For informaton regarding conflicts of interest, please click Morningstar evaluates mutual funds based on five key pillars, which its analysts believe lead to funds that are more likely to outperform over the long term on a risk-adjusted basis. Analyst Rating Spectrum Œ Á The for Funds is a forward-looking analysis of a fund. Morningstar has identified five key areas crucial to predicting the future success of a fund: People, Parent, Process, Performance, and Price. The pillars are used in determining the for a fund. s are assigned on a five-tier scale running from Gold to Negative. The top three ratings, Gold, Silver, and Bronze, all indicate that our analysts think highly of a fund; the difference between them corresponds to differences in the level of analyst conviction in a fund s ability to outperform its benchmark and peers through time, within the context of the level of risk taken over the long term (defined as a full market cycle or at least five years). Neutral represents funds in which our analysts don t have a strong positive or negative conviction over the long term (defined as a full market cycle or at least five years) and Negative represents funds that possess at least one flaw that our analysts believe is likely to significantly hamper future performance over the long term (defined as a full market cycle or at least five years). Past performance of a security may or may not be sustained in future and is no indication of future performance. For detailed information about the Morningstar Analyst Rating for Funds, please visit 15 Nov, 217 IShares Overseas Government Bond Tracker offers passive exposure to the market of investment-grade government bonds issued by the largest developed economies, excluding the U.K. This U.K.-domiciled index fund is denominated in pounds and is thus primarily aimed at U.K. investors as a complement to domestic sovereign holdings. We take no issue with the management process, which is highly automated and manned by a team with a long track record in the management of passive funds. This fund employs stratified sampling to replicate the performance of the index. A key objective of the management process is maximising savings in the trading of securities, and the portfolio management team at ishares seems to excel at this, whether by exploiting internal cross-trading with their range of active funds, or by means of careful research of credit events affecting the index s constituents. The fund also has an advantage in cost terms. At.17%, the fee charged by the RDRclean D share class is low relative to the category average. Ultimately, however, the investment proposition--a non-u.k. sovereign complement to U.K. gilt holdings--comes across as more of a tactical overlay for a U.K. investment portfolio. Besides, the exclusion of the U.K. from the basket means that the fund s risk/return profile is volatile relative to peers included in the Morningstar Category, whether passive or active, which mostly track, or are referenced to, all-issuer-inclusive benchmarks. On this basis, we retain a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Neutral.

Average Coupon Average Coupon 31/1/17 15 Nov, 217 The fund replicates the performance of the JP Morgan Global Government Bond Ex UK Index. The managers use stratified sampling. The index is broken down into sections, each representing key risk factors, such as duration, currency, or rating. The managers choose investments that mimic the risk profile of each section, keeping weight deviations between fund and index consistent with a tracking error target below 1 basis points. The end result is a portfolio that respects the index s risk profile. The management process is highly automated. Managers rely on proprietary analytical and risk control systems (for example, Aladdin) to meet all aspects of management. The risk monitoring system is integrated with the portfolio building solution, issuing daily reports. A key objective is the maximisation of savings in trading costs.

Process Pillar Credit Quality Surveyed 31/1/17 Bonds % Fund Category Nov, 217 The JP Morgan Global Government Bond Ex UK Index measures the performance of the market of conventional government bonds issued by the largest investment-grade developed-markets sovereign issuers, excluding the U.K. The index is pound-denominated. The index holds a large number of components (8-1). The fund manager uses stratified sampling, keeping the fund s key risk characteristics in sync with benchmark, while minimising trading costs. The highly liquid nature of the underlying market effectively means that differences in the number of components between fund and index have tended to be limited. Statistical weight deviations between fund and index in relation to issuer, rating, or maturity exposure are kept within very tight ranges, rarely exceeding 1%. In terms of geographical exposure, the Bond Maturity 31/1/17 Assets % Fund Category U.S. typically accounts for 45%, the eurozone for 25%-3%, and Japan for 2%-25%. The reminder is shared by the likes of Australia, Canada, and Sweden. Mirroring the benchmark, the fund shows a broad-based distribution across the maturity spectrum, with overall duration around the seven-year mark.

4 GBB849C83 Page 4 of 9 15 Nov :, UTC- 6 Performance The returns profile is bound to be volatile relative to the category average. Performance Pillar 15 Nov, 217 In terms of tracking accuracy, which is the fund s prime objective, the record has improved over the past three years. Meanwhile, measured in the context of the Morningstar Category, which includes both active and passive peers, this fund s performance record is volatile. As of this review, on a risk-adjusted basis, the fund s returns ranked in the first quartile on a three-trailing year basis, but were down to the third over five years. Even considering the fund s fee advantage, the peculiarities of the non-u.k.-inclusive index introduces a significant element of volatility on future returns relative to category peers tracking, or referenced to, an all-encompassing global sovereign benchmark. This fund may well outperform its peers in isolated periods when market conditions are particularly unfavourable for U.K. government bonds, but by the same token it should lag in the opposite scenario.

Most key members of the team trace their professional history to BGI. This fund s lead manager is Francis Rayner. His service with the firm dates to 28 and includes his years with BGI. Prior to BGI, he spent six years working for Prudential M&G and International Financial Data Services as a client relationship manager.

6 GBB849C83 Page 6 of 9 15 Nov :, UTC- 6 Parent BlackRock, though not perfect, has largely served fundholders well. Parent Pillar 8 May, 217 At $5 trillion in assets under management, BlackRock is the largest asset manager in the world. The firm isn't perfect--after struggling with its active-equity capabilities for years, it's reorganizing that outfit for the second time, and its ishares franchise launches some trendy exchange-traded funds. But the firm has made Assets By Region, By Domicile Bil GBP Fund Family Details Europe (*) Breakdown great strides to encourage its portfolio managers to invest alongside fundholders, and strengthen its investment offerings. The firm's Parent rating was raised to Positive from Neutral. The firm has grown quickly, in large part thanks to the strength of ishares and its active fixed-income and multi-asset businesses, as well as a growing institutional business, which includes mostly index-based strategies. BlackRock's solid stewardship of capital stems in large part from its decision that to succeed as a publicly traded asset manager, it must act as a responsible, high-performing fiduciary. The firm uses its scale and technological capabilities to achieve this goal. BlackRock is constantly evolving and has focused on technology in recent years to further growth, including selling its proprietary riskmanagement system, Aladdin, to competitors and developing a pared-down version for advisors. A recent announcement to move $3 billion in active equity to quant-driven strategies demonstrates a willingness to rely more heavily on technology to run portfolios.

Page 8 of 9 Analysts do not have any other material conflicts of interest at the time of publication. Users wishing to obtain further information should contact their local Morningstar office or refer to The for Funds The for Funds is a forward-looking analysis of a fund. The Analyst Rating does not express a view on a given asset class or peer group; rather, it seeks to evaluate each fund within the context of its objective, an appropriate benchmark, and peer group. The date shown next to the is the date on which Morningstar Manager Research Analyst assigned or reaffirmed the current rating for the fund based on the analyst s latest review and research report for the fund. The Five (5) Pillars Morningstar has identified five key areas that we believe are crucial to predicting the future success of funds: People, Parent, Process, Performance, and Price. Each pillar is evaluated when assessing a fund as well as the interaction between the pillars, which we believe is crucial to understanding a fund s overall merit. People The overall quality of a fund s investment team is a significant key to its ability to deliver superior performance relative to its benchmark and/or peers. Evaluating a fund s investment team requires that analysts assess several relevant items including how key decisions are made. Parent We believe the parent organization is of utmost importance in evaluating funds. The fund s management set the tone for key elements of our evaluation, including capacity management, risk management, recruitment and retention of talent, and incentive pay. Beyond these operational areas, we prefer firms that have a culture of stewardship and put investors first to those that are too heavily weighted to salesmanship. Process We look for funds with a performance objective and investment process (for both security selection and portfolio construction) that is sensible, clearly defined, and repeatable. In addition, the portfolio should be constructed in a manner that is consistent with the investment process and performance objective. Performance We do not believe past performance is necessarily predictive of future results, and this factor accordingly receives a relatively small weighting in our evaluation process. In particular, we strive not to anchor on short-term performance. However, we do believe that the evaluation of long-term return and risk patterns is vital to determining if a fund is delivering to our expectations. Price To reflect actual investor experience, price is evaluated within the context of the relevant market or cross-border region for example, the United States, Australia, Canada, or Europe. In recognition of differences in scale and distribution costs in various markets, the level at which a fund is penalised for high fees or rewarded for low fees can vary with region. In Europe, for example, funds are penalised if they land in the most expensive quintile of their Morningstar category and are rewarded if they land in the cheapest quintile. The assessment is made using annual expense ratios, but in the case of funds with performance fees, expenses are evaluated excluding any performance fees and then the structure of the performance fee is evaluated separately.
9 s s are assigned on a five-tier scale running from Gold to Negative. The top three ratings, Gold, Silver, and Bronze, all indicate that our analysts think highly of a fund; the difference between them corresponds to differences in the level of analyst conviction in a fund s ability to outperform its benchmark and peers through time, within the context of the level of risk taken. Gold Represents funds that our analyst has the highest-conviction in for that given investment mandate. By giving a fund a Gold rating, we are expressing an expectation that it will outperform its relevant performance benchmark and/or peer group within the context of the level of risk taken over the long term (defined as a full market cycle or at least five years). To earn a Gold rating, a fund must distinguish itself across the five pillars that are the basis for our analysis. Silver Represents funds our analyst has high-conviction in, but not in all of the five pillars. With those fundamental strengths, we expect these funds will outperform their relevant performance benchmark and/or peer group within the context of the level of risk taken over the long term (defined as a full market cycle or at least five years). Bronze Represents funds that have advantages that clearly outweigh any disadvantages across the pillars, giving analyst the conviction to award them a positive rating. We expect these funds to beat their relevant performance benchmark and/ or peer group within the context of the level of risk taken over a full market cycle (or at least five years). Neutral Represents funds in which our analysts don t have a strong positive or negative conviction. In our judgment, these funds are not likely to deliver standout returns, but they aren t likely to seriously underperform their relevant performance benchmark and/or peer group either. Limited.

Investors should consult a financial adviser regarding the suitability of any investment product, taking into account their specific investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs, before making any investment decisions. Negative Represents funds that possess at least one flaw that our analysts believe is likely to significantly hamper future performance, such as high fees or an unstable management team. Because of these faults, we believe these funds are inferior to most competitors and will likely underperform their relevant performance benchmark and/or peer group, within the context of the level of risk taken, over a full market cycle. Morningstar may also use two other designations in place of a rating: Under Review This designation means that a change that occurred with the fund or at the fund company requires further review to determine the impact on the rating. Not Ratable This designation is used only where we are providing a report on a new strategy or on a strategy where there are no relevant comparators, but where investors require information as to suitability. For more information about our Analyst Rating methodology please go to Morningstar Star Rating The Morningstar Star Rating is a proprietary data point that is quantitatively driven. Funds are rated from one to five stars based on how well the fund performed (after adjusting for risk and accounting for sales charges) in comparison to similar funds. Within each Morningstar Category, the top 1% of funds receive five-stars and the bottom 1% receives one-star. Funds are rated for up to three time periods three-, five-, and ten-years and these ratings are combined to produce an overall star rating, which is noted within the Report. Funds with less than three years of history are not rated. Morningstar Star Ratings are based entirely on a mathematical evaluation of past performance. Morningstar Star Ratings are in no way to be considered a buy or sell signal nor should be viewed as a statement of fact. Equity-Related Data Points The Report lists the fund s top ten holdings as of the dated noted. For each underlying holding, a series of data points is provided including, where applicable, that security s Economic Moat as of the date noted. Economic Moat The concept of an economic moat plays a vital role in our equity analyst s qualitative assessment of a firm s long-term investment potential, but also in the actual calculation of its fair value estimate. An economic moat is a structural feature that allows a firm to sustain excess profits over a long period of time. We define economic profits as returns on invested capital (or ROIC) over and above our estimate of a firm s cost of capital, or weighted average cost of capital (or WACC). Without a moat, profits are more susceptible to competition. We have identified five sources of economic moats: intangible assets, switching costs, network effect, cost advantage, and efficient scale. Companies with a narrow moat are those we believe are more likely than not to achieve normalized excess returns for at least the next 1 years. Wide-moat companies are those in which we have very high confidence that excess returns will remain for 1 years, with excess returns more likely than not to remain for at least 2 years. The longer a firm generates economic profits, the higher its intrinsic value. We believe low-quality, no-moat companies will see their normalized returns gravitate toward the firm s cost of capital more quickly than companies with moats.
