3 Investment Objective and Policy The Unicorn Mastertrust Fund aims to achieve long term caital growth by investing in a wide range of listed investment comanies. The Fund has issued Retail (A), Institutional (B) and Overseas (O) Income shares. Investment Manager's Reort for the eriod from 01 October 2014 to 30 Setember 2015 For the twelve month eriod ending 30 Setember 2015 Unicorn Mastertrust s Institutional (B) shares roduced a ositive return of 2.7%. Over the same eriod the overall UK equity market declined by 2.5% and the average return achieved by cometing Flexible Investment funds was -0.2% (source: Financial Exress Bid to Bid, Total Returns). The Fund was invested in 52 comanies at the eriod end. The most significant ositive contributions to erformance during the eriod came from Strategic Equity Caital and Acorn Income Fund which achieved share rice gains of 40.3% and 22.4% resectively. Strong share rice areciation was also recorded by TR Proerty Investment Trust (+15.2%), North Atlantic Smaller Comanies Investment Trust (+23.5%), Blackrock Throgmorton Trust (+18.3%), Henderson Smaller Comanies Investment Trust (+19.7%) and Indeendent Investment Trust (+23.0%). The largest detractors from erformance during the eriod were Temleton Emerging Markets Investment Trust (-31.4%), Candover Investments (-64.2%), City Natural Resources High Yield Trust (-39.0%), Edinburgh Dragon Trust (-16.4%), Hansa Trust (-15.8%) and Aberdeen Latin American Income Fund (-39.7%). Six new investments were added to the ortfolio in the eriod under review. There were two additions in the Listed Private Equity sector (Aax Global Alha and Harbourvest Global Private Equity), two in the Global sector (Alliance Trust and Law Debenture Cororation) together with two secialist trusts; Gabelli Value Plus + Trust (North America) and Aberdeen New Dawn Investment Trust (Asia Pacific). Four investments were realised in full, namely, Witan Investment Trust, Pacific Assets Trust, Acencia Debt Strategies and Marwyn Value Investors. As anticiated at the interim stage, equity markets exerienced increased volatility towards the end of the eriod under review as concerns mounted over the outlook for the Chinese economy and the timing of interest rate rises in the United States. These heightened fears coincided with a eriod in which a number of indicators suggested a slowing in the rate of global economic growth and led to shar corrections in the share rices of emerging markets and commodities focused investment comanies. As mentioned in our revious reviews since the global financial crisis, the ath towards the normalisation of interest rates is likely to remain to the fore of investors minds for some considerable time to come. While markets have subsequently recovered their oise it is likely that further bouts of uncertainty will characterise markets in the coming year as develoed markets aear to be neither excessively chea nor exensive. In contrast, emerging markets have de-rated to levels which have historically roved to be an attractive entry oint. 2 Unicorn Investment Funds - Mastertrust Fund
4 Investment Manager s Reort continued Desite the recent increase in volatility, average discounts within the investment comanies sector traded within a relatively narrow range during the eriod under review. While it has been some time since the relationshi between share rices and net asset values has been tested by a severe market correction it was encouraging to note an acceleration of share buy-back activity during the more challenging market conditions in the third quarter of Investor interest in the Investment Comanies sector has continued to increase following the imlementation of the Retail Distribution Review and new and secondary issue activity has continued aace. We continue to believe that the Investment Comanies sector offers excellent oortunities to deliver long-term returns and that Mastertrust is well laced to make further rogress in the future.

7 Comarative Tables continued Risk and reward rofile The risk and reward indicator table demonstrates where the Fund ranks in terms of its otential risk and reward. The higher the rank the greater the otential reward but the greater the risk of losing money. It is based on ast data, may change over time and may not be a reliable indication of the future risk rofile of the Fund. The shaded area in the table below shows the Fund s ranking on the risk and reward indicator. Tyically lower rewards, lower risk Tyically higher rewards, higher risk The Fund is ranked at 4 because funds of this tye have exerienced average rises and falls in value in the ast. During the year under review the category changed from 5 to 4, this is due to the rice volatility of the Fund. Please note that even the lowest risk class can lose you money and that extreme market circumstances can mean you suffer severe losses in all cases. The indicator does not take into account the following risks of investing in this Fund: Changes in currency exchange rates may cause the value of investments to decrease or increase. The rice of investment trusts may not reflect the value of the assets they hold. This can result in wide rice changes of the investment trust shares. For further risk information lease see the rosectus. Risk warning An investment in an Oen Ended Investment Comany should be regarded as a medium to long-term investment. Investors should be aware that the rice of shares and the revenue from them can fall as well as rise and investors may not receive back the full amount invested. Past erformance is not a guide to future erformance.
