1 Quarterly Range Report MyFolio Managed Range - Q OEIC Platform 1 MyFolio Managed Ratings MyFolio is a flexible solution consisting of 25 multi-asset, fund-of-funds, split into five ranges (three growth and two income) incorporating active and passive investment funds. For each range, we offer five individual funds that target a different level of risk. There are five MyFolio Managed Funds, ranging from lower through to higher risk (I to V). Each fund invests mainly in funds managed by Standard Life Investments. Standard Life Investments has considerable experience investing across the major asset classes such as equities, property and bonds. Please note that the number contained in a MyFolio fund name is not related to the synthetic risk and reward indicator contained in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID).

2 Market review Following a challenging first quarter, most global equity markets rebounded in Q2, driven by robust US economic data and a raft of better-than-expected corporate earnings results. The former allowed the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise rates in June, with two more hikes likely this year. Meanwhile, the oil price surpassed a four-year high in May on supply concerns. Perhaps the biggest talking point, though, was the deterioration in trade relations between the US and China, after each announced a series of new tariffs. Along with the rising US dollar, this meant emerging markets returns were down for the quarter. It was a bumpy period for global government bonds, with prices in the US, Germany and the UK falling on indications that US interest rates could rise more quickly than previously expected. Thereafter, political uncertainty in Italy and Spain fuelled demand for core government bonds, driving prices higher. Corporate bonds began well but struggled to make headway as the quarter progressed, with volatility in financial markets picking up as the spectre of global trade wars returned. UK commercial real estate delivered modest capital growth during the quarter, but there was further divergence in sector performance. While industrials continued to outperform the wider UK real estate market, there was further distress on the high street. Mothercare and House of Fraser were the latest retailers to resort to company voluntary arrangements (CVAs), while others like M&S looked to rationalise their physical portfolios. In this environment, real estate investors remained focused on assets in good locations, offering resilient income. Range commentary We review the Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA) for each of the MyFolio funds every quarter, with the aim of ensuring that we continue to meet investors long-term interests. At the most recent review, we made no changes to the SAA model. Within Tactical Asset Allocation (TAA), we made the following changes (where applicable within each risk level) during the second quarter of Reduced our European equities position to neutral (versus the SAA) Added to our holding in UK equities (while remaining underweight versus the SAA) Reduced our high yield bonds position to neutral Added to emerging market local currency debt Increased our cash position to a small overweight The political situation in Italy reignites memories of prior Eurozone crises; we think this will be an overhang to sentiment in Europe at least, but at worst risks contagion into other countries. Conversely, with the euro already considerably weaker versus the US dollar, an improving situation in Europe may lead to a stronger recovery. This would act as a headwind for European equities. Overall, we believe other markets offer better risk-adjusted returns at this point. This includes US equities, where domestic economic growth has been strong and Q1 data leads us to believe it will remain higher than in other countries. Alongside the euro, sterling has also been weak versus the US dollar. We therefore decided to add to our UK equities position to modify our sterling exposure. High yield bonds have performed well over the year-to-date relative to other asset classes. Two factors have mainly driven this: the rise in oil prices and the slowdown in issuance. Defaults among high yield bonds are currently running at a fairly low 3% but the asset class remains susceptible to higher US interest rates given greater debt levels. While we still expect positive returns, the risks are now more balanced. We therefore prefer to invest in emerging market debt, which gives us exposure to the growth dynamics within emerging markets. Finally, we increased our cash position, which gives us greater flexibility in volatile markets. There were no significant changes made to the underlying holdings over the review period. Market outlook The story of the equity market this year has been the reintroduction of risk and volatility. Higher interest rates and the removal of monetary policy are causing a slow tightening of liquidity conditions, which is creating stress in some emerging market currencies and bond yields. In addition, populist politics are challenging the status quo, threatening global free trade and the euro. However, the most important drivers for stocks economic data and corporate earnings remain solid, providing reasons to remain supportive. As we move through 2018, stock prices will have to be justified by the merits of the underlying company cashflows, rather than by interest-rate-driven valuation. The path and speed of interest rate changes will continue to determine the short-term outlook for bond markets. Central banks have made it clear they believe economic growth and employment levels now argue for an unwinding of emergency monetary policies, despite consistently low inflation. As a result, they are steering towards a tighter monetary policy stance. Meanwhile, the fundamental picture for corporate bonds remains sound, which was reflected in the first quarter earnings season. Uncertainty around the ultimate economic impact of Brexit continues to affect sentiment towards UK commercial real estate. We envisage a period of low returns over the next five years, with the forecast annual total return being slightly below the market income return. With income expected to be the main driver of returns, the degree of income risk from potential tenant default or the ability to maintain income at lease events will be key to performance.

It is made up of the Annual Management Charge (AMC) and other expenses taken from the class over the last annual reporting period, such as depositary fees, audit fees, investment management fees, and administration fees. It excludes portfolio transaction costs, except in the case of an entry/exit charge paid by the Fund when buying or selling in another collective investment undertaking. The OCF can help you compare the costs and expenses of different Funds/classes. 2
