ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022
During the start of the reporting period, the strong market performance from April carried over into the first quarter.
Economic activity continued to gather pace on the back of reopening steps and vaccination campaigns. Thanks to continued
generous monetary and fiscal policy support measures economies showed significant momentum and leading indicators
remained well within the green in both industrialised and developing countries with few exceptions. While higher
government bond yields in developed markets provided headwinds during the start of the year, lower yields in the second
quarter took some pressure away. Crude oil prices already reached a three-year high during the second quarter of 2021 on
the back of expectations for a strong recovery of global demand. There was a record issuance of ESG-labelled bonds. Higher
commodity prices and a weakening US dollar also increased the appetite for emerging market bonds and currencies. Owing
to base effect and some pandemic-related supply-side constraints, inflation pressures however started to mount with US
inflation reaching its highest level in more than a decade at around 5%. But developed market central banks were
unimpressed by this development, noting the temporary nature of the rise in inflation, and reaffirmed their expansionary
stance.
In emerging markets however, some central banks started to adopt a more hawkish language or in fact hiked rates to address
higher inflation, which resulted in negative bond returns in some of the markets. The result of this was that over the first
quarter bond returns contributed negatively to total returns, while carry and currencies added to total returns. On a regional
level Middle East/Africa was the best performer, driven by returns from South Africa on the back of strong commodity
prices. Other regions posted positive returns as well. In Latin America, performance across countries was very different.
Political tensions in Chile, Peru and Colombia took their tolls on returns and all three posted negative returns over the
quarter. In contrast, Brazil delivered double-digit returns and was the best performing country in the universe.
In the equity market, the cyclical dynamics between industrialized and emerging economies diverged further. Whereas
previously this pattern was primarily due to differences in policy responses to the pandemic, variations in vaccine access
and distribution as well as in the attitudes toward easing social restrictions played a larger role in this phase. In most European
countries, robust cyclical recoveries set in when COVID-19-related restrictions began to be lifted in spring 2021. Inflation
rates also began to recover rapidly from their pandemic lows, reflecting base effects in the wake of returning consumer
demand on the one hand, as well as numerous global supply bottlenecks on the other. In June, quickly rising producer and
consumer prices finally led to the first discussions about the exact timing of ending expansive monetary policies from major
global central banks, led by the US Federal reserve but also including the Bank of England. European stock markets benefited
mainly from the economic reopening, the recovery in the tourism industry, and a strong foreign demand.
The summer was a period of low activity, as investors were waiting for guidance about the timeline for reducing the stimulus
injected into the system by the US Federal Reserve’s asset purchase program, which was expected to be announced at the
annual Jackson Hole Symposium at the end of August. After the rapid bounce back in activity following the pandemic, early
signs of a slowdown were emerging, leading investors to position for a relatively slow removal of liquidity. Although the
comments at the Symposium was relatively mild, they did not provide fuel to further drive developed market yields lower.
The pick-up in inflation on a global scale started gathering attention during the summer, especially as energy prices kept
creeping up in combination with other commodities and food prices. The initial interpretation of this being a transitory
phenomenon started getting questioned as the higher inflation numbers remained elevated and worries about supply side
bottlenecks started appearing frequently in the news. The ongoing discussion about a possible structural shift in inflation
spooked the markets somewhat.
Between August and October 2021, market participants’ nerves were somewhat more strained as the cyclical peak in growth
had been passed, and the persistent supply chain bottlenecks increasingly weighed on the economy. At the same time, higher
inflation brought the timing of the expected monetary tightening forward somewhat, pushing up yields in the fixed income
markets. In addition, negative news-flow from China caused turbulence in the financial markets, as Beijing’s broad-based
wave of regulation and the potential collapse of construction giant Evergrande fueled uncertainty. There were encouraging
signs on the coronavirus front, where hospitalisation rates peaked in most major economies. While the primary market
remained very dry, spreads in corporate cash continued to be relatively immune to the macro and, moved sideways on tight
levels. Central bank support, coupled with solid credit fundamentals kept credit markets expensive.

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022
After a wait-and-see mood during the summer months, markets got worried about the timeframe for reduction of global
liquidity at the same time as the transitory nature of higher inflation numbers across the globe started to be questioned. The
international rebound cycle in equities peaked in the third quarter of 2021. Inflation rates continued to climb during this
period, as global supply bottlenecks proved rather sticky. Despite these developments, monetary policy makers maintained
a dovish bias. While acknowledging the robust economy and the tightening labour market, there were also frequent warnings
that premature rate hikes could undo this progress. The financial markets welcomed these policy signals, and equity prices
initially continued to move higher. Towards the end of the quarter, sentiment began to falter somewhat as economists started
to revise growth forecasts downward and inflation estimates upward. In addition, news that a large Chinese real estate
developer had run into payment difficulties due to over-indebtedness began to impact markets.
During the reporting period between November 2021 to January 2022, rising inflation and rising COVID cases soured credit.
However, the Omicron impact was short-lived as investors considered the economic impact of the new coronavirus variant
to be mild. Toward the end of the year, the pace of economic activity at the global level slowed but remained high. Solid
economic data and easing Omicron concerns fuelled investor buying. Positive momentum was also provided by the strong
US reporting season, where corporate profit margins reached new highs. US inflation hit the highest level since 1982.
Persistently high price pressure prompted central banks around the world to tighten the reins on monetary policy. Despite
the increase in volatility during the quarter, notably in November, credit spreads remained near the top of the 2021 trading
range. However, appetite for fixed income as an asset class remained strong, as the new issue markets attested. The markets
geared up for a potentially faster reaction by central banks, particularly the Fed. Despite the underlying inflationary
pressures, especially in energy prices the momentum in the US, break-even rates weakened. Nevertheless, global inflation
linked bonds outperformed conventional bonds, while corporates underperformed in an overall risk-off environment. The
more hawkish speeches and actions from central banks on the back of a changing view towards the transitory nature of the
inflation. China’s tight credit conditions and stresses in the local real estate market also weighed on markets. US yields
continued to rise as did the US dollar. Yields in emerging markets steadily rose throughout the quarter, while USD strength
acted as a headwind for EM currency returns.
The fourth quarter of the reporting period started with a fairly positive tone, but risky assets ran into headwinds as February
progressed. The continued deterioration in the global inflation picture led to a dramatic re-pricing of monetary policy. Driven
by a broad-based rally in food and energy prices the market had moved to pricing in the first Fed hike already in March and
pricing in almost 200bps of further tightening. The negative news flow regarding China’s real estate sector continued with
no meaningful stimulus measures announced to stabilize the situation. At the same time, China was facing further growth
challenges from the implementation of its zero Covid policy. Geopolitical tensions flared up.
The final quarter of the reporting period was overshadowed by the Ukraine war which started in the second half of February.
In addition to the conflict and related uncertainty regarding an escalation and sanctions, a broad range of global drivers
triggered spread volatility throughout the last quarter. These drivers included inflation numbers on both sides of the Atlantic,
the rally in commodity prices as well as the potential for food supply chain disruption. Notably February was quite a
challenging month for fixed income markets. In the first half of the month, investors focused mainly on central banks and
concerns about a faster tightening cycle by monetary authorities to dampen inflation fears. In the second half of the month,
the Russian attack on Ukraine unsettled global markets, triggered an oil and gas price rally, and led to a flight to safe assets.
In this environment of rising energy prices, inflation expectations increased significantly, leading to a rise in yields
worldwide. Emerging market government bonds, along with corporate bonds, suffered the most. On the other side, inflation-
linked bonds outperformed their nominal counterparts significantly. The sharp rise in commodity prices triggered by the
Ukraine war had led to sky-rocketing inflation data in March. Repeating upward-surprising inflation data in the US and the
euro zone pushed central bankers to a more hawkish stance. For bond markets, these developments meant a sell-off. In this
environment, inflation-linked bonds again outperformed their nominal counterparts. The credit segment performed similarly
to the government bond segment. Towards month-end credit markets improved following news that there could be a ceasefire
between Russia and Ukraine. However so far these hopes were dashed. Additionally, CPI numbers in central and southern
Europe showed the challenges the ECB still faced to get inflation under control. The inversion of the US yield curve and a
dramatic weakening in sentiment in Europe have raised concerns about the risk of recession in both regions. The war had
been directly causing shortages of energy, industrial and food resources, and thus leading to higher prices. The geopolitical
shock therefore stoked cyclical fears of a stubborn rise in inflation and thus of faster and stronger interest rate hikes in the
months ahead.

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022
The economic outlook for Europe, which was heavily dependent on Russian energy sources, had deteriorated. In this
turbulent environment energy and commodity prices rose significantly, while both the gold price and the US dollar
strengthened overall – even against safe havens such as the Swiss franc or the yen. The belief that inflation was transitionary
began to change over the quarter. Euro area inflation was revised up and in the US, inflation reached a 40 year high. Fixed
income posted general losses due to the much stricter interest rate outlook. The crippling economic sanctions imposed on
Russia led to a freefall in both bond and FX prices and further having a negative knock-on effect on neighbouring CEE
countries’ asset prices. The foreign holdings of Russian government bonds were frozen. The conflict has also led to further
deterioration in the global inflation outlook, as Russia has been a large exporter of energy, metals and also selected soft
commodities. The best performing country in the EM complex was Brazil. The currency appreciated strongly, supported by
inflow into Brazilian equities and the rise in commodity prices of which the country is large exporter. As the central bank
aggressively hiked rates the high carry also attracted significant inflows into local assets. South Africa was likewise boosted
by the rise in commodity prices. In contrast to the majority of other countries, South African bond yields remained stable
over the period and contributed positively to the overall performance. The deteriorating inflation picture in CEE led to a
strong rise in yield in all countries and currencies also experienced weakness. The worst performer of the block was Hungary
followed by Poland.
In the first four months of 2022, these risks successively hit home for the equity markets: in January, investors began to
adjust their interest rate expectations upward at an accelerating pace. This was followed on 24th February by the Russian
invasion of Ukraine and the surprisingly harsh economic and political sanctions against the aggressor. The war led to an
additional supply-side inflationary shock by creating shortages of energy, as well as in industrial and food resources. The
geopolitical tension began to fuel fears of a collapse in demand at a time when monetary tightening seemed virtually
irreversible. The first US rate hike followed in March, by now in line with expectations, just as the omicron wave began to
make headlines in Asia. But while Japan and other countries opted for a reopening policy, it became increasingly clear by
the end of March that China would stick to its uncompromising zero-tolerance policy against the virus, regardless of
economic, political or social costs. In April, all of these factors impacted markets virtually simultaneously, leading in some
cases to historically extreme price movements, particularly in interest rate markets.
During these politically eventful months, energy and commodity prices gained the most, while both the gold price and the
US dollar rose against the British Pound and Euro, which could provide further inflationary pressure for European
economies. Bonds, on the other hand, posted losses, in many cases the sharpest in decades, due to the significantly tighter
policy rate outlook, as did emerging market equities, led by China. US equities, which had previously held up relatively
well, also posted big declines in March, especially in the previously highly valued and popular technology sector.
As a result, stock market indices in the euro zone were slightly lower year-on-year at the end of April, while Asia's emerging
markets even recorded losses of more than 20%. However, the American and Japanese indices as well as the British and
Swiss stock market benchmarks in Europe were still able to close the reporting period with positive returns.
As of end of April, major stock market indices (in local currency including dividends) performed as follows: S&P500 +0.2%,
Nikkei -5.1%, MSCI Emerging Markets LC -16.3%, MSCI Europe +6.48%, FTSE 100 12.27% and Eurostoxx 50 -1.83%.

of financial assets and liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss. The financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS as adopted
by the EU requires the use of accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its
judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies.

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022
2.4 Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
The Company classifies its investments based on both the Company’s business model for managing those
financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The portfolio of financial
assets is managed and performance is evaluated on a fair value basis. The Company is primarily focused on fair
value information and uses that information to assess the investments’ performance and to make decisions. The
Company has not taken the option to irrevocably designate any equity securities as fair value through other
comprehensive income. The contractual cash flows of the Company’s debt securities are solely principal and
interest, however, these securities are neither held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows nor held
both for collecting contractual cash flows and for sale. The collection of contractual cash flows is only incidental
to achieving the Company’s business model’s objective.
Derivative contracts that have a negative fair value are presented as liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Consequently, all investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Company’s policy is for LGT Capital Partners (Ireland) Limited (“Manager”) and the Board of Directors to
evaluate the information about these financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis together with other related
financial information.
Financial assets that are not at fair value through profit or loss include receivable for investments sold and account
receivables. Financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss include payable for investments
purchased and other accounts payable. These amounts are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortized cost.
Purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the trade date, i.e. the date on which the Company commits
to purchase or sell the investment. Investments are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs for all
financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed as incurred.
Investments are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the
Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized
when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are
measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets or financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss category are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
within net changes in unrealized gain/(loss) on fair value of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
As at 30 April 2022 and 2021 all investments were classified as financial assets and liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an
exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and
trading securities) are based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the reporting date. The Company
utilizes the last traded market price for both financial assets and financial liabilities where the last traded price
falls within the bid-ask spread. Where the last traded price is not within the bid-ask spread, management will
determine the point within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value.

CROWN SIGMA UCITS PLC
ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022
- bonds: bonds are valued at the last reported price on the main exchange on the last business day of the
valuation period.
- futures: futures are contractual obligations to buy or sell financial instruments on a future date at a specified
price established in an organized market. The futures contracts are collateralised by cash or marketable
securities; changes in the futures contracts’ value are settled daily with the exchange and valued at mark-to-
market. Interest rate futures are contractual obligations to receive or pay a net amount based on changes in
interest rates at a future date at a specified price, established in an organized financial market. The Company
has entered into arrangements with whom it undertakes futures transactions.
For open futures contracts, changes in the fair value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or
losses by "marking-to-market" the value of the contract at the Balance Sheet date and are included in the net
gain/(loss) on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income. When the contract is closed, the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of)
the closing transactions and the original transaction is recorded as a realized gain or loss.
- forward currency contracts: the unrealized gain or loss on open forward currency contracts is calculated as
the difference between the original contracted rate and the rate at the period end. Unrealized gains or losses
on open forward currency contracts are included in financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss in the Balance Sheet. Realized gains or losses on forward currency contracts as reflected in the
Statement of Comprehensive Income include net gains/(losses) on forward currency contracts that have been
settled as at the Balance Sheet date.
- exchange traded funds: exchange traded funds are valued at the last reported price on the main exchange.
- transferable securities: transferable securities (being equity securities) are valued at the last reported price
on the main exchange.
- Fund investments/collective investment schemes: the fair value of investments in unlisted investment
funds/collective investment schemes is based on the latest available unaudited net asset value provided by
the relevant fund’s manager or administrator.
- option contracts: when the Company purchases an option, an amount equal to fair value which is based on
the premium paid is recorded as an asset. When the Company writes an option, an amount equal to fair value
which is based on the premium received by the Company is recorded as a liability. Unrealized gains or losses
on options are included in net gain/(loss) on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. When options are closed, the difference between the premium
and the amount paid or received, net of brokerage commissions, or the full amount of the premium if the
option expires worthless, is recognized as a realized gain or loss.
2.5 Prepayments for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Prepayments for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is comprised of amounts paid in advance of
the April dealing dates of the underlying investments.
2.6 Determination of gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Both realized and unrealized gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
are taken to income as incurred. Realized gains and losses on futures, exchange traded funds, transferable
securities, collective investment schemes and options are calculated on a first-in-first-out basis. Realized gains
and losses on forward currency contracts are calculated on an actual basis. The difference between the cost and
the fair value of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are reflected in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income as the change in unrealized gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss.

active market. Receivables are recognized initially at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment is established
when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts to be received.
Significant financial difficulties of the counterparty, probability that the counterparty will enter bankruptcy or
financial reorganization, and default in payments are considered indicators that the amount to be received is
impaired.
2.11 Payables
Payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently stated at amortized cost. The difference between
the proceeds and the amount payable is recognized over the period of the payable using the effective interest
method.
2.12 Expenses
Expenses are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis.
2.14 Interest income and expense from cash and cash equivalents and interest from financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss
Interest is recognized on a time-proportionate basis using the effective interest method. Interest income and
expense includes interest from cash and cash equivalents and cash overdrafts. Interest from financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss includes interest from debt securities.

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022
The Company maintains positions in a variety of financial instruments as dictated by its investment management
strategy. The Company’s investing activities expose it to various types of risk that are associated with the financial
instruments and markets in which it invests. Below is a description of the principal risks inherent in the Company’s
activities along with the actions it has taken to manage these risks.
The Company’s assets and liabilities comprise financial instruments which include:
- Exchange traded funds, transferrable securities, futures, bonds, forward currency contracts and option
contracts, these are held in accordance with the Company’s investment objectives and policies;
- Forward currency contracts; these are held in order to hedge against foreign exchange gains/(losses) in some
non-USD share classes in LGT Sustainable Bond Global Hedged Sub-Fund, LGT Bond EM Credit
Opportunities Sub-Fund, LGT Sustainable Bond Corporates Sub-Fund, LGT Sustainable Equity Market
Neutral Sub-Fund LGT EM HC Bond Sub-Fund and LGT EM Frontier LC Bond Sub-Fund.
- Cash, liquid resources and short-term receivables and payables that arise directly from its investment
activities.
The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are market price, foreign currency, interest rate,
credit, liquidity and capital risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these
risks and they are summarized below:
Value at Risk
The Company applies absolute Value at Risk (“VaR”) methodology to its portfolio as well as to the individual
investments in order to estimate the risk of positions held at certain times. The risk analysis refers to a specified
time horizon and to a given level of confidence and in this respect derives the potential losses that could occur on
these positions as a result of market movements affecting the exposures held. VaR is a statistically based estimate
of the potential loss on the program (referring to portfolio composition at a particular point of time) from adverse
market movements. It expresses the maximum amount the program might lose, but only to a certain level of
confidence (99%). There is therefore a specified statistical probability (1%) that actual losses could be greater
than the VaR estimate. The positions have been fully modelled for the purpose of these risk estimates. The VaR-
methodology employed is historical 1-day VaR99 based on 1 year input data.
Actual outcomes are monitored regularly to test the validity of this VaR calculation. The employment of different
methodologies, also with greater forward looking characteristics, generates information about the robustness of
the risk figures.
The methodology employed for this risk illustration is only one type of risk information considered and the
complexity of risks analysis for fund strategy portfolios requires the use of various different methodologies.

Note:
1) Definition of leverage: The level of leverage represents the sum of absolute notional exposures to FDIs in
percentage of the Net Asset Value of the respective sub-fund. This number may seem high, if the Manager
allocates an increased proportion of the portfolio to FDIs which have high notional exposures due to their specific
characteristics, but with lower levels of volatility and VaR, such as interest rate futures. For example, given a
comparable expected volatility, the notional exposure of interest rate futures may represent a multiple of the
notional exposure of equity index futures or commodity index futures. As such, notional exposure of different
FDIs may not necessarily be comparable in their risk profile. Strategies based on interest rate futures typically
have a lower VaR than a comparable exposure to other permitted assets, hence they require a much higher notional
exposure versus a strategy investing in other permitted assets. Therefore, the leverage of the respective sub-fund
may increase as the sub-fund’s allocation to particular strategies which deploy interest rate futures is increased.
The sub-fund may seek exposure to these particular strategies as they may provide attractive risk adjusted returns
and contribute to the diversification of the sub-fund. In general, the sum of notional exposure to FDIs tends to be
higher when underlying markets are less volatile.
The performance of the investments and the compilation of the investment portfolio held by the Company is
monitored by the Manager on a weekly basis and reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors.

Any excess cash and cash equivalents are invested at short-term market interest rates. At 30 April 2022 and 2021,
if short-term market interest rates had been lower by 25 basis points (2021: 25 basis points) with all other variables
held constant, the change in net assets attributable to redeemable participating shareholders was deemed by the
Directors to be immaterial. However, the Company may be indirectly affected by the impact of interest rate
changes on the earnings of certain underlying investments in which the Company invests and impact on the
valuation of certain over-the-counter derivative products that use interest rates as an input in their valuation model.

Financial assets, which potentially expose the Company to credit risk, consist principally of cash, investments
and balances arising from other contractual transactions. The Company seeks to mitigate its exposure to credit
risk by conducting its contractual transactions with institutions which are reputable and well established. In
accordance with the Company’s policy, the Manager monitors the Company’s credit position on a monthly basis
and the Board of Directors reviews it on a regular basis.
Credit risk arising from receivables from underlying portfolio sub-funds relates to redemptions or transactions
awaiting settlement. Risk relating to unsettled receivables is considered small due to the short settlement period
involved and the due diligence performed on the portfolio companies. The maximum exposure related to unsettled
trades equals the amounts shown on the Balance Sheet.
The Company’s Depositary and Trustee is RBC Investor Services Bank S.A., Dublin Branch (“Depositary”).
Some of the cash of the Company is held by the Depositary at the year end. The Company is exposed to credit
risk through the use of the Depositary for their cash and cash equivalents. Bankruptcy or insolvency of the
Depositary may cause the Company’s rights with respect to its cash held by the Depositary to be delayed or
limited. The maximum exposure to this risk at 30 April 2022 and 2021 is the amount of cash disclosed in Note 9.
To mitigate the risks the Company is exposed to from the use of the Depositary, the Manager employs appropriate
procedures to ensure that the counterparties are reputable institutions and that the credit risk is acceptable to the
Company. The Company only transacts with custodians that are regulated entities subject to prudential
supervision, or with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The credit rating of the
Depositary at 30 April 2022 was A-1+/AA- (30 April 2021: A-1+/AA-) (Source: Standard and Poor’s).
The Company has also cash accounts held with LGT Bank AG as at 30 April 2022 and 30 April 2021. The cash
accounts are held for the purposes of trading in derivative financial instruments. Bankruptcy or insolvency may
cause the Company’s rights with respect to its cash held by this financial institution to be delayed or limited and
would rank the Company pari passu with other creditors. The maximum exposure to this risk at 30 April 2022
and 2021 is the amount of cash disclosed in Note 9. The credit ratings per Standard and Poor’s of this financial
institution as at the year end was A-1/A+ (2021: A-1/A+).

It therefore invests the majority of its assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily
disposed of; it invests only a limited proportion of its assets in investments not actively traded. The Company’s
listed securities are considered to be readily realizable as they are listed on recognized stock exchanges. In
accordance with the Company’s policy, the Manager and Investment Manager monitors the Company’s liquidity
position on a daily basis. There have been no material changes made to these liquidity management systems and
procedures described above during the year.
Substantially all of the sub-funds’ financial liabilities have maturities of less than one month from the Balance
Sheet date to the contractual maturity date. Maturities are outlined in the Portfolio of Investments of the respective
sub-funds.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company’s policy is to perform the following:
- monitor the level of daily subscriptions and redemptions relative to the assets it expects to be able to liquidate
within one week and adjust the amount of distributions the Company pays to holders of redeemable participating
shares.
- redeem and issue new shares in accordance with the constitutional documents of the Company, which include
the ability to restrict redemptions and require certain minimum holdings and subscriptions.

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022
IFRS 7 requires the Company to classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the
significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
- 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 (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
- Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable
inputs).
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized 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 judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.
The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgment by the Company. The Company
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.
Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and therefore classified within
Level 1, include futures, exchange traded funds, transferable securities, and certain government bonds. The
Company does not adjust the quoted price for these instruments.
Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted
market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within
Level 2. The Company currently classifies forward currency contracts, collective investment schemes, options,
certain government bonds and corporate bonds held as at 30 April 2022 and 2021 as Level 2 investments as their
fair value is based on observable inputs.
Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently. There were
no Level 3 investments at 30 April 2022 (30 April 2021: none).
The following tables below analyze within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets (by class)

ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022
There was no transfer between levels during the year (2021: none). For the remaining assets and liabilities which
are carried at amortized cost; their carrying values are a reasonable approximation of fair value (2021: same).
This includes cash and cash equivalents, receivable and payable for investments sold and purchased, subscriptions
receivable, redemptions payable, other receivables, various expenses payable and other liabilities.
The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within
the next financial year. Estimates are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Functional currency
The Board of Directors considers the Euro the currency that most faithfully represents the economic effect of the
underlying transactions, events and conditions at the level of the Company. Although some sub-funds’ functional
currencies may be different to the Euro, the Euro is the currency in which the Company measures its overall
performance and reports its results, as well as the currency of its underlying investments. This determination also
considers the competitive environment in which the Company is compared to other global investment products.
The functional currency of LGT Sustainable Bond Global Hedged Sub-Fund, LGT Sustainable Quality Equity
Sub-Fund, LGT Bond EM Credit Opportunities Sub-Fund, LGT Sustainable Bond Corporates Sub-Fund, LGT
Sustainable Equity Market Neutral Sub-Fund, LGT Crown Liquid Private Equity Opportunities Sub-Fund, LGT
EM HC Bond Sub-Fund and LGT EM Frontier LC Bond Sub-Fund is the US Dollar as the shares in these sub-
funds are predominantly issued in US Dollar and therefore represents the primary economic environment in which
they operate.

CROWN SIGMA UCITS PLC
ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022
Details of derivative instruments held at 30 April 2022 are included in the portfolio of investments. The Company
holds the following financial derivative instruments:
(a) Futures
Futures are contractual obligations to buy or sell financial instruments on a future date at a specified price
established in an organized market. The futures contracts are collateralized by cash or marketable securities;
changes in the futures contracts’ value are settled daily with the exchange. Interest rate futures are contractual
obligations to receive or pay a net amount based on changes in interest rates at a future date at a specified price,
established in an organized financial market.
Investment in such derivative financial instruments is a primary feature of the Company and is used for direct
investment and for the purposes of asset allocation, taking views on the pricing of assets (whether overpriced
or underpriced) or likely direction of markets, currency management, maintaining the required level of exposure,
hedging, cash management and efficient investing.
Some of the share classes of the sub-funds are denominated in other currencies other than the Euro Dollar. The
Directors currently instruct the Manager to hedge the Euro and USD equivalent exposure of these share classes
in the relevant sub-fund. The Company utilizes a variety of financial instruments such as derivatives to hedge
against changes in currency values which may affect the value of the relevant share classes and such transactions
are clearly attributable to each relevant share class.
(c) Options
Options are the right to buy or sell a specific quantity of a specific asset at a fixed price at or before a specified
future date. A sub-fund may invest in two forms of options: put or call options. Put options are contracts sold for
a premium that gives one party (the buyer) the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the other party (the seller)
of the contract, a specific quantity of a particular product or financial instrument at a specified price. Call options
are similar contracts sold for a premium that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy from the
seller of the option. Options may also be cash settled. A sub-fund may be a seller or buyer of put and call options.
8. SHARE CAPITAL
The Company has authorized participating share capital of 1,000,000,000,000 shares of no par value initially
designated as unclassified shares and 3 management shares of EUR 1 each. The unclassified shares are available
for issue as shares. The issue price is payable in full upon acceptance. There are no rights of pre-emption attaching
to the shares in the Company.
The issued redeemable participating share capital is at all times equal to the net asset value of the Company.
The right of holders of any shares to participate in the assets of the Company is limited to the assets (if any) of
the sub-fund relating to such shares. If the realized net assets of any sub-fund are insufficient to pay any amounts
due on the relevant shares in full in accordance with the relevant sub-fund supplement and the Articles, the
relevant shareholders will have no further right of payment in respect of such shares or any claim against any
other sub-fund or any other assets of the Company.
87
CROWN SIGMA UCITS PLC
ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022
If a sub-fund has two or more classes of shares, the claims of the holders of such classes to the assets of the
relevant sub-fund will, subject to the terms of the relevant sub-fund, rank pari passu with each other, and, on a
winding-up of the Company, the holders of each such class will participate in the assets (if any) comprised in
such sub-fund pro rata to the amount paid up on the shares of each such class. Each separate class relating to one
sub-fund will have recourse only to the assets comprised within the relevant sub-fund. Consequently, if on the
winding-up of the Company, the assets of a sub-fund (after payment of all fees, expenses and other liabilities
(other than amounts owing to shareholders) which are to be borne by such sub-fund) are insufficient to pay the
full repurchase proceeds payable in respect of all classes of shares relating to the relevant sub-fund, the proceeds
of the relevant sub-fund will be distributed equally amongst each shareholder of the relevant sub-fund pro rata to
the amount paid up on the shares held by each shareholder.
The Directors are given authority to effect the issue of shares and to create new classes of shares (in accordance
with the requirements of the Central Bank of Ireland) and have absolute discretion to accept or reject in whole or
in part any application for shares. Provided applications are received before the valuation point, the Directors may
at their sole discretion accept a subscription application and/or subscription monies after the relevant dealing
deadline. Issues of shares will normally be made with effect from a dealing day in respect of applications received
on or prior to the dealing deadline. Dealing days and dealing deadlines relating to each sub-fund are specified in
the relevant sub-fund supplement.
The Directors may temporarily suspend the calculation of the net asset value of a particular sub-fund or class
and/or the issue, redemption and conversion of shares under certain instances detailed in the Prospectus. Where
possible, all reasonable steps will be taken to bring any period of suspension to an end as soon as possible in a
manner that is, in the opinion of the Directors, in the best interests of the shareholders of the particular sub-fund.

nature of the Company’s business as an investment fund.

15. TAXATION
Under current law and practice the Company qualifies as an investment undertaking as defined in Section 739B
of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended. On that basis, it is not chargeable to Irish tax on its income or
gains. However, Irish tax may arise on the happening of a "chargeable event". A chargeable event includes any
distribution payments to Shareholders or any encashment, redemption, cancellation or transfer of shares.
No Irish tax will arise on the Company in respect of chargeable events in respect of:
(a) a shareholder who is neither Irish resident nor ordinarily resident in Ireland for tax purposes, at the time of the
chargeable event, provided appropriate valid declarations in accordance with the provisions of the Taxes
Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended, are held by the Company; or the Company has been authorized by the Irish
Revenue to make gross payments in the absence of appropriate declarations; and
(b) certain exempted Irish tax resident Shareholders who have provided the Company with the necessary signed
statutory declarations.
Any transaction (which might otherwise be a chargeable event) in relation to shares held in a recognized clearing
system as designated by order of the Irish Revenue Commissioners will not constitute a chargeable event. It is the
current intention of the Directors that all the Shares in the Company will be held in a recognized clearing system.
Dividends, interest and capital gains (if any) received on investments made by the Company may be subject to
withholding taxes imposed by the country from which the investment income/gains are received and such taxes
may not be recoverable by the Company or its shareholders.

“Taxonomy Regulation”), it should be noted that the underlying investments of these sub-fund do not take into account the
EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities.

no significant harm” principle applies only to those investments underlying the financial product that take into account the
EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities. The investments underlying the remaining portion of this
financial product do not take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities.

Remuneration policy
The Management Company operates a remuneration policy in accordance with the principles set out in
the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities)
Regulations 2011 (“the Regulations”). The policy contains uniform compensation guidelines which
adequately take into consideration the Management Company’s capital, liquidity and risk profile, as well
as its long-term success, thus representing incentives for employees.
The Management Company does not guarantee any variable remuneration. Fixed and variable
components of total remuneration are appropriately balanced and the fixed component represents a
sufficiently high proportion of the total remuneration in order to incentivize employees and to allow the
operation of a fully flexible policy on variable remuneration, including the possibility to pay no variable
remuneration. The measurement of performance used to calculate variable remunerations, or pools of
variable remuneration, includes a comprehensive adjustment mechanism to integrate all relevant types of
current and future risks.
Identified employees of the Management Company are defined as senior management, risk takers, control
functions and any employees receiving total remuneration that takes them into the same remuneration
bracket as senior managers and risk takers, whose professional activities have a material impact on the
risk profiles of the Management Company for the funds under management. The disclosures below have
been adjusted to reflect the total net variable compensation breakdown for identified staff as it applies to
liquid funds under management by the Management Company, based on the relevant share of total assets
under management.
