DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the year ended 31 December 2014 Incorporation Canaccord Genuity Investment Funds plc (the “Company”) is an umbrella type open-ended investment company with variable capital incorporated with limited liability in Ireland on 26 February 2003 and authorised under the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011. The Directors are pleased to present their report on the activities of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014. Review of Business and Future Developments A review of the activities of each of the Funds is provided in the Investment Managers' Reports. The reports are prepared by the portfolio manager of each of the Funds. The Directors consider that the reports prepared are appropriate for each of the Funds. Statement of Directors' Responsibilities Irish company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Directors are required to:
x
select suitable accounting policies for the Company financial statements and then apply them consistently;
x
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
x
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper books of account which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland and comply with Irish statute comprising the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013 and the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Basis of Presentation The format and certain wording of the financial statements have been adapted from that contained in the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1986, to one that, in the opinion of the Directors, more appropriately reflects the nature of the Company’s business as an investment fund. Directors’ statement on Proper Books of Account The Directors believe that they have complied with the requirements of section 202 of the Companies Act, 1990 with regard to books of account by employing personnel with appropriate expertise and by providing adequate resources to the finance function. The books of account of the Company are maintained at Northern Trust International Fund Administration Services (Ireland) Limited, Georges Court, 54-62 Townsend Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. Revenue The result of operations for the year are set out in the Income Statement on pages 28 and 29. Distribution Distributions for the year are disclosed in Note 12 to the Financial Statements. Directors’ Interests in Shares of the Company Mr John Renouf held 1,274.37 (2013: 1,234.94) shares in the CGWM Total Return Bond Fund at the year end date. No other Director, nor the Company Secretary, had any beneficial interest in the shares or any significant contracts with the Company during the year or in the prior year. Transactions with Connected Parties All transactions with connected parties are required to be carried out at arm’s length and in the best interest of shareholders. A connected party (as defined in the UCITS notices) is the promoter, manager, custodian, investment managers and/or associated or group companies. The Directors of the Company are satisfied that there are arrangements in place to ensure that this requirement is applied to all transactions with connected parties and that all transactions with connected parties during the period complied with this requirement. UCITS Notice 14 deems a “Custodian” and its “associated or group companies” to be connected parties to the Company. As such, Northern Trust Fiduciary Services (Ireland) Limited (NTFSIL), the Custodian, and Northern Trust International Fund Administration Services (Ireland) Limited (NTIFASIL), the Administrator, are connected parties to the Company.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2014 Transactions with connected parties (continued) During the period, NTFSIL and NTIFASIL earned fees for provision of custody and administration services to the Company as disclosed in the Income Statement. NTFSIL were selected by the Company to execute foreign exchange transactions and purchase and sell securities on behalf of the sub-funds, the terms of such transactions are agreed/negotiated by the Company through the Investment Managers and The Northern Trust Company, London Branch (NTC).

Corporate Governance Statement The European Communities (Directive 2006/46/EC) Regulations (S.I. 450 of 2009 and S.I. 83 of 2010) (the “Regulations”) requires the inclusion of a corporate governance statement in the Directors’ Report.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2014 Corporate Governance Statement (continued) Although there is no specific statutory corporate governance code applicable to Irish collective investment schemes whose shares are admitted to trading on the Irish Stock Exchange, the Company is subject to corporate governance practices imposed by: (i) The Irish Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013 which are available for inspection at the registered office of the Company; (ii) The Articles of Association of the Company which are available for inspection at the registered office of the Company at 54-62 Townsend Street, Dublin 2, Ireland and at the Companies Registration Office in Ireland; (iii) The Central Bank of Ireland in their UCITS Notices and Guidance Notes which can be obtained from the Central Bank of Ireland/Financial Regulator’s website and are available for inspection at the registered office of the Company; and (iv) The Irish Stock Exchange (“the ISE”) through the ISE Code of Listing Requirements and Procedures. The Board of Directors voluntarily complies with the Corporate Governance Code for Irish Domiciled Collective Investment Schemes as published by the Irish Funds Industry Association (“IFIA”) with effect from 1 January 2013. This forms the basis of the Company’s corporate governance code. The Board of Directors have previously assessed the measures included in the IFIA Code as being consistent with its corporate governance practices and procedures for the financial year and have formally adopted this code. Internal Control and Risk Management Systems in Relation to Financial Reporting The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control and risk management systems of the Company in relation to the financial reporting process. Such systems are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of error or fraud in achieving the Company’s financial reporting objectives and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The Board of Directors has procedures in place to ensure all relevant books of account are properly maintained and are readily available, including the production of annual and half-yearly financial statements. The Board of Directors has appointed the Administrator to maintain the books and records of the Company. The Administrator is authorised and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland and must comply with the rules imposed by the Central Bank. The financial statements are prepared by the Administrator in accordance with Irish Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The Administrator uses various internal controls and checklists to ensure that the financial statements include complete and appropriate disclosures required under Irish GAAP and relevant legislation. From time to time the Board also examines and evaluates the Administrator’s financial accounting and reporting routines. The annual financial statements of the Company are required to be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and the annual and half yearly financial statements of the Company are required to be filed with the Central Bank of Ireland and the Irish Stock Exchange. The statutory annual financial statements are required to be audited by independent auditors who report annually to the Board on their findings. The Board of Directors monitors and evaluates the independent auditor’s performance, qualifications and independence. As part of the review procedures the Board of Directors receives reports on the audit process. The Board of Directors evaluates and discusses significant accounting and reporting issues as the need arises. Dealings with Shareholders The convening and conduct of shareholders’ meetings are governed by the Articles of Association of the Company and the Companies Acts. Although the Directors may convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company at any time, the Directors are required to convene an annual general meeting of the Company each year ensuring that it is held within fifteen months of the date of the previous annual general meeting. Not less than twenty one clear days’ notice of every annual general meeting and any extraordinary general meeting convened for the passing of a special resolution must be given to shareholders and fourteen clear days’ notice must be given in the case of any other extraordinary general meeting unless the auditors of the Company and all the shareholders of the Company entitled to attend and vote agree to shorter notice. Two members present either in person or by proxy constitute a quorum at a general meeting provided that the quorum for a general meeting convened to consider any alteration to the class rights of shares is two shareholders holding or representing by proxy at least one third of the issued shares of the relevant fund or class. Every member holding shares present in person or by proxy who votes on a show of hands is entitled to one vote. On a poll, every member holding participating shares present in person or by proxy is entitled to one vote in respect of each share held by him. Shareholders may resolve to sanction an ordinary resolution or special resolution at a shareholders’ meeting. An ordinary resolution of the Company or of the shareholders of a particular fund or class requires a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders voting in person or by proxy at the meeting at which the resolution is proposed. A special resolution of the Company or of the shareholders of a particular fund or class requires a majority of not less than 75% of the shareholders present in person or by proxy and voting in general meeting in order to pass a special resolution including a resolution to amend the Articles of Association.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2014 Board Composition and Activities Unless otherwise determined by an ordinary resolution of the Company in general meeting, the number of Directors may not be less than two. Currently the Board of Directors of the Company is composed of four Directors, being those listed in the directory in these financial statements. The business of the Company is managed by the Directors, who exercise all such powers of the Company as are not required by the Companies Acts, the regulations or by the Articles of Association of the Company to be carried out in general meeting. A Director may, and the company secretary of the Company on the requisition of a Director will, at any time summon a meeting of the Directors. Questions arising at any meeting of the Directors are determined by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman has a second or casting vote. The quorum necessary for the transaction of business at a meeting of the Directors is two. On behalf of the Board

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORTS For the year ended 31 December 2014 CGWM Total Return Bond Fund Fund Performance The Fund returned +1.61% in total return terms net of all fees and expenses in 2014 whilst 3 month Sterling LIBOR returned +0.54% for the same period. Market Review At the start of 2014 there was a clear consensus that equities would outperform bonds over the course of the year. Whilst we highlighted the potential attraction of US Treasury and UK Gilt yields at c.3%, particularly against a backdrop of falling inflation, the scale of the gains delivered by government bonds in 2014 has clearly been a major surprise. While the US Federal Reserve were true to their word in ending their programme of US Treasury purchases, the liquidity baton was ultimately passed to Japan and Europe, who both increased their own monetary stimulus efforts. The broad outcome has been that virtually all bonds have benefitted, with 10-year US Treasury yields now standing at 2.2%, compared to 1.8% in the UK, 0.6% in Germany and 0.3% in Japan. Activity/review The Fund returned a reasonable cash plus return in 2014 in line with the investment objective. Market volatility hampered the return somewhat during the fourth quarter as government bond yields fell to extreme levels given the perceived outlook. The Fund has an overall duration of +1.07 years which is primarily focussed on foreign bonds with the UK exposure at netted at -0.45 years short the March 2015 Gilt future. The credit profile is well-spread across the range with 73% in AAA/AA bonds or cash and around 27% in single-A corporate bonds. Despite this cautious positioning, the Fund has a projected income yield of approximately 3%. Outlook There is presently little doubt in our minds that 2015 will bring with it more frequent periods of instability and market volatility, as the ‘ageing’ equity bull market becomes slightly more unstable. We do not believe that this constructive chapter for financial markets will end imminently, and expect the economic backdrop will continue to support a broad spread of assets. However, we are also mindful that the risk-return profile has, at the very least, deteriorated given the significant gains which have been made over the past two to three years. Bond yields are implying that significant interest rate hikes are unlikely in 2015 but with valuations appearing extended, prices could be vulnerable, particularly if economic growth continues to firm and/or inflationary pressures begin to build. We are therefore mindful of preserving capital and diversifying our approach as far as possible. Canaccord Genuity Wealth (International) Limited January 2015

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORTS (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2014 CGWM Select Income Fund Fund Performance The Fund has returned 4.77% net of all fees and expenses, in line with the 4.77% return for the GIFS GBP Cautious Allocation* peer group, the comparative peer group. Over the longer term the Fund has outperformed the peer group over a 3 year period (18.95% v 17.08%) and 5 year period (30.67% v 25.56%) with a similar level of risk. It is the 6th consecutive year of positive returns for the Fund and we have provided good absolute returns despite our cautious approach, leading to attractive risk adjusted returns for investors. Market Review Equity markets began and ended 2014 in a volatile fashion, however most bourses delivered positive returns. The FTSE rose 0.7% whilst the S&P 500 outperformed, with a 13.7% return for the full year. Emerging market woes were at the forefront of investors’ minds in January as rapidly weakening currencies, interest rate hikes and fears of an economic slowdown in China resulted in a sharp sell-off across emerging equity markets. Heightened geopolitical risks (Ukraine/Russia and Middle East issues) soon joined the list of fundamental concerns (lacklustre earnings growth, elevated valuations and the tapering of quantitative easing) and volatility increased as a result. The index of the top 100 capitalized companies in the UK has lived under the shadow of its mid and small cap relations over the past couple of years as investors have herded towards smaller domestic growth companies. The large, household name, dividend paying blue chip shares that form part of the FTSE 100 now look increasingly good value relative to the rest of the UK market. There were signs that these valuations were starting to be appreciated by investors in April as the FTSE 250 underperformed the FTSE 100 by over 5%. Volatility picked up and equity markets fell from early September onwards, only to recover strongly in the latter part of October. The FTSE 100 suffered a 10% peak to trough decline before rallying back 5% in the second half of the month. The S&P 500 fell 7%, however the US index recovered this and more to end the month back at all time highs, an amazing recovery in such a short space of time. UK financial markets also had to contend with the vote on Scottish independence and the potential fall out from a “Yes” vote. The polls indicated a close run race and this put pressure on Sterling and Gilts, however any market nerves were settled following a 55% majority for the “No” campaign. Confidence returned to equity markets in November as volatility retrenched and the macroeconomic issues of previous months were brushed aside. There is little doubt that sentiment has improved on the back of further central policy as China and Japan both took action. Interest rates were cut in China for the first time since 2012, whilst the Bank of Japan (BOJ) increased its bond buying program to ¥80 trillion per annum. The BOJ also tripled the purchases of exchange traded funds and real estate investment trusts, with the objective of increasing the monetary base to over ¥350 trillion or 75% of GDP. Towards the end of December, central bank rhetoric once again provided a boost to investor sentiment, a theme that has been commonplace throughout 2014. The US Federal Reserve announced that the approach to raising interest rates would be patient and gradual whilst the ECB President, Mario Draghi, continues to hint at the introduction of further monetary stimulus in 2015. Fixed interest markets performed markedly better than consensus expectations indicated at the start of the year. Yields were due to rise on the expectation of an improvement in economic growth and a normalisation of monetary stimulus, although the reverse has happened. 2014 has seen the yield on the 10 year UK Gilt fall from 3.02% to 1.76% as falling inflation, inaction around interest rate policy and continued demand have supported bond markets. Activity/review We have maintained a modest equity underweight throughout 2014 due to our cautious house view. Our UK equity income managers have provided downside protection against the equity market falls witnessed during the period with the Invesco Perpetual UK Strategic Income Fund and the RWC Enhanced Income fund the standout performers in times of stress. During February we added exposure to the defensively positioned RWC Enhanced Income fund and the M&G Strategic Corporate Bond Fund following positive meetings with each of the fund managers. We have sold out of our small position in the Franklin Templeton Global Bond Fund due to increased volatility and a preference for more versatile strategic bond fund holdings. We have also halved our position in HICL Infrastructure as the investment trust is trading on a high premium to net asset value. The infrastructure theme has become a “fans’ favourite” amongst investors and whilst liquidity is not an issue today, it is something that needs to be taken into consideration when assessing the overall risk. We have made decent gains thus far and feel a reduction in exposure is a prudent course of action.
10
INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORTS (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2014 CGWM Select Income Fund (continued) Activity/review (continued) During June we made a number of changes, reducing our holdings in the M&G Strategic Corporate and M&G Inflation Linked bond funds which have performed well. We also sold our position in the New Capital Wealthy Nations Bond Fund, reinvesting the proceeds across the Kames Strategic Bond Fund and the Legal and General Dynamic Bond fund in order to provide more diversification and a lower duration to our bond exposure. We also switched out of the Invesco Perpetual Income fund into the Invesco Perpetual UK Strategic Income fund, both managed by Mark Barnett. Following Neil Woodford’s departure we felt that there was the potential for more AUM outflows from Woodford’s former fund which could be problematic given the weighting to small cap and unlisted companies. The UK Strategic Income fund follows the same investment philosophy and has comparable yield and performance numbers. Our holding in the L&G Dynamic Bond Trust was sold following the departure of Richard Hodges, the lead manager. The proceeds were reinvested into the GLG Strategic Bond Fund. This fund has delivered attractive historic risk adjusted returns and provides low duration exposure to global bond markets with a distribution yield in excess of 4%. We also topped up our position in the Artemis Global Income fund. We continue to maintain a well diversified exposure to bond markets in terms of geography, currency and strategy and favour areas that have stronger balance sheets, provide long term value and where we are compensated with attractive yields. This includes diversified exposure to Government, Corporate, Index Linked, International and Specialist bonds/bond funds. The setback in October removed the overbought nature of the market and enabled us to top up equity exposure and we added 2% to the UK. We had felt for some time that the risk and return trade-off for financial markets had become less favourable and this had prompted a general reduction in risk. Performance in 2014 has been driven by the strong showing from our UK equity income managers who all outperformed the FTSE All Share benchmark. The Invesco UK Strategic Income fund has been the standout, returning 9% in excess of the benchmark. Elsewhere, the Prusik Asian Equity Income fund posted a 24% return whilst the Argonaut European Income and Magna Emerging markets Dividend funds were relatively flat. The global equity exposure was mixed as both Artemis and Newton outperformed the MSCI World, however the M&G Global Dividend fund lagged. Our Gilt exposure performed well on the back of stronger than expected bond markets, together with our core holding in the M&G Strategic Corporate Bond Fund. Strategic bond funds, where we have increased exposure, provided good absolute returns albeit that they lagged the broader market due to the lower duration positioning. Outlook The potential dark clouds for financial markets in 2015 are already beginning to gather. The snap Greek election in January will immediately be at the forefront, especially given that the left-wing Syriza party are comfortably leading the polls. The Ukraine issue has yet to be resolved and the strong Dollar is likely to place increasing strains on other Emerging Market economies given the US Dollar denominated debt burdens. There is also a UK election in May and political uncertainty is likely to put pressure on Sterling and Sterling assets in the first half of 2015. Central bank polic y is also likely to be split as the US and UK looks to normalise policy whilst the ECB and Bank of Japan look to ramp up monetary stimulus. Over the past couple of years the investment world has navigated a landscape of relatively low volatility, however there are signs that this is changing. Volatility always uncovers new opportunities and we will look to capitalise on any attractive openings, although we must be vigilant as many asset classes are leaving little room for disappointment. * Please note – The Fund is not currently included in the peer group mentioned and the performance of the Fund is compared against the peer group as a means of comparison only.

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORTS (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2014 CGWM Select Diversity Fund Fund Performance For the 12 months to 31 December 2014 the Fund gained 5.56%. This compared to a rise of 4.41% for the Fund’s peer group, the Morningstar GIF GBP Moderate Allocation sector. Market Review While volatility had been held in abeyance for much of 2014, the latter part of the year was marked by two separate periods during which financial markets experienced a heightened sense of vulnerability. Growth fears in Europe and emerging markets as well as a plunge in the price of oil and concerns over the path of U.S. and European monetary policy all weighed on sentiment. As a result, there was a wide dispersion between the returns of global equity markets for the year, with the U.S¹ rising 20.1%, Asia² +11.4%, the UK FTSE 100 +1.02%, while Europe³ -0.64%, ended the year in negative territory. All performance numbers are in Sterling terms. U.S. and Asia equities were not the only source of returns in 2014; government bond markets also performed strongly which is something few commentators predicted in January. With deflationary pressures gathering pace in Europe and investors pushing back their expectations for interest rate rises elsewhere in the face of weak global growth, many government bonds markets enjoyed their best year since 2011.

It is pleasing to report that the Fund outpaced its peer group over the course of the year. The Fund’s return was boosted by our overweight allocation to U.S. equities and our thematic holdings in healthcare, infrastructure and technology. Areas of the portfolio that performed less well included our small allocation to European equities, as investors waited in vain for the ECB to react to increasing deflationary pressure in the region by announcing a programme of quantitative easing. However, while our Europe holdings lagged over the course of the year, our decision to lower the Fund’s weighting to the region in the first few months of 2014 and again in September minimised the performance impact. Having reduced the Fund’s equity allocation in the first quarter; lowering weightings to Europe, the UK and Asia, we did not meaningfully add to the Fund’s equity allocation again until the sharp correction in equity markets in the early part of October. This provided us with the opportunity to put some money back to work at more attractive levels and we added to the Fund’s UK equity holdings as a result. In November, we used the relative weakness of European markets to increase the Fund’s allocation to Eurozone stocks back to a neutral position, funded by a reduction in the Fund’s U.S. equity holdings. Investment decisions are often about balancing risk and reward and these metrics appear to increasingly favour Europe over the U.S. moving forward. To be clear, the Fund maintains a significant weighting to U.S. assets and it is glaringly apparent that Europe has many structural issues yet to overcome. However, the relative bear market in Europe will not persist indefinitely and it is rarely the right time to buy when sentiment is universally positive. Finally, there were a number of changes to the Fund’s bond holdings over the course of the year as well, as we reduced the Fund’s UK inflation linked investments, reinvesting the proceeds into the GLG Flexible Bond fund and the iShares USD TIPS UCITS ETF. Outlook There is presently little doubt in our minds that 2015 will bring with it more frequent periods of instability, as the “agein g” bull market becomes slightly more unstable. We do not believe that this constructive chapter for financial markets will end imminently, and remain hopeful that the economic backdrop will continue to support risk assets. However, we are also mindful that the risk-return profile has, at the very least, deteriorated given the significant gains which have been made over the past two to three years. Consequently it is our belief that greater levels of volatility may well accompany rising stockmarkets in the weeks and months ahead and therefore our investment strategy must focus not only on maximising returns, but also on moderating the impact of these movements where we can.

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORTS (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2014 CGWM Select Affinity Fund Fund Performance For the 12 months to 31 December 2014 the Fund gained 5.89%. This compared to a rise of 3.90% for the Fund’s peer group, the Morningstar GIF GBP Aggressive Allocation sector. Market Review While volatility had been held in abeyance for much of 2014, the latter part of the year was marked by two separate periods during which financial markets experienced a heightened sense of vulnerability. Growth fears in Europe and emerging markets as well as a plunge in the price of oil and concerns over the path of U.S. and European monetary policy all weighed on sentiment. As a result, there was a wide dispersion between the returns of global equity markets for the year, with the U.S¹ rising 20.1%, Asia² +11.4%, the UK FTSE 100 +1.02%, while Europe³ -0.64%, ended the year in negative territory.

The Fund’s return was boosted by a number of factors, including our significant allocations to U.S. and Asian equities and our thematic holdings in healthcare, infrastructure and technology. However, our judicious use of cash at certain times in 2014; most notably in January and October and November, also added value. Notable changes to the Fund’s positioning in 2014 included an increased allocation to Asian equities, as we took advantage of improving investor sentiment towards the region. We also significantly reduced the Fund’s European equity allocation during the summer as it became increasingly obvious that the ECB was struggling in its efforts to stem deflationary pressures in Europe, raising the spectre of triple dip recession across the Eurozone. We used the proceeds from this reduction to initiate an allocation to Infrastructure related investments, via the First State & Lazard Global Listed Infrastructure Funds. Linked to this theme, we added the KBI Institutional Water fund to the portfolio in October. While the KBI Institutional Water fund is not a pure infrastructure play, one of the secular attractions of investing in water stocks is the vast sums of money targeted at water infrastructure. Potentially more than half of global infrastructure spend over the next decade will be water related, as developed markets are forced to replace ageing infrastructure whilst many emerging markets are installing new infrastructure for the first time. This, along with companies addressing water scarcity in new and imaginative ways, provides a wealth of investment opportunities for the fund. Finally, we took advantage of a number of short-term investment opportunities in 2014, including a profitable allocation to energy stocks, via the Investec Global Energy fund. Having initiated the Fund’s holding in April, we had fully exited the position by the end of September, thus avoiding the subsequent collapse in the sector in the fourth quarter, as the price of oil tumbled more than 40% in the final few months of 2014. Outlook There is presently little doubt in our minds that 2015 will bring with it more frequent periods of instability, as the “agein g” bull market becomes slightly more unstable.

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORTS (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2014 CGWM REMAP 4 Fund Fund Performance For the 12 months to 31 December 2014 the NAV rose by 6.8% net of all fees and expenses. This underperformed the 7.9% rise of the WMA Income index. The Fund exposed investors to almost half of the volatility of the WMA index. Market Review Apart from the US and Japan, 2014 was a disappointing year for global equities. We commented at the beginning of the year how we believed investors had been willing to take on higher equity risk premium in 2013. Share valuations rose faster than earnings as investors priced in a continuation of the economic recovery. Our fears that markets would struggle to push to new levels in 2014 has borne out as earnings have continued to disappoint, compounded by geopolitical issues such as Middle East, Ukraine, Scotland and Hong Kong. The final quarter for 2014 saw equity volatility return after a prolonged period of relative calm. Equity markets yo-yoed as investors tried to comprehend the strength of the global economic recovery, especially in Europe, the Ebola crisis, a falling oil price, a deteriorating geopolitical outlook and, in the US, the end of quantitative easing. As the MSI turned stressed at the very beginning of February we sold European equities and upped our cash holdings. As our forward-looking measure of portfolio risk rose in January, our mandate to cap volatility necessitated that we took some risk off the table. We reduced holdings in a real estate ETF and as well as oil. The former has been very sensitive to the outlook for monetary policy and we believe it will struggle this year as Quantitative Easing and central bank stimuli are withdrawn. We used recent bond market strength to reduce our fixed income holdings, and reinvested the proceeds into what one might term ‘alternative diversifiers’. The challenge for asset allocators in 2014 is to identify investments that have a low correlation with both bonds and equities – investments that will diversify portfolio risk in all market conditions while also providing a return. To that end we have purchased an ETF that holds a long position in the US Dollar relative to the Canadian Dollar. The final quarter of 2014 was a turbulent period for equity investors as demonstrated by an 8.3% peak to trough movement in the FTSE 100 within November to December. The Fund pleasingly demonstrated its ability to reduce volatility and gave a positive return each month. In October our stress indictor hit 4.5 and remained there throughout the period. The portfolio was rebalanced removing our exposure to Oil, FTSE 250, and reducing our US mid-cap and gilt exposure. We rotated into a Dow Jones tracker and also increased our existing exposure to infrastructure and cash. Outlook Macro backdrop merits continued caution, our market stress indicator currently reads 4.5. We expect volatility to remain prominent throughout 2015. Challenges for 2015 remain in identifying asset classes that produce returns and provide diversity through low correlation in all economic conditions.

Equity markets yo-yoed as investors tried to comprehend the strength of the global economic recovery, especially in Europe, the Ebola crisis, a falling oil price, a deteriorating geopolitical outlook and, in the US, the end of quantitative easing. During the Q1 we also took some steps to increase the aggregate yield of the underlying holdings. In the fixed income space we have tilted our exposure towards higher yield bonds (via the Kames Capital High Yield and Jupiter Strategic Bond funds), and we reduced our holding in the Polar Capital Healthcare fund and initiated a position in the Lazard Global Equity Income fund. Under current accounting rules, when a bond is purchased at a premium to the par value, that premium is amortised through the income, thereby reducing the income available for onward distribution. As such we have sold our direct gilt holdings and now hold exposure via the ishares ETF. Of course all of the changes have been made within the context of our forward-looking, risk-targeted framework. The final quarter of 2014 was a turbulent period for equity investors as demonstrated by an 8.3% peak to trough movement in the FTSE 100 within November to December. The Fund pleasingly demonstrated its ability to reduce volatility and gave a positive return each month over the quarter. In October our stress indictor hit 4.5 and remained there throughout the period. The portfolio was rebalanced removing our exposure to US mid-caps and modestly lowering our gilt exposure.

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORTS (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2014 CGWM Bond Fund Fund Performance The CGWM Bond Fund had a total return for 2014 from the inception of the Fund (from 16 January 2014 to 31 December 2014) of +4.56%. As a comparative, the EFFAS 3-7 Year Gilt index was up +5.36% over the same period. Market Review At the start of 2014 there was a clear consensus that equities would outperform bonds over the course of the year. Whilst we highlighted the potential attraction of US Treasury and UK Gilt yields at c.3%, particularly against a backdrop of falling inflation, the scale of the gains delivered by government bonds in 2014 has clearly been a major surprise. While the US Federal Reserve were true to their word in ending their programme of US Treasury purchases, the liquidity baton was ultimately passed to Japan and Europe, who both increased their own monetary stimulus efforts. The broad outcome has been that virtually all bonds have benefitted, with 10-year US Treasury yields now standing at 2.2%, compared to 1.8% in the UK, 0.6% in Germany and 0.3% in Japan. Activity/review The Fund’s primary objective was clearly achieved with a total return of over +5%, which was ahead of the managers’ expectations where +3% to +4% returns may have been satisfactory when the year commenced. The Fund balances the primary objective of preserving capital while aiming to deliver a 2 ½% to 3% income, and blending the asset mix with the opportunity to make capital gains. A high quality backbone of circa 40-50% AAA/AA bonds is generally maintained, with the balance invested in direct corporate bonds (up to 50%) and higher risk specialist funds (up to 30%). The Fund has a yield-to-maturity of 3.55%, which continues to offer a suitable low risk opportunity for enhanced returns versus cash. Outlook There is presently little doubt in our minds that 2015 will bring with it more frequent periods of instability and market volatility, as the ‘ageing’ equity bull market becomes slightly more unstable. We do not believe that this constructive chapter for financial markets will end imminently, and expect the economic backdrop will continue to support a broad spread of assets. However, we are also mindful that the risk-return profile has, at the very least, deteriorated given the significant gains which have been made over the past two to three years. Bond yields are implying that significant interest rate hikes are unlikely in 2015 but with valuations appearing extended, prices could be vulnerable, particularly if economic growth continues to firm and/or inflationary pressures begin to build. We are therefore mindful of preserving capital and diversifying our approach as far as possible. Canaccord Genuity Wealth (International) Limited January 2015

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CANACCORD GENUITY INVESTMENT FUNDS PLC We have audited the financial statements of Canaccord Genuity Investment Funds plc (the “Company”) for the year ended 31 December 2014 which comprise the Balance Sheet, the Income Statement, the Statement of Changes in Net Assets attributable to Holders of Redeemable Shares, the Investment Portfolios and the related notes 1 to 18. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is Irish law and accounting standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council and promulgated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland). This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Section 193 of the Companies Act, 1990. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Respective Responsibilities of Directors and Auditors As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements giving a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with Irish law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. Scope of the Audit of the Financial Statements An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2014 to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect, based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. Opinion In our opinion the financial statements: x give a true and fair view, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland, of the state of the affairs of the Company as at 31 December 2014 and of the profit for the year then ended; and x have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013, and the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011. Matters on which we are required to report by the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013 x We have obtained all the information and explanations we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit. x In our opinion proper books of account have been kept by the Company. x The Company’s Balance Sheet and its Income Statement are in agreement with the books of account. x In our opinion the information given in the Directors' Report is consistent with the financial statements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the provisions in the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013 which requires us to report to you if, in our opinion, the disclosures of directors’ remuneration and transactions specified by law are not made.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are as follows: Basis of Preparation The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, adjusted to take account of the revaluation of investments to fair value, and in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland and Irish Statute comprising the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013 and the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011. Accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland in preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view are those published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland and issued by the Financial Reporting Council. The presentation currency of the Company is Sterling, which is denoted by the symbol GBP. In arriving at the results for the year, all amounts in the Income Statement on pages 28 and 29 relate to continuing activities. The format and certain wording of the financial statements have been adapted from those contained in the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1986, so that, in the opinion of the Directors they more appropriately reflect the nature of the Company’s business as an investment fund. Cash Flow Statement The Company has availed of the exemption available to open-ended investment funds under FRS 1 not to prepare a cash flow statement. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward rate at the closing date through the residual term of the contracts. Realised and unrealised gains and losses resulting from forward foreign currency contracts are recognised in the Income Statement. Futures Contracts The value of futures contracts traded on an exchange are valued at the latest closing prices as published by the relevant exchange or clearing house. Where any such instruments are traded over the counter they shall be valued by reference to the values provided by the counterparties or in such other manner as may be determined by the Directors to reflect the true value thereof.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income Investment income is reported gross of irrecoverable withholding tax. Dividends are recognised as income on the dates the securities are first quoted “ex-dividend”. In certain situations dividends are accounted for on a cash receipts basis where this is more appropriate. Bond interest is accounted for on an effective interest basis. Deposit interest and other income are accounted for on an accruals basis. Operating Expenses The Company is responsible for all normal operating expenses including audit fees, stamp and other duties and charges incurred on the acquisition and realisation of investments. Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (a) Classification In accordance with FRS 29 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, all investments are classified as financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. This category has two sub-categories: financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading; and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. (i) Financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading Financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading are those acquired or incurred principally for the purposes of selling or repurchasing in the short term, or if on initial recognition are part of a portfolio of identifiable financial investments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking. Derivatives are categorised as held for trading. (ii) Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception The Company classifies its investments in equity securities, bonds and collective investment schemes, as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss at inception. Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception are those that are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Company’s documented investment strategy. The Company’s policy is for the Investment Managers and the Board of Directors to evaluate the information about these financial assets on a fair value basis together with other related financial information. (b) Recognition/derecognition Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date – the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the investment. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. (c) Measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. After initial measurement the Company measures financial instruments which are classified as at fair value through profit or loss at fair value. Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market prices on a recognised exchange or sourced from a reputable broker/counterparty in the case of nonexchange traded instruments, at the balance sheet date without any deduction for estimated future selling costs. Financial assets are priced at their current bid prices, while financial liabilities are priced at their current offer prices. If a quoted market price is not available on a recognised stock exchange or from a broker/counterparty, the fair value of the financial instruments may be estimated by a competent person using valuation techniques, including use of recent arm's length market transactions and reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow techniques, option pricing models or any other valuation technique that provides a reliable estimate of prices obtained in actual market transactions. Subsequent changes in the fair value of financial instruments are recorded in “Net realised and unrealised gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss”.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (continued) (c)
Measurement (continued)
The Company invests in both exchange traded and non exchange traded collective investment schemes. The quoted market price used for exchange traded collective investments schemes is the current bid price. For non exchange traded collective investment schemes, the fair value of the investments in collective investment schemes is valued based on the latest available published unaudited net asset value. The net asset values at 31 December 2014 of the collective investment schemes may subsequently be adjusted when audited Financial Statements for the collective investment schemes become available. The Board of Directors will consider from time to time other factors that may have an impact on the Net Asset Value per share of the collective investment schemes and may consider adjusting its price to reflect a more appropriate fair value of a collective investment scheme. FRS 29 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” (“FRS 29”) established a fair value hierarchy for the inputs used in valuation models and techniques used to measure fair value. Asset and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into one of the following categories: x
Level I – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The type of investment which would generally be included would include equities, certain collective investment schemes and derivatives listed on a securities exchange.
x
Level II – Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly (including quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, interest rates and yield curves, credit risk, etc.). The type of investments which would generally be included in this category would include corporate bonds, certain collective investment schemes, bank debt and certain over-the-counter derivatives.

Level III – Price or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (including the Investment Managers own assumptions and assumptions used by the Board of Directors about what market participants would use in determining the fair value of investments). The type of investments which would generally be included in this category would include private or debt securities issued by private entities. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
Functional currency Items included in the Company’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the ‘functional currency’). The functional currency for each Fund is Sterling with the exception of CGWM Select Global Diversity Fund, CGWM Select Global Affinity Fund and CGWM Select Global Opportunity Fund where the functional currency is the US Dollar. To calculate the total Company figures, US Dollar assets and liabilities in the financial statements have been translated to Sterling at the average rate of exchange for the year ended 31 December 2014 on the Income Statement and at the year end rate on the Balance Sheet. The notional exchange adjustment arising from the translation of the opening net assets is shown in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares. The method of translation has no effect on the Net Asset Value per share attributable to the individual Funds. Foreign Currencies Transactions which occurred during the period are translated into the functional currency of the Fund at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into the Fund’s functional currency at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Resulting gains or losses are reported in the Income Statement. Cash Cash includes cash in hand, broker cash and deposits held at call with banks and bank overdrafts. Transaction Costs Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or liability. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the entity had not acquired, issued or disposed of the financial instrument. When a financial asset or liability is recognised initially, an entity shall measure it at its fair value through profit or loss plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or liability. Transaction costs on the purchase and sale of bonds, forwards, swaps and futures are included in the purchase and sale price of the investment. Transaction costs shown separately on the Income Statement comprise of fees and agent charges by the custodian or any sub-custodian.

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (continued) (c)
Measurement (continued)
Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset when a current legal right of offset exists and there is intent to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously or on a net basis. Income Equalisation Income equalisation is a process by which accrued income included in the price of shares purchased and redeemed during the accounting year is reported to Shareholders. The subscription price of Shares is deemed to include an equalisation payment calculated by reference to the accrued income of the relevant Fund and the first distribution in respect of any Share will include a payment of income usually equal to or greater than the amount of such equalisation payment. The redemption price of each Share will also include an equalisation payment in respect of the accrued income of the relevant Fund up to the date of redemption. Income equalisation is classified as finance costs in the Profit and Loss Account. Redeemable Participating Shares Redeemable participating shares are redeemable at the shareholder’s option and are classified as financial liabilities. The income distributed on these shares is recognised in the Income Statement as a finance cost. Net asset value per redeemable participating share The net asset value per redeemable participating share disclosed on the face of the Balance Sheet is calculated in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Prospectus by dividing the net assets included in the Balance Sheet, by the number of redeemable participating shares outstanding at year end. Distributions For CGWM Select Affinity Fund, CGWM Select Global Affinity Fund, CGWM Select Opportunity Fund and CGWM Select Global Opportunity Fund, it is the intention of the Directors to distribute income on an annual basis. Distributions will be declared based on the NAV of the last business day of December. Distributions will be paid within one month of the declaration date. To date, none of the aforementioned funds have made any distributions. For the CGWM Total Return Bond Fund, CGWM Select Diversity Fund, CGWM Select Global Diversity Fund, CGWM REMAP 4 Fund, CGWM REMAP 4(i) Fund and CGWM REMAP 5 Fund, the Directors have discretion to distribute any income on a semi-annual basis. Distributions will be declared on the last Business Day in June and December each year. Distributions will be paid within one month of the declaration date. CGWM Select Global Diversity Fund did not make any distributions in the current year. For CGWM Select Income Fund and CGWM Bond Fund, it is the intention of the Directors to distribute income on a quarterly basis. Distributions will be declared in March, June, September and December of each year and paid within one month of the declaration date. The United Kingdom HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) has confirmed that the Company and each of its Funds is in the UK Reporting Fund Regime from 1 January 2011 onwards. All required submissions for Reporting Status for the year ended 31 December 2014 will be made within the required timeframe. Rebate from underlying Collective Investment Schemes The Investment Managers have entered into a number of arrangements with the investment managers of the Collective Investment Schemes where the relevant Funds receive a rebate of some of the management fees charged in the Collective Investment Schemes. This rebate is received by the Investment Managers monthly, quarterly or on a yearly basis depending on the arrangement that is in place and is paid across to the Funds periodically throughout the year. In the year ended 31 December 2014, the Funds received a total rebate of GBP29,952 (2013: GBP27,275). Rebate on Transaction Charge In the prior year ended 31 December 2013, there was a repayment of overcharged transaction fees of GBP47,679 made by the Custodian in relation to the administration involved in processing invoice payments incurred between 2008 and 2013.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Global Exposure For the CGWM Total Return Bond Fund and the CGWM Bond Fund, the method used to calculate global exposure is the commitment approach. For all other Funds, with the exception of immaterial foreign currency exchange contracts, no financial derivative instruments are used and therefore there is no global exposure to note. Strategy in Using Financial Instruments The Funds are indirectly exposed to the inherent risks by virtue of the Funds investments in underlying collective investment schemes. The Funds are exposed to a variety of financial risks in pursuing their stated investment objective and policy. These risks include market risk (which in turn includes but not limited to, currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Funds take exposure to a certain amount of these risks to generate investment returns on a portfolio, although these risks can also potentially result in a reduction in a Fund’s net assets. Each Investment Manager uses their best endeavours to minimise the potentially adverse effects of these risks to a Fund’s performance where they can do so while still managing the investments of each Fund in a way that is consistent with each Fund’s investment objective and policy. The risks, and the measures adopted by the Funds for managing these risks, are detailed below. Market Price Risk Market price risk is defined in FRS 29 as the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument or its future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The values of certain securities held by the Funds are determined by market forces and there is accordingly a risk that market prices can change in a way that is adverse to a Fund’s performance. The Funds have adopted a number of investment restrictions which are set out in the prospectus which limit the exposure of the Fund to adverse changes in the price of any individual financial asset. In accordance with the Funds’ policies, the Investment Managers monitor the Funds’ positions on a daily basis and report regularly to the Board of Directors. For the purposes of valuing underlying collective investment schemes, the Funds do not independently calculate these prices but rely on third party pricing sources. The maximum risk arising from an investment in a financial instrument is determined by the fair value of the financial instruments, except for short positions in derivatives and securities where the loss may potentially be unlimited.

At 31 December 2014, the Funds’ market price risk was affected by three main components: changes in market prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates. FRS 29 requires a sensitivity analysis showing how the net asset value of each Fund would be affected by changes in each of these factors. If the price of each of the Collective Investment Schemes to which the Funds have exposure at 31 December 2014 had increased or decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, this would have increased or decreased net assets attributable to holders of redeemable participating shares and the change in net assets from operations for the year of the Funds by: CGWM CGWM CGWM CGWM CGWM CGWM Select Select CGWM Select Select Select Select Global Global Select Global Income Diversity Affinity Diversity Affinity Opportunity Opportunity Fund Fund Fund Fund Fund Fund Fund 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 GBP GBP GBP USD USD GBP USD 31 December 2014

The remaining Funds have no exposure to Collective Investment Schemes at 31 December 2014 and 2013. Currency Risk Currency risk is defined in FRS 29 as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Funds are exposed to currency risk as assets and liabilities of a Fund may be denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Fund. Monetary assets include cash with non-monetary assets being all remaining assets. The currency risk exposure of the Funds, net of hedging at 31 December 2014 and at 31 December 2013 is detailed in the table below. The CGWM Select Income Fund, CGWM REMAP 4 Fund, CGWM REMAP 4(i) Fund and the CGWM REMAP 5 Fund were not exposed to currency risk at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013.

The fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the currency in which the asset or liability is denominated and the functional currency could result in an appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of that asset. The Investment Managers may attempt to mitigate this risk by using financial derivative instruments. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, the Investment Managers monitor currency exposures and report regularly to the Board of Directors. If the exchange rate of each of the currencies to which the Funds had exposure at 31 December 2014 and at 31 December 2013 had increased by 1% with all other variables held constant, this would have increased net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares as follows:

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Cybersecurity Risk Cybersecurity breaches may occur allowing an unauthorized party to gain access to assets of the Funds, Shareholder data, or proprietary information, or may cause the Company, the Investment Managers, the Distributor, the Administrator or the Custodian to suffer data corruption or lose operational functionality. The Funds may be affected by intentional cybersecurity breaches which include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices (such as through “hacking” activity); infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. In addition, unintentional incidents can occur, such as the inadvertent release of confidential information (possibly resulting in the violation of applicable privacy laws). A cybersecurity breach could result in the loss or theft of Shareholder data or funds, the inability to access electronic systems, loss or theft of proprietary information or corporate data, physical damage to a computer or network system, or costs associated with system repairs. Such incidents could cause the Company, the Investment Managers, the Distributor, the Administrator, the Custodian, or other service providers to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs, or financial loss. Consequently, Shareholders may lose some or all of their invested capital. In addition, such incidents could affect issuers in which a Fund invests, and thereby cause a Fund’s investments to lose value, as a result of which investors, including the relevant Fund and its Shareholders, could potentially lose all or a portion of their investment with that issuer. Credit Risk, Custody and Title Risk Credit risk is defined in FRS 29 as the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The CGWM Total Return Bond Fund, CGWM Select Income Fund, CGWM Select Diversity Fund, CGWM Select Affinity Fund, CGWM Select Global Diversity Fund, CGWM Select Global Affinity Fund, CGWM Select Opportunity Fund, CGWM Select Global Opportunity Fund, CGWM REMAP 4 Fund, CGWM REMAP 4(i) Fund and the CGWM Bond Fund have credit risk exposure to issuers of debt securities held as part of the Funds’ investment Portfolio. The CGWM Total Return Bond Fund, CGWM Select Income Fund, CGWM Select Diversity Fund, CGWM Select Affinity Fund, CGWM Select Global Diversity Fund, CGWM Select Global Affinity Fund, CGWM Select Opportunity Fund, CGWM Select Global Opportunity Fund, also have credit risk exposure to counterparties of derivative contracts entered into by each of these Funds. With the exception of the CGWM Total Return Bond Fund and the CGWM Bond Fund, all other Funds in the Company invest predominantly or exclusively in collective investment schemes, and thus their credit risk is reduced. Each Fund limits its exposure to individual issuers of debt securities and counterparties to Over the Counter (OTC) derivatives in accordance with the investment restrictions set out in the Company’s prospectus. Transactions in securities are generally settled or paid for on delivery, or cleared through the appropriate clearing system for the market on which the securities are traded. The risk of default is not considered to be material, as delivery of securities sold is only made once the Fund’s custodian has received confirmation of payment. Payment is also only made o n a purchase once confirmation of delivery of the securities has been received by the custodian. The trade will fail if either party fails to deliver the required confirmations. The Custodian to the Company is Northern Trust Fiduciary Services (Ireland) Limited (“NTFSIL”). NTFSIL has appointed Northern Trust Company, London Branch (NTC) as its Global Sub-Custodian for all the assets of the Funds. Substantially all of the cash assets are held with the NTC. Cash deposited with NTC is deposited as banker and is held on its Balance Sheet. Accordingly, in accordance with usual banking practice, NTC liability to the Fund in respect of such cash deposits shall be that of debtor and the Fund will rank as a general creditor of NTC. The financial assets are held with the Custodian, NTFSIL. These assets are held distinct and separately from the proprietary assets of the Custodian. Securities are clearly recorded to ensure they are held on behalf of the Fund. Bankruptcy or insolvency of the Custodian and or one of its agents or affiliates may cause the Fund’s rights with respect to the securities held by the Custodian to be delayed. Both NTFSIL and the NTC are wholly owned subsidiaries of Northern Trust Corporation. As at 31 December 2014, Northern Trust Corporation had a long term rating from Standard & Poor’s of A+ (2013: A+). The credit quality of the Custodian is monitored by the Company. Northern Trust acts as its own sub-custodian in the U.S., the U.K., Ireland and Canada. In all other markets Northern Trust appoints a local sub-custodian. Northern Trust continually reviews its sub-custodian network to ensure clients have access to the most efficient, creditworthy and cost-effective provider in each market.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Credit Risk, Custody and Title Risk (continued) The Custodian is under a duty to take into custody and to hold the property of each sub-fund of the Company on behalf of its shareholders. The Central Bank of Ireland requires the Custodian to hold legally separate the non-cash assets of each sub-fund and to maintain sufficient records to clearly identify the nature and amount of all assets that it holds, the ownership of each asset and where the documents of title to such assets are physically located. When the Custodian employs a sub-custodian the Custodian retains responsibility for the assets of the sub-fund. However, it should be noted that not all jurisdictions have the same rules and regulations as Ireland regarding the custody of assets and the recognition of the interests of a beneficial owner such as a sub-fund. Therefore, in such jurisdictions, there is a risk that if a sub-custodian becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the sub-fund’s beneficial ownership of the assets held by such sub-custodian may not be recognised and consequently the creditors of the sub-custodian may seek to have recourse to the assets of the sub-fund. In those jurisdictions where the sub-fund’s beneficial ownership of its assets is ultimately recognised, the sub-fund may suffer delay and cost in recovering those assets. The Funds may invest in markets where custodial and/or settlement systems are not fully developed, the assets of a Fund which are traded in such markets and which have been entrusted to sub-custodians, in circumstances where the use of such sub-custodians is necessary, may be exposed to risk in circumstances whereby the Custodian will have no liability. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, the Investment Managers monitor the Funds’ credit exposures and reports regularly to the Board of Directors. At 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013, the Funds’ exposure to credit risk was as follows:

The Funds are exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable shares. The Funds invest the majority of their assets in securities and other instruments that are traded on an active market and which are considered to be liquid as they can be readily disposed of in the event that cash needs to be raised to meet redemptions or to pay expenses. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, the Investment Managers monitor liquidity on a daily basis and report regularly to the Board of Directors. At 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013, the Company’s financial liabilities were all due within one month.

NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE
The Net Asset Value per share at the year end date is determined by dividing the value of the Net Assets of the Fund by the number of Participating Shares in issue. The Net Asset Value per Share is calculated using valuation principles which differ slightly from those used in preparing these financial statements. These differences relate to accounting treatments required with respect to the use of bid prices (FRS 26) for financial statement purposes. This adjustment is relevant in the current year to the CGWM Total Return Bond Fund and CGWM Bond Fund. This adjustment was relevant in the prior period to the CGWM Total Return Bond Fund only.
