REVIEW

For the year ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 171 underperforming the benchmark TOPIX Total Return Index which returned 196 in SGD terms

In the first half of year 2015 the Japanese stock market rallied strongly buoyed by domestic funds raising exposure to equities as well as Bank of Japan buying from its quantitative easing program while foreign investors were attracted by the changing attitudes of Japanese management towards greater corporate governance and shareholder returns Global liquidity remained abundant with the European Central Bank (ECB) launching its own quantitative easing as well as monetary loosening in China From June 2015 the market was spooked by the bursting of the Chinese stock market bubble together with a sharp decline in oil and commodity prices The one-off devaluation of the Chinese Yuan triggered a major global sell-off of emerging market currencies and a strengthening of the Japanese Yen The market rebounded strongly from October 2015 after China introduced more measures to boost its economy and the ECB signaled further quantitative easing measures impending However the ECBrsquos measures fell short of expectation while the US hiked interest rates as expected in December 2015 More importantly China introduced a new currency basket index to benchmark its currency against renewing fears of Yuan depreciation Japanrsquos economy remained sluggish throughout the year 2015 as seen in industrial production and corporate sentiment data The only bright spark came from inbound tourist spending where inbound visitors grew 47 and reached a record high 197 million in 2015

The Fundrsquos stock selection in medical technology stocks like Asahi Intecc and Sysmex smartphone plays like Murata Manufacturing and Alps Electric and other stocks like Pigeon Fuji Heavy Industries and Koito Industries contributed to performance The Fundrsquos underweight in top-performing sectors such as pharmaceuticals food telecoms and railways subtracted from performance

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

The global stock market ended the previous year 2015 in an uncertain environment where the US Federal Reserve started normalizing its monetary policy while the Chinese authorities began adjusting its foreign exchange policy amidst a weak economy signaling an inclination for a weaker currency At the same time oil price continued its downward spiral giving more evidence of a slowing global economy All these make for a difficult macro backdrop for stocks in 2016 We expect the US economy to remain robust despite likely further rate hikes and China to show further signs of recovery from the fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts

After holding off for the whole year of 2015 in January 2016 the Bank of Japan (BOJ) finally introduced a new measure of negative interest rates in addition to its quantitative and qualitative easing With this unprecedented move in Japan the outcome is difficult to predict However we believe the BOJ may be trying to place a floor to the recent yen strength and more measures may be forthcoming On the fiscal side we expect the government to focus on strengthening the economy and in turn support the stock market as we approach the Upper House elections in mid-2016 Finally we expect Japanese corporate management to continue strengthening their shareholder holder returns with higher dividend payouts and share buybacks likely to be forthcoming in the new fiscal year 2016 All in all the Japanese market remains an attractive proposition for investors

Our investment strategy is focused on bottom-up stock selection based on business fundamentals and long term earnings potential of companies We typically prefer globally-competitive companies that can ride on structural growth trends and companies that can grow through value-added products and services We like structural growth themes like factory automation where wage inflation and productivity needs drive demand for automation and auto-related industries where progress in advanced driver assistance systems is generating demand for more electronics and components In consumer-related areas we like consumer brands with quality and value-added products that can benefit from rising consumerism in emerging markets On the domestic front we expect demand from inbound tourism to be on a structural uptrend benefiting tourism-related industries

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

REVIEW

For the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 41 in SGD terms

During the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund benefitted from both fundamental factors and technical factors Chinarsquos economic growth continued to slow down as the transformation to consumption and services sector was not sufficient to offset the slowdown in industrial sectors

Producer Price Index (PPI) stayed in deflation for over 3 years driven by over-capacity in industrial sectors which continued to see weak domestic demand as fixed asset investments growth continued to slow down the biggest culprit being real estate investments To support infrastructure investments and to keep interest rates low to support reforms and lower average borrowing cost for enterprises Peoplersquos Bank of China (PBOC) cut interest rates in August 2015 and October 2015 and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) in October 2015 The weak economic fundamental as well as monetary easing supported bonds In addition the A-share equity rout which started in June 2015 turned domestic investorsrsquo sentiments towards equity and caused asset allocation to shift towards bonds Yields of government bonds declined while credit spreads of credit bonds also tightened

7

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

In 2016 Chinarsquos economy will continue to undergo structural deceleration The excess property inventory needs to go through destocking before property developers will restart residential housing construction The over-investment in the last decade left much excess capacity in the commodities sector which continued to experience falling prices and eroding margins leading to worsening credit quality among producing enterprises While we continue to see robust growth in retail sales and increasing contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from consumption and services sector these will not be sufficient to offset the slowdown in investment and manufacturing activity External demand weakness will likely continue for some time given the slowdown in Europe and Japan as well as the strong USD posing downside risk to US growth The economic weakness will put RMB on depreciation pressures The capital account liberalization might slow in periods of heightened depreciation and capital outflow pressures

China will try to arrest growth slowdown with a combination of fiscal easing tax incentives as well as monetary easing It is likely to boost investment growth most directly by pushing for more infrastructure projects and directing more long term funding towards such projects China will also continue to press ahead on painful economic reforms In particular there is increasing focus on ldquosupply-side reformsrdquo comprising reducing over-capacity destocking deleveraging and reducing cost This includes clearing excess property inventory in tier 3 and 4 cities hukou (household registration) reforms to encourage rural workers to migrate to cities as part of the overall plan for urbanization as well as shutting down excess steel mills coal mines and other industrial producers and diverting employees to other sectors The serious task of tackling overcapacity will be positive for improving the quality and sustainability of economic growth in the long run but may lead to further weakness in industrial activity in the process while the employment layoff from cutting overcapacity will also pose downside pressure to consumption Local government debt reforms will be accelerated through a bigger scale debt-swap programme next two years after a successful launch in 2015

The weak macro environment calls for continued accommodative monetary policy to support growth as well as various reforms The high average borrowing cost for enterprises also calls for lower interest rates and a more developed bond market to allow enterprises to conduct direct financing Interest rates have entered historically low levels in China with the start of 2016 but they remain higher than levels in most other major economies We expect the bond market to become more volatile in 2016 after the aggressive easing environment in 2015 but bonds as an asset class are likely to continue to benefit from the weak fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy We also expect to see more bond defaults in the China onshore market so our credit exposure is still focused on high quality credits

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

REVIEW

For the year ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 171 underperforming the benchmark TOPIX Total Return Index which returned 196 in SGD terms

In the first half of year 2015 the Japanese stock market rallied strongly buoyed by domestic funds raising exposure to equities as well as Bank of Japan buying from its quantitative easing program while foreign investors were attracted by the changing attitudes of Japanese management towards greater corporate governance and shareholder returns Global liquidity remained abundant with the European Central Bank (ECB) launching its own quantitative easing as well as monetary loosening in China From June 2015 the market was spooked by the bursting of the Chinese stock market bubble together with a sharp decline in oil and commodity prices The one-off devaluation of the Chinese Yuan triggered a major global sell-off of emerging market currencies and a strengthening of the Japanese Yen The market rebounded strongly from October 2015 after China introduced more measures to boost its economy and the ECB signaled further quantitative easing measures impending However the ECBrsquos measures fell short of expectation while the US hiked interest rates as expected in December 2015 More importantly China introduced a new currency basket index to benchmark its currency against renewing fears of Yuan depreciation Japanrsquos economy remained sluggish throughout the year 2015 as seen in industrial production and corporate sentiment data The only bright spark came from inbound tourist spending where inbound visitors grew 47 and reached a record high 197 million in 2015

The Fundrsquos stock selection in medical technology stocks like Asahi Intecc and Sysmex smartphone plays like Murata Manufacturing and Alps Electric and other stocks like Pigeon Fuji Heavy Industries and Koito Industries contributed to performance The Fundrsquos underweight in top-performing sectors such as pharmaceuticals food telecoms and railways subtracted from performance

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

The global stock market ended the previous year 2015 in an uncertain environment where the US Federal Reserve started normalizing its monetary policy while the Chinese authorities began adjusting its foreign exchange policy amidst a weak economy signaling an inclination for a weaker currency At the same time oil price continued its downward spiral giving more evidence of a slowing global economy All these make for a difficult macro backdrop for stocks in 2016 We expect the US economy to remain robust despite likely further rate hikes and China to show further signs of recovery from the fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts

After holding off for the whole year of 2015 in January 2016 the Bank of Japan (BOJ) finally introduced a new measure of negative interest rates in addition to its quantitative and qualitative easing With this unprecedented move in Japan the outcome is difficult to predict However we believe the BOJ may be trying to place a floor to the recent yen strength and more measures may be forthcoming On the fiscal side we expect the government to focus on strengthening the economy and in turn support the stock market as we approach the Upper House elections in mid-2016 Finally we expect Japanese corporate management to continue strengthening their shareholder holder returns with higher dividend payouts and share buybacks likely to be forthcoming in the new fiscal year 2016 All in all the Japanese market remains an attractive proposition for investors

Our investment strategy is focused on bottom-up stock selection based on business fundamentals and long term earnings potential of companies We typically prefer globally-competitive companies that can ride on structural growth trends and companies that can grow through value-added products and services We like structural growth themes like factory automation where wage inflation and productivity needs drive demand for automation and auto-related industries where progress in advanced driver assistance systems is generating demand for more electronics and components In consumer-related areas we like consumer brands with quality and value-added products that can benefit from rising consumerism in emerging markets On the domestic front we expect demand from inbound tourism to be on a structural uptrend benefiting tourism-related industries

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

REVIEW

For the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 41 in SGD terms

During the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund benefitted from both fundamental factors and technical factors Chinarsquos economic growth continued to slow down as the transformation to consumption and services sector was not sufficient to offset the slowdown in industrial sectors

Producer Price Index (PPI) stayed in deflation for over 3 years driven by over-capacity in industrial sectors which continued to see weak domestic demand as fixed asset investments growth continued to slow down the biggest culprit being real estate investments To support infrastructure investments and to keep interest rates low to support reforms and lower average borrowing cost for enterprises Peoplersquos Bank of China (PBOC) cut interest rates in August 2015 and October 2015 and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) in October 2015 The weak economic fundamental as well as monetary easing supported bonds In addition the A-share equity rout which started in June 2015 turned domestic investorsrsquo sentiments towards equity and caused asset allocation to shift towards bonds Yields of government bonds declined while credit spreads of credit bonds also tightened

7

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

In 2016 Chinarsquos economy will continue to undergo structural deceleration The excess property inventory needs to go through destocking before property developers will restart residential housing construction The over-investment in the last decade left much excess capacity in the commodities sector which continued to experience falling prices and eroding margins leading to worsening credit quality among producing enterprises While we continue to see robust growth in retail sales and increasing contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from consumption and services sector these will not be sufficient to offset the slowdown in investment and manufacturing activity External demand weakness will likely continue for some time given the slowdown in Europe and Japan as well as the strong USD posing downside risk to US growth The economic weakness will put RMB on depreciation pressures The capital account liberalization might slow in periods of heightened depreciation and capital outflow pressures

China will try to arrest growth slowdown with a combination of fiscal easing tax incentives as well as monetary easing It is likely to boost investment growth most directly by pushing for more infrastructure projects and directing more long term funding towards such projects China will also continue to press ahead on painful economic reforms In particular there is increasing focus on ldquosupply-side reformsrdquo comprising reducing over-capacity destocking deleveraging and reducing cost This includes clearing excess property inventory in tier 3 and 4 cities hukou (household registration) reforms to encourage rural workers to migrate to cities as part of the overall plan for urbanization as well as shutting down excess steel mills coal mines and other industrial producers and diverting employees to other sectors The serious task of tackling overcapacity will be positive for improving the quality and sustainability of economic growth in the long run but may lead to further weakness in industrial activity in the process while the employment layoff from cutting overcapacity will also pose downside pressure to consumption Local government debt reforms will be accelerated through a bigger scale debt-swap programme next two years after a successful launch in 2015

The weak macro environment calls for continued accommodative monetary policy to support growth as well as various reforms The high average borrowing cost for enterprises also calls for lower interest rates and a more developed bond market to allow enterprises to conduct direct financing Interest rates have entered historically low levels in China with the start of 2016 but they remain higher than levels in most other major economies We expect the bond market to become more volatile in 2016 after the aggressive easing environment in 2015 but bonds as an asset class are likely to continue to benefit from the weak fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy We also expect to see more bond defaults in the China onshore market so our credit exposure is still focused on high quality credits

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

REVIEW

For the year ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 171 underperforming the benchmark TOPIX Total Return Index which returned 196 in SGD terms

In the first half of year 2015 the Japanese stock market rallied strongly buoyed by domestic funds raising exposure to equities as well as Bank of Japan buying from its quantitative easing program while foreign investors were attracted by the changing attitudes of Japanese management towards greater corporate governance and shareholder returns Global liquidity remained abundant with the European Central Bank (ECB) launching its own quantitative easing as well as monetary loosening in China From June 2015 the market was spooked by the bursting of the Chinese stock market bubble together with a sharp decline in oil and commodity prices The one-off devaluation of the Chinese Yuan triggered a major global sell-off of emerging market currencies and a strengthening of the Japanese Yen The market rebounded strongly from October 2015 after China introduced more measures to boost its economy and the ECB signaled further quantitative easing measures impending However the ECBrsquos measures fell short of expectation while the US hiked interest rates as expected in December 2015 More importantly China introduced a new currency basket index to benchmark its currency against renewing fears of Yuan depreciation Japanrsquos economy remained sluggish throughout the year 2015 as seen in industrial production and corporate sentiment data The only bright spark came from inbound tourist spending where inbound visitors grew 47 and reached a record high 197 million in 2015

The Fundrsquos stock selection in medical technology stocks like Asahi Intecc and Sysmex smartphone plays like Murata Manufacturing and Alps Electric and other stocks like Pigeon Fuji Heavy Industries and Koito Industries contributed to performance The Fundrsquos underweight in top-performing sectors such as pharmaceuticals food telecoms and railways subtracted from performance

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

The global stock market ended the previous year 2015 in an uncertain environment where the US Federal Reserve started normalizing its monetary policy while the Chinese authorities began adjusting its foreign exchange policy amidst a weak economy signaling an inclination for a weaker currency At the same time oil price continued its downward spiral giving more evidence of a slowing global economy All these make for a difficult macro backdrop for stocks in 2016 We expect the US economy to remain robust despite likely further rate hikes and China to show further signs of recovery from the fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts

After holding off for the whole year of 2015 in January 2016 the Bank of Japan (BOJ) finally introduced a new measure of negative interest rates in addition to its quantitative and qualitative easing With this unprecedented move in Japan the outcome is difficult to predict However we believe the BOJ may be trying to place a floor to the recent yen strength and more measures may be forthcoming On the fiscal side we expect the government to focus on strengthening the economy and in turn support the stock market as we approach the Upper House elections in mid-2016 Finally we expect Japanese corporate management to continue strengthening their shareholder holder returns with higher dividend payouts and share buybacks likely to be forthcoming in the new fiscal year 2016 All in all the Japanese market remains an attractive proposition for investors

Our investment strategy is focused on bottom-up stock selection based on business fundamentals and long term earnings potential of companies We typically prefer globally-competitive companies that can ride on structural growth trends and companies that can grow through value-added products and services We like structural growth themes like factory automation where wage inflation and productivity needs drive demand for automation and auto-related industries where progress in advanced driver assistance systems is generating demand for more electronics and components In consumer-related areas we like consumer brands with quality and value-added products that can benefit from rising consumerism in emerging markets On the domestic front we expect demand from inbound tourism to be on a structural uptrend benefiting tourism-related industries

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

REVIEW

For the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 41 in SGD terms

During the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund benefitted from both fundamental factors and technical factors Chinarsquos economic growth continued to slow down as the transformation to consumption and services sector was not sufficient to offset the slowdown in industrial sectors

Producer Price Index (PPI) stayed in deflation for over 3 years driven by over-capacity in industrial sectors which continued to see weak domestic demand as fixed asset investments growth continued to slow down the biggest culprit being real estate investments To support infrastructure investments and to keep interest rates low to support reforms and lower average borrowing cost for enterprises Peoplersquos Bank of China (PBOC) cut interest rates in August 2015 and October 2015 and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) in October 2015 The weak economic fundamental as well as monetary easing supported bonds In addition the A-share equity rout which started in June 2015 turned domestic investorsrsquo sentiments towards equity and caused asset allocation to shift towards bonds Yields of government bonds declined while credit spreads of credit bonds also tightened

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

In 2016 Chinarsquos economy will continue to undergo structural deceleration The excess property inventory needs to go through destocking before property developers will restart residential housing construction The over-investment in the last decade left much excess capacity in the commodities sector which continued to experience falling prices and eroding margins leading to worsening credit quality among producing enterprises While we continue to see robust growth in retail sales and increasing contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from consumption and services sector these will not be sufficient to offset the slowdown in investment and manufacturing activity External demand weakness will likely continue for some time given the slowdown in Europe and Japan as well as the strong USD posing downside risk to US growth The economic weakness will put RMB on depreciation pressures The capital account liberalization might slow in periods of heightened depreciation and capital outflow pressures

China will try to arrest growth slowdown with a combination of fiscal easing tax incentives as well as monetary easing It is likely to boost investment growth most directly by pushing for more infrastructure projects and directing more long term funding towards such projects China will also continue to press ahead on painful economic reforms In particular there is increasing focus on ldquosupply-side reformsrdquo comprising reducing over-capacity destocking deleveraging and reducing cost This includes clearing excess property inventory in tier 3 and 4 cities hukou (household registration) reforms to encourage rural workers to migrate to cities as part of the overall plan for urbanization as well as shutting down excess steel mills coal mines and other industrial producers and diverting employees to other sectors The serious task of tackling overcapacity will be positive for improving the quality and sustainability of economic growth in the long run but may lead to further weakness in industrial activity in the process while the employment layoff from cutting overcapacity will also pose downside pressure to consumption Local government debt reforms will be accelerated through a bigger scale debt-swap programme next two years after a successful launch in 2015

The weak macro environment calls for continued accommodative monetary policy to support growth as well as various reforms The high average borrowing cost for enterprises also calls for lower interest rates and a more developed bond market to allow enterprises to conduct direct financing Interest rates have entered historically low levels in China with the start of 2016 but they remain higher than levels in most other major economies We expect the bond market to become more volatile in 2016 after the aggressive easing environment in 2015 but bonds as an asset class are likely to continue to benefit from the weak fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy We also expect to see more bond defaults in the China onshore market so our credit exposure is still focused on high quality credits

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

REVIEW

For the year ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 171 underperforming the benchmark TOPIX Total Return Index which returned 196 in SGD terms

In the first half of year 2015 the Japanese stock market rallied strongly buoyed by domestic funds raising exposure to equities as well as Bank of Japan buying from its quantitative easing program while foreign investors were attracted by the changing attitudes of Japanese management towards greater corporate governance and shareholder returns Global liquidity remained abundant with the European Central Bank (ECB) launching its own quantitative easing as well as monetary loosening in China From June 2015 the market was spooked by the bursting of the Chinese stock market bubble together with a sharp decline in oil and commodity prices The one-off devaluation of the Chinese Yuan triggered a major global sell-off of emerging market currencies and a strengthening of the Japanese Yen The market rebounded strongly from October 2015 after China introduced more measures to boost its economy and the ECB signaled further quantitative easing measures impending However the ECBrsquos measures fell short of expectation while the US hiked interest rates as expected in December 2015 More importantly China introduced a new currency basket index to benchmark its currency against renewing fears of Yuan depreciation Japanrsquos economy remained sluggish throughout the year 2015 as seen in industrial production and corporate sentiment data The only bright spark came from inbound tourist spending where inbound visitors grew 47 and reached a record high 197 million in 2015

The Fundrsquos stock selection in medical technology stocks like Asahi Intecc and Sysmex smartphone plays like Murata Manufacturing and Alps Electric and other stocks like Pigeon Fuji Heavy Industries and Koito Industries contributed to performance The Fundrsquos underweight in top-performing sectors such as pharmaceuticals food telecoms and railways subtracted from performance

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

The global stock market ended the previous year 2015 in an uncertain environment where the US Federal Reserve started normalizing its monetary policy while the Chinese authorities began adjusting its foreign exchange policy amidst a weak economy signaling an inclination for a weaker currency At the same time oil price continued its downward spiral giving more evidence of a slowing global economy All these make for a difficult macro backdrop for stocks in 2016 We expect the US economy to remain robust despite likely further rate hikes and China to show further signs of recovery from the fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts

After holding off for the whole year of 2015 in January 2016 the Bank of Japan (BOJ) finally introduced a new measure of negative interest rates in addition to its quantitative and qualitative easing With this unprecedented move in Japan the outcome is difficult to predict However we believe the BOJ may be trying to place a floor to the recent yen strength and more measures may be forthcoming On the fiscal side we expect the government to focus on strengthening the economy and in turn support the stock market as we approach the Upper House elections in mid-2016 Finally we expect Japanese corporate management to continue strengthening their shareholder holder returns with higher dividend payouts and share buybacks likely to be forthcoming in the new fiscal year 2016 All in all the Japanese market remains an attractive proposition for investors

Our investment strategy is focused on bottom-up stock selection based on business fundamentals and long term earnings potential of companies We typically prefer globally-competitive companies that can ride on structural growth trends and companies that can grow through value-added products and services We like structural growth themes like factory automation where wage inflation and productivity needs drive demand for automation and auto-related industries where progress in advanced driver assistance systems is generating demand for more electronics and components In consumer-related areas we like consumer brands with quality and value-added products that can benefit from rising consumerism in emerging markets On the domestic front we expect demand from inbound tourism to be on a structural uptrend benefiting tourism-related industries

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

REVIEW

For the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 41 in SGD terms

During the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund benefitted from both fundamental factors and technical factors Chinarsquos economic growth continued to slow down as the transformation to consumption and services sector was not sufficient to offset the slowdown in industrial sectors

Producer Price Index (PPI) stayed in deflation for over 3 years driven by over-capacity in industrial sectors which continued to see weak domestic demand as fixed asset investments growth continued to slow down the biggest culprit being real estate investments To support infrastructure investments and to keep interest rates low to support reforms and lower average borrowing cost for enterprises Peoplersquos Bank of China (PBOC) cut interest rates in August 2015 and October 2015 and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) in October 2015 The weak economic fundamental as well as monetary easing supported bonds In addition the A-share equity rout which started in June 2015 turned domestic investorsrsquo sentiments towards equity and caused asset allocation to shift towards bonds Yields of government bonds declined while credit spreads of credit bonds also tightened

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

In 2016 Chinarsquos economy will continue to undergo structural deceleration The excess property inventory needs to go through destocking before property developers will restart residential housing construction The over-investment in the last decade left much excess capacity in the commodities sector which continued to experience falling prices and eroding margins leading to worsening credit quality among producing enterprises While we continue to see robust growth in retail sales and increasing contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from consumption and services sector these will not be sufficient to offset the slowdown in investment and manufacturing activity External demand weakness will likely continue for some time given the slowdown in Europe and Japan as well as the strong USD posing downside risk to US growth The economic weakness will put RMB on depreciation pressures The capital account liberalization might slow in periods of heightened depreciation and capital outflow pressures

China will try to arrest growth slowdown with a combination of fiscal easing tax incentives as well as monetary easing It is likely to boost investment growth most directly by pushing for more infrastructure projects and directing more long term funding towards such projects China will also continue to press ahead on painful economic reforms In particular there is increasing focus on ldquosupply-side reformsrdquo comprising reducing over-capacity destocking deleveraging and reducing cost This includes clearing excess property inventory in tier 3 and 4 cities hukou (household registration) reforms to encourage rural workers to migrate to cities as part of the overall plan for urbanization as well as shutting down excess steel mills coal mines and other industrial producers and diverting employees to other sectors The serious task of tackling overcapacity will be positive for improving the quality and sustainability of economic growth in the long run but may lead to further weakness in industrial activity in the process while the employment layoff from cutting overcapacity will also pose downside pressure to consumption Local government debt reforms will be accelerated through a bigger scale debt-swap programme next two years after a successful launch in 2015

The weak macro environment calls for continued accommodative monetary policy to support growth as well as various reforms The high average borrowing cost for enterprises also calls for lower interest rates and a more developed bond market to allow enterprises to conduct direct financing Interest rates have entered historically low levels in China with the start of 2016 but they remain higher than levels in most other major economies We expect the bond market to become more volatile in 2016 after the aggressive easing environment in 2015 but bonds as an asset class are likely to continue to benefit from the weak fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy We also expect to see more bond defaults in the China onshore market so our credit exposure is still focused on high quality credits

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

REVIEW

For the year ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 171 underperforming the benchmark TOPIX Total Return Index which returned 196 in SGD terms

In the first half of year 2015 the Japanese stock market rallied strongly buoyed by domestic funds raising exposure to equities as well as Bank of Japan buying from its quantitative easing program while foreign investors were attracted by the changing attitudes of Japanese management towards greater corporate governance and shareholder returns Global liquidity remained abundant with the European Central Bank (ECB) launching its own quantitative easing as well as monetary loosening in China From June 2015 the market was spooked by the bursting of the Chinese stock market bubble together with a sharp decline in oil and commodity prices The one-off devaluation of the Chinese Yuan triggered a major global sell-off of emerging market currencies and a strengthening of the Japanese Yen The market rebounded strongly from October 2015 after China introduced more measures to boost its economy and the ECB signaled further quantitative easing measures impending However the ECBrsquos measures fell short of expectation while the US hiked interest rates as expected in December 2015 More importantly China introduced a new currency basket index to benchmark its currency against renewing fears of Yuan depreciation Japanrsquos economy remained sluggish throughout the year 2015 as seen in industrial production and corporate sentiment data The only bright spark came from inbound tourist spending where inbound visitors grew 47 and reached a record high 197 million in 2015

The Fundrsquos stock selection in medical technology stocks like Asahi Intecc and Sysmex smartphone plays like Murata Manufacturing and Alps Electric and other stocks like Pigeon Fuji Heavy Industries and Koito Industries contributed to performance The Fundrsquos underweight in top-performing sectors such as pharmaceuticals food telecoms and railways subtracted from performance

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

The global stock market ended the previous year 2015 in an uncertain environment where the US Federal Reserve started normalizing its monetary policy while the Chinese authorities began adjusting its foreign exchange policy amidst a weak economy signaling an inclination for a weaker currency At the same time oil price continued its downward spiral giving more evidence of a slowing global economy All these make for a difficult macro backdrop for stocks in 2016 We expect the US economy to remain robust despite likely further rate hikes and China to show further signs of recovery from the fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts

After holding off for the whole year of 2015 in January 2016 the Bank of Japan (BOJ) finally introduced a new measure of negative interest rates in addition to its quantitative and qualitative easing With this unprecedented move in Japan the outcome is difficult to predict However we believe the BOJ may be trying to place a floor to the recent yen strength and more measures may be forthcoming On the fiscal side we expect the government to focus on strengthening the economy and in turn support the stock market as we approach the Upper House elections in mid-2016 Finally we expect Japanese corporate management to continue strengthening their shareholder holder returns with higher dividend payouts and share buybacks likely to be forthcoming in the new fiscal year 2016 All in all the Japanese market remains an attractive proposition for investors

Our investment strategy is focused on bottom-up stock selection based on business fundamentals and long term earnings potential of companies We typically prefer globally-competitive companies that can ride on structural growth trends and companies that can grow through value-added products and services We like structural growth themes like factory automation where wage inflation and productivity needs drive demand for automation and auto-related industries where progress in advanced driver assistance systems is generating demand for more electronics and components In consumer-related areas we like consumer brands with quality and value-added products that can benefit from rising consumerism in emerging markets On the domestic front we expect demand from inbound tourism to be on a structural uptrend benefiting tourism-related industries

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

REVIEW

For the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 41 in SGD terms

During the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund benefitted from both fundamental factors and technical factors Chinarsquos economic growth continued to slow down as the transformation to consumption and services sector was not sufficient to offset the slowdown in industrial sectors

Producer Price Index (PPI) stayed in deflation for over 3 years driven by over-capacity in industrial sectors which continued to see weak domestic demand as fixed asset investments growth continued to slow down the biggest culprit being real estate investments To support infrastructure investments and to keep interest rates low to support reforms and lower average borrowing cost for enterprises Peoplersquos Bank of China (PBOC) cut interest rates in August 2015 and October 2015 and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) in October 2015 The weak economic fundamental as well as monetary easing supported bonds In addition the A-share equity rout which started in June 2015 turned domestic investorsrsquo sentiments towards equity and caused asset allocation to shift towards bonds Yields of government bonds declined while credit spreads of credit bonds also tightened

7

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

In 2016 Chinarsquos economy will continue to undergo structural deceleration The excess property inventory needs to go through destocking before property developers will restart residential housing construction The over-investment in the last decade left much excess capacity in the commodities sector which continued to experience falling prices and eroding margins leading to worsening credit quality among producing enterprises While we continue to see robust growth in retail sales and increasing contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from consumption and services sector these will not be sufficient to offset the slowdown in investment and manufacturing activity External demand weakness will likely continue for some time given the slowdown in Europe and Japan as well as the strong USD posing downside risk to US growth The economic weakness will put RMB on depreciation pressures The capital account liberalization might slow in periods of heightened depreciation and capital outflow pressures

China will try to arrest growth slowdown with a combination of fiscal easing tax incentives as well as monetary easing It is likely to boost investment growth most directly by pushing for more infrastructure projects and directing more long term funding towards such projects China will also continue to press ahead on painful economic reforms In particular there is increasing focus on ldquosupply-side reformsrdquo comprising reducing over-capacity destocking deleveraging and reducing cost This includes clearing excess property inventory in tier 3 and 4 cities hukou (household registration) reforms to encourage rural workers to migrate to cities as part of the overall plan for urbanization as well as shutting down excess steel mills coal mines and other industrial producers and diverting employees to other sectors The serious task of tackling overcapacity will be positive for improving the quality and sustainability of economic growth in the long run but may lead to further weakness in industrial activity in the process while the employment layoff from cutting overcapacity will also pose downside pressure to consumption Local government debt reforms will be accelerated through a bigger scale debt-swap programme next two years after a successful launch in 2015

The weak macro environment calls for continued accommodative monetary policy to support growth as well as various reforms The high average borrowing cost for enterprises also calls for lower interest rates and a more developed bond market to allow enterprises to conduct direct financing Interest rates have entered historically low levels in China with the start of 2016 but they remain higher than levels in most other major economies We expect the bond market to become more volatile in 2016 after the aggressive easing environment in 2015 but bonds as an asset class are likely to continue to benefit from the weak fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy We also expect to see more bond defaults in the China onshore market so our credit exposure is still focused on high quality credits

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

REVIEW

For the year ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 171 underperforming the benchmark TOPIX Total Return Index which returned 196 in SGD terms

In the first half of year 2015 the Japanese stock market rallied strongly buoyed by domestic funds raising exposure to equities as well as Bank of Japan buying from its quantitative easing program while foreign investors were attracted by the changing attitudes of Japanese management towards greater corporate governance and shareholder returns Global liquidity remained abundant with the European Central Bank (ECB) launching its own quantitative easing as well as monetary loosening in China From June 2015 the market was spooked by the bursting of the Chinese stock market bubble together with a sharp decline in oil and commodity prices The one-off devaluation of the Chinese Yuan triggered a major global sell-off of emerging market currencies and a strengthening of the Japanese Yen The market rebounded strongly from October 2015 after China introduced more measures to boost its economy and the ECB signaled further quantitative easing measures impending However the ECBrsquos measures fell short of expectation while the US hiked interest rates as expected in December 2015 More importantly China introduced a new currency basket index to benchmark its currency against renewing fears of Yuan depreciation Japanrsquos economy remained sluggish throughout the year 2015 as seen in industrial production and corporate sentiment data The only bright spark came from inbound tourist spending where inbound visitors grew 47 and reached a record high 197 million in 2015

The Fundrsquos stock selection in medical technology stocks like Asahi Intecc and Sysmex smartphone plays like Murata Manufacturing and Alps Electric and other stocks like Pigeon Fuji Heavy Industries and Koito Industries contributed to performance The Fundrsquos underweight in top-performing sectors such as pharmaceuticals food telecoms and railways subtracted from performance

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

The global stock market ended the previous year 2015 in an uncertain environment where the US Federal Reserve started normalizing its monetary policy while the Chinese authorities began adjusting its foreign exchange policy amidst a weak economy signaling an inclination for a weaker currency At the same time oil price continued its downward spiral giving more evidence of a slowing global economy All these make for a difficult macro backdrop for stocks in 2016 We expect the US economy to remain robust despite likely further rate hikes and China to show further signs of recovery from the fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts

After holding off for the whole year of 2015 in January 2016 the Bank of Japan (BOJ) finally introduced a new measure of negative interest rates in addition to its quantitative and qualitative easing With this unprecedented move in Japan the outcome is difficult to predict However we believe the BOJ may be trying to place a floor to the recent yen strength and more measures may be forthcoming On the fiscal side we expect the government to focus on strengthening the economy and in turn support the stock market as we approach the Upper House elections in mid-2016 Finally we expect Japanese corporate management to continue strengthening their shareholder holder returns with higher dividend payouts and share buybacks likely to be forthcoming in the new fiscal year 2016 All in all the Japanese market remains an attractive proposition for investors

Our investment strategy is focused on bottom-up stock selection based on business fundamentals and long term earnings potential of companies We typically prefer globally-competitive companies that can ride on structural growth trends and companies that can grow through value-added products and services We like structural growth themes like factory automation where wage inflation and productivity needs drive demand for automation and auto-related industries where progress in advanced driver assistance systems is generating demand for more electronics and components In consumer-related areas we like consumer brands with quality and value-added products that can benefit from rising consumerism in emerging markets On the domestic front we expect demand from inbound tourism to be on a structural uptrend benefiting tourism-related industries

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

REVIEW

For the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 41 in SGD terms

During the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund benefitted from both fundamental factors and technical factors Chinarsquos economic growth continued to slow down as the transformation to consumption and services sector was not sufficient to offset the slowdown in industrial sectors

Producer Price Index (PPI) stayed in deflation for over 3 years driven by over-capacity in industrial sectors which continued to see weak domestic demand as fixed asset investments growth continued to slow down the biggest culprit being real estate investments To support infrastructure investments and to keep interest rates low to support reforms and lower average borrowing cost for enterprises Peoplersquos Bank of China (PBOC) cut interest rates in August 2015 and October 2015 and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) in October 2015 The weak economic fundamental as well as monetary easing supported bonds In addition the A-share equity rout which started in June 2015 turned domestic investorsrsquo sentiments towards equity and caused asset allocation to shift towards bonds Yields of government bonds declined while credit spreads of credit bonds also tightened

7

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

In 2016 Chinarsquos economy will continue to undergo structural deceleration The excess property inventory needs to go through destocking before property developers will restart residential housing construction The over-investment in the last decade left much excess capacity in the commodities sector which continued to experience falling prices and eroding margins leading to worsening credit quality among producing enterprises While we continue to see robust growth in retail sales and increasing contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from consumption and services sector these will not be sufficient to offset the slowdown in investment and manufacturing activity External demand weakness will likely continue for some time given the slowdown in Europe and Japan as well as the strong USD posing downside risk to US growth The economic weakness will put RMB on depreciation pressures The capital account liberalization might slow in periods of heightened depreciation and capital outflow pressures

China will try to arrest growth slowdown with a combination of fiscal easing tax incentives as well as monetary easing It is likely to boost investment growth most directly by pushing for more infrastructure projects and directing more long term funding towards such projects China will also continue to press ahead on painful economic reforms In particular there is increasing focus on ldquosupply-side reformsrdquo comprising reducing over-capacity destocking deleveraging and reducing cost This includes clearing excess property inventory in tier 3 and 4 cities hukou (household registration) reforms to encourage rural workers to migrate to cities as part of the overall plan for urbanization as well as shutting down excess steel mills coal mines and other industrial producers and diverting employees to other sectors The serious task of tackling overcapacity will be positive for improving the quality and sustainability of economic growth in the long run but may lead to further weakness in industrial activity in the process while the employment layoff from cutting overcapacity will also pose downside pressure to consumption Local government debt reforms will be accelerated through a bigger scale debt-swap programme next two years after a successful launch in 2015

The weak macro environment calls for continued accommodative monetary policy to support growth as well as various reforms The high average borrowing cost for enterprises also calls for lower interest rates and a more developed bond market to allow enterprises to conduct direct financing Interest rates have entered historically low levels in China with the start of 2016 but they remain higher than levels in most other major economies We expect the bond market to become more volatile in 2016 after the aggressive easing environment in 2015 but bonds as an asset class are likely to continue to benefit from the weak fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy We also expect to see more bond defaults in the China onshore market so our credit exposure is still focused on high quality credits

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

REVIEW

For the year ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 171 underperforming the benchmark TOPIX Total Return Index which returned 196 in SGD terms

In the first half of year 2015 the Japanese stock market rallied strongly buoyed by domestic funds raising exposure to equities as well as Bank of Japan buying from its quantitative easing program while foreign investors were attracted by the changing attitudes of Japanese management towards greater corporate governance and shareholder returns Global liquidity remained abundant with the European Central Bank (ECB) launching its own quantitative easing as well as monetary loosening in China From June 2015 the market was spooked by the bursting of the Chinese stock market bubble together with a sharp decline in oil and commodity prices The one-off devaluation of the Chinese Yuan triggered a major global sell-off of emerging market currencies and a strengthening of the Japanese Yen The market rebounded strongly from October 2015 after China introduced more measures to boost its economy and the ECB signaled further quantitative easing measures impending However the ECBrsquos measures fell short of expectation while the US hiked interest rates as expected in December 2015 More importantly China introduced a new currency basket index to benchmark its currency against renewing fears of Yuan depreciation Japanrsquos economy remained sluggish throughout the year 2015 as seen in industrial production and corporate sentiment data The only bright spark came from inbound tourist spending where inbound visitors grew 47 and reached a record high 197 million in 2015

The Fundrsquos stock selection in medical technology stocks like Asahi Intecc and Sysmex smartphone plays like Murata Manufacturing and Alps Electric and other stocks like Pigeon Fuji Heavy Industries and Koito Industries contributed to performance The Fundrsquos underweight in top-performing sectors such as pharmaceuticals food telecoms and railways subtracted from performance

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

The global stock market ended the previous year 2015 in an uncertain environment where the US Federal Reserve started normalizing its monetary policy while the Chinese authorities began adjusting its foreign exchange policy amidst a weak economy signaling an inclination for a weaker currency At the same time oil price continued its downward spiral giving more evidence of a slowing global economy All these make for a difficult macro backdrop for stocks in 2016 We expect the US economy to remain robust despite likely further rate hikes and China to show further signs of recovery from the fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts

After holding off for the whole year of 2015 in January 2016 the Bank of Japan (BOJ) finally introduced a new measure of negative interest rates in addition to its quantitative and qualitative easing With this unprecedented move in Japan the outcome is difficult to predict However we believe the BOJ may be trying to place a floor to the recent yen strength and more measures may be forthcoming On the fiscal side we expect the government to focus on strengthening the economy and in turn support the stock market as we approach the Upper House elections in mid-2016 Finally we expect Japanese corporate management to continue strengthening their shareholder holder returns with higher dividend payouts and share buybacks likely to be forthcoming in the new fiscal year 2016 All in all the Japanese market remains an attractive proposition for investors

Our investment strategy is focused on bottom-up stock selection based on business fundamentals and long term earnings potential of companies We typically prefer globally-competitive companies that can ride on structural growth trends and companies that can grow through value-added products and services We like structural growth themes like factory automation where wage inflation and productivity needs drive demand for automation and auto-related industries where progress in advanced driver assistance systems is generating demand for more electronics and components In consumer-related areas we like consumer brands with quality and value-added products that can benefit from rising consumerism in emerging markets On the domestic front we expect demand from inbound tourism to be on a structural uptrend benefiting tourism-related industries

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

REVIEW

For the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 41 in SGD terms

During the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund benefitted from both fundamental factors and technical factors Chinarsquos economic growth continued to slow down as the transformation to consumption and services sector was not sufficient to offset the slowdown in industrial sectors

Producer Price Index (PPI) stayed in deflation for over 3 years driven by over-capacity in industrial sectors which continued to see weak domestic demand as fixed asset investments growth continued to slow down the biggest culprit being real estate investments To support infrastructure investments and to keep interest rates low to support reforms and lower average borrowing cost for enterprises Peoplersquos Bank of China (PBOC) cut interest rates in August 2015 and October 2015 and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) in October 2015 The weak economic fundamental as well as monetary easing supported bonds In addition the A-share equity rout which started in June 2015 turned domestic investorsrsquo sentiments towards equity and caused asset allocation to shift towards bonds Yields of government bonds declined while credit spreads of credit bonds also tightened

7

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

In 2016 Chinarsquos economy will continue to undergo structural deceleration The excess property inventory needs to go through destocking before property developers will restart residential housing construction The over-investment in the last decade left much excess capacity in the commodities sector which continued to experience falling prices and eroding margins leading to worsening credit quality among producing enterprises While we continue to see robust growth in retail sales and increasing contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from consumption and services sector these will not be sufficient to offset the slowdown in investment and manufacturing activity External demand weakness will likely continue for some time given the slowdown in Europe and Japan as well as the strong USD posing downside risk to US growth The economic weakness will put RMB on depreciation pressures The capital account liberalization might slow in periods of heightened depreciation and capital outflow pressures

China will try to arrest growth slowdown with a combination of fiscal easing tax incentives as well as monetary easing It is likely to boost investment growth most directly by pushing for more infrastructure projects and directing more long term funding towards such projects China will also continue to press ahead on painful economic reforms In particular there is increasing focus on ldquosupply-side reformsrdquo comprising reducing over-capacity destocking deleveraging and reducing cost This includes clearing excess property inventory in tier 3 and 4 cities hukou (household registration) reforms to encourage rural workers to migrate to cities as part of the overall plan for urbanization as well as shutting down excess steel mills coal mines and other industrial producers and diverting employees to other sectors The serious task of tackling overcapacity will be positive for improving the quality and sustainability of economic growth in the long run but may lead to further weakness in industrial activity in the process while the employment layoff from cutting overcapacity will also pose downside pressure to consumption Local government debt reforms will be accelerated through a bigger scale debt-swap programme next two years after a successful launch in 2015

The weak macro environment calls for continued accommodative monetary policy to support growth as well as various reforms The high average borrowing cost for enterprises also calls for lower interest rates and a more developed bond market to allow enterprises to conduct direct financing Interest rates have entered historically low levels in China with the start of 2016 but they remain higher than levels in most other major economies We expect the bond market to become more volatile in 2016 after the aggressive easing environment in 2015 but bonds as an asset class are likely to continue to benefit from the weak fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy We also expect to see more bond defaults in the China onshore market so our credit exposure is still focused on high quality credits

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

REVIEW

For the year ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 171 underperforming the benchmark TOPIX Total Return Index which returned 196 in SGD terms

In the first half of year 2015 the Japanese stock market rallied strongly buoyed by domestic funds raising exposure to equities as well as Bank of Japan buying from its quantitative easing program while foreign investors were attracted by the changing attitudes of Japanese management towards greater corporate governance and shareholder returns Global liquidity remained abundant with the European Central Bank (ECB) launching its own quantitative easing as well as monetary loosening in China From June 2015 the market was spooked by the bursting of the Chinese stock market bubble together with a sharp decline in oil and commodity prices The one-off devaluation of the Chinese Yuan triggered a major global sell-off of emerging market currencies and a strengthening of the Japanese Yen The market rebounded strongly from October 2015 after China introduced more measures to boost its economy and the ECB signaled further quantitative easing measures impending However the ECBrsquos measures fell short of expectation while the US hiked interest rates as expected in December 2015 More importantly China introduced a new currency basket index to benchmark its currency against renewing fears of Yuan depreciation Japanrsquos economy remained sluggish throughout the year 2015 as seen in industrial production and corporate sentiment data The only bright spark came from inbound tourist spending where inbound visitors grew 47 and reached a record high 197 million in 2015

The Fundrsquos stock selection in medical technology stocks like Asahi Intecc and Sysmex smartphone plays like Murata Manufacturing and Alps Electric and other stocks like Pigeon Fuji Heavy Industries and Koito Industries contributed to performance The Fundrsquos underweight in top-performing sectors such as pharmaceuticals food telecoms and railways subtracted from performance

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

The global stock market ended the previous year 2015 in an uncertain environment where the US Federal Reserve started normalizing its monetary policy while the Chinese authorities began adjusting its foreign exchange policy amidst a weak economy signaling an inclination for a weaker currency At the same time oil price continued its downward spiral giving more evidence of a slowing global economy All these make for a difficult macro backdrop for stocks in 2016 We expect the US economy to remain robust despite likely further rate hikes and China to show further signs of recovery from the fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts

After holding off for the whole year of 2015 in January 2016 the Bank of Japan (BOJ) finally introduced a new measure of negative interest rates in addition to its quantitative and qualitative easing With this unprecedented move in Japan the outcome is difficult to predict However we believe the BOJ may be trying to place a floor to the recent yen strength and more measures may be forthcoming On the fiscal side we expect the government to focus on strengthening the economy and in turn support the stock market as we approach the Upper House elections in mid-2016 Finally we expect Japanese corporate management to continue strengthening their shareholder holder returns with higher dividend payouts and share buybacks likely to be forthcoming in the new fiscal year 2016 All in all the Japanese market remains an attractive proposition for investors

Our investment strategy is focused on bottom-up stock selection based on business fundamentals and long term earnings potential of companies We typically prefer globally-competitive companies that can ride on structural growth trends and companies that can grow through value-added products and services We like structural growth themes like factory automation where wage inflation and productivity needs drive demand for automation and auto-related industries where progress in advanced driver assistance systems is generating demand for more electronics and components In consumer-related areas we like consumer brands with quality and value-added products that can benefit from rising consumerism in emerging markets On the domestic front we expect demand from inbound tourism to be on a structural uptrend benefiting tourism-related industries

REVIEW

For the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 41 in SGD terms

During the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund benefitted from both fundamental factors and technical factors Chinarsquos economic growth continued to slow down as the transformation to consumption and services sector was not sufficient to offset the slowdown in industrial sectors

Producer Price Index (PPI) stayed in deflation for over 3 years driven by over-capacity in industrial sectors which continued to see weak domestic demand as fixed asset investments growth continued to slow down the biggest culprit being real estate investments To support infrastructure investments and to keep interest rates low to support reforms and lower average borrowing cost for enterprises Peoplersquos Bank of China (PBOC) cut interest rates in August 2015 and October 2015 and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) in October 2015 The weak economic fundamental as well as monetary easing supported bonds In addition the A-share equity rout which started in June 2015 turned domestic investorsrsquo sentiments towards equity and caused asset allocation to shift towards bonds Yields of government bonds declined while credit spreads of credit bonds also tightened

7

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

In 2016 Chinarsquos economy will continue to undergo structural deceleration The excess property inventory needs to go through destocking before property developers will restart residential housing construction The over-investment in the last decade left much excess capacity in the commodities sector which continued to experience falling prices and eroding margins leading to worsening credit quality among producing enterprises While we continue to see robust growth in retail sales and increasing contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from consumption and services sector these will not be sufficient to offset the slowdown in investment and manufacturing activity External demand weakness will likely continue for some time given the slowdown in Europe and Japan as well as the strong USD posing downside risk to US growth The economic weakness will put RMB on depreciation pressures The capital account liberalization might slow in periods of heightened depreciation and capital outflow pressures

China will try to arrest growth slowdown with a combination of fiscal easing tax incentives as well as monetary easing It is likely to boost investment growth most directly by pushing for more infrastructure projects and directing more long term funding towards such projects China will also continue to press ahead on painful economic reforms In particular there is increasing focus on ldquosupply-side reformsrdquo comprising reducing over-capacity destocking deleveraging and reducing cost This includes clearing excess property inventory in tier 3 and 4 cities hukou (household registration) reforms to encourage rural workers to migrate to cities as part of the overall plan for urbanization as well as shutting down excess steel mills coal mines and other industrial producers and diverting employees to other sectors The serious task of tackling overcapacity will be positive for improving the quality and sustainability of economic growth in the long run but may lead to further weakness in industrial activity in the process while the employment layoff from cutting overcapacity will also pose downside pressure to consumption Local government debt reforms will be accelerated through a bigger scale debt-swap programme next two years after a successful launch in 2015

The weak macro environment calls for continued accommodative monetary policy to support growth as well as various reforms The high average borrowing cost for enterprises also calls for lower interest rates and a more developed bond market to allow enterprises to conduct direct financing Interest rates have entered historically low levels in China with the start of 2016 but they remain higher than levels in most other major economies We expect the bond market to become more volatile in 2016 after the aggressive easing environment in 2015 but bonds as an asset class are likely to continue to benefit from the weak fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy We also expect to see more bond defaults in the China onshore market so our credit exposure is still focused on high quality credits

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

The global stock market ended the previous year 2015 in an uncertain environment where the US Federal Reserve started normalizing its monetary policy while the Chinese authorities began adjusting its foreign exchange policy amidst a weak economy signaling an inclination for a weaker currency At the same time oil price continued its downward spiral giving more evidence of a slowing global economy All these make for a difficult macro backdrop for stocks in 2016 We expect the US economy to remain robust despite likely further rate hikes and China to show further signs of recovery from the fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts

After holding off for the whole year of 2015 in January 2016 the Bank of Japan (BOJ) finally introduced a new measure of negative interest rates in addition to its quantitative and qualitative easing With this unprecedented move in Japan the outcome is difficult to predict However we believe the BOJ may be trying to place a floor to the recent yen strength and more measures may be forthcoming On the fiscal side we expect the government to focus on strengthening the economy and in turn support the stock market as we approach the Upper House elections in mid-2016 Finally we expect Japanese corporate management to continue strengthening their shareholder holder returns with higher dividend payouts and share buybacks likely to be forthcoming in the new fiscal year 2016 All in all the Japanese market remains an attractive proposition for investors

Our investment strategy is focused on bottom-up stock selection based on business fundamentals and long term earnings potential of companies We typically prefer globally-competitive companies that can ride on structural growth trends and companies that can grow through value-added products and services We like structural growth themes like factory automation where wage inflation and productivity needs drive demand for automation and auto-related industries where progress in advanced driver assistance systems is generating demand for more electronics and components In consumer-related areas we like consumer brands with quality and value-added products that can benefit from rising consumerism in emerging markets On the domestic front we expect demand from inbound tourism to be on a structural uptrend benefiting tourism-related industries

REVIEW

For the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 41 in SGD terms

During the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund benefitted from both fundamental factors and technical factors Chinarsquos economic growth continued to slow down as the transformation to consumption and services sector was not sufficient to offset the slowdown in industrial sectors

Producer Price Index (PPI) stayed in deflation for over 3 years driven by over-capacity in industrial sectors which continued to see weak domestic demand as fixed asset investments growth continued to slow down the biggest culprit being real estate investments To support infrastructure investments and to keep interest rates low to support reforms and lower average borrowing cost for enterprises Peoplersquos Bank of China (PBOC) cut interest rates in August 2015 and October 2015 and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) in October 2015 The weak economic fundamental as well as monetary easing supported bonds In addition the A-share equity rout which started in June 2015 turned domestic investorsrsquo sentiments towards equity and caused asset allocation to shift towards bonds Yields of government bonds declined while credit spreads of credit bonds also tightened

7

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

In 2016 Chinarsquos economy will continue to undergo structural deceleration The excess property inventory needs to go through destocking before property developers will restart residential housing construction The over-investment in the last decade left much excess capacity in the commodities sector which continued to experience falling prices and eroding margins leading to worsening credit quality among producing enterprises While we continue to see robust growth in retail sales and increasing contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from consumption and services sector these will not be sufficient to offset the slowdown in investment and manufacturing activity External demand weakness will likely continue for some time given the slowdown in Europe and Japan as well as the strong USD posing downside risk to US growth The economic weakness will put RMB on depreciation pressures The capital account liberalization might slow in periods of heightened depreciation and capital outflow pressures

China will try to arrest growth slowdown with a combination of fiscal easing tax incentives as well as monetary easing It is likely to boost investment growth most directly by pushing for more infrastructure projects and directing more long term funding towards such projects China will also continue to press ahead on painful economic reforms In particular there is increasing focus on ldquosupply-side reformsrdquo comprising reducing over-capacity destocking deleveraging and reducing cost This includes clearing excess property inventory in tier 3 and 4 cities hukou (household registration) reforms to encourage rural workers to migrate to cities as part of the overall plan for urbanization as well as shutting down excess steel mills coal mines and other industrial producers and diverting employees to other sectors The serious task of tackling overcapacity will be positive for improving the quality and sustainability of economic growth in the long run but may lead to further weakness in industrial activity in the process while the employment layoff from cutting overcapacity will also pose downside pressure to consumption Local government debt reforms will be accelerated through a bigger scale debt-swap programme next two years after a successful launch in 2015

The weak macro environment calls for continued accommodative monetary policy to support growth as well as various reforms The high average borrowing cost for enterprises also calls for lower interest rates and a more developed bond market to allow enterprises to conduct direct financing Interest rates have entered historically low levels in China with the start of 2016 but they remain higher than levels in most other major economies We expect the bond market to become more volatile in 2016 after the aggressive easing environment in 2015 but bonds as an asset class are likely to continue to benefit from the weak fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy We also expect to see more bond defaults in the China onshore market so our credit exposure is still focused on high quality credits

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

REVIEW

For the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 41 in SGD terms

During the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund benefitted from both fundamental factors and technical factors Chinarsquos economic growth continued to slow down as the transformation to consumption and services sector was not sufficient to offset the slowdown in industrial sectors

Producer Price Index (PPI) stayed in deflation for over 3 years driven by over-capacity in industrial sectors which continued to see weak domestic demand as fixed asset investments growth continued to slow down the biggest culprit being real estate investments To support infrastructure investments and to keep interest rates low to support reforms and lower average borrowing cost for enterprises Peoplersquos Bank of China (PBOC) cut interest rates in August 2015 and October 2015 and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) in October 2015 The weak economic fundamental as well as monetary easing supported bonds In addition the A-share equity rout which started in June 2015 turned domestic investorsrsquo sentiments towards equity and caused asset allocation to shift towards bonds Yields of government bonds declined while credit spreads of credit bonds also tightened

7

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

In 2016 Chinarsquos economy will continue to undergo structural deceleration The excess property inventory needs to go through destocking before property developers will restart residential housing construction The over-investment in the last decade left much excess capacity in the commodities sector which continued to experience falling prices and eroding margins leading to worsening credit quality among producing enterprises While we continue to see robust growth in retail sales and increasing contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from consumption and services sector these will not be sufficient to offset the slowdown in investment and manufacturing activity External demand weakness will likely continue for some time given the slowdown in Europe and Japan as well as the strong USD posing downside risk to US growth The economic weakness will put RMB on depreciation pressures The capital account liberalization might slow in periods of heightened depreciation and capital outflow pressures

China will try to arrest growth slowdown with a combination of fiscal easing tax incentives as well as monetary easing It is likely to boost investment growth most directly by pushing for more infrastructure projects and directing more long term funding towards such projects China will also continue to press ahead on painful economic reforms In particular there is increasing focus on ldquosupply-side reformsrdquo comprising reducing over-capacity destocking deleveraging and reducing cost This includes clearing excess property inventory in tier 3 and 4 cities hukou (household registration) reforms to encourage rural workers to migrate to cities as part of the overall plan for urbanization as well as shutting down excess steel mills coal mines and other industrial producers and diverting employees to other sectors The serious task of tackling overcapacity will be positive for improving the quality and sustainability of economic growth in the long run but may lead to further weakness in industrial activity in the process while the employment layoff from cutting overcapacity will also pose downside pressure to consumption Local government debt reforms will be accelerated through a bigger scale debt-swap programme next two years after a successful launch in 2015

The weak macro environment calls for continued accommodative monetary policy to support growth as well as various reforms The high average borrowing cost for enterprises also calls for lower interest rates and a more developed bond market to allow enterprises to conduct direct financing Interest rates have entered historically low levels in China with the start of 2016 but they remain higher than levels in most other major economies We expect the bond market to become more volatile in 2016 after the aggressive easing environment in 2015 but bonds as an asset class are likely to continue to benefit from the weak fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy We also expect to see more bond defaults in the China onshore market so our credit exposure is still focused on high quality credits

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

REVIEW

For the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund returned 41 in SGD terms

During the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 the Fund benefitted from both fundamental factors and technical factors Chinarsquos economic growth continued to slow down as the transformation to consumption and services sector was not sufficient to offset the slowdown in industrial sectors

Producer Price Index (PPI) stayed in deflation for over 3 years driven by over-capacity in industrial sectors which continued to see weak domestic demand as fixed asset investments growth continued to slow down the biggest culprit being real estate investments To support infrastructure investments and to keep interest rates low to support reforms and lower average borrowing cost for enterprises Peoplersquos Bank of China (PBOC) cut interest rates in August 2015 and October 2015 and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) in October 2015 The weak economic fundamental as well as monetary easing supported bonds In addition the A-share equity rout which started in June 2015 turned domestic investorsrsquo sentiments towards equity and caused asset allocation to shift towards bonds Yields of government bonds declined while credit spreads of credit bonds also tightened

7

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

In 2016 Chinarsquos economy will continue to undergo structural deceleration The excess property inventory needs to go through destocking before property developers will restart residential housing construction The over-investment in the last decade left much excess capacity in the commodities sector which continued to experience falling prices and eroding margins leading to worsening credit quality among producing enterprises While we continue to see robust growth in retail sales and increasing contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from consumption and services sector these will not be sufficient to offset the slowdown in investment and manufacturing activity External demand weakness will likely continue for some time given the slowdown in Europe and Japan as well as the strong USD posing downside risk to US growth The economic weakness will put RMB on depreciation pressures The capital account liberalization might slow in periods of heightened depreciation and capital outflow pressures

China will try to arrest growth slowdown with a combination of fiscal easing tax incentives as well as monetary easing It is likely to boost investment growth most directly by pushing for more infrastructure projects and directing more long term funding towards such projects China will also continue to press ahead on painful economic reforms In particular there is increasing focus on ldquosupply-side reformsrdquo comprising reducing over-capacity destocking deleveraging and reducing cost This includes clearing excess property inventory in tier 3 and 4 cities hukou (household registration) reforms to encourage rural workers to migrate to cities as part of the overall plan for urbanization as well as shutting down excess steel mills coal mines and other industrial producers and diverting employees to other sectors The serious task of tackling overcapacity will be positive for improving the quality and sustainability of economic growth in the long run but may lead to further weakness in industrial activity in the process while the employment layoff from cutting overcapacity will also pose downside pressure to consumption Local government debt reforms will be accelerated through a bigger scale debt-swap programme next two years after a successful launch in 2015

The weak macro environment calls for continued accommodative monetary policy to support growth as well as various reforms The high average borrowing cost for enterprises also calls for lower interest rates and a more developed bond market to allow enterprises to conduct direct financing Interest rates have entered historically low levels in China with the start of 2016 but they remain higher than levels in most other major economies We expect the bond market to become more volatile in 2016 after the aggressive easing environment in 2015 but bonds as an asset class are likely to continue to benefit from the weak fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy We also expect to see more bond defaults in the China onshore market so our credit exposure is still focused on high quality credits

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

In 2016 Chinarsquos economy will continue to undergo structural deceleration The excess property inventory needs to go through destocking before property developers will restart residential housing construction The over-investment in the last decade left much excess capacity in the commodities sector which continued to experience falling prices and eroding margins leading to worsening credit quality among producing enterprises While we continue to see robust growth in retail sales and increasing contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth from consumption and services sector these will not be sufficient to offset the slowdown in investment and manufacturing activity External demand weakness will likely continue for some time given the slowdown in Europe and Japan as well as the strong USD posing downside risk to US growth The economic weakness will put RMB on depreciation pressures The capital account liberalization might slow in periods of heightened depreciation and capital outflow pressures

China will try to arrest growth slowdown with a combination of fiscal easing tax incentives as well as monetary easing It is likely to boost investment growth most directly by pushing for more infrastructure projects and directing more long term funding towards such projects China will also continue to press ahead on painful economic reforms In particular there is increasing focus on ldquosupply-side reformsrdquo comprising reducing over-capacity destocking deleveraging and reducing cost This includes clearing excess property inventory in tier 3 and 4 cities hukou (household registration) reforms to encourage rural workers to migrate to cities as part of the overall plan for urbanization as well as shutting down excess steel mills coal mines and other industrial producers and diverting employees to other sectors The serious task of tackling overcapacity will be positive for improving the quality and sustainability of economic growth in the long run but may lead to further weakness in industrial activity in the process while the employment layoff from cutting overcapacity will also pose downside pressure to consumption Local government debt reforms will be accelerated through a bigger scale debt-swap programme next two years after a successful launch in 2015

The weak macro environment calls for continued accommodative monetary policy to support growth as well as various reforms The high average borrowing cost for enterprises also calls for lower interest rates and a more developed bond market to allow enterprises to conduct direct financing Interest rates have entered historically low levels in China with the start of 2016 but they remain higher than levels in most other major economies We expect the bond market to become more volatile in 2016 after the aggressive easing environment in 2015 but bonds as an asset class are likely to continue to benefit from the weak fundamentals and accommodative monetary policy We also expect to see more bond defaults in the China onshore market so our credit exposure is still focused on high quality credits

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund

2015

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund

2015

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The table below summarises the credit rating of banks and custodian in which the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets are held as at 31 December 2015 and 2014

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

(e) Investments

Investments are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

(i) Initial recognition

Purchases of investments are recognised on the trade date Investments are recorded at fair value on initial recognition

(ii) Subsequent measurement

Investments are subsequently carried at fair value Net change in the fair value of investments are included in the Statements of Total Return in the year in which they arise

(iii) Derecognition

Investments are derecognised on the trade date of disposal The resultant realised gains and losses on the sale of investments are computed on the basis of the difference between the weighted average cost and selling price gross of transaction costs and are taken up in the Statements of Total Return

(f) Basis of valuation of investments

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the reporting date The quoted market price used for investments in equities held by the Sub-Funds is the last traded market price for both financial assets and financial liabilities where the last traded price falls within the bid-ask spread The quoted market price used for investments in debt securities held by the Sub-Funds is the market mid prices Accrued interest or discount or premium on debt securities at the reporting date are included in the fair value of debt securities Interest income on debt securities is presented within net gains or losses on investments on the Statements of Total Return In circumstances where the last traded price is not within the bid-ask spread the Manager will determine the point within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value The quoted market price used for investments in underlying funds held by the Sub-Funds is the published price of the underlying funds at the close of trading on the reporting date

(g) Receivables

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market Receivables are initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund

2015

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

Fund Benchmark 2015 2014$ $

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

(iii) Currency risk

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

The table below summarises the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial yearperiod Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Sub-Fundsrsquo activities expose them a variety of market risk (including currency risk interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk The Sub-Fundsrsquo overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial performance The Sub-Funds may use financial futures contracts options andor currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Sub-Funds at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures

The Sub-Fundsrsquo assets principally consist of investment in equities and debt securitiesThey are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Funds The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives

The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices External factors such as changes in economic environment consumption patterns and investorrsquos expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the assetrsquos value

The Sub-Fundsrsquo investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices The Manager monitors the Sub-Fundsrsquo investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Funds Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fundsrsquo risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies industries

The Sub-Fundsrsquo market risk is affected primarily by three components changes in actual market prices interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements

(i) Price risk

The LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole The daily fundsrsquo price movements are measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta

52

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

As at 31 December 2015 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos beta was 101 (2014 106) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and its benchmark (2014 based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the sub-fund and their benchmark)

The table below summarises the impact of increasesdecreases from the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos underlying investments in equities on the sub-fundrsquos net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increaseddecreased by a reasonable possible shift with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos investments moved according to the beta

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

Tokyo Stock Price Index 3879960 3490851

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

The Sub-Funds have monetary financial assetsliabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and the Sub-Funds may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between their functional currency and such other currencies The Sub-Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund does not hold any equities as at 31 December 2015 Hence no sensitivity analysis on price risk has been presented as price risk primarily results from exposure to volatility of equities prices

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates

LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund does not hold substantial financial assets or liabilities of which the values are sensitive to changes in interest rates LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees To manage this risk the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the sub-fundrsquos portfolio investments accordingly However the effects of changes in interest rates on the sub-fundrsquos portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect Hence no separate sensitivity analysis has been presented for the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fund

53

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

Interest rate risk affects the value of fixed income securities more directly than equities and is a major risk to the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund As interest rates rise prices of fixed income securities may fall and vice versa The rationale is that as interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding a fixed income security increases since investors are able to realise greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate The Manager will regularly assess the economic condition monitor changes in interest rates outlook and take appropriate measures accordingly to control the impact of interest rate risk

The table below summarises the LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fundrsquos exposure to interest rate risks They include the sub-fundrsquos assets and liabilities at fair value categorised by interest rate types

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund

2015

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

The table below summarises the credit rating of banks and custodian in which the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets are held as at 31 December 2015 and 2014

The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency

Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

As of 31 December 2014 the LionGlobal Japan Growth Fundrsquos exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assetsliabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented

(b) Liquidity risk

The Sub-Funds are exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Funds They therefore invests the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of

The tables below analyse the Sub-Fundsrsquo financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting to the contractual maturity date The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations either in whole or in part under a contract

Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by

ndash ensuring counterparties together with the respective credit limits are approved

ndash ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties and

ndash ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges

The LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund invests mostly in financial assets which have an investment grade as rated by Standard and Poorrsquos or Moodyrsquos The credit ratings are reviewed regularly

The table below analyses the Sub-Fundrsquos investments by credit ratings

LionGlobal RMB Quality Bond Fund

2015

Aa3 86 Baa2 25 Ba3 42 Unrated 756 Accrued interest receivable on debt securities 18 Total debt securities 927

All transactions in listed securities are settledpaid upon delivery using approved brokers The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation

59

LIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS II

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions

The Sub-Funds may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and options Hence the Sub-Funds are also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned The Manager minimises the Sub-Fundsrsquo credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies

(d) Capital management

The Sub-Fundsrsquo capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders The Sub-Funds strive to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fundsrsquo investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholdersrsquo redemptions

(e) Fair value estimation

The Sub-Funds classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements The fair value hierarchy has the following levels

- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)

- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (that is as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (Level 2)

- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and therefore classified within Level 1 comprise active listed equities The Sub-Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2 These include investment grade corporate bonds and over-the-counter derivatives

Except for cash and cash balances which are classified as Level 1 the Sub-Fundsrsquo assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2015 and 2014 have been classified as Level 2 The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below

Equitymutual fund investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk As these financial assets are non-monetary no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fundsrsquo net asset value has been included in the above other price risk sensitivity analysis

The Sub-Fundsrsquo monetary assetsliabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets liabilities forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Funds

As of 31 December 2015 the Sub-Fundsrsquo exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not considered to be significant except for the currency presented in the table below which shows the Sub-Fundsrsquo sensitivity to exchange rate movements on significant monetary assetsliabilities denominated in foreign currencies should those currencies increase by a reasonable possible shift with all other variables held constant This sensitivity analysis is not presented separately should the currency decrease as it is the reversal of the impact disclosed below
