1 The Global Focused Strategies (GFS) Fund Guide A smoother investment journey October 2016 Standard Life Investments has not considered the suitability of investment against your individual needs and risk tolerance. To help you understand this fund, please read the Key Investor Information Document or Prospectus, or seek assistance from your professional adviser. If you are in any doubt as to whether this fund is suitable for you, you should seek advice. An adviser is likely to charge for advice. We are unable to provide investment advice.
2 About GFS GFS is a multi-asset fund for investors seeking an attractive return on their investments without the extreme up-and-down swings that typically accompany investment markets. Specifically, we aim to generate a return, before fees, of cash % per year over rolling three-year periods. This return target is substantially higher than the return you might expect from a long-term investment in global equities (which has been around cash +4% per year 2 ). Depending on market movements and the fund managers investment decisions, there will be years when we deliver more or less than this target, and we may even lose money. However, when viewed over a longer timeframe (our investment horizon is three years), we expect to deliver an average annual return of cash +7.5%. Please note that we cannot guarantee the fund will achieve this return - and as with any investment you may get back less than you invested. At the same time, our objective is to achieve this growth with as little risk to your money as possible commensurate with its return target. We expect GFS to be less volatile (a measure of how much prices rise and fall) than investing in equities. In fact, we expect GFS to show less than two-thirds of the volatilty of global equities. We are therefore seeking to provide more reliable and substantial capital growth with a smoother investment journey. 1 By cash, we mean the rate at which leading UK banks lend to one another. You can check the current rate at the Bank of England s website (www. bankofengland.co.uk: Annual average Sterling 6-month mean interbank lending rate IUAAVSMA). As at 31 December 2015, it is around 0.74%. 2 Source: Barclays Equity Gilt Study 2014.

Past performance is not a guide to the future. GFS makes extensive use of derivatives for the purpose of efficient portfolio management and to seek its investment objective. The value of assets held in GFS might rise and fall because of exchange rate movements. For a full list of risks, please refer to the prospectus.
4 What is different about GFS? A wider investment universe Alongside traditional investments in equities, bonds and property, we use advanced investments across many other markets, increasing our chances of finding good money-making ideas. For instance, we can use these advanced investments to seek a profit from our views on interest rate movements, currency exchange rates and inflation expectations. A greater spread of risk By investing across many different markets and types of investment, we are able to spread risk much further. We deliberately choose investments for GFS that are not all affected by the same things. In other words, GFS puts your eggs in many different baskets. Potential to make money in falling markets GFS managers can access a wide range of investment tools and techniques, to try and generate a positive return even if investment markets are falling. However, when markets behave very differently from the managers expectations, then GFS is unlikely to make money.
5 How GFS works To seek the cash +7.5% target, we use a wide range of investments from across global markets. This means there are multiple opportunities to generate returns while also spreading risk and allowing GFS to better withstand periods of market turbulence although it can also lose money, depending on the managers investment decisions. We make extensive use of financial instruments such as derivatives, financial instruments whose value is derived from one or more underlying assets, to help us meet return targets, and to allow us to invest in an efficient, cost-effective way. We divide the investments for GFS into four main types. Directional strategies Some market prices tend to revert back to similar levels over the long term, despite seeing significant movements over the short and medium term. For instance, in June 2013, 1 was worth around US$1.5, which is roughly the same as in However, between those dates, the two currencies moved up and down a lot. For example in 2007, 1 was worth around US$2. We seek to make money from these upwards and downwards movements of markets that over very long periods may be quite static. These markets include: currencies interest rates inflation volatility. Relative value strategies We can take advantage of differences between two markets or two groups of investments, which we believe are mispriced relative to one another. These discrepancies might arise across: geographies sectors company size asset classes. For example, in tough economic times the share prices of smaller companies tend to fall more than the share prices of larger and more diverse companies. We can therefore implement a position favouring larger companies over smaller companies. Importantly, the way we invest means that even if all share prices fall, we can still make money as long as the share prices of larger companies fall by less than those of smaller companies. Traditional investment methods We invest in shares, bonds and property across different countries and sectors, choosing what we believe to be the most attractive investment opportunities. We review our choices regularly and make changes where necessary, as we seek to ensure the investments we have chosen remain appropriate. An example is our investment in the European equity telecoms sector, which we expect to benefit from easing regulatory and competitive pressures, and improving growth opportunities. Security-specific Relative value strategies investments Sometimes the impact of broad economic or We political can take changes advantage can have of a particular impact differences on a specific between group two of companies. markets For or example, two groups increasing of investments. demand from For China for instance, meat has if been we benefiting expect German producers of beef, companies poultry and to pork do better in Brazil. than Therefore, French we bought companies, the corporate we can bonds invest of three to make strongly financed money Brazilian from this protein view. producers Importantly, whom we expect the way to gain we most invest from means this trend. that even if the share prices of both French and German companies fall, we can still make money, as long as the shares of German companies fall less than those of French companies.
6 The team behind GFS A team of over 50 skilled investment professionals with an average of 16 years industry experience manages GFS. The team is split into three groups, working closely together to choose the right investments for GFS: investment managers strategists investment risk experts. Investment managers Our investment managers search for opportunities they believe will make money given the big picture. They find their ideas from many different sources: for instance, from the findings of our strategists or from our equity, bond and commercial property experts. Our investment managers thoroughly analyse each idea before they consider it for GFS. We use our own tried and tested methods to help us find good investments. We also continually check the investments we already hold, to make sure each one is still suitable. Strategists The job of our strategists is to give advice on big picture world developments that might affect our investment decisions (for instance, how US employment figures might influence US interest rates). Investment risk experts The aim of our risk experts is to ensure that the investment managers thoroughly understand the risk implications of each opportunity. This helps the managers choose investments for GFS that give you as smooth a journey as possible.
