General Information
Background to the Common Contractual Fund
The Zurich Invest Common Contractual Fund (the “CCF”) is an open-ended umbrella common contractual fund, constituted by a
Deed of Constitution governed by the laws of Ireland and authorised under the Regulations by the Central Bank of Ireland (the
“Central Bank”).
The CCF was constituted on 30 April 2018 by the Deed of Constitution entered into by Carne Global Fund Managers (Ireland)
Limited (the “Manager”) and State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (the “Depositary”). As such, the CCF is not an
incorporated entity and does not have a separate legal personality. Instead, it is simply a description of a form of undivided co-
ownership by contractual arrangement whereby persons who acquire units and become legal unitholders in the CCF will have co-
ownership rights to the property of the relevant Fund of the CCF and the income that is derived from such property.
The CCF is authorised in Ireland as an undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities pursuant to the European
Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011, as amended (the “UCITS
Regulations”) and Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment
in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2015 (the “Central Bank UCITS Regulations”).
Units may be issued in relation to each Fund. Different Classes of Units may also be issued in relation to any Fund subject to
notifying and clearing in advance with the Central Bank of the creation of each Class of Units and the different Classes of Units
available for issue in each Fund will be set out in a Supplement for the relevant Fund. The different Classes of Units in a Fund may
have different charging structures, designation of units in different currencies or gains/losses on and costs of different financial
instruments employed for currency hedging between the Base Currency of a Fund or the underlying assets of a Fund and the
designated currency of the relevant Class of Units and the Minimum Initial Investment Amount and/or Minimum Additional
Investment Amount therefore may also differ. The different Classes of Units within a Fund together represent interests in a single
pool of assets of the Fund.
As an umbrella CCF with segregated liability between its funds, the Manager may create different funds from time to time.
As at 31 May 2020, the CCF has established one Fund namely Zurich Invest US Equity Index CCF Fund (the “Fund”), which
launched on 15 May 2018.
The Manager of the CCF is Carne Global Fund Managers (Ireland) Limited (the “Manager”), which in turn has appointed Deutsche
Asset Management International GmbH as Investment Manager (the “Investment Manager”) of the Fund. The Manager has also
appointed Zurich Invest Ltd as Global Services Co-ordinator (the “Global Services Co-ordinator”) of the Fund. Zurich Invest Ltd
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Zurich Insurance Company Ltd.
Net Asset Value and Valuation of Assets The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of the Fund is calculated by the Administrator as at the Valuation Point for each Dealing Day by
valuing the assets of the Fund and deducting there from the liabilities of the Fund. The NAV of a Fund divided by the number of
units of the relevant Fund in issue as at the relevant Valuation Point (where the resulting sum is rounded to two decimal places)
is equal to the NAV of a unit of the relevant Fund. Where there is more than one class in issue in a Fund, the NAV per unit of the
relevant class is calculated by determining that proportion of the NAV of the relevant Fund which is attributable to the relevant class
at the Valuation Point, and by dividing this sum by the total number of units of the relevant class in issue at the relevant Valuation
Point (which is set out in the supplement to the Prospectus for the relevant Fund). The price at which units of any class will be issued
or redeemed on a Dealing Day, after the initial issue, is based on the NAV per unit or NAV per unit of a relevant Class (where there
is more than one class in issue in a Fund). The NAV per unit is the resulting sum rounded to two decimal places.

Investment objective and policy
Zurich Invest US Equity Index CCF Fund
The investment objective of the Fund is to track, before fees and expenses, the return performance of the MSCI USA (NDR) Index
(the “Index”). In order to seek to achieve its investment objective, the Investment Manager will aim to invest in the underlying
equity and equity related securities of the Index in similar weighting given to such constituents in the Index. The Investment Manager
may however also invest in a sample of Index constituents whose risk, return and other characteristics (including for example
currency, sector and country exposure and/or liquidity) closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index
as a whole and in similar weighting given to such constituents in the Index. Therefore, while the Fund may from time to time invest
in all (or most) constituents of the Index, it is not expected that at all times it will hold every constituent (or a similar weighting
of any such constituent) of the Index.

Investment Manager’s Report
Coronavirus infects the financial markets
At the beginning of the new year, global equity markets continued their impressive momentum from the last quarter of 2019, before
falling sharply again from their new record levels. This was because the continuing spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and its
potential impact on the global economy scared investors. As the virus spread at an exponential rate, governments around the world
imposed temporary restrictions on public life (lockdowns). This led to a contraction of the global economy, and governments and
central banks took extraordinary measures to prevent a prolonged and deep economic crisis.
USD 2 trillion aid package and monetary policy support for the USA
As in China and Europe, the coronavirus spread rapidly in the USA and created a strong headwind for the US economy. At the end
of March, initial claims for unemployment benefits rose to an all-time high of over 6 million due to the sudden economic standstill.
The service sector was hit particularly hard by the consequences of the ban on contact and travel restrictions, with the purchasing
managers' index for the service sector falling to 39.1 points. The manufacturing sector held up better, but the sharp decline in new
orders suggested that worse might be ahead. At the end of March, the US Congress passed an aid package worth USD 2 trillion and
the Federal Reserve Bank (FED) also promised unlimited monetary policy support. These measures led to strong gains in US equity
markets at the end of the quarter.
Emergency bond purchase program and higher government spending in the euro zone
In order to compensate for the massive economic consequences of the corona pandemic in the euro zone, the economic stimulus
measures have been considerably extended. The European Central Bank announced an emergency bond purchase programme of
750 billion euros for the rest of this year. On the fiscal side, Germany has suspended its debt brake anchored in its constitution in
order to be able to spend more. Other eurozone countries also announced spending packages. In addition, numerous and extensive
programs to secure liquidity and for credit guarantees were set up.
Compensation for short-time working and refinancing facility in Switzerland
With fiscal measures amounting to around 6 percent of gross domestic product, the Swiss government took energetic action to
support companies and households. Short-time work compensation, which amounts to 80 percent of income, was extended. With
the COVID 19 refinancing facility, the Swiss National Bank offered bridge financing for companies in the event of liquidity
problems.
No fiscal policy measures in Japan yet
For the time being, Japan has only taken monetary policy measures to support the economy. This was because the number of
coronavirus infections was comparatively low compared to European countries. Although the Bank of Japan kept its key interest
rate unchanged, it decided to buy more corporate bonds and tradable fund units (ETFs) in the amount of 6 trillion yen (approx. 54
billion Swiss francs). The central bank also introduced a new instrument to facilitate bank lending to companies. While these various
measures were able to support the economy, fiscal policy measures may also be necessary in Japan in the future.
China's economy appears to be recovering
Towards the end of the quarter, the Chinese economy began to recover after the end of the lockdown. This was after the number of
new COVID-19 cases in China declined. Migrant workers gradually returned to the factories, Hubei Province was no longer locked
down and consumption began to recover. The purchasing managers' index also recovered from its record low of 29.6 points.
Nevertheless, the Chinese central bank announced further monetary policy measures to further support the economy. China, which
is further ahead than Western countries in overcoming the crisis, now seems to have the COVID-19 epidemic under control.
Strong price movements in physical gold
Despite sharp price movements, which could be due to emergency sales by investors, the gold price developed strongly in the first
quarter and is still at its highest level in over 6 years.

Regulations. The same accounting policies, critical estimates, assumptions and methods of computation have been followed in
these condensed unaudited financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the CCF’s annual financial statements.
Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amounts, events or actions, actual results ultimately
may differ from those estimates.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS as adopted by the European Union requires Management to
make certain accounting estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. It also
requires the Directors of the Manager to exercise critical judgement in the process of applying the CCF’s accounting policies.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
a) New standards, amendments and interpretations issued and effective for the financial period ended 31 May 2020
IFRS 16 “Leases” was issued in January 2016 and became effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The new
standard is not expected to have any impact on the CCF’s financial position, performance or disclosures in its financial
statements.
IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments” was issued in June 2017 and became effective for periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2019. It clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes which is applied to the determination of
taxable profits (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income
tax treatments in accordance with IAS 12. It clarifies that the CCF should consider whether tax treatments should be considered
independently or collectively, whether the relevant tax authority will or will not accept each tax treatment and, the requirement
to reassess its judgements and estimates if facts and circumstances change. The application of IFRIC 23 is not expected to have
a significant effect on the CCF’s financial position, performance or disclosures in its financial statements.
b) New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not effective for the financial period ended 31 May 2020
and not early adopted
IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” was issued in May 2017 and will become effective for accounting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2021. It applies to: insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts, issued by an entity; reinsurance contracts
held by an entity; and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued by an entity that issues insurance
contracts. An insurance contract is defined as ‘a contract under which one party (the issuer) accepts significant insurance risk
from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the
insured event) adversely affects the policyholder’. The new standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the CCF’s
financial position, performance or disclosures in its financial statements.
There are no further standards, amendments or interpretations to existing standards that would be expected to have a significant
impact on the CCF.
3. Taxation
Taxation of the CCF
The CCF is a common contractual fund as defined in section 739I of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 the (“TCA”), in which
the unitholders by contractual arrangement participate and share in the property of the CCF as co-owners.
Section 739I of the TCA provides that a common contractual fund shall not be chargeable to tax in respect of its relevant income
and relevant gains (relevant profits). Instead, the relevant profits of the common contractual fund shall be treated as arising, or
as the case may be, accruing to each unitholder of the common contractual fund in proportion to the value of the units
beneficially owned by the unitholder, as if the relevant profits had arisen or as the case may be, accrued, to the unitholders in
the common contractual fund without passing through the hands of the common contractual fund.
This tax treatment is subject to each of the units of the common contractual fund being an asset of a pension fund or being
beneficially owned by a person other than an individual, or being held by an intermediary, a depositary or trustee for the benefit
of a person other than an individual. On the basis that the units of the CCF are held by persons described above, the CCF shall
not be chargeable to tax in respect of its relevant profits.

3. Taxation (continued)
Taxation of Unitholders
Distributions, interest or capital gains (if any) derived from securities may be subject to taxes, including withholding taxes
imposed by the country of source. The CCF has been constituted by the Manager with the objective that it would be viewed as
tax transparent. As such, where double taxation treaties apply, those treaties between the countries where the unitholders and
the investments are located will be relevant. The objective of the Manager is that the CCF may effectively be ignored for double
taxation treaty purposes.
4. Operating Expenses
The CCF may pay out of the assets of the Fund the fees and expenses (including performance fees, if any) payable to (unless
excluded in the relevant Supplement):
the Manager, Investment Manager, the Depositary, the Administrator and any distributors (as may be set out in the relevant
Supplement);
the fees and expenses of any other service provider;
the fees and expenses of sub-custodians and any facilities agent/Paying Agent or representative appointed in compliance with
the requirements of another jurisdiction (which will be at normal commercial rates);
the fees and expenses of the auditors, tax and legal advisers;
any fees in respect of circulating details of the Net Asset Value, any costs incurred in respect of Unitholder communications
and/or approvals, marketing and distribution costs, costs incurred in respect of the distributions to Unitholders, the costs of
printing and distributing this Prospectus, any Supplements, Key Investor Information Documents (“KIIDs”), reports, accounts
and any explanatory memoranda, any necessary translation fees, the costs of publishing prices and any costs incurred as a
result of periodic updates of the Prospectus, or of a change in law or the introduction of any new law (including any costs
incurred as a result of compliance with any applicable code, whether or not having the force of law) and fees connected with
any listing the units on an exchange and/or market and registering the CCF for sale in other jurisdictions;
extraordinary expenses including litigation costs and any amount payable under indemnity provisions contained in the Deed
of Constitution or any agreement with any appointee of the Manager;
investment transaction charges (including brokerage costs or other expenses of acquiring and disposing of investments);
taxes including withholding taxes, stamp duties and value added tax;
borrowing costs;
in cases where investments of the Fund are held through wholly owned subsidiaries, the operating costs including audit and
administration fees and expenses may be charged as an expense of the Fund.
Such fees, duties and charges will be charged to the Fund in respect of which they were incurred or, where an expense is not
considered by the Manager to be attributable to any one Fund, the expense will be allocated by the Manager in such manner
and on such basis as the Manager in its discretion deems fair and equitable. In the case of any fees or expenses of a regular or
recurring nature, such as audit fees, the Manager may calculate such fees and expenses on an estimated figure for yearly or
other periods in advance and accrue the same in equal proportions over any period.
The cost of establishing the CCF, obtaining authorisation from the Central Bank, where applicable listing the Funds on Euronext
Dublin, filing fees, the preparation and printing of this Prospectus and the fees of all professionals relating to it, including tax
and legal advice, incurred in relation to obtaining authorisation of the CCF and approval of its initial Fund will be paid by
Zurich Insurance Company Ltd. The costs of establishing subsequent Funds may be borne by the relevant Fund and where
appropriate details thereof will be set out in the relevant Supplement.

7. Financial instruments and associated risks
The CCF is exposed to a variety of financial risks in pursuing its stated investment objective and policy such as: credit risk, liquidity
risk and market risk (which in turn includes currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk). The CCF takes exposure to certain of these
risks to generate investment returns on its portfolio, although these risks can also potentially result in a reduction in the CCF’s net
assets. The Investment Manager will use its best endeavors to minimise the potentially adverse effects of these risks on the CCF’s
performance where it can do so while still managing the investments of the CCF in a way that is consistent with the CCF’s investment
objective and policy.
(a) Market risk
Market price risk is defined as risk that the fair value of a financial instrument or its future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes
in market prices. The Fund holds equity investments and is directly affected by movements in market prices.
The management of market risk is effected through asset allocation and diversification based on the Fund’s investment objective
as well as the Investment Manager’s developed investment process, which includes in-depth research as well as continuing analysis
of invested companies and the macroeconomics of the invested areas.
The maximum risk arising from an investment in a financial instrument is determined by the fair value of the financial instruments.
The value of market price risk that the Fund is exposed to at 31 May 2020 is the fair value of investments as disclosed in the Fund’s
Schedule of Investments.
(i) Foreign Currency risk
Currency risk is defined as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in foreign exchange rates. The Fund is exposed to currency risk as monetary assets and liabilities of the Fund may be denominated in
a currency other than the functional currency of the Fund. Currency risk on non-monetary assets i.e. equities, is included in market
price risk.

(continued)
7. Financial instruments and associated risks (continued)
(a) Market risk (continued)
(i) Foreign Currency risk (continued)
The fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the currency in which the asset or liability is denominated and the functional currency
could result in an appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of that asset. In accordance with the Fund's policy, the Investment
Manager monitors the Fund's currency exposure on a regular basis and the Investment Manager may attempt to mitigate this risk by
using financial derivative instruments.
The Fund may use financial derivative instruments on behalf of a specific Class in order to hedge some or all of the foreign exchange
risk for such Class. The Fund that hedges foreign exchange risk for any Class may enter into forward currency contracts in order to
hedge some or all of the foreign exchange risk for the relevant Class. To the extent that hedging is successful, the performance of the
relevant Class is likely to move in line with the performance of the underlying assets. The use of hedged currency Classes may
substantially limit holders of the relevant Classes from benefiting if the currency of each of these Classes falls against the base currency
and/or the currency in which the assets of the Fund are denominated. The Fund had not engaged in any hedging
as at 31 May 2020.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates. The Fund holds equity investments which are non-interest bearing.
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk on the cash it holds, the value of which is as disclosed in the Condensed Statement of Financial
Position. The Fund is not subject to significant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates as
any excess cash is invested at short term market interest rates.
The Fund’s interest rate risk is monitored on an ongoing basis by the Investment Manager.
(b) Liquidity risk
The Fund’s assets generally comprise of equity securities. Liquidity is a factor that the Investment Manager considers when investing
in any financial instrument. The main financial liability of the Fund is the redemption of redeemable participating units. As the Fund
is open ended, the Fund is required to redeem units on request by Unitholders at a price equivalent to the Net Asset Value per unit,
subject to settlement and dealing restrictions laid down in the Prospectus. All of the Fund's investments held are equity securities and
can be sold promptly at a fair price and converted into cash within seven days. All financial liabilities of the Fund held at the financial
period ended 31 May 2020 and the financial year ended 30 November 2019, fall due within one month.
The Investment Manager manages the Fund's liquidity position on a daily basis. Also the Investment Manager is able, through the
provisions in the Prospectus, to defer the processing of redemptions of significant size to facilitate an orderly disposition of securities
in order to protect the interest of the remaining Unitholders.
(c) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or counterparty may be unable to meet a commitment that it has entered into with the CCF. The
Fund has exposure to counterparty risk on cash balances held with the Depositary. Investments in equity securities are not exposed to
credit risk except for exposure to the Depository.

7. Financial instruments and associated risks (continued)
(c) Credit risk (continued)
The CCF’s Depositary is State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited. All of the assets and cash of the Fund is held within the
custodial network of the Depositary. Bankruptcy or insolvency of the Depositary or of its parent company, State Street Corporation,
may cause the Fund’s rights with respect to its equity securities and cash held by the Depositary to be delayed or limited. The S&P
credit rating of State Street Corporation as at 31 May 2020 is A (30 November 2019: A).
All securities, cash at bank balances and bank overdrafts and cash or non-cash collateral received by the Fund are held by the
Depositary through its affiliates in the State Street group, or through a sub-depositary within the State Street custodial network.
Derivatives, cash deposited as margin or other similar investments/monies deposited by or entered into on behalf of the CCF with a
counterparty, options exchange, clearing broker or other parties are not held within the State Street custodial network. The Depositary
is therefore not liable in any way for the default of any counterparty.
The Investment Manager may use forward currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency exposure. These have a similar credit
or default risk to a regular currency spot transaction. Forward currency contracts are ‘Over the Counter’ traded and therefore have
counterparty risk which arises from the potential failure of counterparties to meet their obligations under the contract or arrangement.
Forward contracts also carry roll risk, which is the risk that when a forward contract expires, a new forward to replace the expired one
cannot be put into place at the same cost or on the same hedge basis. This may occur due to changes in market liquidity or interest
rates, resulting in a potential slippage or loss in the hedge position due to the contract expiration and roll. As at 31 May 2020 and 30
November 2019 the Fund had not entered into any forward currency contracts.
The Fund’s credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis by the Investment Manager.
Offsetting financial assets and liabilities
The Fund was not subject to offsetting agreements during the financial period ended 31 May 2020 and financial year ended 30
November 2019.
(d) Fair Value Hierarchy
In relation to fair value measurement, IFRS 13 Fair value measurement requires the CCF to classify fair value measurements using a
fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.
IFRS 13 requires an entity to provide a quantitative and qualitative analysis of those instruments recognised at fair value based on a
three-level measurement hierarchy.
The fair value hierarchy has the following levels as defined under IFRS 13:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices)
or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis
of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement
uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement.
Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors
specific to the asset or liability.

7. Financial instruments and associated risks (continued)
(d) Fair Value Hierarchy (continued)
The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgement by the CCF. The CCF considers observable data
to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided
by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.
Cash at bank, bank overdrafts and other short-term investments in an active market are categorised as Level 1.
Receivable for securities sold and other receivables include the contractual amounts for settlement of trades and other obligations due
to the CCF. Payable for securities purchased and other payables represent the contractual amounts and obligations due by the CCF
for settlement of trades and expenses. All receivable and payable balances are categorised as Level 2.
The redeemable units can be repurchased by the CCF at any time for cash equal to a proportionate unit of the Fund's net asset value.
These units are not traded on an active market. Level 2 is deemed to be the most appropriate categorisation for net assets attributable
to holders of redeemable units.
The following table analyses within the fair value hierarchy of financial assets measured at fair value at 31 May 2020.

646,494,421 - - 646,494,421
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the end of the financial period and are deemed to
have occurred when the pricing source or methodology used to price an investment has changed which triggers a change in level as
defined under IFRS 13. There were no transfers between levels during the financial period ended 31 May 2020 and financial year
ended 30 November 2019.
8. Foreign Exchange Rates
The following exchange rates (against the USD) were used to convert the investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in

15. Significant events during the financial period
Kevin Nolan resigned as a Director of the Manager on 18 December 2019.
David McGowan was appointed as a Director of the Manager on 12 February 2020.
The COVID-19 epidemic is believed to have originated in Wuhan, Hubei, China. While containment efforts were made to slow
the spread of the epidemic the outbreak has now spread globally and has led to the World Health Organisation declaring the
COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic on 11 March 2020. The Board is aware that global financial markets have been monitoring and
reacting to the outbreak. All markets have incurred increased volatility and uncertainty since the onset of the pandemic.
The Board has also noted the operational risks that are posed to the Fund and its service providers due to global and local
movement restrictions that have been enacted by various governments. COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented event and the
eventual impact on the global economy and markets will largely depend on the scale and duration of the outbreak. We have
reviewed the viability of the Fund as a result of increased market volatility and uncertainty and can confirm that the Fund is still
a viable going concern. The Board will continue to monitor this situation as the ultimate extent of the effect of this on the entity
is not possible to estimate at this time.
There have been no other significant events during the financial period.
16. Significant events since the financial period end
Since the period end the performance of the Fund to 13 July 2020 has been 4.34%.
Subscriptions to the Fund were Nil from period end to 13 July 2020 and redemptions were €9,166,618 for the same period.
There have been no other significant events affecting the CCF since 31 May 2020 that require amendment to or disclosure in the
Financial Statements.
17. Approval of financial statements
The Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 24 July 2020.
