NOMURA FUNDS IRELAND PLC

GENERAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Nomura Funds Ireland - Fundamental Index Global Equity Fund

The investment objective of the Nomura Funds Ireland - Fundamental Index Global Equity Fund (the “Sub-Fund”) is to achievelong-term capital growth through investment in a portfolio of global equity securities.

The Sub-Fund invests, under normal market conditions, primarily in equity and equity-related securities listed or traded on arecognised exchange in the countries covered by the MSCI All Countries World Index (the “Index Countries”). The Sub-Fundmay invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity and equity-related securities listed or traded on any recognised exchange in non-Index Countries, provided that the business activities of the issuers of such securities are in the Index Countries. The Sub-Fundmay also hold exposure to the Index Countries through investment in such instruments as American Depositary Receipts(“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) or Non-Voting Depositary Receipts (“NVDRs”) and which may be listed onany recognised exchange in a non-Index Country. It is anticipated that the Sub-Fund will invest across the entire range ofcapitalisations (from small cap to large cap).

The Sub-Fund seeks to outperform the MSCI All Countries World Index (the “Index”) by 2% (gross of investment managementfees) per annum. In seeking to outperform the Index, the Sub-Fund uses the Research Affiliates Fundamental Index (“RAFI”)methodology. The weights of individual securities in the Index are based on the market capitalisation of the securities. The RAFImethodology believes that such indices are flawed in their construction since they overweight over-valued securities andunderweight under-valued securities.

The Sub-Fund intends to achieve its investment objective by creating a portfolio with individual security weights based on acomposite of four fundamental factors, being book value (current year), cash flow (5-year average), dividends (5-year average),and net sales (5-year average), rather than their market capitalisation weights within the Index.

The RAFI methodology does not explicitly target specific industry, capitalisation or style allocations within the Sub-Fund. Suchallocations are all results of the security selection and weighting methodology.

The Sub-Fund normally invests in approximately 1,500 equity and equity-related securities in developed and emerging countriescurrently classified as the Index Countries, but is not constrained to invest in only constituent securities of the Index.

Under the terms of the prospectus, investment in equity and equity-related securities in emerging markets, including Russia willnot exceed 30% of the net asset value of the Sub-Fund. The Sub-Fund may also invest up to 10% in other collective investmentschemes including equity exchange-traded funds.

Nomura Funds Ireland - Japan Strategic Value Fund

The Sub-Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in equity and equity-related securities listedor traded on any recognised exchange outside Japan, provided that the business activities of the issuers of such securities are inJapan. It is anticipated that the Sub-Fund will invest across the entire range of capitalisations (from small cap to large cap).

The Sub-Fund seeks to identify equity and equity-related securities, whose valuations are, in the opinion of the Sub-InvestmentManager, low in comparison to assets and profitability, and which may be expected to rise in the future. In addition to thesevaluation opportunities, the Sub-Fund seeks investments based on other strategic features as detailed below:

a) equity and equity-related securities where changes to financial conditions, such as changes in operations, strategy anddividend and share buy-back policies, are expected;b) equity and equity-related securities where potential for growth has been identified, including improved results andincreasing market share, as new business operations are developed and the underlying economy improves; andc) equity and equity-related securities relating to companies that have been identified as candidates for businessrestructuring, corporate governance reform or attractive merger and acquisition opportunities.

While it is intended to monitor the performance of the Sub-Fund as against the Topix Index (the “Index”), the Sub-Fund may, bythe nature of the bottom-up stock picking investment approach adopted by the Sub-Investment Manager, take positions in equityand equity-related securities which differ significantly from the weight of such equity and equity-related securities in the Index.

Performance Commentary

For the half year ended June 2014, the Fund recorded a return of 5.45%, compared with the benchmark return of 6.14%, andtherefore underperformed the benchmark by 69 basis points.

On a gross basis, the Fund outperformed the index, it was well positioned to take advantage of 20%+ moves from Q1 lows in afew major markets: India, Brazil, Turkey and Russia. Strong relative gains in Brazil (insurer BB Seguridade and utility Cemig)and India (construction company Larsen and Toubro and ICICI bank) helped relative performance. In addition, we wereparticularly attracted to deep intrinsic value opportunities in the industrial and consumer sectors, where we benefitted frompositions in Chinese industrial automation provider Hollysys, Tata Motors and China Rail Group. The major negative impact onthe portfolio came from our OW position in Russia. Despite the political risks and deteriorating economy, we are invested incompanies, including Yandex, Magnit and Qiwi, that are continuing to deliver high returns that are above market expectations.

Investment Outlook

Emerging market equities are currently outperforming the MSCI World for the first time since 2011. Because emerging marketequities have largely not participated in strong appreciation over most global asset classes over the past 2 years, they still appearrelatively attractive. On a PB and PE basis, emerging markets trade at a 30% discount to global markets. Valuations also appearattractive relative to fixed income as EMBI spreads have continued to contract. Markets have been further bolstered by theprospects of political change and policy reform in China, India, Brazil and Indonesia.

Macro-economic risks seem to be subsiding as China growth mildly accelerated in 2Q to 7.5% and Chinese authorities havemade efforts to stabilize the economy through mini-stimuli and relaxing property restrictions. Some central banks in Turkey andMexico are also easing to accommodate growth. Nevertheless, geo-political risks are still present. A host of geo-political risk issimmering across the world--the Ukraine crisis, Gaza unrest, ISIS rampage through Iraq, South China Sea provocation to name afew.

Major markets, such as India, Indonesia, Russia, and Brazil have all rallied more than 20% from Q1 lows. However, fund flowdata for EM equities is still negative YTD, global investors are underweight and dedicated EM investors are holding excess cash,based on recent survey data.

Volatility is likely to increase from recent historic lows this summer and we are likely to use it to further concentrate ourportfolio into our high conviction investments.

Performance Commentary

For the half year ended June 2014, the Fund recorded a return of 23.80%, compared with the benchmark return of 21.86%, andtherefore outperformed the benchmark by 194 basis points.

The markets have gained appreciably this YTD. The first important contributor has been a stabilization in the Current Accountand currency outlook post the US taper driven mini-crisis in Q3 2013. The RBI under the leadership of a new and well respectedgovernor initially instituted emergency stabilization measures to support and normalize the currency. The pickup in exports andimport curbs on non-essential items such as Gold this meant a sharp lowering of the Current Account deficit for FY 2014 to 1.7%of GDP from 4.8% in FY 2013. This helped restore confidence and attract both equity and debt inflows which was a positivedriver of markets over the period.

Markets were also driven by rising expectations of a Mr Modi led government coming to power in the May central elections. MrModi has an impressive governance track record as Chief Minister of Gujarat state while the Congress led coalition has performedabysmally over the last few years, contributing to the economic and market weakness over this period.

Meanwhile, macro economic data continues to be weak with FY 2014 GDP growth recorded at 4.7%, the second consecutive yearof sub-5% GDP growth. Investments continue to be the weak leg, although analysts also expect GDP growth to pick up to the low5% range next year before accelerating to around 6.5% in FY2016. The new government has identified investments in industryand infrastructure as one of the key pillars for reviving the growth momentum. The Budget presented in July and a subsequentRBI notification have aimed to ease longer term fund flows to the infrastructure and housing sectors. Further policies to addressissues such as land acquisition and environmental clearances are awaited.

Another important issue to be urgently addressed is that of inflation. Loose fiscal policies and a weak currency have contributedto inflation running at high levels over the last few years. The first month under the new government saw some hard measuresaimed at curbing the fiscal profligacy seen over the last few years. Railway fares were hiked for passenger and freight segmentsand the hike in Minimum Support Prices was lower than in previous years. Besides, diesel fuel hikes at the retail level continue torise every month. In the near term, these price hikes across the economy may keep inflation higher than otherwise, especially ifthe monsoon trends remain weak as they have been so far. However a structural improvement in the fiscal deficit will supportlower inflationary expectations over the medium term and pave the way for interest rate easing cycle to formally commencesooner.

The portfolio performance benefited from a switch away from defensive sectors such as IT Services, Healthcare and ConsumerStaples and towards domestic cyclicals, in particular the Financials. The former have been trading at high valuations, however, weexpect the valuation gap to narrow as the currency stabilizes and domestic growth trajectory improves. Financials are the bestplaced as they offer a broad based exposure to the economic cycle and benefit from normalization of the asset quality and interestrate cycles ahead. We have also added to sectors such as Materials where policy decisions have always played an important roleand many projects are stuck for an appropriate government response, an issue we believe is high on this government’s priorities.

NOMURA FUNDS IRELAND - INDIA EQUITY FUNDINVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED)For the half year ended 30th June, 2014

Investment Outlook (continued)

We expect the global economic recovery to continue at a moderate pace through the remainder of 2014. The US is expected torebound from a phase of weather induced weakness in the first four months of the year, whilst Europe is showing surprisingvigour given the depth of problems that overshadowed the peripheral economies. Japan’s private consumption slump in the wakeof the tax hike is being offset by stronger capital expenditure. China is also rebounding somewhat amid conflicting signals fromthe Government. On one hand they have hinted at a comprehensive reform program that will inevitably lead to a slower growthrate, yet they are still inclined to offer further economic stimulus at any sign of a slowdown. This environment of slow economicgrowth and commensurate stimulus settings in Central Bank monetary policy should continue to drive stock prices high

In India, we see favourable bottom up drivers for the economy and markets. The economic growth appears to have bottomed latelast year and recent high frequency data such as auto sales and IIP have indicated an uptick. The currency has normalized andCurrent Account Deficit has recovered to below 2% of GDP, which makes it well placed at the beginning of a growth cycle. Thenew government has a strong electoral mandate and is not bound by the coalition politics of the last few years. This is a conduciveenvironment to pursue far reaching reforms and given Mr Modi’s credentials, we are optimistic of some success on this front. Inthe limited time the new government has been in power, they have focused on measures to boost investments and infrastructureand improve the fiscal deficit, we believe this is much required longer term thinking to bring the economy back to a sustainablegrowth path.

Inflation remains a burning issue. On the one hand, base effects will see the CPI trajectory falling off from over 8% in 1H tolower than 5% over the next few months. But there are upside risks to this from the weak monsoon, any rise in oil prices and thefuel and other price hikes happening in the economy as the fiscal deficit is curbed. Nevertheless we expect inflation expectationsover the medium term to come off and believe this will be an important consideration for the RBI to resume monetary easing overthe next few quarters.

We expect a growth uptick and easing cost pressures to be favourable for corporate earnings for the next few years. Historicallythe Indian corporate sector has delivered earnings CAGR of 15-20% over the longer term and we expect growth to return to thoselevels. One of the key changes has been the opening up of the equity capital markets, with liquidity provided by foreign investorshelping balance sheets to correct their excesses and provide growth capital. Domestic flows have been notably absent from themarkets in the last few years, and a potential resumption in these large flows is an important factor to watch out for in the yearsahead.

Markets have done well YTD and valuations have come back to historical average levels. We are also mindful that the earningsbase today is suppressed and if this is a start of sustained recovery phase, there is lots of room for earnings to surprise. Overall, weare optimistic that is the likely case. Nevertheless we are remaining consistent to our long held stock selection philosophy, a focuson quality managements with good track records and sound balance sheets will compound returns much better over time. From asector allocation perspective, we will remain biased in favour of domestic cyclicals.

Performance Commentary

For the half year ended June 2014, the Fund recorded a return of 2.62%, compared with the benchmark return of 2.59%, andtherefore outperformed the benchmark by 3 basis points.

In terms of asset allocation, the overweight position in the Philippines contributed positively on the back of steady economicgrowth. The overweight position in Thailand also contributed positively. The Thai stock market rebounded after the militarygovernment took control following a political standoff lasting several weeks, and raised hopes that positive economic momentumwould be restored. Meanwhile the underweight positions in India and Indonesia, especially during the early part of this year,worked against the portfolio, as the macroeconomic conditions showed signs of improvement (e.g. a narrowing current accountdeficit), as well an improvement in the political situation after the Indian general election in May.

Meanwhile, stock selection results varied across countries, adding value in Korea and China, but unsuccessful in Hong Kong andTaiwan. In Korea, overweight positions in SK Hynix and Coway contributed positively, as these share prices strengthened on theback of favourable supply demand conditions for memory chips produced by SK Hynix, and strength in earnings momentum forCoway. In China, the overweight position in Nexteer Automotive contributed positively as the share price strengthened on theback of attractive valuations as well as its ample orderbook. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, the overweight position in Galaxyworked against the portfolio, as the share price weakened due to concerns about a slowdown in the Chinese economy as well asregulatory tightening of the Macau casino industry. In Taiwan, the overweight position in St. Shine had a negative impact as theshare price weakened along with a near-term slowdown in earnings momentum.

Investment Outlook

We expect the global economic recovery to continue at a moderate pace through the remainder of 2014. The US is expected torebound from a phase of weather induced weakness in the first four months of the year, whilst Europe is showing surprisingvigour given the depth of the problems that have overshadowed the peripheral economies. Japan’s private consumption slump inthe wake of the tax hike is being offset by stronger capital expenditure. China is also rebounding somewhat amid conflictingsignals from the Government. On one hand they have hinted at a comprehensive reform program that will inevitably lead to aslower growth rate, yet they are still inclined to offer further economic stimulus at any sign of a slowdown.

This environment of slow economic growth and commensurate stimulus settings in Central Bank monetary policy shouldcontinue to drive stock prices higher.

In terms of country allocation, we decided to reduce the already underweight Korea position. Analysis of recent global stockmarket returns suggests that capital management, in the form of dividends, share buybacks and mergers and acquisitions madesignificant contributions to overall returns. Unfortunately, Korean companies tend to pay only lip service to such policies.Dividends are derisory, share buybacks virtually non-existent, and inefficient shareholding structures only serve to entrenchfamily interests. The other major concern is the strength of the Korean won and its impact on margins. This is especiallydamaging given that few Korean companies have shown much enthusiasm or aptitude for cutting costs. There are still someexcellent companies in Korea and the economy is geared to the global rebound, which has precluded us from cutting the exposurefurther.

Proceeds from these sales will be used to raise the Singapore position. Whilst the index heavyweights, property and bankingstocks, are constrained somewhat by the Government’s attempts to cool the property market, there are some interesting individualstock ideas. Moreover, Singapore companies are well versed in capital management with high dividend pay-outs and ample M&Aactivity.

Investment Outlook (continued)

We increased the India exposure following the election and this will be maintained. We remain confident that Mr Modi’s reformcredentials could transform the country’s economy. To some extent this has been priced in already, but there is still sufficientskepticism to suggest further gains are likely.

Positions in Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippines will also remain overweight. In Taiwan, we can find many excellent technologycompanies, either niche producers or those large enough to be indispensable to the major global players. Dividend yields are alsoattractive. Thailand is still overweight despite the return to military rule. We acknowledge that the political landscape is not ideal,but it is providing some breathing space and allowing a number of reforms to be introduced. Again corporate governance and thefocus on capital management have improved markedly in Thailand. Finally, the Philippine market has been a structuraloverweight position for many years and this remains in place.

On the negative side, exposures to China and Hong Kong will remain below the benchmark. Our previously stated rationale forthis stance bears repeating. It is not an indictment of the Chinese economy, which remains robust, or of that country’s economicmanagement. In fact we are encouraged by signals from the current Government about their commitment to economic reform. Wealso continue to find well-managed, fundamentally sound and inefficiently priced stocks in the Chinese market that we are excitedabout owning. However, the numerous structural issues that have plagued Chinese equities are still present. These include poorcorporate governance, companies managed for reasons other than maximizing minority shareholder value, and the surge in shareissuance every time the market moves higher.

Performance Commentary

For the half year ended June 2014, the Fund recorded a return of 6.39%, compared with the benchmark return of 6.47%, andtherefore underperformed the benchmark by 8 basis points.

Global equity markets advanced during the first quarter of 2014. To the beginning of February, the equity markets fell back inreaction to the depreciation of some Emerging markets currencies against the dollar, the deterioration of the Chinesemanufacturing business confidence index, concerns on tapering FRB’s monetary policy, and announcement of a surprisinglyweak ISM Manufacturing Business Activity index reported in the US. The markets rebounded after ECB President Mario Draghiimplied that further monetary easing measures many considered. In March, the market dropped, reflecting the growing tensions inUkraine following Russia’s intervention in Crimea region and disappointing Chinese economic indicators. To the end of March,the market again recovered due to expectations of additional economic stimulus measures by Chinese authorities and a rally inEuropean equity markets.

Our overweight position in the Utilities sector worked positively to the fund performance as European Utilities companies, suchas Enel S.p.A., GDF SUEZ and Endesa S.A. gained substantially. Also our overweight position in the Automobiles &Components Industry added values as European automaker surged during this quarter. However, our overweight position in theMaterials and Energy sector worked negatively to the fund performance. Moreover, allocation in China detracted from theperformance on the back of concerns over economic slowdown in China. As for regional allocation, the underweight allocation toDeveloped Markets contributed positively, while the overweight position in Emerging Markets both worked negatively.

Global equity markets rallied during the second quarter of 2014. In April, the equity markets gained on the back of favourableChinese manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI). Federal Reserve Chair, Janet Yellen’s statement that monetary easingmeasures would be maintained to support the US economy also attracted the markets. The equity markets fell at the beginning ofMay due to the continued political tensions in Ukraine, however the markets rebounded when ECB President suggested thepossibility of additional monetary easing measures. Expectations for an economic recovery in the US and China also supportedthe markets. The markets advanced from the beginning of June following the interest-rate cuts announced by the EuropeanCentral Bank (ECB) and favourable employment data reported in the US. However to the end of the month, European marketsdeclined after a weak business confidence index reported in Germany. Even though the markets set back at one time due to thegeopolitical risk in Ukraine and a weak economic indicator announced in Germany, the markets showed a strong performanceduring this quarter, supported by anticipation on economic recovery in China and US.

Our overweight position in the Energy sector worked positively to the fund performance as Energy companies surged during thisquarter reflecting a rise in crude oil prices. Our overweight position in the Telecommunication Services sector added value asmajor Telecommunication companies in the country, such as Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, Orange and Deutsche Telekomrecorded double digit gain during this quarter. However, stock selections in the Consumer Staples and Materials sectors workednegatively to the fund performance. Moreover, allocation in France and Italy, which had been positive contributors in the previousquarter detracted from the performance in this quarter. As for regional allocation, the overweight allocation to Emerging Marketscontributed positively, while the underweight position in Developed Markets both worked negatively.

Investment Outlook

As the Fundamental Index Strategy calculates its portfolio weights by using company reported fundamental data, it is notdesigned to make any top-down decisions and give any specific economic outlooks.

We review our target weights once a year based on the fundamental measures of size, by using historical fundamental factors suchas Sales, Cash flow, Dividends and Book Value. We monitor deviations between our target weights and the actual portfolioweights. When the portfolio weights deviate from target weights significantly, we rewind the portfolio weights back to targetweights.

Based on fundamental value measures, our fund has overweight positions in the Energy, Telecommunication Services andUtilities sectors. and underweight positions in Information Technology, Health Care, and Consumer Staples sectors.

With regard to country allocation, our fund is currently overweighting China, France, Japan and Italy, while holding underweightexposures to the United States, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Canada. Overall, we have an overweight position in emergingmarkets and underweight positions in developed countries.

Performance Commentary

For the half year ended June 2014, the Fund recorded a return of -2.59%, compared with the benchmark return of -1.94%, andtherefore underperformed the benchmark by 65 basis points.

There were several distinct phases to the Japanese equity market in the first six months of 2014. January began on a positive notebut soon turn down in the face of perceived growing geopolitical risks centring on the standoff between Russia and the Ukraineover Crimea, a succession of weak economic releases from around the world and a firming in the yen. In addition there wasdisappointment that the Bank of Japan held back from announcing additional monetary easing measures ahead of the increase inthe consumption tax at the beginning of April. However, from mid-April the market began to recover its composure and ended theperiod on a strong note. Investor sentiment was helped by the perception of relative stability in the global economy and monetaryconditions. In a sign of more robust sentiment, markets did not take fright at the deteriorating situation in Iraq, the oil price risingonly modestly in reaction. Similarly investors seemed to want to take a relatively relax view of the on-going standoff in theUkraine and the rising risk of an Argentine sovereign default.

Japanese economic data over the period was decidedly mixed. Widely watch indicators such as the Industrial Production indexfailed to paint a picture of a robust expansion, the May increase of in was below the consensus figure of 0.9% and analysis ofproduction forecasts only suggested a slow recovery in activity over the next couple of months as the economy continues to adjustto the consumption tax increase at the beginning of April. On a positive note, Japan’s unemployment rate declining to 3.5% inMay, its lowest level since February 1997, and the active job opening ratio also improved to its highest level in 20 years.

Turning to the Japanese corporate scene, earnings reports for the fiscal year ended March were slightly ahead of expectations butthe company forecasts for the current year seemed excessively conservative, likely reflecting the uncertainties over domesticdemand in the wake of the consumption tax increase. In any event the disappointing forecasts did little to shake the market withinvestors seemingly content focus on the valuation gap with other global markets.

As might have been expected in a market that experienced marked changes of direction, sector performances over the period werevery mixed. Most cyclical sectors underperformed over the period largely as a result of a poor first quarter. The financial sectorsalso underperformed as the banks were subject to profit taking and the asset price driven sectors, such as the Securities &Commodity Futures and Insurance sectors, were hit hard in any market declines. The performance of the export-related sectorswas very mixed with the Electric Appliance, Machinery and Precision Instrument sectors all outperforming whilst theTransportation Equipment sector underperformed the benchmark by some margin. Although, with the exception of the Foods, thetraditional defensives underperformed in upmarket of the second quarter, strong outperformance in the first quarter enabled themto close above the benchmark for the period as a whole.

Over the first half of 2014 the fund underperformed outperformed the benchmark by a modest margin. On an attribution basis thepositive stock selection was outweighed by negative asset allocation results. Stock selection was most effective in the Information& Communication, Banking and Retail sectors. It was least effective in the Machinery, Transportation Equipment and OtherFinancing sectors. As far as individual stocks were concerned, the positions contributing the most to performance over the periodincluded overweights in telecommunications giant NTT, bank Resona Holdings, and construction company Taisei along withunderweights in mobile phone company Softbank and property company Mitsubishi Estate. Stock positions detracting the mostfrom overall performance included overweight positions in wire and cable maker Sumitomo Electric Industries, engineeringcompany Hitachi Zosen and consumer credit company Credit Saison together with underweights in Japan Tobacco and CentralJapan Railway.

NOMURA FUNDS IRELAND - JAPAN STRATEGIC VALUE FUNDINVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED)For the half year ended 30th June, 2014

Investment Outlook

Our view on global growth has not changed and we remain broadly positive on the recovery which will continue to be led by theUS. That having been said we have trimmed our forecast for US GDP growth to 2% for the current year to reflect the adverseimpact of the extreme winter weather across North America earlier this year. Nonetheless the underlying trend in the US remainspositive particularly in the light of the progress the household sector has made in repairing its balance sheet which should enablerising consumer spending to lend more support to the economy.

Although some of the Japanese economic data for May was rather mixed, we feel that the Japanese economy seems to beweathering the impact of the recent consumption tax increase reasonably well. As might have been expected overall spending onservices in May was weak but there were also some encouraging signs in regard to consumption, notably a recovery in departmentstore and home appliance sales. Moreover, looking forward we are cautiously optimistic that rising business investment will atleast partly offset any the near-term weakness in consumption. There have been numerous announcements by corporates ofintentions to increase capital expenditure, and this anecdotal evidence combined with very positive investment numbers in thelatest Tankan (nosiness outlook) survey, strongly suggests that business confidence is increasing.

With the government closely monitoring the strength of domestic demand in the wake of the tax increase and higher inflation, theextent to which companies can pass on higher costs and raise wages is likely to determine whether the Bank of Japan considersfurther monetary easing. An additional consideration in this regard will be the level of the yen, which has been little changedagainst other major currencies for some months now. Yen weakness over much of 2013 was a major factor in boosting corporateprofits in the last fiscal year but the effect is rapidly diminishing and investors will be anxiously watching the earningsannouncements in the September-October period to determine the underlying strength of earnings momentum.

As for the Abe administration’s announcement at the end of June of its Growth Strategy (the ‘third arrow’ of ‘Abenomics’), therewere few surprises in that virtually all of the measures had already been mooted. As a result investors’ attention will turn to thedetail of the policy initiatives and the speed of implementation. It is also worth noting that not all previously discussed policyinitiatives were included in the latest announcement and more may well be forthcoming by the end of the year.

In terms of valuations, despite the recent increase in the market Japanese equities still appear relatively attractive compared totheir US and European counterparts, with a current year price earnings ratio (PER) of 14.4 times falling to 13.0 times on FY2016earnings. As of 30th June the price to book ratio was a little under 1.3 times and the prospective dividend yield 1.9%. Lookingahead we would expect equity valuations in Japan to catch up with their global peers’ assuming that there are no nasty surprises inthe macro economic data and corporate earnings for the July-September period does not disappoint; currently the risks to profitslook skewed to the upside.

Weighing up these factors we believe that the long-term case for Japanese equities remains strong. Global growth trends arepositive, Japanese monetary policy remains supportive as do the policy initiatives of Abenomics both at macro and micro levels.This should translate into rising corporate earnings which will further enhance the strong valuation argument for the market.

Performance Commentary

For the half year ended June 2014, the Fund recorded a return of 6.40%, compared with the benchmark return of 5.64%, andtherefore outperformed the benchmark by 76 basis points.

FirstData (FDC) was the largest contributor to our relative performance in 1H2014. FirstData released its May SpendTrend data,which tracks same-store sales volumes at merchants serviced by FirstData. This was an important indicator for 2 reasons: 1) Itprovided volume insight into FirstData’s core processing business and 2) Gave an indication of where consumers were spendingtheir money. FDC’s processing revenues are a combination of volumes, which have been increasing, and pricing, which has beenoffsetting growth. Transaction volume was up 3.0% year-over-year in May versus up 3.5% year-over-year in April. This increasereflected higher gas prices and also indicated that consumers purchased more big ticket items in May. On June 19th, FirstDataannounced that it is raising $3.5bn of private equity ($2.0bn from new investors; $1.5bn from KKR). We feel that this transactionwill free up $200mm or so in cash interest expense, improving free cash flow to roughly $500mm per year (2.5% of total debt).We also believe this will allow FDC to invest more in their business through R&D, acquisitions, and/or pay down debt with freecash flow. The bonds traded up on the announcement.

Sprint also contributed to relative performance YTD. The Wall Street Journal reported that Sprint and T-Mobile seem to be inagreement over merger deal terms, and that an announcement could come in July. The Sprint bonds traded up on this news.

Reynolds Group also contributed to relative performance for the month of June. On June 10th, Bloomberg News reported thatReynolds is contemplating divesting its SIG business, which makes aseptic cartons for soup and beverages—mostly consumed inEurope and Asia. Bloomberg suggested that it is being shopped to private equity firms for approximately $5.0bn, which wouldrepresent a 9.5x LTM EBITDA multiple. The bonds traded up on the report.

From a sector perspective, an overweight and positive issuer selection in the Media-Cable and and Software/Services sectorscontributed the most to relative performance. Negative issuer selection in the Banking and Food & Drug Retailer sectors detractedfrom performance YTD.

Investment Outlook

Early in 2014, an escalation of tensions between Russia and the Ukraine, underlying angst around China growth/credit, and theFederal Reserve (Fed) each played roles in the HY market’s oscillating action, which was also driven by shifts in momentum andsentiment. The ability of credit products to weather a rise in Treasury yields and maintain firm prices was a notable development.Seemingly, high yield investors were more comfortable with higher Treasury yields when accompanied by a slowly improvingeconomy and diminishing tail risks.

The main themes in high yield during the month of April were the outperformance of long-duration bonds, and the long-anticipated TXU default. The first estimate of Q1 GDP came in weaker than expectations at 0.1%. Inclement weather and dragfrom an inventory correction had a significant impact on growth. The unemployment rate dropped in April by 0.4pp, in part, dueto a decline in gross inflows in to the labor market which lowered the participation rate. We now suspect that labor forceparticipation will start firming going forward. Despite the recovery in economic data, Treasury yields remain relatively low. Ten-year Treasury yields finished April at 2.65%, down 7bp from March and 38bp lower since the beginning of the year. This lowstate of Treasury yields has supported high-yield prices and retail flows, and has driven the outperformance of longer-durationissuers.

NOMURA FUNDS IRELAND - US HIGH YIELD BOND FUNDINVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED)For the half year ended 30th June, 2014

Investment Outlook (continued)

TXU filed for bankruptcy on April 29, 2014. The company has been operating under an extremely high debt burden for severalyears, while cash flow has been negatively impacted by low commodity prices (particularly natural gas). The company filed forbankruptcy with the major creditor parties having agreed to a restructuring framework. Under the new framework, the term loanlenders from the company’s competitive power operations, Texas Competitive Energy Holdings (TCEH), would receive theequity from that business, while the 11.25% PIK notes lenders would take control of the regulated Energy Future IntermediateHoldings (EFIH) business.

The market had been expecting this bankruptcy for quite some time, and the filing had no negative impact on the market. Also, itshould be noted that our positions in the structure traded higher after the filing as the Restructuring Support Agreement is asignificant positive that should help simplify an already complex bankruptcy. Our main positions were in the regulated (EFIH)side of the business. We have locked in some profits at current levels, and are continually analysing the situation and ourholdings in all parts of the capital structure.

The main theme in the fixed-income markets during the month of May was the precipitous drop in global government bondyields. While the decline in yields was surprising, most of the moves across Europe are simply reversing the increase into the lastweek of May (i.e. Portugal 10-yr rose from 3.5% to 4.0% and is now back down to 3.6%). And amidst this volatility,expectations for European Central Bank (ECB) action are high, and will continually evolve into next Thursday. Mario Draghispurred expectations for significant action at his May 8th press conference when he underscored the ECB’s concerns about lowinflation and the rising currency. Since the May meeting, several economists revised their projections to include not only a ratecut but also long-term loans to banks (LTROs) and an effort to revive the asset-backed securities market. The offer of long-termfixed-rate loans to banks would send a stronger signal to markets that the ECB expects to leave rates on hold for the life of theloans (likely 3-4yrs), reinforcing its low-for-long message since it could lose money on such lending in the event of an earlierrate hike.

June turned out to be a relatively quiet month for the high yield market. High-yield bond yields and spreads ground tighterthroughout the month as a combination of accommodative global central banks, modest growth trends, low market volatility, andbenign Treasury yields continued to fuel market participants’ search for yield. The third estimate of Q1 GDP growth came inweaker than expectations at -2.9% due to a downgrade in personal consumption expenditures—in particular, services spendingand a less favorable trade balance. Moreover, recent personal spending data through May point to weak consumption growth inQ2. However, incoming data continue to point to a recovery in non-residential and residential fixed investment after declining inQ1. Most, if not all, inventory correction was realized in Q1 and we expect inventories to contribute positively to growth in Q2.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that non-farm payrolls gained an additional 288k jobs in June, handily beating marketexpectations. Coupled with a 29k upward revision to the prior two months, non-farm payrolls averaged 272k job gains per monthin Q2, suggesting robust growth in economic activity. The details of the report showed that there was a sharp drop in the numberof unemployed people while the participation rate remained unchanged at 62.8%, suggesting that the decline in theunemployment rate was primarily due to more people finding jobs rather than exiting the labor market.

The FOMC announced an additional $10bn reduction in the pace of asset purchases starting in July ($20bn UST, $15bn MBS permonth). As long as the incoming data remain supportive of the Fed’s outlook, we expect the FOMC to bring the asset purchaseprogram to a close this fall. Moreover, consensus growth and labor market outlooks support the expectation of an increase in theFed Funds rate in 2Q 2015.

We remain constructive on the fundamentals of the high yield market, while somewhat cautious on valuations. Solid growth witha dovish Fed continues to be a good backdrop for equities, and high yield. This backdrop also leads to a steady supply of positivecapital market events, such as M&A, IPO’s, and asset sales, which continue to benefit our high yield portfolios. Neither Russia-Ukraine tensions nor the Iraq conflicts are viewed as threats to the high yield market at this time. The price of oil needs to bewatched, but it has been fairly steady. We always need to wonder what could change the environment, but in the meantime theFed Funds rate in 2Q 2015 environment appears stable.

Performance Commentary

For the half year ended June 2014, the Fund recorded a return of 5.09%, compared with the benchmark return of 6.17%, andtherefore underperformed the benchmark by 108 basis points.

Attribution analysis shows that stock selection detracted significantly from the relative performance, while the asset allocationeffect was marginal.

In term of country allocation, the overweight exposure in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand & Indonesia were positive, while theunderweight exposure in Korea and Taiwan were negative from the relative performance.

In term of stock selection, China, Hong Kong and Singapore added values while the rest of the countries were negative.

Cash residual had a negative effect during this period.

Positive in stock selection were Silverlake (Singapore), AmorePacific (Korea) and Boer Power (China) contributed significantlyto performance. Stocks such as Hilong (China), Wins Co (Korea) and Sunspring Metal (Taiwan) detracted from performance.

Investment Outlook

We expect the global economic recovery to continue at a moderate pace through the remainder of 2014. The US is expected torebound from a phase of weather induced weakness in the first four months of the year, whilst Europe is showing surprisingvigour given the depth of the problems that overshadowed the peripheral economies. Japan’s private consumption slump in thewake of the tax hike is being offset by stronger capital expenditure. China is also rebounding somewhat amid conflicting signalsfrom the Government. On one hand they have hinted at a comprehensive reform program that will inevitably lead to a slowergrowth rate, yet they are still inclined to offer further economic stimulus at any sign of a slowdown.

This environment of slow economic growth and commensurate stimulus settings in Central Bank monetary policy shouldcontinue to drive stock prices higher.

For Asia Pacific mandates, we decided to reduce the already underweight Korea position. Analysis of recent global stock marketreturns suggests that capital management, in the form of dividends, share buybacks and mergers and acquisitions made significantcontributions to overall returns. Unfortunately Korean companies tend to pay only lip service to such policies. Dividends arederisory, share buybacks virtually non-existent, and inefficient shareholding structures only serve to entrench family interests.The other major concern is the strength of the Korean won and its impact on margins. This is especially damaging given that fewKorean companies have shown much enthusiasm or aptitude for cutting costs. There are still some excellent companies in Koreaand the economy is geared to the global rebound, and this precluded us from cutting the exposure further.

Proceeds from these sales will be used to raise the Singapore position to neutral. Whilst the index heavyweights, property andbanking stocks, are constrained somewhat by the Government’s attempts to cool the property market, there are some interestingindividual stock ideas. Moreover, Singapore companies are well versed in capital management with high dividend pay-outs andample M&A activity.

NOMURA FUNDS IRELAND - ASIAN SMALLER COMPANIES FUNDINVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED)For the half year ended 30th June, 2014

Investment Outlook (continued)

We increased the India exposure following the election and this will be maintained. We remain confident that Mr Modi’s reformcredentials could transform the country’s economy. To some extent this has been priced in already, but there is still sufficientscepticism to suggest further gains are likely.

Positions in Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippines will also remain overweight. In Taiwan, as we have outlined frequently, we canfind many excellent technology companies, either niche producers or those large enough to be indispensable to the major globalplayers. Dividend yields are also attractive. Thailand is still overweight despite the return to military rule. We acknowledge thatthe political landscape is not ideal, but it is providing some breathing space and allowing a number of reforms to be introduced.Again corporate governance and the focus on capital management have improved markedly in Thailand. Finally, the Philippinemarket has been a structural overweight position for many years and this remains in place.

On the negative side, exposures to China and Hong Kong will remain below benchmark.

Our previously stated rationale for this stance bears repeating. It is not an indictment of the Chinese economy, which remainsrobust, or of that country’s economic management. In fact we are encouraged by signals from the current Government about theircommitment to economic reform. We also continue to find well-managed, fundamentally sound and inefficiently priced stocks inthat market that we are excited about owning. However, the numerous structural issues that have plagued the Chinese market arestill present. These include poor corporate governance, companies managed for reasons other than maximising minorityshareholder value, and the surge in share issuance every time the market moves higher.

Australia will also remain underweight. On the positive side, companies are generally well managed and the liquidityenvironment is buoyant courtesy of large pension fund inflows. However, the economy is going through a structural rebalancingaway from a reliance on resource exports to China at a time when consumer debt is at record levels.

Our sector positions remain unchanged. That is, we have a very large overweight exposure to Consumer Cyclical stocks andHealthcare financed by low exposures to Consumer Staples, Utilities, Telecoms and the economically sensitive Materials andEnergy sectors.

Performance Commentary

For the half year ended June 2014, the Fund recorded a return of 0.58% compared with the benchmark return of -1.94%, andtherefore outperformed the benchmark by 252 basis points.

The Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX) fell by 7.63% in the January-March quarter 2014. Investors remained cautious as theyassessed the market risks associated with the geopolitical standoff over Ukraine, and the continued flow of weak macroeconomicdata from around the world. Disappointment regarding expectations of additional monetary easing measures from the Bank ofJapan (BOJ) also seemed to drive investors towards profit taking activity during the first quarter.

Japanese economic data releases earlier this year also deviated somewhat from the market consensus and failed to allay theanxiety over the possible negative impact of the consumption tax hike on April 1st. These economic indicators seemed to becomeharder to predict, partly due to the uneven effects of the demand rush ahead of the consumption tax hike and also the impact of therecord snow-fall in February. Domestic demand data seemed resilient and there were signs that the economy was steadily exitingfrom the long deflationary period.

Corporate earnings results from Japanese companies for the October-December 2013 quarter were positive in general. Thecombination of a sales recovery and cost reduction efforts in previous years has continued to support improved profit margins,especially among manufacturing companies. Nevertheless, the macroeconomic uncertainties appeared to offset these positivecorporate results to a large extent in terms of investor sentiment during the quarter. The Financials, Infrastructure, andAutomobiles sectors led the market downturn. Concerns about the negative repercussions for domestic demand following theconsumption tax hike seemed to encourage profit-taking activity during the first quarter 2014.

The Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX) gained 4.96% in the April-June quarter 2014, recovering some of the first quarter losses.Global economic conditions remained stable despite a number of unresolved issues, while concerns about the negativerepercussions from the consumption tax hike or the excessively conservative fiscal year earnings guidance eased somewhat withthe release of actual data. Investors therefore appeared to seize an opportunity in the languishing Japan equity market to narrowthe gap with other global markets.

Prospects for the global economy were little changed during the second quarter as major economies maintained accommodativeeconomic, and especially monetary, policies. US economic conditions appeared steady. Meanwhile, China’s May PurchasingManagers’ Index (PMI) showed a gradual recovery that helped to alleviate the pessimistic view of the economy caused byconcerns over mounting bad debts in the shadow banking system. Although geopolitical issues such as the security situations inUkraine and Iraq, or sovereign default risk in Argentina, continue to cloud the global outlook, the influence of these eventsappears limited to crude oil prices and local credit market conditions.

Economic data failed to offer signs of a tangible recovery in June. Industrial Production in May increased by 0.5% (mom), butcould not match the consensus figure of 0.9%. Analysis of Forecasts also suggested a slow recovery in production activity overthe next couple of months in Japan after the tax hike in April. Domestic demand indicators also appeared mixed. Japan’sunemployment rate declined to 3.5% in May, the lowest level since February 1997 and the active job opening ratio also improvedto its highest level in 20 years, reaching 1.09 in May. On the other hand, real household spending has remained subdued by theconsumption tax hike, falling -4.6% in April and -8.0% (yoy) in May. Japan’s CPI for May increased by 3.7% (yoy), however,without the impact of the consumption tax hike, the underlying CPI is estimated to have remained flat from the previous quarter.

NOMURA FUNDS IRELAND - JAPAN HIGH CONVICTION FUNDINVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED)For the half year ended 30th June, 2014

Performance Commentary (continued)

Stock selection added value during the first half of this year. Our core holdings including NIDEC, M3 and Sysmex were able toadd value to the performance as the equity market rewarded their solid fundamentals in general, while positions in JGC andKubota had a negative impact mainly due to weakening earnings estimates and concerns about a sales slowdown in their overseasmarkets.

Investment Outlook

We still expect a continued steady global economic recovery led by the US, and in this respect our outlook is unchanged.However, the US GDP growth forecast for this year has been revised down to 2% (yoy), which is largely attributable to theadverse economic impact of extreme winter weather conditions across North America. Nevertheless, we believe the underlyingtrend in the US is improving. Considering the progress of balance sheet adjustment in the household sector, we expect USeconomic growth to accelerate later this year, with consumer spending providing crucial support.

Despite some disappointing Japanese economic data for May, Japan’s economy seems to be weathering the impact of theconsumption tax hike reasonably well. Although we are disappointed by the overall weakness of spending on services in May,there were some encouraging signs of a consumption recovery in department store and home appliance sales. We are alsocautiously optimistic that strong business investment will partly offset the near-term weakness in consumption. Frequentcorporate announcements of increased capital expenditure, along with the Tankan outlook survey, together suggest that businessconfidence is increasing. The extent to which companies raise base wages or whether higher costs can be passed on to prices,especially in the service sector, is likely to determine whether or not the BOJ considers additional monetary easing necessary. Weexpect the price boosting effect of the weaker yen to diminish during the summer, which suggests that the September-Octoberperiod will be the next checkpoint. As for the Abe administration’s announcement of its new growth strategy, there were nosurprises in the “third arrow” as many measures had already been reported. However, it is worth noting that not all policyinitiatives were included in the June announcement and more are expected toward the end of the year.

In terms of valuations, despite the recent increase in the TOPIX price-earnings ratio (PER), Japanese equities still appearrelatively attractive compared to their US and European counterparts, with an FY3/15 PER ratio standing at 14.4 and an FY3/16PER of 13.0 (as of June 30). We expect equity valuations in Japan to catch up with their global peers’ in the event of improvedmacroeconomic data and the bottoming out of corporate earnings in the July-September period. Meanwhile, we are closelymonitoring the main downside risks to the Japan equity market, which are: 1) a weaker than expected recovery in consumptiondue to a lack of real income growth; 2) a worsening labour shortage causing a contraction in margins, which could constrain theearnings recovery, and 3) a deterioration in the shipments/inventory balance.

Performance Commentary

For the half year ended June 2014, the Fund recorded a return of 6.51%, compared with the benchmark return of 6.44%, andtherefore outperformed the benchmark by 7 basis points.

In terms of asset allocation, the overweight position in the Philippines contributed positively along with steady economic growth.The overweight position in Thailand also added value, as the stock market rebounded, especially after the military governmenttook control and economic momentum was expected to pick up. Meanwhile the underweight positions in India and Indonesia,especially during the early part of this year, worked against the portfolio as macroeconomic conditions showed signs ofimprovement (such as the narrowing current account deficit), as well as a better political situation especially after the election inIndia.

Stock selection added value in China and Korea. In China, the overweight position in Nexteer Automotive contributed positively,as the share price strengthened on the back of attractive valuations as well as its ample order book. Overweight positions inTencent also added value, as the share price strengthened amid solid earnings momentum. In Korea, the overweight position inSK Hynix contributed positively, as the share price strengthened amid favorable supply demand conditions in the memory chipmarkets.

Investment Outlook

We expect the global economic recovery to continue at a moderate pace through the remainder of 2014. The US is expected torebound from a phase of weather induced weakness in the first four months of the year, whilst Europe is showing surprisingvigour given the depth of the problems that have overshadowed the peripheral economies.

On one hand they have hinted at a comprehensive reform program that will inevitably lead to aslower growth rate, yet they are still inclined to offer further economic stimulus at any sign of a slowdown.

This environment of slow economic growth and commensurate stimulus settings in Central Bank monetary policy shouldcontinue to drive stock prices higher.

In terms of country allocation, we will keep the underweight position in Korea. Analysis of recent global stock market returnssuggests that capital management, in the form of dividends, share buybacks and mergers and acquisitions made significantcontributions to overall returns. Unfortunately Korean companies tend to pay only lip service to such policies. Dividends arederisory, share buybacks virtually non-existent, and inefficient shareholding structures only serve to entrench family interests.The other major concern is the strength of the Korean won and its impact on margins. This is especially damaging given that fewKorean companies have shown much enthusiasm or aptitude for cutting costs.

Singapore will be kept overweight. Whilst the index heavyweights, property and banking stocks, are constrained somewhat by theGovernment’s attempts to cool the property market, there are some interesting individual stock ideas. Moreover, Singaporecompanies are well versed in capital management with high dividend pay-outs and ample M&A activity.

We increased the India exposure following the election and this will be maintained. We remain confident that Mr Modi’s reformcredentials could transform the country’s economy. To some extent this has been priced in already, but there is still sufficientskepticism to suggest further gains are likely.

Performance Commentary

Since inception, the Fund recorded a return of 2.64%, compared with the benchmark return of 2.45%, and therefore outperformedthe benchmark by 19 basis points.

Looking at the sectors of the market for this period, the US High Yield Index returned 2.16%, the Euro HY Index returned 0.89%,and the EM High Yield Index returned 4.26%.

Outperformance was primarily driven by credit selection in each region. The target allocation of the fund was held steady duringthis period at 63% US High Yield, 22% Euro HY, and 15% EM HY (split 10% for non-Asian EM and 5% for Asia).

Investment Outlook

This period was marked by falling government bond yields. The 10-year Treasury yield fell from 2.63% on April 11 to 2.53% onJune 30, 2014. We believe this was primarily because Chair Janet Yellen and the Federal Reserve (Fed) communicated a messagethat the economy continues to require simulative monetary policy. This led the markets to conclude that the Fed would likely raiserates more slowly than the market had feared. Our current expectation is the Fed brings the asset purchase program to a close thisfall and begins a slow increase in the Fed Funds rate in 2Q 2015. In addition, stimulus from the ECB and the rise is geopoliticaltensions also supported a fall in Treasury yields. The 10 year German bund fell from 1.50% to 1.25% as the European CentralBank (ECB) announced additional stimulus in June. Meanwhile, economic growth in the US as well as in EM seemed tomarginally pick up as the European outlook remained slow but stable. This improvement in the growth outlook, coupled with theoutlook for dovish monetary policy, was bullish for risk assets. Most equity markets rallied and global high yield spreads tightenedfrom 398 to 373 basis points.

During our accumulation of this fund, we over-weighted duration to take advantage of falling government yields as well asimproving credits. Overall, our yield is slightly higher than the index and our ratings are slightly lower. We over-weighted inrating B’s in the US and Europe to take advantage of improving credits, higher yields, and strong covenants. In the EM sector, ourratings posture is in line with the index.

The improving outlook for growth supported the global HY market during this period. In the US, Q1 GDP came in weaker thanexpected due to inclement weather and a drag from an inventory correction, but in Q2 non-farm payrolls averaged 272k job gainssuggesting solid growth in economic activity. Our strategy in US High Yield is to seek improving credits with the potential forpositive events. We are particularly positive on the wireless, finance, and consumer related selectors. Within European HY, we areoverweight the building materials, gaming and wireless sectors. We are market weight the banking sector which is the largestsector. EM HY performed the best during this period as the markets rallied due to an improved outlook for US and China growth.In addition, the market gained a little more confidence that the tensions between Russia and the Ukraine would not spill into abroad economic problem. Within EM, we have built a diversified portfolio including Brazilian beef, Peruvian power, and variousenergy and mining companies. We are underweight Russian issuers. Within Asia, we have tended to focus on well-capitalizedproperty issuers, as we believe they have more transparency and hard asset value than industrial issuers.

We are constructive on the fundamentals of the global high yield market. Solid growth with dovish monetary policy is a goodbackdrop for high yield. This backdrop also leads to a steady supply of positive capital market events, such as M&A, IPOs, andasset sales, which continue to benefit our high yield portfolios. Neither Russia-Ukraine tensions nor the Iraq conflicts are viewedas broader threats to the global high yield market at this time. The price of oil needs to be watched, but it has been fairly steady.We will focus the portfolio on improving credits from around the world as we remain vigilant about potential risks.

NOMURA FUNDS IRELAND PLC

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the half year ended 30th June, 2014

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements presented are unaudited condensed financial statements for the half year ended 30th June 2014. Theunaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended 31stDecember, 2013 which were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and Irishstatute comprising the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013, and the requirements of the European Communities (Undertakings forCollective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011 (as amended) (the “UCITS Regulations”).

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

(a) ClassificationThe Fund classifies its financial assests and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The category of financial assests andliabilities at fair value through profit or loss is sub-divided into financial assets and liabilities held for trading and thosedesignated by Directors at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition.

Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. This categoryincludes equity securities, investments in managed funds, debt instruments and participatory notes. These assets are acquiredprincipally for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuation in price. Derivatives of financial assets are alsoclassified as held for trading. The Fund’s policy is not to apply hedge accounting.

Units or shares in collective investment schemes are valued at the bid quotation or if unavailable the latest available net assetvalue or, if listed or traded on a regulated market, at the latest quoted trade price or the mid quotation or, if unavailable orunrepresentative, the latest available net asset value as deemed relevant to the collective investment scheme.

(b) Recognition/DerecognitionThe Fund recognises a financial asset or a financial liability when, and only when, it becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instrument. Purchases and sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised on tradedate – the date on which the Fund commits to purchase or sell the financial instrument. Financial assets at fair value throughprofit or loss are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets at fair value through profit or losshave expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Realised fair value gains and losses on disposals of financial instruments are calculated using the average cost method for theNomura Funds Ireland - Global Emerging Markets Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - India Equity Fund and the NomuraFunds Ireland - Asia Ex Japan Fund and the first in, first out method for the Nomura Funds Ireland - Global Emerging MarketEquity Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - Fundamental Index Global Equity Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - Japan StrategicValue Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - US High Yield Bond Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - NEWS Emerging MarketsSmall Cap Equity Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - Asian Smaller Companies Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - Japan HighConviction Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - Asia Ex Japan High Conviction Fund and the Nomura Funds Ireland - GlobalHigh Yield Bond Fund. The Fund derecognises a financial liability when the obligation under the liability is discharged,cancelled or expires.

(c) MeasurementFinancial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in the Statement of Financial Position atfair value. Transaction costs are expensed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Transaction costs are costs incurred toacquire financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. They include fees and commissions paid to agents,advisers and brokers. Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit orloss are measured at fair value (see Note (d)).

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profitor loss’ category are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise. Dividend incomefrom financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income withinoperating income when the Fund’s right to receive payments is established.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)For the half year ended 30th June, 2014

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (continued)

(d) Determination of fair valueFair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable willing parties inan arm’s length transaction. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as trading securities) is basedon quoted market prices at 3pm (Irish time) on the relevant dealing day. For the purpose of these financial statements, thequoted market price used is the quoted market prices at 3pm (Irish time) on the relevant dealing day. The fair value of financialinstruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Sub-Funds use a variety ofmethods and make assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each statement of financial position date.

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currencyThe functional and presentation currency of the Nomura Funds Ireland - Global Emerging Markets Fund, the Nomura FundsIreland - Global Emerging Market Equity Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - India Equity Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland -Asia Ex Japan Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - Fundamental Index Global Equity Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - USHigh Yield Bond Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - NEWS Emerging Markets Small Cap Equity Fund, the Nomura FundsIreland - Asian Smaller Companies Fund, the Nomura Funds Ireland - Asia Ex Japan High Conviction Fund and the NomuraFunds Ireland - Global High Yield Bond Fund is US Dollar. The functional and presentation currency of the Nomura FundsIreland - Japan Strategic Value Fund and the Nomura Funds Ireland - Japan High Conviction Fund is Japanese Yen. Thepresentation currency of the aggregated financial statements is US Dollar.

Transactions and balancesAssets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Sub-Fund are translated into thefunctional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in currencies otherthan the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of thetransactions. Gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income indetermining the result for the year. Proceeds from subscriptions and amounts paid for redemptions in currencies other than thefunctional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.

Futures contracts

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Sub-Fund is required to deposit with its futures broker, an amount of cash inaccordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are valued using quoted dailysettlement prices established by the exchange on which they trade. The Sub-Fund and the broker agree to exchange an amountof cash equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract (“variation margin”). For open futures, changes in thevalue of the contract are recognised as unrealised gains or losses by “marking-to-market” the value of the contract at thestatement of financial position date. When the contract is closed, the difference between the proceeds (or cost) of the closingtransactions and the original transaction is recorded as a realised gain or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Forward foreign currency contracts

All forward foreign currency contract commitments are marked to market at the applicable translation rates and any resultingunrealised gains or losses are recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Fund records realised gains or lossesupon closing of the forward foreign currency contracts. Where the Fund enters into forward foreign currency contracts as away of managing foreign exchange risk for specific unit classes, gains and losses from these contracts are allocated solely tothe corresponding unit classes.

These amounts are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision forimpairment for amounts due from brokers, if any. A provision for impairment of amounts due from brokers is establishedwhen there is objective evidence that the Fund will not be able to collect all amounts due from the relevant broker.

Cash at bank

Cash at bank includes cash in hand, deposits held on call with banks or brokers and other short-term highly liquid investmentswith original maturities of three months or less. Cash and other liquid assets are valued at their face value with interestaccrued, where applicable, to the valuation point on the relevant dealing day, unless in the opinion of the Directors (inconsultation with Nomura Asset Management U.K. Limited (the “Investment Manager”) and the Administrator), anyadjustment should be made to reflect the true value thereof.

Redeemable participating shares

The Fund issues redeemable participating shares, which are redeemable at the holder’s option and are classified as financialliabilities.

The redeemable participating share is carried at the redemption amount that ispayable at the statement of financial position date if the holder exercises the right to put the share back to the Fund.

Redeemable participating shares are issued and redeemed at the holder’s option at prices based on the Sub-Fund’s net assetvalue per share at the time of issue or redemption. The Sub-Fund’s net asset value per share is calculated by dividing the netassets attributable to the holders of redeemable participating shares with the total number of outstanding redeemableparticipating shares.

5. Financial risk management - Fair value estimation

The Fund has classified fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs usedin making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

(i) Level 1: Investments, whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and therefore classified withinlevel 1, include active listed equities and exchange traded derivatives. Quoted prices for these instruments are notadjusted.

(ii) Level 2: Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quotedmarket prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within level2. These include investment-grade corporate bonds, listed equities and over-the-counter derivatives. As level 2investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuationsmay be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available marketinformation.

5. Financial risk management - Fair value estimation (continued)

(iii) Level 3: Investments classified within level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently. Pricinginputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for theInstrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgement or estimation. Asobservable prices are not available for these securities, the Fund has used valuation techniques to derive the fair value, ifapplicable.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined onthe basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, thesignificance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement usesobservable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a level 3measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement,considering factors specific to the financial asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgement by the Directors in consultation with theInvestment Manager. The Directors consider observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularlydistributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involvedin the relevant market.

The following tables analyse within the fair value hierarchy the Sub-Funds’ financial assets and financial liabilities measuredat fair value at 30th June, 2014 and 31st December, 2013:

8. Efficient portfolio management

The Fund may employ (subject to the conditions and within the limits laid down by the Central Bank of Ireland) techniquesand instruments relating to transferable securities, including but not limited to futures contracts, stocklending, repurchaseagreements and reverse repurchase agreements and any other techniques and instruments the Investment Manager mayconsider appropriate for efficient portfolio management purposes.
