Beauregard Capital SICAV

Report of the Board of Directors

2016 was a particularly difficult year for active equity managers, the year started with a market collapse in a period which is usuallyvery supportive for risk assets and could only be compared to January and February 2008 in terms of the extend of the fall in such ashort period of time.

As the year progressed, more tail risk events materialised such as the British referendum on the European Union, the presidentialelection in the US or the constitutional referendum in Italy, we had difficulties to find a balance between the fund’s objectives to beatthe US equity market and the capital preservation goals of our private clients.

In that context, the Beauregard Capital SICAV - US Equity Paradigm Fund (USD Class) rose a mere +1.51% in 2016 while the S&P500 increased by +9.54% and by +11.23% with the net dividends being reinvested. The CHF Class was down by -0.63% due tohedging costs and interest rate differential. The underperformance stemmed from unfortunate capital preservation decisions such asreducing our bank holdings in February 2016 or hedging part of the portfolio in March 2016 and again ahead of the Italian vote inDecember 2016. Looking back, 2016 was especially frustrating as the fund was rightly positioned at the beginning year with largeweightings in Nvidia, Amazon and Alphabet which performed particularly well during the year. However, volatility of markets and ofquarterly earnings pushed us to reduce them too early. Investment processes and models have been improved to avoid such outcometo be repeated going forward and are already bearing fruits at the beginning of 2017.

The fund ended the year with USD 21 min in Assets under Management.

In terms of the operations of the fund, the Fund manager’s entity was changed to Beauregard Capital Limited to CFE (UK) Limited.The fund was the only substance of Beauregard Capital and we thought more appropriate to have it under the umbrella of a largerstructure. CFE (UK) is part of Corporation Financiére Européenne, headquartered in Geneva and with offices in Monte-Carlo andLondon. CFE provides services in Trade Finance, Alternative Credit and Fixed Income, and the Beauregard Capital SICAV - USEquity Paradigm Fund provides an interesting add on in equities to its clients. The depositary and fund administration were changedin December to VP Bank (Luxembourg) SA as Credit Suisse Fund Services (Luxembourg) S.A., who previously was performing thosetasks, are pursuing a strategy to serve only larger funds. So far the relationship with VP Bank has been very productive and that bankprobably better fits our lean operations.

We are looking forward to 2017 which so far is up to a great start for both US equities and the US Equity Paradigm fund.

The figures stated in this report are historical and not necessarily indicative of futures performance.

The net asset value of each Class within each Subfund (expressed in the currency of denomination of the Subfund) is determined byaggregating the value of securities and other permitted assets’ of the Company allocated to that Class and deducting the liabilities ofthe Company allocated to that Class.

The assets of each Class within each Subfund are valued as of the Valuation Day, as defined in the relevant Subfund Particular, asfollows:

1. shares or units in open-ended undertakings for collective investment, which do not have a price quotation on a RegulatedMarket, will be valued at the actual net asset value for such shares or units as of the relevant Valuation Day, failing which theyshall be valued at the last available net asset value which is calculated prior to such Valuation Day. In the case where events haveoccurred which have resulted in a material change in the net asset value of such shares or units since the last net asset value wascalculated, the value of such shares or units may be adjusted at their fair value in order to reflect, in the reasonable opinion of theBoard of Directors, such change;

2. the value of securities (including a share or unit in a closed-ended undertaking for collective investment and in an exchangetraded fund) and/or financial derivative instruments which are listed and with a price quoted on any official stock exchange ortraded on any other organised market at the closing price. Where such securities or other assets are quoted or dealt in or on morethan one stock exchange or other organised markets, the Board of Directors shall select the principal of such stock exchanges ormarkets for such purposes;

3. shares or units in undertakings for collective investment the issue or redemption of which is restricted and in respect of which asecondary market is maintained by dealers who, as principal market-makers, offer prices in response to market conditions maybe valued by the Board of Directors in line with such prices;

4. the value of any cash on hand or on deposit, bills and demand notes and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, cash dividendsand interest declared or accrued as aforesaid and not yet received shall be deemed to be the full amount thereof, unless in anycase the same is unlikely to be paid or received in full, in which case the value thereof shall be arrived at afier making suchdiscount as the Board of Directors may consider appropriate in such case to reflect the true value thereof;

5. the financial derivative instruments which are not listed on any official stock exchange or traded on any other organised marketwill be valued in a reliable and verifiable manner on a daily basis and verified by a competent professional appointed by theCompany;

6. swap contracts will be valued according to generally accepted valuation rules that can be verified by auditors. Asset based swapcontracts will be valued by reference to the market value of the underlying assets. Cash flow based swap contracts will be valuedby reference to the net present value of the underlying future cash flows;

7. the value of any security or other asset which is dealt principally on a market made among professional dealers and institutionalinvestors shall be determined by reference to the last available price;

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

8. any assets or liabilities in currencies other than the relevant currency of the Subfund concerned will be converted using therelevant spot rate quoted by a bank or other responsible financial institution;

9. in the event that any of the securities held in the Company portfolio on the relevant day are not listed on any stock exchange ortraded on any organised market or if with respect to securities listed on any stock exchange or traded on any other organisedmarket, the price as determined pursuant to sub-paragraph (2) is not, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, representative ofthe fair market value of the relevant securities, the value of such securities will be determined prudently and in good faith basedon the reasonably foreseeable sales price or any other appropriate valuation principles;

10. in the event that the above mentioned calculation methods are inappropriate or misleading, the Board of Directors may adopt tothe extent such valuation principles are in the best interests of the shareholders any other appropriate valuation principles for theassets of the Company; and

11. in circumstances where the interests of the Company or its shareholders so justify (avoidance of market timing practices, forexample), the Board of Directors may take any appropriate measures, such as applying a fair value pricing methodology to adjustthe value of the Company's assets.

The consolidated accounts of the Company for the purpose of its financial reports shall be expressed in USD.

The Subfunds are single priced and may suffer a reduction in value as a result of the transaction costs incurred in the purchase andsale of its underlying investments and the spread between the buying and selling prices of such investments caused by subscriptions,switches and/or redemptions in and out of a Subfi ind.

This is known as “dilution”. In order to counter this and to protect shareholders’ interests, the Company may apply a technique knownas swing pricing as part of its valuation policy. The use of such technique for a given Subfund will (if applicable) be disclosed in theSubfund particulars. This will mean that in certain circumstances the Company will make adjustments in the calculations of the NetAsset Values per share, to counter the impact of dealing and other costs on occasions when these are deemed to be significant.
