NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2019 GENERAL
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND SICAV (formerly ASIAN SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND SICAV) (the "Company") is an undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities (a "UCITS"), incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as an investment company with variable capital (société d'investissement à capital variable) for the purpose of the Council Directive 2009/65/CE, as amended (the “UCITS Directive”). The Company is registered in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg pursuant to Part I of the Luxembourg law of 17 December 2010, as amended, on collective investment undertakings (the "Law of 2010"). (See note) The Company is registered on the Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés de Luxembourg under number B 171 173. The main objective of the Company is to provide investors with a choice of professionally managed sub-funds (the "Sub-Funds", each a "Sub-Fund") investing in a wide range of transferable securities, most of them being quoted on one or several official stock exchanges and/or other liquid financial assets permitted by law in order to achieve an optimum return from capital invested, while reducing investment risk through diversification. The name of the Sub-Fund was changed to Special Opportunities Fund SICAV and the reference currency to EUR from March 25, 2019. As at June 30, 2019, the Company offers the following Sub-Fund: - Special Opportunities Fund SICAV - World Select
Fund The main objective of Special Opportunities Fund SICAV - World Select Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation principally by investing in securities listed on stock exchanges or dealt in on regulated markets of countries throughout North & South America, Western Europe and Asia. As at June 30, 2019, the following Classes of Shares are active:
- Class I – USD - Class I – EUR - Class F1 – USD - Class F1 – EUR - Class F1 – CHF - Class W – USD - Class W – EUR - Class W – CHF - Class W – GBP - Class J – EUR - Class J – CHF
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with legal and regulatory requirements in Luxembourg. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant accounting policies used by the Company are as follows: a) Financial statements
The statements are expressed in EUR, being the currency of the Sub-Fund. All figures disclosed in the financial statements are reported without decimals. As a result, small rounding differences may occur.
b) Valuation of investment in securities
Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last sale price reflected on the consolidated tape at the close of the exchange on the Business Day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices on such day. If no bid or asked prices are quoted on such day, then the security is valued in good faith at fair value by, or in accordance with procedures established by the Management Company.
Securities traded on more than one exchange are valued in accordance with the above paragraph by reference to the principal exchange on which the securities are traded.
Securities traded on the OTC market, including securities listed on an exchange whose primary market is believed to be OTC are valued at the mean of the current bid and ask prices.
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND SICAV
18
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
c) Valuation of OTC, other derivatives and other
securities
OTC and other derivatives are valued on the basis of a quoted bid price or spread from a major broker-dealer in such security. All other securities are valued in accordance with readily available market quotations as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Management Company. In the event that extraordinary circumstances render such a valuation impracticable or inadequate, the Management Company is authorised to follow other rules prudently and in good faith in order to achieve a fair valuation of the assets of the Company.
Contracts for difference are valued based on the closing market price of the underlying security, less any financing charges attributable to each contract.
d) Income and expense recognition
Dividends are taken into account on the date upon which the relevant investments are first listed as ex-dividend. Interest income is accrued on a daily basis. Income is recorded net of withholding tax, if any. Expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis. Expenses are charged to the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets except for expenses incurred on the acquisition of an investment which are included within the cost of that investment, and the expenses incurred on the disposal of an investment which are deducted from the disposal proceeds.
e) Conversion on foreign currency
Assets and liabilities expressed in currencies other than the Sub-Fund’s reporting currency are converted into the reporting currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the Valuation date. Income and expenses in currencies other than the Sub-Fund’s reporting currency are converted at the rate of exchange prevailing at payment date.
