Basis for the valuation and calculation of the net asset value1. The net asset value of the fund is calculated in Swiss francs at the

market value as at the end of the financial year and for each day onwhich units are issued or redeemed. No valuation of the fund assetsshall be conducted on days on which the exchanges or markets in thefund's main investment countries are closed (e.g. bank and exchangeholidays).

2. Securities traded on a stock exchange or another regulated marketopen to the public shall be valued at the current prices paid on themain market. Other investments or investments for which no currentmarket value is available shall be valued at the price which wouldprobably be obtained in a prudent sale at the time of the valuation. Insuch cases, the fund management company will use appropriatevaluation models and principles recognised in practice to determine themarket value.

3. Open-ended collective investments are valued at their redemptionprice/net asset value. If they are regularly traded on a stock exchangeor another regulated market open to the public, the fund managementcompany can value such funds in accordance with Para. 2 above.

4. The value of money market instruments that are not traded on a stockexchange or another regulated market open to the public isdetermined as follows: Based on the net asset value, with the ensuinginvestment returns remaining constant, the valuation price of suchinvestments is gradually adjusted to the redemption price. If there aresignificant changes in market conditions, the valuation basis for theindividual investments will be adjusted in line with the new marketyields. If there is no current market price in such instances, thecalculations are as a rule based on the valuation of money marketinstruments with the same characteristics (quality and domicile of theissuer, issuing currency, term to maturity).

5. Bank deposits are valued on the basis of the amount due plus accruedinterest. If there are significant changes in market conditions or thecredit rating, the valuation basis for time deposits will be adjusted inline with the new conditions.

6. The net asset value of a unit is determined by the market value of thefund's assets, minus all this fund's liabilities, divided by the number ofunits in circulation. It will be rounded to the nearest CHF 0.01.

Auditor's short report

As statutory auditors, we have audited the attached annual reports ofthe investment fund

zCapital with the sub-funds

- Swiss Dividend Fund- Swiss Small & Mid Cap Fund

comprising the statements of assets and the statements of income,information on the appropriation of income and the disclosure of costsas well as other information pursuant to Art. 89 Para. 1 (b-h) of theSwiss Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA) for the financial yearended November 30, 2014.

Responsibility of the Board of Directors of the fund managementcompanyThe Board of Directors of the fund management company isresponsible for preparing the annual financial statements inaccordance with the Swiss Collective Investment Schemes Act, theaccompanying regulations and the fund contract and prospectus. Thisresponsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance ofan internal control system with respect to the preparation of annualfinancial statements which are free of material misstatement, whetherdue to infringements or error. The Board of Directors of the fundmanagement company is further responsible for selecting and applyingappropriate accounting policies and making suitable estimates.

Statutory auditor's responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on the annual reports basedon our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss lawand Swiss auditing standards. These standards require that we planand perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whetherthe annual reports are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidenceabout the amounts and other disclosures in the annual reports. Theprocedures selected depend on the auditor's professional judgement,including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement in theannual reports, whether due to fraud or error. In assessing those risks,the auditor considers the internal control system insofar as it is relevantto the preparation of the annual financial statements in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate to the circumstances, but not forthe purpose of expressing an opinion on the existence andeffectiveness of the internal control system. An audit also involvesevaluating the appropriateness of the accounting methods used andthe plausibility of the estimates made as well as evaluating the overallpresentation of the annual reports. We believe that the audit evidencewe have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour audit opinion.

OpinionIn our opinion, the annual reports for the financial year endedNovember 30, 2014 comply with the Swiss Collective InvestmentScheme Act and corresponding ordinances, as well as the fundcontract and prospectus.

Reporting to comply with further statutory provisions

We confirm that we have fulfilled the statutory requirements withrespect to accreditation under the Audit Oversight Act (AOA) and toindependence (Art. 11 AOA), and that there are no issues that mayconflict with our independence.
