The undertaking for collective investment does not conduct any research and development.

The undertaking for collective investment does not have any branch offices.

In establishing and applying the valuation rules, it is assumed that the undertaking for collective investment will continue to pursue its activities, even if the profit and loss account shows a loss for two consecutive financial years.

Reclaims of foreign withholding taxes on dividends. In some Member States of the European Union domestic investment funds benefit from exemptions or refunds of withholding taxes when they receive dividends from a domestic entity. The same tax benefits do not apply to non-resident investment funds investing cross-border. Such tax system is not in accordance with the free movement of capital within the European Union. Since 2006 KBC investment funds yearly file requests for a refund of discriminatory withholding tax paid on dividends in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Austria. Refunds have already been received from French, Norwegian, Swedish, Spanish and Austrian fiscal administration. The funds no longer file requests in The Netherlands as a consequence of recent Dutch Court decisions.

1.2.2 GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW

1 September 2015 – 31 August 2016 Volatile equity markets

The international equity markets have been extremely volatile during the period under review. Following a sharp dip in August/September last year when the markets were having major concerns about Chinese economic growth, there was a rally in the closing months of 2015. However, there was another dip at the start of 2016 when the US economy started showing signs of weakness. These concerns had just been laid to rest when a new period of turbulence was ushered in by the UK's unexpected vote to leave the European Union. However, it turned out to be short-lived. The strength of the US and Chinese economies and clear signals from the central banks (not least the Fed) that monetary policy would remain accommodating was positively received by the markets. Since the period under review started in the middle of a market dip in the summer of 2015, the period ended with a tidy gain of more than 10% for the global index. The biggest gains were posted by the emerging markets (+25%) and in North America (+15.8%). In Japan (+6.1%) and the euro area (+0.8%), the returns were more modest. Commodity prices have recovered in 2016 from the losses incurred in 2015. Materials (+16.6%) and oil companies (+10.8%) duly managed to record positive results again on the stock market. However, the biggest gains were recorded in the Technology sector (+22.9%) and in Consumer Staples (+17.6%), which includes the Food and Food Distribution segments. Bringing up the rear were Health Care (+2.8%) and Financials (+4.8%). Health Care was held back primarily by fears that a win for Hillary Clinton in the US presidential elections would increase pressure on reducing costs for medicinal drugs. New concerns about the stability of the (Italian) banking system and the persistently low (and even negative) interest rates weighed on bank share prices, especially in Europe. Interest rates sink to new lows

Anyone thinking that interest rates could not fall any further has been disappointed in recent months. Both US and German ten-year rates reached new lows, and in the latter case actually dipped well below zero. The main drivers of this movement were the central banks; in the US, the Fed decided to put the cycle of interest rate hikes initiated in December 2015 on hold in response to the uncertain international economic climate and the hesitant local growth. The central banks of Japan and Europe went a step further. The Bank of Japan introduced a negative key rate in its latest attempt to drag the economy out of the doldrums and weaken the currency. The ECB followed suit by launching an unprecedented raft of new measures in March. The deposit rate was cut further to -0.4%, the quantitative easing programme was expanded to include corporate bonds and a TLTRO operation was initiated to enable the banks, under certain conditions, to borrow at negative interest rates from the central bank. All this monetary turbulence had little impact on the foreign exchange markets. The euro remained virtually unchanged against the US dollar during the period under review, while the Japanese yen, contrary to the intentions of the Bank of Japan, appreciated strongly against the dollar (+15%). The risk aversion of investors proved to be a stronger force than the central bankers. The safe haven status of the Japanese currency drove the yen upwards, while on the other hand the vote in favour of Brexit hit sterling hard. The pound reached its lowest level for more than 30 years against the US dollar and lost almost 14% against the euro during the period under review.

Outlook

The economic outlook is clearly overshadowed by the uncertainty created by the British decision on 23 June to leave the European Union. Negotiating a clear 'divorce settlement' will undoubtedly take a long time, and this could weigh on investor and consumer confidence. A recession in the United Kingdom cannot be ruled out, and the consequences will also be felt on the European continent. Despite this, we do not foresee a sharp downturn in global growth. The US economy is continuing to perform reasonably well, and the uncertainty created by Brexit could prompt the Federal Reserve to make only modest changes to its monetary policy. That said, we think the Fed will resume its policy of gradually raising its key rate during the course of 2017. Inflation is beginning to rise now that the effect of falling oil prices has gradually played out. The growing squeeze on the US labour market will also prompt the Fed to adopt a cautious approach. None of this applies in Europe, where the central banks (ECB and Bank of England) will continue to pursue a very supportive policy. Combined with a weak euro and the transition to a mildly expansionary fiscal policy, this could provide additional oxygen for the euro area economies. The emerging markets have moved into calmer waters. The worst seems to be over for commodity exporters now that prices have clearly flattened out. Equilibrium will continue to return to the oil market owing to stagnating or even contracting supply, whereas the demand for oil will continue to increase. Investments will slowly start being scaled back, with hardly any new oil projects being launched, for instance. The natural decline in production from the existing oil wells is speeding up. We expect the oil price to recover gradually, though there may be some volatility. This will ease the pressure on commodity exporters somewhat. The panic about the feared hard landing of the Chinese economy (the reason for a sharp correction on the stock markets in August 2015) has ended. Even so, it remains to be seen whether the Chinese government can keep the rate of growth high enough through conventional stimulatory measures, to facilitate the switch quickly enough from an industrial and export-driven model to one more oriented to domestic consumption and the service sector. Investors will have to allow for an upside risk for bond yields – perhaps not in the immediate months ahead, but certainly during the course of 2017. Although rates are low by historical standards, however, no unduly dramatic increase need be feared: the low level of inflation and accommodative monetary policy will prevent any sharp rise. Although prices will remain rather volatile, we believe that equities offer the prospect of better returns. The equity markets can draw strength from two sources: valuation and earnings growth. The second factor will be crucial in the months ahead. Edited to 9 September 2016

1.6 SUMMARY OF RECOGNITION AND VALUATION RULES

1.6.1 SUMMARY OF THE RULES

Summary of the valuation rules pursuant to the Royal Decree of 10 November 2006 on the accounting, annual accounts and periodic reports of certain open-ended undertakings for collective investment. The assets of the various sub-funds are valued as follows:

o When purchased or sold, securities, money market instruments, units in undertakings for collective investment and financial derivatives are recorded in the accounts at their acquisition price or sale price, respectively. Any additional expenses, such as trading and delivery costs, are charged directly to the profit and loss account.

o After initial recognition, securities, money market instruments and financial derivatives are measured at fair value on the basis of the following rules:

Securities that are traded on an active market without the involvement of third-party financial institutions are measured at fair value using the closing price;

Assets that have an active market which functions through third-party financial institutions that guarantee continuous bid and ask prices are measured using the current bid price set on that market. However, since most international benchmarks use mid-prices, and the data providers cannot supply bid prices (e.g., JP Morgan, iBoxx, MSCI, etc.), the mid-prices are used to measure debt instruments, as provided for in the Notes to the aforementioned Royal Decree. The method to correct these mid-prices and generate the bid price is not used, as it is not reliable enough and could result in major fluctuations.

Securities whose last known price is not representative and securities that are not admitted to official listing or admitted to another organised market are valued as follows:

1. When measuring these securities at fair value, use is made of the current fair value of similar assets for which there is an active market, provided this fair value is adjusted to take account of the differences between the assets concerned.

2. If no fair value for similar assets exists, the fair value is calculated on the basis of other valuation techniques which make maximum use of market data, which are consistent with generally accepted economic methods and which are verified and tested on a regular basis.

3. If no organised or unofficial market exists for the assets being valued, account is also taken of the uncertain character of these assets, based on the risk that the counterparties involved might not meet their obligations.

Shares for which there is no organised or unofficial market, and whose fair value cannot be calculated reliably as set out above, are measured at cost. Impairment is applied to these shares if there are objective instructions to this end.

Units in undertakings for collective investment (for which there is no organised market) are measured at fair value using their last net asset value.

o Liquid assets, including assets on demand at credit institutions, obligations on current account vis-à-vis credit institutions, amounts payable and receivable in the short term that are not represented by negotiable securities or money market instruments (other than vis-à-vis credit institutions), tax assets and liabilities, are measured at nominal value. Other amounts receivable in the longer term that are not represented by negotiable securities are measured at fair value. Impairment is applied to assets, amounts to be received and receivables if there is uncertainty that they will be paid in full or in part at maturity, or if the realisation value of this asset is less than its acquisition value.

2.1.3 GOAL AND KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY

SUB-FUND’S OBJECT:

The main objective of this sub-fund is to generate the highest possible return for its shareholders by investing directly or indirectly in transferable securities. This is reflected in its pursuit of capital gains and income. To this end, the assets are invested, either directly or indirectly via correlated financial instruments, primarily in shares.

SUB-FUND’S INVESTMENT POLICY:

PERMITTED ASSET CLASSES:

The sub-fund may invest in securities, money market instruments, units in undertakings for collective investment, deposits, financial derivatives, liquid assets and all other instruments insofar as permitted by the applicable laws and regulations and consistent with the sub-fund's object. The sub-fund shall invest no more than 10% of its assets in units of other undertakings for collective investment. with the sub-fund's object.

RESTRICTIONS OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY:

The investment policy will be implemented within the limits set by law and regulations. The sub-fund may borrow up to 10% of its net assets, insofar as these are short-term borrowings aimed at solving temporary liquidity problems.

PERMITTED DERIVATIVES TRANSACTIONS:

Derivatives may be used to achieve the investment objectives as well as to hedge in risks. It is possible to work with either listed or unlisted derivatives: these may be forward contracts, options or swaps on securities, indices, currencies or interest rates or other transactions involving derivatives. Unlisted derivatives transactions may only be concluded with prime financial institutions specialised in such transactions. Subject to the applicable laws and regulations and the articles of association, the sub-fund will always seek to conclude the most effective transactions. All costs associated with the transactions will be charged to the sub-fund and all income generated will be paid to the sub-fund. If the transactions result in a risk in respect of the counterparty, this risk can be hedged by using a margin management system that ensures that the sub-fund is the beneficiary of security (collateral) in the form of cash or investment grade bonds. When calculating the value of the bonds, a margin will be applied that varies depending on their residual term to maturity and the currency in which they are denominated. The relationship with the counterparty or counterparties is governed by standard international agreements. Derivatives can also be used to hedge the assets of the sub-fund against open exchange risks in relation to the currency. Where derivatives are used, they must be easily transferable and liquid instruments. Using derivatives does not, therefore, affect liquidity risk. Furthermore, using derivatives does not affect the portfolio's allocation across regions, industry sectors or themes. As a result, they have no effect on concentration risk. Derivatives may not be used to protect capital, either fully or partially. They neither increase nor decrease capital risk. In addition, using derivatives has no effect on credit risk, settlement risk, custody risk, flexibility risk or inflation risk or risk dependent on external factors.

Selected strategy

The sub-fund invests at least 75% of its assets in companies that operate on a sustainable basis and that generate a substantial proportion of their turnover in the water sector.

The companies have to satisfy a number of basic criteria regarding the environment, human rights, the trade and manufacture of arms, and nuclear energy. The basic criteria are set out by KBC Asset Management in co-operation with the Independent Environmental Advisory Committee. They may also change the method used to perform the sustainability screening, based on new trends in society.

Screening is carried out by KBC Asset Management’s Sustainable and Socially Responsible Investment Department and the Environmental Advisory Committee.

Lending financial instruments:

The subfund is not allowed to lend financial instruments.

Volatility of the net asset value:

The volatility of the net asset value may be high due to the composition of the portfolio.

General strategy for hedging the exchange rate risk:

In order to protect its assets against exchange rate fluctuations and within the limitations laid down in the articles of association, the sub-fund may perform transactions relating to the sale of forward currency contracts, as well as the sale of call options and the purchase of put options on currencies. The transactions in question may relate solely to contracts traded on a regulated market that operates regularly, is recognised and is open to the public or that are traded with a recognised, prime financial institution specialising in such transactions and dealing in the over-the-counter (OTC) market in options. With the same objective, the sub-fund may also sell currencies forward or exchange them in private transactions with prime financial institutions specialising in such transactions.

Social, ethical and environmental aspects:

Investments may not be made in financial instruments issued by manufacturers of controversial weapons whose use over the past five decades, according to international consensus, has led to disproportionate human suffering among the civilian population. This involves the manufacturers of anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs and munitions and weapons containing depleted uranium. In addition, as of 31 March 2014 no new investments may be made in financial instruments issued by companies that do not have an anti-corruption policy and that have been given a negative score in a thorough screening for corruption in the last two years. A company has no anti-corruption policy if it cannot be demonstrated that it has an acceptable policy concerning the fight against corruption. An acceptable policy should be made public and must at least state that bribery will not be tolerated and that the law will be followed in this respect. The screening will be based on a generally accepted and independent 'Social, ethical and environmental factors' database. In this way, not only is a purely financial reality represented, but also the social reality of the sector or region. Where relevant, please refer to 'Information concerning the Bevek – Tax treatment' in the prospectus to find out more about the application of European and Belgian tax provisions.

2.1.4 FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

The management company has delegated the intellectual management, with the exception of the sustainability screening described in the prospectus, to KBC Fund Management Limited, Joshua Dawson House, Dawson Street , Dublin 2, IRELAND.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

Please refer to the general market outlook text for an overview of developments during the period under review.

2.1.9 SYNTHETIC RISK AND REWARD INDICATOR

5 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). The value of a share can decrease or increase and the investor may not get back the amount invested. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No. 583/2010, a synthetic risk and reward indicator has been calculated. This indicator provides a quantitative measure of the sub-fund's potential return and the risk involved, calculated in the currency in which the sub-fund is denominated. It is given as a figure between 1 and 7. The higher the figure, the greater the potential return, but also the more difficult it is to predict this return. Losses are possible too. The lowest figure does not mean that the investment is entirely free of risk. However, it does indicate that, compared with the higher figures, this product will generally provide a lower, but more predictable return. The synthetic risk and reward indicator is assessed regularly and can therefore go up or down based on data from the past. Data from the past is not always a reliable indicator of future risk and return.

The table above shows the capital volume of portfolio transactions. This volume (adjusted to take account of total subscriptions and redemptions) is also compared to the average net assets at the beginning and end of the period. A figure close to 0% implies that the transactions relating to the securities or transactions relating to the assets (excluding deposits and cash) in a given period only involve subscriptions and redemptions. A negative percentage shows that subscriptions and redemptions entailed few, if any, transactions in the portfolio. Active asset management may result in high turnover rates (monthly percentage >50%). The detailed list of transactions is available for consultation free of charge at the registered office of the Bevek or fund at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.

The bar chart shows the performance for full financial years.

The figures do not take account of any restructuring.

Calculated in CZK and in EUR.

the return is calculated as the change in the net asset value between two dates expressed as a percentage. In the case of units that pay dividends, the dividend is incorporated geometrically in the return.

Calculation method for date D, where NAV stands for net asset value: Capitalisation units (CAP) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[NAV(D) / NAV(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [NAV(D) / NAV(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

Distribution units (DIV) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[ C * NAV(D) / NAV(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [ C * NAV(D) / NAV(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

where C is a factor that is determined for all N dividends between the calculation date D and the reference date. For dividend i on date Di with value Wi:

Ci = [Wi / NAV(Di)] + 1 i = 1 ... N

from which C = C0 * .... * CN.

If the interval between the two dates exceeds one year, the ordinary return calculation is converted into a return on an annual basis by taking the nth square root of 1 plus the total return of the unit.

The return figures shown above do not take account of the fees and charges associated with the issue and redemption of units.

These are the performance figures for capitalisation and distribution shares.

FEE-SHARING AGREEMENTS AND REBATES:

The management company may share its fee with the distributor, and institutional and/or professional parties. In principle, the percentage share amounts to between 35% and 60% if the distributor is an entity of KBC Group NV or to between 35% and 70% if the distributor is not an entity of KBC Group NV. However, in a small number of cases, the distributor’s fee is less than 35%. Investors may, on request, obtain more information on these cases. If the management company invests the assets of the undertaking for collective investment in units of undertakings for collective investment that are not managed by an entity of KBC Group NV, and receives a fee for doing so, it will pay this fee to the undertaking for collective investment. Fee-sharing does not affect the amount of the management fee paid by the sub-fund to the management company. This management fee is subject to the limitations laid down in the articles of association. The limitations may only be amended after approval by the general meeting of shareholders. The management company has concluded a distribution agreement with the distributor in order to facilitate the wider distribution of the sub-fund's units by using multiple distribution channels. It is in the interests of the holders of units, the sub-fund and of the distributor for the largest possible number of units to be sold and for the assets of the sub-fund to be maximised in this way. In this respect, there is therefore no question of any conflict of interest.

2.4.7 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER DATA

Fee for managing the investment portfolio: 2% per year (0.1% of which for the sustainability screening referred to in the prospectus) calculated on the basis of the average total net assets of the sub-fund, no management fee is charged on assets invested in underlying undertakings for collective investment managed by a financial institution of the KBC group.

KBC Fund Management Limited receives a fee from the management company of max. 1.9% per year calculated on that part of the portfolio that it manages, without the total management fee received by the management company being exceeded.

The administration agent’s fee is payable at the end of each month and is calculated on the basis of the average total net assets of the sub-fund. Auditor's fee: 1786 EUR per year. This fee is not including VAT and can be indexed on an annual basis in accordance with the decisions of the general meeting. The custody fee is calculated on the value of the securities held in custody by the custodian on the final banking day of the preceding calendar year, except on those assets invested in underlying undertakings for collective investment managed by a financial institution of the KBC group. The custody fee is paid at the beginning of the calendar year. Exercising voting rights. If necessary, relevant and in the interest of the shareholders, the management company will exercise the voting rights attached to the shares in the Bevek’s portfolio. The management company will adhere to the following criteria when determining how it stands relative to the items on the agenda that are put to the vote: - Shareholder value may not be adversely affected. - Corporate governance rules, especially with regard to the rights of minority shareholders, must be respected. - The minimum standards with regard to sustainable business and corporate social responsibility must be met.

2.1.3 GOAL AND KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY

SUB-FUND’S OBJECT:

The main objective of this sub-fund is to generate the highest possible return for its shareholders by investing directly or indirectly in transferable securities. This is reflected in its pursuit of capital gains and income. To this end, the assets are invested, either directly or indirectly via correlated financial instruments, primarily in shares.

SUB-FUND’S INVESTMENT POLICY:

PERMITTED ASSET CLASSES:

The sub-fund may invest in securities, money market instruments, units in undertakings for collective investment, deposits, financial derivatives, liquid assets and all other instruments insofar as permitted by the applicable laws and regulations and consistent with the sub-fund's object. The sub-fund shall invest no more than 10% of its assets in units of other undertakings for collective investment. with the sub-fund's object.

RESTRICTIONS OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY:

The investment policy will be implemented within the limits set by law and regulations. The sub-fund may borrow up to 10% of its net assets, insofar as these are short-term borrowings aimed at solving temporary liquidity problems.

PERMITTED DERIVATIVES TRANSACTIONS:

Derivatives may be used to achieve the investment objectives as well as to hedge in risks. It is possible to work with either listed or unlisted derivatives: these may be forward contracts, options or swaps on securities, indices, currencies or interest rates or other transactions involving derivatives. Unlisted derivatives transactions may only be concluded with prime financial institutions specialised in such transactions. Subject to the applicable laws and regulations and the articles of association, the sub-fund will always seek to conclude the most effective transactions. All costs associated with the transactions will be charged to the sub-fund and all income generated will be paid to the sub-fund. If the transactions result in a risk in respect of the counterparty, this risk can be hedged by using a margin management system that ensures that the sub-fund is the beneficiary of security (collateral) in the form of cash or investment grade bonds. When calculating the value of the bonds, a margin will be applied that varies depending on their residual term to maturity and the currency in which they are denominated. The relationship with the counterparty or counterparties is governed by standard international agreements. Derivatives can also be used to hedge the assets of the sub-fund against open exchange risks in relation to the currency.

41

Page 45: KBC Eco Fund - Fondsvermittlung24.de€¦ · KBC Bank N.V., 2 Havenlaan - B-1080 Brussels, Belgium. ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING MANAGEMENT: KBC Asset Management N.V., 2 Havenlaan

Where derivatives are used, they must be easily transferable and liquid instruments. Using derivatives does not, therefore, affect liquidity risk. Furthermore, using derivatives does not affect the portfolio's allocation across regions, industry sectors or themes. As a result, they have no effect on concentration risk. Derivatives may not be used to protect capital, either fully or partially. They neither increase nor decrease capital risk. In addition, using derivatives has no effect on credit risk, settlement risk, custody risk, flexibility risk or inflation risk or risk dependent on external factors.

Selected strategy

At least 75% of the assets are invested in the shares of companies in all sectors worldwide that outperform their peers in managing the environmental impact of both their production process and their end product. These companies must also have been approved by KBC Asset Management’s Sustainable and Socially Responsible Investment Department and the Independent Environmental Advisory Committee.

The shares must satisfy the following criteria: • the companies must be considered the ‘best in class’ in terms of sustainability: This means

that the companies have to be screened based on the following criteria: - economic policy and role in society business ethics and corporate governance environment - internal social relations human rights - socially controversial practices and technologies

• the companies must be considered the ‘best in class’ in environmental terms.

Each criterion is sub-divided into measurable indicators. The requirements, criteria and indicators are set out by KBC Asset Management in co-operation with the External Advisory Board for Sustainability Analysis and the Independent Environmental Advisory Committee. These requirements, criteria and indicators are constantly checked to ensure their relevance. Accordingly, the method used to conduct the sustainability screening may be changed, subject to approval by the External Advisory Board for Sustainability Analysis and the Independent Environmental Advisory Committee.

The shares are screened by KBC Asset Management’s Sustainable and Socially Responsible Investment Department, in co-operation with the External Advisory Board for Sustainability Analysis and the Independent Environmental Advisory Committee.

Because the External Advisory Board for Sustainability Analysis and the Independent Environmental Advisory Committee work independently, the assessment of companies is objective, assuring the credibility of the sustainability screening. Their task also consists in overseeing the quality of the methods used and the research carried out by KBC Asset Management.

Lending financial instruments:

The subfund is not allowed to lend financial instruments.

Volatility of the net asset value:

The volatility of the net asset value may be high due to the composition of the portfolio.

General strategy for hedging the exchange rate risk:

In order to protect its assets against exchange rate fluctuations and within the limitations laid down in the articles of association, the sub-fund may perform transactions relating to the sale of forward currency contracts, as well as the sale of call options and the purchase of put options on currencies. The transactions in question may relate solely to contracts traded on a regulated market that operates regularly, is recognised and is open to the public or that are traded with a recognised, prime financial institution specialising in such transactions and dealing in the over-the-counter (OTC) market in options. With the same objective, the sub-fund may also sell currencies forward or exchange them in private transactions with prime financial institutions specialising in such transactions.

Social, ethical and environmental aspects:

Investments may not be made in financial instruments issued by manufacturers of controversial weapons whose use over the past five decades, according to international consensus, has led to disproportionate human suffering among the civilian population. This involves the manufacturers of anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs and munitions and weapons containing depleted uranium. In addition, as of 31 March 2014 no new investments may be made in financial instruments issued by companies that do not have an anti-corruption policy and that have been given a negative score in a thorough screening for corruption in the last two years. A company has no anti-corruption policy if it cannot be demonstrated that it has an acceptable policy concerning the fight against corruption. An acceptable policy should be made public and must at least state that bribery will not be tolerated and that the law will be followed in this respect. The screening will be based on a generally accepted and independent 'Social, ethical and environmental factors' database. In this way, not only is a purely financial reality represented, but also the social reality of the sector or region. Where relevant, please refer to 'Information concerning the Bevek – Tax treatment' in the prospectus to find out more about the application of European and Belgian tax provisions.

2.1.4 FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

The management company has delegated the intellectual management, with the exception of the sustainability screening described in the prospectus, to KBC Fund Management Limited, Joshua Dawson House, Dawson Street , Dublin 2, IRELAND..

2.1.5 DISTRIBUTORS

KBC Asset Management S.A., 5, Place de la Gare, L-1616 Luxembourg.

2.1.6 INDEX AND BENCHMARK

See ‘Sub-fund’s investment policy’.

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

KBC Eco Fund World underperformed the broad developed equity market over the twelve-month period to end August 2016. Stock selection was mixed over the period. Sector performance was positive for Materials and Healthcare. In terms of underperformers, Consumer Discretionary and Telecommunication Services are the worst.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

Please refer to the general future policy.

2.1.9 SYNTHETIC RISK AND REWARD INDICATOR

Classic Shares: 6 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). Institutional B-Shares: 6 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). The value of a share can decrease or increase and the investor may not get back the amount invested. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No. 583/2010, a synthetic risk and reward indicator has been calculated. This indicator provides a quantitative measure of the sub-fund's potential return and the risk involved, calculated in the currency in which the sub-fund is denominated. It is given as a figure between 1 and 7. The higher the figure, the greater the potential return, but also the more difficult it is to predict this return. Losses are possible too. The lowest figure does not mean that the investment is entirely free of risk. However, it does indicate that, compared with the higher figures, this product will generally provide a lower, but more predictable return. The synthetic risk and reward indicator is assessed regularly and can therefore go up or down based on data from the past. Data from the past is not always a reliable indicator of future risk and return.

The table above shows the capital volume of portfolio transactions. This volume (adjusted to take account of total subscriptions and redemptions) is also compared to the average net assets at the beginning and end of the period. A figure close to 0% implies that the transactions relating to the securities or transactions relating to the assets (excluding deposits and cash) in a given period only involve subscriptions and redemptions. A negative percentage shows that subscriptions and redemptions entailed few, if any, transactions in the portfolio. Active asset management may result in high turnover rates (monthly percentage >50%), reason: Universe rebalance. The detailed list of transactions is available for consultation free of charge at the registered office of the Bevek or fund at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.

The bar chart shows the performance for full financial years.

The figures do not take account of any restructuring.

Calculated in EUR (ex BEF).

the return is calculated as the change in the net asset value between two dates expressed as a percentage. In the case of units that pay dividends, the dividend is incorporated geometrically in the return.

Calculation method for date D, where NAV stands for net asset value: Capitalisation units (CAP) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[NAV(D) / NAV(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [NAV(D) / NAV(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

Distribution units (DIV) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[ C * NAV(D) / NAV(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [ C * NAV(D) / NAV(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

where C is a factor that is determined for all N dividends between the calculation date D and the reference date. For dividend i on date Di with value Wi:

Ci = [Wi / NAV(Di)] + 1 i = 1 ... N

from which C = C0 * .... * CN.

If the interval between the two dates exceeds one year, the ordinary return calculation is converted into a return on an annual basis by taking the nth square root of 1 plus the total

return of the unit.

The return figures shown above do not take account of the fees and charges associated with the issue and redemption of units.

These are the performance figures for capitalisation and distribution shares.

FEE-SHARING AGREEMENTS AND REBATES:

The management company may share its fee with the distributor, and institutional and/or professional parties. In principle, the percentage share amounts to between 35% and 60% if the distributor is an entity of KBC Group NV or to between 35% and 70% if the distributor is not an entity of KBC Group NV. However, in a small number of cases, the distributor’s fee is less than 35%. Investors may, on request, obtain more information on these cases. If the management company invests the assets of the undertaking for collective investment in units of undertakings for collective investment that are not managed by an entity of KBC Group NV, and receives a fee for doing so, it will pay this fee to the undertaking for collective investment. Fee-sharing does not affect the amount of the management fee paid by the sub-fund to the management company. This management fee is subject to the limitations laid down in the articles of association. The limitations may only be amended after approval by the general meeting of shareholders. The management company has concluded a distribution agreement with the distributor in order to facilitate the wider distribution of the sub-fund's units by using multiple distribution channels. It is in the interests of the holders of units, the sub-fund and of the distributor for the largest possible number of units to be sold and for the assets of the sub-fund to be maximised in this way. In this respect, there is therefore no question of any conflict of interest.

2.4.7 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER DATA

Fee for managing the investment portfolio: 1.5% per year (0.1% of which for the sustainability screening referred to in the prospectus) calculated on the basis of the average total net assets of the sub-fund, no management fee is charged on assets invested in underlying undertakings for collective investment managed by a financial institution of the KBC group.

KBC Fund Management Limited receives a fee from the management company of max. 1.4% per year calculated on that part of the portfolio that it manages, without the total management fee received by the management company being exceeded.

The administration agent’s fee is payable at the end of each month and is calculated on the basis of the average total net assets of the sub-fund. Auditor's fee: 1786 EUR per year. This fee is not including VAT and can be indexed on an annual basis in accordance with the decisions of the general meeting. The custody fee is calculated on the value of the securities held in custody by the custodian on the final banking day of the preceding calendar year, except on those assets invested in underlying undertakings for collective investment managed by a financial institution of the KBC group. The custody fee is paid at the beginning of the calendar year. Exercising voting rights. If necessary, relevant and in the interest of the shareholders, the management company will exercise the voting rights attached to the shares in the Bevek’s portfolio. The management company will adhere to the following criteria when determining how it stands relative to the items on the agenda that are put to the vote: - Shareholder value may not be adversely affected. - Corporate governance rules, especially with regard to the rights of minority shareholders, must be respected. - The minimum standards with regard to sustainable business and corporate social responsibility must be met. The list of companies for which voting rights are exercised is available at the registered office of the Bevek.

2.1.3 GOAL AND KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY

SUB-FUND’S OBJECT:

The main objective of this sub-fund is to generate the highest possible return for its shareholders by investing directly or indirectly in transferable securities. This is reflected in its pursuit of capital gains and income. To this end, the assets are invested, either directly or indirectly via correlated financial instruments, primarily in shares.

SUB-FUND’S INVESTMENT POLICY:

PERMITTED ASSET CLASSES:

The sub-fund may invest in securities, money market instruments, units in undertakings for collective investment, deposits, financial derivatives, liquid assets and all other instruments insofar as permitted by the applicable laws and regulations and consistent with the sub-fund's object. The sub-fund shall invest no more than 10% of its assets in units of other undertakings for collective investment. with the sub-fund's object.

RESTRICTIONS OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY:

The investment policy will be implemented within the limits set by law and regulations. The sub-fund may borrow up to 10% of its net assets, insofar as these are short-term borrowings aimed at solving temporary liquidity problems.

PERMITTED DERIVATIVES TRANSACTIONS:

Derivatives may be used to achieve the investment objectives as well as to hedge in risks. It is possible to work with either listed or unlisted derivatives: these may be forward contracts, options or swaps on securities, indices, currencies or interest rates or other transactions involving derivatives. Unlisted derivatives transactions may only be concluded with prime financial institutions specialised in such transactions. Subject to the applicable laws and regulations and the articles of association, the sub-fund will always seek to conclude the most effective transactions. All costs associated with the transactions will be charged to the sub-fund and all income generated will be paid to the sub-fund. If the transactions result in a risk in respect of the counterparty, this risk can be hedged by using a margin management system that ensures that the sub-fund is the beneficiary of security (collateral) in the form of cash or investment grade bonds. When calculating the value of the bonds, a margin will be applied that varies depending on their residual term to maturity and the currency in which they are denominated. The relationship with the counterparty or counterparties is governed by standard international agreements. Derivatives can also be used to hedge the assets of the sub-fund against open exchange risks in relation to the currency.

64

Page 68: KBC Eco Fund - Fondsvermittlung24.de€¦ · KBC Bank N.V., 2 Havenlaan - B-1080 Brussels, Belgium. ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING MANAGEMENT: KBC Asset Management N.V., 2 Havenlaan

Where derivatives are used, they must be easily transferable and liquid instruments. Using derivatives does not, therefore, affect liquidity risk. Furthermore, using derivatives does not affect the portfolio's allocation across regions, industry sectors or themes. As a result, they have no effect on concentration risk. Derivatives may not be used to protect capital, either fully or partially. They neither increase nor decrease capital risk. In addition, using derivatives has no effect on credit risk, settlement risk, custody risk, flexibility risk or inflation risk or risk dependent on external factors.

Selected strategy

At any time, at least 75% of the assets are invested in the shares of companies that that operate on a sustainable basis in the alternative energy sector. These companies have to realize a substantial proportion of their turnover in this sector.

The companies have to satisfy a number of basic criteria regarding the environment, human rights, the trade and manufacture of arms, and nuclear energy. The basic criteria are set out by KBC Asset Management in co-operation with the Independent Environmental Advisory Committee. They may also change the method used to perform the sustainability screening, based on new trends in society.

The shares are screened by KBC Asset Management’s Sustainable and Socially Responsible Investment Department and the independent Environmental Advisory Committee.

VOLATILITY OF THE NET ASSET VALUE

The volatility of the net asset value may be high due to the composition of the portfolio.

Lending financial instruments:

The subfund is not allowed to lend financial instruments.

General strategy for hedging the exchange rate risk:

In order to protect its assets against exchange rate fluctuations and within the limitations laid down in the articles of association, the sub-fund may perform transactions relating to the sale of forward currency contracts, as well as the sale of call options and the purchase of put options on currencies. The transactions in question may relate solely to contracts traded on a regulated market that operates regularly, is recognised and is open to the public or that are traded with a recognised, prime financial institution specialising in such transactions and dealing in the over-the-counter (OTC) market in options. With the same objective, the sub-fund may also sell currencies forward or exchange them in private transactions with prime financial institutions specialising in such transactions.

Social, ethical and environmental aspects:

Investments may not be made in financial instruments issued by manufacturers of controversial weapons whose use over the past five decades, according to international consensus, has led to disproportionate human suffering among the civilian population. This involves the manufacturers of anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs and munitions and weapons containing depleted uranium. In addition, as of 31 March 2014 no new investments may be made in financial instruments issued by companies that do not have an anti-corruption policy and that have been given a negative score in a thorough screening for corruption in the last two years. A company has no anti-corruption policy if it cannot be demonstrated that it has an acceptable policy concerning the fight against corruption. An acceptable policy should be made public and must at least state that bribery will not be tolerated and that the law will be followed in this respect. The screening will be based on a generally accepted and independent 'Social, ethical and environmental factors' database. In this way, not only is a purely financial reality represented, but also the social reality of the sector or region. Where relevant, please refer to 'Information concerning the Bevek – Tax treatment' in the prospectus to find out more about the application of European and Belgian tax provisions.

2.1.4 FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

The management company has delegated the intellectual management, with the exception of the sustainability screening described in the prospectus, to KBC Fund Management Limited, Joshua Dawson House, Dawson Street , Dublin 2, IRELAND..

2.1.6 INDEX AND BENCHMARK

See ‘Sub-fund’s investment policy’.

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

KBC Eco Fund Alternative Energy underperformed the broad equity market over the twelve month period to end August 2016. The main outperforming sectors over the period were Materials and Utilities. In terms of underperformers, IT stocks, led by solar producers, were the worst performers in the period.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

Whilst we believe in the long-term that alternative energy is a theme that will generate positive returns, in the medium-term we see challenges and volatility. Recent over-supply in the solar sector, most notably in China, has led to falling prices and margins for producers. The global trend of phasing out renewable energy tax credits for wind and solar projects compounds this. On the utilities side, persistently low fossil fuel prices is pushing down the prices being paid to solar and wind producers, further constricting margins. However, the increased emphasis on energy efficiency and storage, which fall under the fund’s remit, present opportunities to generate returns in other areas.

2.1.9 SYNTHETIC RISK AND REWARD INDICATOR

Classic Shares: 6 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). Institutional B-Shares: 6 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). The value of a share can decrease or increase and the investor may not get back the amount invested. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No. 583/2010, a synthetic risk and reward indicator has been calculated. This indicator provides a quantitative measure of the sub-fund's potential return and the risk involved, calculated in the currency in which the sub-fund is denominated. It is given as a figure between 1 and 7. The higher the figure, the greater the potential return, but also the more difficult it is to predict this return. Losses are possible too. The lowest figure does not mean that the investment is entirely free of risk. However, it does indicate that, compared with the higher figures, this product will generally provide a lower, but more predictable return. The synthetic risk and reward indicator is assessed regularly and can therefore go up or down based on data from the past. Data from the past is not always a reliable indicator of future risk and return.

The table above shows the capital volume of portfolio transactions. This volume (adjusted to take account of total subscriptions and redemptions) is also compared to the average net assets at the beginning and end of the period. A figure close to 0% implies that the transactions relating to the securities or transactions relating to the assets (excluding deposits and cash) in a given period only involve subscriptions and redemptions. A negative percentage shows that subscriptions and redemptions entailed few, if any, transactions in the portfolio. Active asset management may result in high turnover rates (monthly percentage >50%), reason: Universe rebalance. The detailed list of transactions is available for consultation free of charge at the registered office of the Bevek or fund at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.

The bar chart shows the performance for full financial years.

The figures do not take account of any restructuring.

Calculated in EUR.

the return is calculated as the change in the net asset value between two dates expressed as a percentage. In the case of units that pay dividends, the dividend is incorporated geometrically in the return.

Calculation method for date D, where NAV stands for net asset value: Capitalisation units (CAP) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[NAV(D) / NAV(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [NAV(D) / NAV(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

Distribution units (DIV) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[ C * NAV(D) / NAV(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [ C * NAV(D) / NAV(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

where C is a factor that is determined for all N dividends between the calculation date D and the reference date. For dividend i on date Di with value Wi:

Ci = [Wi / NAV(Di)] + 1 i = 1 ... N

from which C = C0 * .... * CN.

If the interval between the two dates exceeds one year, the ordinary return calculation is converted into a return on an annual basis by taking the nth square root of 1 plus the total

return of the unit.

The return figures shown above do not take account of the fees and charges associated with the issue and redemption of units.

These are the performance figures for capitalisation and distribution shares.

FEE-SHARING AGREEMENTS AND REBATES:

The management company may share its fee with the distributor, and institutional and/or professional parties. In principle, the percentage share amounts to between 35% and 60% if the distributor is an entity of KBC Group NV or to between 35% and 70% if the distributor is not an entity of KBC Group NV. However, in a small number of cases, the distributor’s fee is less than 35%. Investors may, on request, obtain more information on these cases. If the management company invests the assets of the undertaking for collective investment in units of undertakings for collective investment that are not managed by an entity of KBC Group NV, and receives a fee for doing so, it will pay this fee to the undertaking for collective investment. Fee-sharing does not affect the amount of the management fee paid by the sub-fund to the management company. This management fee is subject to the limitations laid down in the articles of association. The limitations may only be amended after approval by the general meeting of shareholders. The management company has concluded a distribution agreement with the distributor in order to facilitate the wider distribution of the sub-fund's units by using multiple distribution channels. It is in the interests of the holders of units, the sub-fund and of the distributor for the largest possible number of units to be sold and for the assets of the sub-fund to be maximised in this way. In this respect, there is therefore no question of any conflict of interest.

2.4.7 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER DATA

Fee for managing the investment portfolio: 1.5% per year (0.1% of which for the sustainability screening referred to in the prospectus) calculated on the basis of the average total net assets of the sub-fund, no management fee is charged on assets invested in underlying undertakings for collective investment managed by a financial institution of the KBC group.

KBC Fund Management Limited receives a fee from the management company of max. 1.4% per year calculated on that part of the portfolio that it manages, without the total management fee received by the management company being exceeded.

The administration agent’s fee is payable at the end of each month and is calculated on the basis of the average total net assets of the sub-fund. Auditor's fee: 1786 EUR per year. This fee is not including VAT and can be indexed on an annual basis in accordance with the decisions of the general meeting. The custody fee is calculated on the value of the securities held in custody by the custodian on the final banking day of the preceding calendar year, except on those assets invested in underlying undertakings for collective investment managed by a financial institution of the KBC group. The custody fee is paid at the beginning of the calendar year. Exercising voting rights. If necessary, relevant and in the interest of the shareholders, the management company will exercise the voting rights attached to the shares in the Bevek’s portfolio. The management company will adhere to the following criteria when determining how it stands relative to the items on the agenda that are put to the vote: - Shareholder value may not be adversely affected. - Corporate governance rules, especially with regard to the rights of minority shareholders, must be respected. - The minimum standards with regard to sustainable business and corporate social responsibility must be met. The list of companies for which voting rights are exercised is available at the registered office of the Bevek.

2.1.3 GOAL AND KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY

SUB-FUND’S OBJECT:

The main objective of this sub-fund is to generate the highest possible return for its shareholders by investing directly or indirectly in transferable securities. This is reflected in its pursuit of capital gains and income. To this end, the assets are invested, either directly or indirectly via correlated financial instruments, primarily in shares.

SUB-FUND’S INVESTMENT POLICY:

PERMITTED ASSET CLASSES:

The sub-fund may invest in securities, money market instruments, units in undertakings for collective investment, deposits, financial derivatives, liquid assets and all other instruments insofar as permitted by the applicable laws and regulations and consistent with the sub-fund's object. The sub-fund shall invest no more than 10% of its assets in units of other undertakings for collective investment. with the sub-fund's object.

RESTRICTIONS OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY:

The investment policy will be implemented within the limits set by law and regulations. The sub-fund may borrow up to 10% of its net assets, insofar as these are short-term borrowings aimed at solving temporary liquidity problems.

PERMITTED DERIVATIVES TRANSACTIONS:

Derivatives may be used to achieve the investment objectives as well as to hedge in risks. It is possible to work with either listed or unlisted derivatives: these may be forward contracts, options or swaps on securities, indices, currencies or interest rates or other transactions involving derivatives. Unlisted derivatives transactions may only be concluded with prime financial institutions specialised in such transactions. Subject to the applicable laws and regulations and the articles of association, the sub-fund will always seek to conclude the most effective transactions. All costs associated with the transactions will be charged to the sub-fund and all income generated will be paid to the sub-fund. If the transactions result in a risk in respect of the counterparty, this risk can be hedged by using a margin management system that ensures that the sub-fund is the beneficiary of security (collateral) in the form of cash or investment grade bonds. When calculating the value of the bonds, a margin will be applied that varies depending on their residual term to maturity and the currency in which they are denominated. The relationship with the counterparty or counterparties is governed by standard international agreements. Derivatives can also be used to hedge the assets of the sub-fund against open exchange risks in relation to the currency.

84

Page 88: KBC Eco Fund - Fondsvermittlung24.de€¦ · KBC Bank N.V., 2 Havenlaan - B-1080 Brussels, Belgium. ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING MANAGEMENT: KBC Asset Management N.V., 2 Havenlaan

Where derivatives are used, they must be easily transferable and liquid instruments. Using derivatives does not, therefore, affect liquidity risk. Furthermore, using derivatives does not affect the portfolio's allocation across regions, industry sectors or themes. As a result, they have no effect on concentration risk. Derivatives may not be used to protect capital, either fully or partially. They neither increase nor decrease capital risk. In addition, using derivatives has no effect on credit risk, settlement risk, custody risk, flexibility risk or inflation risk or risk dependent on external factors.

Selected strategy

At any time, at least 75% of the assets are invested, in the shares of companies that operate on a sustainable basis in the water sector. These companies have to realize a substantial proportion of their turnover in this sector.

The companies have to satisfy a number of basic criteria regarding the environment, human rights, the trade and manufacture of arms, and nuclear energy. The basic criteria are set out by KBC Asset Management in co-operation with the Independent Environmental Advisory Committee. They may also change the method used to perform the sustainability screening, based on new trends in society.

The shares are screened by KBC Asset Management’s Sustainable and Socially Responsible Investment Department and the External Advisory Board for Sustainability Analysis.

Lending financial instruments:

The subfund is not allowed to lend financial instruments.

General strategy for hedging the exchange rate risk:

In order to protect its assets against exchange rate fluctuations and within the limitations laid down in the articles of association, the sub-fund may perform transactions relating to the sale of forward currency contracts, as well as the sale of call options and the purchase of put options on currencies. The transactions in question may relate solely to contracts traded on a regulated market that operates regularly, is recognised and is open to the public or that are traded with a recognised, prime financial institution specialising in such transactions and dealing in the over-the-counter (OTC) market in options. With the same objective, the sub-fund may also sell currencies forward or exchange them in private transactions with prime financial institutions specialising in such transactions.

Social, ethical and environmental aspects:

Investments may not be made in financial instruments issued by manufacturers of controversial weapons whose use over the past five decades, according to international consensus, has led to disproportionate human suffering among the civilian population. This involves the manufacturers of anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs and munitions and weapons containing depleted uranium. In addition, as of 31 March 2014 no new investments may be made in financial instruments issued by companies that do not have an anti-corruption policy and that have been given a negative score in a thorough screening for corruption in the last two years. A company has no anti-corruption policy if it cannot be demonstrated that it has an acceptable policy concerning the fight against corruption. An acceptable policy should be made public and must at least state that bribery will not be tolerated and that the law will be followed in this respect. The screening will be based on a generally accepted and independent 'Social, ethical and environmental factors' database. In this way, not only is a purely financial reality represented, but also the social reality of the sector or region. Where relevant, please refer to 'Information concerning the Bevek – Tax treatment' in the prospectus to find out more about the application of European and Belgian tax provisions.

2.1.4 FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

The management company has delegated the intellectual management, with the exception of the sustainability screening described in the prospectus, to KBC Fund Management Limited, Joshua Dawson House, Dawson Street , Dublin 2, IRELAND..

2.1.9 SYNTHETIC RISK AND REWARD INDICATOR

Classic Shares: 6 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). Institutional B-Shares: 6 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). The value of a share can decrease or increase and the investor may not get back the amount invested. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No. 583/2010, a synthetic risk and reward indicator has been calculated. This indicator provides a quantitative measure of the sub-fund's potential return and the risk involved, calculated in the currency in which the sub-fund is denominated. It is given as a figure between 1 and 7. The higher the figure, the greater the potential return, but also the more difficult it is to predict this return. Losses are possible too. The lowest figure does not mean that the investment is entirely free of risk. However, it does indicate that, compared with the higher figures, this product will generally provide a lower, but more predictable return. The synthetic risk and reward indicator is assessed regularly and can therefore go up or down based on data from the past. Data from the past is not always a reliable indicator of future risk and return.

The table above shows the capital volume of portfolio transactions. This volume (adjusted to take account of total subscriptions and redemptions) is also compared to the average net assets at the beginning and end of the period. A figure close to 0% implies that the transactions relating to the securities or transactions relating to the assets (excluding deposits and cash) in a given period only involve subscriptions and redemptions. A negative percentage shows that subscriptions and redemptions entailed few, if any, transactions in the portfolio. Active asset management may result in high turnover rates (monthly percentage >50%). The detailed list of transactions is available for consultation free of charge at the registered office of the Bevek or fund at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.

The bar chart shows the performance for full financial years.

The figures do not take account of any restructuring.

Calculated in EUR.

the return is calculated as the change in the net asset value between two dates expressed as a percentage. In the case of units that pay dividends, the dividend is incorporated geometrically in the return.

Calculation method for date D, where NAV stands for net asset value: Capitalisation units (CAP) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[NAV(D) / NAV(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [NAV(D) / NAV(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

Distribution units (DIV) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[ C * NAV(D) / NAV(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [ C * NAV(D) / NAV(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

where C is a factor that is determined for all N dividends between the calculation date D and the reference date. For dividend i on date Di with value Wi:

Ci = [Wi / NAV(Di)] + 1 i = 1 ... N

from which C = C0 * .... * CN.

If the interval between the two dates exceeds one year, the ordinary return calculation is converted into a return on an annual basis by taking the nth square root of 1 plus the total

return of the unit.

The return figures shown above do not take account of the fees and charges associated with the issue and redemption of units.

These are the performance figures for capitalisation and distribution shares.

FEE-SHARING AGREEMENTS AND REBATES:

The management company may share its fee with the distributor, and institutional and/or professional parties. In principle, the percentage share amounts to between 35% and 60% if the distributor is an entity of KBC Group NV or to between 35% and 70% if the distributor is not an entity of KBC Group NV. However, in a small number of cases, the distributor’s fee is less than 35%. Investors may, on request, obtain more information on these cases. If the management company invests the assets of the undertaking for collective investment in units of undertakings for collective investment that are not managed by an entity of KBC Group NV, and receives a fee for doing so, it will pay this fee to the undertaking for collective investment. Fee-sharing does not affect the amount of the management fee paid by the sub-fund to the management company. This management fee is subject to the limitations laid down in the articles of association. The limitations may only be amended after approval by the general meeting of shareholders. The management company has concluded a distribution agreement with the distributor in order to facilitate the wider distribution of the sub-fund's units by using multiple distribution channels. It is in the interests of the holders of units, the sub-fund and of the distributor for the largest possible number of units to be sold and for the assets of the sub-fund to be maximised in this way. In this respect, there is therefore no question of any conflict of interest.

2.4.7 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER DATA

Fee for managing the investment portfolio: 1.5% per year (0.1% of which for the sustainability screening referred to in the prospectus) calculated on the basis of the average total net assets of the sub-fund, no management fee is charged on assets invested in underlying undertakings for collective investment managed by a financial institution of the KBC group.

KBC Fund Management Limited receives a fee from the management company of max. 1.4% per year calculated on that part of the portfolio that it manages, without the total management fee received by the management company being exceeded.

The administration agent’s fee is payable at the end of each month and is calculated on the basis of the average total net assets of the sub-fund. Auditor's fee: 1786 EUR per year. This fee is not including VAT and can be indexed on an annual basis in accordance with the decisions of the general meeting. The custody fee is calculated on the value of the securities held in custody by the custodian on the final banking day of the preceding calendar year, except on those assets invested in underlying undertakings for collective investment managed by a financial institution of the KBC group. The custody fee is paid at the beginning of the calendar year. Exercising voting rights.

2.1.3 GOAL AND KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY

SUB-FUND’S OBJECT:

The main objective of this sub-fund is to generate the highest possible return for its shareholders by investing directly or indirectly in transferable securities. This is reflected in its pursuit of capital gains and income. To this end, the assets are invested, either directly or indirectly via correlated financial instruments, primarily in shares.

SUB-FUND’S INVESTMENT POLICY:

PERMITTED ASSET CLASSES:

The sub-fund may invest in securities, money market instruments, units in undertakings for collective investment, deposits, financial derivatives, liquid assets and all other instruments insofar as permitted by the applicable laws and regulations and consistent with the sub-fund's object. The sub-fund shall invest no more than 10% of its assets in units of other undertakings for collective investment. with the sub-fund's object.

RESTRICTIONS OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY:

The investment policy will be implemented within the limits set by law and regulations. The sub-fund may borrow up to 10% of its net assets, insofar as these are short-term borrowings aimed at solving temporary liquidity problems.

PERMITTED DERIVATIVES TRANSACTIONS:

Derivatives may be used to achieve the investment objectives as well as to hedge in risks. It is possible to work with either listed or unlisted derivatives: these may be forward contracts, options or swaps on securities, indices, currencies or interest rates or other transactions involving derivatives. Unlisted derivatives transactions may only be concluded with prime financial institutions specialised in such transactions. Subject to the applicable laws and regulations and the articles of association, the sub-fund will always seek to conclude the most effective transactions. All costs associated with the transactions will be charged to the sub-fund and all income generated will be paid to the sub-fund. If the transactions result in a risk in respect of the counterparty, this risk can be hedged by using a margin management system that ensures that the sub-fund is the beneficiary of security (collateral) in the form of cash or investment grade bonds. When calculating the value of the bonds, a margin will be applied that varies depending on their residual term to maturity and the currency in which they are denominated. The relationship with the counterparty or counterparties is governed by standard international agreements. Derivatives can also be used to hedge the assets of the sub-fund against open exchange risks in relation to the currency. Where derivatives are used, they must be easily transferable and liquid instruments. Using derivatives does not, therefore, affect liquidity risk. Furthermore, using derivatives does not affect the portfolio's allocation across regions, industry sectors or themes. As a result, they have no effect on concentration risk. Derivatives may not be used to protect capital, either fully or partially. They neither increase nor decrease capital risk. In addition, using derivatives has no effect on credit risk, settlement risk, custody risk, flexibility risk or inflation risk or risk dependent on external factors.

Selected strategy At least 75% of the assets are invested in the shares of companies worldwide that contribute to sustainable development as described by the Brundtland Commission already in 1987: “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. As such sustainable development ties together the concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social and economic challenges faced by humanity.It is built on the interaction of three pillars: social development economic development environmental protection The investment philosophy is based on the concept of impact investing. These are investments made into shares of companies with the intention to generate social and environmental impact alongside a financial return via their offering of products and/or services.

The companies are screened and selected by KBC Asset Management’s Investment Research Department, in co- operation with an independent external board. Companies that via their offering of products and/or services have a positive impact on a sustainability/impact theme are potential candidates for inclusion. The impact a company has on the theme via its core business will be measured and evaluated on a regular basis. The selected companies must comply with all SRI exclusion criteria applicable to general SRI funds offered by KBC Asset Management. KBC Asset Management is co-operating with an independent external board of experts to assure the credibility of the sustainability screening and to oversee the quality of the methods used and the research carried out by KBC Asset Management

Lending financial instruments:

The subfund is not allowed to lend financial instruments.

Volatility of the net asset value:

The volatility of the net asset value may be high due to the composition of the portfolio.

General strategy for hedging the exchange rate risk:

In order to protect its assets against exchange rate fluctuations and within the limitations laid down in the articles of association, the sub-fund may perform transactions relating to the sale of forward currency contracts, as well as the sale of call options and the purchase of put options on currencies. The transactions in question may relate solely to contracts traded on a regulated market that operates regularly, is recognised and is open to the public or that are traded with a recognised, prime financial institution specialising in such transactions and dealing in the over-the-counter (OTC) market in options. With the same objective, the sub-fund may also sell currencies forward or exchange them in private transactions with prime financial institutions specialising in such transactions.

Social, ethical and environmental aspects:

Investments may not be made in financial instruments issued by manufacturers of controversial weapons whose use over the past five decades, according to international consensus, has led to disproportionate human suffering among the civilian population. This involves the manufacturers of anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs and munitions and weapons containing depleted uranium. In addition, as of 31 March 2014 no new investments may be made in financial instruments issued by companies that do not have an anti-corruption policy and that have been given a negative score in a thorough screening for corruption in the last two years. A company has no anti-corruption policy if it cannot be demonstrated that it has an acceptable policy concerning the fight against corruption. An acceptable policy should be made public and must at least state that bribery will not be tolerated and that the law will be followed in this respect. The screening will be based on a generally accepted and independent 'Social, ethical and environmental factors' database. In this way, not only is a purely financial reality represented, but also the social reality of the sector or region. Where relevant, please refer to 'Information concerning the Bevek – Tax treatment' in the prospectus to find out more about the application of European and Belgian tax provisions.

6 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). The value of a share can decrease or increase and the investor may not get back the amount invested. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No. 583/2010, a synthetic risk and reward indicator has been calculated. This indicator provides a quantitative measure of the sub-fund's potential return and the risk involved, calculated in the currency in which the sub-fund is denominated. It is given as a figure between 1 and 7. The higher the figure, the greater the potential return, but also the more difficult it is to predict this return. Losses are possible too. The lowest figure does not mean that the investment is entirely free of risk. However, it does indicate that, compared with the higher figures, this product will generally provide a lower, but more predictable return. The synthetic risk and reward indicator is assessed regularly and can therefore go up or down based on data from the past. Data from the past is not always a reliable indicator of future risk and return.

The table above shows the capital volume of portfolio transactions. This volume (adjusted to take account of total subscriptions and redemptions) is also compared to the average net assets at the beginning and end of the period. A figure close to 0% implies that the transactions relating to the securities or transactions relating to the assets (excluding deposits and cash) in a given period only involve subscriptions and redemptions. A negative percentage shows that subscriptions and redemptions entailed few, if any, transactions in the portfolio. Active asset management may result in high turnover rates (monthly percentage >50%). The detailed list of transactions is available for consultation free of charge at the registered office of the Bevek or fund at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.

The bar chart shows the performance for full financial years.

The figures do not take account of any restructuring.

Calculated in EUR.

the return is calculated as the change in the net asset value between two dates expressed as a percentage. In the case of units that pay dividends, the dividend is incorporated geometrically in the return.

Calculation method for date D, where NAV stands for net asset value: Capitalisation units (CAP) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[NAV(D) / NAV(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [NAV(D) / NAV(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

Distribution units (DIV) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[ C * NAV(D) / NAV(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [ C * NAV(D) / NAV(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

where C is a factor that is determined for all N dividends between the calculation date D and the reference date. For dividend i on date Di with value Wi:

Ci = [Wi / NAV(Di)] + 1 i = 1 ... N

from which C = C0 * .... * CN.

If the interval between the two dates exceeds one year, the ordinary return calculation is converted into a return on an annual basis by taking the nth square root of 1 plus the total return of the unit.

The return figures shown above do not take account of the fees and charges associated with the issue and redemption of units.

These are the performance figures for capitalisation and distribution shares. Dividend on ex-dividend date 30/11/2016: 3,6088 EUR net (4,9435 EUR gross).

FEE-SHARING AGREEMENTS AND REBATES:

The management company may share its fee with the distributor, and institutional and/or professional parties. In principle, the percentage share amounts to between 35% and 60% if the distributor is an entity of KBC Group NV or to between 35% and 70% if the distributor is not an entity of KBC Group NV. However, in a small number of cases, the distributor’s fee is less than 35%. Investors may, on request, obtain more information on these cases. If the management company invests the assets of the undertaking for collective investment in units of undertakings for collective investment that are not managed by an entity of KBC Group NV, and receives a fee for doing so, it will pay this fee to the undertaking for collective investment. Fee-sharing does not affect the amount of the management fee paid by the sub-fund to the management company. This management fee is subject to the limitations laid down in the articles of association. The limitations may only be amended after approval by the general meeting of shareholders. The management company has concluded a distribution agreement with the distributor in order to facilitate the wider distribution of the sub-fund's units by using multiple distribution channels. It is in the interests of the holders of units, the sub-fund and of the distributor for the largest possible number of units to be sold and for the assets of the sub-fund to be maximised in this way. In this respect, there is therefore no question of any conflict of interest.

2.4.7 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER DATA

Fee for managing the investment portfolio: 1.5% per year (0.1% of which for the sustainability screening referred to in the prospectus) calculated on the basis of the average total net assets of the sub-fund, no management fee is charged on assets invested in underlying undertakings for collective investment managed by a financial institution of the KBC group.

KBC Fund Management Limited receives a fee from the management company of max. 1.4% per year calculated on that part of the portfolio that it manages, without the total management fee received by the management company being exceeded.

The administration agent’s fee is payable at the end of each month and is calculated on the basis of the average total net assets of the sub-fund. Auditor's fee: 1786 EUR per year. This fee is not including VAT and can be indexed on an annual basis in accordance with the decisions of the general meeting. The custody fee is calculated on the value of the securities held in custody by the custodian on the final banking day of the preceding calendar year, except on those assets invested in underlying undertakings for collective investment managed by a financial institution of the KBC group. The custody fee is paid at the beginning of the calendar year. Exercising voting rights. If necessary, relevant and in the interest of the shareholders, the management company will exercise the voting rights attached to the shares in the Bevek’s portfolio. The management company will adhere to the following criteria when determining how it stands relative to the items on the agenda that are put to the vote: - Shareholder value may not be adversely affected. - Corporate governance rules, especially with regard to the rights of minority shareholders, must be respected. - The minimum standards with regard to sustainable business and corporate social responsibility must be met. The list of companies for which voting rights are exercised is available at the registered office of the Bevek.

2.1.3 GOAL AND KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY

SUB-FUND’S OBJECT:

The main objective of this sub-fund is to generate the highest possible return for its shareholders by investing directly or indirectly in transferable securities. This is reflected in its pursuit of capital gains and income. To this end, the assets are invested, either directly or indirectly via correlated financial instruments, primarily in shares.

SUB-FUND’S INVESTMENT POLICY:

PERMITTED ASSET CLASSES:

The sub-fund may invest in securities, money market instruments, units in undertakings for collective investment, deposits, financial derivatives, liquid assets and all other instruments insofar as permitted by the applicable laws and regulations and consistent with the sub-fund's object. The sub-fund shall invest no more than 10% of its assets in units of other undertakings for collective investment. with the sub-fund's object.

RESTRICTIONS OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY:

The investment policy will be implemented within the limits set by law and regulations. The sub-fund may borrow up to 10% of its net assets, insofar as these are short-term borrowings aimed at solving temporary liquidity problems.

PERMITTED DERIVATIVES TRANSACTIONS:

Derivatives may be used to achieve the investment objectives as well as to hedge in risks. It is possible to work with either listed or unlisted derivatives: these may be forward contracts, options or swaps on securities, indices, currencies or interest rates or other transactions involving derivatives. Unlisted derivatives transactions may only be concluded with prime financial institutions specialised in such transactions. Subject to the applicable laws and regulations and the articles of association, the sub-fund will always seek to conclude the most effective transactions. All costs associated with the transactions will be charged to the sub-fund and all income generated will be paid to the sub-fund. If the transactions result in a risk in respect of the counterparty, this risk can be hedged by using a margin management system that ensures that the sub-fund is the beneficiary of security (collateral) in the form of cash or investment grade bonds. When calculating the value of the bonds, a margin will be applied that varies depending on their residual term to maturity and the currency in which they are denominated. The relationship with the counterparty or counterparties is governed by standard international agreements. Derivatives can also be used to hedge the assets of the sub-fund against open exchange risks in relation to the currency.

124

Page 128: KBC Eco Fund - Fondsvermittlung24.de€¦ · KBC Bank N.V., 2 Havenlaan - B-1080 Brussels, Belgium. ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING MANAGEMENT: KBC Asset Management N.V., 2 Havenlaan

Where derivatives are used, they must be easily transferable and liquid instruments. Using derivatives does not, therefore, affect liquidity risk. Furthermore, using derivatives does not affect the portfolio's allocation across regions, industry sectors or themes. As a result, they have no effect on concentration risk. Derivatives may not be used to protect capital, either fully or partially. They neither increase nor decrease capital risk. In addition, using derivatives has no effect on credit risk, settlement risk, custody risk, flexibility risk or inflation risk or risk dependent on external factors.

Selected strategy

At any time, at least 75% of the assets are invested, directly or indirectly, in companies that operate on a sustainable basis in combating climate change and/or focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These companies have to realize a substantial proportion of their turnover in this sector.

The companies have to satisfy a number of basic criteria regarding the environment, human rights, the trade and manufacture of arms, and nuclear energy. The basic criteria are set out by KBC Asset Management in co-operation with the Independent Environmental Advisory Committee. They may also change the method used to perform the sustainability screening, based on new trends in society.

Screening is carried out by KBC Asset Management’s Sustainable and Socially Responsible Investment Department and the independent Environmental Advisory Committee.

Lending financial instruments:

The subfund is not allowed to lend financial instruments.

Volatility of the net asset value:

The volatility of the net asset value may be high due to the composition of the portfolio.

General strategy for hedging the exchange rate risk:

In order to protect its assets against exchange rate fluctuations and within the limitations laid down in the articles of association, the sub-fund may perform transactions relating to the sale of forward currency contracts, as well as the sale of call options and the purchase of put options on currencies. The transactions in question may relate solely to contracts traded on a regulated market that operates regularly, is recognised and is open to the public or that are traded with a recognised, prime financial institution specialising in such transactions and dealing in the over-the-counter (OTC) market in options. With the same objective, the sub-fund may also sell currencies forward or exchange them in private transactions with prime financial institutions specialising in such transactions.

Social, ethical and environmental aspects:

Investments may not be made in financial instruments issued by manufacturers of controversial weapons whose use over the past five decades, according to international consensus, has led to disproportionate human suffering among the civilian population. This involves the manufacturers of anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs and munitions. In addition, as of 31 March 2014 no new investments may be made in financial instruments issued by companies that do not have an anti-corruption policy and that have been given a negative score in a thorough screening for corruption in the last two years. A company has no anti-corruption policy if it cannot be demonstrated that it has an acceptable policy concerning the fight against corruption. An acceptable policy should be made public and must at least state that bribery will not be tolerated and that the law will be followed in this respect. The screening will be based on a generally accepted and independent 'Social, ethical and environmental factors' database. In this way, not only is a purely financial reality represented, but also the social reality of the sector or region. Where relevant, please refer to 'Information concerning the Bevek – Tax treatment' in the prospectus to find out more about the application of European and Belgian tax provisions.

2.1.4 FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

The management company has delegated the intellectual management, with the exception of the sustainability screening described in the prospectus, to KBC Fund Management Limited, Joshua Dawson House, Dawson Street , Dublin 2, IRELAND

2.1.5 DISTRIBUTORS

KBC Asset Management S.A., 5, Place de la Gare, L-1616 Luxembourg.

2.1.6 INDEX AND BENCHMARK

See ‘Sub-fund’s investment policy’.

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

KBC Eco Fund Climate Change underperformed the broad equity market over the twelve month period to end August 2016. The outperformers were Materials and, the largest allocation of the fund, Utilities. In terms of underperformers, Industrials, the second largest component of the fund, were a drag on overall performance.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

Whilst we believe in the long-term that climate change is a theme that will generate positive returns, in the medium-term we see challenges and volatility. Recent over-supply in the solar sector, most notably in China, has led to falling prices and margins for producers. The global trend of phasing out renewable energy tax credits for wind and solar projects compounds this. On the utilities side, persistently low fossil fuel prices is pushing down the prices being paid to solar and wind producers, further constricting margins. However, the increased commitments to fighting climate change in light of the Paris agreement last December, coupled with strong investment in water and energy efficiency projects, presents a positive outlook for the fund.

2.1.9 SYNTHETIC RISK AND REWARD INDICATOR

Classic Shares: 6 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). Institutional B-Shares: 6 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). The value of a share can decrease or increase and the investor may not get back the amount invested. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No. 583/2010, a synthetic risk and reward indicator has been calculated. This indicator provides a quantitative measure of the sub-fund's potential return and the risk involved, calculated in the currency in which the sub-fund is denominated. It is given as a figure between 1 and 7. The higher the figure, the greater the potential return, but also the more difficult it is to predict this return. Losses are possible too. The lowest figure does not mean that the investment is entirely free of risk. However, it does indicate that, compared with the higher figures, this product will generally provide a lower, but more predictable return. The synthetic risk and reward indicator is assessed regularly and can therefore go up or down based on data from the past. Data from the past is not always a reliable indicator of future risk and return.

This volume (adjusted to take account of total subscriptions and redemptions) is also compared to the average net assets at the beginning and end of the period. A figure close to 0% implies that the transactions relating to the securities or transactions relating to the assets (excluding deposits and cash) in a given period only involve subscriptions and redemptions. A negative percentage shows that subscriptions and redemptions entailed few, if any, transactions in the portfolio. Active asset management may result in high turnover rates (monthly percentage >50%), reason: Universe rebalance. The detailed list of transactions is available for consultation free of charge at the registered office of the Bevek or fund at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.

The bar chart shows the performance for full financial years.

The figures do not take account of any restructuring.

Calculated in EUR.

the return is calculated as the change in the net asset value between two dates expressed as a percentage. In the case of units that pay dividends, the dividend is incorporated geometrically in the return.

Calculation method for date D, where NAV stands for net asset value: Capitalisation units (CAP) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[NAV(D) / NAV(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [NAV(D) / NAV(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

Distribution units (DIV) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[ C * NAV(D) / NAV(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [ C * NAV(D) / NAV(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

where C is a factor that is determined for all N dividends between the calculation date D and the reference date. For dividend i on date Di with value Wi:

Ci = [Wi / NAV(Di)] + 1 i = 1 ... N

from which C = C0 * .... * CN.

If the interval between the two dates exceeds one year, the ordinary return calculation is converted into a return on an annual basis by taking the nth square root of 1 plus the total

return of the unit.

The return figures shown above do not take account of the fees and charges associated with the issue and redemption of units.

These are the performance figures for capitalisation and distribution shares.

Institutional B Shares The bar chart shows the performance for full financial years.

The figures do not take account of any restructuring.

Calculated in EUR.

The return is calculated as the change in the net asset value between two dates expressed as a percentage.

Calculation method for date D, where NAV stands for net asset value: Capitalisation units (CAP) Return on date D over a period of X years:

[NIW(D) / NIW(Y)] ^ [1 / X] - 1 where Y = D-X

Return on date D since the start date S of the unit: [NIW(D) / NIW(S)] ^ [1 / F] - 1 where F = 1 if the unit has existed for less than one year on date D where F = (D-S) / 365.25 if the unit has existed for longer than one year on date D

If the interval between the two dates exceeds one year, the ordinary return calculation is converted into a return on an annual basis by taking the nth square root of 1 plus the total return of the unit.

The return figures shown above do not take account of the fees and charges associated with the issue and redemption of units.

These are the performance figures for capitalization shares. Dividend on ex-dividend date 30/11/2016: 7,5358 EUR net (10,3230 EUR gross).

FEE-SHARING AGREEMENTS AND REBATES:

The management company may share its fee with the distributor, and institutional and/or professional parties. In principle, the percentage share amounts to between 35% and 60% if the distributor is an entity of KBC Group NV or to between 35% and 70% if the distributor is not an entity of KBC Group NV. However, in a small number of cases, the distributor’s fee is less than 35%. Investors may, on request, obtain more information on these cases. If the management company invests the assets of the undertaking for collective investment in units of undertakings for collective investment that are not managed by an entity of KBC Group NV, and receives a fee for doing so, it will pay this fee to the undertaking for collective investment. Fee-sharing does not affect the amount of the management fee paid by the sub-fund to the management company. This management fee is subject to the limitations laid down in the articles of association. The limitations may only be amended after approval by the general meeting of shareholders. The management company has concluded a distribution agreement with the distributor in order to facilitate the wider distribution of the sub-fund's units by using multiple distribution channels. It is in the interests of the holders of units, the sub-fund and of the distributor for the largest possible number of units to be sold and for the assets of the sub-fund to be maximised in this way. In this respect, there is therefore no question of any conflict of interest.

2.4.7 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER DATA

Fee for managing the investment portfolio: 1.5% per year (0.1% of which for the sustainability screening referred to in the prospectus) calculated on the basis of the average total net assets of the sub-fund, no management fee is charged on assets invested in underlying undertakings for collective investment managed by a financial institution of the KBC group.

KBC Fund Management Limited receives a fee from the management company of max. 1.4% per year calculated on that part of the portfolio that it manages, without the total management fee received by the management company being exceeded.

The administration agent’s fee is payable at the end of each month and is calculated on the basis of the average total net assets of the sub-fund. Auditor's fee: 1786 EUR per year. This fee is not including VAT and can be indexed on an annual basis in accordance with the decisions of the general meeting. The custody fee is calculated on the value of the securities held in custody by the custodian on the final banking day of the preceding calendar year, except on those assets invested in underlying undertakings for collective investment managed by a financial institution of the KBC group. The custody fee is paid at the beginning of the calendar year. Exercising voting rights. If necessary, relevant and in the interest of the shareholders, the management company will exercise the voting rights attached to the shares in the Bevek’s portfolio. The management company will adhere to the following criteria when determining how it stands relative to the items on the agenda that are put to the vote: - Shareholder value may not be adversely affected. - Corporate governance rules, especially with regard to the rights of minority shareholders, must be respected. - The minimum standards with regard to sustainable business and corporate social responsibility must be met.
