1 For Accredited or Institutional Investors only Schroder Singapore Fixed Income Monthly Strategy Update Covering March 2018 Investment Objective The investment objective of the strategy is to provide investors with diversified exposure to the Singapore fixed income market through investment in Singapore dollar denominated bonds. The strategy will invest in a diversified portfolio of Singapore do llar denominated fixed income securities, including debt securities issued by the Singapore Government, Singapore statutory boards and corporates with issuer credit ratings of at least Baa by Moody s, BBB by Standard and Poor s or BBB by Fitch (including sub-categories or gradations therein). The strategy may also invest in non-rated debt securities issued by Singapore-incorporated entities and Singapore statutory boards, provided that such securities are researched thoroughly by our internal credit analyst team.

Source: Schroders, Schroder Singapore Fixed Income, I class shares. Gross performance is gross of total expense while net performance is based on NAV-to-NAV, net of management fees, dividends reinvested. Data is as at 31 March Past performance is not indicative of future performance. The Schroder Singapore Fixed Income strategy has delivered outperformance against the benchmark over the medium- to long-term, and has generated a strong return of 3.52% (gross) p.a. since its inception in October The MercerInsight MPA universe peer comparison chart overleaf validates the excellent long-term track record of the strategy against the industry peers. The strategy has delivered good excess returns over the 5-year period to December 2017*. Notably, this performance was not achieved by taking excessive risk but with a risk level comparable to the benchmark and at a low tracking error in comparison to peers. This has resulted in an excellent risk-return trade-off and a second-quartile information ratio of 1.1. *MercerInsight MPA updates peer comparison only on a quarterly basis.

2 Source: MercerInsight MPA, 31 December Market Overview US Treasury yields broke the upward trend in March and declined across the curve. Investors flocked to safe haven assets over fears of a possible US-China trade war and a slew of economic data misses in Europe. The US Treasury 10-year yield fell from 2.86% to 2.74%, while the US Treasury 30-year yield dropped to 2.97%. Trade friction between the US and China intensified in March. Following the imposition of stiff US tariffs on steel and aluminium, China unveiled a list of 106 American imports that would be subject to duties. In response, the US announced a temporary tariff exemption for the European Union and other nations, singling China out as the main target of its trade tariff policies. On the Singapore front, the March Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) rose across most sectors to print at It was driven in particular by faster growth in factory output, higher new orders and new exports. February industrial production rose 8.9%. However, February non-oil domestic export numbers unexpectedly fell 5.9% due to a decline in shipments. Against this backdrop, Singapore bonds reversed course to produce positive returns in March. Singaporean dollar (SGD)-denominated government bonds returned 0.6% (iboxx ALBI Singapore Government Total Return Index) while their SGD-denominated credit counterparts underperformed and ended the month at 0.1% (iboxx Singapore Non-Government Total Return Index). Elsewhere, the Singapore dollar appreciated 1.0% against the US dollar Performance Review The Schroder Singapore Fixed Income strategy returned 0.40% (gross of total expense) in March and underperformed the benchmark which returned 0.46%. The Fund was negatively impacted by the overall underweight duration bias, particularly from the underweight SGD duration as Singapore bonds returned positive in March. In addition, on the back of tightening swap spreads and a depreciation of USD against SGD, the short in SGD swaps and the off-benchmark allocation to USD-denominated bonds detracted from performance. Conversely, positive sector allocation between government bonds and credits contributed positively over the month and offset some of the negative performance. The Fund also benefitted from overall yield curve positioning, in particular the underweight in the 2-year duration bucket of the Singapore government yield curve where yields rose.

3 Outlook and Strategy The first quarter of this year saw mounting geopolitical tension and rising market volatility. The trade dispute between the US and China is expected to continue into the second quarter and negotiations are likely to drag on over a protracted period of time, potentially damaging investor sentiment. However, our base case remains that a full-blown trade war is unlikely as both US and China have expressed willingness to negotiate. We expect that global growth should remain intact and provide a supportive backdrop for emerging market assets. In Singapore, the market expects the Monetary Authority of Singapore to tighten monetary policy at the bi-annual meeting in April by raising the SGD Nominal Effective Exchange Rate (NEER) slope. The US-China trade tension is not expected to directly impact Singapore and should be manageable given that Asia remains as a growth favourite for businesses and investors. However, a fullblown trade war could have an indirect impact on Singapore s growth. Although there has been a rise in capital expenditure (capex) intentions, the actual capex investment has not flowed through. A full-blown trade war would likely put a halt to any capex investment and as a result, affect the Singapore economy. New corporate bond issuance has been steady, particularly from the real estate sector. We continue to underweight duration bu t we would be looking to add to holdings should any further widening of spreads produce more attractive valuations.
