INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Financial Market Review
The global macroeconomic backdrop strengthened early in 2023 and contributed to a strong start for
global equity markets in January, largely in response to China’s economic reopening and lower
natural gas prices in Europe. In March, financial markets experienced a significant shock when a
confluence of factors led to a bank run across US regional banks that ultimately resulted in the
second- and third-largest US bank failures in history. Despite support from federal regulators, the
turbulence spilled over into Europe with the collapse of Switzerland’s Credit Suisse, a systematically
important financial institution that was ultimately merged with its largest domestic peer, UBS.
Inflation has remained higher than expected which has resulted in further interest rate hikes by central
banks in developed markets. Overall, despite recession fears, economic activity and corporate
earnings have proved more resilient against higher interest rates. In the second quarter, investor
sentiment improved in response to multiple factors, including the resolution of the US debt ceiling
discussions, as well as growing enthusiasm regarding artificial intelligence (AI) that helped to bolster
the outlook for the technology sector.
Early in the third quarter, widespread expectations for a soft landing were supported by resilient
economic activity and slowing inflation. As the quarter progressed, however, the increased likelihood
that interest rates could remain elevated for a prolonged period of time negatively impacted market
sentiment. Robust North American economic releases suggested the economy might be able to
withstand higher interest rates, while monetary policymakers maintained a somewhat aggressive
stance on interest rates. This caused a spike in bond yields, which reached new highs for this
economic cycle near the end of September. Equity markets, which had been relatively stable over the
summer months, declined in the final weeks of the quarter, and posted negative returns over the
period. Oil production cuts led to a surge in crude oil prices, which also heightened concern about
higher inflation.
US economic releases pointed to strength early in the fourth quarter, which fuelled concern about
further interest rate increases. In November, however, the market narrative shifted in response to
signs of a slowing economy and data showing the potential for a return to a broader disinflationary
trend. This rejuvenated the “soft landing” theme, where inflation and economic growth slow but
avoid a recession, which would allow monetary policymakers to shift away from their tightening
measures. This notion gained further momentum when the US Federal Reserve (Fed) pivoted toward
a more “dovish” stance, meaning the potential for interest rate reductions, even as US economic
indicators remained largely resilient. Bond yields initially spiked, particularly in the US and equity
markets were relatively weak through October. There was a sharp turnaround in November and
December, however, with plunging bond yields and surging stock prices resulting in a strong quarter
for both bond and equity markets. Despite the announcement of additional production cuts by major
producers, crude oil did not participate in the year-end rally, as there was some market concern about
the sustainability and consistency of these cuts.

Market Review
Market leadership sharply contrasted that of 2022, with 9 out of the 11 GICs sectors reversing their
2022 market-relative performance in 2023.
Most factor groups in our investment model were well-rewarded in 2024. Despite the dramatic shift
in market themes in the latter part of the year, and the accompanying underperformance of industry
trend-based factors, our Growth composite performed well due to the robustness of stock-specific
growth metrics. Our Quality composite had an exceptional year of performance as investors
continued to favour companies generating sustainable earnings and deploying capital in an efficient
manner. Opportunity measures generally performed at or above long-term expectations.
Portfolio Performance
Outlook & Strategy
Going into 2024, the overall level of investment opportunity across our model (as measured by the
dispersion of return forecasts) as well as levels of forecast risk remain stable and close to their long-
term average levels.

DIRECTORS REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
5
The Directors present their report for Connor, Clark & Lunn UCITS ICAV (the “ICAV”) and audited
financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2023.
Principal activities, business review & future prospects
The ICAV was incorporated as an Irish collective asset-management vehicle constituted as an
umbrella fund with segregated liability between sub-funds with registration number C400076 and
authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”) pursuant to the European
Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011
(as amended) (the “UCITS Regulations”) and the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act
2013 (Section 48 (1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities)
Regulation 2015, as amended (the Central Bank UCITS Regulations).
As at the date of this report the ICAV comprised of two Sub-Funds one active Sub-Fund CC&L Q
Emerging Markets Equity UCITS Fund (the “EME Sub-Fund”) and one unlaunched Sub-Fund
CC&L Q Global Equity Market Neutral UCITS Fund together, (the “Sub-Funds”).
The ICAV is organised in the form of an umbrella fund with segregated liability between Sub-Funds.
The Instrument of Incorporation provides that the ICAV may offer separate Sub-Funds. Each Sub-
Fund will have a distinct portfolio of investments. The ICAV has obtained the approval of the Central
Bank for the establishment of the Sub-Fund set out below. Information specific to a Sub-Fund will
be set out in a separate Supplement to the Prospectus.
The investment objective of CC&L Q Emerging Markets Equity UCITS Fund is to seek long-term
growth of capital relative to emerging market equity indices by structuring and maintaining a
diversified portfolio of primarily emerging market equity securities and the investment objective of
CC&L Q Global Equity Market Neutral UCITS Fund is to generate returns that have a low correlation
with global equity markets and to maximise long-term total return.
A detailed business review is outlined in the Investment Manager’s Report on pages 3 to 5.
Principal risks and uncertainties
Investment in the ICAV carries with it a degree of risk including, but not limited to, the risks referred
to in the prospectus of the ICAV dated 9 April 2020 (the “Prospectus”). Details of the risks associated
with financial instruments are included in Note 7 to the financial statements.
Results and dividends
The results for the financial year are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on page 16.
The Board of Directors may declare at its discretion, dividends in respect of each distribution share
class of each Sub-Fund. For the year ended 31 December 2023, the ICAV paid dividends to the
shareholders in the EUR A distributing class.
Future Developments
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The ICAV will continue to act as an investment vehicle as set out in its Prospectus. A review and
outlook of the Sub-Funds is included in the Investment Manager's Report.
Directors
The Directors of the ICAV who served during the year, and up to the date the financial statements
were signed, were as follows:

Directors’ and ICAV Secretary’s interests
None of the Directors nor the ICAV Secretary or their respective families held any interest, beneficial
or otherwise, in the share capital of the ICAV during or at the end of the financial year.
The Board of Directors are not aware of any contracts or arrangements of any significance in relation
to the business of the ICAV in which the Directors had any interest at any time during the year ended
31 December 2023.
Accounting Records
The measures taken by the Directors to secure compliance with the ICAV’s obligation to keep
adequate accounting records are the use of appropriate systems and procedures and the employment
of competent service providers. The accounting records are kept at HSBC Securities Services
(Ireland) DAC, 1 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Political donations
There were no political donations made by the ICAV or the Investment Manager from the Sub-Fund
during the financial year.
Significant events during the financial year
The armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine continued throughout 2023. In the prior period, the
Board had authorized the write down to zero of all the local RUB denominated Russian equities held
in the amount of USD1,161,258. Based on continued market circumstances, these positions were
valued at zero throughout 2023. The Fund has had no exposure to securities directly exposed to
Ukraine.
The ICAV has exposure to the banking sector. In certain cases, government agencies have assumed
control or otherwise intervened in the operations of certain banks due to liquidity and solvency
concerns. The extent of the situation remains uncertain and, as such, the Investment Manager
continues to assess risks across the broader financial sector and will take potential actions, as deemed
necessary. The ultimate resolution of these liquidity and solvency concerns and the extent of the
related impact to the ICAV is uncertain and could be significant.
The new distributing share class, Class A Distributing EUR Shares, was launched in April 2023,
There were no other material significant events that have occurred in respect of the ICAV during the
financial year end.
Events since the financial year end
A distribution of USD 491,916 was made on 24 January 2024 from the EUR A distributing class.
On 21 March 2024, two additional Sub-Funds, CC&L Q Global Small Cap Equity UCITS Fund and
CC&L Q Global Equity UCITS Fund, were authorized by the Central Bank of Ireland as a result of
filing Supplements for each respective Sub-Fund along with a revised Prospectus for the ICAV.
There were no other material significant events that have occurred in respect of the ICAV subsequent
to the financial year end.
Principal material changes
There have been no material changes in the objectives and strategies of the ICAV since inception.
Independent auditors
In accordance with Section 125 of the Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicles Act 2015 (the
“ICAV Act”), the Directors have appointed KPMG, Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditors,
as the ICAV’s auditor and have indicated their willingness to continue in office.

UCITS ICAV: STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF
THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’ Report and financial statements, in
accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicles Acts 2015 and 2020 requires the directors to
prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they have elected to prepare the
financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as
adopted by the EU and applicable law.
The financial statements are required to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial
position of the ICAV at the end of the financial year and of the increase in net assets attributable to
holders of redeemable participating shares in the ICAV for the financial year. In preparing these
financial statements, the directors are required to:
• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
• assess the ICAV’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern; and
use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the ICAV or to cease
operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the assets, liabilities, financial position and changes in net assets
attributable to holders of redeemable participating shares in the ICAV and enable them to ensure that
the financial statements comply with the Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicles Acts 2015 and
2020 and the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings
for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2019. They have general
responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the
ICAV. In this regard they have entrusted the assets of the ICAV to a depositary for safe-keeping.
They are responsible for such internal controls as they determine is necessary to enable the
preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. The directors are also responsible for
preparing a Directors’ Report that complies with the requirements of the Irish Collective Asset-
management Vehicles Acts 2015 and 2020.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial
information included on the ICAV’s website. Legislation in the Republic of Ireland governing the
preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other
jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CONNOR, CLARK & LUNN
UCITS ICAV
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Connor, Clark
& Lunn UCITS ICAV (‘the ICAV’) for the
year ended December 31, 2023 set out on pages 13 to 48, which comprise the Statement of Financial
Position, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Net Assets attributable to
Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares, Statement of Cash Flows and related notes, including
the summary of significant accounting policies set out in note 2.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is Irish Law and
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.
In our opinion:
-
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of
the ICAV as at December 31, 2023 and of its increase in net assets attributable to holders of
redeemable participating shares for the year then ended;
-
the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the
European Union; and
-
the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicles Acts 2015 to 2021 and the Central Bank (Supervision
and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in
Transferable Securities) Regulations 2019.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Ireland) (ISAs
(Ireland)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are
independent of the ICAV in accordance with ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of
financial statements in Ireland, including the Ethical Standard issued by the Irish Auditing and
Accounting Supervisory Authority (IAASA), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern
basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to
events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the ICAV’s ability to
continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial
statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are
described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information presented in the Annual Report together with
the financial statements. The other information comprises the information included in the Directory,
Investment Manager’s report, Director’s report, Annual Depositary Report to the Shareholders,
Schedule of Investments and the Unaudited Appendices. The financial statements and our auditor’s
report thereon do not comprise part of the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements
does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express
an audit opinion or, except
as explicitly stated below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our
financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the
financial statements or our audit knowledge. Based solely on that work undertaken during the course
of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the other information.
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicles Acts
2015 to 2021
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
The Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicles Acts 2015 to 2021 requires us to report to you, if in
our opinion, the disclosures of Directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made. We have
nothing to report in this regard.
Respective responsibilities and restrictions on use
Responsibilities of directors for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 8, the directors are
responsible for: the preparation of the financial statements including being satisfied that they give a
true and fair view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;
assessing the ICAV’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern; and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to
liquidate the ICAV or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives 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 an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (Ireland) 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 reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on IAASA’s website at
https://iaasa.ie/publications/description-of-the-auditors-responsibilities-for-the-audit-of-the-financial-
statements/.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
23
1. General information
Connor, Clark & Lunn UCITS ICAV (the “ICAV”) was registered in Ireland pursuant to the Irish
Collective Asset-Management Vehicles Act 2015 on 7 October 2019 under registration number
C400076. The ICAV has been authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”) as an
“Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities” (“UCITS”) under the European
Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011
(as amended) (“UCITS Regulations”) and has been established as an Irish collective asset-management
vehicle constituted as an umbrella fund with segregated liability between Funds and will comply with
the Central Bank UCITS Regulations.
As at the date of this report, the ICAV comprised of two Sub-Funds one active Sub-Fund CC&L Q
Emerging Markets Equity UCITS Fund (the EME Sub-Fund”) and one inactive Sub-Fund CC&L Q
Global Equity Market Neutral UCITS Fund together, (the “Sub-Funds”). The Sub-Funds were
authorised as a UCITS by the Central Bank under the UCITS Regulations on 9 April 2020. The
investment objective of CC&L Q Emerging Markets Equity UCITS Fund is to seek long-term growth
of capital relative to emerging market equity indices by structuring and maintaining a diversified
portfolio of primarily emerging market equity securities. The Investment objective of CC&L Q Global
Equity Market Neutral UCITS Fund is to generate returns that have a low correlation with global equity
markets and to maximise long-term total return.
CC&L Q Global Equity Market Neutral UCITS Fund was not launched during the year.
The ICAV has appointed Carne Global Fund Managers (Ireland) Limited (the “Manager”) as Manager
of the ICAV pursuant to the Management agreement. Connor, Clark & Lunn Investment Management
Ltd. (the “Investment Manager”) was appointed as the Investment Manager of the ICAV providing
discretionary investment management and advisory services in relation to the ICAV. Connor, Clark &
Lunn UK Limited is the promoter of the ICAV. Connor, Clark & Lunn UK Limited’s principal business
and occupation is to provide distribution services to clients.
2. Material Accounting Policies
The material accounting policies adopted by the ICAV in the preparation of these financial statements
are set out below. The Company adopted 'Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1
and IFRS Practice Statement 2)’ from 1 January 2023. The amendments require the disclosure of
'material' rather than 'significant' accounting policies. The amendments did not result in any changes in
accounting policies themselves
(a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted for use in the European Union, Irish statute comprising the ICAV Act
2015 and the Central Bank UCITS Regulations.
(b) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, applying the historical cost
convention, except for the financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

CONNOR, CLARK & LUNN UCITS ICAV
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

2. Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(c) Judgements
(i) Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors have made an
assessment of the ICAV’s ability to continue as a going concern and are satisfied that the ICAV has
the resources to continue for the foreseeable future.
(ii) Functional and presentation currency
The Board of Directors considers the US Dollar the currency that most faithfully represents the
economic effect of the underlying transactions, events and conditions. The US Dollar is the currency
in which the ICAV measures its performance and reports its results, as well as the currency in which it
principally receives subscriptions and redemptions from its investors. The ICAV has also adopted the
US Dollar as its presentation currency.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, income and expense. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on
historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. If in the future such estimates and
assumptions, which are based on management's best judgement at the date of the financial statements
deviate from the actual outcome, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate
in the financial year in which the circumstances change.
(d) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
New standards, amendments and interpretations effective from 1 January 2023.

2. Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (continued)
New standards, amendments and interpretations effective for future reporting financial periods
that have not been early adopted
A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2023 and earlier
application is permitted, however the ICAV has not adopted the new or amended standards early in
preparing these Financial Statements.
The following amended standards and interpretations are not expected to have a significant impact on
the ICAV's Financial Statements:
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current - Amendments to IAS 1 - effective 1 January
2024;
Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments
to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 - no effective date yet.
(e) Financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss
(i) Classification
In accordance with IFRS 9, the ICAV classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities at initial
recognition into the categories of financial assets and financial liabilities discussed below.
In applying that classification, a financial asset or financial liability is considered to be held for trading
if:
a) It is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term;
b) On initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed
together and for which, there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
c) It is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and
effective hedging instrument).
Financial assets
The ICAV classifies its financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost or measured at fair
value through profit or loss on the basis of both:
• The entity’s business model for managing the financial assets
• The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset

2. Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(e) Financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss (continued)
(i) Classification (continued)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss if:
(a) Its contractual terms do not give rise to cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments of
principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding; or
(b) It is not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or
to both collect contractual cash flows and sell; or
At initial recognition, it is irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss when
doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would
otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on
different bases. The Fund classifies its investments based on both Fund’s business model for managing
those financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The portfolio
of financial assets is managed and performance is evaluated on a fair value basis. The Fund is primarily
focused on fair value information and uses that information to assess the assets’ performance and to
make decisions. All investments are measured and evaluated by the Investment Manager on a fair value
basis. The fair value of investments is examined on a regular basis.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit or loss if it meets the definition of held for
trading. The ICAV includes in this category derivative contracts in a liability position and investments
in securities sold short since they are classified as held for trading.
Financial assets at amortised cost
Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost. The ICAV includes in this category cash and
cash equivalents, amounts due from brokers and other short-term receivables.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
This category includes all financial liabilities, other than those measured at fair value through profit or
loss. The ICAV includes in this category bank overdraft, amounts due to brokers and other short-term
payables.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

2. Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(e) Financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss (continued)
(ii) Recognition
The ICAV recognises a financial asset or a financial liability when, and only when, it becomes a party
to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally
established by regulation or convention in the marketplace are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the
date that the ICAV commits to purchase or sell the asset.
(iii) Subsequent measurement
After initial measurement, the ICAV measures financial instruments which are classified as at fair value
through profit or loss, at their fair values. 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 traded in an active market is based on their quoted market prices
on a recognised exchange or sourced from a reputable broker/counterparty, in the case of non-exchange
traded instruments, at the reporting date without any deduction for estimated future selling costs.
Financial assets and liabilities are stated at market value based on the last traded price within the bid
ask spread on each valuation date.
If a quoted market price is not available on a recognised stock exchange or from a reputable
broker/counterparty, the fair value of the financial instruments may be estimated by the Directors using
appropriate valuation techniques, including use of recent arm’s length market transactions, reference
to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow
techniques, 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 at fair value through profit or loss are
recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (“SOCI”).
An analysis of fair values of financial instruments and further details as to how they are measured are
provided in Note 4.
Financial instruments, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment for financial assets. Gains and losses
are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, as well as through the amortisation
process.

(e) Financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss (continued)
(iv) Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial
assets) is derecognised where:
- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
- The ICAV has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation
to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through
arrangement; and
- either (a) the ICAV has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the ICAV
has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has
transferred control of the asset.
When the ICAV has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset (or has entered into a
pass-through arrangement), and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and
rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the
ICAV’s continuing involvement in the asset. The ICAV derecognises a financial liability when the
obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.
(v) Impairment
IFRS 9 requires the ICAV to record expected credit losses (ECLs) on all of its short-term receivables,
either on a 12-month or lifetime basis. Given the limited exposure of the ICAV to credit risk, this
amendment has not had a material impact on the financial statements. The ICAV only holds short-term
receivables with no financing component and that have maturities of less than 12 months at amortised
cost. Therefore, it has adopted an approach similar to the simplified approach to ECLs.
(f) Foreign currency translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the presentation currency are
translated into the presentation currency at the closing rates of exchange at financial year end.
Transactions during the financial year, including purchases and sales of securities, income and
expenses, are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Foreign
exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in the SOCI. Foreign exchange
gains/losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the SOCI within “Net foreign
exchange loss” and foreign exchange gains/losses relating to financial assets and liabilities carried at
fair value through profit or loss are presented in the SOCI within “Net gain on financial assets and
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss”.

2. Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(g) Income
Dividend income is credited to the SOCI on the date on which the relevant securities are listed as “ex-
dividend”. Dividend income is shown gross of any non-recoverable withholding taxes, which are
disclosed separately in the SOCI, and net of any tax credits. The Dividend income for the financial year
ended 31 December 2023 amounted to USD 13,279,196 (2022: USD 3,705,290)
(h) Expenses
Expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis and are charged to the SOCI when incurred.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include current and call accounts with maturities of three months or less.
Cash comprises of cash held with HSBC Bank Plc (Standard & Poor: A+) (2022: Standard & Poor:
A+). Cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2023 was USD3,394,602 (2022: USD375,798) and
the bank overdraft was USD2,193 (2022: USD171,610).
(j) Dividend distribution
The Directors retain the right to declare dividends in respect of net investment income on the Sub-
Funds' investments in their sole discretion. In the event that the Directors determine to declare
dividends in respect of any class in the Sub-Fund, Shareholders will be notified in advance of any such
change in the dividend policy, including the date by which dividends will be paid and the method by
which dividends will be paid.
(k) Taxation
The IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) published a new interpretation IFRIC 23 ‘Uncertainty
over Income Tax Treatments’, specifying how entities should reflect uncertainty in accounting for
income taxes. IFRIC 23 addresses the previous lack of guidance in IAS 12 ‘Income Taxes’, which
specifies how to account for current and deferred tax, but not how to reflect the effects of uncertainty.
The Investment Manager evaluated the effect of IFRIC 23 and deemed that it did not have a significant
impact on the financial statements since the majority of the Fund’s financial instruments are, in the
opinion of the Investment Manager, not subject to material uncertain tax treatment.
Under current law and practice the ICAV qualifies as an investment undertaking as defined in Section
739B of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended. As such, it is not chargeable to Irish tax on
its income or gains.
However, Irish tax may arise on the happening of a “chargeable event”. A chargeable event includes
any distribution payments to shareholders or any encashment, redemption, cancellation or transfer of
shares.
No Irish tax will arise on the ICAV regarding chargeable events in respect of a Shareholder who is
neither Irish Resident nor Ordinarily Resident in Ireland at the time of the chargeable event provided
that a Relevant Declaration is in place and the ICAV is not in possession of any information which
would reasonably suggest that the information contained therein is no longer materially correct.

(k) Taxation (continued)
A Chargeable Event does not include:
(i) any transaction in relation to Shares held in a recognised clearing system;
(ii) any exchange by a Shareholder effected by way of a bargain made at arm’s length by the ICAV, of
Shares in the ICAV for other Shares in the ICAV;
(iii) certain transfers of Shares between spouses or civil partners and former spouses or former civil
partners;
(iv) an exchange of Shares arising on a qualifying amalgamation or reconstruction of the ICAV with
another Irish investment undertaking; or
(v) the cancellation of Shares in the ICAV arising from an exchange in relation to a scheme of
amalgamation.
Income, interest and capital gains (if any) received on investments made by the ICAV may be subject
to withholding taxes imposed by the country from which the investment amounts are received and such
taxes may not be recoverable by the ICAV or its shareholders.
(l) Transaction costs
Transaction costs are incremental costs, which are separately identifiable and directly attributable to
the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs for all
financial assets carried at fair value through profit and loss are included in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income. These include fees and commissions paid to brokers and counterparties and
have been classified within gains and losses. Transaction fees paid to the Depositary on trade settlement
are expensed as incurred and included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Transaction costs
are detailed in Note 5.
(m) Due to/from broker
Amounts due from/to brokers represent receivables for securities sold and payables for securities
purchased that have been contracted for but not yet delivered by the end of the year. Amounts due from
broker at 31 December 2023 was USD3,572,292 (2022: USD2,429,781) and Amounts due to broker
was USD4,729,711 (2022: USD2,233,175).
(n) Net gain/(loss) from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Net gain/(loss) from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss includes all
realized and unrealized fair value changes and foreign exchange differences, interest and dividend
income, including dividend expenses on securities sold short, if any.
(o) Redeemable participating shares
The redeemable participating shares are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost and are
measured at the present value of the redemption amount.

4. Fair value of financial instruments
IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritises the inputs to valuation techniques used to
measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described in the table
below.
Level 1: Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the ICAV has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly
or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and
Level 3: This category includes all instruments for which the valuation technique includes inputs
not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on
the instrument's valuation.
Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that
market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may
include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and
other factors. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level
of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what
constitutes “observable” requires significant judgement by the Directors. The Directors consider
observable data to be that market data, which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated,
reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved
in the relevant market. The categorisation of a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon
the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Directors’
perceived risk of that instrument.
Transferable securities
Transferable securities whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets are classified
within Level 1. These include active listed equities. The Directors do not adjust the quoted price for
such instruments, even in situations where the ICAV holds a large position and a sale could reasonably
impact the quoted price.
Transferable securities that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based
on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs
are classified within Level 2.
Transferable securities classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade
infrequently or not at all. There are no Level 3 investments held at financial year end.
The financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss are short term
financial assets and liabilities whose carrying amounts approximate fair value. Cash and cash
equivalents are categorised as Level 1 and all other financial assets are not measured at FVTPL are
categorised as Level 2 on the hierarchy.

4. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
The ICAV redeems and issues redeemable participating shares at the amount equal to the proportionate
share of net assets of the ICAV at the time of subscription or redemption, calculated on a basis consistent
with that used in the financial statements except for treatment of formation costs (see Note 9).
Accordingly, the carrying amount of Net assets attributable to holders of participating shares
approximates their fair value. The shares are categorised into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents the financial instruments carried on the Statement of Financial Position by
caption and by level within the valuation hierarchy as at 31 December 2023.

7. Risk arising from financial instruments
The EME Sub-Fund’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price
risk, currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The EME Sub-Fund’s overall
risk management process focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to mitigate
potential adverse effects on the EME Sub-Fund’s financial performance.
The Manager seeks to mitigate the financial risk in the EME Sub-Fund in its daily risk management
process. From year to year, the EME Sub-Fund’s exposure to risk will alter as market conditions change
and as the components of the portfolio change and are adjusted through trading, subscriptions and
redemptions. With regard to the objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk, whilst
adapting to the current market conditions, the approach will remain consistent from year to year.
(a) Market risk
The potential for changes in the fair value or cash flows of the EME Sub-Fund’s investment portfolios
is referred to as Market Risk. Categories of Market Risk include price risk, foreign currency risk and
interest rate risk.

7. Risk arising from financial instruments (continued)
(a) Market risk (continued)
(i) Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the value of instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices
(other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether caused by factors specific to
an individual investment, its issuer or all factors affecting all instruments traded in the market. It
represents the potential loss the EME Sub-Fund might suffer through holding market positions in the
face of price movements. The securities held by the EME Sub-Fund are held at fair value with fair value
changes recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. All changes in market conditions will
therefore directly affect net investment income for the EME Sub-Fund.
The EME Sub-Fund manages this exposure to individual price movements of underlying positions by
only making investments which are in line with the investment restrictions.
As at 31 December, 2023, the EME Sub-Fund was exposed to other price risk primarily through its
equity investments that trade on stock exchanges and investments in depositary receipts, whose fair
value reflects the market value of the underlying equity investments. Substantially all of the EME Sub-
Fund’s net assets attributable to holders of redeemable participating shares were exposed to other price
risk because of exposure to market fluctuations (not caused by other factors mentioned previously). If
equity investment prices had increased or decreased by 5%, with all other factors remaining constant,
net assets attributable to holders of redeemable participating shares would have increased or decreased
by approximately USD43,484,213 (2022: USD8,414,095) as at 31 December, 2023. In practice, actual
results may differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.
(ii) Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
As a result of investment in obligations involving currencies of various countries, the value of the assets
of the EME Sub-Fund as measured in EME Sub-Fund’s base currency will be affected by changes in
currency exchange rates, which may affect the EME Sub-Fund’s performance independent of the
performance of its securities investments. The EME Sub-Fund may or may not seek to hedge all or any
portion of its foreign currency exposure. However, even if the EME Sub-Fund attempts such hedging
techniques, it is not possible to hedge fully or perfectly against currency fluctuations affecting the value
of securities denominated in non-base currencies because the value of those securities is likely to
fluctuate as a result of independent factors not related to currency fluctuations.
Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time causing, along with
other factors, the EME Sub-Fund’s Net Asset Value to fluctuate as well. Currency exchange rates
generally are determined by the forces of supply and demand in the currency exchange markets and the
relative merits of investments in different countries, actual or anticipated changes in interest rates and
other complex factors, as seen from an international perspective. Currency exchange rates also can be
affected unpredictably by intervention or failure to intervene by governments or central banks or by
currency controls or political developments throughout the world.

7. Risk arising from financial instruments (continued)
(a) Market risk (continued)
(ii) Foreign currency risk (continued)
To the extent that a substantial portion of the EME Sub-Fund total assets, adjusted to reflect the EME
Sub-Fund net position after giving effect to currency transactions, is denominated in the currencies of
particular countries, the EME Sub-Fund will be more susceptible to the risk of adverse economic and
political developments within those countries.

(iii) Interest rate risk
This is the risk that interest rates will change (with strong influence on prices of fixed income
instruments and some influence on prices of other instruments).
Interest rate risk is the risk (as a variability in value) borne by an interest-bearing asset, typically a
bond, due to the variability of interest rates. In general, as rates rise, the price of a fixed rate bond will
fall, and vice versa. Interest rate risk is commonly measured by the bond’s duration.
There is no significant interest rate risk in the current year as well as in the previous year as the portfolio
of the EME Sub-Fund only contains equities.
The cash balance is held with the Depositary which pays a prevailing market-related rate, therefore
interest rate risk is negligible.

7. Risk arising from financial instruments (continued)
(a) Market risk (continued)
(iv) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Sub-Funds if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails
to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Sub-Funds. Credit risk is
generally higher when a non-exchange traded financial instrument is involved because the counterparty
for non-exchange traded financial instruments is not backed by an exchange clearing house.
The EME Sub-Fund will be exposed to the credit risk of the counterparties with which, or the brokers
and dealers and exchanges through which, it deals, whether it engages in exchange-traded or off-
exchange transactions.
EME Sub-Funds assets are safeguarded and held by the Depositary. The Investment Manager analyses
the credit risk of the EME Sub-Fund’s Depositary prior to appointment and continues to monitor
developments in its credit quality subsequently. HSBC Bank Plc is the holding company of the
Depositary, HSBC Continental Europe.
The below table provides an analysis of the EME Sub-Fund’s main financial assets as at the Statement
of Financial Position date, that are exposed to credit risk, together with the relevant counterparty’s
credit rating as reported by Standard and Poor’s.

(v) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with
financial liabilities. The EME Sub-Fund is exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable
participating shares and monitors this activity to ensure that funds are available to meet the redemption
requirements.
The EME Sub-Fund’s actively traded securities are considered to be readily realisable as they are
actively traded on recognised stock exchanges
The EME Sub-Fund retains sufficient cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities that can be
readily disposed of to maintain liquidity. Liquidity risk is considered negligible. The EME Sub-Fund’s
financial liabilities are all short-term in nature and are expected to mature within three months of the
31 December 2023 financial statement date, with the exception of redeemable participating shares,
which are due on demand as shown in below table on page 45.

(vi) Concentration risk
Concentration risk arises as a result of the concentration of exposures within the same category, whether
it is geographic region, asset type or sector.
The portfolio manager adheres to specified investment constraints in relation to asset class and
diversification, thus minimizing exposure to concentration risk.
The Schedule of Investments provides detailed information on the EME Sub-Fund’s concentration risk
exposure as at 31 December 2023.

(vii) Global exposure
By regulation, a UCITS may invest in financial derivative instruments (“FDI”). A UCITS must
establish a risk limitation system to ensure that risks involved with FDI are properly managed,
measured and monitored on an ongoing basis.
These particular risks are referred to as global exposure. A Sub-Fund’s global exposure shall not exceed
its Net Asset Value (i.e., a Sub-Fund may not be leveraged in excess of 100% of its Net Asset Value
through the use of FDI).
The EME Sub-Fund does not use FDI.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

UCITS V Remuneration Disclosure
The European Union Directive 2014/91/EU as implemented in Ireland by S.I. No. 143/2016 - European
Union (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) (Amendment) Regulations
2016, requires management companies to establish and apply remuneration policies and practices that
promote sound and effective risk management, and do not encourage risk taking which is inconsistent
with the risk profile of the UCITS.
To that effect, Carne Global Fund Managers (Ireland) Limited (“the Manager), has implemented a
remuneration policy that applies to all UCITS for which the Manager acts as manager (the
Remuneration Policy”) and covers all staff whose professional activities have a material impact on
the risk profile of the Manager or the UCITS it manages (“Identified Staff of the Manager”). The
Remuneration Policy also applies to all alternative investment funds for which the Manager acts as
alternative investment fund manager. In accordance with the Remuneration Policy, all remuneration
paid to Identified Staff of the Manager can be divided into:
Fixed remuneration (payments or benefits without consideration of any performance criteria);
and
Variable remuneration (additional payments or benefits depending on performance or, in certain
cases, other contractual criteria) which is not based on the performance of the UCITS.
The Manager has designated the following persons as Identified Staff of the Manager:
1. The Designated Persons;
2. Each of the Manager’s directors;
3. Head of Compliance;
4. Risk Officer;
5. Head of Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing Compliance
6. Money Laundering Reporting Officer;
7. Chief Executive Officer;
8. Chief Operating Officer;
9. All members of the investment committee;
10. All members of the risk committee and
11. All members of the valuation committee.
The Manager has a business model, policies, and procedures which by their nature do not promote
excessive risk taking and take account of the nature, scale, and complexity of the Manager and the
UCITS. The Remuneration Policy is designed to discourage risk taking that is inconsistent with the risk
profile of the UCITS and the Manager is not incentivised or rewarded for taking excessive risk.
The Manager has determined not to constitute a separate remuneration committee and for remuneration
matters to be determined through the Manager’s Compliance and AML Committee, a Committee of the
Manager’s Board.
The Manager’s Compliance and AML Committee is responsible for the ongoing implementation of the
Manager’s remuneration matters and will assess, oversee, and review the remuneration arrangements of
the Manager as well as that of the delegates as relevant, in line with the provisions of the applicable
remuneration requirements.

OTHER ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
93
UCITS V Remuneration Disclosure (continued)
The Manager employs the majority of staff directly. The Manager’s parent company is Carne Global
Financial Services Limited (“Carne”). In addition, Carne also operates through a shared services
organisational model which provides that Carne employs a number of staff and further enters into inter-
group agreements with other Carne Group entities to ensure such entities are resourced appropriately.
As at 31 December 2023, 12 of the Identified Staff are employed directly by the Manager. The remainder
of the Identified Staff are employees of Carne, or employees of another entity within the Carne Group,
and are remunerated directly based on their contribution to Carne Group as a whole. In return for the
services of each of the Carne Identified Staff, the Manager pays an annual staff recharge to Carne (the
Staff Recharge”).
The independent non-executive directors of the Manager are paid a fixed remuneration. The Other
Identified Staff members’ remuneration is linked to their overall individual contribution to the Manager
or the Carne Group, with reference to both financial and non-financial criteria and not directly linked to
the performance of specific business units or targets reached or the performance of the UCITS.
The aggregate of the total Staff Recharge, remuneration of the directly employed identified staff of the
Manager and the remuneration of the independent non-executive directors for the year ended 31
December 2023 is €2,424,932 paid to 22
1
Identified Staff for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The Manager has also determined that, on the basis of number of sub-funds / net asset value of the
UCITS relative to the number of sub-funds / assets under management, the portion of this figure
attributable to the UCITS is €7,791.
1
This number represents the number of Identified Staff as at 31 December 2023.
