person to satisfactorily discharge their duties and to make

recommendations to the Board where action or improvement is needed.

The Board has overall responsibility for Investment Risk. The role of the Designated Person for Investment Risk

includes the following:

1. recommending the overall risk appetite and tolerance of each Sub-Fund for approval;

2. reviewing the risk framework and approving Sub-Fund risk policies, standards and limits within the overall

appetite and tolerance for each Sub-Fund;

3. monitoring compliance with approved risk tolerance levels and policies and the resultant action in respect of

UCITS investment restrictions and individual Sub-Fund investment policy breaches;

4. reviewing each Sub-Fund’s material risk exposures; including market, credit, liquidity and regulatory risk;

5. reviewing the Sub-Fund’s stress testing and monitoring response to the results;

6. receiving notification of material breaches of investment limits and approving the proposed remedial action

where such cases are escalated to the Board and the Designated Person;

7. reviewing and providing confirmation that the disclosures made in the annual report on its activities, the risk

governance and related sections are fair, balanced and understandable and;

8. to produce an investment risk profile of all new potential Sub-Funds prior to approving the launch of such

Sub-Funds.

Governance

The Board will receive reporting from the Designated Person to the findings of any reviews of the Sub-Fund’s

investment risk and investment restrictions.

Each Sub-Fund has an individual risk management process.

Market Risk

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

changes in market prices and includes interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and “other price risks”, such as equity

and commodity risk.

Market Risk (Continued)

The market risk of the equity instruments held by the Company is typically managed through a portfolio approach

whereby an optimum level of diversity is ensured within its equity holdings across various industries in order to

minimise such market risk.

Price risk

Market price risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments i.e. bonds, equities and other investments or

its future cash flows, will fluctuate because of changes in market prices and includes currency risk and interest rate

risk. The Company’s market risk management strategy is driven by the investment objectives of each of the Sub-

Funds. The Sub-Funds are actively managed.

Atlantic House Defined Returns Fund, Atlantic House US Enhanced Equity Fund, Atlantic House Total Return

Fund, Principle Asset Allocation Fund and Causeway Defined Growth Fund are using the VaR approach and other

Sub-Funds are using Commitment approach to manage the market price risk.

Disclosures of Limitations of the Analysis

• Sensitivity analysis was based on historical data and could not take account of the fact that future market price

movements, correlations between markets and levels of market liquidity in conditions of market stress may

bore no relation to historical patterns.

• The market price risk information was a relative estimate of risk rather than a precise and accurate number.

• The market price risk information represented a hypothetical outcome and was not intended to be predictive.

• Future market conditions could have varied significantly from those experienced in the past.

Interest rate risk

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

changes in prevailing interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through its investments in

securities with floating rates of interest and its cash balances. High yield securities as an asset class have

traditionally been less sensitive to interest rate risk relative to other asset classes such as investment grade bonds.

However, when interest rates decline, the value of a Sub-Fund’s portfolio invested in fixed-rate obligations can be

expected to rise. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of a Sub- Fund’s portfolio investments in fixed-rate

obligations can be expected to decline. To mitigate the negative impact of a rising interest rate environment, the

Investment Manager manages the Company’s interest rate risk on a daily basis in accordance with policies and

procedures in place.

The interest rate risk in relation to cash holdings is not regarded as a material risk. Other than the Sub-Funds shown

in the following tables, the Company’s other Sub-Funds are not exposed to significant interest rate risk as the

majority of the Company’s financial assets are equity shares and other instruments which neither pay interest nor

have a maturity date.

The sensitivity analysis below is based on a change in one variable while holding all other variables constant. In

practice all other variables are unlikely to remain constant, and changes in some of the variables may be correlated.

In addition as the analysis is based on historical data it cannot take account of future rate movements. The market

price information represents a hypothetical outcome and is not intended to be predictive.

equal and opposite effect on the financial statements, assuming that all other variables remained constant.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument may fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange

rates. Each Sub-Fund invests in securities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of

that Sub-Fund. Accordingly, the value of the Company’s assets might be affected favourably or unfavourably by

fluctuations in currency rates and therefore the Company may be subject to foreign exchange risks.

A strengthening of 10% of the relevant Sub-Fund’s functional currency against the currencies in the above tables

would have resulted in losses to the amounts shown in the Sensitivity Analysis column. A weakening of the

functional currency against these currencies would have resulted in an equal but opposite effect.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk represents the possibility that the Company may not be able to rapidly adjust the size of its

investment position in times of high volatility and financial stress at a reasonable price and possible redemption

restrictions from underlying investments. The main liabilities of the Company are the redemption of any shares that

shareholders may wish to redeem, bank overdrafts and cash collateral.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS (Continued)

Liquidity Risk (Continued)

The Company is exposed to daily cash redemptions of Redeemable Participating Shares. Substantial voluntary

redemptions of shares by shareholders within a limited period of time could require a Sub-Fund to liquidate

interests in securities sooner than would otherwise be desirable. Regardless of the period of time in which

redemptions occur, the resulting reduction in the Net Asset Value of a Sub-Fund and thus in its equity base, could

make it more difficult for a Sub-Fund to diversify its holdings and achieve its investment objective. Under the

Articles, if redemption requests on any Dealing Day equal or exceed 10% of the Net Asset Value of a Sub-Fund in

issue on that Dealing Day, the Directors may limit redemptions to 10% of Net Asset Value on that Dealing Day as

they deem necessary in their sole discretion. Any redemptions in excess of 10% of Net Asset Value may be held

over to the next Dealing Day where they will be effected with priority over any new redemptions received. All the

Company’s financial liabilities fall due within one month.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or counterparty would be unable or unwilling to meet a commitment that it has

entered into and might cause the Company to incur financial losses. The Company is exposed to credit risk on

parties with whom it trades and would also have to bear the risk of settlement default.

The carrying amounts of financial assets as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments best represent the maximum

credit risk exposure at the financial year end.

The Company could be exposed to credit risk on cash held with the Depositary and other brokers. The Company

monitors its risk by monitoring the credit quality and financial positions of RBC Investor Services Bank S.A and

counterparties.

As at 31st December 2020 RBC Investor Services Bank S.A. has a credit rating of AA- (2019: AA-) with S&P’s.

The Investment Managers regularly review concentrations of credit risk.

At the reporting date, the Sub-Funds’ financial assets exposed to credit risk amounted to the following:

Credit Risk (Continued)

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event that counterparties fail to perform their obligations in

relation to each recognised financial asset, other than derivatives, was the carrying value of those assets as reflected

in the Statement of Financial Position.

The most significant exposure to credit risk for the Sub-Funds arises from investment in debt instruments. The

Sub-Funds are invested in bonds taking into account and monitoring the credit quality of the issuer.

As at the reporting date of 31st December 2020 and 31st December 2019, the Sub-Funds’ were using the following

Efficient Portfolio Management (Continued)

Each Sub-Fund may also utilise derivative instruments for investment purposes and details of such instruments

used and the specific strategies for which such instruments are employed in this context will be set out in the

applicable Supplement.

“Efficient Portfolio Management”, for these purposes, means an investment decision involving transactions that

are entered into for one or more of the following specific aims:

• a reduction of risk;

• a reduction of cost and;

• the generation of additional capital or income for the Fund with an appropriate level of risk, taking into

account the risk profile of a Sub-Fund and the general provisions of the UCITS Regulations.

The Company employs a risk management process which enables it to accurately manage, monitor and measure the

risks attached to derivative positions and details of this process have been provided to the Central Bank. The

Company does not utilise derivative positions which have not been included in the risk management process until

such time as a revised risk management process has been submitted and cleared by the Central Bank.

The Company provides on request to shareholders supplementary information relating to the risk management

methods employed by the Company including the quantitative limits that are applied and any recent developments

in the risk and yield characteristics of the main categories of investments of the relevant Sub-Fund.

12. NAV RECONCILIATION

The net asset value in the financial statements as at 31st December 2020 differs from that included in the published

valuations as at 31st December 2020. The difference is due to the change in methodology in accounting for

formation costs as prescribed by IFRS, and the methodology indicated in the most recent Prospectus. This does not

have any effect on the published or dealing Net Asset Values of any of the Sub-Funds and all amounts are

immaterial in nature. The above mentioned NAVs are the reported NAVs.

13. DIVIDEND POLICY (Continued)

It is the current intention of the Directors to declare dividends in respect of the distributing Class A Shares. Such

dividends in respect of Class A Shares, at the sole discretion of the Directors, may be paid out of net income

together with the net realised and unrealised capital gains (net of realised and unrealised losses) of the Fund. Such

dividends may also be declared out of the capital of the Fund. Such dividends will usually be declared semi-

annually on the last Business Day in May and November (or at a time and frequency to be determined at the

discretion of the Directors following prior notification to the Shareholders). Dividends will be automatically

reinvested in additional Shares of the same Class unless the Shareholder has specifically elected on the Application

Form or subsequently notified the Administrator in writing of its requirement to be paid in cash sufficiently in

advance of the declaration of the next distribution payment.

For London & Capital Sub-Funds the Company may, at its discretion, declare dividends on any class of shares in

Shareholders specifically request that dividends be re-invested by subscription for additional Shares of the same

Class. Additional Shares will be issued to Shareholders on the same day if it is a Dealing Day, or if not, on the next

Dealing Day at a price calculated in the same way as for other issues of the relevant Class on this date but without

incurring any subscription fee. There is no minimum of such further Shares which may be so subscribed.

Class A1 Shares, Class A2 Shares (GBP Institutional), Class A3 Shares, Class A4 Shares (USD Institutional) and

Class A5 Shares (Euro Institutional) are accumulation shares and therefore carry no right to any dividend. The net

income attributable to the Shares shall be retained within the Fund and the value of the Shares will rise accordingly.

For Semper Total Return Fund the Class I (Inc) Shares and Class C Shares are intended to be distributing Shares

and as such the Company may, at its discretion, declare dividends on the Class I (Inc) Shares and Class C Shares in

the Fund quarterly as at 1 March, 1 June, 1 September, 1 December and/or at such other periodic intervals as shall

be determined by the Company, and notified to Shareholders at that time. Such distributions made from the Class I

(Inc) Shares and Class C Shares may be declared out of the capital of the Fund. Such distributions, when declared,

will be paid by electronic transfer within two months thereafter.

The Class A Shares and Class B Shares are accumulating Classes and therefore, it is not currently intended for the

Company to declare and distribute dividends to the Shareholders in each Class. Any income and earnings and gains

on these Classes will be accumulated and reinvested on behalf of Shareholders.

For Causeway Defined Growth Fund the Class A Shares, Class A (Hedged) Shares, Class B Shares and Class B

November 4 and February 4 and/or at such other periodic intervals as shall be determined by the Company, and

within two months thereafter.

For Calamos Global Convertible Fund, it is not intended that dividends be declared and distributed in the

Accumulating Shares. Any income and earnings and gains on these Classes will be accumulated and reinvested on

14. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR (Continued)

COVID 19Since early January 2020, global financial markets have been monitoring and reacting to the Coronavirus (Covid-

19) that is believed to have originated in Wuhan, China. As at late March 2021, the virus has infected over

117 million people, across 185 countries, with at least 2.6 million having succumbed to the virus. While

containment efforts may have helped to slow the growth of the virus, global financial markets reacted sharply to the

news that the virus was continuing to spread at the start of March 2020, as well as concerns regarding the larger

economic impact this may have on a global scale. However, this was followed by a remarkable rebound with

notable public policy intervention by governments globally to reinstate investor confidence in the financial markets

while majority of countries re-introduced lockdown measures after a short easing in the summer. The fight and

hope against Covid-19 is now placed on vaccine development which is moving at record speed with more than

170 different vaccines in trials and at least 4 vaccines approved for global roll out. Since December 2020, there has

been vaccination rolled out globally with Israel, the UK and US among the countries ahead of the race to vaccinate

their nation. The eventual impact on the global economy and markets will largely depend upon the scale and the

duration of the outbreak which at this point is not fully known.

The GemCap Investment Funds (Ireland) Plc Board has been monitoring the outbreak as markets reacted to the

pandemic with increased volatility and uncertainty. Since the onset of the pandemic the Board has also noted the

operational risks that are posed to the Company and its service providers due to global and local movement

restrictions that have been enacted by various governments. The Board will continue to monitor this situation. The

Gemini Capital Management (Ireland) Limited team continues to monitor this situation closely on behalf of the

Company and has put in place measures to safeguard its ability to provide services to the Company and each

Sub-Fund documented in its business continuity plan, supported by guidance from the WHO as well as

international and local government agencies and health authorities. Staff are able to work from home effectively

and there is no impact on the business as usual. At this time there is also close and ongoing communication with the

Investment Managers. There were not any significant net redemptions from the Sub-Funds during the year or since

the year end. All redemptions in the Sub-Funds have been met fully and in a timely manner. The Sub-Funds

continue to be managed in accordance with their investment objectives, investment policies and risk profiles.

There were no other significant events during the financial year to note.

15. TAXATION

The Company will be regarded as resident for tax purposes in Ireland if it is centrally managed and controlled in

Ireland. It is intended that the Directors of the Company will conduct the affairs of the Company in a manner that

will allow for this.

The Directors have been advised that the Company is an investment undertaking within the meaning of

Section 739B of the Taxes Consolidation Act (“TCA”) and therefore is not chargeable to Irish tax on its relevant

income or relevant gains so long as the Company is resident for tax purposes in Ireland only. On this basis, under

current Irish law and practice it should generally not be chargeable to Irish tax on its income and gains. However,

Irish tax may still arise on occurrence of a “Chargeable Event” in respect of the Company.

Shareholders, other than Irish residents, who complete a declaration confirming that they are neither Irish residents

nor ordinarily residents, will not be liable to Irish tax on income or gains arising to them from their investment in

the Company and no tax will be deducted on distributions from the Company or payments by the Company in

respect of a redemption or other disposal of their investment.

In the absence of an appropriate declaration, the Company will be liable to Irish tax on the occurrence of a

chargeable event.
