    獨立查核會計師報告

    致 ING(L)之股東

    3, rue Jean Piret, L-2350 Luxemburg

    承 2014 年 1 月 23 日可變資本投資公司年度股東常會之指派,我方已查核 ING(L)

    及其子基金之財務報表,內容包括截至 2014 年 9 月 30 日之淨資產、有價證券投

    資組合及衍生性金融工具報表,至該年度底營運及淨資產變動報表,以及重大會

    計政策摘要暨其他財務報表之附註。

    可變資本投資公司董事會對於財務報表之責任

    可變資本投資公司之董事會須依盧森堡法規對於財務報表準備及表達之要求,負

    責編制並允當表達該等財務報表,以及可變資本投資公司之董事會所認為必要之

    內部控制制度,以使財務報表之準備及表達無重大錯誤,無論係出於詐欺或過

    失。

    獨立會計師(réviseur d`enterprises agréé)之責任

    我方責任係根據對於財務報表之查核出具意見。我方係依盧森堡「金融監督管理

    局(Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier)」所採取之國際查核標準進行

    查核。上述標準要求我方需遵守道德規範,並計畫、執行查核,以合理確保財務

    報表免於重大錯誤。

    查核需要執行程序以取得與財務報表中金額及揭露事項相關之查核證據。選擇程

    序取決於對於「獨立會計師(réviseur d`enterprises agréé)」之判斷,包括評估財務

    報表發生重大錯誤之風險,無論該錯誤係基於詐欺或過失。於進行風險評估時,

    獨立會計師考量該公司有關編制及允當表達財務報告之內部控制制度,以設計適

    合該情況之查核程序,但並非針對該公司內部控制制度之有效性表示意見。查核

    尚包括評估所使用之會計政策之適當性、可變資本投資公司董事會會計預測之合

    理性,以及評價財務報表之整體表述(overall presentation)。

    我方相信我們所獲得之查核證據充分,且適於作為查核意見之基礎。

    意見

    我方認為,依盧森堡法規對於財務報表準備及表達之要求,本財務報表就 2014

    年 9 月 30 日 ING(L)及其子基金之財務狀況,以及至該年度底淨資產之操作和變

    動結果,為真實且允當。

  • (中譯文僅供參考,如有疑義應以英文法定查核會計師報告為準)

    其他事項

    我方已於委任範圍內查閱了附加於本年報之補充資訊,但我方並未依據上述之標

    準進行特別查核。因此,我方對於該資訊並未表示意見。然而,我方就被視為本

    財務報表整體之一部之前開資訊並無保留意見。

    獨立查核會計師報告

    致 ING(L)之股東

    3, rue Jean Piret, L-2350 Luxemburg

    我方已查核 ING(L)(下稱「可變資本投資公司」)之財務報表,內容包括截至 2014

    年 9 月 30 日之有價證券投資組合及衍生性金融工具報表,以及至該年度底營運

    及淨資產變動之相關報表。本財務報表為基金董事會之責任。我方責任係根據對

    於財務報表之查核出具意見。

    我方依照美國一般可接受的會計準則進行查核。該等準則要求我方計畫並進行查

    核以就財務報表是否不具重大錯誤取得合理確信。我方並未受託就可變資本投資

    公司財務報告之內部控制制度進行查核。我方之查核包括考量財務報告之內部控

    制制度作為基礎,以設計適合該情況之查核程序,但並非針對可變資本投資公司

    關於財務報告之內部控制制度之有效性表示意見之目的。因此,我方並未表達該

    等意見。查核尚包括在測試的基礎上檢視佐證在財務報表上之金額及揭露的證據,

    評估所使用的會計原則以及管理階層所為之重大預測,並評估財務報表之整體表

    述。我方相信我們的查核可作為我方意見之合理基礎。

    意見

    我方認為,依盧森堡法規之要求,前所提及之財務報表在各方面均允當地表達

    ING(L)於 2014 年 9 月 30 日之財務狀況,以及至該年度底淨資產之操作和變動結

    果。

    Management's report Economic context The global recovery proceeded in the last three months of 2013, even though it remained subdued and diverse across regions. The recovery was most apparent in the US, Japan and the United Kingdom. In the Eurozone, as well as in the emerging world, the recovery continued to lag. In the United States, the economic recovery continued at a steady pace, driven by reasonable job growth, wage growth, a rise in house prices and improving financial conditions. In line with this, the increase in consumer expenditure in particular gave a significant boost to economic activity. Inflation remained under control as it amounted to 1.2% in November compared with the same month a year earlier. Republican and the White House argued over the budget in October but finally reached a compromise to delay such vote until early 2014. In mid-December, the US Congress reached a 2 year deal on the US budget, reducing the risk of a new US federal shutdown. In the Eurozone, the economic recovery continued in the fourth quarter, albeit slowly. A positive factor was that businesses seemed to find it somewhat easier to obtain credit. The recovery was also supported by fewer government cutbacks and by export growth on the back of the recovery in the global economy. Inflation fell to 0.7% in the 12-month period to October. The considerable overcapacity and the pressure on wages continued to depress inflation. In Japan, underlying activity remained robust, supported by expansionary fiscal and monetary policies. Japan’s inflation accelerated to 1.5% in the 12-month period to November, the fastest pace since 2008. In the emerging economies, the economic recovery in the US and Europe bolstered growth in some countries. For others, this positive effect was negligible because their export sector was too small or too geared to China. Global economic activity expanded in the first quarter of 2014, albeit at a moderate pace, mirroring changes in growth dynamics across regions. While growth is picking up in most advanced economies, momentum has slowed in major emerging market economies. More specifically, improvements in private sector balance sheets and accommodative policies continue to support economic activity in advanced economies, while structural hurdles and tightened financial conditions have resulted in a slowdown in emerging market economies. Global inflation remained contained on the back of ample spare capacity and lower energy prices. In the United States, economic indicators in January and February were weaker than expected due to the bad weather and inventory corrections but consumer spending proved resilient. The Eurozone continued its slow recovery with gauges of industrial activity pointing to a growth rate of 0.3%-0.4% in the quarter. Fears of deflation in the area continued to hang over as inflation declined to 0.5% in March. Japanese economic data for the first quarter of 2014 were also distorted by cold weather. Nevertheless, the momentum in the domestic economy and the labour market remained positive ahead of a sale-tax hike. The outlook for emerging markets deteriorated in the quarter, partly because of the lack of structural reforms and the increased political instability in several countries, including Venezuela, Thailand, Ukraine and Turkey. Capital continued to flow out of the emerging region, with local currencies depreciating as a result. Various central banks hiked their interest rates as a consequence. Finally, China’s recent economic data pointed to a gradual weakening in the growth momentum. The transition from an economic model based on investments and exports to a model based on household consumption held back activity as did authorities’ efforts to lower the economy’s reliance on credit growth. Global economic activity recovered in the second quarter of 2014 after being depressed in the first quarter by temporary factors, notably the unusually cold winter in the United States and the shutdown of heavy-industry plants in China to limit air pollution. The economic momentum firmed up in advanced economies on the back of increased confidence, improved private sector balance sheets and accommodative policies. In the US, activity was mainly driven by household consumption, which benefited from a reduction in austerity policies, falling commodity prices, a slow upturn in the labour market and a wealth effect linked to the strong stock market performance. Company restocking also contributed to the better momentum. Economic recovery in the Eurozone remained fragile and of variable speed. While activity was supported by the reduction in the intensity of austerity policies and an improvement in the confidence of businesses and households, it nevertheless remained hampered by high unemployment and low inflation, which reached 0.5% in May and June. In the United Kingdom, economic activity strengthened on the back of robust domestic demand and a booming housing market. Japanese data indicate that the economy absorbed the negative impact of the sales tax hike on 1 April, thanks to a robust job market. Signs of stabilization in the growth momentum have appeared in the emerging world, driven by growing exports to the mature economies and improved financial conditions. In China, the improvement was supported by small, focused stimulants by the government, targeting infrastructure projects. The property sector however contracted, cancelling out a large part of the effect of the government incentives. Geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine on one hand and between sectarian groups in Iraq on the other raised concerns about spillovers to the world economy should these tensions escalate. Global inflation remained low compared with historical averages, reflecting muted commodity price developments and abundant global spare capacity.

    Management's report The global economy strengthened in the third quarter of 2014. The global purchasing managers' index, a benchmark of global activity, reached 55.1 in August, a historically high level, supported by a rise in orders, which heralds a continued rise in activity in the coming months. This positive outlook was also confirmed in recent months by the historically low level of stocks, the rise in corporate investments and the beneficial effect for households of lower energy and food prices. This improvement primarily reflected the strong rebound in the United States, the largest economy in the world, where the factors that had held back activity at the start of the year quickly disappeared. In the United Kingdom, activity retained its strong momentum of growth in the third quarter of 2014, supported by rising consumer confidence and property prices. In Japan, the economy recovered in the summer from a contraction in the previous quarter caused by a sales tax hike on April 1. The euro area remained the weak link in the global economy. It was penalized by a high unemployment rate, budgetary austerity policies and direct exposure to political tensions in Ukraine. Finally, growth in the emerging world weakened again in the summer. Disappointing growth in world trade, flattening demand from China and tighter financial conditions have all slowed the growth momentum in the emerging world. In China, the high credit growth that has built up over recent years and the overcapacity in the real estate sector undermined domestic demand. An increase in exports however helped to mitigate these impacts. Monetary policy The monetary policies of the major central banks remained very easy in the last quarter of 2013. The Federal Reserve (the "Fed")’s decision in September to defer tapering had a stabilizing effect on the markets. In the last months of 2013, investors gradually understood that the Fed made a strict distinction between tapering and interest rate policy. In December 2013, the Fed said it would cut its monthly purchases of financial assets by 10 billion USD to 75 billion USD from January 2014 and that it would cut them further in 2014 if the economic recovery continued at a sustainable pace. The central bank also added that key interest rates were likely to stay close to zero for an extended period. In Europe, the European Central Bank ("ECB") underscored once more that it intended to support the economic recovery for a long time. In light of the weak economic recovery and the risk of deflation, the central bank cut in November its key Refinance interest rate ("Refi") to 0.25% from 0.5% and committed to keep interest rates low for an extended period of time. The Bank of England ("BoE") also held its key interest rate at a record low 0.5% in the fourth quarter and maintained its program of asset purchases even as it found that the economy was strengthening. In Japan, the Bank of Japan ("BoJ") maintained during the last quarter of 2013 its record easing, pledging to expand the monetary base by an annual 60 trillion to 70 trillion yen. In the emerging world as a whole, financial conditions remained fairly tight owing to capital outflow and the need to fight inflation. The countries most affected were those depending on foreign capital to fund their current account deficits (Brazil, Turkey, South Africa and India). In several countries, the central banks had to hike official rates to prevent capital outflows and fight inflationary pressures. Central banks of advanced economies pursued very accommodative monetary policies in the first quarter of 2014. At the same time, financial conditions tightened in several emerging countries. The Fed kept short term interest rates close to 0% to support the continuity of the economic recovery. In line with the improvement seen in the economy and the fall in the jobless rate, the US central bank reduced its program of monthly asset purchases by 10 billion USD-a-month in January, February and March. The tapering was coupled with a commitment to keep interest rates low for a long period. The ECB kept its key Refi unchanged at 0.25% in the first quarter of 2014 as the central bank appeared content with the slow, but gradual recovery of the Eurozone economy. Deflation risks were played down but the ECB said it had tools to deal with such development, if needed. The BoJ also continued its extremely easy monetary policy. The fears regarding the strength of the economic recovery ahead of the sale-tax hike have prompted the central bank to keep its program of asset purchases with the aim of stimulating the economy. Emerging economies remained vulnerable to the outflow of capital as a consequence of the lack of structural reforms in the region and political tensions. Countries that are dependent on foreign capital to finance their current account deficits (Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey, South Africa and India) had to increase the level of interest rates to combat the outflow of capital. China’s central bank faced a difficult balancing act as it sought to reduce the amount of loans granted by non-banking institutions without crushing the fragile economic growth.

    Management's report In the second quarter of 2014, weak global nominal economic growth and subdued inflation pressures supported accommodative monetary policies in developed economies. In the US, the Fed reduced its monthly bond purchases by 10 billion USD after each Federal Open Market Committee Meeting. The Chairwoman of the US Fed, Janet Yellen, confirmed that the programme, down to 35 billion USD in July, would in principle be ended by the end of this year. The ECB lowered its inflation expectations to 0.7% this year, clearly below its target of an annual rate around 2%. On June 5, the ECB announced major initiatives to fight deflation. It cut its benchmark refinancing rate by 10 basis points to 0.15% and its deposit rate to minus 0.1% from zero. In a bid to get credit flowing to the economy, the ECB also opened a 400-billion-euro lending facility to banks. Finally it pledged to start working on an asset-purchase plan. The BoE held its key interest rate at a record-low 0.5% despite a strengthening economic recovery and a surge in house price. BoE’s officials said an interest-rate increase this year may be more likely than investors anticipate. Japan’s core consumer prices rose 3.4% in May from a year earlier, the fastest pace in 32 years, boosted by higher utility charges and a sales-tax increase. The BoJ kept its monetary policy unchanged during the quarter, confident that inflation will reach 2% in 2015. The fall in long-term interest rates in the mature economies revived investors’ interest in the opportunities in the emerging world. But the situation in the region remains vulnerable. Central banks in several countries raised their official interest rates during the quarter with the purpose of stemming the outgoing flow of capital. In the third quarter of 2014, low inflation rates and large output gaps supported the implementation of very accommodative monetary policies in developed economies. Divergences however became clear between the US and the UK on one hand and the euro area and Japan on the other. In a context of sustained economic growth, falling unemployment and limited inflation, the Fed kept its prime rate unchanged between 0% and 0.25% in the summer. Moreover, it reduced its bond purchases by 10 billion USD after each Federal Open Market Committee Meeting. The Fed said it will wind up this program at the end of October. The Fed maintained its commitment to keep its prime rate at the current level for an extended period and forecasted rates of between 1.25% and 1.5% at the end of 2015. In the Eurozone, faced with a faltering economic recovery and a low inflation rate, the ECB lowered its prime rate by 10 basis points to 0.05% and its deposit rate to -0.2% in September. The ECB also granted commercial banks a first tranche of loans for the financing of the private sector. The bank finally pledged to purchase financial assets from October onward involving covered bonds and structured products comprising loans to the private sector. In Japan, the BoJ remained confident that inflation will reach the targeted 2% by the end of 2015. To achieve this, it kept its policy to expand the monetary base by 60,000 to 70,000 billion yen a year through the purchase of financial assets. Finally, in the emerging economies, the central banks of some countries kept their monetary policy tight, perhaps tighter than would be possible by reason of the weak growth and lower-than-expected inflation. In these countries, the vulnerability to capital outflow justified a tight monetary policy in an environment where speculation grew about a first interest rate hike by the Fed. Fixed Income Markets During the last three months of 2013, yields on the safest Treasuries traded sideways. Yields on ten-year US Treasuries moved within a range of approximately 50 basis points between 2.5% and 3% while those of German Bunds hovered between 1.65% and 2%. Yields ended the quarter at the high side of the ranges, but remained low compared with past historical levels. Yields initially declined to 2.5% (US) and 1.65% (Germany) in October as a result of the Fed’s decision not to start tapering in September. In Europe, a weak economic recovery, very low inflation numbers and a cut in a key short-term interest rate also created initially an environment where yields on Eurozone Treasuries had limited upside. In December however, yields in US and German Treasuries rose driven by strong economic data in the US and Germany and by the Fed’s announcement in December that it would taper its bond-buying program as from January 2014. Even though the demand for German Treasuries began to ease in December, the demand for the government bonds of countries like Spain, Italy, Portugal and Ireland persisted. Investment grade corporate credits in the Eurozone outperformed German Bunds during the quarter with spreads narrowing from 134 basis points to 115 basis points. In particular, investment grade credits issued by companies based in the peripheral countries of the Eurozone did well in the quarter. The environment for high yield credits also remained supportive with market sentiment buoyed by increasing signals indicating that the global economic recovery was spreading. Finally, the environment for emerging market debt in hard and local currencies remained volatile and challenging owing to the on-going capital outflows from the category, the weaker economic growth, the drop of domestic currencies and the tight monetary policies implemented in several emerging countries.

    Management's report Yields on 10-year Treasuries in the US and Germany declined in the first quarter of 2014. In the United States, the yield on ten-year US Treasuries fell from 3% to 2.7% as a result of the increase in risk aversion due to the deteriorated outlook for emerging markets and China and the escalation of tensions in Ukraine. Some disappointing economic figures also contributed to the fall in the yield. In the Eurozone, the yield on ten-year German government bonds also contracted in the first quarter of 2014 (from 1.9% to 1.6%). German government bonds were popular due to their safe haven status. Also the lower than expected inflation data in the euro area contributed to the downward pressure on bond yields. The government bonds of peripheral Eurozone countries, e.g. Spain and Italy, were among the best performing asset classes as better economic data and good market liquidity (compared with other spread categories) contributed to a pick-up in investment flows to this category. Other fixed income categories performed relatively well in the first quarter of 2014. Corporate bonds benefited from the on-going upward economic momentum and favorable investment flows. High yield credits also had a strong first quarter. In both the US and Europe, high yield investors chased after new issues, which were in short supply. Emerging market sovereign debt got off to a weak start to the year, since sentiment towards emerging markets deteriorated in January as a result of a considerable run of bad news. Sentiment improved afterwards as investors turned mo
