2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

The allocation towards the different sectors (Finance and Real Estate) was in line with the KBC AM Equity strategy. Looking back at 2017, we had a good year. Equities performed well and Financials were no exception. Globally, financial shares performed roughly in line with the broad market. Uncertainties surrounding Brexit created some volatility in Europe but it didn't really weigh on the performance of European financial institutions. The performance of banks was aligned to the financial sector. Outside the US, banks are still finding it hard to grow total revenue in the low interest rate climate. However, the global economic recovery is providing - albeit very low - profit margins and more robust capital positions. Italy has also contributed to the positive outlook. Although much still needs to be done, the situation has improved considerably. Tax reform in the US also boosted the sector. Diversified financial services was a mixed bag of good and bad in 2017. Results were mixed during the first couple of months and even disappointing due to low interest rates and low volatility, but tax reform in the US later boosted the sector and financial services in particular. This picture also applies to insurers. 2017 was an exceptional year in operational terms as insurers were inundated by damage claims as a result of tropical hurricanes in the US. Overall though insurers had a good year. Their capital positions are more than adequate and this supports the sector's dividend yield. However, weaker performance over the past few weeks means that it was the worst performer within financial stocks. In line with the defined strategy, the fund invests in a selection of core satellite themes as set out by the KBCAM Strategy team. The choice of themes can change monthly depending on the preferences of the strategy team. Currently no themes require a currency hedge. The stocks are categorised by theme and given a benchmark weight.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

The allocation towards the different sectors (Finance and Real Estate) will be aligned with the KBC AM Equity strategy. 2018 is going to be an important year for the financial sector. The European Central Bank has decided to halve its bond-purchasing programme to 30 billion euros in 2018 which should push up interest rates eventually. In the US, the Federal Reserve already increased interest rates three times in 2017 and three more rates rises are expected in 2018. This is positive for the sector as banks will be able to benefit from a steeper yield curve. Viewed globally, we retain our preference for US banks. As regards Diversified Financials a few dangers lurk around the corner. Passive investments and new legislation are the two main challenges for the sector. In that context, we think large institutions will be better equipped to deal with them. Stronger regulatory requirements and higher interest rates can also have a positive impact on brokerage firms. Insurers will also be able to benefit from rising interest rates. The question is how much this has already been factored into current share prices. This year in the portfolio we aim to provide a healthy mix of shares with interesting valuations and surprising growth potential.

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. Leveraged finance The total amount of leveraged finance used by the sub-fund is 8,062,928.13 EUR. This amount was calculated by multiplying the leverage ratio calculated using the commitment method by the sub-fund's total assets under management.

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: The fund is frequently rebalanced to reflect the most up-to-date analyst views and expectations and changes in the KBC AM Equity strategy. 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.

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 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. 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: 1844 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.

Securities lending Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 7 March 2006 on securities lending, the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities(UCITS) has entered into securities lending transactions, whereby the title to the securities that have been lent has been transferred, without recognition of that transfer of ownership in the accounts.For the period from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2017, the realised net income for the UCITS amounts to 160.657,72 EUR and for the Management Company 64.263,09 EUR.Direct and indirect costs and charges are deducted from the gross income. These are set at a flat rate of 35% of the fee received and consist of the charges for the clearing services provided by KBC Bank NV, the charges paid to the management company for setting up and monitoring the system for lending securities, the charges for margin management, the charges associated with cash and custody accounts and cash and securities transactions, the fee paid for any management of reinvestments and, if the sub-fund uses an agent, the fee paid to the agent. The undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities will thus receive 65% of the fee received for securities lent.The number of securities lent varied between 1 and 10, with a market value fluctuating between 175.055,17 and 86.501.364,14 EUR.The detailed list of securities lending transactions carried out may be obtained from the registered office of the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.During the reporting period, securities lending transactions were effected in relation to the following securities lending systems:

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

In line with the defined strategy, the fund was and is invested in a selection of shares issued by European companies that pursue a policy of buying back their own shares.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

The fund will continue investing in a selection of shares issued by European companies that pursue a policy of buying back their own shares.

2.1.9 SYNTHETIC RISK AND REWARD INDICATOR

Classic Shares: 5 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). Institutional B Shares: 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. Leveraged finance The total amount of leveraged finance used by the sub-fund is 489,871.04 EUR. This amount was calculated by multiplying the leverage ratio calculated using the commitment method by the sub-fund's total assets under management.

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%).

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.

732

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 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. 1.5% 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: 1844 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. Securities lending Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 7 March 2006 on securities lending, the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities(UCITS) has entered into securities lending transactions, whereby the title to the securities that have been lent has been transferred, without recognition of that transfer of ownership in the accounts.For the period from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2017, the realised net income for the UCITS amounts to 46.224,38 EUR and for the Management Company 18.489,75 EUR.Direct and indirect costs and charges are deducted from the gross income. These are set at a flat rate of 35% of the fee received and consist of the charges for the clearing services provided by KBC Bank NV, the charges paid to the management company for setting up and monitoring the system for lending securities, the charges for margin management, the charges associated with cash and custody accounts and cash and securities transactions, the fee paid for any management of reinvestments and, if the sub-fund uses an agent, the fee paid to the agent. The undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities will thus receive 65% of the fee received for securities lent.The number of securities lent varied between 1 and 11, with a market value fluctuating between 84.041,41 and 10.099.621,00 EUR.The detailed list of securities lending transactions carried out may be obtained from the registered office of the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.During the reporting period, securities lending transactions were effected in relation to the following securities lending systems:

Manager of the securities lending system: Goldman Sachs o Type of securities lending transactions effected: the lending transactions are effected

through the agency of a Lending Agent. o Nature of the lent securities: the securities lending applies only to the equity portion of

the portfolio. o Nature of the financial collateral: government bonds issued by Austria, Belgium,

Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, the UK, France, the US and Switzerland and supranational bonds denominated in EUR, USD or GBP issued by the EIB or the KFW.

o Reinvestment of the financial collateral received: no reinvestment takes place.

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

In line with the defined strategy, the fund was and is invested in a global selection of shares issued by companies that are characterised by their extensive global presence.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

The fund will continue investing in a global selection of shares issued by companies characterised by their extensive global presence.

2.1.9 SYNTHETIC RISK AND REWARD INDICATOR

Classic Shares: 5 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). Institutional B Shares: 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. Leveraged finance The total amount of leveraged finance used by the sub-fund is 7,190.48 EUR. This amount was calculated by multiplying the leverage ratio calculated using the commitment method by the sub-fund's total assets under management.

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.

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 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. 1.5% 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: 1844 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. Securities lending Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 7 March 2006 on securities lending, the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities(UCITS) has entered into securities lending transactions, whereby the title to the securities that have been lent has been transferred, without recognition of that transfer of ownership in the accounts.For the period from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2017, the realised net income for the UCITS amounts to 2.594,23 EUR and for the Management Company 1.042,57 EUR.Direct and indirect costs and charges are deducted from the gross income. These are set at a flat rate of 35% of the fee received and consist of the charges for the clearing services provided by KBC Bank NV, the charges paid to the management company for setting up and monitoring the system for lending securities, the charges for margin management, the charges associated with cash and custody accounts and cash and securities transactions, the fee paid for any management of reinvestments and, if the sub-fund uses an agent, the fee paid to the agent. The undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities will thus receive 65% of the fee received for securities lent.The number of securities lent varied between 0 and 4, with a market value fluctuating between 0,00 and 666.077,43 EUR.The detailed list of securities lending transactions carried out may be obtained from the registered office of the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.During the reporting period, securities lending transactions were effected in relation to the following securities lending systems:

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

In contrast to 2016, investors in the oil sector had far less reason to rejoice in 2017, as the oil sector tended to lag behind other sectors. The energy sector was the worst performing sector by far on stock exchange floors during the first eight months of 2017, due to collapsing oil prices. In the last few months of 2017, there was a moderate recovery, influenced by a recovering oil price. The average price of a barrel of Brent crude was about 55 US dollars in 2017, as compared with 45 US dollars in 2016. At the beginning of 2017, the price of oil was well supported by the production restrictions imposed by the OPEC cartel and Russia. Since oil stocks remained at a high level for a long time, however, the oil price gradually fell, reaching a low in June. From the summer onwards, the price recovered over several months, resulting in the price of Brent crude ending 2017 at 66 US dollars, which is the highest level in more than two years. Demand for oil grew more quickly than the supply, which led to oil stocks being run down rapidly during the second half of the year. The twelve OPEC countries and eleven other oil-producing countries, including Russia, agreed to keep the flow of oil under control for a while longer and extended production restrictions until the end of 2018. Unlike globally traded oil, the price of natural gas is determined on a more regional basis. The price of natural gas in the US remained fairly stable at a low level in 2017. Increasing demand for gas for electricity generation and the start of liquefied natural gas exports from the US were offset by rising natural gas production from US shale fields. The natural gas price in Europe followed a much more volatile course in 2017, with very low prices in the spring and summer, and higher prices in the autumn and winter. Companies with large downstream exposure (oil processing and oil products distribution) were the absolute stars on stock exchange floors in 2017. Refining companies, both in Europe and the US, benefited from strong demand for oil products and high refining margins. Oil service companies performed below par in 2017 because oil producers were cautious about costs and invested less in new projects.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

The upward potential for the price of a barrel of Brent crude in 2018 seems limited because higher prices result in increased activity in US shale fields. It is also uncertain how quickly OPEC and Russia will increase their oil production again after the expiry of production restrictions. This year the oil market is again seeing fierce competition between OPEC and US shale producers. Due to reductions in oil stocks, however, there is now a greater sensitivity to supply disturbances resulting from geopolitical unrest. As regards the natural gas price, we also believe that the potential for the price to go up is somewhat limited if the weather remains in normal bounds. Regardless of climatic conditions, we expect structurally rising demand for natural gas in the US over the coming years due to increased electricity generation from gas-fired power stations (at the expense of coal), higher industrial demand for natural gas in petrochemicals and more exports from the US in the form of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas). Natural gas production in the US is also set to rise as a result of the higher prices for gas and oil (where a lot of gas is often extracted as a by-product), as a result of which supply will also rise. Within the oil sector, we prefer exposure to the European international oil companies that have adapted very impressively to a world of lower oil and gas prices. Cash flows are picking up thanks to radical cost savings, sustained investment discipline and growing production from earlier investments. The debt ratio can be reduced further and there is even some scope for increased shareholder remuneration (abolition of optional dividends and/or share buy-back programmes). The outlook for oil service companies differs according to their exposure. A rise in activity in the US shale fields is offering better prospects for service providers in the area of shale oil extraction. Oil services with exposure to large deep-water offshore projects may continue to be under pressure due to the scarcity of new assignments.

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.

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.

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 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. 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: 1844 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.

Securities lending Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 7 March 2006 on securities lending, the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities(UCITS) has entered into securities lending transactions, whereby the title to the securities that have been lent has been transferred, without recognition of that transfer of ownership in the accounts.For the period from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2017, the realised net income for the UCITS amounts to 55.401,71 EUR and for the Management Company 22.161,93 EUR.Direct and indirect costs and charges are deducted from the gross income. These are set at a flat rate of 35% of the fee received and consist of the charges for the clearing services provided by KBC Bank NV, the charges paid to the management company for setting up and monitoring the system for lending securities, the charges for margin management, the charges associated with cash and custody accounts and cash and securities transactions, the fee paid for any management of reinvestments and, if the sub-fund uses an agent, the fee paid to the agent. The undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities will thus receive 65% of the fee received for securities lent.The number of securities lent varied between 0 and 5, with a market value fluctuating between 0,00 and 22.928.898,58 EUR.The detailed list of securities lending transactions carried out may be obtained from the registered office of the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.During the reporting period, securities lending transactions were effected in relation to the following securities lending systems:

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

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.

798

Leveraged finance The total amount of leveraged finance used by the sub-fund is 0.00 EUR. This amount was calculated by multiplying the leverage ratio calculated using the commitment method by the sub-fund's total assets under management.

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: Actively managed fund in growth phase. 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.

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: max.1.6% per year 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. 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: 1844 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.

Securities lending Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 7 March 2006 on securities lending, the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities(UCITS) has entered into securities lending transactions, whereby the title to the securities that have been lent has been transferred, without recognition of that transfer of ownership in the accounts.For the period from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2017, the realised net income for the UCITS amounts to 194.672,82 EUR and for the Management Company 77.869,13 EUR.Direct and indirect costs and charges are deducted from the gross income. These are set at a flat rate of 35% of the fee received and consist of the charges for the clearing services provided by KBC Bank NV, the charges paid to the management company for setting up and monitoring the system for lending securities, the charges for margin management, the charges associated with cash and custody accounts and cash and securities transactions, the fee paid for any management of reinvestments and, if the sub-fund uses an agent, the fee paid to the agent. The undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities will thus receive 65% of the fee received for securities lent.The number of securities lent varied between 0 and 6, with a market value fluctuating between 0,00 and 24.601.355,00 EUR.The detailed list of securities lending transactions carried out may be obtained from the registered office of the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.During the reporting period, securities lending transactions were effected in relation to the following securities lending systems:

Manager of the securities lending system: Goldman Sachs o Type of securities lending transactions effected: the lending transactions are effected

through the agency of a Lending Agent. o Nature of the lent securities: the securities lending applies only to the equity portion of

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

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. Leveraged finance The total amount of leveraged finance used by the sub-fund is 377,505.89 EUR. This amount was calculated by multiplying the leverage ratio calculated using the commitment method by the sub-fund's total assets under management.

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: Implimentation of strategic decisions. 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.

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 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. 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: 1844 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. Securities lending Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 7 March 2006 on securities lending, the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities(UCITS) has entered into securities lending transactions, whereby the title to the securities that have been lent has been transferred, without recognition of that transfer of ownership in the accounts.For the period from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2017, the realised net income for the UCITS amounts to 308.555,81 EUR and for the Management Company 123.422,32 EUR.Direct and indirect costs and charges are deducted from the gross income. These are set at a flat rate of 35% of the fee received and consist of the charges for the clearing services provided by KBC Bank NV, the charges paid to the management company for setting up and monitoring the system for lending securities, the charges for margin management, the charges associated with cash and custody accounts and cash and securities transactions, the fee paid for any management of reinvestments and, if the sub-fund uses an agent, the fee paid to the agent. The undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities will thus receive 65% of the fee received for securities lent.The number of securities lent varied between 2 and 10, with a market value fluctuating between 4.282.921,00 and 51.566.261,00 EUR.The detailed list of securities lending transactions carried out may be obtained from the registered office of the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.During the reporting period, securities lending transactions were effected in relation to the following securities lending systems:

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

Central European equity markets had a very strong 2017 thanks to strong economic growth. The economies are in full expansion fase evidenced by the very high GDP growth numbers. The most successful calls were coming from Romania and Hungary. Hungarian Gideon Richter and Romanian stocks as Banca Transilvania and Romgaz were good picks. Rationale was cheap valuation and good macro backup. From Czech Republic our selection of Pegas and Unipetrol proved successful, however, we underestimated the upside potential at CEZ, which mostly offset the gains compared to the index. In Poland, good longs were PZU and CCC, but missing out on LPP cost us a lot.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

We are on the top of the economic cycle but the economic perspectives in Central Europe remains positive, regional countries being the leaders of growth in the EU once again. There are no significant valuation gaps between countries, further growth in the equity market has to be accompanied by growing profits. We have no clear country preference but the bulk of the fund is populated by Polish companies given limited liquid alternatives in the other markets. In terms of sectors we are avoiding the utilities sector which is still heavily coal based and as such has a limited life span. We’re also trying to find more value added alternatives for the energy sector which is mainly fossil fuel based thus again in the long term an ending story. Although we still have exposure to the sector given limited alternatives for fossil fuels in the region and low valuations. A big part of the fund is financials due to the still emerging nature of the region. The banks and insurers should gain from widening interest margin expectations. We also have an important exposure to consumer sectors which should profit from the strong wage growth in the region.

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. Leveraged finance The total amount of leveraged finance used by the sub-fund is 855.68 EUR. This amount was calculated by multiplying the leverage ratio calculated using the commitment method by the sub-fund's total assets under management.

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: change of investment process, analyst covering the region and fund management team from CSOB to KBC FM. 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.

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.

863

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: 1.6% per year 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. CSOB Asset Management a.s. receives a fee from the management company of max. 1.6% 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: 1844 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. Securities lending Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 7 March 2006 on securities lending, the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities(UCITS) has entered into securities lending transactions, whereby the title to the securities that have been lent has been transferred, without recognition of that transfer of ownership in the accounts.For the period from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2017, the realised net income for the UCITS amounts to 7.492,54 EUR and for the Management Company 4.034,44 EUR.Direct and indirect costs and charges are deducted from the gross income. These are set at a flat rate of 35% of the fee received and consist of the charges for the clearing services provided by KBC Bank NV, the charges paid to the management company for setting up and monitoring the system for lending securities, the charges for margin management, the charges associated with cash and custody accounts and cash and securities transactions, the fee paid for any management of reinvestments and, if the sub-fund uses an agent, the fee paid to the agent. The undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities will thus receive 65% of the fee received for securities lent.The number of securities lent varied between 7 and 13, with a market value fluctuating between 6.073.704,29 and 12.450.444,10 EUR.The detailed list of securities lending transactions carried out may be obtained from the registered office of the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.During the reporting period, securities lending transactions were effected in relation to the following securities lending systems:

Manager of the securities lending system: KBC Bank NV o Type of securities lending transactions effected: the lending transactions are effected

with a Principal. o Nature of the lent securities: the securities lending applies only to the equity portion of

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

The fund invests in well-diversified portfolios of shares in companies that pay out sustainable dividends that are higher than their peers. Active positions in stocks were taken based on quantitative analysis and a stringent risk framework. Approximately once a month, the fund was rebalanced to reflect recommendations originated by forementioned analysis.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

The fund will continue its active stock selection strategy based on quantitative analysis within the limits defined by the stringent risk framework.

2.1.9 SYNTHETIC RISK AND REWARD INDICATOR

Classic Shares: 5 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). Institutional B Shares: 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. Leveraged finance The total amount of leveraged finance used by the sub-fund is 330,062.41 USD. This amount was calculated by multiplying the leverage ratio calculated using the commitment method by the sub-fund's total assets under management.

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: The fund is regulary rebalanced to reflect quantitative views in a timely and adequate manner. Monthly turnover can be significant in case of strong quantitative signals. 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.

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.

891

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: max.1.5% per year 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. 1.5% 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: 1844 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.

Securities lending Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 7 March 2006 on securities lending, the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities(UCITS) has entered into securities lending transactions, whereby the title to the securities that have been lent has been transferred, without recognition of that transfer of ownership in the accounts.For the period from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2017, the realised net income for the UCITS amounts to 11.195,26 USD and for the Management Company 4.478,10 USD.Direct and indirect costs and charges are deducted from the gross income. These are set at a flat rate of 35% of the fee received and consist of the charges for the clearing services provided by KBC Bank NV, the charges paid to the management company for setting up and monitoring the system for lending securities, the charges for margin management, the charges associated with cash and custody accounts and cash and securities transactions, the fee paid for any management of reinvestments and, if the sub-fund uses an agent, the fee paid to the agent. The undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities will thus receive 65% of the fee received for securities lent.The number of securities lent varied between 0 and 1, with a market value fluctuating between 0,00 and 6.544.903,88 EUR.The detailed list of securities lending transactions carried out may be obtained from the registered office of the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.During the reporting period, securities lending transactions were effected in relation to the following securities lending systems:

Manager of the securities lending system: Goldman Sachs o Type of securities lending transactions effected: the lending transactions are effected

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

The fund invests in well-diversified portfolios of shares in companies that pay out sustainable dividends that are higher than their peers. Active positions in stocks were taken based on quantitative analysis and a stringent risk framework. Approximately once a month, the fund was rebalanced to reflect recommendations originated by forementioned analysis.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

The fund will continue its active stock selection strategy based on quantitative analysis within the limits defined by the stringent risk framework.

2.1.9 SYNTHETIC RISK AND REWARD INDICATOR

Classic Shares: 5 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). Institutional B Shares: 5 on a scale of 1 (lowest risk) to 7 (highest risk). Institutional Shares: 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. Leveraged finance The total amount of leveraged finance used by the sub-fund is 11,294,317.75 EUR. This amount was calculated by multiplying the leverage ratio calculated using the commitment method by the sub-fund's total assets under management.

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: The fund is regulary rebalanced to reflect quantitative views in a timely and adequate manner. Monthly turnover can be significant in case of strong quantitative signals. 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.

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.

921

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 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. 1.5% 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: 1844 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.

Securities lending Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 7 March 2006 on securities lending, the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities(UCITS) has entered into securities lending transactions, whereby the title to the securities that have been lent has been transferred, without recognition of that transfer of ownership in the accounts.For the period from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2017, the realised net income for the UCITS amounts to 94.980,01 EUR and for the Management Company 37.992,00 EUR.Direct and indirect costs and charges are deducted from the gross income. These are set at a flat rate of 35% of the fee received and consist of the charges for the clearing services provided by KBC Bank NV, the charges paid to the management company for setting up and monitoring the system for lending securities, the charges for margin management, the charges associated with cash and custody accounts and cash and securities transactions, the fee paid for any management of reinvestments and, if the sub-fund uses an agent, the fee paid to the agent. The undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities will thus receive 65% of the fee received for securities lent.The number of securities lent varied between 1 and 8, with a market value fluctuating between 431.210,00 and 30.065.607,36 EUR.The detailed list of securities lending transactions carried out may be obtained from the registered office of the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.During the reporting period, securities lending transactions were effected in relation to the following securities lending systems:

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

Active positions in stocks from the Pacific region were taken based on quantitative analysis and a stringent risk framework. Approximately once a month, the fund was rebalanced to reflect recommendations originated by forementioned analysis.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

The fund will continue its active stock selection strategy based on quantitative analysis within the limits defined by the stringent risk framework.

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. Leveraged finance The total amount of leveraged finance used by the sub-fund is 33,857.81 EUR. This amount was calculated by multiplying the leverage ratio calculated using the commitment method by the sub-fund's total assets under management.

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.

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 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. 1.5% 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: 1844 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.

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

After the abysmal performance Turkish stocks had a strong 2017. The uncertainty of the referendum is behind us and Erdogan took pro-cyclical measures to stimulate the economy after the coup attempt subdued economic activity. Nonetheless Turkey faces difficult times. The pro-cyclical measures are elevating companies debt levels to worrying levels. The relationship with EU stays complicated. The attempted coup made perspective even worse as the government has further tightened its grip on opposition and remnants of independent media. Not to forget, the period of cheap oil proved to be rather missed opportunity for the Turkish economy as inflation still remains high. In the environment of Turkish lira constantly depreciating, export-driven companies were important positions in the fund. Limiting exposure to the banks helped the performance while avoiding the very cyclical parts like aviation and steel making was not the right decision in 2017.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

Although things have calmed in Turkey, given the coup attempt is more than a year behind us, doubts about political stability is still a major concern. After the strong rally we saw in Turkish stocks in 2017, valuation is again to more normal levels. The pro-cyclical measures of Erdogan could further elevate the stock exchanges in the short term but this will be a drag on growth in the future given it is pulling future demand to the present. Strongly needed economic reforms (labor market, education system) which would put the Turkish economy on a sustainable growth path remain of low priority. Not to forget, Fed policy is of great importance as the balance of payments remains structurally vulnerable and the Turkish central bank is under political pressure not to turn hawkish. In conclusion, 2018 could again be a good year for Turkish stocks thanks to loose monetary and fiscal policy but the stability of the economy is being undermined and it will be hard to avoid negative shocks in de mid and long term. We avoid companies with high debt levels and focus on sound consumer stocks and companies in the well-developed industrial sector in Turkey.

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. Leveraged finance The total amount of leveraged finance used by the sub-fund is 87,943.60 TRY. This amount was calculated by multiplying the leverage ratio calculated using the commitment method by the sub-fund's total assets under management.

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: change of investment process, analyst covering the region and fund management team from CSOB to KBC FM. 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.

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: 1.6% per year 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. CSOB Asset Management a.s. receives a fee from the management company of max. 1.6% 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: 1844 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.

Securities lending Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 7 March 2006 on securities lending, the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities(UCITS) has entered into securities lending transactions, whereby the title to the securities that have been lent has been transferred, without recognition of that transfer of ownership in the accounts.For the period from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2017, the realised net income for the UCITS amounts to 3.537,79 TRY and for the Management Company 1.415,13 TRY.Direct and indirect costs and charges are deducted from the gross income. These are set at a flat rate of 35% of the fee received and consist of the charges for the clearing services provided by KBC Bank NV, the charges paid to the management company for setting up and monitoring the system for lending securities, the charges for margin management, the charges associated with cash and custody accounts and cash and securities transactions, the fee paid for any management of reinvestments and, if the sub-fund uses an agent, the fee paid to the agent. The undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities will thus receive 65% of the fee received for securities lent.The number of securities lent varied between 0 and 2, with a market value fluctuating between 0,00 and 51.010,55 EUR.The detailed list of securities lending transactions carried out may be obtained from the registered office of the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.During the reporting period, securities lending transactions were effected in relation to the following securities lending systems:

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

The fund invests in well-diversified portfolios of shares in companies that pay out sustainable dividends that are higher than their peers. Active positions in stocks were taken based on quantitative analysis and a stringent risk framework. Approximately once a month, the fund was rebalanced to reflect recommendations originated by forementioned analysis.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

The fund will continue its active stock selection strategy based on quantitative analysis within the limits defined by the stringent risk framework.

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. Leveraged finance The total amount of leveraged finance used by the sub-fund is 13,058,333.56 EUR. This amount was calculated by multiplying the leverage ratio calculated using the commitment method by the sub-fund's total assets under management.

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: The fund is regulary rebalanced to reflect quantitative views in a timely and adequate manner. Monthly turnover can be significant in case of strong quantitative signals. 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.

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 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. 1.5% 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: 1844 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. Financial derivatives on financial indices The following financial indices were used as the underlying for financial derivatives: The Euro Stoxx 50 is a weighted equity index computed by Stoxx Ltd. The dividend is not reinvested. The main purpose of this index is to provide a continuous indication of market trends on the European stock markets. The base value of the index is 1000, calculated on the basis of the underlying prices recorded on 31 December 1991. The Euro Stoxx 50 consists solely of shares from countries participating in the Economic and Monetary Union, with the exception of Luxembourg. On 10 April 1998, the following stock exchanges were included in the index: Austria (Vienna), Belgium (Brussels), Finland (Helsinki), France (Paris), Germany (Frankfurt), Italy (Milan), Ireland (Dublin), the Netherlands (Amsterdam), Portugal (Lisbon) and Spain (Madrid). The index consists of the 50 largest European shares in terms of shares that are freely negotiable, and the shares are accordingly weighted on the basis of this criterion. The Euro Stoxx 50 is published daily in L’Echo, De Tijd, The Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal Europe. Stoxx Limited has all proprietary rights with repect to the index. In no way Stoxx Limited endorses, sponsors or is otherwise involved in the issue and offering the shares of this undertaking for collective investment. Stoxx Limited disclaims any liability for the issue and offering of the shares of this undertaking for collective investment. Securities lending Pursuant to the Royal Decree of 7 March 2006 on securities lending, the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities(UCITS) has entered into securities lending transactions, whereby the title to the securities that have been lent has been transferred, without recognition of that transfer of ownership in the accounts.For the period from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2017, the realised net income for the UCITS amounts to 195.609,12 EUR and for the Management Company 78.243,65 EUR.Direct and indirect costs and charges are deducted from the gross income. These are set at a flat rate of 35% of the fee received and consist of the charges for the clearing services provided by KBC Bank NV, the charges paid to the management company for setting up and monitoring the system for lending securities, the charges for margin management, the charges associated with cash and custody accounts and cash and securities transactions, the fee paid for any management of reinvestments and, if the sub-fund uses an agent, the fee paid to the agent. The undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities will thus receive 65% of the fee received for securities lent.The number of securities lent varied between 2 and 11, with a market value fluctuating between 673.762,06 and 36.429.687,16 EUR.The detailed list of securities lending transactions carried out may be obtained from the registered office of the undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities at Havenlaan 2, 1080 Brussels.During the reporting period, securities lending transactions were effected in relation to the following securities lending systems:

2.1.7 POLICY PERSUED DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

The fund invests in well-diversified portfolios of shares in companies that pay out sustainable dividends that are higher than their peers. Active positions in stocks were taken based on quantitative analysis and a stringent risk framework. Approximately once a month, the fund was rebalanced to reflect recommendations originated by forementioned analysis.

2.1.8 FUTURE POLICY

The fund will continue its active stock selection strategy based on quantitative analysis within the limits defined by the stringent risk framework.

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. Leveraged finance The total amount of leveraged finance used by the sub-fund is 30,682.40 EUR. This amount was calculated by multiplying the leverage ratio calculated using the commitment method by the sub-fund's total assets under management.

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: The fund is regulary rebalanced to reflect quantitative views in a timely and adequate manner. Monthly turnover can be significant in case of strong quantitative signals. 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.
