    Economic context The desynchronised growth of the world economy continued to be an ongoing trend and a source of concern, especially as major international organisations were forced to regularly downgrade their growth forecasts following disappointing results in the emerging economies. In view of this situation, and although the downgrading of indicators in most of the major emerging countries (with the exception of Brazil) ended at the close of the year, this was not welcome news to investors. On the contrary, renewed weakness in oil from November onwards reignited fears about global growth although the price was more a reflection of the imbalance between excess supply (due to OPEC’s refusal to set production quotas) and limited demand, especially following a very mild early winter in Europe and North America. United States GDP fluctuated in a fairly volatile manner during the year: after modest growth in the first quarter due to weather conditions and the shut-down affecting ports on the west coast, GDP bounced back sharply in the second quarter (almost 4% year-on-year) then stabilised at around 2%. Inventory adjustments played a role in the fluctuation of GDP and business activities. In fact, widespread de-stocking since the summer has negatively affected the manufacturing sector, casting a shadow over the surveys of purchasing managers (as also seen in the ISM index which fell below 50 in November compared with 53.5 in June), along with industrial production and investments. This downturn has alarmed some observers who believed that these could be the first signs the economy was running out of steam. The facts did not support this assumption, as the service sector managed to withstand the industrial vacuum and the housing market rose sharply, with the outlook remaining very encouraging. Finally, in terms of private consumption the trends have been more regular and this sector has seen steadier growth, reflecting the undeniable improvement in the labour market. With 2.7 million jobs created in 2015 and the unemployment rate falling to 5% in October, full employment is on the horizon. Up to now wages have only risen moderately for several reasons: the use of part-time jobs by companies is still high and households continue to question the possibility of easily finding a new job. However, several surveys have revealed that businesses, especially smaller ones, are looking for qualified employees and are willing to increase wages significantly to take on and retain staff. A rise in wages is set to become a more widespread trend. Inflation remained low in 2015 (0.5% year-on-year in November) due to the effects of the lower oil price during the previous year. The Fed believes that this should be a temporary phenomenon. Inflation, excluding food and energy, rose from 1.6% in January to 2% in November year-on-year, a trend that validated this assumption. Europe GDP was up strongly in the euro zone from the start of the year onwards, with a quarterly rise from 0.3% to 0.5%, and the rate standing at 1.6% year-on-year in the third quarter (compared with 0.8% a year earlier), the highest rise since mid-2011. Growth was above expectations due to consumption that remained strong throughout the year and good performance by the exports sectors in the first six months. Investment in productive assets is still not picking up convincingly. The steady improvement in the distribution of credit to the private sector was a positive point. Low interest rates in line with the extremely accommodating monetary policy of the ECB further emphasised this trend. Moreover, banks are reporting that the demand for credit is rising. Finally, according to the survey of purchasing managers, the expansion rate for total business (manufacturing and service sectors combined) rallied in December to reach a four-month high. This rising trend at the end of the year appeared very encouraging. According to several official institutions, GDP growth in the 4th quarter should stand at 0.4%, close to the rate observed since the end of 2014. This performance is even more remarkable given the occurrence of number of events in 2015 likely to affect the confidence of economic operators: the first six months were marked by the Greek crisis and the second half of the year witnessed regional and general elections that resulted in a fairly confusing political landscape in several countries (Portugal and Spain) and the widespread rise of Euro-sceptic parties in response to the refugee crisis, not to mention the tragic events which cast a pall over Paris. Inflation, which stood at -0.6% year-on-year in January, remained very weak (+0.2% in November). Japan In Japan, GDP rose sharply in the first quarter of 2015 after a year that had witnessed a technical recession following the increase in VAT on 1 April 2014. After this, growth was much more faltering, even raising fears of a return to recession. The PMI index, which reflects the survey of purchasing managers in the manufacturing sector, dropped from 52 at the end of 2014 to around 50 in the spring before resuming an upward trend and closing the year at 52.6. Through its exporting companies, the Japanese economy is suffering from the difficulties in China, while domestic demand appears to be picking up, linked to an improving job market (the unemployment rate stood at 3.3% at year-end). With inflation again standing at close to zero in the second half of the year (0.3% in November year-on-year compared with 2.4% in January), the Bank of Japan was forced to acknowledge that it would not meet its target of 2% within the expected deadline.

    Emerging markets Although the OECD forecast in June 2015 that the GDP of emerging economies would increase by 4.2% in 2015 and 4.9% in 2016, in November the organisation published a new report predicting figures of 3.7% and 4.2% respectively. Among the leading countries, only India reported faster growth in 2015. The staggering drop in the price of oil from mid-2014 and another drop in mid-2015 obviously affected commodity-producing countries. Logically, this situation should have a positive effect on Asia; however, the slowdown in activity in China and concerns about the nature of the slowdown had a negative effect on the more cyclical stocks from this region. Following changes to the Chinese business model, the official target was lowered to 6.5% for the coming years compared with 7% previously. In this context, the aggregated PMI index, which reflects the opinions of purchasing managers on emerging economies, fell below 50 in the spring, thus revealing a contraction in manufacturing activity. The trend over the last quarter was a little more encouraging; however, the index failed to rise above 50. Signs of improvement are currently very tenuous and mostly hidden by the difficulties of the major economies. Russia and Brazil are both in recession due to the tense foreign relations situation in the former country and a major power struggle in the latter. The difficulties in Russia are mainly due to declining oil prices, while in Brazil the crisis is more deep-rooted. In fact, President Dilma Rousseff is facing impeachment following a corruption scandal. Inflation has also reached its highest point since 2002, meaning that the central bank will continue to increase its rates after the 250 bp rise in 2015. Monetary policy In 2015, the monetary policy of the European Central Bank (ECB) reached another decisive turning point. On 22 January, a QE (Quantitative Easing) programme comparable to the policy rolled out in the United States and United Kingdom was announced. The key feature of the programme is €60 billion per month of asset purchases. In addition to the covered bonds and asset-backed securities (ABS) purchased since the autumn of 2014, the programme now includes securities (including inflation-indexed securities) issued by supranational agencies and governments. Purchases of government bonds, which began on 9 March, also include securities with a negative interest rate, with the deposit rate used as a limit. For several months after the roll-out of these operations, the comments made by the ECB mainly consisted of saying that the programme was operating “without any difficulties” and would continue until at least September 2016. The financial turbulence in the summer and inflation that remained very low in the euro zone led some observers to consider the announcement of additional measures. In October, Mario Draghi also hinted that far-reaching measures would be announced in December and other extremely accommodating statements further fuelled expectations in November such as: “we will do what we need to do to increase inflation as soon as possible”. This attitude may have been counter-productive as on 3 December the ECB failed to live up to expectations by only lowering the deposit facility rate by 10 bp (to stand at -0.30%), leaving the two other key interest rates unchanged (the interest rate on the main refinancing operations has stood at 0.05% and the marginal lending facility rate at 0.30% since September 2014) and extending purchases of securities under the scope of QE until “March 2017 or beyond if necessary”. A decision was also taken to “reinvest the principal payments on the securities purchased under the public sector asset purchasing programme as they mature”. The monetary policy was therefore more accommodating than in October in order to ensure that inflation (0.2% year-on-year in November) returned to levels “below but close to 2%”. While the ending of the monthly securities purchasing scheme in November 2014 for the purpose of normalising its monetary policy failed to trigger any specific reaction, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) has found it trickier to control expectations on interest rates. The forward-looking statements in the official communiqué issued after each monetary policy committee have changed over the months. The Fed took a decisive step in March by refusing to fix a timetable stating that the economic situation would determine the decision to raise rates. Moreover, Janet Yellen indicated that once the increase starts, the rise will be gradual; she also restated that monetary policy should be forward-looking. Linking monetary policy decisions and economic data has unfortunately complicated the analysis, since the latter has been particularly volatile since the start of 2015 and expectations of higher rates only slowly gained ground and continued to fluctuate until the autumn. After raising concerns about growth by failing to increase the key rates in September (due to the difficult international financial situation), it was right at the end of the year (16 December) that Janet Yellen was finally able to announce the abandonment of the zero-rate policy that had been in force since the end of 2008. The ground for such an action had been well prepared during the previous meeting. The target federal funds rate in the US will now range between 0.25% and 0.50% and the Fed is considering further increases in the coming months (a total of 100 bp in 2016 according to the forecasts supplied by all the participants at the FOMC).

    Foreign exchange markets Volatility on the foreign exchange market remained high in 2015, attaining at the start of year the levels seen in 2012 and 2013 for currencies of the major developed countries, with emerging currencies even exceeding these levels. The reason for this feverish climate was the prospect of the Fed increasing interest rates, which would be likely to trigger capital flows within the emerging areas. In addition, the difficulties experienced by commodity-producing countries played a role and also affected the currencies of developed countries (CAD, AUD, NZD, NOK). Moreover, two adjustments of the exchange rate policy revived the spectre of a currency war, further highlighting the nervousness. This was due, firstly, to the totally unexpected decision of the SNB (Swiss National Bank) on 15 January to scrap the cap on its currency put in place in September 2011 and, secondly, the surprise devaluation of the Chinese yuan in August, clumsily implemented by the Central Bank. The extremely accommodating policy put in place by the ECB – widening the difference between its monetary policy and that of the United States – was responsible for changes in the EUR/USD rate. After this wave of extremely wide fluctuations (1.05–1.21), the euro had dropped by 10.3% against the dollar in the space of twelve months to stand at 1.0861. A low was reached in March (the lowest point since January 2003), and concerns about Greece further penalised the euro. The exchange rate then moved up and down without any great direction, fluctuating several times above 1.14 on the basis of elements such as economic data, political developments and trends on other financial markets. In October, the theme of divergent actions from the central banks returned to the fore. The exchange rate returned virtually to its low point in early December in anticipation of another major easing programme until the actual announcements dashed hopes and saw it return to 1.10. The USD/JPY exchange rate went over 120 in late December 2014 (the highest point since mid-2007) before fluctuating widely around this level until May. It did not manage to settle long term at 125 – the level attained during the summer – as the announcements from the Bank of Japan and the government about their willingness to retain the “weak yen” policy were fairly vague. In August, the announced devaluation of the Chinese yuan temporarily brought the exchange rate to 116 before it stabilised at around 120 until October. For the rest of the year, fluctuations moved within a slightly broader range (120–124) without reflecting much conviction on the part of traders as the Bank of Japan continued to maintain a degree of uncertainty about its future securities purchasing operations and simply made a minor adjustment in December. The USD/JPY rate ended the year at 120.20, a 0.3% rise. Bond markets In twelve months, the yield of 10-year US T-notes fell by 10 bp: after fluctuating between 1.65% in January (the lowest point since May 2013) and 2.50% during the summer, it ended the year at 2.27%. The annual change seems modest when taking into account the fact that the Fed stopped QE at the end of 2014 and that a 25 bp rise in interest rates occurred in December. Furthermore, although volatile, the economic data has reflected a steady improvement in the job market, which is a key factor for solid growth. In a reversal of the customary relationship between American and European bonds, as a result of the ECB’s asset purchasing programme from March onwards, the sharp easing in the euro zone up to April mechanically strengthened the yield offered by US securities. In May and June, the speed and the magnitude of the pressure on German rates weighed heavily on US markets. In terms of bonds, the year witnessed several peaks in volatility as a result of trends on other financial markets. While the level of US long-term interest rates in June and July (around 2.50%) seemed to correctly reflect the improvement in US domestic demand, concerns about global growth and the renewed weakness of commodity prices led to an easing of long-term interest rates, exacerbated by the difficulties experienced by shares. From August onwards, the 10-year rate fluctuated within a narrower range (2%–2.35%) in line with the Fed’s monetary policy. The surprise decision to maintain the status quo in September saw a significant easing of long-term interest rates while the eagerly awaited rise in interest rates in December had an impact on the short section of the curve: the 2-year rate ended the year at 1.05% (compared with 0.66% at the end of 2014) – the highest rate since the spring of 2010 – in view of expectations of a continued normalisation of rates in 2016. In the euro zone, the trends observed for government bonds primarily reflected the ECB’s monetary policy (expectations and decisions). It seems paradoxical that the German 10-year Bund’s yield dropped by 9 bp in twelve months as the ECB announced in January a massive securities purchasing policy that was implemented from March onwards. This performance was due to the excessive easing implemented during the first four months of the year. Against a backdrop of a very accommodating monetary policy and a sharp slowdown in inflation, the German 10-year rate dropped from 0.54% at the end of 2014 to below 0.08% on 20 April 2015, in a virtually uninterrupted movement. The safe-haven investment status of German Government bonds played a role in the easing of rates in view of concerns arising in particular from the heated discussions between Greece and its creditors. The subsequent sharp correction was triggered by technical factors, special market conditions and adjustments of positions by hedge funds. After initially settling at around 0.60%, the yield of the German 10-year Bund was around 1% on 10 June. It then resumed a bearish trend, though a weaker and much more uneven one than in the spring.

    The end of the year was characterised by increased volatility triggered by the words of Mario Draghi, who raised hopes before dashing them by easing monetary policy a little more (but less than expected). During the second half of the year, investors, without taking economic fundamentals into consideration, were inclined to take profits each time the yield of German Bunds dipped below 0.50%. The Bund ended 2015 at 0.63%. Equity markets

    The MSCI AC World Index (in USD) posted an annual drop of 4.3% and the MSCI Emerging index (in USD) was down by 17%. From this perspective, 2015 was a bad year. At the same time, S&P 500 was down 0.7% – a disappointing performance – while the Eurostoxx 50 was up 3.9% and the Nikkei 225 up 9.1%, with all these indices expressed in the local currencies. The figures mentioned above are variations in the price of the indices excluding dividends reinvested. The first half of the year was generally positive, particularly in Europe and Japan, and the gains amassed then compensated for the second half of the year, which was more or less negative on all of the major markets. There were several peaks in volatility during the summer months when the markets experienced stress levels not seen since the European sovereign crisis. Several factors explained the jitteriness of investors. In Greece, after Alexis Tsipras won the elections on a platform of rejecting the reforms and measures associated with the European and international bailout packages, the Greek issue returned to centre stage. In July, while Greece seemed to be on the edge of bankruptcy and the euro zone about to split apart, the compromises reached in extremis were enough to reassure investors despite the enormity of the Greek debt placing an ongoing threat on the country’s future. Fears then began to focus on China. The sharp correction of stock exchanges in mainland China from the middle of June induced the authorities to put in place various support and control measures, though without producing tangible results. Doubts about the health of the Chinese economy were then fuelled by disappointing economic data. The surprise devaluation of the yuan against the dollar in August increased nervousness. Finally, the further drop in the price of oil from late June (although the price of a barrel of WTI had returned to $60 compared with less than $45 in March) was interpreted as a clear sign of a global economic slowdown. At year-end, OPEC’s decision not to set production quotas drove the price of a WTI barrel below $35. In one year, the price of oil, which had fallen 46% in 2014, dropped another 30%. International equities fell sharply in August. The role of central bankers was again decisive this year. Fluctuations in monetary policy expectations, especially in the United States and in the euro zone, triggered sharp variations on the stock markets, reflecting a certain continued “addiction” of investors to liquid stocks. European equities benefited in the first half of the year from the roll-out of the ECB’s quantitative easing programme. The recovery of global equities in October (which did not last) was based on hopes of a widening of the easing programme from the ECB. It took a while for the message from the Chairman of the Fed to be clearly understood; however, the rise in American interest rates announced in December was ultimately fairly well accepted.

    Audit report

    To the Shareholders of PARVEST We have audited the accompanying financial statements of PARVEST and of each of its sub-funds, which comprise the statement of net assets and the securities portfolio as at 31 December 2015 and the statement of operations and changes in net assets for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes to the financial statements. Responsibility of the Board of Directors of the SICAV for the financial statements The Board of Directors of the SICAV is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation of the financial statements and for such internal control as the Board of Directors of the SICAV determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Responsibility of the “Réviseur d’entreprises agréé” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as adopted for Luxembourg by the “Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier”. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the judgment of the “Réviseur d’entreprises agréé”, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the “Réviseur d’entreprises agréé” considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors of the SICAV, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
