1 Annual Short Report 7 March 2017 Fund Managers Report Dave Chappell Adrian Hilton Performance of Income Class 1 Shares* Over the twelve months to 7 March 2017, the published share price of the Threadneedle Global Bond Fund has risen from 60.96p to 66.85p. Looking at the sterling performance within its peer group, the total return on the fund for the twelve months ending 28 February 2017, including net reinvested income, is +7.50% as compared to a median return of % over the same period. The fund return equates approximately to % gross of tax and charges**. For information the JPM GBI Global (Traded) Index (prior to 31/07/2012 JPM Global ex Japan) gave a total return of % for the same period. Market Overview and Portfolio Activity Overall, the global bond market generated positive returns over the 12 months under review. In the first half of the period, developed government bonds strengthened only modestly in aggregate, while their emerging-market counterparts enjoyed strong gains as did corporate bonds. With core yields at very low levels investors were tempted further out the risk spectrum in the search for higher income. Gilts were among the notable exceptions to this trend, returning over 11% as measured by the FTSE Actuaries UK Gilts All Stocks index; after the UK s shock decision to leave the EU, gilt yields fell to record lows on the correct assumption that the Bank of England would respond by cutting interest rates. Global government bonds were especially weak and volatile toward the end of 2016, though corporate yields also rose. In the US, domestic economic data remained solid. Anticipation of a 25 basis point rate hike increased as the quarter progressed and was proved correct at the December meeting. However, the main catalyst for the sell-off in bonds was Donald Trump s election victory. Investors anticipated that his policies would drive up growth and inflation, thereby prompting a sharper trajectory for US interest rates. Moving into 2017, the main focus for investors was President Trump s first weeks in office, during which he signed a raft of executive orders. These included moves to cut regulation, boost infrastructure spending and oil production, and promote US steel. On the whole, the initiatives lifted equities but weighed on bond prices. In February, however, the US Federal Reserve s relatively dovish meeting and the lack of detail on President Trump s tax-reform plans put downward pressure on yields. Eurozone bonds had a weak start to 2017 amid stronger-than-expected growth, inflation and bond issuance. Eurozone GDP grew 0.4% in the fourth quarter (Q4) while annual inflation spiked to 1.8% in January, a near fouryear high. UK inflation and growth were also higher than expected, with annual CPI inflation hitting 1.8% in January and Q4 GDP growing 0.7%. The fund continued to hold a diversified portfolio of mostly developedmarket sovereign bonds, but also selective corporate and emerging-market sovereign bonds. We took advantage of relative weakness over the first half of the period to increase exposure to Japanese and US sovereign debt, and although effective durations (interest-rate risks) increased in both cases, they remained short of the benchmark. However, overall US duration was more neutral to long, due to our holdings in US-denominated supranational debt and high-quality credit. By contrast, we began the period with long duration positions in Australian and UK government bonds; we lowered exposure to both during the first six months of the year, moving less long in Australia and modestly short duration in the UK, where gilt yields had plumbed record lows. Towards the end of 2016, we added to our holdings of government bonds issued by the UK, Australia and Germany. We rotated our holdings within Treasuries and Japanese government bonds as some of our existing holdings matured. We also closed our positions in Portuguese and Irish sovereign debt. In the corporate bond space, we trimmed our exposure to Huntington National Bank. Near the end of the period, we added to our holdings of sovereign debt issued by France, Australia and to a small extent, Japan. We reduced our exposure to gilts. The Bank of Japan s transition to yield-curve control (and, thus, an implicit reduction of asset purchases) and speculation that the European Central Bank may taper its stimulus programme have led markets to question the large QE premium embedded into core bond markets. Simultaneously, the prospect of fiscal stimulus is gaining some credibility, especially since the election of Donald Trump as US president. While our long-term view of low real rates remains intact, there is an increasing risk of near-term corrections to somewhat higher yield levels as markets adjust to changes in the desired policy mix. Fund Facts Fund Accounting and Distribution Dates Accounting Dates Payment Dates 7 March 7 May 7 September 7 November Ongoing Charges Figure The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF) is the European standard method of disclosing the charges of a share class of a fund based on the financial year s expenses and may vary from year to year.

For more information, please refer to columbiathreadneedle.co.uk/income-equalisation. Increase to the Depositary s fee From 1 October 2016, the fee payable to the Depositary was increased from 0.008% to 0.01% per annum. This was agreed as a result of additional services to be performed by the Depositary as a result of the implementation of EU Directive 2014/91/EU (UCITS V). Changes to the share class names With effect from 6 April 2017, all payments from the Funds will be paid gross of UK tax, following changes to the way savings and investments are taxed in the UK. As a result of the change, the word net has been removed from the names of all the share classes that were previously net paying shares. Introduction of income equalisation for certain funds of the Company The ACD has decided to introduce income equalisation for certain funds of the Company with effect from 8 March Further information on income equalisation can be found at columbiathreadneedle.co.uk/income-equalisation. Key Risks Investment Risk: The value of investments can fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the sum originally invested. Currency Risk: Where investments are in assets that are denominated in multiple currencies, or currencies other than your own, changes in exchange rates may affect the value of the investments. Issuer Risk: The Fund invests in securities whose value would be significantly affected if the issuer refused, was unable to or was perceived to be unable to pay. Liquidity Risk: The fund holds assets which could prove difficult to sell. The fund may have to lower the selling price, sell other investments or forego more appealing investment opportunities. Inflation Risk: Most bond and cash funds offer limited capital growth potential and an income that is not linked to inflation. Inflation is likely to affect the value of capital and income over time. Interest Rate Risk: Changes in interest rates are likely to affect the fund s value. In general, as interest rates rise, the price of a fixed rate bond will fall, and vice versa. Derivatives for EPM/Hedging Risk: The investment policy of the fund allows it to invest in derivatives for the purposes of reducing risk or minimising the cost of transactions. Further risks applicable to the fund can be found in the Prospectus. Risk and Reward Profile As at 7 March 2017 the figure for the risk and reward profile disclosed in the most recent KIID representing this fund is 4. The fund is in this specific category because historically it has shown a medium level of volatility (how much the value of the fund went up and down compared to other categories). It is based on past performance data in pound sterling. If your investment in the fund is not in pound sterling, please check the figure for the risk and reward profile disclosed on our website (columbiathreadneedle.com) according to the currency of your investment in the fund.
