5. MODIFICATION OF THE MANUAL The coding and openings established in this Manual must be respected in their entirety; therefore, no new elements, items, accounts, primary sub-accounts, secondary sub-accounts, and sub-sub-accounts different from those already established may be opened. Analytical sub-sub-accounts may be added after the ninth (9th) digit, provided they correspond to the nature of the account from which they originate and to the degree and detail they consider necessary for better recording and control of their operations. When an operation or transaction originates that is not foreseen in this Manual, the Funds must communicate this to the Central Bank and the Superintendence, attaching the accounting criteria they intend to use as well as the accounts to be used, describing the transaction or event, indicating its quantitative impact on the Financial Statements and the reasons that, in the judgment of the competent administrative body, justify the proposed treatment. Such communication will be sent physically or by email duly signed by the responsible persons. The Superintendence will analyze what is proposed and if the operation refers to a matter of application of the Accounting Manual, it will give a diligent response, sending a copy to the Central Bank; and if it is a matter of modification of the Manual, the proposed accounting application, if appropriate, will be approved by the Committee of Standards of the Central Bank. Prior to the agreement of the Committee of Standards, the Fund must account for the operation or proposal to be modified, and when the Central Bank agrees to approve the change to the Manual, the Fund must make the necessary adjustments, transferring the transaction from the account in which it was temporarily accounted to the corresponding approved one.

11. REGISTRATION AND ARCHIVING OF ACCOUNTING DOCUMENTATION The operations registered in the books listed in item 9.1 of these Norms must be backed by the corresponding documentation and comply with what is established in the Commercial Code. Such operations will be entered as they are carried out, this without prejudice to the sanctions, fines, and others that the Manager may incur for such delays in accordance with applicable legal norms. The Fund must archive the documentation that backs its operations, in chronological order, including the Financial Statements prepared monthly and the Trial Balances. The Fund is obliged to conserve its records in general as well as its Financial Statements, according to the deadlines established in articles 451 and 455 of the Commercial Code.

12. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF ACCOUNTING

Accounting will be governed according to the following precedence: a) Salvadoran legislation that establishes specific accounting treatments; b) Accounting Standards issued by the Standards Committee of the Central Bank; and c) International Financial Reporting Standards, provided that they develop topics for which there is no Salvadoran regulation. When the Fund applies International Financial Reporting Standards, it will use those issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB, in English), translated into Spanish, in accordance with what is established in letter c) of this item. When International Financial Reporting Standards provide different treatments for the same economic event, the Fund will use the most prudent treatment among those established in said Standards.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 15 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016 Accounting will be developed applying the accounting criteria and fundamental characteristics indicated below:

12.1. Fair Presentation The Financial Statements must be drafted clearly, such that the information provided is understandable and useful for users in making their economic decisions, and must represent the fair view of the equity, the financial situation, and the comprehensive results of the Fund, in accordance with legal and regulatory provisions. The systematic and regular application of the requirements, principles, and accounting criteria included in the following subsections must lead to the Financial Statements representing the fair view of the equity, the financial situation, and the results of the Fund. To this effect, in the accounting of operations, attention will be paid to their economic reality and not only to their legal form. When it is considered that compliance with the requirements, principles, and accounting criteria included in this Manual is not sufficient to show the aforementioned fair view, the precise complementary information will be provided in the notes to the Financial Statements to achieve this objective. In those exceptional cases where such compliance would be incompatible with the fair view that the Financial Statements must provide, such application will be considered inappropriate. In such cases, in the notes to the Financial Statements, this circumstance will be sufficiently reasoned and its influence on the equity, the financial situation, and the results of the Fund will be explained.

12.2. Requirements of the Information to be Included in the Financial Statements The information included in the Financial Statements must be relevant and reliable. Information is relevant when it is useful for making economic decisions, that is, when it helps to evaluate past, present, or future events, or to confirm or correct evaluations made previously. In particular, to meet this requirement, the Financial Statements must adequately show the risks to which the Fund is exposed. Information is reliable when it is free of material errors and is neutral, that is, it is free of bias and users can trust that it is the fair view of what it intends to represent.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 16 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016 A quality derived from reliability is completeness, which is achieved when financial information contains, in a complete manner, all data that can influence decision-making, without any omission of significant information. Additionally, financial information must comply with the qualities of comparability and clarity. Comparability is the quality that financial information has to be able to compare it over time. Information will be formulated with related criteria of identification, valuation, registration, and presentation that allow the possibility of comparing the financial situation, the results achieved, and the compliance with legal provisions of the Fund in different periods or with other similar Funds, in order to facilitate the analysis, evaluation, supervision, and audit of management and adequate accountability. For its part, clarity implies that, based on a reasonable knowledge of economic activities, accounting, and corporate finance, users of the Financial Statements, through a diligent examination of the information provided, can form judgments that facilitate decision-making.

12.3. Accounting Principles The accounting of the Fund and, in particular, the registration and valuation of the elements of the Financial Statements, will be developed by obligatorily applying the accounting principles and fundamental hypotheses indicated below.

12.3.1. Going Concern The management of Open Investment Funds will be considered indefinite. The Financial Statements must be prepared from the going concern hypothesis. Consequently, the application of accounting principles will not be aimed at determining the value of equity for purposes of its global or partial alienation nor the resulting amount in case of liquidation. If the Financial Statements are not prepared on the basis of going concern as is the case of Closed Investment Funds, such circumstance must be revealed along with the alternative criteria that have been used and the reasons why such Funds are not considered as a going concern. Such revelation will also take into account what is provided in the Technical Standards issued on the merger and liquidation of Investment Funds.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 17 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016

12.3.2. Accrual The effects of transactions or economic events will be recorded when they occur, attributing to the exercise to which the Financial Statements refer, the expenses and income that affect it, regardless of the date of their payment or collection. In the case of Open Investment Funds, the effects of the aforementioned transactions must be recognized daily.

12.3.3. Uniformity Once a criterion is adopted in the application of Accounting Principles within the alternatives that, if any, allow it, it must be maintained over time as long as the assumptions that motivated the choice of said criterion are not altered. If for justified cause these change, the affected Financial Statements will be accompanied by an explanatory note that allows appreciating the origin of the new criteria and their quantitative and qualitative effect on equity, results, and total assets. Likewise, such changes and their effects will be recorded in the notes to the Financial Statements.

12.3.4. Prudence It will prevail over any other principle in case of conflict. One must be prudent in the estimates and valuations to be made under conditions of uncertainty. Prudence does not justify that the valuation of equity elements does not respond to the fair view that the Financial Statements must reflect. Likewise, benefits obtained up to the closing date of the exercise will be accounted for. On the contrary, all risks, originating in the exercise or in a previous one, must be taken into account as soon as they are known, even if they are only known between the closing date of the annual Financial Statements and the date on which they are formulated. In such cases, full information will be given in the notes to the Financial Statements, without prejudice to its reflection, when a liability and an expense have been generated, in other documents comprising the annual Financial Statements. Consequently, it is necessary to include a certain degree of caution in the exercise of judgments necessary to make the estimates required under conditions of uncertainty. Amortizations and value corrections for impairment of assets must be taken into account, whether the exercise closes with a profit or a loss.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 18 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016 Exceptionally, if risks were known between the preparation and before the approval of the Financial Statements and significantly affect the fair view, the Financial Statements must be prepared again.

12.3.5. Non-Compensation In no case can the items of assets and liabilities of the General Balance Sheet, nor those of expenses and income of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, be offset, unless specifically allowed or required by International Financial Reporting Standards, which must be reported to the Superintendence. When this happens, it must be revealed in a note to the Financial Statements.

12.3.6. Materiality Each item that possesses sufficient relative importance must be presented separately in the Financial Statements. Items of insignificant amounts must appear grouped with others of similar nature or function, provided that they do not have to be presented separately. The strict application of some of the accounting principles and criteria will be admitted when the relative importance in quantitative or qualitative terms of the variation that such fact produces is not significant and, consequently, does not alter the expression of the fair view. In cases of conflict between accounting principles, the one that best leads to the Financial Statements expressing the fair view of the equity, the financial situation, and the comprehensive results of the Fund shall prevail.

CHAPTER II ACCOUNTING FRAMEWORK

SECTION 1 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

1. OBJECTIVE This Section aims to establish the specific elements that help identify whether a financial asset meets the conditions to be presented in the Balance Sheet as cash or cash equivalents.

2. SCOPE This section applies to financial items that the Fund presents in its Balance Sheet, as cash and cash equivalents.

3. DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this Section, by cash and cash equivalents, the following will be understood: a) Cash: cash on hand and demand bank deposits; and b) Cash Equivalents: short-term investments of high liquidity that are easily convertible into determined amounts of cash, are used to meet payment commitments, and have an insignificant risk of changes in their value. Their maturity is less than or equal to ninety (90) calendar days from the date of acquisition. The criteria that define cash equivalents are the following: a) The investments are short-term; b) They are investments of high liquidity; c) They are easily convertible into determined amounts of cash; d) They are subject to a little significant risk of changes in their value; and e) Financial instruments are held to meet short-term payment commitments rather than for investment purposes.

4. RECOGNITION Cash and cash equivalent items will be recognized by the Fund

5. MEASUREMENT Cash will be measured at the date of its initial recognition at its fair value, that is, its cash amount received and subsequently, at its amortized cost, understood as the initial amount plus yields minus amortizations, minus charges for services or others that apply and that affect the initially recognized amount either by increasing or decreasing it.

Cash equivalents will be measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of those that are subsequently measured at amortized cost, the transaction costs incurred on the date of their acquisition.

(503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 19 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016 Subsequently, they will be measured based on amortized cost or fair value whichever applies, taking into consideration the business model established by the administration for such instruments and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. For its part, financial items denominated in a foreign currency are converted at the prevailing buying exchange rate on the date of the Financial Statements. A foreign currency will be understood as a currency different from the Fund's business currency.

6. PRESENTATION Cash and cash equivalents are presented by their amounts that represent their fair values or amortized costs, depending on the measurement applied to them.

SECTION 2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

1. OBJECTIVE This Section aims to establish the financial criteria to be applied for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of investments in financial instruments, both financial assets and financial liabilities.

2. SCOPE This Section applies to investments in financial instruments other than: a) Financial derivative instruments; b) Rights and obligations arising from lease contracts; and c) Rights and obligations arising from an insurance contract.

3. DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this Section, the terms indicated below have the following meaning: a) Financial Assets: Any asset that is cash, an equity instrument of another enterprise, or implies a right to receive cash or another financial asset; or to exchange financial assets and liabilities with third parties under favorable conditions and any contract that can be settled with equity instruments; b) Conventional Purchase or Sale of a Financial Asset: Is the purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract or agreement, whose terms require

its delivery within the time established generally by regulation or convention in the relevant market where the transaction has taken place. The settlements of these contracts or agreements will be carried out gross, not allowing nor requiring the net settlement of the change in value in the contract; c) Amortized Cost of a Financial Asset or a Financial Liability: It is the initial measure of such asset or liability less principal repayments, plus or minus the accumulated amortization -calculated using the effective interest rate method- of any difference between the initial amount and the redemption value at maturity, less any impairment loss or uncollectibility that has been recognized directly or through the use of a contra account; d) Financial Instrument: It is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset in one entity and to a financial liability or an equity instrument in another entity; e) Trade Date Method: It is a method that consists of recognizing or derecognizing a financial asset on the date that the Fund agrees to buy or sell it; f) Effective Interest Rate Method: It is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability or a group of financial assets or financial liabilities and of allocating financial income or expense over the relevant period; g) Financial Liability: It is any liability that involves a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset; or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with third parties under conditions that are potentially unfavorable; and any contract that may be settled with equity instruments; h) Continuing Involvement in Assets: If a Fund does not transfer or retain substantially all the risks and rewards inherent in the ownership of a transferred asset and retains control over it, it will continue to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement; i) Effective Interest Rate: It is the discount rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial instrument, based on its contractual terms and without considering future credit loss risks; j) Orderly, Arranged, or Organized Transaction: It is a transaction that assumes market exposures for a period prior to the measurement date, including usual and customary trading activities for transactions that incorporate such assets or liabilities. The foregoing does not refer to a forced transaction, such as a forced liquidation or a sale under financial difficulties; and

k) Fair Value: It is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, individuals who participate freely and independently, on the measurement date.

4. INITIAL RECOGNITION The Fund will recognize a financial asset or a financial liability in its Balance Sheet only when it becomes part of the contractual conditions of the instrument. Conventional purchases or sales of financial assets will be recognized applying the trade date method.

5. RECOGNITION OF THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT APPLYING THE TRADE DATE METHOD The trade date method requires that the Fund apply the following: a) In the case of a purchase, to recognize the asset to be received and the liability to be paid for it on the trade date; and b) In the case of a sale, to remove the sold asset against the corresponding receivable account and recognize the gain or loss on the disposed asset on the trade date. Changes in the fair value of a financial asset that is sold conventionally are not recorded in the Financial Statements between the trade date and the settlement date because the seller's right regarding changes in fair value ceases on the trade date. In the case of a purchase, interest does not begin to accrue or be earned on the acquired asset and the corresponding liability until the settlement date, when the title is transferred, and in the case of a sale, interest stops accruing until the settlement date. For the case of investments in Repos, the Fund will begin to accrue interest on them from the date of their settlement, that is, from the day the Fund makes the payment for the investment.

6. CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 23 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016

6.1. Financial Assets Funds must classify their financial assets on the date they first recognize them, taking into account the following: a) The basis or objective of the business model for managing financial assets; and b) The characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset. Having determined the above, the Fund will classify financial assets, according to their subsequent measurement at fair value, the latter taken from any of the sources established in paragraph 10 of this Section.

6.2. Classification of Financial Liabilities The Fund must classify its financial liabilities, when first recognized, as measured subsequently at amortized cost, applying the effective interest rate method, except for the following financial liabilities: a) Financial liabilities classified mandatorily at fair value with changes in results, which after their initial measurement will be measured at their fair value; b) Financial liabilities that originate when the transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition, which will be recognized for an amount equal to the consideration received; and c) Financial liabilities that originate from the continuing involvement in assets, which will be measured on the basis that reflects the obligations that the Fund has retained or assumed. The associated liability is measured in such a way that the net amount of the transferred asset and the net amount of the associated liability are equal to the fair value of the rights and obligations retained by the Fund, when measured independently, if the transferred asset is measured at fair value.

7. INITIAL MEASUREMENT When a financial asset or a financial liability is initially recognized, they will be measured at their fair value. In the case that the subsequent recognition of such financial liabilities is not measured at fair value with changes in results, the following will apply: When the subsequent measurement of the financial liability is at amortized cost, transaction costs directly related to the issuance or assumption of the financial liability will be subtracted from it.

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 24 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016

If it turns out that the fair value of the acquired financial asset or financial liability differs from the transaction price, then the Fund will proceed to recognize the difference between the fair value on the date of its initial recognition and the transaction price in the following manner: a) If that fair value is obtained with a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability or is based on methodologies that use only observable market data, the Fund will recognize the difference as a gain or loss; and b) In other cases, to defer the difference between the fair value at the moment of initial recognition and the transaction price. After initial recognition, the Fund will recognize that deferred difference as a gain or loss only to the extent that it arises from a change in a factor, including time, that market participants would take into account when setting the price of the asset or liability.

8. SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS Financial assets that are measured subsequently at fair value after recognition must be classified as financial assets held for trading, which comprises values acquired and managed within a business model that reflects active and frequent purchases and sales, whose purpose is to generate profits in the short term from price fluctuations or from trading margins. The effects of the change in fair value are taken directly to results.

9. SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities will be carried out as defined in paragraph 7 of this Section.

10. OBTAINING FAIR VALUE For the purposes of establishing the measurement of financial instruments, the Fund must obtain the respective prices from the following sources: a) In the case of financial instruments from local issuers, the prices provided by a specialized agent in securities valuation; b) In the case of financial instruments from foreign issuers, the prices provided by a specialized agent in securities valuation or an international stock or financial information system recognized by the Superintendency; and

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 25 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016

c) Regarding financial instruments whose prices cannot be obtained from any of the sources cited above, the Fund may define its own methodology for the valuation of said instruments, which must be available at any time for the Superintendency. For the purposes of recognition of international stock or financial information systems, this will be carried out in accordance with the Technical Standards that the Standards Committee of the Central Bank issues for such effect.

11. DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS The Fund must derecognize a financial asset or a portion of it, when the contractual rights to cash flow expire or the financial asset is transferred and the transfer meets the requirements for derecognition. It will be considered that the Fund has transferred a financial asset if it has transferred the contractual rights to receive cash flows from a financial asset, but assumes the contractual obligation to pay them to one or more buyers of the transferred asset. In the latter case, it will be assumed that the Fund has transferred the asset if the following three conditions are met: a) The Fund is not obligated to pay any amount to eventual buyers, unless it collects equivalent amounts from the original asset. Short-term advances made by the Fund, with the right to full recovery of the amount plus interest accrued at market rates, do not violate this condition; b) The Fund is prohibited, according to the conditions of the transfer contract, from selling or pledging the original asset, except as collateral for payment of the cash flows committed to the eventual buyers; and c) The Fund is obligated to remit without significant delay any cash flow that it collects on behalf of the eventual buyers. In addition, the Fund is not authorized to reinvest the cash flows. Upon derecognizing a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the book amount determined on the date the financial asset is derecognized and the sum of the benefits received including any new financial asset obtained less any new liability assumed will be recognized in the results. If the transferred asset is part of a larger financial asset, and the transferred part meets the requirements for derecognition in its entirety, the original book amount of the larger financial asset will be distributed between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that has been derecognized, based on the relative fair values of said parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the following will be recognized in the period's result: a) The book amount measured on the date of derecognition attributable to the part that has been derecognized; and b) The consideration received for the part derecognized including the new assets obtained less the new liabilities assumed.

relatives of said parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the following will be recognized in the period's result: a) The book amount measured on the date of derecognition attributable to the part that has been derecognized; and b) The consideration received for the part derecognized including the new assets obtained less the new liabilities assumed.

12. FINANCIAL ASSETS MANAGED UNDER A BUSINESS MODEL OF FREQUENT PURCHASES AND SALES

12.1. Special Conditions Financial assets under a business model that reflects frequent purchases and sales and whose purpose is to generate profits in the short term from price fluctuations or from trading margins, must meet the basic requirements described below: a) There must be a clearly documented trading strategy for the securities, approved by the competent authority, in accordance with the Fund's policies; b) There must be clearly defined policies and procedures for the active management of the position, to ensure that: i. Positions are managed by a trading team; ii. Limits are set on positions and monitored to check their adequacy; and iii. The personnel in charge of trading must have autonomy to take or manage positions within the agreed limits and respecting the agreed strategy. c) Positions must be valued daily, consequently the classifications of financial assets in this model require that they have price quotes in an active market; d) The Fund must indicate which of the sources provided in paragraph 10 is the provider of the market price and in case that the same source provides a diversity of prices on the same instrument, the Fund must indicate which of the available prices it has taken; e) The Fund must include in its risk management policy the sources provided in paragraph 10, the one that applies, for the determination of prices of its investment portfolio. In the case that the same source used provides various prices for the same instrument, the Fund must define, within the indicated policies, the prices that

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 27 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016

it will use to establish the value of the portfolio and the reasons that have defined such selection; f) The Fund will incorporate into its financial or risk management policies the criteria that will define whether a price fluctuation in the market is normal or not; g) The Surveillance Committee will be informed of the positions held as an integral part of the Fund's risk management process, as well as the risk to which the Fund is exposed equally by the positions taken; h) Active monitoring of positions with reference to market information sources will be carried out; and i) Monitoring of the volume of operations and of the expired positions in the Fund's trading portfolio will be carried out.

12.2. Recording Changes in Fair Value Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value must be included in the net gain or loss of the period. Book applications must be carried out daily for the case of Open Investment Funds; said recording for the Closed Investment Fund will be carried out on each Balance Sheet date or monthly, whichever occurs first. When the aforementioned changes occur, the Fund must separate said changes from those corresponding to credit risk and from those corresponding to other risks.

12.3. Exchange Differences Gains or losses arising from differences in exchange rates on monetary or non-monetary financial assets and that are denominated in foreign currency and that have not been designated as risk management instruments in a cash flow hedge or in a net investment hedge, will be recognized in the period's results.

13. PRESENTATION Items will be presented according to their economic form rather than their legal form and for identification they are grouped into the concepts enabled for their registration within the chart of accounts developed for such purpose. An asset and a financial liability must be subject to offsetting, so that their net amount is presented in the Balance Sheet, only when the Fund:

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 28 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016

a) Has, at the present moment, the right, legally enforceable, to offset the recognized amounts; and b) Has the intention to settle by the net amount, or to realize the asset and cancel the liability simultaneously. In the accounting of a transfer of a financial asset that does not meet the conditions for its derecognition, the Fund will not offset the transferred asset with the associated liability.

SECTION 3 FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

1. OBJECTIVE This Section aims to establish the accounting criteria to be applied for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial derivative instrument contracts that the Fund acquires, which have as their exclusive object the hedging of their risks through accounting hedge.

2. SCOPE Applies to contracts of financial derivative instruments that are acquired whose underlying assets are interest rate, exchange rate, debt financial instruments, equity instrument, among others. The basic financial derivative instruments mentioned are not a complete list of the many instruments that exist in the market, and that could be used to comply with what is stipulated in this Section are, for example: a) Forward contracts; b) Futures contracts; c) Basic options contracts; and d) Financial swap contracts or Interest Rate or Currency Swaps. In addition, these instruments are acquired for the purpose of hedging financial risks; it being foreseen that they, on the retrospective evaluation dates applied to them, have the probability of ceasing to meet the essential requirements for designation as a financial risk hedge item, the foregoing will not mean that said items are withdrawn from the scope of this Section.

3. DEFINITION A derivative is a financial instrument that presents the following characteristics:

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 29 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016

a) Its value changes in response to changes in an observable market variable, such as the interest rate, the exchange rate, the price of a financial instrument or a market index, including credit ratings; b) Its net initial investment is null or very small in relation to other contracts with similar response to changes in market conditions; and c) It is settled on a future date.

4. BASIC CRITERIA TO BE OBSERVED WHEN ACQUIRING FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Fund must enter into a negotiation of financial derivative instruments only if it has expertise on the functioning of the instruments and has trained personnel and adequate systems for their recognition, valuation, measurement, and capacity to ensure compliance with the criterion taken to value the instrument to be acquired. The verification of the valuations of the instruments must be carried out by the Fund acquiring the same. To ensure compliance with this criterion, what is established in the previous paragraph must be met, in such a way that the price provided by the entity issuing the instrument can be verified internally through the application of independent financial tools. Financial derivative instruments must be acquired solely for the hedging of financial risks and Funds must implement strict risk management policies that expressly indicate the types of instruments that will be contracted in accordance with what is provided in this Section and for what purposes the same will be acquired, which cannot be for purposes other than the mitigation of their assumed risks. Financial derivative instruments must be acquired only if the Fund proves that the risk exposure intended to be covered is appropriately compensated by the value changes of the intended hedge item for the purposes of its risk management. The Fund must establish a methodology that allows it to develop the relevant evaluation, through which to conclude whether the intended operation meets or does not meet the hedging objectives. Such methodology will be available to the Superintendency for verification of its compliance.

5. RECOGNITION

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 30 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016

The Fund must recognize the contract of a financial derivative instrument on the date it becomes part of the contractual agreements of the acquired instrument. On the contract date, the Fund will recognize either a financial asset or a financial liability, the amount of which will be subject to the conditions under which the transaction was contracted.

Generally, on the recognition date, the value of these contracts will be zero unless the transaction corresponds to a derivative that gives rise to an option or the originated contract has been acquired under conditions within the stock market or an over-the-counter (OTC) market, according to the underlying fixed to establish the value of the instrument.

6. INITIAL MEASUREMENT Contracts of financial derivative instruments will be initially measured at their fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, will be the transaction price. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of these instruments will be applied to the

The nominal amount of these contracts, when it exists, or the amount established to measure the costs or benefits to be paid or received by the transaction, must be incorporated from the contract date into off-balance sheet accounts known as order accounts, established for such purposes.

7. SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT The contract will be subsequently measured at its fair value, which will be established by the Fund acquiring the instrument, considering for this purpose: a) The use of valuation models that use as a source the basic inputs that are appropriate for the type of instrument being valued; or b) According to market practice where they are issued or according to the practice developed by the Fund, which must demonstrate that it is at least equal to or more conservative than that originated by the issuer of the contract.

In the case that the derivative instrument has been acquired in an over-the-counter market, the Fund must submit to the Superintendency the methodology applied to establish the fair value for verification and inform whenever it is modified.

Such methodology must contain the relevant detail that allows understanding of how the values affecting the Fund's Balance Sheet and results have been obtained and must be incorporated into its risk management policies. It

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 31 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016

will consider the lower price established between the issuer's price and the price determined by the Fund.

Prices of acquired products that are available in some of the sources cited in paragraph 10 of Section 2 of this Manual will be taken into consideration, and the source of information used to determine the fair value on the measurement date will be documented.

For these contracts, the frequency of measurement will be daily.

8. RECOGNITION OF INCOME AND/OR EXPENSES Value changes occurring between the previous measurement date and the current one, in financial derivative instruments, will affect the results of the period, either as an expense or as income, depending on the position of the instrument's price and the Fund's position within the contract, which could leave the Fund in a position of realized or unrealized losses or gains.

What is established in the first paragraph of this paragraph will be so always that the gains or losses are computed on financial derivative instruments measured at fair value with changes in results.

9. DE-RECOGNITION IN ACCOUNTS The Fund will de-recognize in accounts the fair values of financial derivative instruments on the date of termination of the contracts or on the date of exercise of the instrument, whichever occurs first. On the indicated dates, the Fund will pay or collect the pending amounts at its charge or in its favor or exercise the closed positions on that date, in the case where the transaction corresponds to a purchased option and it ends with intrinsic value.

When the Fund contracts a derivative for hedging its investments, it must ensure that when selling the underlying asset for which it contracts the hedge, it can realize or liquidate said derivative, according to what is established in this Manual.

10. PRESENTATION Financial derivative instruments will be presented in the General Balance Sheet, according to the rights and obligations they represent on the date of the Financial Statements.

Active and passive balances that have originated based on the behavior of the underlying assets used to establish the cost or benefit of such contracts will not be offset against each other.

SECTION 4 REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

1. OBJECTIVE This Section aims to regulate the recognition, measurement, and presentation of real estate investments in the Fund's Financial Statements.

2. SCOPE Applies to all transactions related to real estate investments, which include investment properties, assets held for sale, and assets under operating leases.

3. CRITERIA FOR ACCOUNTING OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

3.1. Recognition Investment Properties will be recognized as assets when and only when: a) It is probable that future economic benefits associated with such investment properties will flow to the Fund; and b) The cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Investment Properties are those held to obtain gains, capital appreciation, or both, instead of: a) Their use in the production or supply of goods or services; b) Use for administrative purposes; or c) Sale in the ordinary course of operations.

Investment Properties will be land and buildings considered in their entirety or in part. The location of these investments will be in the national territory in accordance with what is established in the Investment Funds Law.

3.2. Initial Measurement Investment Properties will be initially measured at acquisition cost plus direct transaction costs associated.

The acquisition cost will be established based on the appraisal of an expert registered with the Superintendency or other entities whose registration is recognized by it, plus or minus a prudential variation of 5% to 10%, a percentage that will be established in the Fund's Regulations, which will be validated by the external auditor.

Transaction costs of an Investment Property will include disbursements directly attributable to the Property and include, for example: professional fees for legal services, taxes for property transfer if applicable, and other costs associated with the transaction.

When expenditures are made to replace one or more components of the Investment Properties, these amounts will be included as part of the cost of the Investment Properties to be replaced, at the same time the component being replaced must be removed.

In the case of constructions and remodelings, if the Fund concludes that their fair value cannot be measured reliably, it will measure them by their cost temporarily until it can determine the fair value upon completing the constructions and remodelings.

3.3. Subsequent Measurement Subsequent to initial recognition, all real estate investments that the Closed Fund has available for sale will be measured applying the fair value model, until it has the same or well begins the transformation to sell it in the ordinary course of its activity.

For the determination of the fair value of Investment Properties, these must be valued by experts registered with the Superintendency, and these valuations will be made every thirty-six (36) months obligatorily. In case there are indications of impairment or changes in the market value of the asset, the aforementioned valuation may be carried out by the Fund each year.

Losses or gains derived from a change in the fair value of Investment Properties will be recorded in the results in the period in which they occur.

Compensations from third parties due to Investment Properties that have been lost or abandoned will be recognized in the period's results when such compensations are due.

3.4. Transfers and De-recognition in Accounts

Alameda Juan Pablo II, between 15 and 17 Av. Norte, San Salvador, El Salvador. Tel. (503) 2281-8000 www.bcr.gob.sv Page 33 of 112 CNBCR-05/2016 NDMC-08 ACCOUNTING MANUAL FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS Approval: 22/06/2016 Validity: 25/07/2016

Transfers to, or from, Investment Properties will be made when and only when, there is a change in their use, evidenced by the start of a development with the intention of sale or in the case of a transfer of an Investment Property to properties held for sale.

The loss or gain resulting from the withdrawal or sale of an Investment Property will be determined as the difference between the net income of the transaction and the book amount of the asset and will be recognized in the period's results in which such event, occurrence, activity, etc. takes place.

3.5. Presentation Investment Properties will be presented in the Balance Sheet, according to the rights they represent on the date of the Financial Statements under the item Non-Current Assets. Active and passive balances, income and costs will not be offset against each other.

4. CRITERIA FOR ACCOUNTING OF PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE

4.1. Recognition A property held for sale is an asset or group of assets over which the Fund has established a plan for its disposal or an asset that has been reclassified to this category.

For an Investment Property to be classified as held for sale, it must follow the following criteria: a) Its book value will be recovered mainly through a sale transaction; b) It must be available for immediate sale in its current condition, subject only to the usual terms for the sale of such assets; c) Its sale must be highly probable; and d) It must be actually sold according to the commitment acquired by the Fund in the sales plan developed.

4.2. Initial Measurement Before the reclassification of a property as held for sale, the book value of the asset must be valued according to the criteria applicable to said asset before the reclassification.

A Fund will apply its usual accounting policies until the criteria for classification as held for sale are met.

A Fund will measure properties held for sale at the lower of their book value or their fair value less costs to sell.

Long-term assets that the Fund acquires with the intention of selling them will be measured from their inception at fair value less their selling costs.

When the asset is acquired with the purpose of its subsequent alienation, the following criteria apply to recognize it as a property held for sale on the acquisition date if: a) The sale of the good is carried out within a one-year period to be considered as subject to a single exception that the delay is due to events or circumstances beyond the Fund's control; and b) Its alienation or disposal is highly probable and any other requirement contemplated to be available for immediate sale in the current conditions in which it is found and such alienation is subject only to the usual terms for the sale of such assets. If the sale is not carried out within the stipulated period, it must be alienated within the following three months and said asset cannot be abandoned.

An extension of the period required to complete the sale in a period greater than one year does not prevent the asset from being classified as held for sale, if the delay is caused by events or circumstances beyond the Fund's control and there is sufficient evidence that the Fund remains committed to its plan to sell the asset.

Consequently, the Fund will be exempted from applying the one-year requirement in the following situations: a) On the date the Fund commits to a plan to sell a long-term asset, there is a reasonable expectation that third parties other than the buyer will impose conditions on the transfer of the asset that will extend the period necessary to complete the sale; and additionally: i. The actions necessary to respond to those conditions cannot be initiated until after the firm purchase commitment has been obtained; and ii. A firm purchase commitment is highly probable within one year. b) The Fund obtains a firm purchase commitment and as a result, the buyer or other third parties have unexpectedly imposed conditions on the transfer of the long-term asset previously classified as held for sale, which will extend the period required to complete the sale and additionally: i. Necessary actions to respond to the imposed conditions have been taken in time; and ii. A favorable resolution of the factors causing the delay is expected. c) During the initial one-year period, circumstances arise that were previously considered improbable and as a result, the long-term asset previously classified as held for sale has not been sold at the end of that period and additionally: i. During the initial one-year period, the Fund undertook the necessary actions to respond to the change in circumstances; ii. The long-term assets are being actively marketed at a reasonable price, given the change in circumstances; and iii. The criteria established in the first and second paragraphs of letter a) are met.

4.3. Subsequent Measurement The measurement of assets that are integrated into this account will be as follows: a) Assets reclassified from a previous classification to this one: once the assets are reclassified, the Fund will measure them at the lower value established between the sum registered of the asset or fair value less selling costs, which may give rise to the recognition of impairment loss; b) Assets acquired with the intention of selling them: they will be measured at the lower value between the net fair value of disposal costs and the book value; and c) Non-current asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale: the Fund will measure the asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale or that ceases to be part of a group of assets in disposal classified as held for sale, at the lower of: i. Its book amount before the asset or group of assets in disposal was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation, amortization, or revaluation that would have been recognized if the asset or group of assets in disposal had not been classified as held for sale; and ii. Its recoverable amount on the date of the subsequent decision not to sell it.

If the asset is part of the cash-generating unit, its recoverable amount is the book amount that would have been recognized after the attribution of any impairment loss arising in said cash-generating unit, according to the impairment evaluation policy that the Fund applies internally or, in default, the applied international regulation.

Any gain or loss from the sale of an element of the properties held for sale, calculated as the difference between the profit obtained from the disposal and the book value of the element, is recognized in results.

Assets that are part of the properties held for sale are not depreciated.

4.4. Impairment and Reversal of Impairment Losses The subsequent measurement of properties held for sale may give rise to an impairment loss and presumably to its subsequent reversal. Impairment losses are recognized as expenses in the period in which they occur.

Any subsequent increase in the fair value less the costs of sale of an asset is recognized as a gain, with the limit of the amount of the previously recognized accumulated impairment loss.

4.5. Presentation The Fund will present the properties held for sale under the group of Real Estate Investments and will reveal information that allows users of the Financial Statements to evaluate the financial effects of the disposals of the properties held for sale.

5. CRITERIA FOR ACCOUNTING OF ASSETS UNDER OPERATING LEASES

5.1. Recognition An operating lease is one that does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of an asset.

5.2. Initial Measurement Income from operating leases will be recognized, excluding what is received for services such as insurance and maintenance, on a straight-line basis over the lease term, even if the charges are not perceived according to such basis.

Costs incurred in obtaining income from operating leases will be recognized as expenses.

Initial direct costs, incurred by the Closed Investment Fund in the negotiation and contracting of an operating lease, will be added to the book amount of the leased asset and will be recognized as an expense over the lease term, on the same basis as the lease income.

5.3. Subsequent Measurement Initial direct costs, incurred in the negotiation and contracting of an operating lease, will be added to the book amount of the leased asset and will be recognized as an expense over the lease term, on the same basis as the lease income.

5.4. Presentation Properties under operating lease will be presented in the asset in the account

previous due to one of the purposes of the Closed Fund with its assets being to generate income from its lease.

6. CRITERIA FOR ACCOUNTING OF CONSTRUCTION AND REMODELING

When real estate is acquired on which the Fund carries out constructions or remodelings for subsequent disposal or obtaining of rents or capital gains, these will be initially recognized at the cost of construction or remodeling.

The cost of constructions and remodelings includes the following: a) The cost of materials and direct labor; b) Any other cost directly attributable to the process of making the asset ready for work for its intended use; and c) Costs for capitalized loans.

When parts of a batch of a real estate property have different useful lives, they will be registered as separate items of important components of investment properties.

7. IMPROVEMENTS AND/OR REPAIRS TO REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Subsequent disbursements after the initial recognition of investment properties and properties held for sale are capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits related to the disbursement will flow to the Fund.

Repairs and continuous maintenance are recorded as expenses and will be recognized in the Comprehensive Income Statement when incurred.

SECTION 5 SPECIFIC TREATMENTS DEFINED FOR THE PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. OBJECTIVE This Section aims to establish the method of presentation of the Financial Statements.

2. SCOPE Establishes the methods that must be applied by the Fund for the presentation of the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, and the Statement of Cash Flows.

3. PRESENTATION OF ELEMENTS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT INTEGRATE THE STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

The presentation refers to the way of incorporating accounting information into the Financial Statements in such a way that said incorporation is uniform period after period, reliable and relevant for a better reading and interpretation of the different elements of the Financial Statements. Below, the models or methods defined for the presentation of the elements of the Financial Statements are detailed:

Financial Statement	Presentation Method	Reasoning
General Balance Sheet	Assets and liabilities will be presented according to their term type, separating them into current or non-current.	This presentation method takes into account the ease of conversion into cash of assets and the exigibility of the payment of liabilities, regardless of whether they are current or non-current. The use of this method is considered appropriate for Funds, because information on expected dates of realization of assets and exigibility of liabilities is useful to evaluate the liquidity and solvency of Funds and is considered to provide more relevant reliable information. Adopting this method does not exempt Funds from disclosing the amounts expected to be recovered or settled within a period less than or equal to one year after the date of the reported period and those that will be recovered in a period greater than one year after the date of the reported period.
Statement of Comprehensive Income	Expenses will be accounted for applying the Method of the Nature of Expenses and disclosing additional items that are considered necessary for the adequate understanding of the financial performance of the Fund.	Taking into consideration the nature of Funds, the method of presentation of expenses by nature is considered to provide a reliable and more relevant presentation, as it provides useful information on expenses that are materially representative of Funds, while it can be easier to apply; it is complemented with a detail of expenses that contribute to a better understanding of the financial performance of the Fund.
Cash Flows	Direct Method applied to operating, financing, and investment activities.	The advantage of presenting operating activities under the Direct Method is that it provides useful information to estimate future flows, which is not available when the indirect method is applied.
