Market changes over the year to end-May 2014
Monetary policy
The European Central Bank (ECB) cut its key interest rates in November of last year, responding to very low
inflation and raising expectations of further intervention, including the use of unorthodox measures. The refi rate now
stands at 0.25% and the marginal lending facility rate at 0.75%. The deposit rate has been 0% since July 2012. Fixedrate tender procedures with full allotment have been extended at least until mid-2015. The ECB has been issuing
forward guidance on future interest rates since July 2013: key interest rates will remain at present or lower levels for
an extended period of time. Such wording is not insignificant as the ECB had previously refused to make any precommitment regarding its policy. It kept this weakening bias throughout the period under review, saying that it was
ready to act as the eurozone emerged from recession in the second quarter of 2013 and business surveys remained
encouraging. This message was prompted by very low inflation (0.5% y/y in March compared with 1.7% a year
earlier), even if the ECBs scenario remained one of a prolonged period of low inflation, to be followed by a gradual
upward movement towards inflation rates below, but close to, 2%. In April, Mario Draghi indicated that the
Governing Council had mentioned quantitative easing (QE) due to low inflation. In a speech focusing on monetary
policy communication (24 April), he laid out some contingencies that would warrant a monetary policy reaction,
indicating which measures could then be taken: pressure on short-term interest rates, international long rates or
exchange rates (which would trigger conventional measures); a further impairment to bank lending (justifying an
LTRO or ABS programme); a worsening of the medium-term outlook for inflation, which would warrant a more
broad-based asset purchase programme. After setting out this roadmap, Mario Draghi surprised onlookers at the press
conference that followed the Governing Council meeting on 8 May. He made it clear that the ECB was comfortable
about taking action at its next meeting once it had seen the new economic growth and inflation forecasts. The
appreciation of the euro, which affects inflation, was also mentioned and the Council reaffirmed that it was
unanimous in its commitment to using also unconventional instruments within its mandate in order to cope
effectively with risks of a too prolonged period of low inflation. Draghi even mentioned the possible need to take
preventative measures. These comments helped bring down the value of the euro against the dollar, easing pressure
on the money market. For example, the EONIA stood above 0.40% in May (excluding the usual month-end tension)
before dropping back towards 0.20%. From an economic point of view, Q1 GDP growth (+0.2%) was disappointing
and revealed significant differences between countries. Although business surveys were down slightly at the end of
the period, indices remained at high levels (close to a three-year high for the eurozone composite PMI and
Germanys Ifo business climate index).
Management Policy
The investment strategy applied in FY 2013/2014 by BNP Paribas InstiCash EUR primarily consisted of investing in
fixed rate instruments with maturities of up to 3 months, floating rates being preferred for investments of between 3
months and 1 year. We thus kept the WAL within the regulatory limits required by the rating agencies. Given the
shortage of banking institutions or companies rated A1+, we used a range of repos with government or state-backed
securities in order to respect the regulatory requirement of investing at least 50% in A1+.
The management policy applied by BNP Paribas InstiCash EUR made it possible for the net asset value per share to
grow by an annualised 0.11% on the I units. This performance, over the period from 1 June 2013 to 30 May 2014, is
not necessarily a guide for future results. For reference, the arithmetic average of the EONIA (calculated using the
average OIS) over the same period was 0.15%.

YOY market performance from May 2013 to May 2014
Monetary policy and economic climate in the United Kingdom
The UK economy was buoyant throughout the period. Growth remained strong quarter after quarter with figures
around 0.8% Q/Q for the region. With 2012 figures no longer featuring in the yearly average, in Q4 2013, YOY GDP
stood at 2.7% and even 3.1% in Q1 2014.
This economic momentum, which is mainly due to an increase in domestic demand combined with a sharp upturn in
house prices, considerably boosted the fall in unemployment to reach the forward guidance target level (7%) more
quickly than expected.
The leading indicators and Markit surveys stayed above 50%, although they are on a downward trend.
An accommodative monetary policy combined with forward guidance
In terms of the BOE's monetary policy, the start of the period saw the introduction of a forward guidance policy
designed to prevent instability on the markets resulting from mixed economic data. In fact, the governing board
wishes to maintain an accommodative monetary policy and above all wants this to be reflected in market levels,
although the leading indicators and GDP figures point to an improvement in economic activity in the UK.
Two criteria were chosen to anchor this stability: medium-term inflation of 2.5%, and a target unemployment rate of
7%.
The asset purchase programme remained unchanged at GDP 375 billion throughout the period.
Inflation maintained a downward trajectory throughout the year, starting at 2.7% in May 2013 and ending at 1.8% in
April 2014. Despite this downward trend, however, the MPC continues to believe that inflation will stabilise in the
medium term.
For these various reasons the short-term money markets have forecast a gradual tightening of the BOE's monetary
policy at the end of 2014, resulting in slight upward pressure on the LIBOR and the SONIA swap.
In spite of everything, policy rates remained stable throughout the period, with interest rates at relatively low absolute
levels (average SONIA rate of around 0.42%).
The funds management policy
The investment strategy can be broken down into two separate periods.
From June 2013 to December 2014 we preferred 3-month investments due to the uncertainty prior to forward
guidance, and because absolute interest rate levels were considered to be too low for 6- to 12-month maturities.
Then from December 2013 to May 2014, the monetary policy situation was viewed as more stable in the short term.
We mainly invested in 3- to 6-month fixed-rate instruments, preferring floating rate investments linked to the SONIA
rate for 1-year maturities.
The net asset value per share rose from GBP 169.89 on 31 May 2013 to GBP 170.53 on 30 May 2014, which
represents a 0.38% return on the I units. This performance is not necessarily a guide for future results.

The European Central Banks monetary policy during the financial year.
The European Central Bank (ECB) cut its key interest rates in November of last year, responding to very low
inflation and raising expectations of further intervention, including the use of unorthodox measures. The refi rate now
stands at 0.25% and the marginal lending facility rate at 0.75%. The deposit rate has been 0% since July 2012. Fixedrate tender procedures with full allotment have been extended at least until mid-2015. The ECB has been issuing

and revealed significant differences between countries. Although business surveys were down slightly at the end of
the period, indices remained at high levels (close to a three-year high for the eurozone composite PMI and
Germanys Ifo business climate index).
Management Policy
The funds credit strategy consisted of increasing the weight of bank bond issuers already present in the portfolio (12
months), taking advantage of wide spreads. In terms of country exposure, we invested mainly in core countries but
also in Europes periphery in the form of Italian government bonds (5%).
Regarding our bond strategy, we invested in fixed-rate maturities of up to 12 months in case the ECB lowers its
refinancing rate in the first half of 2014. The portfolios liquid assets remain at around 15% in the form of money
market funds (about 6%) and Italian government securities (about 9%).
The net asset value per share rose from 101.09 at 31/05/2013 to 101.36 at 30/05/2014, representing an annual
performance of 0.26% (institutional units). This performance is not necessarily a guide for future results. For
reference, the arithmetic average of the EONIA (calculated using the OIS method) over the same period was 0.15%.

Market changes over the year to end-May 2014
Monetary policy and Economic Summary
The beginning of fiscal year 2013 focused on US monetary policy and communication of potential changes. As a
recap, in May 2013, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman, Ben Bernanke, on behalf of the FOMC, alluded to the
potential for a gradual removal of the $85B/month asset purchase plan as early as fourth quarter of 2013. This was
followed by a swift sell-off in Treasuries causing other risky assets whose rates are either highly correlated to 10-year
Treasuries (e.g., agency mortgages) or whose reserves are heavily invested in US Treasuries (e.g., emerging market
debt) to sell off in tandem. To make matters even more confusing, the Fed, in June, backed off of its previous rhetoric
implying that tapering could commence as early as year-end 2014 and instead took a more dovish stance alluding
to continued accommodation dependent on improvement in economic data. Specifically the Fed noted that while
downside risks to the outlook for the US economy and labor market had diminished in comparison to the prior year,
weakness in the global economy remained. As a result conditions under which moderating the pace of asset
purchases would occur would be distinguished from a tightening of monetary policy. In this confusion US 10-year
yields rose rapidly in both May and June, shocking the market with a 100 bp rise in a short period, increasing from
1.6% at the beginning of May to over 2.6% at the end of June.
As the US market struggled with deciphering communication from its Central Bankers, a gradual decoupling
appeared among the G-3 (US, Europe and Japan) in terms of monetary policy. Monetary stimulus structural reform
in Japan has begun to lead the economy out of a multi-decade stagnation, while quantitative easing programs put in
place in the UK produced even better results than were expected over the period. In contrast the ECB continues to be
plagued by weakness and a gradual recovery in the South with strength and stability in the North. As the fiscal year
progressed, notable improvements would be seen among peripheral countries, resonating in a sharp contraction in
spreads, in some cases inside that of US and Germany. Draghis primary challenge, in contrast to the US, UK and
Japan is deflation and a stubbornly high currency. This challenged set of circumstances provided the backdrop for the
decoupling of the Eurozone from the US, UK and Japan, where massive amounts of stimulus have resulted in
declining employment, increases in the quality of consumer and corporate balance sheets, among other economic
improvements including a more robust housing market and increased consumer confidence. Economic improvement
in the US and UK is now spurring discussions as to when and how quickly rates will rise, whereas in the Eurozone at
fiscal year-end, Draghi and the ECB continued to debate the form of the next round of stimulus. Additionally, the US
transitioned to a new Fed Chair as Janet Yellen took over for Ben Bernanke in January, continuing many similar
policies but also adapting to the new economic environment.
Short term markets
As the fiscal year started in June 2013, rate markets in the US were already trying to absorb the latest rhetoric from
the US Federal Reserve about the potential for tapering and longer-term views on rate increases. The net result was
that market participants continued to pressure long term rates higher while bringing forward the timing when the first
increases in the Fed Funds target might occur, from mid- 2015 to 2H2014. Money market rates drifted lower on high
demand chasing too little high quality supply. Overnight government repo hovered in the low single digits for most
of the period, as the Feds absorption of longer-dated government and agency paper through QE combined with
dealers limited balance sheet appetite reduced demand for repo funding and pushed investors into repo alternatives
such as short-dated commercial paper. Expectations for extended period of low fed funds target rates combined with
the benign credit environment reinforced the rationale for longer money fund WAMs and supported demand for
longer-dated paper. Buying activity centered around well priced commercial paper (CP) and certificates of deposit
(CD) in three to six month tenors, particularly for the better Japanese, Nordic, Canadian names, while European
banks (largely French) dominated in maturities less than 3 months. Monthly CP volumes remained well above the
2013 average; but foreign financial issuers and non-financial issuers have increased their issuance to offset the
decline in domestic financial issuers. In this environment, LIBOR benchmark rates within one year declined by 2 to 6
bp across the curve, with 3 month LIBOR falling below 0.25%. As the quarter came to a close in September, the Fed
began its Reverse Repo Facility announced in their July minutes, posting a fixed rate of 0.01% with over 130 nonbank counterparties, effectively setting a floor to how low repo trades. The first few days averaged around $11 billion
in volume but quarter-end balances spiked to over $58 billion, reflecting the attractiveness of the rate in a flight to
safety market.

Page 9

BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH

Managers report
The following quarter traded impact from tapering for fears of a default by the Treasury, forcing some money market
participants to sell their US Treasury bill positions maturing in October and November. The selling aggravated an
already weak market and the yield curve for short Treasuries inverted, with interest rates for two week bills rising to
0.65% from 0.03%, while 3 month bills only increased from 0.01% to 0.10%. Government backed repo rates also
climbed, rising to around 0.20%. Dealers aggressively cheapened their other money market positions to reduce
inventories and futures markets sold off, moving up the first 25 bp rate hike to September 2014, 9 months earlier than
pricing last May. US Money Market Funds (MMFs) during this time period reported a $70 billion decline in assets.
However, once the government settled its issues, MMFs regained over $60 billion in assets and investors rapidly put
their money to work, focusing predominantly on securities dated six months and in. Heavy buying rallied the markets
and interest rates declined across sectors, dropping below their pre-crisis levels for CP and CDs. Futures markets
retraced most of the sell-off and pushed the potential for rate hikes back to late 2015. CP issuers were able to extend
the maturity of their positions with 33% of their outstandings funded after year-end.
With improving economic data in November, the Fed continued to argue for the separation of tapering and rate hikes,
searching for the right tools to reinforce their forward guidance. With this backdrop and the anticipated December
reduction of supply, short-term investors succumbed to the posted low interest rates and purchased securities across
the curve. In the final month of the quarter, short-term issuers posted attractive rates for maturities beyond 3 months
to lock-in some longer term financing and dealers pared their positions in preparation for year-end. Investors took
advantage of the slight pricing pressure to snap up the issues and then spent the remainder of the month managing
overnight and short liquidity. Additionally, the Fed altered its reverse repo facility, increasing the maximum size for
its reverse repo facility to $3 billion from $1 billion per counterparty, while lowering the fixed rate from 0.05% to
0.03%. The move was well received as use of the facility escalated from 27 bidders using $26 billion on December
20th to 102 bidders for $198 billion on December 31st. With little agency and CP supply to absorb available cash,
repo and Treasury bill rates turned negative going into the close of the markets at year-end but quickly returned to
normal after the New Year.
The fluctuations in equity and emerging markets at the beginning of 2014 kept longer-term investors in flight to
safety mode, rallying Treasuries and stalling new corporate bond issuance. Heavy issuance in the New Year across
bank and corporates was absorbed with little spread widening. Market participants in the US continued to make
heavy use of the Feds new Reverse Repo Facility with the Fed announcing a one-year extension to the facility early
in the quarter. Treasury bill supply surged in Q1, with large cash management bills being placed after the April tax
date. This additional Treasury supply helped fuel higher bill yields and higher repo rates. On the other hand,
government Agency supply, as well as the amount of dealer repo, continued to decline. Use of the Feds Reverse
Repo facility continued to improve with the rate increased to 0.05% and counterparty limits raised to $10 billion.
Activity at the facility peaked on March quarter-end with $242 billion of repo done. Money market supply, or lack
thereof, was the primary concern as we entered the final quarter of the fiscal year. CP activity picked up in the first
full week of May after Fed Chair Yellen repeated her commitment to lower for longer rates despite stronger recent
growth data and ECB President Draghi confirmed his central bank continues to be prepared for further, and
potentially unconventional, accommodation, including the potential for negative short-term rates. Longer dates
experienced strong volumes, up over 10.4% of average daily volume, while shorter dates also rose, up almost $11
billion or 79.2% of volume. Similar to prior months, Japanese and Nordic banks led activity in 3-4 months. Canadian
and Australian banks took advantage of strong demand issuing 1 year floating rate securities. Financial issuers
preferred to focus on maturities longer than 3 months to improve Basel III positioning; issuing fixed, floating,
callable and putable securities and cheapening by 1 basis point or so to attract size. Issuance inside of 3 months
continued to richen, along with the lower repo and government levels.

Strategy
The investment strategy applied in FY 2013/2014 by BNP Paribas InstiCash USD primarily consisted of investing in
fixed rate instruments with maturities of up to six months, taking advantage of supply from European banks, mostly
French, in the shorter dates, and Japanese banks in the 3-4 month segment. Front end repo rates were anchored for
much of the year in low single digit returns and with no changes to the FOMC policy regarding the Fed Funds target,
the front end should remain anchored for the time being. In light of these market evolutions the fund has gradually
increased its WAM and WAL from high 30s to low 40s in tandem with the search for yield across the curve. From a
diversification perspective over the past twelve months, Canadian and Nordic issuers have been the beneficiaries of
flows within the funds offering liquidity and high quality yield, while exposure to the US has been reduced. The fund
is weighted toward the highest quality issuers with 100% of holdings rated A-1 or better and maintains ample
liquidity for shareholder flows. Between 31 May 2013 and 31 May 2014 the net asset value of the fund stayed
roughly the same, decreasing slightly to $644M USD.

c) sub-funds, categories, or classes reserved for Institutional Investors, Managers, and UCIs.

been subject to the taxe dabonnement;
b) sub-funds, categories, and/or classes:
(i) whose securities are reserved to Institutional Investors, Managers, or UCIs and
(ii) whose sole object is the collective investment in money market instruments and the placing of deposits

(iv) that have obtained the highest possible rating from a recognized rating agency;
c) sub-funds, share categories and/or classes reserved to:

Notes to the financial statements at 31/05/2014

In addition, the Company may be subject to foreign UCIs tax, and/or other regulators levy, in the country where
the sub-fund is registered for distribution.
Taxation of the Companys investments
Some of the Companys portfolio income, especially income on dividends and interest, as well as certain capital
gains, may be subject to tax at various rates and of different types in the countries in which they are generated. This
income and capital gains may also be subject to withholding tax. Under certain circumstances, the Company may
not be eligible for the international agreements preventing double taxation that exist between the Grand Duchy of
Luxembourg and other countries. Some countries will only consider that persons taxable in Luxembourg qualify
under these agreements.
Taxation of shareholders
a) Residents of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
On the date of the Prospectus (September 2013), the dividends earned and capital gains made on the sale of shares
by residents of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are not subject to withholding tax.
Dividends are taxable at the base rate.
Capital gains made on the sale of shares are not subject to income tax if the shares are held for a period of over six
months, except in the case of resident shareholders holding over 10% of the shares of the Company.
b) Non-residents
In principle, according to current law and in the event that the provisions of Directive 2003/48 as specified in
item c) below do not apply:
- the dividends earned and the capital gains made on the sale of shares by non-residents are not subject to
withholding tax;
- the capital gains made by non-residents on the sale of shares are not subject to Luxembourg income tax.
Nevertheless, if there is a dual tax convention between the Grand Duchy and the shareholders country of
residence, the capital gains made on the sale of shares are tax-exempt in principle in Luxembourg, with the
taxation authority being attributed to the shareholders country of residence.
c) Residents of another member state of the European Union, including the French overseas departments, the
Azores, Madeira, the Canary Islands, the land Islands and Gibraltar.
Any individual who receives dividends from the Company or the proceeds from the sale of shares in the Company
through a paying agent based in a state other than the one in which he resides is advised to seek information on the
legal and regulatory provisions applicable to him.
Most countries covered by Directive 2003/48 will report to the tax authorities in the state of residence of the
beneficial owner of the income the amounts of income from debt claims included in the amount distributed by the
Company (if the sub-fund invests more than 15% of its assets in debt claims as defined by Article 6 of Directive
2003/48) or included in the capital gain from the sale, refund or redemption of shares in the Company (if the subfund invests more than 25% of its assets in debt claims as defined by Article 6 of Directive 2003/48).
Instead of such reporting, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as well as certain other countries, including Austria
and Switzerland, will generally apply a withholding tax on the interest and other income related to interest paid to a
beneficial owner resident in another member state. This withholding tax will be 35%. Such withholding will be
taken into consideration for tax purposes by the tax authority of the state of residence of the individual, in
accordance with applicable tax law. The beneficial owner may instruct the paying agent to submit to the
information-exchange system or to use a tax certificate as an alternative to the withholding tax.
d) Residents of third countries or territories
In principle, no withholding tax is levied on interest paid to residents of third countries or territories.
However, withholding tax is levied, in accordance with Directive 2003/48, on interest and related income paid out
to beneficial owners resident in the Netherlands Antilles, Aruba, Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man, the British
Virgin Islands and Montserrat.
e) US Tax
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) provisions, where the Company invests directly or
indirectly in US assets, payments to the Company of US-source income after December 31, 2013, gross proceeds
of sales of US property by the Company after December 31, 2016 (at the earliest) and certain other payments
received by the Company after December 31, 2016 will be subject to 30% US withholding tax unless the Company
complies with FATCA.
Page 32

BNP PARIBAS INSTICASH

Notes to the financial statements at 31/05/2014

To avoid such withholding on payments made to it, the Company generally will be required to enter into an
agreement with the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under which it will agree to undertake due
diligence to identify its direct or indirect U.S. shareholders and report certain information concerning them to the
IRS. However, the form of the agreement has not been provided by the United States. Any amounts of US tax
withheld may not be refundable by the IRS.
The United States has entered into an intergovernmental agreement with The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on
March 28, 2014. The two countries still need to agree on the French version of the text (only the English version

Note 6 Securities reverse repurchase/repurchase agreements


In accordance with Circular 08/356, each sub-fund may, on an ancillary basis, engage in repurchase agreements
which consist of purchases and sales of securities with clauses reserving the sellers right to buy the sold securities
back from the purchaser at a price and time stipulated between the two parties at the time of entering into the
contract. Each sub-fund may engage in repurchase agreements either as buyer or seller. However, the involvement
of a sub-fund in such agreements is subject to the following rules:
a) Each sub-fund may buy or sell securities with repurchase options only if the counterparties in these agreements
are first-rank financial institutions specialising in this type of transaction; and
b) During the lifetime of a repurchase agreement, a sub-fund may not sell the securities forming the subject of the
contract until the counterpartys repurchase option has been exercised or the repurchase term has expired.
In addition, each sub-fund must ensure that it keeps the scale of repurchase agreements at such a level that it is
capable at all times of meeting its share/unit repurchase obligations to shareholders/unitholders.
The securities which are the subject of repurchase transactions must be compliant with the investment policy of the
Company and must together with the other securities which the Company holds in its portfolio, globally comply
with the investment restrictions of the Company.
A sub-fund that enters into a reverse repurchase agreement will ensure that:
-

At any time the sub-fund may recall the full amount of cash or terminate the reverse repurchase
agreement on either an accrued basis or a mark-to-market basis. When the cash is recallable at any time
on a mark-to-market basis, the mark-to-market value of the reverse repurchase agreement should be used
for the calculation of the net asset value of the sub-fund.
At any time the sub-fund may recall any securities subject to the repurchase agreement or terminate the
repurchase agreement into which it has entered.
Fixed-term repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements that do not exceed seven days should be
considered as arrangements on terms that allow the assets to be recalled at any time by the sub-fund.

of EUR 1 491 452 relating to interest collected on reverse repurchase transactions.
For the sub-fund BNP Paribas InstiCash GBP, the account Income on investments and assets includes an amount
