Management Comments
BAKERSTEEL Precious Metals Fund (“Precious Metals Fund”) rose +26.8% (A2 EUR class) over the period, compared with the
Euromoney Global Gold Mining Index which rose +7.0% (in Euro terms). Gold rose +6.5% in Euro terms, and fell -1.0% in US dollar
terms. Precious Metals Fund has grown substantially in size during the quarter, reaching EUR 74m at the end of the period. The
investment team exercises a fundamental value-driven investment approach and through active stock selection Precious Metals Fund
is invested in companies that offer superior operational upside and the best relative potential to deliver leverage to the gold price.
The gold price has traded in a range-bound, yet stable, pattern in recent months and would appear to be building a base with the
lows having been tested a number of times. While much attention is given by investors and the media to the performance of the
US dollar gold price, which generated lackluster returns during the first half of 2015, it is important to highlight that the gold price has
made strong year-to-date gains in producer currencies; having risen +16.2% in Brazilian Real (BRL), +4.8% in Australian dollars
(AUD), and +4.1% in South African Rand (ZAR), benefitting gold producers in these jurisdictions, for which the Fund is well-positioned.
Investors and industry participants have begun to recognise some of the opportunities created by the recent severe downturn. This
is evidenced by increasing equity issuance year to date with USD 6.3 billion in primary and secondary offerings, which compares
to just USD 4.6 billion in the entirety of 2014. Furthermore, the value of M&A deals totalled around USD 8 billion during the first half
of the year. Precious Metals Fund has benefitted from a number of these transactions and we expect this theme to continue as we
enter the second half of the year.
The encouraging outperformance of the Precious Metals Fund relative to its peers has been generated by Baker Steel’s active
management approach. In the Australian allocation, St Barbara Mines (7.1% NAV), the Fund’s largest holding, gained +442.9% (AUD)
during H1 2015. The company’s shares have re-rated on better operational performance leading to an improved outlook on its debt
position by Moody’s. The completion of the sale of its Gold Ridge Mine in May and the buyback of USD 54 million in senior debt in
June demonstrates the company’s ability to further de-risk the balance sheet. In the Fund’s Africa allocation Perseus Mining (2.8%
NAV) rose +65.4% (AUD) during the period. The company released an improved life of mine plan for their flagship Edikan mine in
Ghana, along with permit extensions and a resolution to local power interruptions. Furthermore it announced a positive feasibility
study for the Sissingne Project in Cote d’Ivoire demonstrating to the market the company has a viable second mine to develop.
While there were no significant detractors from performance, the Fund held a small number of underperforming positions during the
quarter. AngloGold Ashanti (4.5% NAV) underperformed the peer group, having been impacted by pay disputes and risks associated
with its South African assets. While wage negotiations with unions are ongoing throughout the South African gold sector, we believe
AngloGold presents a strong investment case; management is focussed on asset optimisation and deleveraging its balance sheet.
Uncertainty in the geopolitical and monetary policy spheres continued to raise investors’ concerns across all asset classes during
the quarter. A potentially important factor for gold in the near term is the cloud around the US Fed’s timetable for raising interest
rates. We believe the market may be wrong to expect weakness in gold following the eventual first rate hike. Evidence suggests that
rising rates do not necessarily correlate with a falling gold price, and we believe the most important factor for gold remains low real
interest rates in the near- to medium-term.

Notes to the financial statements as at 30 June 2015
1.) GENERAL
BAKERSTEEL GLOBAL FUNDS SICAV is a Luxembourg investment company (“Investment Company“) (Société d’Investissement à
Capital Variable) that has been established for an unlimited period in the form of an umbrella fund with sub-funds in accordance with
Part I of the Luxembourg Law of 17 December 2010 on Undertakings for Collective Investment (the “Law of 17 December 2010”).
The Investment Company was established on 10 April 2008 at the initiative of Baker Steel Capital Managers LLP who has appointed
IPConcept (Luxemburg) S.A. as its management company (“Management Company”).The Investment Company is a limited company
with variable capital (Société d’Investissement à Capital Variable), under Luxembourg law with its registered office at 4, rue Thomas
Edison, L-1445 Strassen. Its Articles of Association were published on 30 April 2008 in the Mémorial, Recueil des Sociétés et
Associations, the official journal of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Mémorial“). The Investment Company is entered in the
commercial register in Luxembourg under registration number R.C.S. Luxembourg B137827. The latest amendment to the Articles of
Association of the Investment Company came into effect on 18 February 2015 and was published in the Mémorial on 13 March 2015.
The Board of Directors of the Investment Company appointed the Management Company IPConcept (Luxemburg) S.A., a public
limited company (Aktiengesellschaft) under the law of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg with its registered office located at
4, rue Thomas Edison, L-1445 Luxembourg-Strassen, with the duties of asset management, administration and distribution of the
shares of the Investment Company. The Management Company was incorporated for an unlimited period on 23 May 2001. Its
Articles of Association were published in the Mémorial on 19 June 2001. The latest amendment to the Articles of Association of the
Management Company came into effect on 14 November 2013 and was published in the Mémorial on 11 December 2013. The
Management Company is listed in the commercial register in Luxembourg under registration number R.C.S. Luxembourg B 82.183.
2.) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These reports are drawn up at the responsibility of the Board of Directors of the Investment Company in accordance with the legal
provisions applicable in Luxembourg and the standards for the preparation and presentation of reports.
1. The net assets of the Investment Company are shown in Euro (EUR) (“reference currency”).
2. The value of a share („net asset value per share“) is denominated in the currency laid down in the Annex to the sales prospectus
(“fund currency”), unless any other currency is stipulated for any other share classes in the Annex to the sales prospectus (“share
class currency”).
3. The net asset value per share is calculated by the Investment Company or a third party commissioned for this purpose by the
Investment Company, under the supervision of the Custodian Bank, on each banking day in Luxembourg, with the exception of
24 and 31 December of each year (“valuation day”). The Board of Directors may decide to apply different regulations to individual
funds, but the net asset value per share must be calculated at least twice each month.
4. A Business Day is a day on which banks are normally open for business in Luxembourg and London.
5. In order to calculate the net asset value per share, the value of the assets of each sub-fund, less the liabilities of each sub-fund
(“net sub-fund assets”) is determined on each day specified in the relevant Annex („Valuation Day“) and this is divided by the
number of shares in circulation in the respective sub-fund on the Valuation Day. The Management Company can, however, decide
to determine the unit value on the 24 and 31 December of a year without these determinations of value being calculations of
the unit value on a Valuation Day within the meaning of the above clause 1 of this point 4. Consequently, the shareholders may
not demand the issue, redemption or exchange of shares on the basis of a net asset value determined on 24 December and/or
31 December of a year.
6. Insofar as information on the situation of the net assets of the company must be specified in the annual or semi-annual reports
and/or other financial statistics pursuant to the applicable legislative provisions or in accordance with the conditions of these
Articles of Association, the value of the assets of each sub-fund will be converted to the reference currency. The net sub-fund
assets will be calculated according to the following principles:
a) Securities which are officially listed on a stock exchange are valuated at the last available market price. If a security is officially
listed on more than one stock exchange, the last available listing on the stock exchange which represents the major market
for this security shall apply.
b) Securities not officially listed on a securities exchange but traded on a regulated market will be valued at a price that may not
be lower than the bid price and not higher than the offered price at the time of valuation and which the Investment Company
deems in good faith to be the best possible price at which the securities can be sold.
c) OTC derivatives shall be evaluated on a daily basis using a method to be determined and validated by the Investment
Company in good faith on the basis of the sale value that is likely attainable and using generally accepted valuation models
which can be verified by an auditor.
25
Notes to the financial statements as at 30 June 2015
d) UCITS and UCIs are valued at the most recently established and available redemption price. In the event that the redemption
of the investment units is suspended, or no redemption prices are established, these units together with all other assets will
be valued at their appropriate market value, as determined in good faith by the Management Company and in accordance
with generally accepted valuation standards approved by the auditors.
e) If the respective prices are not fair market prices and if no prices are set for securities other than those listed under paragraphs
a) and b), these securities and the other legally permissible assets will be valued at the current trading value, which will be
established in good faith by the Investment Company on the basis of the sale value that is in all probability achievable.
f)
Liquid funds are valued at their nominal value plus interest.
g) The market value of securities and other investments which are denominated in a currency other than the currency of the
relevant sub-fund shall be converted into the currency of the sub-fund at the last mean rate of exchange (WM/Reuters fixing
at 4 pm London time). Gains and losses from foreign exchange transactions will on each occasion be added or subtracted.
Any distributions paid out to sub-fund shareholders will be deducted from the net assets of the subfund.
7. The net asset value per share is calculated separately for each sub-fund pursuant to the aforementioned criteria. However, if
there are different share classes within a sub-fund, the net asset value per share will be calculated separately for each share
class within this fund pursuant to the aforementioned criteria. The composition and allocation of assets always occurs separately
for each sub-fund.
The tables published in this report may, for arithmetical reasons, contain rounding differences which are higher or lower than a unit
(currency, percentage, etc.).
3.) TAXATION
Taxation of the Investment Company
In the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the assets of the Fund are subject to a subscription tax known as the “taxe d‘abonnement”, which
is currently levied in an amount of 0.05% p.a. The “taxe d‘abonnement” is payable quarterly on the total net assets reported as at
the end of each respective quarter. The amount of the “taxe d‘abonnement” is specified for the fund or share classes in the relevant
Annex to the sales prospectus. If the fund assets are invested in other Luxembourg investment funds that are already subject to the
taxe d’abonnement, said assets invested in such funds are exempt from the tax.
The income of the Investment Company or the fund from investing its assets is not taxed in the GrandDuchy of Luxembourg. However,
such income may be subject to taxation at source in countries in which the fund assets are invested. In such cases, neither the
custodian bank nor the Investment Company is obliged to collect tax certificates.
Taxation on income from shares of the investment fund for the investor
The European Union’s Savings Directive 2003/48/EC (“EUSD”) which came into effect on 1 July 2005 was aimed at ensuring that
EU residents are taxed on interest income from cross border investments in bank accounts and certain investment funds that are
in scope of EUSD (“in-scope funds”). The Luxembourg rules implementing the EUSD applied a withholding tax to interest income
including that from dividends and redemptions proceeds in certain investment funds and such payments were not subject to EUSD
reporting in Luxembourg. This EUSD Withholding Tax, which has increased in rate from 15% to 35% since the implementation of
EUSD, is applied to funds that pay interest income.
As an alternative to EUSD Withholding Tax under the Luxembourg EUSD rules, Luxembourg has offered investors an option of
Exchange of Information. Where an investor had elected for Exchange of Information, the Luxembourg tax authority was informed
of the amount of interest income paid, along with the name, residential address, tax identification number or date and place of birth.
The Luxembourg tax authority has then, in accordance with EUSD, reported this information to the tax authority in the country of
residence for the investor to be taxed accordingly.
The Luxembourg government has recently decreed that as of 1 January 2015 the country will no longer offer the EUSD Withholding
Tax possibility and will only apply the automatic Exchange of Information under Luxembourg EUSD rules. This means that the
Luxembourg Paying Agents can no longer apply EUSD Withholding Tax on interest income and the account will be subject to
Exchange of Information under Luxembourg rules. The changes to the rules will apply to any interest payments on in-scope funds
made on or after 1 January 2015 and these will be reported to the Luxembourg Tax Authority in 2016 for onward reporting to the Tax
Authority of the country of residence.
Prospective investors should ensure they are informed about laws and regulations which apply to the purchase, ownership and
redemption of shares and obtain advice if necessary.

of the fund , investment manager and registered office with effect 19 February 2015:
The Fund appointed a new management company, IPConcept (Luxembourg) S.A. (the “New Management Company”), with

b) Liquidation of the sub-fund BAKERSTEEL GLOBAL FUNDS SICAV – Alpha Gold Fund with effect 12 March 2015
In consideration of the principle of fair and equal treatment of all shareholders the issue and redemption of shares was suspended
in a resolution on 2 March 2015 (closing date) due to large redemptions. The Investment Company therefore concluded that an
efficient management of the sub-fund could not be ensured in future even though the sub-fund’s assets had not fallen below the
minimum amount of 2.5 million EUR as stated in the Articles of Association. Pursuant to Article 7 of the Articles of Association
the Investment Company hereby confirms that the sub-fund was liquidated effective 12 March 2015.
The net asset value of the sub-fund will be furthermore be calculated and published on a daily basis until the sub-fund’s liquidation.
The liquid assets within the fund have been put up for sale. The available cash amount within the fund’s assets has partially
been distributed to shareholders. During the liquidation process the sub-fund will be managed under the status “in liquidation”
until all assets of the sub-fund have been sold.

b.) Total Expense Ratio (TER)
The commissions and fees incurred for managing the collective capital investments must be reported in the indicator known
internationally as the total expense ratio (TER). This indicator expresses the total of all commission and fees regularly incurred
(operating expenses) by the capital of the collective investment retrospectively as a percentage of the net assets; in principle, it is
calculated using the following formula:
Total operating expenses in UA*
TER % = ------------------------------------------------ x 100
Average net assets in UA*
* UA = Units in the accounting currency of the collective capital investment
According to the Swiss Funds & Asset Management Association guideline of 16 May 2008, the following TER was calculated in per
cent for the period from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015:
