1 Aberdeen Multi-Asset Growth 2 Portfolio Annual short report for the year ended 31 October 2016 Investment objective and policy To achieve long term total return. The Portfolio aims to achieve long term total return through a portfolio typically taking a diversified approach to lower and higher risk assets. The Portfolio will primarily be exposed to bonds and equities, with the remainder exposed to property and cash. The Portfolio will be exposed to these asset classes indirectly through investment in collective investment schemes, including but not limited to collective investment schemes managed by the Investment Manager and/or its associated group companies, and investment in ETFs, and directly through investment in the asset classes themselves. The Portfolio may also invest in transferable securities, money market instruments, cash equivalents and deposits. The Portfolio may also invest in derivatives for efficient portfolio management, including hedging. Note: The term total return means a combination of income and capital growth and no positive return is implied. Performance review For the year ended 31 October 2016, the value of Multi- Asset Growth 2 - R Accumulation Units increased by 12.84%. Source: Lipper, Total Return, published NAV to NAV, UK net income reinvested, GBP. Please remember that past performance is not a guide to future returns. The price of shares and the revenue from them may fall as well as rise. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Market review UK equity markets did well in sterling terms over the reporting period. At the sector level, basic materials and technology were key contributors, while consumer services and financials lagged. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the UK s decision to leave the European Union, some of the country s largest companies benefited from sterling s decline. Macroeconomic data released in October beat estimates and seemed to show that the UK economy fared well in the aftermath of the Brexit, whereas growth climbed higher than expected between July and September. Earlier in the period, UK government bonds traded in a narrow range, lifted by Eurozone quantitative easing, which helped quell market jitters. However, the 10-year UK gilt yield moved sharply lower in the wake of the Brexit vote.

2 Towards the end of the reporting period, the Bank of England (BoE) cut interest rates to 0.25% and launched its biggest stimulus package since the onset of the financial crisis. This proved the catalyst for a strong recovery in corporate bonds, where more than half the sector s earnings are non-sterling. The weaker pound also boosted overseas revenues. Elsewhere, commercial property returns were positive, despite initial panic post-referendum. While concerns over Brexit continue to worry investors, a need for income-generating investments has assured that property returned to favour fairly quickly. Portfolio review Over the reporting period, we maintained a benchmark A weight to equities and an underweight to bonds and property. This was balanced by holding cash as we took a more defensive stance. Within equities, emerging markets and our overweight to Japan added relative value to the portfolio. However, these gains were overshadowed by our underweight exposure to Asia, as well as and negative stock selection in North America. Within fixed income, while global government, corporate and emerging market bonds did well, our global high-yield fund detracted from performance. Elsewhere, our property holding fell, as the Aberdeen UK Property Fund changed its pricing basis at the start of the year from offer to bid, and saw fair value adjustments applied post Brexit. During the period, we increased our equity positions in Japan and emerging markets, on the back of attractive valuations, while paring our exposure in Europe ahead of the Brexit vote as markets became increasingly volatile. We also added to corporate bonds, which still showed signs of adding value to the portfolio. The BoE s announcement of further quantitative easing saw an upgrade in our outlook for gilts. Subsequently, we trimmed our exposure to world government bonds and re-invested the proceeds in the sterling government-bond fund. Outlook Looking ahead, political uncertainty, which dominated the global economy over the course of the year, looks set to continue into We believe global growth will moderate to a slower pace, given the debt burdens in developed economies, ageing populations in key countries and lower productivity growth. On a positive note, inflation in the UK has picked up, while domestic consumption remained robust, helped by upbeat household spending. The BoE s latest survey also showed a recovery in business sentiment post referendum, whereas populist politicians gaining ground in Europe could result in a more difficult economic environment. Against this backdrop, we believe that a well-diversified portfolio will help mitigate the impact of rising political uncertainty. A Benchmark is for comparison purpose only. This fund is not managed against a specific benchmark. 2 Aberdeen Multi-Asset Growth 2 Portfolio

The higher the rank the greater the potential reward but the greater the risk of losing money. It is based on past data, may change over time and may not be a reliable indication of the future risk profile of the Fund. The shaded area in the table below shows the Fund s ranking on the Risk and Reward Indicator. Typically lower rewards, lower risk Typically higher rewards, higher risk Risk and reward indicator table as at 31 October This Fund is ranked at 4 because funds of this type have experienced average rises and falls in value in the past. Please note that even the lowest risk class can lose you money and that extreme market circumstances can mean you suffer severe losses in all cases. The indicator does not take into account the following risks of investing in this Fund: Investing globally can bring additional returns and diversify risk. However, currency exchange rate fluctuations may have a positive or negative impact on the value of your investment. 4 Aberdeen Multi-Asset Growth 2 Portfolio

5 Emerging markets or less developed countries may face more political, economic or structural challenges than developed countries. This may mean your money is at greater risk. Derivatives: The Fund can use derivatives in order to meet its investment objectives or to protect from price and currency movements. This may result in gains or losses that are greater than the original amount invested. Bonds are affected by changes in interest rates, inflation and any decline in creditworthiness of the bond issuer. Bonds that produce a higher level of income usually also carry greater risk as such bond issuers may not be able to pay the bond income as promised or could fail to repay the capital amount used to purchase the bond. Where a bond market has a low number of buyers and/or a high number of sellers, it may be harder to sell particular bonds at an anticipated price and/or in a timely manner. This Fund invests into other funds which themselves invest in assets such as bonds, company shares, cash and currencies. The objectives and risk profiles of these underlying funds may not be fully in line with those of this Fund. Property investments can be significantly harder to buy and sell than other investments, such as bonds and company shares. If properties have to be sold quickly this could result in lower prices being obtained for them. Property values can go up and down dramatically, particularly in extreme market conditions. Investment in commodities can be significantly affected by commodity prices, world events, competition, government regulation and economic conditions, which may result in increased price volatility. A full list of risks applicable to this Fund can be found in the Prospectus. The latest risk and reward profile can be found on the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) for this Fund which is available on our website at aberdeen-asset.co.uk Other information Consumers rights and protections, including any derived from EU legislation, are currently unaffected by the result of the UK referendum to leave the European Union, and will remain unchanged unless and until the UK Government changes the applicable legislation.
