To the Shareholders of Global Evolution Funds (formerly CGS FMS SICAV) Vertigo Building – Polaris 2-4, rue Eugène Ruppert L-2453 Luxembourg We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Global Evolution Funds (formerly CGS FMS SICAV) and of each of its sub-funds, which comprise the statement of net assets and the schedule of investments and other net assets as at December 31, 2016 and the statement of operations and changes in net assets for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Responsibility of the Board of Directors of the SICAV for the financial statements The Board of Directors of the SICAV is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements and for such internal control as the Board of Directors of the SICAV determines is necessary to enable the preparation and presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Responsibility of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as adopted for Luxembourg by the “Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier”. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the judgement of the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé”, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé” considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Report of the Investment Manager

10

Last year’s market environment 2016 proved a sea change in terms of world order and politics. New alliances were made and old alliances broke up. In Europe, the UK Brexit vote in June was the first obvious hint of the growing voter dissatisfaction with the political and institutional establishment that was later spelled out as Donald Trump against the odds won the US presidential race leaving the political analysts and polling companies ashamed and grieved.

In emerging markets, Turkey saw a failed coup attempt that left President Erdogan even more powerful and secular minded public sector employees as haunted animals. In Brazil, President Dilma Rousseff was ousted and replaced by Michel Temer thereby raising hope of an end to the political stalemate. However, in Argentina, President Macri’s ambitious economic agenda lost notable momentum and popular support. Meanwhile in Colombia, president Santos received the Nobel Peace Price for his efforts to bring the country’s more than 50-year-long civil war to an end. Ironically, the peace deal brokered with FARC was turned down in a referendum. Turning to South Africa, investors were left dazed and confused as a power struggle between president Zuma and finance minister Gordhan unfolded in the media with the local market suffering huge volatility. In the end it became increasingly clear that president Zuma’s political days were numbered as high level ANC members failed to offer explicit support. In Syria, besides the devastating consequences of a civil war and the tragic loss of lives, the intervention by Russia, Turkey, the US and the EU was a geopolitical powder keg waiting to explode.

Performance-wise, the gloomy narrative that characterized emerging markets in 2015 and early 2016 turned far more rosy as oil (up 45%) and base metals (up 21%) recovered. By late August, local currency debt benchmark GBI EM Global Diversified™ was up around 18% while EMBI Global Diversified™ peaked slightly above 15% in early September driven by negative yielding core fixed income markets and solid inflows from institutional investors in search for positive yield.

The surprise outcome of the US presidential election saw a notable repricing of EM risk in November and thus lower but still respectable GBIEM Global Diversified™ and EMBI Global Diversified™ full year returns of 9.94% and 10.15% respectively. By region, in EMBI Global Diversified™, resource rich Africa outperformed (15.75%), followed by Latin America (13,46%), Asia (6.92%) and Europe (6.73%). In GBI EM Global Diversified™, Middle East/Africa outperformed (30.82%), followed by Latin America (17.13%), Asia (5.60%) and Europe (1.98%). Ironically, Brazil being one of the most hated countries in 2015 and early 2016, returned a stunning 57.76%, with Russia, still sanctioned by the West, came in second (37.49%).

Outlook for 2017 Heading into the unknown Trump-world, what has struck us the most is the optimism and animal spirit displayed in consumer and business surveys – not only in the US but also on a more global scale. In fact, Markit’s EM manufacturing PMI has risen from a low 48.3 in September 2015 to a 2 ½-year high of 51.2 in December 2016. At the same time, JP Morgan’s Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index has risen to 52.7 in December from 52.1 in November, the highest reading since February 2014. In other words, inflation, monetary tightening, protectionism and de-globalization worries have taken the back seat for now.

While we like what we see in terms of EM manufacturing optimism and commodity prices, we cannot help being cautious. To mention a few potential headwinds: rising inflation in the US, in Europe and in Asia (due to base effects, energy and food), a stronger dollar and higher US treasury yields are factors that are unlikely to go well with positive emerging markets performance. While rising inflation driven by base effects is transitory, another pick-up in US wage inflation is not. And with the US labor market already tight by most standards, ongoing micro managed insourcing of manufacturing production (Trump vs Ford being one example), tax cuts, deregulation (energy and financials) and infrastructure spending are the seeds that could kick off wage inflation leaving the Fed eager to get ahead of the curve.

However, if you believe in Trump, you have to believe in hard commodities as well. In EM, we favor hard commodity exporters over manufactured goods exporters as the former is unlikely to be substituted by US domestic supply and therefore less likely to be a target for import tariffs. That being said, we expect WTI crude oil prices to be capped around USD 65 per barrels as the US shale industry ramp up production in response to higher prices. Africa fits well into our overall strategy while Frontier and EM local fixed income offers carry and better protection against a potential rise in US treasury yields (10yr expected to trade the 2.50-2.75% range with upside risk). A stronger USD/EM is a risk for local currency debt performance in H1 2017, but for the full year we are constructive on local FX.

We expect GBI EM Global Diversified™ and EMBI Global Diversified™ to deliver full year 2017 returns of 6% and 3 % respectively. In our Frontier Strategy a full year return around 9% seems achievable in our opinion.

Global Evolution Funds - Frontier Markets Investment Objective

The objective of the frontier markets strategy is to create returns by utilizing diversified strategy within sovereign frontier markets globally. The fund invests in hard currency and local currency debt securities and instruments as well as foreign exchange. To achieve the investment objective, the investment manager will use a range of financial instruments (local currency debt instruments, hard currency debt instruments and foreign exchange) and derivative financial instruments. Performance drivers for 2016 for the relevant sub-fund

In late 2015 and early 2016, the share of hard currency debt (HC) was increased to overweight, as an international investor base sold frontier hard currency debt indiscriminately leaving hard currency debt yield close to levels seen in local currency debt (LC). However, with the turnaround in commodity prices starting in Q1 2016, HC debt rallied leaving LC debt behind. In the process we gradually scaled back into LC debt.

In hindsight we called the recovery in commodity prices in due time to position accordingly. On a country specific note, Zambia (LC debt), Ecuador (HC debt), Venezuela (HC debt) and Zambia (LC debt) were all exponents for the change in sentiment towards EM and Frontier markets that followed the recovery in commodity prices which is also reflected in the return attribution for 2016. Contrary, Mozambique proved a disappointment as the government first restructured government backed debt into sovereign debt and later acknowledged the existence of hitherto undisclosed government debt. Despite a roughly 50% increase in thermal coal prices (a main export article) Mozambique proved the single worst contributor to fund performance in 2016.

Outlook for 2017

Going forward, we remain confident that LC is the most attractive exposure in the frontier space and expect it to prove valuable in 2017, especially in periods with external stress (think Trump, EU elections, Brexit etc.).

Global Evolution Funds - EM Debt Investment Objective

The objective of the emerging markets debt strategy is to create attractive returns by utilizing a diversified strategy within emerging markets focusing primarily on sovereign hard currency debt, but also on strategies that include sovereign local currency denominated debt and currency instruments.

Performance drivers for 2016 for the relevant sub-fund

In hindsight, we called the recovery in commodity prices in due time to position accordingly. Throughout 2016 our positive view on commodities was reflected in our overweight exposure to commodity exporting countries including a number of countries in Africa. This explains the positive relative return attribution from countries like Zambia, Ghana, Angola and Ecuador. In the case of Cameroon, thanks to our local network we became aware that the African Development Bank had issued a partial guarantee on the Sovereign’s 2025 dollar bond, which was not mentioned in the prospectus. Thus, we went long thereby benefitting from the repricing that followed as the broader market became aware of the guarantee. As to China and the Philippines, the relative performance contribution reflected zero weight positions based on valuations and our benchmark agnostic investment approach. Still in Latin America, our overweight in Mexico went against us as President-elect Donald Trump started to gain momentum in opinion polls. We went underweight 2 weeks before the US election but the damage to performance was already done. The negative relative performance of Ukraine was based on a zero weight whereas our exposure to Mozambique performed poorly as the government first restructured government-backed debt into sovereign debt and later acknowledged the existence of hitherto undisclosed government debt. Despite a roughly 50% increase in thermal coal prices (a main export article) Mozambique proved the single worst contributor to fund performance in 2016.

Global Evolution Funds - EM Local Debt Investment Objective

The objective of the sub-fund is to create returns by utilizing diversified strategy within emerging markets focusing on sovereign local currency denominated debt and currency instruments.

Performance drivers for 2016 for the relevant sub fund

A large overweight in Brazil since February contributed strongly to outperformance. The strong performance was triggered by the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, which left Vice-president Michel Temer in the driver’s seat. With a new government in place under president Temer, including an economic team led by former CB governor Meirelles, the reform process finally started to progress following months of stalemate.

In late January 2016 we upped Colombia to a solid overweight, which was based on our view that oil prices were about to bottom and rebound. This strategy proved successful. As oil prices moved towards USD 50 p/b we reduced the Colombia exposure and in June the exposure was lowered to an underweight in June in time to benefit from a 20% drop in oil prices, which fell 20% over the following two months. We then took Colombia overweight again based on our constructive view on oil.

In Russia, a competent economic policy response to the slump in oil prices and imposed sanctions commanded respect. As the strong rebound in oil prices kicked off, and as the media lost interest in the conflict with Ukraine, the scene was set for Russian assets to perform. We entered 2016 being underweight Russia but went neutral by end January. After a country visit in March came back fairly constructive on the government’s fiscal prudence and with the Russian Central Bank committed to reach its 4% inflation target in 2017 we increased our exposure further to overweight in May/June. In October the overweight position was lowered to slightly underweight. Also, a zero weight in local currency debt in China was beneficial in terms of relative performance.

Our long standing overweight in Mexico worked against us in 2016. Anecdotally, Mexico is seen as a liquid EM proxy and Mexico’s local fixed income and FX are often used as a hedging instrument. Donald Trump is well known for his hostility towards Mexico and illegal Mexican migrants and has repeatedly indicated he would repeal NAFTA. The strong performance of Donald Trump in the final stages of the election campaign and the ultimate surprise win all weighed on market performance. However, we did lower the position to neutral on November 7, thereby avoiding another hit to performance.

Armenia and the Philippines were both reduced to slightly underweight in May 2016 and later to zero weight as we saw better opportunities elsewhere.

Global Evolution Funds - EM Blended Debt Investment Objective

The fund objective is to create returns by actively allocating between a diversified selection of investment opportunities within emerging markets hard currency and local currency debt. To achieve the investment objective the Investment Manager will mainly use a range of traditional transferable and listed sovereign hard currency debt, local currency instruments and frontier markets.

Performance drivers for 2016 for the relevant sub-fund

A fairly large overweight in LC debt in Brazil proved the best contributor to relative performance in 2016. Also contributing to positive performance, the investment manager successfully called the bottom in commodity prices in Q1 2016 and the subsequent recovery, and positioned accordingly. The fund gradually took local currency debt in Russia overweight during May and June following a country visit in March, which left us constructive on the government’s fiscal prudence but also reinforced our view that the central bank would stay fully committed to reach its 4% inflation target. This overweight was lowered to neutral weight in October. Also being part of our constructive view on commodity prices, our actively traded overweight positioning in Colombia (local currency debt), Ghana (hard currency debt) and Zambia (hard currency debt) played out nicely. A zero weight in local currency debt in China was beneficial in terms of relative performance. The same cannot be said about our longstanding overweight in Mexico. Our LC debt position worked against us in 2016 as Donald Trump gained momentum in opinion polls and ultimately won the election. However, we did lower the position to neutral on November 7, thereby avoiding another hit to performance. In Asia our overweight in Malaysia (LC debt) also worked against us as local politics, disappointing fiscal performance and capital flows weighed on sentiment. Philippines were reduced to underweight in May 2016 and later to zero weight as we saw better opportunities elsewhere.

Global Evolution Funds - EM Debt and FX Investment Objective

The objective is to achieve capital appreciation through well diversified investments in emerging and frontier market debt and FX with an absolute return focus and active risk overlay.

Performance drivers for 2016 for the relevant sub-fund

Venezuela hard currency bonds and local duration in Brazil were the top two performance drivers in 2016. In Venezuela bonds traded very cheaply on lower oil prices and high political risk. We added bonds in the low 30s in early January 2016 as bonds looked very cheap and since we expected oil prices to bottom. AS oil prices recovered, so did Venezuela’s hard currency debt. We took profit on the entire position after oil rallied above USD 40 p/b. Our constructive view on commodities was reflected by similar positioning to currencies and credits backed by commodity exports.

We increased exposure to Brazil in Jan/Feb 2016 to a maximum of close to 10% after the significant sell-off across EM and rating agency Moody’s downgrade of Brazil to junk (which was well expected) and benefitted from the strong market performance that followed.

The fund’s exposure to Turkish lira (TRY) and Mozambique hard currency debt were the bottom two contributors to performance. We caught the TRY depreciation starting end of April16 well but built up exposure too late in May/Jun16. We expected TRY to perform well over the summer months on a carry friendly environment, not least due to a dovish Fed. We partly positioned for this by selling USD/TRY calls and thus volatility. However, the coup attempt on July 15th caught us by surprise and stopped us out of the position in the following days given the highly uncertain political and economic outlook.

Turning to Mozambique, total contribution came in at -0.80% from spread duration and carry. In April 2016, we participated in the swap of the state backed Ematum bonds (tuna-fishing company) into Mozambique’s first sovereign bond issue because we expected the new bonds to have a better credit quality given the sovereign status. The bonds were attractively priced based on our analysis and the available information, thus suggesting yield compression potential. However, the bonds were sold off aggressively after undisclosed loans of USD1.4bn came to the surface significantly altering the debt profile. The IMF and the World Bank suspended help as a consequence. We sold the bonds in August after prices rebounded from the lows, as we considered the new debt profile unattractive relative to bond valuations.

Global Evolution Funds - Emerging Frontier Investment Objective

The objective of the Global Evolution Emerging Frontier strategy is to create attractive returns by utilizing a non-benchmark focused and diversified strategy within sovereign frontier emerging markets globally. The fund invests in hard currency and local currency instruments as well as foreign exchange. To achieve the investment objective Global Evolution will use a range of financial instruments (local currency debt instruments, hard currency debt instruments and foreign exchange) and derivative financial instruments (interest rate futures, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, FX forwards, FX options and non-deliverable forwards).

Performance drivers in 2016 for the relevant sub fund

In late 2015 and early 2016, the share of hard currency debt (HC) was increased to overweight, as an international investor base sold frontier hard currency debt indiscriminately, leaving hard currency debt yield close to levels seen in local currency debt (LC). However, with the turnaround in commodity prices starting in Q1 2016, HC debt rallied, leaving LC debt behind. In the process we gradually scaled back into LC debt.

In hindsight we called the recovery in commodity prices in due time to position accordingly. On a country specific note, Zambia (LC debt), Ecuador (HC debt), Venezuela (HC debt) and Zambia (LC debt) were all exponents for the change in sentiment towards EM and Frontier markets that followed the recovery in commodity prices, which is also reflected in the return attribution for 2016. Contrary, Mozambique proved a disappointment as the government first restructured government-backed debt into sovereign debt and later acknowledged the existence of hitherto undisclosed government debt. Despite a roughly 50% increase in thermal coal prices (a main export article) Mozambique proved the single worst contributor to fund performance in 2016.

Outlook for 2017

Going forward, we remain confident that LC is the most attractive exposure in the frontier space and expect it to prove valuable in 2017, especially in periods with external stress (think Trump, EU elections, Brexit etc.).

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1 - General Global Evolution Funds (formerly known CGS FMS) ("the Fund") was established in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on December 3, 2010 in accordance with Part 1 of the Law of December 17, 2010. The Fund is organized as a variable capital company, Société d´investissement à capital variable (SICAV), under the Law of August 10, 1915 relating to commercial companies. The Fund has been established for an indefinite period.

Note 2 - Significant accounting policies The Fund keeps the books of each sub-fund in its respective currency and the financial statements were prepared in EUR and in accordance with the Luxembourg regulation relating to undertakings for collective investments.

2.1 Annual charges and expenses borne by the fund All costs and expenses relating to the organisation of the Fund, including government incorporation charges, professional fees and expenses in connection with the preparation of the Fund´s offering documents and the preparation of its basic corporate and contract documents is amortized by the Fund over a period of five (5) years from the Fund´s commencement of operation.

For any additional sub-fund created, expenses incurred in connection with the creation of such additional sub-fund shall exclusively be borne by the relevant sub-fund and shall be amortized over a maximum period of five (5) years as indicated in the relevant appendix to the prospectus.

All other operating costs and ongoing expenses are expensed when incurred.

2.2 Valuation of assets The value of such assets is determined as follows:

a) The value of any cash on hand or in deposits, bills, demand notes and accounts receivables, prepaid expenses and dividends and interests matured but not yet received shall be valued at the par-value of the assets except however if it appears that such value is unlikely to be received. In such a case, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, the value shall be determined by deducting a certain amount to reflect the recoverable value of these assets;

b) The value of assets which are listed or dealt in on any stock exchange is based on the last available price on the stock exchange which is normally the principal market for such assets;

c) The value of assets dealt in on any other regulated market is based on the last available price;

d) In the event that any assets are not listed or dealt in on any stock exchange or on any other regulated market, or if, with respect to assets listed or dealt in on any stock exchange, or other regulated market as aforementioned, the price as determined pursuant to sub-paragraph (b) or (c) is not representative of the fair market value of the relevant assets, the value of such assets is based on the reasonably foreseeable sales price determined prudently and in good faith, as determined by the Directors in accordance with recognized accounting and financial reporting principles, using latest dealing prices, valuations from reliable sources, asset values and other relevant factors. The Directors estimate that these valuation methods most fairly presents the amount which would be realizable had the investment been sold as of the date of the computation of the net asset value. The carrying value of these investments may differ positively or negatively from the values retained that would have been used had a ready market existed for these investments and the difference could be material;

Global Evolution Funds - ANNUAL REPORT 2016 42

e) The market value of forward or options contracts not traded on exchanges or on other regulated markets shall mean their net liquidating value determined, pursuant to the policies established by the Board of Directors, on a basis consistently applied for each different variety of contracts. The market value of futures or options contracts traded on exchanges or on other regulated markets shall be based upon the last available settlement prices of these contracts on exchanges and regulated markets on which the particular futures or options contracts are traded by the fund. Provided that if a futures, forward or options contract could not be liquidated on the day with respect to which net assets are being determined, the basis for determining the liquidating value of such contract shall be such value as the Board of Directors may deem fair and reasonable. Interest rate swaps are valued at their market value established by reference to the applicable interest rate curve;

f) The value of money market instruments not listed or dealt in on any stock exchange or any other regulated market and with remaining maturity of less than twelve (12) calendar months and of more than ninety (90) calendar days is deemed to be the market value thereof, increased by any interest accrued thereon. Money market instruments with a remaining maturity of ninety (90) calendar days or less are valued by the amortized cost method, which approximates market value;

g) Units or shares of open-ended UCI are valued at their last determined and available net asset value or, if such price is not representative of the fair market value of such assets, then the price shall be determined by the Board of Directors on a fair and equitable basis. Units or shares of a closed-ended UCI are valued at their last available stock market value;

h) All other securities and other assets are valued at fair market value, as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors of the fund.

The value of all assets and liabilities not expressed in the reference currency of the sub-fund is converted into the reference currency of such sub-fund at the rate of exchange determined at the relevant valuation day in good faith by or under procedures established by the Board of Directors.

To the extent that the Board of Directors consider that it is in the best interests of the fund, given the prevailing market conditions and the level of subscriptions or redemptions requested by shareholders in relation to the size of any sub-fund, an adjustment, as determined by the Board of Directors at their discretion, may be reflected in the net asset value of the sub-fund for such sum as may represent the percentage estimate of costs and expenses which may be incurred by the relevant sub-fund under such conditions.

The Board of Directors and the management company may at their discretion permit any other method of valuation to be used if they consider that such method of valuation better reflects value generally or in particular markets or market conditions and is in accordance with good practice.

2.3 Net realised gain (loss) on sales of investments The realized gains or losses on the sales of securities are calculated on the basis of the average cost of the securities sold.

2.4 Cost of investment securities The cost of securities denominated in currencies other than the reference currency of the different sub-funds is converted at the exchange rate prevailing on the day of acquisition.

2.5 Income recognition Interest is accrued on a daily basis.

Voting Rights The voting policy has also been modified due to the amended law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies (the “Law”) entered into force on 23 August 2016. One of the changes introduced is that the principle of one share entitles to one vote is no longer the default position regarding voting at shareholders' meetings.

The revised Article 67(4) of the Law now provides that “When shares are of an unequal value or when their value is not mentioned, unless otherwise provided for in the articles of incorporation, each share will automatically grant the right to a number of votes proportionate to the part of the share capital it represents, by counting for one vote the share representing the lowest amount; fractions of votes are not taken into account, except in the cases provided for by Article 68”.

Due to the abovementioned change in the Law, this proportionate vote applies to funds whose shares have a variable net asset value and which therefore are of unequal value, unless the articles expressly state that the principle one share equals one vote applies. In particular for large funds with many shareholders, determining the correct voting entitlement of each shareholder could be relatively complex and burdensome.

The articles of association of Global Evolution Funds (the “Articles”) did not contain any express provision stating that each share is entitled to one vote. It follows that to solve this issue, at the general meeting of shareholders of Global Evolution Funds resolving to change the articles of incorporation of the funds, it was decided to amend article 24.6 of the fund’s articles to provide that “Each Share, regardless of the Class and of the Sub-Fund to which it belongs and regardless of the Net Asset Value per Share within the Class/Sub-Fund, is entitled to one vote, subject to the limitations imposed by these Articles”.

Risk Management - Global Exposure The global exposure is calculated for all sub-funds regardless of their investment strategies. The methods used to measure the global exposure for the sub-funds are the commitment approach and VaR approach according to the CSSF Circular 11/512.

1 - Commitment approach The commitment approach is used for the sub-funds that do not use financial derivative instruments to a large extent and in a systematic way as part of complex investment strategies. The sum of the underlying equivalents must not exceed the net asset value of the fund.

Sub-funds: • Global Evolution Funds - Frontier Markets • Global Evolution Funds - Emerging Frontier

2 - Relative VaR approach The VaR approach is considered for sub-funds that use financial derivative instruments to a large extent and in a systematic way as part of complex investment strategies. The relative VaR approach was used for the following sub-funds (listed below) because a derivative-free benchmark (Reference Portfolio), which reflects the sub-fund's investment policy and investment strategy, could be found or determined.

Global Evolution Funds changed its management company with effect from October 1, 2016. So for the period from January 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016, the management of the sub-funds Risk Profile was conducted by Universal Investment.

Starting from October 1, 2016, Global Evolution Manco managed the risk profile and exposure of the company's sub-funds.
