2 Investment risks The value of investments and any income derived from them can go down as well as up as a result of market or currency movements and investors may not get back the original amount invested. The value of your investment is dependent on the supply and demand for the shares of the Investment Trust rather than its underlying assets. The value of your investment will not be the same as the value of the Investment Trust's underlying assets. Changes in rates of exchange may also reduce the value of your investment. Investments in smaller companies carry a higher degree of risk as their shares may be less liquid and investment values can be volatile. 2

8 Economic/political background Synchronised growth across the major global economies in 2017 US economy further stimulated by moves to cut corporate and personal taxes Interest rates on the way up in more countries as oil prices rebound Ongoing Brexit debate in the UK, economy unsurprisingly slowing European elections lead to renewed question marks in relation to further integration Trade war fears intensify, placing pressure on emerging markets Past performance should not be seen as an indication of future performance. 8
9 Our reaction to market developments Stayed underweight in UK, added to Asian and Japanese collective fund holdings Reduced exposure to some of the more cyclical industrial stocks trading on high multiples Looked to increase weightings in beneficiaries of higher energy prices Continued to favour lower leveraged companies and those with pricing power Gearing maintained at around 5% through the year 9

23 Outlook Global background still helpful for many companies though risks have risen with trade war developments Near-term equity valuation multiples are extended in most markets especially running into monetary policy tightening phase Dollar earnings more in favour for now, at the margin less positive on Europe Watching Brexit developments closely, cautious on domestic cyclicals given macro/political risks Focus on strong balance sheets, leverage likely to become less attractive characteristic Still identifying new ideas across markets, global small cap remains an attractive investment universe Source: BMO Global Asset Management. 23
