Principal activities The ICAV was originally incorporated as an umbrella investment company with segregated liability between sub-funds on 8 July 2010. The ICAV converted from an umbrella investment company to an Irish collective asset-management vehicle pursuant to the Irish Collective Asset-Management Vehicles Act 2015 (the “ICAV Act”) on 26 July 2017. The ICAV is authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland in accordance with the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011, (as amended) (the “UCITS Regulations”) and is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland in accordance with the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2019 (the “Central Bank UCITS Regulations”). The financial statements comply with the UCITS Regulations and with the Central Bank UCITS Regulations.

These financial statements relate to WARF only. Segregated liability The ICAV is an umbrella fund with segregated liability between sub-funds. Directors’ responsibilities The Directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and financial statements, in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The ICAV Act, UCITS Regulations and Central Bank UCITS Regulations require the Directors to prepare an annual report and financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they have elected to prepare the annual report and financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union and applicable laws. The financial statements are required to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Fund at the end of the financial year and of the increase/decrease in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable participating shares in the Fund for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to: • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; • make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; • state whether IFRS have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements and ensure that they contain the additional information required by the ICAV Act; • assess the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and • use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Fund or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 5 WINTON UCITS FUNDS ICAV - WINTON ABSOLUTE RETURN FUTURES FUND Directors’ Report (continued) Audited Financial Statements For the year ended 29 February 2020 Directors’ responsibilities (continued) The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the assets, liabilities, financial position and increase/decrease in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable participating shares in the Fund and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the ICAV Act, the UCITS Regulations and the Central Bank UCITS Regulations. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Fund. In this regard they have entrusted the assets of the Fund to a depositary for safe-keeping. They are responsible for such internal controls as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. The Directors are also responsible for preparing a Directors’ Report that complies with the requirements of the ICAV Act. Accounting Records The Directors ensure compliance with the ICAV’s obligation to maintain adequate accounting records for the Fund by appointing competent persons to be responsible for them. Since 1 March 2019, the accounting records have been kept by Citco Fund Services (Ireland) Limited, an experienced third party Administrator, at Custom House Plaza, Block 6 International Financial Services

  • $3 Trillion Hedge Fund Industry a Mirage
    $3 Trillion Hedge Fund Industry a Mirage Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Various financial media outlets and data providers, including HedgeNordic, have recently talked about the hedge fund industry capital hitting a new record due to strong investor inflows in the second quarter of the year. While the industry’s assets under management are often estimated to be in excess of $3 trillion, executives at London-based hedge fund Winton Group suspect the industry is much smaller than people think. Winton executives have launched a review into the collective assets managed by the global hedge fund industry, with the review expected to challenge widely- accepted industry figures provided by a handful of data providers. For instance, hedge fund data provider HFR estimated that total industry capital increased to a record $3.1 trillion through mid-year. Data collected by peer data provider Preqin shows hedge fund industry capital stands at $3.4 trillion as of the end of June. “Our preliminary findings show that a $3tn industry – one characterized by a 2 and 20 fee model, low transparency, which is lightly regulated, illiquid, employs high leverage and makes extensive use of shorting – does not exist,” Jonathan Levy, the head of product research at Winton who leads the review,told news provider Financial News. The review is conducted internally by Winton’s research team and is anticipated to conclude this month. Computer-driven Winton was founded by David Harding in 1997 and is one the largest hedge funds in the world, with $29.3 billion in assets under management as of the end of June.
