General information

The funds described in this report are sub-funds of a SICAV (Société d’Investisse-ment à Capital Variable) incorporated under Luxembourg law.

PerformanceThe investment return, or performance, of a mutual fund investment is measured by the change in value of the fund’s shares. The net asset values per share (= redemption prices) with the addition of intervening distributions, which are, for example, reinvested free of charge within the scope of investment accounts at DWS Investment S.A. are used as the

basis for calculating the value. Past performance is not a guide to future results. The corre-sponding benchmark – if available – is also presented in the report. All financial data in this publication is as of December 31, 2018 (unless otherwise stated).

Sales prospectusesFund shares are purchased on the basis of the current sales prospectus and the key investor information document as well as the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the SICAV, in combination with the latest audited annual report and any semi-annual report that is more recent than the latest annual report.

Issue and redemption pricesThe current issue and redemp-tion prices and all other infor-mation for shareholders may be requested at any time at the registered office of the Man-agement Company and from the paying agents. In addition, the issue and redemption prices are published in every country of distribution through appropriate media (such as the Internet, electronic information systems, newspapers, etc.).

Special notice for business investors:

Adjustment of share profits due to European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling in the STEKO Industrie montage GmbH case

In the STEKO Industriemontage GmbH case (C-377/07), the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that the provision in the German Corporate Tax Act (Körperschaftsteuergesetz (KStG)) for the transition from the corporate tax imputation system to the half-income procedure in 2001 is unlawful under European law. The prohibition on corporations to have profit reductions in connection with holdings in foreign companies made relevant for tax purposes pursuant to sec-tion 8b (3) KStG already applied in 2001 pursuant to section 34 KStG, while it only applied for profit reductions in connection with holdings in domestic companies in 2002. In the view of the European Court of Justice, this contra-venes the principle of free movement of capital.

The transitional provisions in the KStG applied accordingly for fund investments pursuant to the German Capital In-vestment Companies Act (Gesetz über Kapitalanlagegesellschaften (KAGG)) (sections 40 and 40a in conjunction with section 43 (14)). The ruling may become important, particularly for the purposes of taking profit reductions into ac-count in the calculation of share profits pursuant to section 40a KAGG. The Federal Finance Court (Bundesfinanzhof (BFH)) decided in a judgment dated October 28, 2009, (Ref. I R 27/08) that the STEKO case does in principle have implications for fund investments. In the German Federal Ministry of Finance letter of February 1, 2011, “Application of the BFH judgment of October 28, 2009 – I R 27/08 to share profits (“STEKO case”)”, the tax authority sets out the conditions under which in its opinion an adjustment of share profits is possible based on the STEKO case.

In view of possible measures based on the STEKO case, we recommend that investors who have shares in business assets consult a tax advisor.

db Advisory Multibrands – BlackRock Flexible Diversified Allocation

Investment objective and performance in the reporting periodThe objective of the invest-ment policy of db Advisory Multibrands – BlackRock Flex-ible Diversified Allocation is to achieve long-term growth with a low tolerance for capital loss. To this end, the sub-fund invests worldwide in equities, fixed income securities, invest-ment funds, derivatives, cash, deposits and money market instruments. The sub-fund aims to achieve the investment objective primarily through investments in funds. The sub-fund may invest up to 75% of its net assets in instruments that invest in global equities, or up to 75% of its net assets in instruments that invest world-wide in fixed income. Up to 20% of its net assets may be invested in alternatives, includ-ing open-ended real estate investment funds, commod-ities, hedge funds and struc-tured products thereof. The proportion of open-ended real estate funds and hedge funds is limited to not more than 10% of the sub-fund’s net assets.

In 2018, volatility in global mar-kets was provoked by several factors including increased trade tensions between the US and China, evidence of a slow-down in economic growth, the transition from quantitative eas-ing to quantitative tightening particularly in the US, and ele-vated political uncertainty. Lin-gering fears over a disordered Brexit in the UK and the partial shutdown of the US Federal Government towards the end of the year, further dampened

investor sentiment in the final few weeks of the year. Globally, 2018 delivered negative returns for stocks and bonds. Decem-ber’s market moves failed to provide the respite that many investors were seeking. Against this backdrop, the sub-fund returned -6.6% per share (LC share class, BVI method, in euro) in the 2018 fiscal year.

Investment policy in the reporting periodAgainst a backdrop of over 90% of all assets being in neg-ative territory for the reporting period, the portfolio held up well reflecting the dynamic asset allocation and flexibility in terms of the range of asset classes and instruments avail-able to invest.

The portfolio began the fiscal year constructively positioned.

However, given the extent of flows into equity markets during the first three weeks of January 2018 the sub-fund’s management decided to take some profits late in the month and introduced some hedg-ing and additional diversifying strategies into the portfolio. This worked particularly well during February 2018 as market volatility experienced its largest single spike since the global financial crisis. The position in options contributed particularly well to the portfolio during this period.

Markets stabilised somewhat over the early spring months and hence the portfolio be-nefited from adding back risk during the period. However, as trade tensions began to build between the U.S. and China in May/June 2018, the

management believed that European and Emerging Market assets could be vulnerable and reduced exposure to Europe and hedged out a proportion of our Emerging Market expo-sure in response. The reduction in European exposure also reflected rising political uncer-tainty in Italy and Germany and softer macroeconomic data. Having added a position in German Bunds when yields were close to 0.8% p.a. in early March 2018, the sub-fund took profits on the position at the end of May 2018 at the height of political uncertainty in Ital-ian politics given evidence that investors were switching from Italian government bonds (BTPs) into Bunds. The rapid switch had triggered a sharp fall in yields which the sub-fund’s management deemed to be an attractive exit point.

Over the summer 2018, as the U.S. Dollar strengthened against a background of rising interest rates, the management felt conditions for Emerging Markets could be challenged and hedged out virtually all of the exposure. This proved helpful as following a run on the Turkish Lira and a sharp rise in interest rates in Argentina (to combat the inflation hike – rates increased from 12.5% p.a. to 47% p.a. over a ten-day period) which in turn triggered a near 20% fall in the Argentin-ian Peso, there was contagion across the wider Emerging Market universe. This allowed the sub-fund to take profits in relative value FX positions such as short South African Rand vs Taiwan Dollar.

The final quarter of the fiscal year was characterised by a sharp correction in risk assets. Technology stocks in the U.S. were a key area of weakness but investors also began to focus on the slowdown in the global economy. The extent to which future earnings growth could be negatively impacted by supply chain issues (given the deteriorating trade rela-tionship between the U.S. and China) also came under scru-tiny. Global bonds remained under pressure early in the quarter against a backdrop of rising U.S. interest rates and the conclusion of the European Central Bank’s bond-buying programme. However, as the quarter progressed, rising doubts over global economic growth and mounting expec-tations that the Fed may curb its monetary tightening plans triggered a rally in bonds. The sub-fund added to the govern-ment bond exposure through U.S. treasury notes early in the quarter, and took profits by trimming half of the position in early December 2018. The port-folio also replaced some of the developed market credit expo-sure with U.S. Dollar denomi-nated emerging market debt. The sub-fund’s management believed the sell-off in these assets was overdone and that the portfolio had an opportunity to take advantage of an attrac-tive entry point. The sub-fund also implemented a position in gold, adding further resilience to the portfolio.

db Advisory Multibrands – db Credit Selection

Investment objective and performance in the reporting perioddb Advisory Multibrands – db Credit Selection seeks to achieve above-average returns. To achieve this objective, the sub-fund invests in various target funds with a focus on different fixed income classes such as investment grade credit bonds, high yield credit bonds, covered bonds and convert-ible bonds. The sub-fund may also invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs) that track one or more bond indices, as well as in time deposits, short-term money market funds, money market funds, money market instruments and liquid assets. Investments are primarily made in funds that are managed by Deutsche Bank and subsidiaries of the Deutsche Bank Group. Derivative instruments may be used for hedging and imple-mentation of the investment policy. The investment climate in the reporting period was charac-terized by still extremely low interest rates in the industrial countries and volatility in the capital markets. This was pri-marily attributable to high debt levels worldwide and to the uncertainty surrounding the future course of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the U.S. interest rate development. The yield curve inverted for the first time in over a decade and the Federal Reserve hiked rates to 2.25-2.5% p.a. 2018 was a chal-lenging year for Emerging Mar-kets investors resulting in dis-appointing returns, drawdowns and high volatility. Emerging

Markets external returns were hit by rising U.S. Treasury yields and wider Emerging Markets spreads, whilst Emerging Mar-kets Local debt suffered from the sharp drop in Emerging Markets currencies. Against this challenging backdrop, the sub-fund depreciated by 4.9% per share (LC share class, BVI method, in euro) in the 2018 fiscal year.

Investment policy in the reporting perioddb Advisory Multibrands – db Credit Selection privileged fixed income bonds, especially Euro-pean Investment Grade bonds, signalling the tilt to quality and liquidity in order to protect the portfolio in the late phase of

the economic cycle. Over the reporting period, the Invest-ment Grade market returned as credit spreads widened and long-term interest rates in the U.S. increased. Almost all positions generated negative return in the fiscal year 2018. Especially Emerging Market positions, like DWS Invest Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt, Convertibles, like DWS Invest Convertibles and Hybrid investments like DWS Global Hybrid Bond as well as High Yield positions suffered.

The sub-fund sold a couple of target funds in the reporting period to reduce complexity and streamline the core-satel-lite approach, besides others

Several new investments were added to the portfolio in the fiscal year 2018 e.g. the target fund BlueBay Global Sovereign Opportunities, a liquid alterna-tive fund investing globally long and short in fixed income mar-kets, introduced to bring more balance and diversification to the portfolio fixed income hold-ings. Schroder International Selection Fund - Euro Corporate Bond was one of the best, most consistent European investment grade credit strategies intro-duced to further enhance credit selection alpha in the overall portfolio.

db Advisory Multibrands – db Selected Managers

Investment objective and performance in the reporting perioddb Advisory Multibrands – db Selected Managers seeks to generate sustained capital growth. To this end, the sub-fund may invest in investment funds such as equity, bond, balanced, commodity and money market funds. The sub-fund invests at least 51% of its net assets in investment funds – especially in those which are managed by fund managers who, depending on market circumstances, are changing the risk profile of their funds through their flexible management. These managers invest independently in a com-bination of securities such as equities, bonds, commodities and derivatives, depending on market circumstances and sectorial and geographical diversification.

In the period under review, the stock exchanges experienced a headwind from the political side, in particular. The U.S. trade dispute with China and Europe caused uncertainty in the markets, as did other fac-tors such as a debate about the Italian budget. The sluggish pace of Brexit negotiations between the United Kingdom and the European Union also added to market uncertainty. In Japan, company profits increased despite an at times noticeable appreciation of the yen. Although corporate earn-ings were solid over the report-ing period as a whole, earnings growth in the further course of the period lost momentum somewhat. Major adverse

factors arose from fears of an increasingly protectionist inter-national trade policy. Overall, the investment climate in the reporting period was character-ized by still extremely low inter-est rates in the industrial coun-tries and volatility in the capital markets. Against this challeng-ing backdrop, the sub-fund depreciated by 8.4% per share (LC share class, BVI method, in euro) in the 2018 fiscal year.

Investment policy in the reporting perioddb Advisory Multibrands – db Selected Managers was as a multi-manager-sub-fund par-ticularly broadly diversified

because it had invested in the widest possible variety of tar-get funds, and consequently in different asset classes and regions. In addition, the man-agement ensured that correla-tion among the target funds was kept to a minimum.

The best performing target funds were LFIS Vision UCITS – Premia that was able to weather a volatile market envi-ronment thanks to a very diver-sified and idiosyncratic portfolio of alternative risk as well as DWS Concept Kaldemorgen with more conservative posi-tioning than most peers what helped deliver outperformance

through the fiscal year. On the other side, the worst per-forming target fund was Stan-dard Life Investments Global SICAV – Global Absolute Return Strategies Fund where many of the relative value positions did not work like in European financials, global Energy com-panies and in some Emerging Markets. The portfolio position was completely sold in Decem-ber 2018 after the sub-fund´s management lost conviction in the investment process and to some extent in the risk man-agement implementation and genesis of many of the relative value positions of this target fund. AQR Style Premia also disappointed especially hit by underperformance of the value factor in equity markets and in the U.S. more specifically.

The target fund Flossbach von Storch – Multi Asset – Defen-sive was entirely sold due to portfolio diversification as the sub-fund was already holding the same firm balanced target fund.

The sub-fund added the LFIS Vision UCITS – Premia to the portfolio with its innova-tive alternative risk premium strategy introduced mostly for diversification purposes. Another investment newly added to the portfolio was M&G (Lux) Dynamic, a solid multi asset target fund with a dynamic approach and good performance also in difficult market environments. To diver-sify the portfolio db Advisory Multibrands – db Selected Managers also bought Janus Henderson Balanced Fund, a

very good multi asset balanced fund with consistent risk/return profile.

db Advisory Multibrands – db World Selection Plus

Investment objective and performance in the reporting periodThe objective of the invest-ment policy of db Advisory Multibrands – db World Selec-tion Plus is to achieve a pos-itive investment result in the long-term while taking the opportunities and risks of the international equity and bond markets into account. To this end, the sub-fund may invest worldwide in units and shares of equity, bond, commodity and money market funds, as well as in exchange traded funds (ETFs), exchange traded com-modities (ETCs) and certificates. The investment policy is imple-mented through investments in various themes and using dif-ferent strategies. At least 30% of the assets of the sub-fund are invested in equity funds and equities, and in instru-ments and derivatives linked to equities. The core investment comprises dividend and value equity funds and stocks, as well as instruments and deriva-tives linked to equities expected to return above-average divi-dend yields. In addition, other themes and strategies can be allocated to the sub-fund’s portfolio, such as investments in commodities, convertible bonds, corporate bonds, gov-ernment bonds (emerging and developed markets) and pre-cious metals.

In the period under review, the stock exchanges experienced a headwind from the political side, in particular. The U.S. trade dispute with China and Europe caused uncertainty in the markets, as did other fac-

tors such as a debate about the Italian budget. The sluggish pace of Brexit negotiations between the United Kingdom and the European Union also added to market uncertainty. In Japan, company profits increased despite an at times noticeable appreciation of the yen. Although corporate earnings were solid viewed over the reporting period as a whole, earnings growth in the further course of the period lost momentum somewhat. Major adverse factors arose from fears of an increasingly protectionist international trade policy. Overall, the investment climate in the reporting period was characterized by still extremely low interest rates

in the industrial countries and volatility in the capital markets. Against this challenging back-drop, the sub-fund depreciated by 9.2% per share (LC share class, BVI method, in euro) in the 2018 fiscal year.

Investment policy in the reporting periodIn the past fiscal year, portfo-lio management activities for db Advisory Multibrands – db World Selection Plus remained guided by active strategy decisions.

target funds in the reporting period to reduce complexity and streamline the core-satel-lite approach, besides others db x-trackers - MSCI EM ASIA INDEX, Deutsche Invest II Asian Top Dividend, Neuberger Ber-man High Yield Bond Fund or Deutsche Invest II Japan Top Dividend. On the other site, the sub-fund newly invested mainly in the core bucket Equity High Dividend e.g. Old Mutual Global Equity Income Fund (new fund name: Merian Global Equity Income Fund). Systematic fac-tors drove the global equity income strategy of the target fund further enhancing the defensive income element of the target portfolio equity quota. To diversify the portfolio in the fourth quarter 2018, the sub-fund also added the target fund db Physical Gold ETC.

As there were several episodes of volatility, almost all positions generated negative return in the fiscal year 2018. Especially positions in the core bucket High Dividend Yield like Artemis Global Equity Income Fund or Invesco Global Equity Income Fund and positions in the satel-lite bucket Equity Themes like DWS Invest Global Thematic, iShares Healthcare Innovation, iShares Digitalisation as well as Emerging Market positions, like DWS Invest Emerging Mar-kets Sovereign Debt suffered. On the relative basis, db Advi-sory Multibrands – db World Selection Plus benefitted in particular from investments in target funds Lyxor USD Float-ing Rates Note, db Physical Gold and DWS Invest CROCI US Dividends due to outperfor-

mance of defensive and income oriented plays in a stressed market environment.

db Advisory Multibrands – Franklin Templeton Global Conservative Portfolio

Investment objective and performance in the reporting periodThe objective of the investment policy of db Advisory Multi-brands – Franklin Templeton Global Conservative Portfolio is to generate sustained capital appreciation in the medium term with low volatility. In order to achieve this, the sub-fund invests in various funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which in turn invest in global debt securities and equities as well as in money market instru-ments. The sub-fund may also invest in equities, debt secu-rities, money market instru-ments and cash. Investment is primarily in funds managed by Franklin Templeton Investments and subsidiaries of the Frank-lin Templeton Group. No more than 40% of the sub-fund’s assets may be invested in funds or exchange traded funds that invest in equities or equity-re-lated securities. Derivatives may also be used for hedging purposes and for efficient port-folio management.

Financial markets were char-acterised by a return to height-ened levels of volatility during the fiscal year 2018, following several years of monetary-eas-ing induced calm. US tax cuts drove corporate profits higher and unemployment lower, fuel-ling concerns about rising infla-tion. This emboldened the US Federal Reserve to push ahead with monetary policy normal-isation, and raised interest rates four times in 2018. The European Central Bank followed suitably, reducing its asset purchase programme during

the year, and finally ending it in December 2018. Strong cor-porate earnings continued to encourage confidence in equity markets, despite heightened political tensions in Europe related to the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union, and the Italian budget deficit. Escalating trade tensions over the summer affected emerging markets, particularly China. However, these issues, together with tighter US monetary pol-icy, damaged investor confi-dence. Equities, which reached historic highs in September 2018, tumbled in the fourth quarter, losing and wiping out gains recorded earlier in the year. Against this challeng-ing backdrop, the sub-fund

fund’s management focused its attention on portfolio risk management.

The portfolio’s allocation between its three main asset classes – cash, equity and fixed income – was changed when-ever needed, according to the management’s market views and risk-adjusted expectations. In equities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and index options helped to dynamically shift equity exposure to achieve spe-cific risk contribution targets.

For example, U.S. and Euro-pean equity exposure was hedged in mid-December 2018 as markets fell sharply on risk aversion and existing positions were losing value. The portfo-lio’s overall equity exposure remained diversified throughout the fiscal year, and positions in multi-factor funds with lower market beta (tendency of a security‘s returns to respond to swings in the market) were increased, reflecting an increase in volatility. The largest exposure was to the U.S., with smaller allocations to Japanese, European and emerging mar-kets equities. Exposure to equi-ties was reduced significantly in the final quarter 2018, as global markets fell. The portfolio held a combination of Franklin Tem-pleton Investments funds and ETFs, with the additional use of put and call options to manage risk from a broader portfolio perspective.

The portfolio’s overall fixed income exposure was increased towards the end of the fiscal year. Exposure to

higher-quality assets, including developed-market government bonds and covered bonds, was increased in the final two quar-ters 2018 as risk aversion rose. Exposure to U.S. Treasuries, Bunds and Dutch government bonds was added, while hold-ings of inflation-linked securi-ties were eliminated. Franklin Strategic Income Fund offers flexibility in the management of the corporate bond portion of the portfolio, but a large initial holding was gradually reduced throughout the fiscal year, in favour of ETFs, as a way of diversifying the fixed income portfolio. In currency terms, the portfolio’s exposure to the euro was predominant, with the balance represented by the U.S. Dollar and a range of Emerging Markets currencies.

In 2018, the largest contribution to the portfolio’s overall return, in absolute terms, was expo-sure to U.S. equities, via two ETFs tracking broad equity indi-ces. The iShares Core S&P500 ETF was held until August, benefitting from growth in U.S. stocks, then replaced by a slightly lower weighting in the Invesco S&P 500 ETF, which lost ground, but was eliminated

in December 2018. A holding of Lyxor USD 10-year Inflation Expectations ETF also contrib-uted, benefitting from a strong U.S. economy, until it was elim-inated in September 2018.

The most significant detrac-tor was a holding of Franklin Strategic Income Fund, as corporate bonds, particularly high-yield, lost ground in 2018. An allocation to Templeton Emerging Markets Bond Fund also detracted, affected by the weakness in certain emerging market currencies across much of 2018. Exposure to Emerging Markets small-cap equities, via the Templeton Emerging Mar-kets Smaller Companies Fund, was a drag on returns, as was a holding of Franklin European Dividend Fund.

Each portfolio position initi-ated or closed was related to a specific portfolio management decision to increase diversifi-cation, tilt asset allocation, or select a more appropriate finan-cial instrument or asset mix.

Derivatives were an important component of portfolio strat-egy in 2018, particularly in managing equity and currency

16

exposures. Put and call option contracts on the EuroStoxx 50 and S&P 500 indices were initiated and closed several times to efficiently manage equity exposure and overall portfolio risk. Currency forward contracts were used to hedge exposure to currencies such as the U.S. Dollar and the Japa-nese yen. Both equity options and currency hedges detracted modestly from returns.

db Advisory Multibrands – GAM Absolute Return Strategy Fund

Investment objective and performance in the reporting periodThe objective of the invest-ment policy of db Advisory Multibrands – GAM Absolute Return Strategy Fund is to pursue a medium-long term capital appreciation with a low volatility risk profile, seeking globally the best investment ideas that according to the sub-fund management lead to positive returns throughout the economic cycle and mar-kets conjuncture. To this end, the sub-fund invests in various funds that invest globally in equities and liquid alternative strategies. db Advisory Multi-brands – GAM Absolute Return Strategy Fund may also invest in bond funds, balanced funds, ETFs, money market funds and cash. The sub-fund invests primarily in funds managed by the GAM group and its affili-ated parties. The whole amount of the sub-fund’s net assets may be invested in funds with absolute/total return strategy or Funds/ETFs which follow a bond, a multi-asset class and/or balanced strategy. Up to 30% of the sub-fund’s net assets may be invested in equity funds. Up to 50% of the sub-fund’s net assets may be invested in money market funds and cash.

The fiscal year of 2018 started with a market wide sell off driven by U.S. inflation con-cerns on the back of stronger than expected U.S. employ-ment data in February. After this, geopolitical risks were a major concern, which led to a more cautious sentiment throughout the fiscal year. This

was mainly driven by the trade war between the U.S. and other big nations (in particu-larly China but also the EU and Canada/Mexico). Another driver was the ongoing political risks in Europe driven by the Italian election outcome, where a coalition was formed between the two populist Eurosceptic parties that might go on a colli-sion course with the European Union or even leave the EU altogether as well as Brexit negotiations with the United Kingdom. These events led to global growth slowdown con-cerns and made central banks turn more dovish and data dependent towards fiscal year end. These events led to risk off movements in the market, leading to U.S. Dollar appreciat-ing, core rates rallying, equities selling off and credit spreads

widening. The strengthening U.S. Dollar caused a concern in Emerging Markets. Coun-tries with large foreign funding were hit, especially Turkey and Argentina. The Fed hiked four times which was widely expected, and the European Central Bank (ECB) finished its Corporate Sector Purchase Programme in December 2018, which led to a resurfacing of liquidity concerns. Against this challenging backdrop, the sub-fund returned -8.0% per share (LC share class, BVI method, in euro) in the 2018 fiscal year.

performance. Equity exposure had a negative impact on the sub-fund’s performance, in par-ticular European and Emerging Markets equity. Over the last 12 months, the sub-fund wit-nessed market reversals and style rotations, the end of the new normal (zero real rates) and the return of volatility. All these factors had a nega-tive impact also on the long/short equity strategy, which detracted the most. Overall, all the absolute return bond strategies also ended the fis-cal year in negative territory. Most of the sub-fund’s nega-tive performance came from alternative strategies (equity long/short and absolute return bond). Sector rotations, spreads widening and geopolitical ten-sions affected all asset classes, including government bonds. On the relative basis, the best performing strategies have been short-term credit and ABS, which ended the fiscal year with a small loss.

The asset allocation has been quite conservative during the fiscal year, with an equity exposure below 20%. Given the great uncertainties, related to geopolitical risks and slow-ing global growth prospects, since mid-July 2018 the sub-fund’s management decided to adopt an even more prudent approach, increasing cash and short-term bonds exposure, from 2% to almost 30% of the sub-fund’s net assets. During the reporting period, the sub-fund sold the entire position of the European long/short equity market neutral strategy (at a loss), due to disappoint-

ing performance. Sector rota-tions and increased volatility affected most of the equity alternative strategies, in par-ticular the ones that focus on fundamentals.

Suspension of issuance and redemptions of shares

On the basis of article 13.1 of the articles of association of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company has decided to suspend the issue and redemption of shares of the sub-fund db Advisory Multi-brands – GAM Absolute Return Strategy Fund as per August 10, 2018 in order to protect the interests of the shareholders of the sub-fund and ensure equal treatment of all shareholders.

The reason for this decision was that two target fund invest-ments of the sub-fund (GAM Multibond - Absolute Return Bond Fund Defender (in liqui-dation) and GAM Multibond - Absolute Return Bond Plus (in liquidation); both amounting to almost 25% of the sub-fund’s net asset value at the beginning of the target fund’s liquidation process) experienced large outflows due to the suspen-sion of a key fund manager. The redemption of shares of those target funds has been

suspended, making these posi-tions illiquid in the sub-fund. Since the target fund’s liqui-dation process started, 92% of the GAM Multibond – Absolute Return Bond Fund Defender (in liquidation) and 89% of the GAM Multibond – Absolute Return Bond Plus (in liquida-tion) shares have been returned to clients until end of the reporting period.

db Advisory Multibrands – Invesco Multi Asset Risk Diversified

Investment objective and performance in the reporting periodThe objective of the investment policy of db Advisory Multi-brands – Invesco Multi Asset Risk Diversified is to achieve long-term capital apprecia-tion. To this end, the sub-fund invests in various, actively managed funds and exchange traded funds. The investment focus is on different asset classes, such as fixed income, equities and commodities. The sub-fund may also invest in money market funds, money market instruments and liquid assets. Investments are pri-marily made in European and US-funds for which Invesco and its subsidiaries act as man-agers. Derivatives may also be used for hedging and for effi-cient portfolio management.

Financial markets were char-acterised by a return to height-ened levels of volatility during the fiscal year 2018, following several years of monetary-eas-ing induced calm. US tax cuts drove corporate profits higher and unemployment lower, fuel-ling concerns about rising infla-tion. This emboldened the US Federal Reserve to push ahead with monetary policy normal-isation, and raised interest rates four times in 2018. The European Central Bank followed suitably, reducing its asset purchase programme during the year, and finally ending it in December 2018. Strong cor-porate earnings continued to encourage confidence in equity markets, despite heightened political tensions in Europe related to the United King-

dom’s exit from the European Union, and the Italian budget deficit. Escalating trade ten-sions over the summer affected emerging markets, particu-larly China. However, these issues, together with tighter US monetary policy, damaged investor confidence. Equities, which reached historic highs in September 2018, tumbled in the fourth quarter, losing and wiping out gains recorded earlier in the year. Against this challenging backdrop, the sub-fund recorded a decline of 7.9% per share (LC share class, BVI method, in euro) in the 2018 fiscal year. The position in equi-ties over the fiscal year has been a negative contributor to performance. All major indices

performed negatively during 2018, valuations dropped, vola-tility was back and exogeneous risks gave investors the per-ception of downside scenarios. The overweight in corporate bonds and the underweight in government bonds, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year was a quite negative factor for the sub-fund performance over the full fiscal year. The under-weight in developed markets sovereign bonds gave a mixed contribution to performance over time, but in general, it has been a positive contributor to performance. The sub-fund’s U.S. Dollar exposure, albeit it was never a significant over-weight, has actively contributed to absolute returns.

Investment policy in the reporting periodThe asset allocation choices were consistent to the assess-ment of the overall macroeco-nomic environment and they were managed through an opportunistic tilt during the fiscal year, as there were sev-eral episodes of volatility. Even if on one hand they had a neg-ative impact on the portfolio, they were actively managed to exploit them tactically to round up positions. The elements that limited the sub-fund perfor-mance relative to the market were the deep equity correction on Global equity markets – and the exposure to Eurozone equi-ties, which in some period of the fiscal year, especially in the second half, had a quite lack-lustre performance. The sector positioning was a consequence of the sub-funds picking and the geographic asset alloca-tion in the portfolio. Over the fiscal year, major overweight positions were in financials, consumer cyclicals and indus-trials, while the most significant underweight was in Govern-ment bonds.

db Advisory Multibrands – Invesco Multi Asset Risk Diver-sified privileged corporate bonds, both High Yield and Investment Grade, over Gov-ernment bonds. The reasons were they were better sources of income, especially during a period of declining government yields, and their spread offered some protection at times of increasing yields. Even if the sub-fund closed with a small underweight position in equi-ties in 2018, the preference

in geographic terms went to the U.S. then Emerging Mar-kets, Europe (especially the Euro Area), and Japan. In the fixed income sector, the man-agement privileged corporate bonds, especially high yield, both in the U.S. and in the Eurozone, whilst underweight-ing significantly the govern-ment bonds, especially in the Euro Area. Within fixed income, the portfolio had reduced the exposure to Emerging Market bonds throughout the fiscal year.

The largest overweight posi-tions on sector level were Consumer Cyclical, Industrials and Financials while the most significant underweight was in Government bonds. The biggest underweight was gov-ernment bonds, especially in Europe. In a period where the FED increased interest rates and economic growth started embedding future downside scenarios, and while in Europe the monetary policy remained largely accommodative, the current level of offered yields resulted as not attractive enough to overweight expo-sures. For the same reason (spreads and higher yields can provide investors with some protection in the event of risk-free rate increases, such as the

current ones that are related to economic improvements), the sub-fund overweighted the corporate bond markets, both Investment Grade and High Yield.

The best performing invest-ments in the portfolio for the whole fiscal year 2018 were the Invesco Nasdaq Eq ETF UCITS, while among funds, the Ossiam Shiller Barclays Cape. Practically unchanged but still a positive contributor was the Invesco Euro Ultra Short Term Debt Fund. The worst perform-ing funds in Euro terms were the Invesco Asia Equity Fund and the Invesco Pan European Structured Equity Fund. But for the first mentioned fund in U.S. Dollar terms, the performance was slightly better, so the cur-rency had a translation impact here.

In the reporting period, the management exited the posi-tions in the Invesco Global Smaller Companies Fund, the iShares Automation & Robot-ics ETF and the India Bond Fund. The reasons for this were related to the new addi-tions. For the U.S. market and the European market with a cyclical bias the sub-fund pre-ferred other alternatives which were more targeted. The new

db Advisory Multibrands – JPMorgan Emerging Markets Active Allocation

Investment objective and performance in the reporting periodThe objective of the investment policy of db Advisory Multi-brands – JPMorgan Emerging Markets Active Allocation is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. To this end, the sub-fund‘s assets are invested in various investment funds and exchange-traded funds that invest in equities and debt instruments from emerging market countries, as well as in short-term bond funds, money market funds, money market instruments and liquid assets. The sub-fund invests primar-ily in funds that are managed by JPMorgan and associated companies of the JPMorgan Chase & Co. group. At least 20% and up to 80% of the sub-fund’s assets are invested in emerging market fixed income funds. Derivative instruments may be used for hedging pur-poses and for efficient portfolio management.

Global markets suffered mul-tiple bouts of volatility in the fiscal year 2018, with all major markets posting negative returns. This weak perfor-mance was driven largely by concerns over global growth, a potential trade war between the U.S. and China, and uncertainty around policy tightening in the U.S. These concerns had the biggest impact on emerging markets, as the trade issues threatened an already-slowing Chinese economy and smaller markets on the periphery experienced liquidity issues in the face of tighter Fed pol-icy. Within emerging markets,

Asia was hit hardest, given the negative sentiment around China, while Latin America was buoyed by optimism around the election of a market-friendly president who promises to enact a much-needed fiscal reform. Against this challeng-ing backdrop, the sub-fund returned -10.1% per share (LC share class, BVI method, in euro) in the 2018 fiscal year. The sub-fund saw a decline in absolute terms during a chal-lenging fiscal year for emerging markets. The overweight expo-sure to equities, which was reduced through the reporting period to end 2018, hurt relative returns given equities fell more than debt.

Investment policy in the reporting periodIn early September 2018 the

sub-fund reduced the equity overweight exposure, given the uncertain backdrop and near-term concerns around contin-ued U.S. growth, Fed tightening and trade wars. Since then the sub-fund has further reduced the overweight in equities, to a neutral equity/debt position (50/50) which was the exposure as per December 31, 2018.

On the equity side the sub-fund’s management continued to rotate towards quality names which have underperformed and has in the second half of the fiscal year added selected financials in China, especially in the insurance space. On the debt side, the sub-fund has been reducing exposure in Local while holding more in the Sovereign sector. Broadly the portfolio has cut risk from Tur-

Yield as a style has been more resilient in challenged market conditions. Additionally, expo-sure to China has contributed in aggregate. Through the fiscal year, value has been created within emerging markets and here the sub-fund favours sov-ereign exposure and, from a local standpoint, markets with higher real yields such as Bra-zil, South Africa, Russia and India. More growth orientated equity names, particularly in the technology sector, lagged the broader market as many companies saw their earnings growth slow and disappoint.

db Advisory Multibrands – JPMorgan Emerging Markets Active Allocation continued to display a disciplined approach to portfolio construction and rotated out of strong perform-ers, or names where the initial investment thesis had changed. As long-term investor, the sub-fund continued to take the opportunity to increase invest-ment into laggard markets or areas which have seen signs of market weakness, yet where the investment opportunity remains attractive, for example adding to China, where sub-fund´s management found a number of attractively valued ideas especially through the second half of the fiscal year 2018.

db Advisory Multibrands – Pictet Multi Asset Flexible Allocation

Investment objective and performance in the reporting periodThe objective of the investment policy of db Advisory Multi-brands – Pictet Multi Asset Flexible Allocation is to achieve a positive investment result in the medium to long term while taking the opportunities and risks of the international capital markets into account. To this end, the sub-fund may invest in units and shares of equity, bond, commodity, as well as in certificates, funds and cash. The sub-fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in instruments that invest in fixed income, or up to 60% of its net assets in instruments that invest in equities and up to 49% of its net assets may be invest-ed in money market instru-ments, up to 20% of its net as-sets in asset backed securities as well as mortgage backed securities and up to 10% of its net assets in instruments that invest in commodities. The sub-fund primarily invests in funds managed by the Pictet Group and its affiliates. The investment policy will also be implemented through the use of suitable derivatives.

In the period under review, the stock exchanges experienced a headwind from the political side, in particular. The U.S. trade dispute with China and Europe caused uncertainty in the markets, as did other factors such as a debate about the Italian budget. The sluggish pace of Brexit negotiations be-tween the United Kingdom and the European Union also added to market uncertainty. Although

corporate earnings were solid over the reporting period as a whole, earnings growth in the further course of the period lost momentum somewhat. Major adverse factors arose from fears of an increasingly protectionist international trade policy. Overall, the investment climate in the reporting peri-od was characterized by still extremely low interest rates in the industrial countries and volatility in the capital markets. Against this challenging back-drop, the sub-fund depreciated by 5.6% per share (LD share class, BVI method, in euro) in the 2018 fiscal year.

Investment policy in the reporting periodThe fiscal year of 2018 started with a market wide sell off driv-en by U.S. inflation concerns on the back of stronger than expected U.S. employment data in February. After this, geopolitical risks were a major concern, which led to a more cautious sentiment through-out the fiscal year. This was mainly driven by the trade war between the U.S. and other big nations (in particularly China but also the EU and Canada/Mexico). For this reason, almost all strategies in the portfolio had a negative performance.

Equity exposure had a negative impact on sub-fund’s perfor-mance, in particular European equity. Over the last 12 months, the sub-fund witnessed market reversals, the end of the new normal (zero real rates) and the return of volatility. Overall, all the bond strategies ended the fiscal year in negative territo-ry. Sector rotations, spreads widening and geopolitical ten-sions affected all asset classes, including government bonds. Also due to the ongoing politi-cal risks in Europe driven by the Italian election outcome, where a coalition was formed between the two populist Eurosceptic parties that might go on a colli-sion course with the European Union or even leave the euro altogether as well as Brexit negotiations with the United Kingdom. These events led to global growth slowdown con-cerns and made central banks turn more dovish and data dependent towards fiscal year end. These events led to risk off movements in the market, leading to U.S. Dollar appreciat-ing, core rates rallying, equities selling off and credit spreads widening.

Investment objective and performance in the reporting periodThe objective of the invest-ment policy of db Advisory Multibrands – PIMCO Euro Coupon Bond Fund is a sus-tained appreciation of capital in combination with current income. To this end, the sub-fund invests in fixed income securities denominated in euro, which are issued by com-panies, states and regional authorities in EU and non-EU states, including emerging market countries. The sub-fund may also invest in asset-backed securities. The duration of the sub-fund portfolio is normally zero to eight years.

The investment climate in the reporting period was charac-terized by still extremely low interest rates in the industrial countries and volatility in the capital markets. This was pri-marily attributable to high debt levels worldwide and to the uncertainty surrounding the future course of the European Central Bank (ECB) and U.S. interest rate development. In the period under review, the stock exchanges experienced a headwind from the political side, in particular. The U.S. trade dispute with China and Europe caused uncertainty in the markets. European equity markets limped behind in the international comparison. Although economic perfor-mance continued to be robust in Europe and the European Central Bank maintained its relaxed monetary policy, polit-ical risks also weighed notice-ably on the European equity

markets. Sectors and econo-mies that are more dependent on exports particularly felt the effects of the trade dispute with the United States and the accompanying fear of possible punitive tariffs. Furthermore, the uncertainty regarding the details and consequences of the UK’s planned exit from the European Union also resulted in adverse effects on equity prices, as did the power strug-gle between the new Italian government and the EU Com-mission in Brussels. Concerns about the largest European debtor weighed not only on bond markets but were also reflected in share prices, espe-cially in the euro area. Against this challenging backdrop, the sub-fund depreciated by 2.9%

per share (LC share class, BVI method, in euro) in the 2018 fiscal year.

Investment policy in the reporting periodThe main exposures within the core government bucket remain in core countries (Netherlands, Germany and France), as well as peripheral countries (mainly Italy and Spain). Outside of the Eurozone, the sub-fund man-aged its exposure tactically to U.S., United Kingdom and Japan. In terms of duration this has been increased during the fiscal year, focusing on the belly of the curve (1-5 years). During the reporting period the expo-sure to the government related bucket has been dramatically increased, signalling the tilt to

quality and liquidity in order to protect the portfolio in the late phase of the economic cycle.

Within spread strategies the sub-fund gradually increased its exposure to investment grade during the fiscal year, focusing mainly on quality issuances with high liquidity levels in their balance sheet, with an over-weight on automotive, banks and financials. The main under-weights remain electric utility, integrate oil and life insurance.

Exposure to spread strategies was the main detractor of the fiscal year 2018 performance, given the generalised widen-ing in spreads of 2018 (both in Investment Grade High Yield sectors). Over the period the Investment Grade market returned as credit spreads wid-ened and long-term interest rates in the U.S. increased; in terms of sectors Telecom and Banking outperformed while Tobacco and financial compa-nies underperformed. The High Yield market underperformed as well, with a widening in spreads – the worst performing sector was Energy.

main additions to the portfo-lio in 2018 were the Ossiam ETF Stoxx Europe 600 and the Invesco Global Buyback Achievers UCITS ETF, added to maintain a more specific expo-sure to the area, by reducing the positioning to more specific sectors.

db Advisory Multibrands – PIMCO High Income Global Credit Fund

Investment objective and performance in the reporting periodThe objective of the investment policy of db Advisory Multi-brands – PIMCO High Income Global Credit Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation in combination with current income. To this end, the sub-fund invests in interest-bear-ing debt securities of issuers located globally, including emerging market countries, bonds and other fixed income securities issued by govern-ments, their agencies and instrumentalities. The sub-fund may also invest in foreign cur-rency positions, mortgage-re-lated and other asset-backed securities.

The investment climate in the reporting period was charac-terized by still extremely low interest rates in the industrial countries and volatility in the capital markets. This was pri-marily attributable to high debt levels worldwide and to the uncertainty surrounding the future course of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the U.S. interest rate development. The global equity rally corrected heavily in February and again in December 2018 whilst core rates rallied as investors flocked to safety. The yield curve inverted for the first time in over a decade and the Federal Reserve hiked rates to 2.25-2.5% p.a. 2018 was a challeng-ing year for Emerging Markets investors resulting in disap-pointing returns, drawdowns and high volatility. Emerging Markets external returns were hit by rising U.S. Treasury yields

and wider Emerging Markets spreads, whilst Emerging Mar-kets Local debt suffered from the sharp drop in Emerging Markets currencies. Brent crude oil prices declined sharply, hurt-ing many Emerging Markets oil exporters and sanctions kept impacting investor sentiment toward Emerging Markets. Trade war rhetoric and political turbulence in Latin America stoked uncertainty. The U.S. Dollar rallied against most Emerging Markets currencies. Against this challenging back-drop, the sub-fund depreciated by 5.3% per share (LC share class, BVI method, in euro) in the 2018 fiscal year.

Investment policy in the reporting periodWithin the duration sector, the sub-fund has exposure to core government securities (France, Germany), as well as peripher-als (Italy, Spain). Outside of the Eurozone, the sub-fund man-aged its exposure tactically to the U.S., United Kingdom, and Japan. During the fiscal year the exposure to the government related bucket has been dra-matically increased, signalling the tilt to quality and liquidity typical of the late economic cycle.

exposure to the investment grade bucket over the fiscal year, given the poor perfor-mance of the credit markets, focusing on quality issuances with high liquidity levels in their balance sheet. In the High Yield sector, the allocation remained broadly unchanged, with a preference for senior secured bonds and high quality bank loans, which provide attractive carry while they rank high up in the capital structure. The main overweights were represented by banks and other financials, consumer finance and media; electrical utility, healthcare and technology were the main underweights.

Exposure to spread strategies was the main detractor of the fiscal year 2018 performance, given the generalised widen-ing in spreads of 2018 (both in Investment Grade and High Yield sectors). Over the period the Investment Grade market returned as credit spreads wid-ened and long-term interest rates in the U.S. increased; in terms of sectors telecom and banking outperformed while tobacco and financial compa-nies underperformed.

The values-at-risk were calculated for the year from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018, using historical simulation with a 99% confidence level, a 10-day holding period and an effective historical observation period of one year. The risk in a reference portfolio that does not contain derivatives is used as the measurement benchmark. Market risk is the risk to the fund’s assets arising from an unfavorable change in market prices. The Company determines the potential market risk by means of the relative value-at-risk approach as defined in CSSF circular 11/512. In the reporting period, the average leverage effect from the use of derivatives was 1.0, whereby the total of the nominal amounts of the derivatives in relation to the fund’s assets was used for the calculation (sum-of-notional approach). The gross exposure generated via derivatives pursuant to point 40 a) of the “Guidelines on ETFs and other UCITS issues” of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) totaled EUR 19 204 700.51 as of the reporting date.

Notes on the valuation

Under the responsibility of the Board of Directors of the SICAV, the Management Company determines the net asset values per share and performs the valuation of the assets of the fund. The basic provision of price data and price validation are performed in accordance with the method introduced by the Board of Directors of the SICAV on the basis of the legal and regulatory requirements or the principles for valuation methods defined in the SICAV’s prospectus. If no trading prices are available, prices are determined with the aid of valuation models (derived market values) which are agreed between State Street Bank Luxembourg S.C.A. as external price service provider and the Management Company and which are based as far as possible on market parameters. This procedure is subject to an ongoing monitoring process.

BVI total expense ratio (TER)

The total expense ratio for the share classes was:

Class LC 2.38% p.a., Class PFC 2.66% p.a.

The TER expresses total expenses and fees (excluding transaction costs) as a percentage of a fund’s average net assets in relation to the respective share class for a given fiscal year.

Further costs, charges and fees were incurred at the level of the target funds. The fund invested more than 20% of its assets in target funds. If the target funds publish a TER themselves, this will be taken into account at fund level (synthetic TER). If a TER is not published at target fund level, the all-in fee/management fee is used for the calculation. The synthetic TER was:

Class LC 2.61% p.a., Class PFC 2.90% p.a.

Transaction costs

The transaction costs paid in the fiscal year amounted to EUR 18 342.97. The transaction costs include all costs that were reported or settled separately for the account of the fund in the fiscal year and are directly connected to the purchase or sale of assets. Any financial transaction taxes which may have been paid are included in the calculation.

Transactions processed for the account of the fund’s assets via closely related companies (based on major holdings of the Deutsche Bank Group)

The share of transactions conducted for the account of the investment fund’s assets via brokers that are closely related companies and persons (share of 5% and above), amounted to 9.32% of all transactions. The total volume was EUR 851 013.16.

Placement fee / Dilution adjustment

In the reporting period the fund paid a placement fee of 2.9% of the fund’s net assets to the sales agent. This was calculated on the subscription date. This placement fee serves in particular as compensation for distribution. The gross amount of the placement fee was paid on the subscription date and simultaneously recognized in the fund’s net assets as prepaid expenses. These are amortized on a daily basis over a period of three years from the subscription date. The remaining position for prepaid expenses per share on any valuation is calculated on a daily basis by multiplying the net assets of the fund by a factor. The relevant factor is determined by the linear reduction of the placement fee by a certain percentage on a daily basis over three years from the subscription date. The prepaid expenses position fluctuates during the three years from the subscription date, since it depends on both the fund’s net assets and the predetermined factor. In addition, a dilution adjustment of up to 3% based on the gross redemption amount was charged for the benefit of the fund’s net assets in the reporting period (to be paid by the shareholder). Further details on the placement fee and the dilution adjustment can be found in the corresponding section of the fund’s sales prospectus.

The values-at-risk were calculated for the year from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018, using historical simulation with a 99% confidence level, a 10-day holding period and an effective historical observation period of one year. The risk in a reference portfolio that does not contain derivatives is used as the measurement benchmark. Market risk is the risk to the fund’s assets arising from an unfavorable change in market prices. The Company determines the potential market risk by means of the relative value-at-risk approach as defined in CSSF circular 11/512.

In the reporting period, the average leverage effect from the use of derivatives was 0.1, whereby the total of the nominal amounts of the derivatives in relation to the fund’s assets was used for the calculation (sum-of-notional approach).

The gross exposure generated via derivatives pursuant to point 40 a) of the “Guidelines on ETFs and other UCITS issues” of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) totaled EUR 6 638 211.00 as of the reporting date.

Notes on the valuation

Under the responsibility of the Board of Directors of the SICAV, the Management Company determines the net asset values per share and performs the valuation of the assets of the fund. The basic provision of price data and price validation are performed in accordance with the method introduced by the Board of Directors of the SICAV on the basis of the legal and regulatory requirements or the principles for valuation methods defined in the SICAV’s prospectus.

If no trading prices are available, prices are determined with the aid of valuation models (derived market values) which are agreed between State Street Bank Luxembourg S.C.A. as external price service provider and the Management Company and which are based as far as possible on market parameters. This procedure is subject to an ongoing monitoring process. The plausibility of price information from third parties is checked through other pricing sources, model calculations or other suitable procedure.

Assets reported in this report are not valued at derived market values.

The management fee/all-in fee rates in effect as of the reporting date for the investment fund units held in the securities portfolio are shown in parentheses. A plus sign means that a performance-based fee may also be charged. As the fund held units of other investment funds (target funds) during the period under review, further costs, charges and fees may have been incurred at the level of these individual target funds. No initial sales charges or redemption fees were paid during the period under review.

BVI total expense ratio (TER) The total expense ratio for the share classes was:

Class LC 1.61% p.a., Class LD 1.61% p.a.,Class PFC 1.11% p.a., Class PFD 0.86% p.a.

The TER expresses total expenses and fees (excluding transaction costs) as a percentage of a fund’s average net assets in relation to the respective share class for a given fiscal year.

Further costs, charges and fees were incurred at the level of the target funds. The fund in-vested more than 20% of its assets in target funds. If the target funds publish a TER them-selves, this will be taken into account at fund level (synthetic TER). If a TER is not published at target fund level, the all-in fee/management fee is used for the calculation. The synthetic TER was: Class LC 2.11% p.a., Class LD 2.11% p.a.,Class PFC 1.60% p.a., Class PFD 1.35% p.a.

Transaction costs The transaction costs paid in the fiscal year amounted to EUR 3 116.03. The transaction costs include all costs that were reported or settled separately for the account of the fund in the fiscal year and are directly connected to the purchase or sale of assets. Any financial transaction taxes which may have been paid are included in the calculation.

Transactions processed for the account of the fund’s assets via closely related companies (based on major holdings of the Deutsche Bank Group)

The share of transactions conducted for the account of the investment fund’s assets via brokers that are closely related companies and persons (share of 5% and above), amounted to 4 .45% of all transactions . The total volume was EUR 7 821 835 .22 .

Placement fee / Dilution adjustment

In the reporting period the fund paid a placement fee of 2 .9% of the fund’s net assets to the sales agent . This was calculated on the subscription date . This placement fee serves in particular as compensation for distribution . The gross amount of the placement fee was paid on the subscription date and simultaneously recognized in the fund’s net assets as prepaid expenses . These are amortized on a daily basis over a period of three years from the subscription date . The remaining position for prepaid expenses per share on any valuation is calculated on a daily basis by multiplying the net assets of the fund by a factor . The relevant factor is determined by the linear reduction of the placement fee by a certain percentage on a daily basis over three years from the subscription date . The prepaid expenses position fluctuates during the three years from the subscription date, since it depends on both the fund’s net assets and the predetermined factor . In addition, a dilution adjustment of up to 3% based on the gross redemption amount was charged for the benefit of the fund’s net assets in the reporting period (to be paid by the shareholder) . Further details on the placement fee and the dilution adjustment can be found in the corresponding section of the fund’s sales prospectus .

The values-at-risk were calculated for the year from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018, using historical simulation with a 99% confidence level, a 10-day holding period and an effective historical observation period of one year. The risk in a reference portfolio that does not contain derivatives is used as the measurement benchmark. Market risk is the risk to the fund’s assets arising from an unfavorable change in market prices. The Company determines the potential market risk by means of the relative value-at-risk approach as defined in CSSF circular 11/512.

Notes on valuation

Under the responsibility of the Board of Directors of the SICAV, the Management Company determines the net asset values per share and performs the valuation of the assets of the fund. The basic provision of price data and price validation are performed in accordance with the method introduced by the Board of Directors of the SICAV on the basis of the legal and regulatory requirements or the principles for valuation methods defined in the SICAV’s prospectus. If no trading prices are available, prices are determined with the aid of valuation models (derived market values) which are agreed between State Street Bank Luxembourg S.C.A. as external price service provider and the Management Company and which are based as far as possible on market parameters. This procedure is subject to an ongoing monitoring process. The plausibility of price information from third parties is checked through other pricing sources, model calculations or other suitable procedure. Assets reported in this report are not valued at derived market values. The management fee/all-in fee rates in effect as of the reporting date for the investment fund units held in the securities portfolio are shown in parentheses. A plus sign means that a performance-based fee may also be charged. As the fund held units of other investment funds (target funds) during the period under review, further costs, charges and fees may have been incurred at the level of these individual target funds. No initial sales charges or redemption fees were paid during the period under review.

Transactions completed during the reporting period that no longer appear in the investment portfolio: Purchases and sales of securities, investment fund units and promissory note loans (Schuldscheindarlehen); market classifications are as of the reporting date

page 103. BVI total expense ratio (TER)

The total expense ratio for the share classes was: Class FC 1.05% p.a., Class FD 1.02% p.a., Class LC 1.81% p.a., Class LD 1.83% p.a., Class PFC 1.17% p.a., Class PFD 0.79% p.a.

The TER expresses total expenses and fees (excluding transaction costs) as a percentage of a fund’s average net assets in relation to the respective share class for a given fiscal year. Further costs, charges and fees were incurred at the level of the target funds. The fund invested more than 20% of its assets in target funds. If the target funds publish a TER themselves, this will be taken into account at fund level (synthetic TER). If a TER is not published at target fund level, the all-in fee/management fee is used for the calculation. The synthetic TER was:

Class FC 2.03% p.a., Class FD 2.01% p.a., Class LC 2.80% p.a., Class LD 2.81% p.a., Class PFC 2.16% p.a., Class PFD 1.78% p.a.

Transaction costs

The transaction costs paid in the fiscal year amounted to EUR 2 565.50. The transaction costs include all costs that were reported or settled separately for the account of the fund in the fiscal year and are directly connected to the purchase or sale of assets. Any financial transaction taxes which may have been paid are included in the calculation.

Transactions processed for the account of the fund’s assets via closely related companies (based on major holdings of the Deutsche Bank Group)

The share of transactions conducted for the account of the investment fund’s assets via brokers that are closely related companies and persons (share of 5% and above), amounted to 0 .00% of all transactions . The total volume was EUR 0 .00 .

Placement fee / Dilution adjustment

In the reporting period the fund paid a placement fee of 2 .9% of the fund’s net assets to the sales agent . This was calculated on the subscription date . This placement fee serves in particular as compensation for distribution . The gross amount of the placement fee was paid on the subscription date and simultaneously recognized in the fund’s net assets as prepaid expenses . These are amortized on a daily basis over a period of three years from the subscription date . The remaining position for prepaid expenses per share on any valuation is calculated on a daily basis by multiplying the net assets of the fund by a factor . The relevant factor is determined by the linear reduction of the placement fee by a certain percentage on a daily basis over three years from the subscription date . The prepaid expenses position fluctuates during the three years from the subscription date, since it depends on both the fund’s net assets and the predetermined factor . In addition, a dilution adjustment of up to 3% based on the gross redemption amount was charged for the benefit of the fund’s net assets in the reporting period (to be paid by the shareholder) . Further details on the placement fee and the dilution adjustment can be found in the corresponding section of the fund’s sales prospectus .

Notes on valuation

Under the responsibility of the Board of Directors of the SICAV, the Management Company determines the net asset values per share and performs the valuation of the assets of the fund . The basic provision of price data and price validation are performed in accordance with the method introduced by the Board of Directors of the SICAV on the basis of the legal and regulatory requirements or the principles for valuation methods defined in the SICAV’s prospectus .

If no trading prices are available, prices are determined with the aid of valuation models (derived market values) which are agreed between State Street Bank Luxembourg S .C .A . as external price service provider and the Management Company and which are based as far as possible on market parameters . This procedure is subject to an ongoing monitoring process . The plausibility of price information from third parties is checked through other pricing sources, model calculations or other suitable procedure .

Assets reported in this report are not valued at derived market values .

The management fee/all-in fee rates in effect as of the reporting date for the investment fund units held in the securities portfolio are shown in parentheses . A plus sign means that a performance-based fee may also be charged . As the fund held units of other investment funds (target funds) during the period under review, further costs, charges and fees may have been incurred at the level of these individual target funds . No initial sales charges or redemption fees were paid during the period under review .

BVI total expense ratio (TER) The total expense ratio for the share classes was: Class LC 2.51% p.a., Class LD 2.52% p.a., Class PFC 2.48% p.a., Class PFD 1.55% p.a. The TER expresses total expenses and fees (excluding transaction costs) as a percentage of a fund’s average net assets in relation to the respective share class for a given fiscal year.

Further costs, charges and fees were incurred at the level of the target funds. The fund invested more than 20% of its assets in target funds. If the target funds publish a TER themselves, this will be taken into account at fund level (synthetic TER). If a TER is not published at target fund level, the all-in fee/management fee is used for the calculation. The synthetic TER was: Class LC 3.17% p.a., Class LD 3.18% p.a., Class PFC 3.14% p.a., Class PFD 2.21% p.a.

Transaction costs The transaction costs paid in the fiscal year amounted to EUR 8 809.74.

The transaction costs include all costs that were reported or settled separately for the account of the fund in the fiscal year and are directly connected to the purchase or sale of assets. Any financial transaction taxes which may have been paid are included in the calculation.

Transactions processed for the account of the fund’s assets via closely related companies (based on major holdings of the Deutsche Bank Group)

The share of transactions conducted for the account of the investment fund’s assets via brokers that are closely related companies and persons (share of 5% and above), amounted to 4 .32% of all transactions . The total volume was EUR 3 514 809 .00 .

Placement fee / Dilution adjustment

In the reporting period the fund paid a placement fee of 2 .9% of the fund’s net assets to the sales agent . This was calculated on the subscription date . This placement fee serves in particular as compensation for distribution . The gross amount of the placement fee was paid on the subscription date and simultaneously recognized in the fund’s net assets as prepaid expenses . These are amortized on a daily basis over a period of three years from the subscription date . The remaining position for prepaid expenses per share on any valuation is calculated on a daily basis by multiplying the net assets of the fund by a factor . The relevant factor is determined by the linear reduction of the placement fee by a certain percentage on a daily basis over three years from the subscription date . The prepaid expenses position fluctuates during the three years from the subscription date, since it depends on both the fund’s net assets and the predetermined factor .

In addition, a dilution adjustment of up to 3% based on the gross redemption amount was charged for the benefit of the fund’s net assets in the reporting period (to be paid by the shareholder) .

Further details on the placement fee and the dilution adjustment can be found in the corresponding section of the fund’s sales prospectus .

The values-at-risk were calculated for the year from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018, using historical simulation with a 99% confidence level, a 10-day holding period and an effective historical observation period of one year. The risk in a reference portfolio that does not contain derivatives is used as the measurement benchmark. Market risk is the risk to the fund’s assets arising from an unfavorable change in market prices. The Company determines the potential market risk by means of the relative value-at-risk approach as defined in CSSF circular 11/512.

In the reporting period, the average leverage effect from the use of derivatives was 0.1, whereby the total of the nominal amounts of the derivatives in relation to the fund’s assets was used for the calculation (sum-of-notional approach).

The gross exposure generated via derivatives pursuant to point 40 a) of the “Guidelines on ETFs and other UCITS issues” of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) totaled EUR 5 509 361.19 as of the reporting date.

BVI total expense ratio (TER) The total expense ratio for the share classes was: Class LC 2.37% p.a., Class LD 2.40% p.a., Class PFC 1.39% p.a., Class PFD 1.24% p.a.

The TER expresses total expenses and fees (excluding transaction costs) as a percentage of a fund’s average net assets in relation to the respective share class for a given fiscal year.

Further costs, charges and fees were incurred at the level of the target funds. The fund invested more than 20% of its assets in target funds. If the target funds publish a TER themselves, this will be taken into account at fund level (synthetic TER). If a TER is not published at target fund level, the all-in fee/management fee is used for the calculation. The synthetic TER was:

Class LC 2.94% p.a., Class LD 2.96% p.a.,Class PFC 1.95% p.a., Class PFD 1.80% p.a.

Transaction costs The transaction costs paid in the fiscal year amounted to EUR 17 614.98.

The transaction costs include all costs that were reported or settled separately for the account of the fund in the fiscal year and are directly connected to the purchase or sale of assets. Any financial transaction taxes which may have been paid are included in the calculation.

Transactions processed for the account of the fund’s assets via closely related companies (based on major holdings of the Deutsche Bank Group)

The share of transactions conducted for the account of the investment fund’s assets via brokers that are closely related companies and persons (share of 5% and above), amounted to 30 .48% of all transactions . The total volume was EUR 24 862 277 .50 .

Placement fee / Dilution adjustment

In the reporting period the fund paid a placement fee of 2 .9% of the fund’s net assets to the sales agent . This was calculated on the subscription date . This placement fee serves in particular as compensation for distribution . The gross amount of the placement fee was paid on the subscription date and simultaneously recognized in the fund’s net assets as prepaid expenses . These are amortized on a daily basis over a period of three years from the subscription date . The remaining position for prepaid expenses per share on any valuation is calculated on a daily basis by multiplying the net assets of the fund by a factor . The relevant factor is determined by the linear reduction of the placement fee by a certain percentage on a daily basis over three years from the subscription date . The prepaid expenses position fluctuates during the three years from the subscription date, since it depends on both the fund’s net assets and the predetermined factor . In addition, a dilution adjustment of up to 3% based on the gross redemption amount was charged for the benefit of the fund’s net assets in the reporting period (to be paid by the shareholder) . Further details on the placement fee and the dilution adjustment can be found in the corresponding section of the fund’s sales prospectus .

The values-at-risk were calculated for the year from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018, using historical simulation with a 99% confidence level, a 10-day holding period and an effective historical observation period of one year. Market risk is the risk to the fund’s assets arising from an unfavorable change in market prices. The Company determines the potential market risk by means of the absolute value-at-risk approach as defined in CSSF circular 11/512.

In the reporting period, the average leverage effect from the use of derivatives was 0.0, whereby the total of the nominal amounts of the derivatives in relation to the fund’s assets was used for the calculation (sum-of-notional approach).

The gross exposure generated via derivatives pursuant to point 40 a) of the “Guidelines on ETFs and other UCITS issues” of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) totaled EUR 0.00 as of the reporting date.

Notes on the valuation

Under the responsibility of the Board of Directors of the SICAV, the Management Company determines the net asset values per share and performs the valuation of the assets of the fund. The basic provision of price data and price validation are performed in accordance with the method introduced by the Board of Directors of the SICAV on the basis of the legal and regulatory requirements or the principles for valuation methods defined in the SICAV’s prospectus.

If no trading prices are available, prices are determined with the aid of valuation models (derived market values) which are agreed between State Street Bank Luxembourg S.C.A. as external price service provider and the Management Company and which are based as far as possible on market parameters. This procedure is subject to an ongoing monitoring process. The plausibility of price information from third parties is checked through other pricing sources, model calculations or other suitable procedure.

Assets reported in this report are valued to a small extent at derived market values.

The management fee/all-in fee rates in effect as of the reporting date for the investment fund units held in the securities portfolio are shown in parentheses.

BVI total expense ratio (TER) The total expense ratio for the share classes was:

Class LC 2.17% p.a., Class LD 2.17% p.a.,Class PFC 2.40% p.a. The TER expresses total expenses and fees (excluding transaction costs) as a percentage of a fund’s average net assets in relation to the respective share class for a given fiscal year. Further costs, charges and fees were incurred at the level of the target funds. The fund invested more than 20% of its assets in target funds. If the target funds publish a TER themselves, this will be taken into account at fund level (synthetic TER). If a TER is not published at target fund level, the all-in fee/management fee is used for the calcula-tion. The synthetic TER was: Class LC 3.26% p.a., Class LD 3.26% p.a.,Class PFC 3.49% p.a.

Transaction costs

The transaction costs paid in the fiscal year amounted to EUR 3 207.19.

The transaction costs include all costs that were reported or settled separately for the account of the fund in the fiscal year and are directly connected to the purchase or sale of assets. Any financial transaction taxes which may have been paid are included in the calculation.

Transactions processed for the account of the fund’s assets via closely related companies (based on major holdings of the Deutsche Bank Group)

The share of transactions conducted for the account of the investment fund’s assets via brokers that are closely related companies and persons (share of 5% and above), amounted to 0.00% of all transactions. The total volume was EUR 0.00.

Placement fee / Dilution adjustment

In the reporting period the fund paid a placement fee of 2.9% of the fund’s net assets to the sales agent. This was calculated on the subscription date. This placement fee serves in particular as compensation for distribution. The gross amount of the placement fee was paid on the subscription date and simultaneously recognized in the fund’s net assets as prepaid expenses. These are amortized on a daily basis over a period of three years from the subscription date. The remaining position for prepaid expenses per share on any valuation is calculated on a daily basis by multiplying the net assets of the fund by a factor. The relevant factor is determined by the linear reduction of the placement fee by a certain percentage on a daily basis over three years from the subscription date. The prepaid expenses position fluctuates during the three years from the subscription date, since it depends on both the fund’s net assets and the predetermined factor. In addition, a dilution adjustment of up to 3% based on the gross redemption amount was charged for the benefit of the fund’s net assets in the reporting period (to be paid by the shareholder). Further details on the placement fee and the dilution adjustment can be found in the corresponding section of the fund’s sales prospectus.

Notes on valuation

Under the responsibility of the Board of Directors of the SICAV, the Management Company determines the net asset values per share and performs the valuation of the assets of the fund . The basic provision of price data and price validation are performed in accordance with the method introduced by the Board of Directors of the SICAV on the basis of the legal and regulatory requirements or the principles for valuation methods defined in the SICAV’s prospectus . If no trading prices are available, prices are determined with the aid of valuation models (derived market values) which are agreed between State Street Bank Luxembourg S .C .A . as external price service provider and the Management Company and which are based as far as possible on market parameters . This procedure is subject to an ongoing monitoring process . The plausibility of price information from third parties is checked through other pricing sources, model calculations or other suitable procedure . Assets reported in this report are not valued at derived market values . The management fee/all-in fee rates in effect as of the reporting date for the investment fund units held in the securities portfolio are shown in parentheses . A plus sign means that a performance-based fee may also be charged . As the fund held units of other investment funds (target funds) during the period under review, further costs, charges and fees may have been incurred at the level of these individual target funds . No initial sales charges or redemption fees were paid during the period under review .

Transactions processed for the account of the fund’s assets via closely related companies (based on major holdings of the Deutsche Bank Group)

The share of transactions conducted for the account of the investment fund’s assets via brokers that are closely related companies and persons (share of 5% and above), amounted to 0 .00% of all transactions . The total volume was EUR 23 .34 .

Placement fee / Dilution adjustment

In the reporting period the fund paid a placement fee of 2 .9% of the fund’s net assets to the sales agent . This was calculated on the subscription date . This placement fee serves in particular as compensation for distribution . The gross amount of the placement fee was paid on the subscription date and simultaneously recognized in the fund’s net assets as prepaid expenses . These are amortized on a daily basis over a period of three years from the subscription date . The remaining position for prepaid expenses per share on any valuation is cal-culated on a daily basis by multiplying the net assets of the fund by a factor . The relevant factor is determined by the linear reduction of the placement fee by a certain percentage on a daily basis over three years from the subscription date . The prepaid expenses position fluctuates during the three years from the subscription date, since it depends on both the fund’s net assets and the predetermined factor . In addition, a dilution adjustment of up to 3% based on the gross redemption amount was charged for the benefit of the fund’s net assets in the reporting period (to be paid by the shareholder) . Further details on the placement fee and the dilution adjustment can be found in the corresponding section of the fund’s sales prospectus .

The risk in a reference portfolio that does not contain derivatives is used as the measurement benchmark. Market risk is the risk to the fund’s assets arising from an unfavorable change in market prices. The Company determines the potential market risk by means of the relative value-at-risk approach as defined in CSSF circular 11/512.

In the reporting period, the average leverage effect from the use of derivatives was 0.0, whereby the total of the nominal amounts of the derivatives in relation to the fund’s assets was used for the calculation (sum-of-notional approach).

The gross exposure generated via derivatives pursuant to point 40 a) of the “Guidelines on ETFs and other UCITS issues” of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) totaled EUR 0.00 as of the reporting date.

Notes on valuation

Under the responsibility of the Board of Directors of the SICAV, the Management Company determines the net asset values per share and performs the valuation of the assets of the fund. The basic provision of price data and price validation are performed in accordance with the method introduced by the Board of Directors of the SICAV on the basis of the legal and regulatory requirements or the principles for valuation methods defined in the SICAV’s prospectus.

If no trading prices are available, prices are determined with the aid of valuation models (derived market values) which are agreed between State Street Bank Luxembourg S.C.A. as external price service provider and the Management Company and which are based as far as possible on market parameters. This procedure is subject to an ongoing monitoring process. The plausibility of price information from third parties is checked through other pricing sources, model calculations or other suitable procedure.

Assets reported in this report are not valued at derived market values.

The management fee/all-in fee rates in effect as of the reporting date for the investment fund units held in the securities portfolio are shown in parentheses. A plus sign means that a performance-based fee may also be charged. As the fund held units of other investment funds (target funds) during the period under review, further costs, charges and fees may have been incurred at the level of these individual target funds. No initial sales charges or redemption fees were paid during the period under review.

Footnote

* The prepaid placement fee is amortized over a period of three years (in accordance with article 13 (d) of the general section of the management regulations for the fund).

BVI total expense ratio (TER)

The total expense ratio for the share classes was:

Class LC 2.64% p.a., Class PFC 2.98% p.a.

The TER expresses total expenses and fees (excluding transaction costs) as a percentage of a fund’s average net assets in relation to the respective share class for a given fiscal year.

Further costs, charges and fees were incurred at the level of the target funds. The fund invested more than 20% of its assets in target funds. If the target funds publish a TER themselves, this will be taken into account at fund level (synthetic TER). If a TER is not published at target fund level, the all-in fee/management fee is used for the calculation. The synthetic TER was:

Class LC 2.79% p.a., Class PFC 3.13% p.a.

Transaction costs

The transaction costs paid in the fiscal year amounted to EUR 6 252.18.

The transaction costs include all costs that were reported or settled separately for the account of the fund in the fiscal year and are directly connected to the purchase or sale of assets. Any financial transaction taxes which may have been paid are included in the calculation.

Transactions processed for the account of the fund’s assets via closely related companies (based on major holdings of the Deutsche Bank Group)

The share of transactions conducted for the account of the investment fund’s assets via brokers that are closely related companies and persons (share of 5% and above), amounted to 0.00 % of all transactions. The total volume was EUR 0.00.

Placement fee / Dilution adjustment

In the reporting period the fund paid a placement fee of 2.9% of the fund’s net assets to the sales agent. This was calculated on the subscription date. This placement fee serves in particular as compensation for distribution. The gross amount of the placement fee was paid on the subscription date and simultaneously recognized in the fund’s net assets as prepaid expenses. These are amortized on a daily basis over a period of three years from the subscription date. The remaining position for prepaid expenses per share on any valuation is calculated on a daily basis by multiplying the net assets of the fund by a factor. The relevant factor is determined by the linear reduction of the placement fee by a certain percentage on a daily basis over three years from the subscription date. The prepaid expenses position fluctuates during the three years from the subscription date, since it depends on both the fund’s net assets and the predetermined factor.

In addition, a dilution adjustment of up to 3% based on the gross redemption amount was charged for the benefit of the fund’s net assets in the reporting period (to be paid by the shareholder).

Further details on the placement fee and the dilution adjustment can be found in the corresponding section of the fund’s sales prospectus.

Notes on the valuation

Under the responsibility of the Board of Directors of the SICAV, the Management Company determines the net asset values per share and performs the valuation of the assets of the fund . The basic provision of price data and price validation are performed in accordance with the method introduced by the Board of Directors of the SICAV on the basis of the legal and regulatory requirements or the principles for valuation methods defined in the SICAV’s prospectus .

If no trading prices are available, prices are determined with the aid of valuation models (derived market values) which are agreed between State Street Bank Luxembourg S .C .A . as external price service provider and the Management Company and which are based as far as possible on market parameters . This procedure is subject to an ongoing monitoring process . The plausibility of price information from third parties is checked through other pricing sources, model calculations or other suitable procedure .

Assets reported in this report are not valued at derived market values .

The management fee/all-in fee rates in effect as of the reporting date for the investment fund units held in the securities portfolio are shown in parentheses . A plus sign means that a performance-based fee may also be charged . As the fund held units of other investment funds (target funds) during the period under review, further costs, charges and fees may have been incurred at the level of these individual target funds . No initial sales charges or redemption fees were paid during the period under review .

Footnotes

* The prepaid placement fee is amortized over a period of three years (in accordance with article 13 (d) of the general section of the management regulations for the fund) . ** Does not include positions with a negative balance, if such exist .

BVI total expense ratio (TER)

The total expense ratio for the share classes was:

Class LC 2.01% p.a., Class LD 2.00% p.a., Class PFC 2.26% p.a., Class PFD 2.28% p.a.

The TER expresses total expenses and fees (excluding transaction costs) as a percentage of a fund’s average net assets in relation to the respective share class for a given fiscal year.

Further costs, charges and fees were incurred at the level of the target funds. The fund invested more than 20% of its assets in target funds. If the target funds publish a TER themselves, this will be taken into account at fund level (synthetic TER). If a TER is not published at target fund level, the all-in fee/management fee is used for the calculation. The synthetic TER was:

Class LC 2.56% p.a., Class LD 2.55% p.a., Class PFC 2.82% p.a., Class PFD 2.83% p.a.

Transaction costs

The transaction costs paid in the fiscal year amounted to EUR 57 308.96.

The transaction costs include all costs that were reported or settled separately for the account of the fund in the fiscal year and are directly connected to the purchase or sale of assets. Any financial transaction taxes which may have been paid are included in the calculation.

db Advisory Multibrands – Pictet Multi Asset Flexible Allocation

Transactions processed for the account of the fund’s assets via closely related companies (based on major holdings of the Deutsche Bank Group)

The share of transactions conducted for the account of the investment fund’s assets via brokers that are closely related companies and persons (share of 5% and above), amounted to 4.75% of all transactions. The total volume was EUR 13 381 007.44.

Placement fee / Dilution adjustment

In the reporting period the fund paid a placement fee of 2.9% of the fund’s net assets to the sales agent. This was calculated on the subscription date. This placement fee serves in particular as compensation for distribution. The gross amount of the placement fee was paid on the subscription date and simultaneously recognized in the fund’s net assets as prepaid expenses. These are amortized on a daily basis over a period of three years from the subscription date. The remaining position for prepaid expenses per share on any valu-ation is calculated on a daily basis by multiplying the net assets of the fund by a factor. The relevant factor is determined by the linear reduction of the placement fee by a certain percentage on a daily basis over three years from the subscription date. The prepaid expenses position fluctuates during the three years from the subscription date, since it depends on both the fund’s net assets and the predetermined factor.

In addition, a dilution adjustment of up to 3% based on the gross redemption amount was charged for the benefit of the fund’s net assets in the reporting period (to be paid by the shareholder).

Further details on the placement fee and the dilution adjustment can be found in the corresponding section of the fund’s sales prospectus.

Transactions processed for the account of the fund’s assets via closely related companies (based on major holdings of the Deutsche Bank Group)

The share of transactions conducted for the account of the investment fund’s assets via brokers that are closely related companies and persons (share of 5% and above), amounted to 4 .57% of all transactions . The total volume was EUR 63 435 837 .31 .

Placement fee / Dilution adjustment

In the reporting period the fund paid a placement fee of 2 .9% of the fund’s net assets to the sales agent . This was calculated on the subscription date . This placement fee serves in particular as compensation for distribution . The gross amount of the placement fee was paid on the subscription date and simultaneously recognized in the fund’s net assets as prepaid expenses . These are amortized on a daily basis over a period of three years from the subscription date . The remaining position for prepaid expenses per share on any valuation is calculated on a daily basis by multiplying the net assets of the fund by a factor . The relevant factor is determined by the linear reduction of the placement fee by a certain percentage on a daily basis over three years from the subscription date . The prepaid expenses position fluctuates during the three years from the subscription date, since it depends on both the fund’s net assets and the predetermined factor .

In addition, a dilution adjustment of up to 3% based on the gross redemption amount was charged for the benefit of the fund’s net assets in the reporting period (to be paid by the shareholder) .

Further details on the placement fee and the dilution adjustment can be found in the corresponding section of the fund’s sales prospectus .

Transactions processed for the account of the fund’s assets via closely related companies (based on major holdings of the Deutsche Bank Group)

The share of transactions conducted for the account of the investment fund’s assets via brokers that are closely related companies and persons (share of 5% and above), amounted to 3 .17% of all transactions . The total volume was EUR 13 478 246 .54 .

Placement fee / Dilution adjustment

In the reporting period the fund paid a placement fee of 2 .9% of the fund’s net assets to the sales agent . This was calculated on the subscription date . This placement fee serves in particular as compensation for distribution . The gross amount of the placement fee was paid on the subscription date and simultaneously recognized in the fund’s net assets as prepaid expenses . These are amortized on a daily basis over a period of three years from the subscription date . The remaining position for prepaid expenses per share on any valu-ation is calculated on a daily basis by multiplying the net assets of the fund by a factor . The relevant factor is determined by the linear reduction of the placement fee by a certain percentage on a daily basis over three years from the subscription date . The prepaid expenses position fluctuates during the three years from the subscription date, since it depends on both the fund’s net assets and the predetermined factor .

In addition, a dilution adjustment of up to 3% based on the gross redemption amount was charged for the benefit of the fund’s net assets in the reporting period (to be paid by the shareholder) .

Further details on the placement fee and the dilution adjustment can be found in the corresponding section of the fund’s sales prospectus .

Supplementary information

The DWS Investment S.A. (the “Company”) is a subsidiary in DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (DWS KGaA), Frankfurt, one of the world’s leading asset managers providing a broad range of investment products and services across all major asset classes as well as solutions aligned to growth trends to its clients globally.

Since 23 March 2018, DWS KGaA is a publicly traded company listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, which is majority owned by Deutsche Bank AG.

As a result of the sector specific legislation under UCITS V (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities Directive V) and in accordance with Sec. 1 and Sec. 27 of the German “Institutsvergütungsverordnung” (InstVV), the Company is carved-out from Deutsche Bank Group’s (DB Group) compensation policy and strategy. DWS KGaA and its subsidiaries (DWS Group) have established their own compensation governance, policy, and structures, including a DWS group-wide guideline of identifying “Material Risk Takers” (“MRTs”) at Company level as well as DWS Group level in line with the criteria stated in UCITS V and in the guidelines the on sound remuneration policies under UCITS published by the European Securities and Markets Authority (“ESMA Guidelines”).

Governance Structure

DWS Group is managed through its General Partner, the DWS Management GmbH. The General Partner has eight Managing Directors who serve as the Executive Board (“EB”) of DWS Group. The Executive Board – supported by the DWS Compensation Committee (“DCC”) – is responsible for establishing and operating the compensation system for employees. It is overseen by the DWS KGaA Supervisory Board which has established a Remuneration Committee (“RC”). The RC reviews the compensation system of the DWS Group’s employees and its appropriateness.

The DCC is mandated to develop and design sustainable compensation frameworks and operating principles, to prepare recommendations on total compensation levels, and to ensure appropriate compensation and benefits governance and oversight for DWS Group. The DCC establishes quantitative and qualitative factors to assess performance as a basis for compensa-tion related decisions and makes appropriate recommendations to the EB regarding the annual Variable Compensation pool and its allocation across the business areas and Infrastructure functions. In order to maintain its independence, only EB members without any responsibility for the Investment Group or for the Coverage Group are members of the DCC. The DCC comprises the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Chief Control Officer (“CCO”), Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and the Global Head of HR as Voting Mem-bers. The Head of Performance & Reward is a nonvoting member. The membership of the CCO ensures that Control Functions such as Compliance, Anti-Financial Crime, and Risk Manage-ment are appropriately involved in the design and application of DWS’ remuneration systems in the context of the tasks and functions assigned to them, to ensure that the remuneration systems do not create conflicts of interests, and to review the effects on the risk profile of DWS Group. The DCC reviews the remuneration framework of DWS Group regularly, at least annually, which includes the principles applying to the Company, and assesses if substantial changes or amendments due to irregularities have to be made.

The DCC works in cooperation with committees at DB Group level, in particular the DB Senior Executive Compensation Committee (“SECC”) and continues to leverage certain DB control committees, delegated committees of SECC such as Compensation Operating Committee (COC), Employee Investment Plan Investment Committee (EIP IC), Forfeiture and Suspension Review Committee (FSRC), Group Compensation Oversight Committee (GCOC) and Pension Risk Committee (PRC).

The internal annual review at DWS Group level concluded the design of the remuneration system to be appropriate, no significant irregularities were recognized.

Compensation Structure

The employees of the Company are subject to the compensation standards and principles as outlined in the DWS Compensation Policy. The policy is reviewed on an annual basis. As part of the Compensation Policy, DWS Group, including the Company, employs a Total Compensation (“TC”) philosophy which comprises Fixed Pay (“FP”) and Variable Compensation (“VC”).

DWS Group ensures an appropriate relationship between FP and VC across all categories and groups of employees. TC structures and levels reflect the Sub-Divisional and regional compen-sation structures, internal relativities, and market data, and assist in seeking consistency across DWS Group. One of the main objectives of DWS Group’s strategy is to align reward for sustainable performance at all levels of DWS Group whilst enhancing the transparency of compensation decisions and their impact on shareholders and employees with regard to DWS Group and DB Group performance. Achieving a sustainable balance between employee, shareholder and client interests is a key aspect of DWS’ Group compensation strategy.

FP is used to compensate employees for their skills, experience and competencies, commensurate with the requirements, size and scope of their role. The appropriate level of FP is deter-mined with reference to the prevailing market rates for each role, internal comparisons and applicable regulatory requirements.

VC is a discretionary compensation element that enables DWS Group to provide additional reward to employees for their performance and behaviours without encouraging excessive risk-taking. VC determination considers sound risk measures by taking into account DWS Group Risk Appetite as well as DWS Group affordability and financial situation and providing for a fully flexible policy on granting or “not-granting” VC. VC generally consists of two elements – the “Group Component” and the “Individual Component”. There continues to be no guarantee of VC in an existing employment relationship.

2018 is considered as a transitional year in the light of forming a DWS Group Compensation Framework. Therefore the Group Component is determined based upon the performance of four equally weighted Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) at DB Group level: Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio, leverage ratio, adjusted costs and post-tax return on tangible equity (“RoTE”). These four KPIs represent important metrics for the capital, risk, cost and the revenue profile of DB Group and provide a good indication of its sustainable performance.

With the “Group Component”, DWS Group and the Company aim to recognise that every employee contributes to DWS Group’s and thereby to DB Group’s success.

Depending on eligibility, the “Individual Component” is delivered either in the form of Individual VC (IVC) or a Recognition Award. IVC takes into consideration a number of financial and non-financial factors, relativities within the employee’s peer group and retention considerations. The Recognition Award provides the opportunity to acknowledge and reward outstanding contri-butions made by employees outside the scope of IVC eligibility (these are generally employees at lower hierarchical levels). Generally, there are two nomination cycles per year.

Both Group and IVC may be awarded in cash, share-based or fund-based instruments under the DWS Group deferral arrangements. DWS Group retains the right to reduce the total amount of VC, including the Group Component, to zero in cases of significant misconduct, performance-related measures, disciplinary outcomes or unsatisfactory conduct or behaviour by the employee subject to applicable local law.

Determination of VC and appropriate risk-adjustment

DWS Group’s VC pools are subject to appropriate risk-adjustment measures which include ex-ante and ex-post risk adjustments. The robust methodology in place aims at ensuring that the determination of VC reflects the risk-adjusted performance as well as the capital and liquidity position of DWS Group. The total amount of VC is primarily driven by (i) Group affordability (i.e. what “can” DWS Group sustainable afford award in alignment with regulatory requirements) and (ii) performance (what “should” DWS Group award in order to provide an appropriate compensation for performance and future incentive while protecting the long-term health of the franchise).

At the level of the individual employee, DWS Group has established “Variable Compensation Guiding Principles” which detail the factors and metrics that must be taken into account when making IVC decisions. These include, for instance, investment performance, client retention, culture considerations, and objective setting and performance assessment based on the “Total Performance’ approach. Furthermore, any control function inputs and disciplinary sanctions and their impact on the VC have to be considered as well.

When making discretionary sub-pool allocations, the DWS DCC utilized the internal balanced scorecard metrics (financial and non-financial) in order to achieve differentiated and performance linked VC pools.

Compensation for 2018

Following on from strong 2017, the global asset management industry faced a challenging year in 2018, driven by unfavorable market conditions, heightened geopolitical tensions and nega-tive investor sentiment, particularly in the European retail market. DWS Group was also impacted by these developments.

Against this backdrop, the DCC have monitored the affordability of VC for 2018. The committee has concluded that, taking into account the DWS Group’s pre-tax and after-tax profits, the capital and liquidity positions remain comfortably above regulatory minimum requirements, and internal risk appetite threshold.

As part of the overall 2018 VC awards to be granted in March 2019, the Group Component was awarded to eligible employees in line with the assessment of the defined four KPIs. The Deutsche Bank AG Management Board recognizing the considerable contribution of employees and at its sole discretion determined a target achievement rate of 70% for 2018.

Identification of Material Risk Takers

In accordance with the Law as of 17 December 2010 on Undertakings for Collective Investments (as subsequently amended) in conjunction with the ESMA Guidelines, the Company has identified individuals who have a material impact of the Company’s risk profile (“Material Risk Takers”). The identification process has been based on an assessment of the impact of the following categories of staff on the risk profile of the Company or on a fund it manages: (a) Board Members/Senior Management, (b) Portfolio/Investment managers, (c) Control Functions, (d) Staff heading Administration, Marketing and Human Resources, (e) other individuals (Risk Takers) in a significant position of influence, (f) other employees in the same remuneration bracket as other Risk Takers. At least 40% of the VC for Material Risk Takers is deferred. Additionally, at least 50% of both, the upfront and the deferred proportion, are granted in DWS Group share-based instruments or fund-linked instruments for Key Investment Professionals. All deferred components are subject to a number of performance conditions and forfeiture provisions which ensure an appropriate ex-post risk adjustment.

REPORT OF THE REVISEUR D’ENTREPRISES AGREE

Report on the audit of the financial statements

OpinionWe have audited the accompanying financial statements of db Advisory Multibrands, SICAV (the “Fund”) and each of its sub-funds, which comprise the statement of net assets including the statement of invest-ments in securities and other net assets as at 31 December 2018 and the statement of income and expens-es and the statement of changes in net assets for the year then ended, and explanatory information to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of db Advisory Multibrands, SICAV as at 31 December 2018 and of the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the year then ended in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory require-ments relating to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements.

Basis for opinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 on the audit profession (“Law of 23 July 2016”) and with International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”) as adopted for Luxembourg by the Commis-sion de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (“CSSF”). Our responsibilities under the Law of 23 July 2016 and ISAs are further described in the «Responsibilities of “Réviseur d’Entreprises agréé” for the audit of the fi-nancial statements» section of our report. We are also independent of the Fund in accordance with the In-ternational Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”) as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities under those ethical requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other informationThe Board of Directors of the Fund is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information stated in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our report of “Réviseur d’Entreprises agréé” thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial state-ments or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report this fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Board of Directors of the Fund for the financial statementsThe Board of Directors of the Fund is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors of the Fund determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors of the Fund is responsible for assessing the Fund’s ability and each of its sub-funds’ to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors of the Fund either intends to liquidate the Fund or close any of its sub-funds or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Responsibilities of the “Réviseur d’Entreprises agréé” for the audit of the financial statementsThe objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of “Réviseur d’Entreprises agréé” that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reason-ably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial state-ments.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.

We also:

•   Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstate-ment resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forg-ery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

•   Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effective-ness of the Fund’s internal control.

•   Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors of the Fund.

•   Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Directors of the Fund’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Fund’s or any of its sub-funds’ ability to con-tinue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw atten-tion in our report of “Réviseur d’Entreprises agréé” to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evi-dence obtained up to the date of our report of “Réviseur d’Entreprises agréé”. However, future events or conditions may cause the Fund or any of its sub-funds to cease to continue as a going concern.

•   Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclo-sures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal con-trol that we identify during our audit.
