Report of the Manager The Report of the Manager consists of The Trust's Performance, Risk and Reward Profile, Investment Adviser's Comments and Portfolio Statement. The Trust's Performance The performance of the Trust since its launch in January 1992, over the five year period since March 2011 and over the year under review is shown below, together with figures for the most commonly quoted indices in comparable markets where the major proportion of the Trust has been invested. Income units (offer to offer) Accumulation units (offer to offer) Indices - actual MSCI AC Asia Pacific (Total Return) 01/01/92 to 31/03/11 to 31/03/15 to 31/03/16 31/03/16 31/03/16 % change % change % change +335.4 +5.9-12.7 +410.8 +10.7-12.0 +171.2 +21.7-6.4 Source: Lipper for Fund returns REMEMBER THAT THE PRICE OF UNITS AND REVENUE FROM THEM MAY GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. Risk and Reward Profile The synthetic risk and reward indicator for the St. James s Place Far East Unit Trust, as disclosed in its most recent Key Investor Information Document (KIID), is a 5. It was calculated using performance data up to 1 February 2016. The risk category is recalculated weekly and during the year under review, the risk category did not change. Investment Adviser's Comments The fund underperformed the MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index, as asset allocation and stock selection were negative. Asian stock markets fell in the review year, as volatility in China s stocks and currency amid slowing growth, commodity weakness, and uncertainty over US monetary policy and negative interest rates overshadowed improving risk appetite towards the period-end, with the Federal Reserve turning dovish, and emerging economies and commodities stabilising somewhat. The exposure to Australia, China and Hong Kong detracted but this was mitigated by Taiwan s positive contribution. Top contributors to performance in the portfolio were Japan Tobacco the cigarette-maker s 2015 results met expectations; it also raised its dividend pay-out; and Samsung Electronics the company took steps to boost shareholder value as it sought to repurchase 11.3 trillion South Korean won in shares, while growing its dividend. Top detractors included Standard Chartered despite sluggish operating conditions, we believe the management and board changes, with a renewed focus on profitability and risks, will put the bank in good stead and the oil major PetroChina, which was hurt by a steep fall in the oil price to below US$40 a barrel. We initiated a position in the preference shares of Amorepacific Corp, a leading Korean cosmetics player with a burgeoning Chinese business, given their attractive discount to the ordinary shares. We introduced China s Anhui Conch Cement, a market leader with the lowest cost; Indonesia s Bank Central Asia, with its impressive track record; and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, given its solid prospects. We subscribed to Standard Chartered s rights issue, given the attractive discount. Conversely, we sold PTTEP and Woolworths. 2

Report of the Manager (continued) In Japan, we divested Canon, owing to its weakening fundamentals, but introduced Keyence, a leading sensor-maker; Nippon Paint, given its strong position in China; and Yahoo Japan, which operates the country s biggest internal portal. A lack of strong fundamental catalysts means that confidence is likely to remain weak, growth anaemic, and markets volatile. That said, the earnings cycle outside the commodities sector and China appears to have bottomed. Policy-makers have also remained largely accommodative to support growth. Public and private sector balance sheets are robust. This should put Asia in good stead when the cycle turns. Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited 14 April 2016 3

Statement of the Manager's Responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements of the Trust The rules in the Financial Conduct Authority's Collective Investment Schemes Sourcebook ("the Rules") require the Manager to prepare Financial Statements for each annual accounting period which give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Trust as at the end of the year and of the net revenue and the net capital losses on the property of the Trust for the year then ended. In preparing the Financial Statements the Manager is required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; comply with the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice relating to Authorised Funds and the Trust Deed; follow applicable UK Accounting Standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice); and prepare Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in operation. The Manager is responsible for keeping proper accounting records and for the management of the Trust in accordance with its Trust Deed, Prospectus and the Rules. The Manager has a general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to it to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the Trustee to the unitholders of St. James s Place Far East Unit Trust Trustee's responsibilities The Trustee is responsible for the safekeeping of all the property of the Trust (other than tangible moveable property) which is entrusted to it and for the collection of income that arises from that property. It is the duty of the Trustee to take reasonable care to ensure that the Trust is managed in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority s Collective Investment Schemes Sourcebook ( COLL ), the Trust Deed and Prospectus, in relation to the pricing of, and dealings in, units in the Trust; the application of income of the Trust; and the investment and borrowing powers and restrictions applicable to the Trust. Report of the Trustee to the unitholders of St. James s Place Far East Unit Trust for the year ended 31st March 2016 Having carried out such procedures as we considered necessary to discharge our responsibilities as Trustee of the Trust, it is our opinion, based on the information available to us and the explanations provided, that, in all material respects, the Manager: (i) has carried out the issue, sale, redemption and cancellation, and calculation of the price of the Trust s units and the application of the Trust s income in accordance with the Sourcebook, the Trust Deed and Prospectus, and (ii) has, observed the investment and borrowing powers and restrictions applicable to the Trust.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Unitholders of Our opinion In our opinion, 's financial statements, (the "financial statements"): give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Trust as at 31 March 2016 and of the net revenue and the net capital losses of the scheme property of the Trust for the year then ended; and have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, the Statement of Recommended Practice for UK Authorised Funds, the Collective Investment Schemes sourcebook and the Trust Deed. What we have audited The financial statements, which are prepared by St. James s Place Unit Trust Group Limited (the Authorised Fund Manager ), comprise: the balance sheet of the Trust as at 31 March 2016 ; the statement of total return of the Trust for the year then ended; the statement of change in net assets attributable to unitholders of the Trust for the year then ended; the notes to the Trust s financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information; and the distribution tables. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), the Statement of Recommended Practice Financial Statements of UK Authorised Funds issued by the Investment Management Association (the Statement of Recommended Practice for UK Authorised Funds ), the Collective Investment Schemes sourcebook and the Trust Deed. In applying the financial reporting framework, the Authorised Fund Manager has made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. In making such estimates, they have made assumptions and considered future events. Opinions on matters prescribed by the Collective Investment Schemes sourcebook In our opinion: we have obtained all the information and explanations we consider necessary for the purposes of the audit; and the information given in the Authorised Fund Manager s Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. Other matters on which we are required to report by exception Propriety of accounting records and information and explanations received Under the Collective Investment Schemes sourcebook we are required to report to you if, in our opinion: proper accounting records have not been kept; or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. 11

Independent Auditors' Report to the Unitholders of Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit Our responsibilities and those of the Authorised Fund Manager (continued) As explained more fully in the Statement of the Manager's Responsibilities set out on page 9, the Authorised Fund Manager is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and ISAs (UK & Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board s Ethical Standards for Auditors. This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the Trust s unitholders as a body in accordance with paragraph 4.5.12 of the Collective Investment Schemes sourcebook and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing. What an audit of financial statements involves We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) ( ISAs (UK & Ireland) ). An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Trust s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Authorised Fund Manager; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. we primarily focus our work in these areas by assessing the directors' judgements against available evidence, forming our own judgements, and evaluating the disclosures in the financial statements. we test and examine information, using sampling and other auditing techniques, to the extent we consider necessary to provide a reasonable basis for us to draw conclusions. We obtain audit evidence through testing the effectiveness of controls, substantive procedures or a combination of both. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Annual Report (the Annual Report ) to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Chartered Accountants and Statutory Auditors Edinburgh 27 May 2016 The maintenance and integrity of the St. James s Place website is the responsibility of the Fund Manager; the work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially presented on the website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 12

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 1. Accounting and Distribution policies (a) Basis of accounting The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of investments, in compliance with the Financial Conduct Authority's Collective Investment Schemes Sourcebook. They have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 (The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102) and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for Financial Statements of Authorised Funds issued by the Investment Management Association May 2014 (IMA SORP 2014). Both FRS 102 and SORP 2014 have been adopted in the current year. The changes in the SORP 2014 are presentational only and there have been no changes to any figures detailed within the financial statements. The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. (b) Revenue Dividends receivable from equity investments are credited to the revenue account when the investments are first quoted ex-dividend. Dividends from unquoted stocks are credited to revenue when the dividend is declared. Dividends from Real Estate Investment Trusts ('REITs') are recognised as distributable income when the securities are quoted ex-dividend. Revenue from other authorised collective investment schemes are recognised when the investments are quoted ex-dividend. Management fee rebates from underlying funds will be taken to revenue or capital depending on the treatment adopted in the underlying funds. (c) Expenses All expenses of the Trust are recognised on an accruals basis and are deducted from revenue with the exception of handling charges and stamp duty reserve tax which are deducted from capital. (d) Valuation of investments Listed investments have been valued at bid market value at 12.00 midday on 31/03/2016 (31/03/15: bid market value at 12.00 midday), net of any accrued interest which is included in the Balance Sheet as a revenue related item. Authorised unit trusts are valued at cancellation price for funds managed by the manager and a bid price for all other funds. Suspended, delisted, unquoted or manually priced securities are valued by the manager taking into account, where appropriate, latest dealing prices, financial performance and other relevant factors. (e) Foreign exchange Assets and liabilities have been translated into sterling at the exchange rates prevailing at the Balance Sheet date. Transactions involving foreign currencies are converted at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. (f) Taxation Provision is made for corporation tax at the current rate on the excess of taxable revenue over allowable expenses. (g) UK dividend revenue is disclosed net of any related tax credit. Overseas dividends continue to be disclosed gross of any foreign tax suffered, the tax element being separately disclosed in the tax note. Deferred tax is provided for on the liability method on all timing differences. A deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that a timing difference will be of future benefit. Distribution policy The manager has chosen to pay all revenue less revenue expenses and taxation as a final distribution at the end of the accounting period. In the case of income unitholders this will be paid as a distribution. In the case of accumulation unitholders the distribution will be reinvested. Equalisation on distributions received is deducted from the cost of the investment. 15

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) (h) Equalisation Equalisation applies only to units purchased during the distribution period. It is the accrued revenue element of the purchase price of all such units and is refunded to holders of these units as a return of capital. Being capital it is not liable to income tax, but must be deducted from the cost of units for capital gains tax purposes. (i) Special dividends Special dividends are treated as revenue or a repayment of capital reflecting the facts of each particular case. (j) Scrip dividends The ordinary element of stocks received in lieu of cash dividends is recognised as revenue and where applicable, is included in the distribution. In the case of enhanced scrip dividends, the value of the enhancement is treated as capital. 2.

Deferred taxation: There is no provision required for deferred taxation at the balance sheet date. Factors that may affect future tax charges At the year end, after offset against revenue taxable on receipt, there is a potential deferred tax asset of 22,519,355 (31/03/15: 18,252,683) relating to surplus management expenses. No deferred tax asset was recognised in the current or prior year as it was considered unlikely the Trust would generate sufficient taxable profits in the future to utilise these amounts.

Related party transactions St. James's Place Unit Trust Group Limited together with the subsidiaries including associates are related parties and regarded as controlling parties by virtue of having the ability to act in respect of operations of the Trust. The Manager's service charge paid to St. James's Place Unit Trust Group Limited is shown in note 4 and details of the value of units created and cancelled by St. James's Place Unit Trust Group Limited are shown in the Statement of Change in Net Assets Attributable to Unitholders. The net balances due to St. James's Place Unit Trust Group Limited at the year end in respect of these transactions was 835,993 (31/03/15: due from 1,251,288). The Manager, St. James's Place Unit Trust Group Limited, is a subsidiary of St. James's Place Wealth Management Group plc ('SJPWMG'). Two fellow subsidiaries of SJPWMG, St. James's Place International plc and St. James's Place UK plc, invest some of their life and pension policyholders' funds into the. The value of these investments at the year end was 949,934,590 (31/03/15: 1,089,123,103). 13. Capital commitments and contingent liabilities On 31 March 2016, the Trust had no capital commitments (31/03/15: nil) and no contingent liabilities (31/03/15: nil). 14. Financial instruments In accordance with the investment objectives, as stated on page 24, the Trust held certain financial instruments. These comprise: Equity shares and units in collective investment schemes; and Cash (including overdrafts) and short-term debtors and creditors that arise directly from its operations. The rules in the Scheme Documents set out the financial instruments in which the Trust may invest. The Trust's use of financial instruments during the year satisfies these requirements. 18

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) 15. Risk management The Manager s objectives in managing investment risk are to ensure that the investment profile of the Trust is consistent with its stated investment objectives and risk profile, and to ensure appropriate liquidity. Day to day responsibility for managing investment risk is delegated to the Investment Adviser, who is required to manage the Trust in accordance with FCA regulations, the Prospectus and the terms of their Investment Management Agreement with the Manager. The Manager monitors the activities of the Investment Adviser, through a variety of mechanisms including the following: Initial and ongoing due diligence of Investment Adviser investment and risk management procedures including on site reviews; Periodic reviews of the investments held by the Trust and their compliance with investment objectives and liquidity requirements; and Ongoing review of the investment performance of the Trust against appropriate benchmarks. The main risks arising from the Trust's financial instruments are market price risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Manager's policies for managing these risks are summarised below. These policies have remained unchanged since the beginning of the year to which these financial statements relate (same for 2015). (a) Market price risk Market price risk represents the potential loss the Trust might suffer through holding market positions in the face of price movements. The Manager has delegated the investment management of the portfolio to an external Investment Adviser who determines the asset allocation and minimises the risk associated with particular countries or industry sectors, whilst continuing to follow the Trust s investment objectives. The Manager has the responsibility for monitoring the portfolio to ensure compliance with the investment objectives and that an acceptable risk and reward profile is maintained. The sensitivity of the fund to market risk is calculated using the Value-at-Risk (VaR) approach. VaR is a mathematical-statistical concept and is commonly used as a standard measure of risk in the financial sector. The maximum potential loss that a fund could suffer under normal market conditions within a given time horizon and a certain degree of confidence is estimated. An absolute VaR is calculated using the historic return series of each fund. Using the Historical VaR approach, a 1% 20-day VaR using 10 years of historical daily data is calculated. An annualised VaR limit of 20% is considered for the fund. The actual VaR is summarised in the table below: Lowest monthly VaR Highest monthly VaR Average monthly VaR 01/04/15 to 31/03/16 01/04/14 to 31/03/15 % % 12.11 12.21 12.21 12.29 12.18 12.22 19

Notes to the Financial Statements (b) Foreign currency risk (continued) The Manager has identified three principal areas where foreign currency risk could impact the Trust: Movements in exchange rates affect the value of investments; Movements in exchange rates affect short term timing differences; and Movements in exchange rates affect revenue received. The Trust may be subject to short term exposure to exchange rate movements, for instance where there is a difference between the date an investment purchase or sale is entered into and the date when settlement of the proceeds occurs. When the Trust enters into such a transaction which will involve the buying or selling of foreign currency in order to complete, a foreign exchange contract is entered into as soon as possible after the initial transaction in order to minimise the exchange rate risk. The Trust receives revenue in currencies other than sterling and movements in exchange rates can affect the sterling values of this revenue. The Trust converts all receipts of revenue into sterling on or near the date of receipt, it does not however hedge or otherwise seek to avoid exchange rate risk on revenue accrued but not received. Currency GBP AUD HKD IDR JPY KRW MYR PHP SGD THB TWD USD Total (c) Interest rate risk (d) The revenue and capital value of the Trust s investments can be significantly affected by currency translation movements as a proportion of the Trust s assets and revenue are denominated in currencies other than sterling, which is the Trust s functional currency. The overall currency exposure for this fund is reduced by the open forwards exposure. An analysis for all currencies at the year end is shown below: Net foreign currency assets 31/03/16 31/03/15 Total Total 000 000 94,608 103,526 101,409 141,146 256,761 303,771 37,692 25,399 349,676 388,378 57,185 59,963 21,573 19,925 38,146 42,430 207,313 225,849 30,459 45,374 65,740 74,917 120,588 130,935 1,381,150 1,561,613 Interest receivable on bank deposits or payable on bank overdraft positions will be affected by fluctuations in interest rates. Credit risk Credit risk occurs where there is a risk associated with the uncertainty of a counterparty s ability to meet its obligations. This risk is managed by reviewing the counterparty s credit rating, at the time of purchase and on an ongoing basis, and ensuring that the portfolio is sufficiently diversified. The impact of movements in credit rating and spread, and their effect on market prices, is considered to be part of market price risk, which is discussed above. The Trust s investments and cash are held on its behalf by State Street Bank and Trust Company (acting as agent), the custodian to the Trust, and its appointed sub custodians. Bankruptcy or insolvency of the custodian or its sub custodians may cause the Trust s rights with respect to securities to be delayed. This risk is managed through ongoing monitoring of the custodian and periodic reviews of its procedures for selecting and monitoring sub custodians, together with ad hoc reviews of custodian and sub custodian credit ratings. 20

Notes to the Financial Statements (e) (f) (g) Maturity profile of financial liabilities (continued) Certain transactions in securities that the Trust enters into expose it to the risk that the counterparty will not deliver the investment (purchase) or cash (sale) after the fund has fulfilled its responsibilities. The external Investment Adviser selects acceptable counterparties through which investments are bought and sold. The Manager has responsibility for monitoring the process by which these counterparties are selected to minimise risk. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises where liabilities cannot be met when they fall due or can only be met at an uneconomic price. For instance, this could arise if the Trust faces significant redemptions in a short period of time. In order to manage this risk the manager monitors the Trust with the aim of ensuring that it contains diversified liquid assets, that the Trust possesses sufficient liquidity for the purpose of meeting the redemption of units, and that the Trust has sources of borrowing available to it. Derivative risk The Manager may use derivative instruments to hedge the value of the investment portfolio against market and stock specific risk through investment in warrants, options and futures. The purpose of the financial instruments is efficient portfolio management. In particular futures may be used to implement the investment policy in a timely manner and to manage market risk arising from the time lag between funds being receivable or payable by the Trust and investment and disinvestment in underlying securities. No such derivatives were held by the Trust in the year to 31 March 2016. All financial liabilities of the Trust at the year end are due to settle in one year or less, or on demand. (h) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities There is no material difference between the value of the financial assets and liabilities, as shown in the Balance Sheet, and their fair values. 16.

Fair value The intention of a fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an asset or a liability could be exchanged in the market conditions prevailing at the measurement date. The measurement assumes the exchange is an orderly transaction (that is, it is not a forced transaction, involuntary liquidation or distress sale) between knowledgeable, willing participants on an independent basis. The purpose of the fair value hierarchy is to prioritise the inputs that should be used to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities. The highest priority is given to quoted prices at which a transaction can be entered into and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fund has early adopted the March 2016 amendment to section 34 of FRS102 (Fair Value Hierarchy disclosures that simplify preparation of financial instrument disclosure), which is applicable to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 with earlier application permitted. In accordance with FRS102 the fund classifies fair value measurement under the following levels: 31/03/2016 31/03/2015 Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Valuation technique 000 000 000 000 Level 1 1,258,048-1,436,521 - Level 2 77,271-83,781 - Level 3 - - - - Total fair value 1,335,319-1,520,302 - Level 1: The unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable (i.e. developed using market data) for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Inputs are unobservable (i.e. for which market data is unavailable) for the asset or liability. 22

General Information The Trust is an authorised Unit Trust scheme under section 243 of the Financial Services and Markets Act (2000) and is constituted by a Trust Deed dated 6 December 1991. The Unit Trust is subject to the rules of the Financial Conduct Authority's Collective Investment Scheme Sourcebook and is classified as a UCITS Scheme. The Trust Manager The Manager of the Trust is St. James's Place Unit Trust Group Limited which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Investment Objectives The aim of the Scheme is capital growth from investment principally in the stock markets of Japan, the Far East and the Pacific Basin, which may include investments that are listed, registered or trading within this area. The Scheme is permitted to invest in derivative and forward transactions for the purposes of efficient portfolio management (including hedging). It is the Manager's intention that the assets of the Unit Trust will be invested so that the Unit Trust will be eligible for inclusion in an ISA. Unit Dealings Dealings on the Trust take place on a daily basis. Purchase or sale instructions can be made by telephone or in writing to St. James's Place Unit Trust Group Limited, PO Box 9034, Chelmsford, CM99 2XA, United Kingdom, freephone: 0800 027 1031. The Manager adopts a policy of forward pricing, i.e. the order will be transacted on the dealing day following receipt of the client's instructions, or if received before noon, on that dealing day. In the case of telephone purchases of units from the Manager, settlement must be by return of post after receipt of the contract note. In the case of telephone redemptions, the proceeds will not become payable until the receipt at the Administration Centre of a written request. A contract note confirming the subscription or redemption price and the number of units involved will be forwarded, together with a cancellation notice, where appropriate, on the next business day. The most recent issue and redemption prices will be published on the Manager's website: www.sjp.co.uk and are available by calling the Administration Centre on 0800 027 1031. Minimum Investment The minimum lump sum investment is 1,500, thereafter the minimum additional investment is 1,000. The minimum monthly investment is 150 and the minimum monthly increment is 50. The minimum annual investment is 1,500 and the minimum annual increment is 500. Management Charges With effect from 26 October 2015 the Manager changed the charging structure of the Scheme. The annual management charge has been adjusted to include many of the predictable costs, such as trustee fees and administration fees, which were previously charged directly to the Scheme, and to exclude the fees for Investment Advisers, which are now charged directly to the Scheme. These changes were presentational only and there has been no overall increase in the total charges met by the Scheme. In addition, the way the annual management charge is calculated has been changed. The charge was previously calculated monthly, based on the Scheme value on the first business day of the month; with effect from 26 October 2015 it is calculated daily, based on the Scheme value every day. The Trust Deed permits the following management charges which are receivable by the Manager: (a) A Preliminary Charge of 5 per cent which is included in the offer price of the Units. (b) An Annual Management Charge at a rate of 1.5 per cent (1.36 per cent prior to 26 October 2015) of the value of the Trust. 24

General Information (continued) Income Distributions Income distributions are made annually on or before the 31 May. Accumulation Distributions Revenue due to accumulation unitholders is reflected in the price of their units. Tax Vouchers Income unitholders that receive income distributions by direct credit and accumulation unitholders (where the distribution income is reinvested) receive an annual consolidated tax voucher in May with all the relevant payment and tax information required to complete a tax return. Tax vouchers will be enclosed if income unitholders receive payment by cheque. Report A report is sent semi-annually to all unitholders on or before 31 May and 30 November. Capital Gains Tax The Trust is not liable to tax on capital gains and any individual holding units will not be liable to capital gains tax unless the total chargeable gains for the tax year 2016/2017 exceed 11,100 (2015/2016 11,100). To calculate capital gains on accumulation units, the total amount of reinvested net revenue (shown on the annual tax credit vouchers) should be added to the base cost of the units purchased. Unitholders should consult their professional advisers for any advice regarding their tax position. Remuneration St. James s Place PLC ( SJP PLC ) personnel providing services to St. James s Place Unit Trust Group Limited ( the Manager ) are subject to the SJP PLC Remuneration Policy (the Remuneration Policy ). The Remuneration Policy reflects the remuneration requirements of the UCITS V Directive (2014/91/EU). Details of the Remuneration Policy are available through www1.sjp.co.uk/about-st-james-place/our-responsibilities/corporate-governance which is updated periodically to reflect changes to the policy. Following the implementation of UCITS V in the UK on 18 March 2016, all authorised UCITS Managers are required to comply with the UCITS V Remuneration Code from the start of their next accounting year. Under the UCITS V Directive, the Manager is required to disclose information relating to the remuneration paid to its staff for the financial year, split into fixed and variable remuneration. The Manager s Financial Year end is 31 December, it is therefore anticipated that the Manager s Remuneration Policy and associated financial disclosures will be made within the Annual Reports starting from 31 December 2017, following its first full performance period. Prior to this date, and in line with the FCA's guidance on the UCITS V remuneration disclosures, the Manager would be part way through its first performance period and the information available would not be relevant or provide a proper basis for comparison. 25
