Commerzbank Market Neutral Europe

ANNUAL REPORT AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2020

CUSTODIAN: ASSET MANAGEMENT AND DISTRIBUTOR: Annual report Market Neutral Europe

Activity report for the reporting period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020

Investment objectives and investment policy to achieve the investment objectives The Fund is composed of at least 51% European equities. The investment objective is to achieve positive returns in the medium term from the Fund’s long-equity positions and its short positions in equity index futures. A market-neutral investment strategy is to be pursued so that the return is not directly correlated with the equity markets in which the Fund engages. In this respect, the Fund aims to achieve a portfolio beta of zero over a normal economic cycle, i.e. the Fund’s portfolio should develop independently of the market. The Fund is to be invested in equities that can be classified as undervalued in accordance with the quantitative models used. In doing so, investments can be made in companies of any size. The selection of equities for the long component of the investment portfolio can be made using a combination of momentum, value, quality, carry, size, low volatility and other criteria.

In 2020, asset management responsibilities were transferred to Universal-Investment-Luxembourg S.A.. Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt am Main was utilised as a consultant. At the end of the reporting period, the Market Neutral Europe Fund had invested 95% of its net assets in equities. In order to achieve the market-neutral investment strategy, derivative products were used in hedging transactions. Foreign-exchange futures were used on an ongoing basis to hedge the foreign-currency positions arising from the equity exposures. At the end of the reporting period, net cash holdings were approx. 4.3%. From a geographical perspective, 47% of the Fund’s single value equity positions were allocated to countries within the European Monetary Union, while 53% of the equity positions were allocated to countries outside the eurozone. With 19% of all equity positions held in the Fund, the United Kingdom had the largest country-specific equity exposure at the end of the reporting period. From a sector-specific perspective, finance (21%), industry (16%), consumer durables (14%) and consumer non-durables (13%) dominated the Fund, with a cumulative exposure of 64% of the equity positions.

Major risks

General market price risks The price or market performance of financial products depends in particular on the development of the capital markets, which in turn is influenced by the general situation of the global economy and the economic and political conditions in the respective countries. The general development of securities prices, especially on a stock exchange, can also be affected by irrational factors, such as moods, opinions, and rumours. Developments resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic are currently a particular aspect of uncertainty in terms of price or market value developments.

Equity risks The purchase of shares may involve special market risks and corporate risks. The value of shares does not always reflect the actual value of the company. There may therefore be large and rapid fluctuations in these values if market conditions and the assessments of market participants regarding the value of these investments change. In addition, the rights from shares are always satisfied subordinate to the claims of all creditors of the issuer. Shares are therefore generally subject to greater fluctuations in value than, for example, fixed-income securities.

Risks associated with target funds The risks of the investment fund shares acquired for the Fund are closely related to the risks of the assets contained in these Funds. Some target funds with a focus on bonds have significant interest rate risks and risks of counterparty default, while target funds with a focus on equities are more exposed to market fluctuations. However, a broad diversification of the investment fund can help to reduce cluster risks. The ongoing monitoring of the individual target funds also aims to systematically limit the aforementioned individual risks.

Risks in connection with derivative transactions The Company may conduct transactions with derivatives for the account of the investment fund both for hedging purposes and for investment purposes. The hedging transactions serve to reduce the overall risk of the investment fund, but may also reduce the chances of returns. Buying and selling options or entering into futures contracts or swaps is associated with the following risks: - Changes in the price of the underlying instrument can reduce the value of an option right or futures contract to the point where it is worthless. The Investment Fund can also suffer losses from changes in the value of the assets underlying a swap. - Closing out a position with an offsetting transaction, when necessary, generates costs. - The value of the Investment Fund can be more strongly influenced by the leverage effect of options than would be the case if the underlying instruments were acquired directly. - The purchase of options entails the risk that the price of the underlying instrument might not change as expected, leading to expiration of the option without exercise and consequent loss of the option premium paid by the Investment Fund. When options are sold, there is a risk that the Investment Fund may be obliged to accept/deliver assets at a price that differs from the current market price. - With futures contracts too, there is a risk that the Investment Fund will suffer losses as a result of unexpected changes in the market price on expiration.

Currency risks If assets of an Investment Fund are invested in currencies other than the Fund currency, the Investment Fund receives income, repayments and proceeds from such investments in that currency. If the value of this currency falls as compared to the Fund currency, the value of the Investment Fund is reduced.

Fund net income The main sources of the negative disposal result during the reporting period were realised losses from the sale of futures on equity indices.

The Fund recorded performance of -1.20%1 during the reporting period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020.

Specification of procedures for the valuation of assets

Valuation

The procedures outlined below for the valuation of assets take account of any market effects resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. No additional valuation adjustments were necessary.

For currencies, shares, bonds and derivatives that can be traded on a stock exchange or another organised market or can be included within this category, the last available trading price will be taken as a basis in accordance with Section 27 of the KARBV.

In accordance with Section 29 of the KARBV, the current values are used as the basis for investment fund units, and the par value or redemption amount is used as the basis for bank balances and liabilities.

Assets that are not admitted to trading on a stock exchange or on another organised market, or included in the regulated market or OTC trading of a stock exchange, or for which no tradeable price is available, are valued pursuant to Section 28 KARBV in conjunction with Section 168(3) of the German Capital Investment Code (KAGB) at a market value that is reasonable upon careful estimation in accordance with suitable valuation models, taking the current market conditions into account. Market value is considered to be the amount for which the asset concerned could be exchanged in a transaction between knowledgeable, willing and independent counterparties .

Remuneration system of the capital management company

Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH is subject to the supervisory requirements applicable to capital management companies in relation to the design of its remuneration system. The company has regulated the detailed design in remuneration guidelines, the aim of which is to ensure a sustainable remuneration system and to prevent false incentives to enter into excessive risks.

The capital management company’s remuneration system is reviewed at least once a year by Universal-Investment’s Remuneration Committee with regard to its suitability and compliance with all legal requirements. It comprises fixed and variable elements of the remuneration. The definition of bandwidths for the total target compensation ensures that there is no significant dependency on the variable remuneration and that there is an appropriate ratio of variable to fixed remuneration. Special rules apply to the management of the capital management company and employees whose activities have a significant impact on the overall risk profile of the capital management company and the investment assets it manages (Risk Taker). As a result, 40% of the variable remuneration is deferred over a period of three years for these risk-taking employees. The deferred portion of the compensation is risk-based during this period, i.e. it may be reduced in the event of negative performance contributions by the employee or the capital management company as a whole. At the end of each year during the waiting period, the deferred portion of the remuneration is vested pro rata and paid out on the respective payment date.

Insofar as portfolio management is outsourced, no employee remuneration is paid directly from the fund.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To: Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH, Frankfurt am Main

Audit opinion

We have audited the annual report of the Commerzbank Market Neutral Europe Fund, which comprises the activity report for the financial year from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020, the balance sheet and statement of assets as at 31/12/2020, the statement of operations, the statement of appropriation, the statement of changes in the value of the Fund for the financial year from 01/01/2020 to 31/12/2020 and the comparative overview for the last three financial years, the statement of transactions concluded during the reporting period to the extent that they are no longer included in the statement of assets, and the notes.

In our opinion, based on the findings of our audit, the accompanying annual report complies in all material respects with the provisions of the German Investment Code (KAGB) and the relevant European regulations and allows a comprehensive view of the actual circumstances and performance of the investment fund in accordance with the provisions of the German KAGB and the relevant European regulations.

Basis for the audit opinion

We conducted our audit of the annual report in accordance with Section 102 of the KAGB and generally accepted German standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Our responsibility under these rules and principles is further described in the section “Auditor’s responsibility for the audit of the annual report” of our report. We are independent of Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH in accordance with German commercial law and professional regulations and have fulfilled our other German professional obligations in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the annual report.

Responsibility of the legal representatives for the annual report

The legal representatives of Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH are responsible for the preparation of the annual report, which complies in all material respects with the provisions of the German KAGB and the relevant European regulations, and for ensuring that the annual report provides a comprehensive picture of the actual circumstances and performance of the investment fund in accordance with the provisions of the German KAGB and the relevant European regulations. Furthermore, the legal representatives are responsible for the internal controls that they have determined, in accordance with these regulations, to be necessary to enable the preparation of the annual report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the annual report, the legal representatives are responsible for including in their reporting any events, decisions and factors that may significantly influence the further development of the investment fund. This means, inter alia, that the legal representatives must assess the continuation of the investment fund by Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft when preparing the annual report and are responsible for disclosing facts relating to the continuation of the investment fund, if relevant.

Responsibility of the auditor for the audit of the annual report

Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to express an opinion on whether the annual report is consistent with our audit opinion.

Sufficient assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee, that an audit conducted in accordance with Section 102 of the KAGB and generally accepted German standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) will always reveal a material misstatement. Misstatements can result from violations or inaccuracies and are considered material if it is reasonably expected that they will affect, individually or collectively, users’ financial decisions made on the basis of this liquidation report.

Page 28 Annual report Commerzbank Market Neutral Europe

During the audit, we exercise our best judgement and maintain a critical attitude. In addition

- we identify and evaluate the risks of material misstatement, whether intentional or not, in the annual report, plan and perform audit procedures in response to those risks, and obtain audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. The risk that material misstatements will not be detected is higher for violations than for inaccuracies, as violations may involve fraudulent collusion, falsification, intentional incompleteness, misrepresentation, or the removal of internal controls.

- we gain an understanding of the internal control system relevant to the audit of the annual report in order to plan audit procedures that are appropriate under the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of this system used by Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH.

- we evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies used by the legal representatives of Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH in preparing the annual report and the reasonableness of the estimates and related disclosures presented by the legal representatives.

- we draw conclusions on the basis of audit evidence obtained as to whether there is any material uncertainty in connection with events or circumstances that could cast significant doubt on the continued existence of the investment fund by Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH. If we conclude that there is a material uncertainty, we are required to draw attention in our report to the relevant disclosures in the annual report or, if the disclosures are inappropriate, to modify our opinion. We draw our conclusions on the basis of the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our audit opinion. However, future events or circumstances may mean that the investment fund will not be continued by Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH.

- we evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual report, including the disclosures and whether the annual report presents the underlying transactions and events in such a way that the annual report provides a comprehensive picture of the actual circumstances and performance of the investment fund in accordance with the provisions of the German KAGB and the relevant European regulations.

We discuss with those responsible for monitoring, among other things, the planned scope and scheduling of the audit and significant findings of the audit, including any deficiencies in the internal control system that we identify during our audit.
