1.)
GENERAL
The "Salm" investment fund was set up on the initiative of Salm-Salm & Partner GmbH and is managed by IPConcept (Luxemburg)
S.A. in accordance with the Fund's Management Regulations. The management regulations first came into force on 10 August
2012 and were published on 17 September 2012 in the “Mémorial, Recueil des Sociétés et Associations”, the official journal of the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Mémorial”). The management regulations were last amended on 18 February 2014, and a notice of
deposit with the Commercial Register in Luxembourg was published in the Mémorial on 2 April 2014.
The Salm fund is a Luxembourg investment fund (fonds commun de placement) established for an indefinite period in the form of
an umbrella fund with one or more sub-funds in accordance with Part I of the Luxembourg Law of 17 December 2010 on Collective
Investment Undertakings ("Law of 17 December 2010").
The management company of the Fund is IPConcept (Luxemburg) S.A. (the "Management Company"), a public limited company
(Aktiengesellschaft) under the law of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg with its registered office located at 4, rue Thomas Edison, L1445 Luxembourg-Strassen. It was incorporated for an indefinite period on 23 May 2001. Its Articles of Association were published
in the Mémorial on 19 June 2001. The most recent amendment to the Articles of Association came into effect on 14 November
2013 and was published in the Mémorial on 11 December 2013. The Management Company is entered in the Luxembourg
Register of Trade and Companies under registration number R.C.S. Luxembourg B 82 183.
2.)
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION
The Executive Board of the Management Company was responsible for drawing up this report in accordance with the legal
provisions applicable in Luxembourg and standards for preparation and presentation of reports.
1. The net assets of the Fund are denominated in euros (EUR) ("the reference currency").
2. The value of a unit (the "unit value") is denominated in the currency laid down in the Annex to the Sales Prospectus ("sub-fund
currency"), insofar as no other currency is stipulated for other unit classes in the respective Annex to the Sales Prospectus
("unit class currency").
3. The unit value is calculated by the Management Company or a third party commissioned for this purpose by the Management
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”) and rounded up to two decimal places. The Management Company may decide on a
different arrangement for individual sub-funds, in which case it should be taken into account that the unit value should be
calculated at least twice a month.
The Management Company may, however, decide to determine the unit value on 24 and 31 December of a given year without
these determinations of value being calculations of the unit value on a valuation day as referred to in the first sentence of this
sub-section (3). Consequently, the investors cannot demand the issuance, redemption and/or exchange of units on the basis of
a unit value determined on the 24 December and/or 31 December of a year.
4. In order to calculate the unit value, the value of the assets of each sub-fund, less the liabilities of each sub-fund, is determined
on each valuation day (“net sub-fund assets”), and this is divided by the number of units in circulation on the valuation day.
5. As far as applicable provisions of the law or of the Management Regulations require the situation of the Fund assets in their
entirety to be described in the annual or semi-annual reports or in other financial statistics, the assets of the relevant sub-funds
will be converted to the reference currency. Net sub-fund assets are calculated according to the following principles:
a) Securities, money market instruments, derivative financial instruments (derivatives) and other investments officially listed
on a securities exchange are valued at the latest available trade price which provides a reliable valuation on the trading
day preceding the valuation day. If securities, money market instruments, derivative financial instruments (derivatives) and
other investments are officially listed on several securities exchanges, the stock exchange with the highest liquidity will be
the definitive one.
b) Securities, money market instruments, derivative financial instruments (derivatives) and other investments not officially
listed on a securities exchange (or whose stock exchange rate is not deemed representative, e.g. due to lack of liquidity)
but traded on another regulated market shall be valued at a price no less than the bid price and no more than the offer
price of the trading day preceding the valuation day, which the Management Company considers, to the best of its
knowledge, to be the best possible price at which the securities, money market instruments, derivative financial
instruments (derivatives) and other investments can be sold.
(c) OTC derivatives are valued on a daily basis by means of a valuation to be determined and validated by the Management
Company.
(d) Units in UCI/UCITS are determined at the last available redemption price set before the valuation day or are valued at the
latest available price which affords a reliable valuation. If the redemption of investment units is suspended or no
redemption prices are established, the units and all other assets will be valued at their appropriate market value, as
determined in good faith by the Management Company in line with generally accepted valuation and verifiable valuation
standards.
(e) If the prices in question are not fair market prices and if no prices are set for financial instruments different from those
listed under (a)-(d), then these financial instruments and the other legally permissible assets shall be valuated at their
46
Explanatory Notes
to semi-annual report as at 31 March 2014
current trading value, which shall be established in good faith by the Management Company on the basis of generally
accepted, verifiable valuation rules (e.g. suitable valuation models taking account of current market conditions).
f)
Liquid funds are valuated at the nominal value, plus interest.
(g) Amounts due, for example deferred interest claims and liabilities, shall in principle be rated at the nominal value.
h) The market value of securities, money-market instruments, derivatives and other investments denominated in a currency
other than that of the relevant sub-fund shall be converted into the currency of the sub-fund at the exchange rate of the
trading day preceding the valuation day, using WM/Reuters fixing at 5 p.m. (4 p.m. GMT). Profits and losses from foreign
exchange transactions shall on each occasion be added or subtracted.
The net assets of the individual sub-fund will be reduced by any distributions which may be paid to the investors of the relevant
sub-fund.
6. The unit value is calculated separately for each sub-fund pursuant to the criteria specified herein. However, if there are different
unit classes within a sub-fund, the unit value will be calculated separately for each unit class within this sub-fund pursuant to
the criteria contained herein.
The tables published in this report may, for arithmetical reasons, contain rounding up differences which are higher or lower than a
unit (currency, percentage, etc.).
3.) TAXATION
Fund taxation
The assets of the Fund are subject in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to a tax known as the "taxe d'abonnement", which currently
amounts to 0.05% per annum, or 0.01% per annum for the sub-funds or classes of units that are issued exclusively to institutional
investors. The taxe d'abonnement is payable quarterly on the Fund’s net assets reported at the end of each quarter. The amount of
the taxe d’abonnement is specified for each sub-fund or unit classes in the relevant Annex to the sales prospectus. If fund assets
are invested in other Luxembourg investment funds already subject to the taxe d’abonnement, the portion of fund assets invested
in such Luxembourg investment funds is exempt from this tax.
The fund’s income derived from the investment of fund assets is not subject to taxation in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
However, such income may be subject to taxation at source in countries in which fund assets are invested. In such cases, neither
the Custodian Bank nor the Management Company are obliged to collect tax certificates.
Taxation of earnings from units in the investment fund held by the investor
Pursuant to Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of interest payments (the "Directive"), a withholding tax has been levied in the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg since 1 July 2005. This withholding tax applies to specific interest income paid in Luxembourg to
natural persons who are tax residents in another Member State. Under certain circumstances, investment fund interest income may
also be subject to the withholding tax.
By means of the Directive, the EU Member States agreed that all interest payments should be taxed in accordance with the
regulations that apply in the state where a person is resident. To this end, an automatic exchange of information was stipulated
between the national tax authorities. In deviation therefrom, it was agreed that, for a transitional period, Luxembourg would not
participate in the automatic exchange of information stipulated between the other states. Instead, Luxembourg introduced a
withholding tax on interest income. As of 1 July 2011, this withholding tax shall amount to 35% of the interest payments. This tax is
remitted to the Luxembourg tax authority anonymously, and the investor is issued with a certificate to this effect. The certificate
enables the tax so remitted to be applied fully against the tax liability of the taxpayer in the state of its registered office. By issuing a
power of attorney on voluntary participation in the exchange of information between tax authorities or by providing a "certificate
permitting the collection of income tax at source to be waived" (Bescheinigung zur Ermöglichung der Abstandnahme vom
Quellensteuerabzug), the withholding tax can be avoided.

EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD
With effect from 1 October 2013, the sub-fund WARBURG - L- Fonds - Wandelanleihe was merged into the newly established subfund of the Salm - Salm Investment Grade Convertible umbrella fund. The merger of the respective unit classes took place using

By resolution of the extraordinary general meeting of IPConcept (Luxembourg) S.A. on 14 November 2013, the management
changed from a one-tier organisational structure to a two-tier organisational structure. As a result of this resolution, since this date,
the operational management is carried out by the Board of Directors and this management is monitored by Supervisory Board.
