SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT AND UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the half year ended 31 March 2014
GENERAL INFORMATION
Heptagon Fund plc (the “Company”) was incorporated on 27 November 2007 as an open-ended umbrella type
investment company with variable capital in Ireland.
The Company was originally authorised in Ireland by the Central Bank of Ireland, as an investment company
pursuant to part XIII of the Companies Act 1990 on 19 December 2007, to market solely to “Professional
Investors”. The Directors of the Company subsequently applied for revocation of this authorisation to coincide with
the authorisation of the Company as an Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (“UCITS”)
and from 11 November 2010, the Company is authorised and regulated in Ireland by the Central Bank of Ireland as a
UCITS pursuant to the European Union (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities)
Regulations 2011 (the “UCITS Regulations”).
The Company is structured in the form of an umbrella fund consisting of different sub-funds comprising one or
more classes. The shares of each class rank pari passu with each other in all respects provided that they may differ as
to certain matters including currency denomination, hedging strategies, if any, applied to the currency of a particular
class, dividend policy, the level of fees and expenses to be charged, subscription or redemption procedures or the
minimum subscription and minimum holding applicable. The shares of each class established in a sub-fund will be
specified in the relevant supplement.
The Company has segregated liability between sub-funds (the “Sub-Funds”) which are set out below:
-
Yacktman US Equity Fund (“Yacktman”)
Helicon Fund (“Helicon”)
Oppenheimer Developing Markets Equity Fund (“Oppenheimer”)
Kopernik Global All-Cap Equity Fund (“Kopernik”)
Oppenheimer Global Focus Equity Fund (“Oppenheimer Global”)
The assets of a Sub-Fund are invested separately in accordance with the investment objectives and policies of that
Sub-Fund.
The base currency for Yacktman, Helicon, Oppenheimer, Kopernik and Oppenheimer Global is US Dollars
(“US$”). The reporting currency for these Financial Statements is the US$.
Pricing
There is a single price for buying, selling and switching shares for each Sub-Fund. This is represented by the Net
Asset Value. The Directors may deduct a fair sum in respect of repurchase requests which necessitate any Sub-Fund
breaking deposits at a penalty or realising investments at a discount in order to realise assets to provide monies to
meet such a repurchase.
Minimum investment
The minimum subscription for Yacktman, Oppenheimer, Kopernik and Oppenheimer Global for the following
Classes in each Sub-Fund is as follows: Class A US $15,000, Class B US $15,000, Class C US $1,000,000, Class I

Portfolio Review
Volatility increased during the quarter which allowed the investment team at Yacktman to make net purchases and
reduce the cash levels in the Fund. The team feels well positioned with significant weightings in high-quality
businesses that they think can demonstrate strong operating results over the next few years.
Many of the Fund’s top holdings are in globally dominant firms with consistent business models. The consistency
element is especially important in this investing climate, as the stock market has rallied for more than five years and
Yacktman believes that corporate profit margins are at unsustainably high levels.
The Fund is a diversified fund such that individual positions representing 5% or more of assets may not exceed 40%
of the Portfolio’s value. At 31 March 2014, these larger positions totalled approximately 26% of the Fund’s assets.
Given the diversified nature of the investment mandate, the Fund also has many positions that are less than 1% of
assets. Yacktman believes these holdings can attractively compound over time while giving the portfolio the desired
level of diversification.
Yacktman’s goal is to provide solid returns over time while seeking to manage the level of risk in the Portfolio.
Yacktman’s emphasis on portfolio risk enabled the team to protect the Portfolio during the two significant market
declines of the past 15 years. The recent increase in market volatility is a reminder that how you generate returns
over time matters greatly.

INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2014
Yacktman (continued)
Top Contributors
Contributors to performance for the quarter included Microsoft Corp, CR Bard Inc, Stryker Corp and Oracle Corp.
During the quarter, Microsoft Corp appointed Satya Nadella as the new Chief Executive Officer. Most recently,
Nadella was President of Server and Tools at Microsoft Corp, one of the most successful and well-run divisions
within the company. Yacktman looks for the company to have a disciplined and focused strategy under the new
CEO.
Healthcare shares continued to shine during the quarter, with both CR Bard Inc and Stryker Corp rising solidly.
Yacktman trimmed back its position in CR Bard Inc due to the strong performance but still like the company for the
long term. Over the next few years, CR Bard Inc is positioned to grow earnings rapidly as new products receive
approval and due to increased distribution.
Oracle Corp’s shares rallied during the quarter, positively impacting the Fund. The Oracle Corp position was
established less than a year ago and is an example of how Yacktman patiently wait for opportunities. Yacktman
purchased the shares after studying the company for a long time, establishing the position after short-term business
weakness caused a sharp sell-off in the shares.
Top Detractors
Detractors in the quarter included Twenty-First Century Fox Inc, Class A (Fox), Coca-Cola Co and Avon Products
Inc.
Fox’s shares declined after the company announced it would be delisting from the Australian stock exchange. A bit
of history: Rupert Murdoch built the Fox business empire from The News, an Australian newspaper he inherited
from his father in 1952. In 2004, News Corporation (from which Fox’s shares were spun-off last year) re-domiciled
in the United States. Maintaining the listing in Australia was both a regulatory burden and an unnecessary expense,
and both factors likely influenced the delisting decision.
Roughly 10% of Fox’s outstanding shares were owned by Australian investors at year-end, with the majority of this
ownership consisting of voting shares. Before the delisting announcement, the Fund’s position had consisted of nonvoting shares because until recently, these shares sold at a discount and offered greater liquidity. In this
circumstance, Yacktman valued the price discount more highly than the voting rights, as the large voting position
represented by Rupert Murdoch and his family gave them a great deal of control. In the first quarter, the selling
pressure caused by the delisting took the voting shares to a discount, so Yacktman sold a portion of its high-cost,
non-voting shares to move to the voting shares.
Yacktman believes both classes of stock have the potential to perform better when the selling pressure caused by the
delisting is over. Recently Fox has been investing significantly in its businesses, creating both a national sports
network (FS One) and a new entertainment channel (FXX), along with acquiring sports rights globally. These
investments have reduced near-term earnings, but have set up the company for extremely fast growth over the next
several years.
Coca-Cola Co shares fell after announcing weak earnings due to soft sales of carbonated beverages and significant
currency weakness in emerging economies like Russia and Brazil. Over time, Yacktman believes Coca-Cola Co has
the ability to steadily grow its sales and earnings and remain as an incredibly dominant force in the global beverage
business. With just 3% of global beverage sales, Yacktman thinks Coca-Cola Co has the ability to produce attractive
growth for decades to come.

Yacktman (continued)
Top Detractors (continued)
Avon Products Inc continued to be in turnaround mode and was pressured by weak emerging market economies as
well. Several years before Yacktman owned shares, Avon Products Inc was one of the highest multiple consumer
staples companies due to its emerging markets exposure. Today it is one of the lowest multiple, consumer staples
companies, in part because now the market has instead got investor concerns about emerging markets exposure.
Yacktman is happy to take advantage of this shift in investor sentiment.
Portfolio Changes
Blackberry Ltd and News Corp were eliminated from the Fund. Yacktman reduced positions in special situations
like Apollo Education Group Inc, Class A and Corning Inc in the Fund due to price appreciation.
Conclusion
Yacktman thinks the Fund is extremely well positioned today. During the first quarter it found additional attractive
investment opportunities, allowing the team to reduce cash levels. Yacktman will continue to work hard to evaluate
current positions and look for new opportunities, and as always, will be diligent, objective and patient when
managing your Yacktman US Equity Fund.
Helicon
The Helicon Fund is outperforming on both a year-to-date and inception-to-date basis.
Through to 31 March, Helicon has gained 1.2% so far in 2014, 70 basis points ahead of its benchmark (a 50:50
blend of the MSCI All Country World Index and 3M US$ LIBOR). This performance also puts Helicon ahead of the
broader equity market (the ACWI is up 0.9%), despite Helicon having averaged just 60% net equity exposure YTD,
as well as ahead of its peer group of UCITS equity hedge funds (the HFRUEH, up less than 1.0%). Since inception
close to three years ago, Helicon has now gained 17.9%, 200 basis points ahead of its benchmark and over 700 basis
points ahead of its peer group. In March, Helicon lost 0.4%. March’s factsheet is attached.
How we are invested
We ended February with net equity exposure of circa 55%, a decrease of 10 percentage points relative to how we
had begun the month. The decline in our net was driven by our growing concerns about the macro environment
(detailed below) and the consequent decision to adopt more prudent positioning. Our quantitative framework
continues to show positive developments in liquidity indicators, but is more neutral on valuation and risk factors. In
order to reduce our net, we sold both equities and futures. Correspondingly, our current portfolio is constructed of
just under 90% long exposure to equities (the remainder of the Fund is in short-term US$ T-Bills) offset by a circa
35% short book comprising futures diversified across the Euro Stoxx, S&P and FTSE on a broad pro-rata basis
relative to the long book. We have no major currency exposure at present, with the majority of our investments
hedged back to the US Dollar, our base currency.

Macro Views
April’s View From The Top (below) highlights that our reasoned assessment of the current landscape leads us to the
conclusion that there is a lack of visible and positive catalysts for risky assets (equities). A deteriorating outlook in
China and directionally tighter monetary policy in the US top our list of concerns. With regard to equities in
particular, we note that some markets (particularly the US) look overvalued to us, while all regions (excluding
Japan) are suffering negative earnings revisions. These stand at a one year low. Against this background, we believe
it is prudent to reduce equity exposure somewhat. Having some allocation towards cash also leaves us wellpositioned to move actively in the event of a major market drawdown and investors should remember that only one
5%+ equity market drawdown has indeed occurred in the last two years.
Equity Allocation
We only made one new addition to the portfolio (discussed below) in March. As part of our process of reducing our
net equity exposure during the month, we sold down in several holdings that screened least compellingly for us on
our internal valuation and qualitative framework. Nonetheless, the overall tilt of the portfolio remains broadly
unchanged: there is a clear bias towards mid-cap businesses; Europe and Japan are favored relative to the US (and
we continue not to have any direct EM exposure); and, our preferred sectors remain pro-cyclical, primarily
industrials, IT and consumer discretionary. By listing, Europe and Japan comprise 45%+ of the fund’s equity book
currently; by sector, the three above-mentioned equate to 70%+ of the fund’s equity book. As the attached factsheet
shows, Helicon continues to exhibit high tracking error against its equity benchmark.
Stock in the spotlight – Jungheinrich AG
The US$2.6bn German listed forklift manufacturer and logistics business became our newest investment in the Fund
last month. We first started following this business in our thematic (Helicon Thoughts) research and Jungheinrich
AG is exposed both to the trend of automation/ robotics and to that of expanding online retail. With 90% of its
revenues from within Europe, the business is also clearly exposed to upside from any macro recovery across the
continent. We derived further reassurance from dialogue with Jungheinrich AG and several peer businesses over the
last month. The stock has moved c4% since we initiated a position and is up circa16% YTD, but continues to trade
on a 10%+ FCF yield with significant valuation upside in our view.
Heptagon’s View From The Top
View from the very top: our reasoned assessment of the current landscape leads us to conclude that there is a lack of
visible and positive catalysts for risky assets. A deteriorating outlook in China and directionally tighter monetary
policy in the US top our list of concerns. For equities, an absence of earnings growth is also worrying. As a result,
we have chosen to be prudent and reduce directional equity exposure, reallocating towards lower-beta strategies and
cash. This approach leaves us well-positioned in the event of any major drawdown.
Asset Allocation
• Equities: Some markets (particularly the US) look overvalued to us, while all regions (excluding Japan) are
currently suffering negative earnings revisions. These stand at a one-year low. While emerging markets have
recently outperformed on a relative basis, they continue to face challenges and may only be appropriate for the
longer-term investor. We believe it is hence appropriate to reduce exposure to this asset class and our preferred
allocations within equities remain towards alpha-focused global equity managers focused on bottom-up
stockpicking.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT AND UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the half year ended 31 March 2014
INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2014
Asset Allocation (continued)
• Credit: The absence of inflation and still lackluster GDP growth help explain why the yield on the US 10-year has
fallen from 3.00% to 2.75% so far in 2014. Credit still offers some (albeit limited) carry in an uncertain world, a
relative safe haven amidst potentially growing geopolitical instability. Our approach is focused on managers with
high-conviction and differentiated approaches, particularly those with flexible mandates.
• Alternative Asset Managers: One of the few areas that have delivered clear outperformance so far in 2014 has
been event-driven managers. We have recently increased allocations in this area. Such managers offer relatively low
correlations relative to the equity markets and are benefiting from an environment that has seen over US$780bn of
deals announced so far in 2014 (growth of 35% year-on-year). Further activity seems likely.
The 2014 was always going to be a harder year for investors after the rally enjoyed over the previous twelve months.
Equity markets have generally lacked direction year-to-date, while credit has outperformed. These trends may
endure for some time further and it should remain a sobering reminder that equities have only experienced one
monthly drawdown of more than 5% in the last two years. The risk of another such event in the coming months
cannot at all be ruled out and several factors perturb us. We have concerns over valuation levels in some equity
markets (particularly the US, which has outperformed year-to-date), accompanied by an increasingly uncertain
global macro environment – compounded by investor complacency. As a consequence, a reduction in exposure to
more risky assets seems a logical strategy.
Two issues – a possible Chinese credit crunch and directionally tighter US monetary policy – concern us in
particular. Without wishing to state the obvious, these factors matter for investors not just in their own right, but
given the implications that the outcomes of these two events can have in other areas too. In other words, global
interconnectedness is a fact: either a crisis in China (which most still seem to dismiss as a possibility) or a
fasterthan-anticipated rise in US rates would likely intensify the current challenges facing many emerging
economies, while any developing market deterioration would have notably negative ramifications for the world’s
more advanced economies too.
To start with China, we believe that the economy may be fast appointing a tipping point in terms of a credit crunch.
Put simply, excess investment has helped drive recent economic growth; this growth is now slowing, just as the
costs of funding it – through debt – are rising. The figures speak for themselves: total (public and private) debt will
exceed 200% of GDP this year, according to Morgan Stanley, while the rate at which private sector debt has
increased in the last five years has only been surpassed by two other countries over any similar given time period in
recent history. The two were Spain and Ireland, and the salutary lessons from these geographies ought to be clear.
Meanwhile, Chinese industrial production stands at its lowest since July 2011, export growth is slowing (down 18%
year-on-year in March) and domestic retail sales are also weak.
Against this background, a series of selected corporate defaults has occurred, bank lending rates have risen and the
local currency has fallen. None of this ought not to be surprising. However, we continue to be taken aback by the
prevailing view of confidence in the seeming ability of the Chinese authorities to manage a situation that has all the
hallmarks of a potential credit crisis. A few select interventions and bail-outs may only be delaying the inevitable
and history clearly slows that such events are, by their very nature, unpredictable. Even if there is no full-blown
crisis, a hypothetical scenario of Chinese GDP slowing from a consensus 7.5% rate of growth in 2014 to a – perhaps
more realistic 4.0-5.0% outcome – is something that is both not discounted and would have major implications for
global investors.
Our second observation that should concern investors relates to the likely evolution of US monetary policy and the
considerable ambiguity that FOMC Chair Yellen seems to have introduced. Ben Bernanke admittedly let the rate
tightening genie out of the bottle last May when the word tapering was used for the first time, but the clear
implication from the Fed’s last statement – and contrary to most expectations – was that rates could start rising
within twelve months. Investors should also take note of comments from Charles Plosser, a voting member on the
FOMC: although a noted hawk, his suggestion was that Fed Fund rates could be at 4.0% by 2016. The market is
currently pricing just 2.5%.

INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2014
Asset Allocation (continued)
At the very least, the direction of travel for US rates seems to be upwards. This seems highly incongruous to us,
particularly in the context of both an absence of inflation and a current weakening in macro data. The core
consumption deflator (the Fed’s favored measure for inflation) dropped last month from 1.2% to 1.1%, its lowest
since March 2011, and there appear to be limited signs of near-term upward pressure on wage inflation, while both
China and Japan are currently exporting deflation by proxy, given their weakening currencies.
In addition, the housing market in the US (in particular) is exhibiting a number of potentially worrying signs.
Although housing starts remain some 50% below their pre-crisis highs, it is somewhat unclear whether such levels
may be achieved during this cycle. The 30-year US mortgage rate has already risen by around 150 basis points from
trough to its current level of 4.34%, and the implication from the Fed’s commentary is that they could ascend
further. However, sales of new US homes are presently at a five-month low, pending home sales have fallen 10.2%
year-on-year (with the rate of decline accelerating) and the failure of the NAHB builder confidence survey to
rebound in March (after its biggest ever drop in February) suggests that the weather alone cannot be blamed for
deteriorating sentiment. Consumer confidence indicators are also turning downwards at present.
An alternative interpretation of the reasons behind the shift in Fed stance could simply be that their relative caution
constitutes a form of ‘insurance’, a policy back-stop, should some of the more exuberant trends in the US become
increasingly pronounced and therefore need to be controlled. Although the Fed’s mandate relates to the real
economy rather than the equity market, it is in this latter area that there is perhaps more evidence of current excess.
We have observed in previous notes that US equities look overvalued on almost all fundamental and long-term
valuation metrics and, moreover, this valuation premium is currently being exacerbated by an absence of positive
earnings revisions (Morgan Stanley’s estimate for S&P EPS growth in 2014 has fallen, from 10.5% at the start of the
year to 9.0% currently). Meanwhile, IPO activity is at its most pronounced since the tech-bubble, with the number of
businesses that are loss-making at float coming close to previous record levels.
The implications of the above are twofold. First, a slowing rate of growth in China combined with potentially tighter
(at least perceived, even if not actual) US monetary policy will likely exacerbate current emerging market
challenges. Combined current account and budget deficits are creating economic pressures in a number of diverse
geographies. Second (and related), higher rates will probably serve to intensify the pace of broad fund flows away
from emerging markets into developed markets, particularly the US. This helps partly explain the resilience of US
equities (even if we are in a bubble, it may not immediately burst) and also only makes the circle more vicious for
certain developing markets.
Clearly if there is any form of emerging market shock or dislocation (whether this is inspired by China, a country
specific current account/ budget deficit event, or a geopolitical crisis), then the ramifications for developed markets
would undoubtedly be significant. The impact could be more pronounced than in previous crises (particularly 1997,
as the most obvious comparison) for several reasons: in particular, China’s role in the world economy is now much
more significant; and, developed economies have much higher exposure and interconnectedness than previously –
through both exports and bank lending. In addition, the western world is starting from an economically lower base
now than before; namely, the absence of strong underlying GDP growth would fail to cushion any shock.
When we review the potential options open to policymakers, there are also several challenges to consider. Proactive
monetary intervention may now have reached its limits. The Federal Reserve appears already to have seen some of
its hard-fought credibility undermined by Janet Yellen’s commentary. To change stance on either tapering or the
likely future direction of interest rates may only induce further uncertainty. Mario Draghi may be similarly
constrained in Europe. Consensus-building across the Eurozone is even harder than within the Fed and the fact that
the Euro has failed to weaken suggests many investors simply do not believe that the ECB is in a position to start
buying assets anytime soon. These observations lend further support to our justification for moving to a somewhat
more cautious stance. Prudence, we feel, is currently an appropriate strategy.

Market Review
• Emerging markets sold off significantly only to rebound sharply at the end of the quarter.
As 2014 opened, the emerging markets were dominated by renewed concerns over tighter liquidity, slower growth
and political disruption. At the end of 2013, investors began taking profits on stocks that had performed particularly
well for the year and continued to do so at the start of the quarter. The MSCI Emerging Market Index declined
before investor sentiment began to turn more positive. Late in the quarter it improved sharply, especially toward the
larger markets of China, India and Brazil. Korea and Taiwan, two of the largest constituent countries in the MSCI
Emerging Market Index, benefitted as well. In all, the index rallied back to near the levels at which is opened the
year. Even the Russian market experienced some recovery from its lows.
Performance Review: Attribution & Portfolio Characteristics
• Investor profit taking followed by the sell-off in the Russian market contributed to strategy’s underperformance
in the quarter
The strategy outperformed the benchmark mostly in the Financials and Materials sectors, due to stock selection, and
in the Consumer Discretionary sector because of its relative overweight position. Stock selection caused the
portfolio to lag the benchmark in the Information Technology, Energy and Consumer Staples sectors.
With regard to regional performance, the strategy outperformed the benchmark the most in Brazil due to stock
selection along with its overweight position in India and underweight position in Korea. The strategy
underperformed the benchmark the most in Russia, and because of its allocations to South Africa (underweight) and
the United Kingdom (overweight). We remind investors that the country exposures are the result of the bottom-up
stock selection process.

Individual Holdings Driving Results
During the quarter the primary positive contributors to performance were Tencent Holdings Ltd, Housing
Development and Finance Corp and Kroton Educacional SA.
Tencent Holdings Ltd
Tencent is a Chinese Internet social networking company. It provides on-line gaming and other Internet services as
well as instant messaging. Although the stock experienced some profit taking late in the quarter, it still gained
significantly overall as mobile adoption of its services, particularly its message service, continued to run ahead of
expectations. Tencent’s business model monetizes the services it provides to its customer base very effectively. So
much so that the management of Twitter recently visited the company to learn more about its approach.
Housing Development Finance Corp
HDFC is the leading provider of housing loans in India. HDFC is a public company with no state ownership and in
Oppenheimer’s opinion it is well capitalised, soundly managed, and well positioned for growth as India continues to
develop. During the quarter, the stock benefitted from increasingly positive investor sentiment towards India.
Kroton Educacional SA
Kroton Educacional is a Brazilian educational company that the strategy has owned for a long time. The stock rose
during the quarter after the company announced earnings that were significantly above expectations. In
Oppenheimer’s opinion, Kroton Educacional remains poised to benefit from the high demand for educational
services in its market.
The stocks that detracted the most from absolute performance during the quarter were Yandex NV, Baidu Inc and
NovaTek OAO.
Yandex NV
Yandex is the dominant Internet search engine in the Russian market. During 2013, the company’s strong operating
performance caused the share price to more than double. Over the quarter, Russian stocks suffered as investors sold
them due to concerns over political tension in Ukraine. Given the performance of Yandex last year, investors had an
increased likelihood of realizing a gain and was impacted by investors taking profits. In Oppenheimer’s opinion,
Yandex’s operations and growth prospects are unchanged and they have maintained the size of their investment in
the company.
Baidu Inc
Baidu is the market dominant search engine in China. After extremely strong performance last year, the shares
experienced profit-taking and volatility during the first quarter. In Oppenheimer’s opinion, Baidu will continue to
profit from the rapid development of the Chinese Internet sector. It remains the top holding in the strategy.
NovaTek OAO
NovaTek is a Russian natural gas exploration and production company. The stock price declined during the quarter
due to negative investor sentiment on Russian shares caused by political tension over Ukraine. Furthermore, one of
the key investors in the company was among the individuals sanctioned by the U.S. government. Oppenheimer have
examined the legal and practical implications and, in their opinion, this does not affect NovaTek’s day-to-day
operations and profitability. They have maintained the size of their investment position in the company.

Market Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
• Expect continued market volatility
• As long-term investors Oppenheimer believe the portfolio is well-positioned
• Oppenheimer are comfortable with their investments in the Russian companies that they own
Over the past few quarters, a pattern has developed in emerging markets. Broadly, the markets experience declines
as investors focus on their macroeconomic concerns, only to rebound when valuations are perceived as attractive. In
Oppenheimer’s opinion, this is likely to continue in the short term.
We are also seeing increasing differentiation among sectors and companies as investors adjust to new realities.
Liquidity is tighter. Demand growth for commodities is slower – many of which are produced in the emerging
markets. Oppenheimer have always had a bias against cyclical industries and companies with high financial and
operating leverage. Oppenheimer’s portfolio reflects this and believe they are well positioned.
Finally, a note on Russia. The rapidly unfolding events in Ukraine and Crimea have produced a political dispute
between Russia, the United States and the Eurozone. Russia has annexed Crimea and the US has declared economic
and travel sanctions on some Russian individuals. It is unclear whether tensions will subside or escalate. If they
escalate, it is unclear what economic and diplomatic actions will be taken by the various nations involved. These
events caused a sell-off in the Russian market. The uncertainty will likely continue to weigh on the market and cause
share prices to be volatile. The strategy owns five Russian companies and their operations are unaffected by the US
sanctions. Oppenheimer have maintained the sizes of their positions in them by buying stock at extraordinary low
prices seen during the quarter. These companies compromise roughly 7% of the portfolio, the same weighting they
had at the beginning of the quarter.
Oppenheimer Global
The Oppenheimer Global Focus Equity UCITS Fund (the “Fund”), managed by OFI Global Institutional, Inc. (“OFI
Global” or “Oppenheimer”) was launched on 10 December 2013 and has AUM of USD 171m as of 31 March 2014.
During the first full quarter of the Fund’s existence, the Fund decreased 4.3% compared to an increase in the MSCI
All Country World Index of 1.1%.

Portfolio Review
Contributors
The top contributor to the UCITS Fund during this quarter was Global Mediacom, which rose more than 32%.
Assured Guaranty Ltd rose nearly 8% following stellar results and an upgrade by S&P, while Jazztel Plc, a Spanish
alt-net continuing to expand its fibre network and take customers, rose more than 41%. UBS AG, Credit Suisse
Group AG, Bank of America Corp and MBIA Inc also all contributed meaningfully.
Detractors
Top detractors this quarter were dominated by one name, Blinkx Plc, which fell more than 44%. Please refer to the
later section on page 4 for further information. CDON Group AB, Yandex NV and Baidu Inc also meaningfully
underperformed global markets due to the macro turmoil and general sell-off in everything related to technology,
though their business results continued to progress as we at Oppenheimer envisaged. The investment team continues
to believe that each of these companies represents compelling value for our shareholders and added to every
position.
Portfolio Activity
Following a very successful year in 2013 (the strategy was up more than 43%), portfolio activity this quarter was
focused on keeping value maximised in the Fund. It is a key part of what Oppenheimer has been doing since
inception of the strategy. A few new positions were added including Prada SpA, down nearly 30% from its recent
peak on concerns over Chinese growth. Deutsche Bank AG was also added as the recent capital raises, coupled with
balance sheet cleanup, make it rather attractive value for investors with Oppenheimer’s time horizon.
Qiwi Plc, the leading digital wallet and mobile payment network in Russia, was also added. The Crimean crisis
caused significant declines in the shares of many top quality Russian companies that actually do have clean
accounting and good corporate governance. Qiwi Plc is an excellent company with a very attractive position in
mobile payments that Oppenheimer had been watching for over a year. The 45% drop in the share price during the
quarter gave the investment team a great opportunity to do something special for Fund investors.
Oppenheimer also added a meaningful position in Lululemon Athletica Inc, a high-end athletic wear manufacturer
with an iconic brand that has been in the midst of turmoil caused by manufacturing problems and poorly thought out
management comments. Oppenheimer assessed the situation and determined that the manufacturing problems had
been solved. Further, a change in the management team coupled with strong sales of the company’s new product
lines indicate to the team that the strength of the brand remains intact. With a share price decline of over 40% since
these issues began, once the manufacturing issues were resolved and the management changes implemented, the
team took a position and think it represents a great opportunity for our shareholders.
Oppenheimer also added meaningfully to numerous positions, most notable Twenty-First Century Fox Inc, Yandex
NV and Citigroup Inc. Oppenheimer believes each of these companies represents a compelling opportunity for our
shareholders at current prices with limited downside. This is the type of asymmetry the investment team has spent
the majority of its time searching for in the past seven years. It remains on offer in this market.
Oppenheimer sold positions in several names (Biostime, Diageo Plc, Fuchs Petrolub SE, ICICI Bank Ltd , Indusind
Bank, Blue Nile, Tivo, U.S. Cellular and Ziggo (acquired)) as each of these names had appreciated significantly
since purchase and no longer represented the best value for our shareholders. The investment team will continue as
always to focus its efforts on owning the best value businesses for our shareholders.

Market Review by Randy Dishmon, Portfolio Manager
There’s always something. Bad markets amplify bad news and even good markets climb the proverbial wall of
worry. Continued debate over tapering has inspired many moments of panic in the past year, the first quarter being
no exception. It’s been clear for some time that returning to a normal state of monetary affairs is inevitable, will
likely bring higher interest rates, and will come with various uncertainties. It is decidedly not clear that any of these
possibilities has much to do with the long-term value of the companies we own or the potential investments we can
make. We remain agnostic on Fed policy when it comes to positioning the portfolio. Opportunities for our
shareholders are being created in the turmoil ensuing every time the word “tapering” hits the front page. As we’ve
said 1,000 times, making sure there is a large gap between what we’ve paid and the value of what we’ve received is
the thing we care most about. We’re currently getting several opportunities to purchase these large gaps because the
headlines are full of “tapering.” That’s fine by us.
Geopolitical turmoil also ruled during the first 90 days of 2014. Russia, enjoying the post-Olympic halo of the Sochi
games, annexed the Crimean Peninsula, making the entirety of NATO (and global markets) sit up a bit straighter.
Escalating disputes between China and Japan over five Pacific islands, along with tensions between Malaysia and
China over a missing plane carrying a large number of Chinese tourists, contribute to the growing perception of
macroeconomic decline.
As the expression goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Macroeconomic turmoil is the
backdrop of every market but can have very little to do with the value of a given company. A strong case can be
made that Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula may actually increase the value of Yandex NV and Qiwi
Plc, though both shares are down more than 30% since the crisis broke. That’s why we stay focused on what
matters...the gap between value and price, and the quality and integrity of the people running the company. Macro
headlines quickly become yesterday’s news. We focus on those things that withstand the test of time.
Rest assured that nothing in our philosophy and process for selecting great investments has changed. We are longterm investors that are focused on a time horizon of 3-5 years. Turmoil in the markets always creates opportunity.
We specialize in finding that opportunity and seek to capture it for our shareholders. That’s what we’ve been doing
for the past 7 years. We believe significant, attractive opportunities have been created for shareholders in the past
quarter as numerous top quality businesses in the sweet spot of positive structural trends have suffered severe
declines. I look forward to writing to you again in our next quarterly commentary.
A Note on Blinkx by Randy Dishmon, Portfolio Manager
Most of this quarter’s underperformance was due to a significant decline in Blinkx Plc (“Blinkx”). Blinkx has been a
very successful investment for our shareholders, having contributed 477 basis points to the strategy’s performance in
2013. The company is a leader in video advertising on the Internet, one of the fastest growing areas in the digital
world. I’ve often described the company as doing for video advertising what Google did for text advertising. Blinkx
facilitates video search combined with the ability to place advertising in video targeted to a specific audience, in a
contextually sensitive and brand-safe manner. Blinkx accomplishes what all great advertising platforms do – they
allow publishers better discovery and monetization of their content while allowing advertisers to expand their reach
to the right audience in an appropriate way. With over 100 patents, hundreds of millions spent in development, and
years of effort, the company is a leader in the fastest growing component of advertising over the past several years.
Unfortunately, in January, 2014, the company was the subject of a negative blog written by a Harvard professor.
Two anonymous funds paid a prominent Harvard professor with expertise in the field of Internet advertising to
perform research on Blinkx’s business practices.

A Note on Blinkx by Randy Dishmon, Portfolio Manager (continued)
The research concluded that some of Blinkx’s business practices looked deceptive and possibly in violation of
Federal Trade Commission disclosure requirements. These conclusions were based on FTC proceedings that took
place nearly 10 years ago against a company from which Blinkx acquired assets. Further, some of the assertions
were made by assigning responsibility to Blinkx for the business practices of its contractors. Importantly, several of
the key items presented as facts by the professor were subsequently retracted when proven factually incorrect by the
company.
In spite of the factual errors undermining key points made in the blog, the blog did cause a sharp drop in the share
price of Blinkx, benefitting the large short interest that had accumulated immediately before the blog was published.
In response, the company took the following actions. The company hired DLA Piper, a leading technology law firm
to contact the Federal Trade Commission to discuss current business practices and evaluate whether or not there
were any outstanding or pending actions against the company. There were none. The company also hired Kroll, a
global leader in risk management, to evaluate current business practices with respect to legal requirements and
industry practices. Kroll reported they found Blinkx to either meet or exceed industry standards on every metric.
Blinkx then held its first Capital Markets Day ever on March 31st, bringing together investors, management, major
customers and clients. Such leading global customers/clients of Blinkx as Yahoo!, WPP and Publicis had positive
things to say about both Blinkx technology and its ability to deliver the results they wanted. Finally, several insiders
bought stock. Quite frankly, these are not the actions of a fraudulent company in the business of deceiving people.
I would hate to think that a prominent academic was used as a tool in a classic short-selling scheme we’ve seen
before by some rather shrewd hedge funds, but from the outside that is exactly what it looks like. The admitted
factual inaccuracies in the work and the conflict of interest created by the financial arrangement with the research
sponsors, leaves me wondering.
In spite of the business disruption due to this distraction, the company met its financial guidance growing 25% year
over year in revenue, while growing EBITDA 50%.
This isn’t the first time we’ve been here with a company. In public markets, this is all too common. Here is what
matters: Is this business worth owning? Absolutely. It is a leader in the sweet spot of a key structural trend that we
believe is likely to continue for years to come. It has very attractive economics and significant barriers to entry. At
what price is it worth owning? In our estimation, given the reduced growth rate that may result for a few quarters,
the operating leverage in the business, the debt free balance sheet and attractive assets, we see the potential for our
investment to appreciate meaningfully over the next 3 years. Does management know what they are doing?
Undoubtedly. I’ve known this company since before it came public and have no issues with the actions taken by the
management on behalf of shareholders. Will they treat shareholders as owners? No past actions suggest the need for
concern.
We remain convinced this is an investment that represents a great opportunity for our shareholders at this price and
have added to our position.

The financial statements presented are unaudited condensed financial statements for the half year ended 31 March
2014. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for
the year ended 30 September 2013 which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) and Irish statute comprising the Companies Act, 1963 to 2013, and the requirements of the
European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011 (as
amended) (the “UCITS Regulations”).
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
The Company has adopted IAS 39 and classified its investments as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss.
These include equities, short term debt obligations, forward foreign currency contracts and futures. These
instruments are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuation in
price.
Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date – the date on which a Sub-Fund commits to
purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value and are derecognised when the rights to
receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the Sub-Fund has transferred substantially all risks and
rewards of ownership.
Subsequent to initial measurement financial assets and liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value. Fair
value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing
parties in an arms length transaction. Instruments held by a Sub-Fund traded on an exchange are measured at fair
value based on the last traded price for financial assets and financial liabilities on such regulated market as at the
relevant valuation point in accordance with the Prospectus. If an investment is quoted, listed or normally dealt in, on
more than one market, the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, select any of such markets for the valuation
purposes. If prices for an investment are not available at the relevant time or are unrepresentative in the opinion of
the Investment Manager or the Administrator, as its delegate, such investments shall be valued at such values as
shall be certified with care and in good faith as the probable realisation value of the investment, approved for this
purpose by the Custodian.
Transaction costs on financial assets held for trading are expensed immediately. Cash and other liquid assets are
valued at their face value with interest accrued daily.
The short term debt obligations are measured on a yield basis.
Investments in Exchange Traded Funds are traded on a recognised exchange and this may not be the same as the Net
Asset Value. These traded prices are considered fair value.
Realised and unrealised gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Realised and unrealised gains and losses on investments represent the difference between disposal proceeds or
valuation and historic cost. Transaction costs are expensed to the statement of Comprehensive Income when
incurred. Realised and unrealised gains and losses on investments are recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income.

FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2014
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes deposits held at call with a
bank or financial institution with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents are short-term highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of decrease in
value. For the purpose of Statement of Financial Position, cash and cash equivalents comprises cash at banks,
including term deposits, and assets similar in nature to cash, which are not restricted as to use. Cash is held with an
affiliate of the Administrator.
Bank overdrafts
All bank overdraft balances are recognised as liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position and are held with an
affiliate of the Administrator.
Expenses
All expenses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis.
Futures
Futures are contracts for delayed delivery of currency, commodities, securities or money market instruments in
which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date of a specified commodity or instrument, at a
specified price or yield. Gains and losses on futures are recorded by the Company based upon market fluctuations
and are recorded as realised or unrealised gains or losses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Forward foreign currency contracts
Forward foreign currency contracts are commitments either to purchase or sell a designated currency at a specified
future date for a specified price and may be settled in cash. Forward foreign currency contracts may be entered into
in order to protect the Company against adverse movement in the value of the functional currency or for the
speculative aim of enhancing return. All commitments are marked to market at the applicable translation rates and
any resulting unrealised gains or losses are recorded in the Statement of Financial Position. The Company records
realised gains or losses upon closing of the forward foreign currency contracts.
Where the Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange risk for
specific share classes, gains or losses from these contracts are allocated solely to the corresponding share classes.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same notional value, settlement date and
counterparty (which result in a net foreign currency position of zero with the counterparty) are generally offset and
considered “offset forward currency contracts” and any realised gains or losses are recognised on settlement date.
Forward foreign currency contracts result in credit exposure to the counterparty.
The fair value of non-exchange traded derivatives is estimated based on the amount that the Company would receive
or pay to terminate the contract at the year end date, taking into account current market conditions (volatility,
appropriate yield curve) and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties.
The fair value of a forward foreign currency contract is determined as the net present value of estimated future cash
flows, discounted at appropriate market rates on the valuation date.
Investment income and expense
Interest income and interest expense are recognised on an accruals basis in line with the contractual terms. Interest is
accrued on a daily basis.

Redeemable participating shares
Redeemable participating shares are redeemable at the shareholder’s option.
The Company has non-participating shares in issue that are classified as ‘equity’ in accordance with IFRS.
The redeemable participating shares do not represent the most ‘subordinate’ class of instrument and are classified as
financial liabilities. Redeemable participating shares have priority over other claims to the assets of the entity on
liquidation.
The redeemable participating shares can be put back to the Company on any dealing day for cash equal to a
proportionate share of the Company’s net asset value.
Each Sub-Fund provides its shareholders with the right to redeem their interest in the Sub-Fund at any dealing date
for cash equal to their proportionate share of the net asset value of that segregated portfolio. Under the amendments
to IAS 32, this right represents in substance a liability of the Sub-Fund to shareholders.
The Company’s non-participating shares do not participate in the profits of the Company.
Dividend income
Dividends are credited to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on the dates on which the relevant securities are
listed as “ex-dividend”. Income is shown gross of any non-recoverable withholding taxes and net of any tax credits.

6. Fair Value Hierarchy
IFRS 7 “Financial instruments – Disclosures” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritises the inputs to
valuation techniques to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs
(Level 3 measurement). Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the
following fair value hierarchy levels based on the significance of the inputs used in measuring its fair value:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical,
unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are
observable, either directly or indirectly. Fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation
methodologies;
Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are
unobservable. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and
reflect the Company’s own assumptions about how market participants would be expected to value the asset or
liability.
An investment is always categorised as Level 1, 2 or 3 in its entirety. In certain cases, the fair value measurement for
an investment may use a number of different inputs that fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such
cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to
the fair value measurement.
The Sub-Fund’s financial instruments are measured at fair value and it is usually possible to determine their fair
values within a reasonable range of estimates. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on
market conditions and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and
involve uncertainties that may require significant judgement (e.g., interest rates, volatility, estimated cash flows etc.)
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The following table presents the financial instruments carried on the Statement of Financial Position by caption and
by level within the valuation hierarchy as at 31 March 2014.

The transfer from level 1 to level 2 was the result of one equity security. This transfer was due to the primary
exchange not being active on a daily basis. As a result the inputs used are those from an active secondary exchange.
There were no transfers within the Yacktman Fund or the Helicon Fund for the year ended 30 September 2013.

10. Soft commissions
During the period/year ended 31 March 2014 and 30 September 2013, the Investment Manager and the SubInvestment Manager entered into soft commission arrangements with brokers in respect of which certain goods and
services used to support the investment decision process were received. The Investment Manager, the SubInvestment Managers and their respective connected persons do not make direct payments for these services but do
transact business with the brokers on behalf of the Sub-Funds, and commissions are paid on these transactions.
Under these agreements, each broker has agreed to provide best execution. These services assist the Investment
Manager and the Sub-Investment Managers in carrying out their investment decision-making responsibilities in
respect of the relevant Sub-Funds.
During the period/year ended 31 March 2014 and 30 September 2013, OFI Global Institutional Inc (“OFI”) did not
participate in any soft commission arrangements for the Sub-Funds to which OFI act as Sub-Investment Manager.
11. Cross liability
The Company is structured as an umbrella fund with segregated liability between the Sub-Funds.
Each Sub-Fund therefore will be treated as bearing its own liabilities and the Company will not be liable as a whole
to third parties provided, however, if the Directors are of the opinion that a particular liability does not relate to any
particular Sub-Fund or Sub-Funds, that liability will be borne jointly by all Sub-Funds pro rata to their respective net
asset values at the time when the allocation is made.
Certain jurisdictions, however, other than Ireland, might not recognise such limited right of recourse inherent in the
Company’s segregated structure. In such a case, creditors of a particular Sub-Fund could have recourse to assets of
other Sub-Funds within the Company at the date of the authorisation of the Financial Statements. The Directors are
not aware of any such existing or contingent liability.
12. Post period end events
The Company is due to launch two new Sub-Funds, the Oppenheimer Developing Markets Equity SRI Fund and
Harvest China A Shares Equity Fund, in the second quarter of 2014.
There were no other post period end events that would impact these Financial Statements.
13. Approval of the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors approved the Financial Statements on 22 May 2014.
