AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the shareholders of SEVEN UCITS 5, allée Scheffer L - 2520 Luxembourg Following our appointment by the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders dated April 10, 2015, we have audited the accompanying financial statements of SEVEN UCITS (the « SICAV ») and each of its sub-funds, which comprise the statement of net assets and the statement of investments and other net assets as at December 31, 2015 and the statement of operations and changes in net assets for the period from April 10, 2015 (date on incorporation) to December 31,2015, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes to the financial statements. Responsibility of the Board of Directors of the SICAV for the financial statements The Board of Directors of the SICAV is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation of the financial statements and for such internal control as the Board of Directors of the SICAV determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Responsibility of the réviseur d’entreprises agréé Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as adopted for Luxembourg by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the réviseur d’entreprises agréé’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the réviseur d’entreprises agréé considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors of the SICAV, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of SEVEN UCITS and of each of its sub-funds as at December 31 , 2015, and of the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the period from April 10, 2015 (date on incorporation) to December 31,2015 in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation of the financial statements. Other matter Supplementary information included in the annual rep01t has been reviewed in the context of our mandate but has not been subject to specific audit procedures carried out in accordance with the standards described above. Consequently, we express no opinion on such information. However, we have no observation to make concerning such information in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole. For Deloitte Audit, Cabinet de révision agréé Nicolas Hennebert, Réviseur d’entreprises agréé Partner Luxembourg, April 12, 2016

Note 1 - General description SEVEN UCITS (the "SICAV") is a Luxembourg-law Investment Company with Variable Capital (Société d’Investissement à Capital Variable, SICAV) with multiple sub-funds, constituted on 10 April 2015 for an unlimited period in the form of a Limited Company (Société Anonyme). The SICAV is subject, in particular, to Part I of the Luxembourg Law of 2010 and to the law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies, as modified. The articles of incorporation of the SICAV were published in the Series C Mémorial (Luxembourg's legal gazette), the Compendium of Companies and Associations, on 17 April 2015 and filed with the Registry of the District Court of and in Luxembourg. The SICAV has been registered with the Registry of Business and Companies of Luxembourg under number B196158. On 10 April 2015, the Board of Directors appointed, under its responsibility and control, SEVEN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT as managing company of the SICAV. The SICAV can be comprised of different sub-funds, each representing a pool of specific assets and liabilities, and each corresponding to a different investment policy and a reference currency specific to it. Within each sub-fund, the shares can be of separate share classes and, within these, of separate categories. The SICAV is, therefore, conceived in order to establish a Collective Investment Undertaking with multiple sub-funds, allowing investors to choose the sub-fund whose investment policy best corresponds to their objectives and sensitivity. As at 31 December 2015, the following sub-funds were active:

- SEVEN UCITS - SEVEN ABSOLUTE RETURN FUND (launched on 25 September 2015) - SEVEN UCITS - SEVEN EUROPEAN EQUITY FUND (launched on 25 September 2015) - SEVEN UCITS - SEVEN RISK ALLOCATION FUND (launched on 25 September 2015)

For these active sub-funds, the shares are available in the following share classes:

- Class EUR-I (cap), denominated in EUR and intended for institutional investors - Class EUR-R (cap), denominated in EUR and intended for all types of investors - Class USD-I (cap), denominated in USD and intended for institutional investors - Class USD-R (cap), denominated in USD and intended for all types of investors - Class CHF-I (cap), denominated in CHF and intended for institutional investors - Class CHF-R (cap), denominated in CHF and intended for all types of investors

In each sub-fund, the Board of Directors can decide at any given time to issue different classes of shares ("share classes" or "classes"), the assets of which will be invested jointly in accordance with the specific investment policy of the sub-fund in question but will be subject to a specific fee structure or will present other distinctive characteristics pertaining to each class. Following the decision of the Board of Directors, the shares of the classes below were launched by way of absorption of share in French-law collective investment undertakings:

Note 2 - Significant accounting policies 2.1 Presentation of the financial statements The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the generally admitted accounting policies and are presented pursuant to the law and the regulations in force in Luxembourg concerning Collective Investment Undertakings. 2.2 Assessment of the securities portfolio The assessment of the securities listed or traded on a market regulated under the Law of 2010 or traded on another market of an EU member state that is regulated, in regular operation, recognised and open to the public or admitted to official listing on a securities market of a non-EU state or traded on another market of a non-EU state, regulated, in regular operation, recognised and open to the public (these three conditions can also be classed as a "Regulated Market), is based on the last known closing price on the Day of Assessment and if these securities are traded on several markets, on the basis of the last known closing price of the main market of these securities on the Day of Assessment. Securities not listed on the Stock Exchange or on another regulated market, as well as listed securities whose prices are not representative, are assessed at their last known market value, on the basis of the probable realisable value estimated with prudence and in good faith and under the direction of the Board of Directors of the SICAV. 2.3 Assessment of cash The value of any cash on hand or on deposit, bills, demand notes and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, dividends and interest matured but not yet received will be represented by the nominal value of these assets, unless it appears that such value is unlikely to be received. In the latter case, the value will be determined by deducting a certain amount to reflect the true value of these assets. 2.4 Assessment of money market instruments If possible in practice, money market instruments can be assessed at the last closing price on the day of assessment or according to the linear amortisation method. In case of linear amortisation, the portfolio positions are reviewed regularly under the direction of the Board of Directors in order to determine whether there is a difference between the assessment according to the last closing prices method and that of linear amortisation. If there is a difference that may lead to a consequent dilution or harm the shareholders, appropriate corrective measures can be taken, including, if necessary, the calculation of the net asset value using the last known closing prices. 2.5 Assessment of the units or shares of collective investment undertakings ("CIUs") Open CIU units or shares are assessed on the basis of the last net asset values available or, if the determined price is not representative of the real value of these assets, the price will be determined by the Board of Directors of the SICAV in a fair and equitable manner. Closed CIU units or shares will be assessed at their last known market values or, if the price is not representative of their real value, the prices will be estimated by the Board of Directors of the SICAV with prudence and in good faith. 2.6 Dividends and interest The dividends are presented net of taxes withheld at source. These are recognised as completed on the coupon payment date ("ex-date" dividend). The interest is recognised on an accruals basis. 2.7 Conversion of foreign currencies The financial statements include a consolidation of all the sub-funds. These consolidated figures are expressed in euros (EUR), the SIVAV's reference currency. The market value of the investments and other assets and liabilities expressed in currencies other than the reference currency of each sub-fund have been converted at the exchange rate in force on the closing date. The costs of the investments and of the transactions recognised in currencies other than the base currency have been converted at the exchange rates in force on the dates of the transactions/acquisitions. The revenue and expenses expressed in currencies other than the consolidated reference currency have been converted at the exchange rates in force on the date of the transaction. The profit and loss from exchange transactions are recognised in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Note 2 - Significant accounting policies (continued) The main exchange rates applied as at 31 December 2015 are the following:

1 EUR = 0.73705 GBP 8.41895 HKD 130.67645 JPY 9.61525 NOK 1.54110 SGD 1.08630 USD 16.83275 ZAR

2.8 Net profit and net loss on investments The net profit and net loss on the sale of securities is determined based on their average costs. 2.9 Futures Contracts Open futures contracts are assessed at their last known price on the date of assessment or the closing date. The appreciation or depreciation on futures contracts is presented in the Equity Statement under the heading "Appreciation/depreciation on futures". The change in the appreciation (or depreciation) on futures is presented in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. 2.10 Formation costs The formation costs are amortised in a linear manner over a period of five years. 2.10 Transaction costs The transaction costs include all the charges linked to the costs of transactions which have been defined as brokerage fees and other transaction charges such as custodian bank transaction costs, taxes and other costs relating to the purchase or sale of securities, futures contracts, money market instruments, derivatives or other eligible assets. These costs are recognised separately in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets under the heading of "Transaction costs". Note 3 - Management fee As remuneration for its management and marketing services, the Managing Company receives from the SICAV on its own account an annual fee. This fee is payable quarterly and calculated based on the net assets of each sub-found during the course of the quarter under review. The annual management fee rates effective as at 31 December 2015 are as follows:

Sub-fund Classes Management fee rate incl. taxes per year

Note 4 - Performance fee For the SEVEN UCITS - SEVEN ABSOLUTE RETURN FUND sub-fund, the Managing Company will receive for each share class a performance fee (variable management fee) equivalent to 10% of the outperformance of the class with respect to the EONIA reference index. The performance fees are paid to the Managing Company at the end of the financial year. The variable fees follow the "High Water Mark" principle: no variable fee is paid at the year-end if the performance has not exceeded the level since the last time a variable fee was paid. The "High Water Mark" serves only as a condition for the performance fee and is not connected to the determination thereof. The performance fee is always, fully and solely calculated based on the outperformance of the funds with respect to the reference index. For the period ending 31 December 2015, there is no performance fee payment for the SEVEN UCITS - SEVEN ABSOLUTE RETURN FUND sub-fund. For the SEVEN UCITS - SEVEN EUROPEAN EQUITY FUND sub-fund, the Managing Company will receive, at each year-end, a performance fee for each share class. Each time the asset value is established, the outperformance of the SICAV is defined as the difference between the net assets of the SICAV before taking into account a potential provision for performance fees, and the net assets of a notional Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities achieving the performance of the reference indicator for the calculation of the outperformance. Each time the asset value is established, the performance fee, set at 15% of the performance beyond the Dow Jones Stoxx 600 Europe, is subject to a provision or a write-back limited at the existing allocation. For the period ending 31 December 2015, the performance fee payable for the SEVEN UCITS - SEVEN EUROPEAN EQUITY FUND sub-fund is EUR 46,606.30. For the SEVEN UCITS - SEVEN RISK ALLOCATION FUND sub-fund, the Managing Company will receive for each share class a performance fee (variable management fee) equivalent to 10% of the outperformance of the class with respect to the EONIA reference index. The performance fees are paid to the Managing Company at the end of the financial year. The variable fees follow the "High Water Mark" principle: no variable fee is paid at the year-end if the performance has not exceeded the level since the last time a variable fee was paid. The "High Water Mark" serves only as a condition for the performance fee and is not connected to the determination thereof. The performance fee is always, fully and solely calculated based on the outperformance of the funds with respect to the reference index. For the period ending 31 December 2015, there is no performance fee payment for the SEVEN UCITS - SEVEN RISK ALLOCATION FUND sub-fund. Note 5 - Custodian bank fee In remuneration for the services it renders to the SICAV, the Custodian Bank will receive from the SICAV a variable annual fee, payable monthly in proportion to the assets, and calculated on the monthly average of the assets of the different sub-funds of the SICAV at the maximum rate of 0.25%.

This tax is payable each quarter and its basis is the net assets of the SICAV at the close of the relevant quarter. The subscription tax is not payable on pools of assets invested in CIUs already subject to the application of this tax. No stamp duty or tax will be payable to Luxembourg at the time of the issuance of the shares of the SICAV.
