1 Schroder European Smaller Companies Fund Final Short Report 1 December 2015 to 30 November 2016

3 Schroder European Smaller Companies Fund Review of Investment Activities From 30 November 2015 to 30 November 2016, the price of A Accumulation units on a selling price to selling price basis rose 18.92%. In comparison, the Euromoney Smaller Europe ex UK Index and the FTSE* World Europe ex UK Index generated total returns of 19.85% 1 and 12.12% 1, respectively, in sterling terms. 1 Source: Thomson Reuters Datastream. The fund slightly lagged the Euromoney Smaller Europe ex UK benchmark. The main individual detractor was solar technology group Meyer Burger Technology after poor first quarter results. In turn, this raised concerns regarding the firm s ability to refinance bonds coming due in 2017 and we sold our holding in April. The shares have subsequently fallen more than 80% as an equity raise was indeed required. Certain Italian financial holdings notably Anima Holding and Banca Sistema also detracted from relative returns. Italian stocks generally underperformed amid concerns over the strength of the banks and worries around the constitutional referendum in early December. Asset manager Anima Holding does not face the capital issues confronting the banking sector; we feel the shares are cheaply valued and added to our position. Similarly, Banca Sistema is a factoring company and has a solid balance sheet. Computer peripherals maker Logitech International was the top positive contributor after disclosing strong quarterly results and raising full year sales forecasts. Medical devices producer Ambu supported fund returns as it continues to execute well looks somewhat daunting with a calendar filled with key elections in the Netherlands, France and Germany, combined with the political reshuffle in Italy and likely triggering of Article 50 in the UK. However, 2016 has shown that the markets are often overly fearful in the run up to such political events. This creates mispricing inefficiencies from which we look to benefit. We continue to focus on companies with robust and protected business franchises or where market fears are causing the shares to disconnect from the intrinsic value of the underlying companies. Macro indicators have stealthily but persistently improved, which looks encouraging for the economic cycle in Europe in Fund Manager: Luke Biermann

10 Investment Objective & Policy The fund s investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation through investment in smaller European companies. Investments will be made principally in smaller companies in Europe, excluding the UK. The fund will also be permitted to invest in European companies listed on other principal stock exchanges. Investment will be in directly held transferable securities. The fund may also invest in collective investment schemes, warrants and money market instruments. Risk Profile Risk and reward indicator Lower risk Potentially lower reward Higher risk Potentially higher reward The risk category was calculated using historical performance data and may not be a reliable indicator of the fund s future risk profile. The fund is in this category because it can take higher risks in search of higher rewards and its price may rise and fall accordingly. The fund s risk category is not guaranteed to remain fixed and may change over time. A fund in the lowest category does not mean a risk free investment. Specific risks The fund invests in assets which are exposed to currencies other than sterling. Exchange rates may cause the value of overseas investments and the revenue from them to rise or fall. The fund invests in smaller companies which may be less liquid than larger companies and price swings may therefore be greater than in larger company funds. For these reasons, the purchase of units should not normally be regarded as a short term investment.
