1 Annual Short Report 30 April 2018 Fund Manager s Report Ilan Furman Performance of Class 1 Accumulation shares* Over the twelve months to 30 April 2018, the published share price of Class 1 accumulation shares in the Threadneedle Global Emerging Markets Equity Fund has risen from p to p. For comparison, using noon prices, the performance of the Class 1 share class was +8.28% and +8.91% for the Class 2 share class compared to a return of % for the Morningstar UK Unit Trusts/OEICS (IA) Global Emerging Markets Peer Group (on a bid to bid basis, with income reinvested for a UK basic rate taxpayer). For information purposes, using global close prices, the total return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index was %. Market Overview and Portfolio Activity Emerging Market (EM) equities performed strongly over the period, with the MSCI Emerging Markets index rising 14.7% in sterling terms, outperforming developed markets. This was despite a bout of volatility in early February, when global investors were unsettled by stronger-than-expected wage growth in the US, which fuelled fears of higher inflation and a steeper trajectory for US interest-rate hikes. EM equities continued strong performance demonstrated the resilience of the emerging market macro environment, given factors such as domestic fund flows, foreign exchange buffers and the aggregate current account surplus. More importantly, throughout the period, expectations for earnings-per-share (EPS) growth in Asia have risen significantly across countries and sectors, with further upward revisions in February. This has been a clear divergence from their developed market counterparts. China continued its strong run off the back of robust earnings, positive economic releases and higher-than-expected GDP growth. In 2018, US-China trade tensions began to emerge. However, with proposed sanctions impacting China s exports by just 0.65% and its GDP by 0.01%, the overall impact of tariffs at this stage is certainly not alarming. Taiwan also performed well, driven by Apple supply-chain names, mirroring the global trend of strong performance in the technology sector. Finally, Indian equities hit an all-time high during the period and shrugged off concerns over the implementation of the goods and services (GST) tax bill. Latin American equities rose over the period, as positive political news, improving commodity prices and favourable currency movements helped propel markets higher. In the second half, however, the fall in commodity prices weighed on market performance. In Brazil, investors grew concerned when corruption allegations were raised against President Michel Temer, *In pound Sterling and against UK peer group. but the subsequent dismissal of charges reinvigorated the prospects for further reform measures. Indeed, the senate approved labour reform legislation; the first major overhaul of labour rules in seven decades. Mexican equities continued their recovery on the back of a softening of US protectionist rhetoric towards the nation. GDP data remained strong, buoyed by a tight labour market and strong trade data. Over the period, the fund initiated a position in SK Hynix, given the consolidation within the market and the less cyclical nature of memory pricing. We are optimistic that the company is well positioned to benefit from strong demand as a result of cloud customers. A new position was initiated in Itau Unibanco, on the back of a positive macro backdrop for continued strength in the bank s earnings. We also expect continued strength in asset growth, while interest rate increases are likely to lead to an expansion in net interest margins. In this backdrop, valuations remain attractive. The fund also increased its exposure to Brazil by initiating a new position in Brazilian airline Azul, which has a unique business model, an attractive valuation and strong growth opportunities and by participating in the initial public offering of payment processor PagSeguro Digital. The company possesses a branded, self-serve, digital distribution channel, offering exposure to the development of Brazil s electronic payments economy. To fund these purchases, the fund sold out of Far Eastone, Akbank, Anglo American Platinum and FEMSA, among others. Our outlook on the asset class remains positive, underpinned by improvements to return on equity, earnings and cashflows, which are outpacing improvements in developed market counterparts. The last quarter clearly demonstrated the improvement in the domestic macro environment given the resilience of the asset class over a turbulent period, especially relative to developed markets. Structural progress is ongoing, with reforms and favourable demographics providing a compelling investment case. EM economies are better positioned to withstand a US tightening cycle, given factors such as the aggregate EM current account surplus, reduced dependence on external financing, foreign exchange buffers, benign inflation and positive real interest rates. Geopolitical risk is another important consideration, with trade relations between China and the US at the forefront of discussions. Current tariff announcements are containable, with the real risk coming from the threat of an escalation to the trade war. Valuations remain relatively attractive, with the added benefit of healthy yield support in many cases due to strong free cashflow generation.

4 Investment Objective and Policy The investment objective of the Global Emerging Markets Equity Fund is to achieve long-term capital growth. The ACD s investment policy is to invest the assets of the Fund primarily in equities of Emerging Markets companies. These are defined as companies domiciled in and/or whose significant activities are in Emerging Market countries. Emerging Market countries are those characterised as developing or emerging by the World Bank, the United Nations or the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index. From 14 May 2018, the Fund may invest up to 30% of its Net Asset Value in China A-Shares through the China-Hong Kong Stock Connect Programme. If the ACD considers it desirable, it may further invest up to one third of the total assets of the Fund in other securities (including fixed interest securities, other equities and money market securities). In addition, the ACD may use derivatives and forward transactions for purposes that are limited to efficient portfolio management.

Threadneedle has the right to reject a subscription if the investor does not confirm that they have read the latest KIID at the time of application.

Brexit In June 2016 the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. While negotiations progress, there is significant uncertainty relating to the UK s withdrawal from the EU, the potential consequences and precise timeframe. It is expected that the UK will exit from the EU on 29 March Depending on the outcome of the UK s negotiations with the European Union, and the existence or otherwise of any formal implementation period, it is possible that the Fund may no longer be eligible to enjoy the rights set out in the UCITS Directive. Ceasing to be so eligible may affect the ability of non-uk domiciled investors to make new investments in the Company. The ACD is monitoring the situation and will keep shareholders informed. 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. Political and Financial Risk: The fund invests in markets where economic and regulatory risk can be significant. These factors can affect liquidity, settlement and asset values. Any such event can have a negative effect on the value of your investment. 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. 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. High Volatility Risk: The fund typically carries a risk of high volatility due to its portfolio composition or the portfolio management techniques used. This means that the fund s value is likely to fall and rise more frequently and this could be more pronounced than with other funds. China-Hong Kong Stock Connect Risk: The Fund may invest through the China-Hong Kong Stock Connect programmes which have significant operational constraints including quota limits and are subject to regulatory change and increased counterparty risk. Further risks applicable to the fund can be found in the Prospectus. Risk and Reward Profile As at 30 April 2018 the figure for the risk and reward profile disclosed in the most recent KIID representing this fund is 5. The fund is in this specific category because historically it has shown a medium to high 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.
