Report of the Directors

The Directors have pleasure in submitting the Annual Report together with the Audited Financial Statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2020.

Principal Activities

Insight Liquidity Funds PLC (the “Company”) is an investment company with variable capital organised under the laws of the Republic of Ireland. The Company is authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”) as an Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (“UCITS”) in accordance with the provisions of the European Communities (UCITS) Regulations 2011 (the “UCITS Regulations”) and the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2019 (the “Central Bank UCITS Regulations”). This, however, does not constitute a warranty by the Central Bank as to the financial standing or creditworthiness of the Company and the Central Bank will not be liable by virtue of its authorisation of the Company, or by reason of its exercise of the functions conferred on it by the Companies Act 2014, for the performance or default of the Company. The Company is organised in the form of an umbrella fund with segregated liability between Funds and as at 31 December 2020 had five constituent funds (each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”).

The Company may from time to time, with the prior approval of the Central Bank, obtain authorisation of one or more Funds as an Authorised Money Market Fund which shall be designed as a variable net asset value money market fund (“VNAV MMF”), a public debt constant net asset value money market fund (“Public Debt CNAV MMF”) or a low volatility net asset value money market fund (“LVNAV MMF”), as specified in Supplement for the relevant Fund.

The Sterling Liquidity Fund and Dollar Liquidity Fund are LVNAV MMFs, categorised as short-term money market funds in accordance with the Money Market Fund Regulation (EU) 2017/1131 (“MMFR”). The Euro Cash Fund is a VNAV MMF, categorised as a short-term money market fund in accordance with the MMFR. The Sterling Liquidity Plus Fund and Euro Liquidity Plus Fund are not Money Market Funds. There have been no breaches of the terms of the MMFR during the financial year.

Results and Business Review

The results for the financial year are stated on pages 35 to 41 of the Annual Report.

The development and performance of the Funds during the financial year is discussed in the Investment Manager’s Report.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Company are market price risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and interest rate risk. Further information on the Company’s risk management policies is provided in Note 9.

Changes in the UK Political Environment

In a referendum held on 23 June 2016 the electorate of the United Kingdom voted to leave the EU. This has set in motion a sustained period of uncertainty which has brought about political and economic instability and volatility in the financial markets of the United Kingdom and more broadly across the EU. Although the Brexit deal agreed on 24 December 2020 has brought about some political certainty, some aspects remain under discussion.

The extent of the impact of Brexit is still largely unknown and may depend in part upon the nature and implementation of the Brexit deal, as well as extent to which the United Kingdom intends to implement existing EU legislation.

Those decisions could materially and adversely affect the regulatory regime to which Insight Investment Funds Management Limited (the “Investment Manager”) and Insight Investment Management (Global) Limited (the “Sub- Investment Manager”) are currently subject in the United Kingdom, particularly in respect of financial services regulation and taxation.

The longer term process to implement the political, financial and legal framework that is agreed between the United Kingdom and the EU, may lead to continuing uncertainty and periods of volatility in the United Kingdom and some or all of the other 27 members of the EU (some of which are countries in which the Investment Manager and/or Sub- Investment Manager conducts business) and/or the Eurozone.

There may be detrimental implications for the value of certain of a Fund’s investments, its ability to enter into transactions, to value or realise certain of its investments or otherwise to implement its investment policy. This may be due to, among other things, increased uncertainty and volatility in the United Kingdom, EU and other financial markets, fluctuations in asset values, fluctuations in exchange rates, increased illiquidity of investments located, traded or listed within the United Kingdom, the EU or elsewhere, changes in the willingness or ability of financial and other counterparties to enter into transactions, or the price and terms on which they are prepared to transact; and/ or changes in legal and regulatory regimes to which Insight Liquidity Funds PLC (the “Company”), the Investment Manager, the Sub-Investment Manager and/or certain of a Fund’s assets are or become subject to.

The Investment Manager has a fully regulated Irish entity, Insight Investment Management (Europe) Limited (the “Manager”). The Manager’s main business is the provision of fund management services to collective investment schemes such as the Company. The Manager is authorised and supervised by the Central Bank of Ireland as a UCITS management company under the UCITS Regulations and is also authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland as an alternative investment fund manager under the European Union (Alternative Investment Fund Managers) Regulations. The Manager has been appointed as the manager of the Company pursuant to a management agreement, with power to delegate one or more of its functions, subject to the overall control of the Company, so that in the event of any regulatory changes resulting from the United Kingdom leaving the EU, the relationship between the Company and its investment manager will remain unchanged.

The Manager has delegated certain functions which include the function of investment management and distributor to the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager is a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. It is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) in the United Kingdom as an authorised fund manager of collective investment schemes. The Investment Manager has in turn, sub-delegated its investment manager function to the Sub-Investment Manager pursuant to a sub-investment management agreement. The Sub-Investment Manager is a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales which is authorised and regulated by the FCA.

In February 2019, the FCA agreed a multilateral memorandum of understanding (“MoU”) with the EU and EEA National Competent Authorities (which includes the Central Bank of Ireland) as well an MoU with the European Securities and Markets Authority (“ESMA”) which will become effective if the United Kingdom leaves the EU without an agreement. The MoU supports the cross border supervision of firms and will permit the sharing of information with EU counterparties. It is the intention that the MoUs will allow for continued close cooperation between the remaining 27 countries of the EU and the United Kingdom. The MoUs will also allow for EU fund managers (such as the Manager) to delegate portfolio management services to a UK registered manager (such as the Investment Manager) in the event that the United Kingdom leaves the EU in circumstances where it becomes designated a third country for regulatory purposes.

Future Developments

The Company will continue to act as an investment vehicle as set out in its Prospectus. A review and outlook of the Funds is included in the Investment Manager’s Report.

Events During the Financial Year

COVID-19 Developments

The outbreak of the coronavirus since the start of January 2020 has had a material impact on global financial markets and economic stability. The Management Company is following the guidance of the authorities in each relevant region, with colleagues working remotely where required. In accordance with the flexible working policy, team members are equipped with the technology and support to work remotely. All core processes can be undertaken remotely, and the IT infrastructure can support large-scale remote working in the event of disruption. The dealers have the technology to support remote working, as do the investment teams. The remote-working technologies have been designed and deployed in a way that replicates the same key system controls that are operational in the office environment. The ongoing oversight of outsourced arrangements includes a periodic review of the outsourcer’s business-continuity processes. The Board is currently satisfied with the plans of all of key providers, and continue to monitor developments closely.

• Share Certificates - the facility to issue share certificates is no longer required and accordingly, all references to these instruments were removed;

• Refusal to Register Transfers & Compulsory Repurchase or Transfer of Shares – additional grounds shall be included for consistency with the Prospectus and to ensure, inter alia, that no acquisition or share transfer may be made which would contravene the M&A, the provisions of any law (including anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing provisions) or produce a result inconsistent with any provision of the Prospectus;

• Limitations on Repurchase of Shares – new provisions were included to make clear, inter alia, that repurchase proceeds may be withheld where necessary to comply with anti-money laundering legislation and to clarify that repurchased shares are cancelled;

Supplement Update

ILF GBP Liquidity Fund, ILF USD Liquidity Fund, ILF GBP Liquidity Plus Fund and ILF EUR Liquidity Plus Fund – Change of Benchmark

On 30 September 2020, revised supplements for ILF GBP Liquidity Fund, ILF USD Liquidity Fund, ILF GBP Liquidity Plus Fund and ILF EUR liquidity Plus Fund were noted by the Central Bank of Ireland. The changes, which were notified to Shareholders in advance, were made after a review of the cash management fund range was completed in order to determine the specific impacts to each fund as the market transitions away from LIBOR to Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) and other risk free reference rates. All references to LIBOR in the fund documents were amended as stated in the table below. The GBP funds changed to reference SONIA and the USD fund changed to reference the Effective Federal Funds Rate (“EFFR”). EUR funds continue to reference EURIBID as this reference rate is unaffected by the transition, however the target for the ILF EUR Liquidity Plus Fund has changed and is referenced in the table. The changes took effect from 1 October 2020.

On 3 December 2020, Charles Farquharson retired as Non-Executive Director of Insight Liquidity Funds PLC.

There have been no other material events during the financial year which the Directors deem relevant to these Financial Statements.

Subsequent Events

Memorandum and Articles of Association Update

On 10 February 2021, the Central Bank of Ireland approved the amendments made to the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company in the updated version that was approved by Shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) on 04 February 2021. The principal amendments related to the following:

• in line with the Companies Act 2014 (the "Act"), to allow the Directors of the Company to take the below action at their discretion, without the need to obtain approval of shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution:

• consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount; and

• subject to the provisions of the Act, subdivide its shares, or any of them, into shares of smaller amount or value, (and so that the resolution whereby any share is sub-divided may determine that, as between the holders of the shares resulting from such sub-division, one or more of the shares may have, as compared with the others, any such preferred, deferred or other rights or be subject to any such restrictions as the Company has power to attach to unissued or new shares).

The above change has made in order to prepare for a potential negative yield environment, that may impact the money market funds of the Company ("MMFs"). The change, which brings the provision into line with current market practice, amongst others, allows the Directors to react quickly to the need to consolidate the shares of a MMF on a conversion of the shares from an income to accumulation distribution policy. In such circumstances, a conversion might be required to ensure that the Net Asset Value per Share of a MMF can be calculated with the necessary precision to show the daily accumulation of positive or negative income.

On 10 February 2021, the Supplements for the ILF GBP Liquidity Fund and the ILF USD Liquidity Fund were updated to provide for the ability of the Directors to consolidate a class of existing Stable Net Asset Value Shares (as defined in the Supplement for the relevant Fund such that their base will move from £/USD 1.00 per Shares to £/USD 100 per Share upon advance notice to Shareholders, where practicable.

Directors’ Compliance Statement

The Directors, in accordance with Section 225(2) of the Companies Act 2014, acknowledge that they are responsible for securing the Company’s compliance with certain obligations specified in that section arising from the Companies Act 2014 and Tax laws (“relevant obligations”). The Directors confirm that:

• a compliance policy statement has been drawn up setting out the Company’s policies with regard to such compliance;

• appropriate arrangements and structures that, in their opinion, are designed to secure material compliance with the Company’s relevant obligations, have been put in place; and

• a review has been conducted, during the financial year, of the arrangements and structures that have been put in place to secure the Company's compliance with its relevant obligations.

Audit committee

There are no committees of the Board in existence. The Directors are aware of section 167 of the Companies Act 2014 which requires certain companies to establish an audit committee. For the financial year ending 31 December 2020, the Directors confirm that they did not establish an audit committee due to the fact that the responsibilities of the audit committee as outlined in section 167 are already carried out by the Board such that establishing a separate committee of the Board was determined not to be necessary.

Statement on Relevant Audit Information

In accordance with Section 332 of the Companies Act 2014 each of the persons who are Directors at the time the report is approved confirm the following:

1) so far as the Director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company’s statutory auditors are unaware; and

2) the Director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a Director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company’s statutory auditors are aware of that information.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’ Report and Financial Statements, in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law 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 Irish Law and FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

Under company law the Directors must not approve the Financial Statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company and of its increase in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable participating shares for that year. In preparing the 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; • access the Company’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 Company 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 profit or loss of the Company and enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Companies Act 2014, the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011 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 Company. In this regard they have entrusted the assets of the Company to a trustee 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 Companies Act 2014.

Independent Auditors

The auditors, KPMG, Chartered Accountants, have indicated their willingness to continue in office in accordance with Section 383 of the Companies Act 2014.

Corporate Governance Code

Irish Funds, the association for the funds industry in Ireland, has published a corporate governance code (the “Code”) that may be adopted on a voluntary basis by Irish authorised collective investment schemes. The Board of Directors has adopted the Code, and the Company was in compliance with all elements of the Code during the financial year.

Sterling Liquidity FundInvestment Manager’s Report (Unaudited)For the financial year ended 31 December 2020

Market overview The rapid spread of the coronavirus, and measures to contain it, dominated financial markets throughout the first quarter of 2020. Mass lockdowns led to significant market volatility and a temporary decline in liquidity. The Bank of England cut rates by 60bp and injected £200bn of quantitative easing into the market. The UK government also announced extensive measures to support businesses and individuals, including boosting benefits and the funding of new loans. Fitch Ratings downgraded the United Kingdom's Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings to 'AA-' from 'AA', with a negative outlook.

During the second quarter, the UK government instructed the Debt Management Office (“DMO”) to ramp up its new issuance programme. Gilt investors displayed high demand for the issuance. In May, the DMO issued its first-ever negative-yielding bond: the 3-year gilt was issued at a yield of -0.03%.

The Bank of England kept rates on hold through the third quarter but noted in its meeting minutes that negative rates had been discussed. Policymakers hinted that rates would stay low until inflation reached the central bank’s 2% target. Annual inflation (as measured by the Consumer Prices Index) fell to its lowest level since 2015, dropping from 1% in July to 0.2% in August. Worries that a resurgence of COVID-19 would put more pressure on the UK economy were reflected in equity markets; UK stocks underperformed global peers over the quarter. Political risks increased late in the quarter, as the UK government announced details of its Internal Market Bill.

Throughout the fourth quarter, the Bank of England (“BoE”) held its key bank rate at 0.1%. During November, the BoE increased the size of its asset purchase program by £150 billion to £875 billion. Due to the discovery of a new, quicker spreading, variant of COVID-19 and the upcoming Brexit transition, the BoE made the decision to avoid further policy changes at the end of the year. The UK and EU finally came to a Brexit trade agreement shortly before the end of the year. This meant that the UK avoided having to comply with the more onerous regime of the World Trade Organization. Sterling rallied sharply.

The 1-month sterling Libor rate fell, beginning the period at 0.70% and ending at 0.02%. The 3-month Libor rate began the year at 0.79% and fell to 0.03% by the end of the period. Short-dated gilts yields also fell over the period. The 2-year gilt yield fell from 0.55% to -0.16%, while the 5-year fell from 0.58% to -0.08% by the end of the period.

Portfolio review The Fund returned 0.33% gross of fees over the period under review versus the SONIA return of 0.09%. The Fund’s duration and yield-curve positioning relative to the benchmark were positive for returns. Fund strategy was unchanged during the period, remaining focused on security and liquidity. Trading focused largely on highly liquid, short-dated instruments.

The Fund primarily made additions to the certificates of deposit and commercial paper portfolio from bank issuers. The Fund also traded very short-dated gilts during the period under review, as well as buying bonds issued by CDC, KfW and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. It also bought floating rate notes from issuers including the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Euroclear, JPMorgan, Rabobank, Royal Bank of Canada, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The weighted average maturity of the Fund was 34 days at the beginning of the period and rose to 50 days at the end of the year.

OutlookThe stringent lockdowns enacted across the UK in December to curb the new variant of COVID-19 are likely to dampen economic activity levels later in the year. Although a Brexit deal has been reached, the lack of provision for the services sector represents another risk.

Sterling Liquidity Plus FundInvestment Manager’s Report (Unaudited)For the financial year ended 31 December 2020

17

Market overview The rapid spread of the coronavirus, and measures to contain it, dominated financial markets throughout the first quarter of 2020. Mass lockdowns led to significant market volatility and a temporary decline in liquidity. The Bank of England cut rates by 60bp and injected £200bn of quantitative easing into the market. The UK government also announced extensive measures to support businesses and individuals, including boosting benefits and the funding of new loans. Fitch Ratings downgraded the United Kingdom's Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings to 'AA-' from 'AA', with a negative outlook.

During the second quarter, the UK government instructed the Debt Management Office (“DMO”) to ramp up its new issuance programme. Gilt investors displayed high demand for this issuance. In May, the DMO issued its first-ever negative-yielding bond: the 3-year gilt was issued at a yield of -0.03%.

The Bank of England kept rates on hold through the third quarter but noted in its meeting minutes that negative rates had been discussed. Policymakers hinted that rates would stay low until inflation reached the central bank’s 2% target. Annual inflation (as measured by the Consumer Prices Index) fell to its lowest level since 2015, dropping from 1% in July to 0.2% in August. Worries that a resurgence of COVID-19 would put more pressure on the UK economy were reflected in equity markets; UK stocks underperformed global peers over the quarter. Political risks increased late in the quarter, as the UK government announced details of its Internal Market Bill.

Throughout the fourth quarter, the Bank of England (“BoE”) held its key bank rate at 0.1%. During November, the BoE increased the size of its asset purchase program by £150 billion to £875 billion. Due to the discovery of a new, more quicker spreading, variant of COVID-19 and the upcoming Brexit transition, the BoE made the decision to avoid further policy changes at the end of the year. The UK and EU finally came to a Brexit trade agreement shortly before the end of the year. This meant that the UK avoided having to comply with the more onerous regime of the World Trade Organization. Sterling rallied sharply.

The 1-month sterling Libor rate fell, beginning the period at 0.70% and ending at 0.02%. The 3-month Libor rate began the year at 0.79% and fell to 0.03% by the end of the period. Short-dated gilts yields also fell over the period. The 2-year gilt yield fell from 0.55% to -0.16%, while the 5-year fell from 0.58% to -0.08% by the end of the period.

Portfolio review The Fund returned 0.80% gross of fees over the period under review versus the SONIA return of 0.20%. Asset allocation and yield curve positioning both proved positive for the fund return against benchmark over the review period. Whilst the liquidity crisis in March saw spreads on ABS and Senior Bank debt widen, as markets normalised these tightened to levels seen pre-crisis, justifying our decision to maintain holdings. Overall fund strategy was unchanged during the period, remaining focused on security and liquidity: trading focused largely on highly liquid, short to medium-dated instruments.

The Fund primarily made additions to the certificates of deposit and commercial paper portfolio from bank issuers. The Fund also made selected additions to the floating rate notes portfolio including issues from Santander UK, ECARA, Unifunds, National Australia Bank, Royal Bank of Canada and Canada Square, BPCE, Brunel, Perma, Lloyds Banking, Nationwide, HSBC, Gosforth Funding, the European Investment Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The Fund also bought fixed rate bonds from issuers including Svenska Handelsbanken, UBS, ING, European Investment Bank, National Australia Bank, Toronto-Dominion Bank, BNG and Swedbank. The weighted average maturity of the Fund was 69 days at the beginning of the period and rose to 102 days by the end of the year.

Outlook The stringent lockdowns enacted across the UK in December to curb the new variant of COVID-19 are likely to dampen economic activity levels later in the year. Although a Brexit deal has been reached, the lack of provision for the services sector represents another risk.

Dollar Liquidity FundInvestment Manager’s Report (Unaudited)For the financial year ended 31 December 2020

24

Market overview The rapid spread of the coronavirus, and measures to contain it, dominated financial markets throughout the first quarter of 2020. Mass lockdowns led to significant market volatility and a temporary decline in liquidity. US policymakers introduced a $2tn fiscal stimulus package. Highlights of the package included grants to small businesses, as well as credit provisions to investment grade companies. The US Federal Reserve (“Fed”) cut policy rates by 1.5% and restarted its quantitative asset purchase programme with a broader scope and no upper limit, with Fed chairman Jerome Powell stating the central bank is “not going to run out of ammunition”.

The financial response to the COVID-19 pandemic dominated markets over the second quarter. US COVID-19 case numbers continued to rise. Infections spiked in June after bars and other public places were reopened. Southern and eastern states such as Texas, Florida, California and Arizona saw some of the highest rates of infection.

The US Federal Reserve kept rates on hold over the third quarter but signalled a new approach to inflation. Policymakers are in favour of a new 2% average inflation target, which gives leeway for inflation to move above that level without rates being raised. With the US presidential election approaching, Donald Trump continued to trail Democratic nominee Joe Biden in opinion polls. An indication from the president that he might not transfer power smoothly if defeated unsettled investors.

The Fed held the federal funds rate at 0.25% throughout the fourth quarter. The Fed announced that it would continue with its purchases of at least $80 billion of Treasury securities and $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities per month until “substantial” economic progress had been made. In November, Joe Biden was elected to become the 46th president of the United States. Markets were reassured that there was a clear, rather than contested, outcome to the election. After protracted negotiations between Republicans and Democrats, Congress approved a $900 billion fiscal stimulus bill to help combat the continuing adverse effects of the pandemic on the US economy (with initial jobless claims still at almost 800,000). The US dollar fell markedly against most major currencies as investors increasingly anticipated a global economic recovery once widescale vaccinations lead to a return to normality.

In money markets, the 1-month dollar Libor rate fell from 1.76% to 0.14% and the 3-month rate fell from 1.91% to 0.24% over the twelve months.

Portfolio review The Fund returned 0.55% gross of fees over the period under review versus the Effective Federal Funds Rate return of 0.35% (the fund switched to this benchmark in October 2020). The Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning relative to the benchmark were positive for returns.

With interest rates set to remain at ultra-low levels for the foreseeable future (unless inflation notably picks up), Fund activity was limited to very short-dated assets. The Fund added certificates of deposit and commercial paper from OP Corporate Bank and United Overseas Bank. The weighted average maturity of the Fund was 20 days at the beginning of the period and fell to 18 days by the end of the year.

Outlook Following Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election, political risks remain if a peaceful transfer of power does not take place. Although the US Fed has provided unprecedented support to markets, the COVID-19 crisis still represents a substantial risk to growth – not least due to the practical and ideological barriers to widespread vaccination.

Euro Cash FundInvestment Manager’s Report (Unaudited)For the financial year ended 31 December 2020

27

Market overview The rapid spread of the coronavirus, and measures to contain it, dominated financial markets throughout the first quarter of 2020. Mass lockdowns led to significant market volatility and a temporary decline in liquidity. By the end of the quarter, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) had revised its initial modest response to the outbreak and announced a €750billion Pandemic Bond Buying Programme. Additional stimulus also started at a national level, although discussions on mutual debt issuance - so-called “Coronabonds” – initially met resistance from the likes of Germany.

In the second quarter, European policymakers expanded the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme in June, committing to buy a further £600bn in bonds. The scheme was also extended until 2021. France and Germany proposed an EU-wide recovery fund worth €500bn, which would see a transfer of wealth from core to ‘peripheral’ European countries, such as Italy and Spain.

In the third quarter, on the political front, regional elections in Italy resulted in a disappointing showing for Matteo Salvini’s anti-EU party, the Northern League. This lowered political risk in Italy and sent Italian government bond yields to record lows.

In the fourth quarter, the ECB held interest rates at 0% with a deposit rate of -0.5% over the quarter. It added another €500 billion to its Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme, taking it to €1.85 trillion; it also extended the scheme until March 2022.

Economic data in the eurozone continued to recover despite the imposition of renewed lockdown restrictions in many countries towards the end of the quarter as Covid-19 cases continued to rise.

However, deflation continued in the eurozone as consumer prices fell 0.3% year-on-year in November. With investor risk appetite improving, sovereign bonds in peripheral European countries such as Italy and Spain outperformed those in Germany and France.

In money markets, the 1-month Euribor rate decreased from -0.44% to -0.55% and the 3-month rate also decreased from -0.38% to -0.55%.

Portfolio review The Fund returned -0.48% gross of fees over the period under review versus the 7-day euro Libid return of -0.65%. Asset allocation and yield curve positioning both proved positive for the fund return against benchmark over the review period. Whilst the liquidity crisis in March saw spreads on ABS and Senior Bank debt widen, as markets normalised these tightened to levels seen pre-crisis, justifying our decision to maintain holdings.The Fund primarily focused on additions to the short-dated certificates of deposit and commercial paper portfolio with issuance from a wide range of issuers including Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Nordea, Svenska Handelsbanken, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Credit Suisse, Zurich Cantonal Bank, First Abu Dhabi Bank, SAGESS and Axa. The Fund also added floating-rate notes from ING and Euroclear, along with fixed-rate bonds from ING, Toronto Dominion Bank and Swedbank. The weighted average maturity of the Fund was 36 days at the beginning of the period and rose to 51 days by the end of the year.Outlook The ECB has reiterated its commitment to maintain fiscal and monetary policy support. Despite this, bouts of volatility are likely as the roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine will take time. The EU-wide recovery has provided much-needed support to peripheral Europe, tightening spreads versus German Bunds. This support should help anchor peripheral spreads going forward.

Euro Liquidity Plus FundInvestment Manager’s Report (Unaudited)For the financial year ended 31 December 2020

31

Market overview The rapid spread of the coronavirus, and measures to contain it, dominated financial markets throughout the first quarter of 2020. Mass lockdowns led to significant market volatility and a temporary decline in liquidity. By the end of the quarter, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) had revised its initial modest response to the outbreak and announced a €750billion Pandemic Bond Buying Programme. Additional stimulus also started at a national level, although discussions on mutual debt issuance - so-called “Coronabonds” – initially met resistance from the likes of Germany.

In the second quarter, European policymakers expanded the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme in June, committing to buy a further £600bn in bonds. The scheme was also extended until 2021. France and Germany proposed an EU-wide recovery fund worth €500bn, which would see a transfer of wealth from core to ‘peripheral’ European countries, such as Italy and Spain.

In the third quarter, on the political front, regional elections in Italy resulted in a disappointing showing for Matteo Salvini’s anti-EU party, the Northern League. This lowered political risk in Italy and sent Italian government bond yields to record lows.

In the fourth quarter, the ECB held interest rates at 0% with a deposit rate of -0.5% over the quarter. It added another €500 billion to its Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme, taking it to €1.85 trillion; it also extended the scheme until March 2022.

Economic data in the Eurozone continued to recover despite the imposition of renewed lockdown restrictions in many countries towards the end of the quarter as COVID-19 cases continued to rise.

However, deflation continued in the Eurozone as consumer prices fell 0.3% year-on-year in November. With investor risk appetite improving, sovereign bonds in peripheral European countries such as Italy and Spain outperformed those in Germany and France.

In money markets, the 1-month Euribor rate decreased from -0.44% to -0.55% and the 3-month rate also decreased from -0.38% to -0.55%.

Portfolio review The Fund returned -0.19% gross of fees over the period under review versus the 3-month Euribid return of -0.54%. Spread tightening over 2020 was beneficial for performance.

The Fund added to the certificates of deposit and commercial paper portfolio from issuers including Barclays, Svenska Handelsbanken, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Credit Suisse, Banque Populaire and SAGESS. The Fund also added to the floating rate notes portfolio with issuance from a wide range of issuers including JPMorgan Chase, Credit Suisse, DZ Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia, HSBC, DNB, Deutsche Bank, Volkswagen Car Lease and Groupe BPCE. The Fund also added fixed rate bonds from Swedbank, ING, Toronto Dominion Bank, HSBC, Deutsche Bahn and UBS. The weighted average maturity of the Fund was 82 days at the beginning of the period and fell to 69 days by the end of the year.

Outlook The ECB has reiterated its commitment to maintain fiscal and monetary policy support. Despite this, bouts of volatility are likely as the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine will take time. The EU-wide recovery has provided much-needed support to peripheral Europe, tightening spreads versus German Bunds. This support should help anchor peripheral spreads going forward.

General

Insight Liquidity Funds PLC (the “Company”) was incorporated on 3 December 2002 under the laws of the Republic of Ireland as an investment company with variable capital. The Company is authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”) as an Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (“UCITS”) in accordance with the provisions of the European Communities (UCITS) Regulations 2011 (the “UCITS Regulations”) and the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2019 (the “Central Bank UCITS Regulations”). The Company is structured as an open-ended umbrella fund, in that different classes of Shares (each allocated to a particular fund (each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”)) may be issued from time to time by direction of the Directors with the approval of the Central Bank. Each Fund may issue several sub-classes of Shares whose respective rights may differ in that different fee structures may be applicable to each sub-classes. The assets of each Fund will be separate from one another and will be invested separately in accordance with the investment objectives and policies of each Fund. There is segregated liability between the Funds.

As at 31 December 2020, the Company has five funds, namely Sterling Liquidity Fund, Sterling Liquidity Plus Fund, Dollar Liquidity Fund, Euro Cash Fund and Euro Liquidity Plus Fund. Other funds may be established from time to time.

The Company may from time to time, with the prior approval of the Central Bank, obtain authorisation of one or more Funds as an Authorised Money Market Fund which shall be designed as a variable net asset value money market fund (“VNAV MMF”), a public debt constant net asset value money market fund (“Public Debt CNAV MMF”) or a low volatility net asset value money market fund (“LVNAV MMF”), as specified in Supplement for the relevant Fund.

The Sterling Liquidity Fund and Dollar Liquidity Fund are LVNAV MMFs, categorised as short-term money market funds in accordance with the Money Market Fund Regulation (EU) 2017/1131 (“MMFR”). The Euro Cash Fund is a VNAV MMF, categorised as a short-term money market fund in accordance with the MMFR. The Sterling Liquidity Plus Fund and Euro Liquidity Plus Fund are not Money Market Funds. There have been no breaches of the terms of the MMFR during the financial year.

As at 31 December 2020, shares have been issued in Share Classes 1*, 2*, 3*, 4, 5*, 6* and 7 of the Sterling Liquidity Fund, Share Classes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5* of the Sterling Liquidity Plus Fund, Share Classes 2*, 3* and 4 of the Dollar Liquidity Fund, Share Classes 2*, 3*, 6*, 7 and 8 of the Euro Cash Fund and Share Classes 2 and 6* of the Euro Liquidity Plus Fund.

*Distributing share classes.

The Sterling Liquidity Fund commenced operations on 2 January 2003, the Sterling Liquidity Plus Fund commenced operations on 17 December 2004, the Dollar Liquidity Fund commenced operations on 21 March 2005, the Euro Cash Fund commenced operations on 6 September 2012 and the Euro Liquidity Plus Fund commenced operations on 6 December 2018.

i) Basis of Preparation

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and these Financial Statements comply with that standard and Irish statute comprising the Companies Acts 2014, the UCITS Regulations and the Central Bank UCITS Regulations.

The Financial Statements have been prepared on a fair value basis for financial assets and liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with the Fair Value Regulations. All other assets and liabilities are stated at amortised cost or redemption amount (“redeemable shares”).

The Company meets all the conditions set out in FRS 102, Section 7, and consequently has availed of the exemption available to the Funds not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

43

For the purposes of producing the combined Company Total Financial Statements, investments by Funds within the Company in the shares of other Funds within the Company, also known as cross investments, must be eliminated in order to prevent double counting. In preparing the combined Statement of Financial Position, the value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of the Company is reduced by the value of all cross investments held as at 31 December 2020. In preparing the combined Statement of Comprehensive Income, the net gain/(loss) on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, is reduced by the amount of realised and unrealised gains and losses and distributions earned during the financial year on cross investments. In preparing the combined Statement of Change in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares, the combined total is reduced for subscriptions/redemptions between cross investments.

The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The Financial Statements have been prepared for the financial year ended 31 December 2020.

ii) Financial Instruments

Classification

The Company has chosen to implement the recognition and measurement provisions of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and only the disclosure requirements of FRS 102 relating to Basic Financial Instruments and Other Financial Instruments.

Fair value disclosures

The category of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprises:

- Financial instruments held for trading. These include Bonds, Investment funds, Asset backed securities, Mortgage backed securities, Floating rate notes, Certificates of deposit, Commercial paper and all Derivative Financial Instruments (as each Fund does not designate any derivatives as financial hedges), such as Futures and Forward foreign currency contracts, and liabilities from short sales of financial instruments. All derivatives in a net receivable position (positive fair value) are reported as financial assets held for trading. All derivatives in a net payable position (negative fair value) are reported as financial liabilities held for trading.

- Financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. These include financial assets that are not held for trading purposes and which may be sold. As at 31 December 2020 and at 31 December 2019, the Company did not hold any of these instruments.

Financial liabilities that are not at fair value through the profit or loss include balances due to brokers, capital shares redeemable payable, securities purchased payable, expenses payable and financial liabilities arising on redeemable shares. Financial assets that are not at fair value through profit or loss include cash, income receivable, capital shares sold receivable, securities sold receivable, reverse repurchase agreements and other debtors.

Recognition

Purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognised on trade date - the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. A financial liability is derecognised when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

Measurement

Financial instruments are measured initially at fair value (transaction price).

Subsequent to initial recognition, all instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

i) Basis of Preparation (Continued)

Page 46: INSIGHT LIQUIDITY FUNDS PLC

Insight Liquidity Funds PLC

Statement of Accounting Policies (Continued)

44

Financial assets and liabilities, other than those at fair value through the profit or loss, are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate. Financial liabilities arising from redeemable participating shares issued by the Company are carried at redemption amount representing the investor’s right to a residual interest in the Company’s assets.

Transaction Costs

Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or liability. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the entity had not acquired, issued or disposed of the financial instrument. When a financial asset or liability is recognised initially, the Company shall measure it at its fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are expensed immediately through the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Transaction costs on the purchase and sale of investment funds, transferable securities, forward foreign currency contracts, money markets instruments and futures are included in the purchase and sale price of the investment. They cannot be practically or reliably gathered as they are embedded in the cost of the investment and cannot be separately verified or disclosed.

Fair Value Measurement Principles

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 on the measurement date.

When available, the Company measures the fair value of an instrument using quoted prices in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available and represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

If a market for a financial instrument is not active, then the Company establishes fair value using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques include using recent arm’s length transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties (if available), reference to the current fair value of other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analyses and option pricing models. The chosen valuation technique makes maximum use of market inputs, relies as little as possible on estimates specific to the Company, incorporates all factors that market participants would consider in setting a price, and is consistent with accepted economic methodologies for pricing financial instruments. Inputs to valuation techniques reasonably represent market expectations and measures of the risk-return factors inherent in the financial instrument. The Company calibrates valuation techniques and tests them for validity using prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on other available observable market data.

Financial instruments held for trading are marked-to-market, though for some of the short term assets where a market price is not available these are valued at amortised cost. Under this method, each Fund’s financial instruments are valued at their acquisition cost as adjusted for amortisation of premium or accretion of discount. Due to the nature of the financial instruments, this method is deemed equivalent to the fair value.

If the Directors believe that the amortised cost deviates from the fair value approximation and may result in material dilution or other unfair results to Shareholders, the Directors shall take such corrective action, if any, as they deem appropriate to eliminate or reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, the dilution or unfair results.

The Directors shall continually assess this method of valuation and recommend changes, where necessary, to ensure that each Fund’s held for trading investments will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Directors.

The fair value of derivatives that are not exchange-traded is estimated at the amount that the Fund would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the Statement of Financial Position date taking into account current market conditions (volatility, appropriate yield curve) and current creditworthiness of the counterparties.

45

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise. The computation of realised gains and losses on sales of investments is made on a first-in-first-out basis for all Funds with the exception of Sterling Liquidity Plus Fund and Euro Liquidity Plus Fund which are calculated at an average book cost.

The unrealised gain or loss on forward foreign currency contracts is calculated by reference to the difference between the contracted rate and the rate to close out the contract. Realised gains or losses include net gains or losses on contracts which have been settled or offset by other contracts.

For open futures contracts, changes in the value of the contract are recognised as unrealised gains or losses by “marking to market” the value of the contract at the Statement of Financial Position date based on quoted exchange prices. When the contract is closed, the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the original transaction is recorded as a realised gain or loss.

Amortised Cost

When the Company purchases a financial asset and simultaneously enters into an agreement to resell the same or substantially similar asset at a fixed price on a future date (“reverse repo”), the arrangement is accounted for as a loan and receivable, recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as receivables from reverse repurchase agreements, and the underlying asset is not recognised in the Company’s Financial Statements.

When the Company sells a financial asset and simultaneously enters into an agreement to repurchase the same or substantially similar asset at a fixed price on a future date (“repo”), the arrangement is accounted for as a borrowing, recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as payables under repurchase agreements, and the underlying asset continues to be recognised in the Company’s Financial Statements.

Receivables from reverse repurchase agreements and payables under repurchase agreements are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Securities borrowed by the Company are not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position. If the Company subsequently sells all the borrowed securities, the arrangement is accounted for as a short sold position, recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, classified as held for trading and measured at fair value through profit or loss. Securities lent by the Company are not derecognised from the Company’s Statement of Financial Position. When the counterparty has the rights to sell or repledge the securities, the Company reclassifies them in the Statement of Financial Position as pledged financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

iii) Distribution Policy

Dividends are declared on each dealing day for all distributing classes for both the Dollar Liquidity Fund and the Sterling Liquidity Fund. Dividends payable on redeemable shares are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as finance costs. Net income is distributed on these classes. The net income for this purpose shall consist of interest and income earned by the Company and realised and unrealised gains on the disposal/valuation of investments as may be lawfully distributed less realised and unrealised losses (including fees and expenses) of the Company.

For the Sterling Liquidity Plus Fund Class 5 Shares are Distributing Shares, for the Euro Cash Fund Class 2, Class 3 and Class 6 Shares are Distributing Shares and for the Euro Liquidity Plus Fund Class 6 Shares are Distributing Shares. Accordingly, it is the intention that dividends will be distributed on the last day of every month from the net income attributable to each Class. It is intended to distribute all such net income that is eligible for distribution.

Dividends payable to Shareholders will be re-invested each month by subscription for additional shares of the same class in the relevant Fund, unless Shareholders specifically request that dividends be paid. Different levels of dividend may be declared and paid on each class of shares. Additional shares will be issued to Shareholders at a price calculated in the same way as for other issues of the relevant class of share on the same date.

Accumulating share classes carry no right to any dividend. The net income attributable to these shares shall be retained within the relevant Fund and will be reflected in the Net Asset Value of the shares.

Distributions for the financial year and the prior financial year are disclosed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on page 35 and 36.

iv) Shares

All redeemable participating shares issued by the Company provide the investors with the right to require redemption for cash at the value proportionate to the investor’s share in the relevant Fund’s net assets at the redemption date. In accordance with FRS 102 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, such instruments give rise to a financial liability for the present value of the redemption amount.

v) Cash at Bank

Cash at bank comprises deposits and overdrafts with banks and highly liquid financial assets with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their value, these are used by the Company in the management of short-term commitments. This excludes cash collateral and margin cash provided in respect of derivatives, securities sold short and securities borrowing transactions.

vi) Collateral Cash

Collateral cash represents the minimum deemed by counterparties for collateral requirements for over-the-counter financial derivative instruments. Cash received as collateral is recorded as an asset on the Statement of Financial Position. Collateral cash is restricted and is reported separately to the unrestricted cash on the Company’s Statement of Financial Position. The Company discloses the market value of securities and cash pledged and received as collateral by the Funds in Note 10 on page 73.

vii) Income

Bank interest income and expenses are accrued on a daily basis. Interest on investments is accounted for on an effective yield basis and is included in the net movement in fair value of financial assets held for trading in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Interest income or interest expense includes the amortisation of any discount or premium, transaction costs or other differences between the initial carrying amount of an interest bearing instrument and its amount at maturity calculated on an effective interest rate basis. Interest on reverse repurchase agreements is accrued on a daily basis and is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

viii) Foreign Currency

The functional currency of the Company is Sterling, as the Directors have determined that this reflects the Company’s primary economic environment as the majority of the Company’s investments are Sterling denominated. The presentation currency of the Company is also Sterling, with Euro, US Dollar and Sterling being the base currencies of individual Funds. For each Fund, transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign currency exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the foreign currency closing exchange rate ruling at the dates that the values were determined. Foreign currency exchange differences relating to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are included in the realised net gain/loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and change in unrealised net gain/loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. All other foreign currency exchange differences relating to monetary items, including cash are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

In order to present combined totals for the Company, assets and liabilities in foreign currencies for each of the Funds are translated into Sterling at the rates prevailing at the financial year end date. Transactions which occurred during the financial year are translated into Sterling at the average rate for the financial year. A foreign exchange adjustment arises on combination as disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Shares from the re-translation of the opening net assets at the financial year end exchange rate. The method of translation has no effect on the value of the net assets allocated to the individual Funds.

iii) Distribution Policy (Continued)

ix) Expenses

Expenses are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis.

x) Taxation

The Company is an investment undertaking as defined in Section 739B of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997. Therefore, the Company will not be liable to Irish tax in respect of its income and gains, other than on the occurrence of a chargeable event. A chargeable event includes any distribution payments to shareholders or any encashment, redemption or transfer of shares or the ending of a “Relevant Period” for which the investment was held.

A Relevant Period is an eight year period beginning with the acquisition of the shares by the Shareholder and each subsequent period of eight years beginning immediately after the preceding Relevant Period.

A gain on a chargeable event does not arise in respect of:

a) a Shareholder who is not an Irish resident and not ordinarily resident in Ireland at the time of the chargeable event, provided the necessary signed statutory declarations are held by the Company;

b) certain exempted Irish tax resident Investors who have provided the Company with the necessary signed statutory declarations;

c) an exchange of Shares arising on a qualifying amalgamation or reconstruction of the Company with another fund;

d) any transactions in relation to Shares held in a recognised clearing system as designated by order of the Revenue Commissioners of Ireland;

e) certain exchanges of Shares between spouses and former spouses on the occasion of judicial separation and/or divorce;

f) an exchange by a Shareholder, effected by way of an arm’s length bargain where no payment is made to the Shareholder of Shares in the Company for other Shares in the Company.

Capital gains, dividends and interest (if any) received on investments made by the Company may be subject to withholding taxes imposed by the country from which the investment income/gains are received and such taxes may not be recoverable by the Company or its Shareholders.

In the absence of an appropriate declaration, the Company will be liable for Irish tax on the occurrence of a chargeable event, and the Company reserves its right to withhold such taxes from the relevant Shareholders.

There were no chargeable events during the financial year under review.

xi) Use of Estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the financial year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

xii) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

xiii) Impairment

Financial assets that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed at each Statement of Financial Position date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such indication exists, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

Page 50: INSIGHT LIQUIDITY FUNDS PLC

Insight Liquidity Funds PLC

Statement of Accounting Policies (Continued)

48

If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss recognised on a financial asset carried at amortised cost decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the write-down, the write-down is reversed through the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

There was no impairment necessary during the financial year ended 31 December 2020 or during the previous financial year.

xiv) Cross Holdings Within the Company

A Fund may also invest in other funds within the Company. Each Portfolio and Schedule of Investments shows investments held in other funds of Insight Liquidity Funds PLC as at 31 December 2020. For the purpose of producing the combined Company total Financial Statements, investments by Funds within the Company in the shares of other funds within the Company, also known as “Cross Investments”, must be eliminated in order to prevent double counting. In preparing the Combined Company Total Statement of Financial Position, the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of the Company is reduced by the fair value of all Cross Investments as at the financial year end. In preparing the combined Company Total Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Net gain/(loss) on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is reduced by the amount of realised and unrealised gains and losses earned during the financial year on Cross Investments. In preparing the combined Statement of Change in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares, the Combined Total is reduced for subscriptions/redemptions between cross investments.

3. Share Capital

The Company has a variable share capital. The authorised share capital of the Company is 1,000,000,000,000 shares of no par value initially designated as unclassified shares. The unclassified shares are available for issue as Shares. The issue price is payable in full on acceptance. There are no rights of pre-emption attaching to the Shares in the Company. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Variation of Rights

The rights attached to any class may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths in number of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class, and may be so varied or abrogated either whilst the Company is a going concern or during or in contemplation of a winding-up.

Voting Rights

Subject to disenfranchisement in the event of non-compliance with any notice requiring disclosure of the beneficial ownership of shares and subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, on a show of hands at a general meeting or class meeting of the Company, every Shareholder holding shares who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote and on a poll every Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every share of which s/he is the holder.

Distributions

The Articles of Association permit the Directors to declare such distributions on any class of shares as appears to the Directors to be justified by the profits of the relevant Fund. The Directors may satisfy any distributions due to holders of shares in whole or in part by distributing to them in specie any of the assets of the relevant Fund, and in particular any investments to which the relevant Fund is entitled. Any distributions unclaimed for six years from the date of declaration of such distribution shall be forfeited and shall revert to the relevant Fund. Distributions for the financial year and the prior financial year are disclosed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on pages 35 and 36.

Winding Up

The Articles contain provisions to the following effect:

a) If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator shall, subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, apply the assets of each Fund in such manner and order as s/he thinks fit in satisfaction of creditors' claims relating to that Fund.

b) The assets available for distribution amongst the holders shall be applied as follows. Firstly, the proportion of the assets in a Fund attributable to each class of share shall be distributed to the holders of shares in the relevant class in the proportion that the number of shares held by each holder bears to the total number of shares relating to each such class of shares in issue as at the date of commencement to wind up and secondly, any balance then remaining and not attributable to any of the classes of shares shall be apportioned pro-rata as between the classes of shares based on the Net Asset Value of each class of shares as at the date of commencement to wind up and the amount so apportioned to a class shall be distributed to holders pro-rata to the number of shares in that class of shares held by them.

c) If the Company shall be wound up (whether the liquidation is voluntary, under supervision or by the court) the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the relevant Shareholders and any other sanction required by the Acts divide among the holders of shares of any class or classes within a Fund in specie the whole or any part of the assets of the Company relating to that Fund, and whether or not the assets shall consist of property of a single kind, and may for such purposes set such value as s/he deems fair upon any one or more class or classes of property, and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between all the Shareholders of the Company or the holders of different classes of shares in a Fund. The liquidator may, with the like authority, vest any part of the assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of Shareholders as the liquidator, with the like authority, shall think fit, and the liquidation of the Company may be closed and the Company dissolved, but so that no Shareholder shall be compelled to accept any assets in respect of which there is a liability. A Shareholder may request the liquidator, instead of transferring the assets in specie to it, to dispose of them and to pay the net sales proceeds instead.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Hierarchy

FRS 102 section on “Fair Value: Disclosure” requires disclosure relating to the fair value hierarchy in which fair value measurements are categorised for financial assets and financial liabilities. The disclosures are based on a three-level fair value hierarchy for the inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value.

Level 1 - The unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable (i.e. developed using market data) for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable (i.e. for which market data is unavailable) for the asset or liability.

A fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The valuation techniques used by the Company are explained in the accounting policies note on pages 44 and 45.

The following table sets out the classification of the Company’s financial instruments as at 31 December 2020, measured at fair value in accordance with FRS 102:

In the prior financial year Certificates of deposit, Commercial paper and Time deposits were transferred to Level 2 based on the lack of active market for these instruments.

In the prior financial year within the Fund noted on the table below, there was an Asset backed security that was classified as a Level 3 asset. This asset was priced independently of the Investment Manager, however it was valued by only one pricing vendor. Due to the private nature of the underlying asset, directly comparable data was not readily available, and the asset was therefore deemed to be Level 3. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. For the year ended 31 December 2020, the Fund noted on the table below, has sold the Asset backed security that was classified as a Level 3 asset.

Sensitivity of fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs

Although the Investment Manager believes that its estimates of fair value are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions could lead to different measurements of fair value. For fair value measurements in Level 3, in changing one or more of the assumptions used to reasonably possible alternative assumptions by decreasing or increasing by 5% with all other variables held constant, the impact on valuation is shown in the table below:

9. Financial Instruments and Associated Risks

In pursuing its investment objectives, each Fund holds a number of financial instruments including:

• Other funds; • Corporate bonds, Government bonds, Commercial paper, Certificates of deposit, Floating rate notes, Time

deposits, Asset backed securities, Mortgage backed securities, Forward foreign currency contracts, Futures and Reverse repurchase agreements and

• Cash, liquid resources and short-term debtors and creditors that arise directly from its operations. Each Fund’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Each Fund’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Fund’s financial performance.

Each Fund’s objectives are as follows:

Sterling Liquidity Fund The investment objective of the Sterling Liquidity Fund is to provide investors with stability of capital and of Net Asset Value per Share (in the case of the Stable Net Asset Value Shares) and daily liquidity with an income which is comparable to the Sterling denominated short dated money market interest rates.

Sterling Liquidity Plus Fund The investment objective of the Sterling Liquidity Plus Fund is to provide investors with stability of capital and income through investment in short term fixed income and variable rate securities.

Dollar Liquidity Fund The investment objective of the Dollar Liquidity Fund is to provide investors with stability of capital and of Net Asset Value per Share (in the case of the Stable Net Asset Value Shares) and daily liquidity with an income which is comparable to the US Dollar denominated short dated money market interest rates.

Euro Cash Fund The investment objective of the Euro Cash Fund is to provide investors with stability of capital and daily liquidity together with an income comparable to Euro denominated short dated money market interest rates.

Euro Liquidity Plus FundThe investment objective of the Euro Liquidity Plus Fund is to provide investors with stability of capital and income through investment in short term fixed income and variable rate securities.

i) Market Price Risk

Market price risk results mainly from the uncertainty about the future prices of financial instruments held. It represents the potential loss a Fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

All investments present a risk of loss of capital. The Investment Manager moderates this risk through a careful selection of securities and other financial instruments within the specified limits.

Market risk is controlled and monitored through the application of pre-agreed portfolio control ranges which cover asset allocation, duration, yield curve and liquidity. The Investment Manager will use historic data to measure market risk, which is controlled relative to the benchmark.

The Company's price risk exposure relates to financial assets whose values will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, principally investment securities. The main cause of this fluctuation is directly related to movements in interest rates, which is covered in the Interest Rate Risk note seen on page 72.

ii) Global Exposure

In respect of the Insight Liquidity Funds, the Investment Manager uses the commitment approach to evaluate the global exposure of the Funds. This approach converts each Fund’s financial derivatives instruments (“FDI”) position into an equivalent position of the underlying assets based on the market value of the underlying asset.

iii) Liquidity Risk

Predominantly, the Company’s assets comprise of realisable securities which can be readily sold. Each Fund’s main liability and exposure is to daily cash redemptions of redeemable shares. Assets from a Fund may need to be sold if insufficient cash is available to finance such redemptions. Each Fund therefore invests the appropriate level of its assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of. The Investment Manager is focused on redemption trends and these are analysed on a daily basis to ensure best available information is used to determine potential redemption requirements.

A Fund may, from time to time, invest in derivative contracts traded over the counter, which are not traded in an organised market and may be less liquid. As a result, the Fund may not be able to liquidate these as quickly as its cash investments at an amount which represent their fair value.

The majority of assets held by the Company are negotiable securities. The ability to sell on demand ensures that the Investment Manager can efficiently alter the investment strategy as required. The ability to sell also permits the financing of any unexpected withdrawals from a portfolio. It is important that these assets are readily tradeable and the Investment Manager will ensure that assets are only held where an efficient secondary market is operating. From time to time, the secondary market in any particular issue or market may become less liquid, so to minimise this risk the Investment Manager will also ensure that a portfolio is well diversified.

The following tables analyse each Fund’s financial liabilities and net settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the Statement of Financial Position date to the contractual maturity date. Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares are all less than 1 month; the remaining liabilities are detailed in the table below.

iv) Credit Risk

Each Fund takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty will be unable to pay amounts in full when due.

Each Fund is exposed to credit risk on parties with whom it trades and bears the risk of settlement default. The carrying amounts of financial assets best represent the maximum credit risk exposure at the Statement of Financial Position date. The Funds invest in financial assets, which have an investment grade as rated by a well-known rating agency. If an asset is unrated using one particular rating agency, the Investment Manager will look to source a rating using one of the other market agency sources. The three market ratings agencies that may be used are Standard & Poors, Moody’s and Fitch. Balancing credit rating and investment return is an important element of the investment management decision in trading these assets and a balanced spread of credit ratings can be seen in the Funds’ portfolios.

A Fund has collateral risk when the collateral received by a Fund under a repurchase agreement declines in value. In the event that there is a decline in value of the collateral, a counterparty credit risk will arise pending delivery of the additional collateral. In the normal course of events, additional collateral is delivered the following business day.

Each Fund has counterparty risk in relation to transactions it enters into with brokers, banks and other third parties if the counterparty was to fail to complete any transaction to which the Company is a party. The Investment Manager conducts periodic reviews of the counterparties with whom it conducts transactions.

Northern Trust Fiduciary Services (Ireland) Limited (“NTFSIL”) is the appointed Depositary of the Fund, responsible for the safe-keeping of assets. NTFSIL has appointed The Northern Trust Company (“TNTC”) as its global sub-custodian. Both NTFSIL and TNTC are wholly owned subsidiaries of Northern Trust Corporation (“NTC”). As at financial year end date 31 December 2020, NTC had a long term credit rating from Standard & Poor’s of A+ (31 December 2019: A+).

TNTC (as global sub-custodian of NTFSIL) does not appoint external sub-custodians within the U.S., the U.K., Ireland, Canada, Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands and Saudi Arabia. However, in all other markets, TNTC appoints local external sub-custodians.

NTFSIL, in the discharge of its depositary duties, verifies the Fund’s ownership of Other Assets, (as defined under Other Assets, Art 22(5) of UCITS V Directive 2014/91/EU), by assessing whether the Fund holds the ownership based on information or documents provided by the Fund or where available, on external evidence.

TNTC, in the discharge of its delegated depositary duties, holds in custody (i) all financial instruments that may be registered in a financial instruments account opened on the books of TNTC and (ii) all financial instruments that can be physically delivered to TNTC. TNTC ensures all financial instruments (held in a financial instruments account on the books of TNTC) are held in segregated accounts in the name of the Fund, clearly identifiable as belonging to the Fund, and distinct and separately from the proprietary assets of TNTC, NTFSIL and NTC.

In addition TNTC, as banker, holds cash of the Fund on deposit. Such cash is held on the Statement of Financial Position of TNTC. In the event of insolvency of TNTC, in accordance with standard banking practice, the Fund will rank as an unsecured creditor of TNTC in respect of any cash deposits.

Insolvency of NTFSIL and or one of its agents or affiliates may cause the Fund’s rights with respect to its assets to be delayed.

The Responsible Party (the Board of Directors or its delegate(s)) manages risk by monitoring the credit quality and financial position of the Depositary and such risk is further managed by the Depositary monitoring the credit quality and financial positions of sub-custodian appointment.

A Fund is also exposed to Counterparty Risk on its derivative positions, being the risk that a counterparty will default or be unable to pay in full on its financial obligations. To mitigate the credit risk described above, the Company adopts a collateral programme with each counterparty whereby any unrealised gains on assets initiate a call of collateral from the counterparty of which these assets are held in a segregated account, thereby minimising the risk of default. This review is done on a daily basis. The counterparties for the open forward currency contracts are listed in the Portfolio and Schedule of Investments.

The collateral cash assets are held with the various counterparties as outlined in Note 5, whose ratings are disclosed on page 71. This amount is the minimum required by the brokers and counterparties for collateral requirements and is as such restricted and is reported separately to the unrestricted cash on the Funds’ Statement of Financial Position. Collateral may be pledged by the Funds, generally by way of cash or cash equivalents, and held by the counterparties. Details of non-cash collateral held at the financial period end by counterparties are referenced within the Portfolio Statements of the Funds. Amounts of cash collateral held at the financial period end by counterparties are disclosed on the Statement of Financial Position of the relevant Funds. See Note 10 on page 73 for full details of cash collateral pledged to or by the relevant Funds as at 31 December 2020.

Risk is managed by monitoring the credit quality and financial positions of the Depositary the Company uses.

Controlling credit risk is paramount in the Investment Managers choice of counterparties. The exposures for all Funds in this range are monitored and controlled, of which part of that monitoring includes the Investment Manager’s credit research team. This team constantly monitors the counterparties and conduct risk assessments. This team will inform the relevant Fund Manager or dealing team immediately of all developments affecting counterparties and the market.

In terms of broker and counterparty selection, the Investment Manager has a formalised approval process with sign-offs being given by the Counterparty Credit Committee. Chaired by the Chief Risk Officer, the Counterparty Credit Committee (“CCC”) establishes policies for the selection and monitoring of brokers and counterparties. Any exceptions to these policies require approval of the CCC. Counterparty selection involves an assessment of counterparty credit quality, capability, liquidity, pricing and operational effectiveness. Our credit analysis function within the Fixed Income Group is responsible for making both qualitative (fundamental credit assessments) and quantitative assessments of all counterparties for consideration by the CCC. Further input from market-based factors is also included, referencing a number of external factors such as share price performance and credit default swaps (“CDS”) spreads. This analysis includes the use of a screening tool using a tailored set of quantitative risk indicators which are subject to periodic reassessment.

For delivery versus payment brokers, minimum external rating agency data is not a pre-requisite for approval by the CCC. For OTC Counterparties to be used under Insight’s ISDA arrangements are normally required to have a minimum rating of:

• A3 by Moody’s or• A- by S&P or• A- by FitchA lower rating may be acceptable where, in the view of Insight, sufficient credit enhancements have been provided to bring the counterparty in line with the above.

The Investment Manager has pre and post deal compliance systems with built in restrictions which ensure that the Funds never invest outside of the counterparty limits. Following a deal daily counterparty exposure reports are monitored.

Credit risk arising from receivables from investee funds relate to redemptions or transactions awaiting settlement. Risk relating to unsettled receivables is considered small due to the short settlement period involved and the due diligence permitted on the investee funds. The maximum exposure related to unsettled trades equals the amount shown in the Statement of Financial Position. There are no past due or impaired assets as of 31 December 2020 (31 December 2019: Nil).

The Company has comprehensive counterparty access which provides the Funds with a suitable level of counterparty credit risk. All derivative positions held are held under an Agency umbrella International Swaps and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) master agreement with these leading counterparties. There is a daily bi-lateral collaterisation process which is used to mitigate the counterparty credit exposure. This process ensures all derivative positions are collaterised according to the terms within the ISDAs in place with the relevant counterparty, which minimises the risk of default. All OTC derivatives, except for foreign currency forwards transacted with the Funds’ depositary, will be conducted under ISDA agreements with attached CSA (credit support annex). ISDAs and CSAs permit netting across different transactions with a given counterparty, within a given Fund. The Funds also adopt a deliver versus payment approach which greatly reduces settlement risk.

v) Foreign Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The income and capital value of each Fund’s investments can be significantly affected by currency translation movements if a considerable portion of each Fund’s assets are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Funds. At the financial year end, none of the Funds, with the exception of the Sterling Liquidity Plus Fund, were exposed to foreign currency risk as all their investments were held in the Funds’ functional currency.

In accordance with the Company’s policy, the Investment Manager monitors each Fund’s currency position on a daily basis.

All of the assets held by the Sterling Liquidity Fund, Dollar Liquidity Fund, Euro Cash Fund and Euro Liquidity Plus Fund are denominated in the base currency of the Funds and therefore they have no exposure to foreign currency risk.

*The effect of a 5% decrease in the exchange rate between Sterling and the other currencies to which the Fund is exposed with all other variables held constant. The effect of a 5% increase in the exchange rate would have an equal and opposite effect.

vi) Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

All of the financial assets of each Fund with the exception of cash and reverse repurchase agreements are held at fair value. All financial liabilities including repurchase agreements are stated at amortised cost other than financial derivative instruments which are at fair value and net assets attributable to redeemable shares which are held at their estimated redeemable value.

vii) Interest Rate Risk Profile of Financial Assets and Liabilities

A Fund’s interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities expose it to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows.

The tables below summarise each Fund’s exposure to interest rate risks at 31 December 2020. It includes the Fund’s assets and trading liabilities at fair values, categorised by the earlier of contractual re-pricing or maturity dates.

Per the Interest Rate Risk profile table, there is an effect of 25bps decrease in interest rates calculated. This is done by assessing the investments in the Funds’ portfolios that are affected by interest rates (primarily bonds). The stress testing is performed by decreasing the pricing model interest rate curve by 25bps. The effect is calculated by taking the current unadjusted price away from the price after the interest rate adjustment. Interest rates have been used in the stress testing as it is a primary risk factor to the investments.

At 31 December 2020, should interest rates have decreased by 25bps with all other variables remaining constant, the increase in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares for the financial year would amount to approximately the sensitivity figure on the table below, arising substantially from the increase in market values of debt securities. A 25bps increase would have had an equal and opposite effect.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Shareholders of Insight LiquidityFunds PLC

Report on the audit of the Financial StatementsOpinionWe have audited the Financial Statements of Insight Liquidity Funds PLC (‘the Company’) for the year ended 31 December 2020 set out on pages 35 to 75, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Participating Shares and related notes, including the summary of significant accounting policies set out on pages 42 to 48. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is Irish Law and FRS 102. The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

In our opinion:

• the Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020 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 FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland; and

• the Financial Statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2014, the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011 and the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2019.

Basis for opinionWe 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 Company 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 concernIn 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 Company’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.

Other informationThe 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 Report of the Directors, Portfolio and Schedule of Investments, Investment Manager’s Report and Unaudited Appendices and Portfolio Changes. 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.

Page 79: INSIGHT LIQUIDITY FUNDS PLC

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Shareholders of Insight LiquidityFunds PLC (Continued)

77

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 we have not identified material misstatements in the other information.

Based solely on our work on the other information undertaken during the course of the audit, we report that:

• we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ Report;

• in our opinion, the information given in the Directors’ Report is consistent with the Financial Statements; and

• in our opinion, the Directors’ Report has been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2014.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2014We have obtained all the information and explanations which we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit.

In our opinion the accounting records of the Company were sufficient to permit the Financial Statements to be readily and properly audited and the Financial Statements are in agreement with the accounting records.

Matters on which we are required to report by exceptionThe Companies Act 2014 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion, the disclosures of Directors’ remuneration and transactions required by Sections 305 to 312 of the Act are not made. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Respective responsibilities and restrictions on useResponsibilities of Directors for the Financial StatementsAs explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities set out on pages 8 and 9, 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 Company’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 Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial StatementsOur 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 http://www.iaasa.ie/Publications/Auditing-standards/International-Standards-on-Auditing-for-use-in-Ire/Description-of-the-auditor-s-responsibilities-for.
