REVIEW
For the year ended 31 December 2016, the Fund returned 14.2%, outperforming the benchmark which rose 1%, in SGD terms.
The outperformance came from our underweight in Financials and Consumer Staples. For Financials, our underweight in banks and stock selection helped performance. Investors were still concerned about the health of the banking industry. Therefore, stronger banks outperformed those that were still at risk of higher credit cost and non-performing loans. For Consumer Staples, stock selection was the key driver as we were overweight beverage and livestock companies, while underweighting dry food companies. Our underweight in Utilities and overweight in Materials hurt performance. Stock selection caused our underperformance in Utilities as we were underweight power generation companies but overweight electrical equipment companies. In Materials, our underweight in the steel sector hurt performance as margins and volume were above our expectations. This was mitigated by our overweight in plastics companies which had strong earnings growth driven by exports.
The overall Vietnam market started off weak on falling crude oil prices, concerns on China’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth and RMB devaluation, and fears of rising US interest rates. These led to outflow of foreign funds from emerging markets which pressured the Vietnamese stock market. The market recovered from 2Q16 on higher oil price, positive corporate earnings guidance and acceleration in the privatisation of state owned enterprises.

LIONGLOBAL VIETNAM FUND
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Consensus 2017 GDP forecast for Vietnam is 6.5%, driven by exports, personal consumption and a recovery in the agricultural sector that faced dry weather and colder than normal temperatures earlier in 2016. Public spending could slow as government debt is reaching the limit of 65% of GDP and Vietnam should continue to run a fiscal deficit in 2017. Inflation in 2017 is expected to ease to 3.8% on a high base in 2016 and the government should allow the Dong to depreciate 2-3% against the US dollar. Policy rates should therefore be kept stable over the next 12 months.
Several state-owned enterprises were listed in Vietnam last year e.g. Hanoi Beer, Saigon Beer, Airports Corporation of Vietnam, which has increased the investment opportunity set. Together with the intention to increase foreign ownership limit of listed companies, we expect sustained foreign interest in Vietnam equities, which should be supportive of the market’s performance.
In terms of portfolio strategy, we will stick with our bottom-up stock picking approach and invest in companies with strong business fundamentals that can benefit from Vietnam’s attractive medium to long term economic growth potential. Our sector allocation is therefore mainly a function of our bottom-up stock selection process. However, we are cognizant of macro and external influences which may have significant short-term impact on stock prices and will take appropriate actions to mitigate downside risks or exploit opportunities arising from such volatility. We like the consumer sector which benefits from rising incomes and an expanding middle income population, a trend which we expect will continue for the foreseeable future. Within this sector, we look for companies (1) that are market leaders, (2) that are able to exploit changes in consumer habits, and (3) that have management capabilities and capital to consolidate smaller and less efficient companies. We also like infrastructure owners, in roads, bridges and airports, which are well placed to benefit from Vietnam’s economic growth and further need of infrastructure investments. We are still slightly cautious on the overall banking sector as the loan quality varies for different banks and the sector as a whole appears insufficiently capitalised. We are careful on the property sector, especially the high end segment, where an oversupply environment may be developing.
Key downside risks for the economy and stock market are high government debt, budget deficit, risk to exports on uncertain US trade policies, and China’s macro and monetary stability.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE UNITHOLDERS OFLIONGLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS III - LionGlobal Vietnam Fund(Constituted under a Trust Deed in the Republic of Singapore)
Our Opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of the sub-fund of LionGlobal Investment Funds III (the “Fund”), namely LionGlobal Vietnam Fund ( the “Sub-Fund”) are properly drawn up in accordance with the recommendations of Statement of Recommended Accounting Practice 7 “Reporting Framework for Unit Trusts” issued by the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants, so as to present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and portfolio holdings of the Sub-Fund as at 31 December 2016, and of the financial performance and movements of unitholders’ funds for the financial year ended on that date.
What we have audited
The financial statements of the Sub-Fund comprise:• the Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2016;• the Statement of Portfolio as at 31 December 2016;• the Statement of Total Return for the financial year then ended;• the Statement of Movements of Unitholders’ Funds for the financial year then
ended; and• the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (“SSAs”). 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Sub-Fund in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (“ACRA Code”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code.

Other Information
The Sub-Fund’s Manager (the “Manager”) is responsible for the other information. The other information refers to the relevant sections of the annual report included on pages 1 to 8, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and excludes the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Manager for the Financial Statements
The Manager is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the recommendations of Statement of Recommended Accounting Practice 7 “Reporting Framework for Unit Trusts” issued by the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants and for such internal control as the Manager determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Manager is responsible for assessing the Sub-Fund’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 the Manager either intends to terminate the Sub-Fund or to cease the Sub-Fund’s operations, or has 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 SSAs 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.
LionGlobal Vietnam Fund AR.indd 10 29/3/17 3:17 pm

LIONGLOBAL VIETNAM FUND
As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Sub-Fund’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Manager.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Manager’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Sub-Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Sub-Fund to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the Manager regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the financial year ended 31 December 2016
These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements.
1. GENERAL
LionGlobal Investment Funds III (the “Fund”) is a Singapore domiciled umbrella fund constituted by a Deed of Trust dated 8 December 2006 together with its Supplemental Deeds thereon (thereafter referred to as “Trust Deed”) between Lion Global Investors Limited (the “Manager”) and RBC Dexia Trust Services Singapore Limited (“RBC Dexia”). The Trust Deed is governed by the laws of the Republic of Singapore.
With effect from 1 July 2011, RBC Dexia retired as the Trustee of the Fund and HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited (the “Trustee”) was appointed in place of RBC Dexia.
The only sub-fund under LionGlobal Investment Funds III as at 31 December 2016 is LionGlobal Vietnam Fund (the “Sub-Fund”).
Subscriptions and redemptions of the Sub-Fund are denominated in Singapore Dollar and United States Dollar. Investors may subscribe in United States Dollar at the applicable rate of exchange from Singapore Dollar.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified by the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and in accordance with the recommendations of Statement of Recommended Accounting Practice 7 “Reporting Framework for Unit Trusts” issued by the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants.
(b) Recognition of income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

LIONGLOBAL VIETNAM FUND
(c) Financial derivatives
Financial derivatives are entered into for the purposes of efficient portfolio management, tactical asset allocation or specific hedging of financial assets held as determined by the Manager and in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed.
Financial derivatives outstanding at the end of the financial year are measured at their fair values using the marked-to-market method, and the resultant gains and losses are taken up in the Statement of Total Return.
(d) Distributions
The Manager has the absolute discretion to determine whether a distribution is to be made. In such an event, an appropriate amount will be transferred to a distribution account to be paid out on the distribution date. The amount shall not be treated as part of the property of the Sub-Fund. Distributions are accrued for at the reporting date if the necessary approvals have been obtained and a legal or constructive obligation has been created.
(e) Investments
Investments are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
(i) Initial recognition
Purchases of investments are recognised on the trade date. Investments are recorded at fair value on initial recognition.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
Investments are subsequently carried at fair value. Net change in the fair value of investments are included in the Statement of Total Return in the year in which they arise.
(iii) Derecognition
Investments are derecognised on the trade date of disposal. The resultant realised gains and losses on the sales of investments are computed on the basis of the difference between the weighted average cost and selling price gross of transaction costs, and are taken up in the Statement of Total Return.
(f) Basis of valuation of investments
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the reporting date. The Sub-Fund utilises the last traded market price for both financial assets and financial liabilities where the last traded price falls within the bid-ask spread. In circumstances where the last traded price is not within the bid-ask spread, the Manager will determine the point within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value.

LIONGLOBAL VIETNAM FUND
(g) Receivables
Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Receivables are initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(h) Foreign currencies
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Subscriptions and redemptions of the units in the Sub-Fund are denominated in Singapore dollars and United States dollars. The primary activity of the Sub-Fund is to invest in authorised investments which are equities, equity-related instruments (including, without limitation, interests in property funds) and securities in Vietnamese incorporated companies or institutions, as well as in companies or institutions which although not incorporated in Vietnam, have operations in, exposure to, or derived part of their revenue from Vietnam, and the Indo-China region (which includes, but is not limited to, Cambodia and Laos). The Sub-Fund may also invest in short term fixed income securities listed or traded on recognised markets within the Indo-China region.
The performance of the Sub-Fund is measured and reported to the investors in Singapore dollars. In addition, the Sub-Fund’s activities are substantially based in Singapore and expenses are predominantly denominated in Singapore dollars. Therefore, the Manager considers the Singapore Dollar as the currency which most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions. The Sub-Fund’s functional and presentation currency is the Singapore Dollar.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the reporting date are recognised in the Statement of Total Return. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities are also recognised in the Statement of Total Return within the net gain or loss on investment.

11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Sub-Fund’s activities expose it to a variety of market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Fund’s overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Fund’s financial performance. The Fund may use financial futures contracts, options and/or currency forward contracts subject to the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures. Specific guidelines on exposures to individual securities and certain industries are in place for the Fund at any time as part of the overall financial risk management to reduce the Sub-Fund’s risk exposures.
The Sub-Fund’s assets principally consist of equity securities. They are held in accordance with the published investment policies of the Sub-Fund. The allocation of assets between the various types of investments is determined by the Manager to achieve their investment objectives.
The following is a summary of the main risks and risk management policies:
(a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss to the value of financial investments because of changes in market conditions like interest and currency rate movements and volatility in security prices. External factors such as changes in economic environment, consumption patterns and investor’s expectation contribute to market risk which may have a significant impact on the asset’s value.
LionGlobal Vietnam Fund AR.indd 24 29/3/17 3:17 pm
25
LIONGLOBAL VIETNAM FUND
The Sub-Fund’s investments are substantially dependent on changes in market prices. The Manager monitors the Fund’s investments closely so as to assess changes in fundamentals and valuation. Although the Manager makes reasonable efforts in the choice of investments, events beyond reasonable control of the Manager could affect the prices of the underlying investments and hence the asset value of the Sub-Fund. Guidelines are set to reduce the Sub-Fund’s risk exposures to market volatility such as diversifying the portfolio by investing across various geographies/ industries.
The Sub-Fund’s market risk is affected primarily by three components: changes in actual market prices, interest rate volatilities and foreign exchange movements.
(i) Price risk
The Sub-Fund’s sensitivity to the market is measured using its beta, a ratio that describes how the expected return of a portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole. The daily fund price movement is measured against the daily price movement of the benchmark to derive the beta.
As at 31 December 2016, the Sub-Fund’s beta was 0.90 (2015: 0.91) which was calculated based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the Sub-Fund and its benchmark (2015: based on the daily returns over the preceding 12 months for the Sub-Fund and its benchmark).
The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases from the Sub-Fund’s underlying investments in equities on the Sub-Fund’s net assets attributable to the unitholders as at 31 December 2016 and 2015. The analysis was based on the assumptions that the index components within the benchmark index increased/decreased by a reasonable possible shift, with all variables held constant and that the fair value of the Sub-Fund’s investments moved according to the beta.

(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
Investment funds that invest in equity securities may be subject to interest rate risk as any interest rate change may affect the equity risk premium though at varying degrees. To manage this risk, the Manager analyses how interest rate changes may affect different industries and securities and then seeks to adjust the Sub-Fund’s portfolio investments accordingly. However, the effects of changes in interest rates on the Sub-Fund’s portfolio may not be quantified as the relationship between interest rates and the value of the equity securities is indirect. Other than cash and bank balances and fixed deposit which are subjected to an insignificant interest rate risk, the Sub-Fund’s financial assets and liabilities are largely non-interest bearing. The Sub-Fund is not subjected to significant risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.
(iii) Currency risk
The Sub-Fund has monetary financial assets/liabilities denominated in currencies other than Singapore dollars and the Sub-Fund may be affected favourably or unfavourably by exchange rate regulations or changes in the exchange rates between the Singapore Dollar and such other currencies. The Sub-Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts designed to either hedge some or all of this exposure, or alternatively increase exposure to preferred foreign currencies.
The table below summarises the Sub-Fund’s exposure to key currencies at the end of the financial year. Monetary and non-monetary items have been taken into the account for the analysis.

LIONGLOBAL VIETNAM FUND
Equity investments are non-monetary financial assets and are exposed to both currency risk and price risk. As these financial assets are non-monetary, no separate sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyse currency risk. The impact of currency risk arising from these financial assets on the Sub-Fund’s net asset value has been included in the above price risk sensitivity analysis.
The Sub-Fund’s monetary assets/liabilities are measured for their sensitivity to exchange rate movements based on the balance of the monetary assets/liabilities, forecasted exchange rate movements and the net asset value of the Sub-Fund.
As of 31 December 2016 and 2015, the Sub-Fund’s exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the monetary assets/liabilities is not considered to be significant and hence no sensitivity analysis on foreign currency risk has been presented.
(b) Liquidity risk
The Sub-Fund is exposed to daily redemption of units in the Sub-Fund. It therefore invests the majority of its assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of.
The table below analyses the Sub-Fund’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances, as the impact of discounting is not significant.

(c) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will fail to perform contractual obligations, either in whole or in part, under a contract.
Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by:
• ensuring counterparties, together with the respective credit limits, are approved,
• ensuring that transactions are undertaken with a large number of counterparties, and
• ensuring that the majority of transactions are undertaken on recognised exchanges.
All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid upon delivery using approved brokers. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities is only made once the broker has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been received by the broker. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.
Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and assets held with financial institutions.
The Sub-Fund may also enter into derivatives to manage its exposures to currency risk and price risk, including foreign exchange forward contracts and options. Hence, the Sub-Fund is also exposed to the risk that its derivatives held with counterparties may not be recoverable in the event of any default by the parties concerned. The Manager minimises the Sub-Fund’s credit risk by undertaking transactions with banks that are part of banking groups with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.
The table below summarises the credit rating of banks and custodian in which the Sub-Fund’s assets are held as at 31 December 2016 and 2015.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets.
The credit ratings are based on the Long-Term Issuer Ratings published by the rating agency.
## Group credit ratings are presented for unrated subsidiaries.
(d) Capital management
The Sub-Fund’s capital is represented by the net assets attributable to unitholders. The Sub-Fund strives to invest the subscriptions of redeemable participating units in investments that meet the Sub-Fund’s investment objectives while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet unitholders’ redemptions.
(e) Fair value estimation
The Sub-Fund classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
• Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).
• Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).
• Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

The following table analyses within the fair value hierarchy the Sub-Fund’s financial assets and liabilities (by class) measured at fair value at 31 December 2016 and 2015:
Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and therefore classified within Level 1, comprise active listed equities. The Sub-Fund does not adjust the quoted price for these instruments.
Except for cash and bank balances which are classified as Level 1, the Sub-Fund’s assets and liabilities not measured at fair value at 31 December 2016 and 2015 have been classified as Level 2. The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair values as at the reporting date.
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management fees are paid to the Manager, while trustee fee is paid to the Trustee. These fees paid or payable by the Sub-Fund shown in the Statement of Total Return and in the respective notes to the financial statements are on terms set out in the Trust Deed.
In addition to the related party information shown elsewhere in the financial statements, the following significant transactions took place during the financial year between the Sub-Fund and related parties at terms agreed between the parties and within the provisions of the Trust Deed:
