1 Schroder UK Alpha Plus Fund Final Short Report 1 June 2015 to 31 May 2016

2 Review of Investment Activities From 29 May 2015 to 31 May 2016, the price of A Accumulation units on selling price to selling price basis fell 6.89%. In comparison, the FTSE* All Share Index generated a negative total return of 6.31% 1. 1 Source: Thomson Reuters Datastream. The past twelve months have been a difficult and volatile period for UK equities as a number of global uncertainties weighed on markets. Initial concerns surrounding negotiations between Greece and its international creditors and a potential exit from the EU were supplanted by fears about emerging markets, the outlook for China and latterly the durability of US growth. This occurred amid uncertainty around the consequences of the US Federal Reserve s decision to increase interest rates by 0.25% in December, the first rise in nearly a decade. The accompanying dollar strength and uncertain global growth outlook weighed heavily on commodities with supply side factors further negatively impacting crude oil prices. Commodities rebounded at the period end as dollar strength unwound in line with the deferral in expectations for further rises in US rates. Our overweight in the software and computer services sector was the standout performer over the period, with accounting software company Sage Group, trading software provider Fidessa Group, internet hosting specialist iomart Group and IT infrastructure services group Computacenter all performing well. Our media holdings also positively contributed, including business information group RELX and business to business publisher Informa whose restructuring plan is progressing faster than expected. We continue to be attracted to the high return on capital and cash generation offered by the sector. On the negative side, our exposure to banks was a notable detractor. Whilst the portfolio benefited from being underweight Standard Chartered and HSBC Holdings, this was more than offset by our holdings in Royal Bank of Scotland Group and Barclays. We continue to believe the sector offers long term value and the value leakage from increased regulatory capital requirements, as well as conduct fines and litigation is reaching an endpoint. Our investment approach forces a constant re-evaluation of where the best combination of value and quality lies in the market as well as seeking to invest in companies which appear cheap in a cyclical context. We believe this combination produces a portfolio capable of generating decent and sustainable returns on capital and ultimately cash returns to unitholders over the medium term. Against a backdrop of low nominal growth and weak profits delivery the market has placed certain companies, whose earning streams appear relatively resilient or are able to deliver strong organic growth, on high valuations. This has been exacerbated further by the recent Brexit vote. Given the possibility that the UK economy now faces a recession in the face of current political and economic uncertainty, we are paying close attention to the extent to which earnings may fall from here and balance sheets are positioned to cope with this change. Fund Manager: Philip Matthews

13 Investment Objective & Policy The fund s investment objective is to provide capital growth through investment in UK and other companies. In order to achieve the objective the Manager will invest in a focused portfolio of securities. The emphasis of the fund will be investment in UK companies. The fund may also invest in companies headquartered or quoted outside the UK where those companies have material or critical operations within, or derive significant business from, the UK. Fixed interest securities may be included in the portfolio. 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.

14 Risk Profile (continued) Specific risks The fund is index unconstrained and has the potential for greater volatility. The fund invests solely in the securities of a particular country. There may be a greater risk than investing in funds that hold securities in a range of countries. The fund invests in a smaller number of stocks. This carries more risk than funds spread across a larger number of companies. For these reasons, the purchase of units should not normally be regarded as a short term investment.
