Report of the Manager During the period under review, 1 October 2013 to 31 March 2014, the St. James's Place UK and International Income Unit Trust Income unit offer price rose by 3.6% from 125.2p to 129.7p and the Accumulation unit offer price (in which revenue is reflected in the price rather than distributed) rose by 5.1% from 138.7p to 145.8p. On the 28 May 2014, the latest available date before the printing of this report, the Income unit offer price was 133.7p and the Accumulation unit offer price was 151.6p. The estimated yield was 3.60%. The Trust's Performance The performance of the Trust since its launch in October 2010 and over the period 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. St. James's Place UK and International Income Unit Trust Income units (offer to offer) Accumulation units (offer to offer) Indices - actual FTSE All-Share MSCI World (net income reinvested) Source: Lipper for Fund returns 18/10/10 to 30/09/13 to 31/03/14 31/03/14 % change % change +29.7 +3.6 +45.8 +5.1 +24.0 +3.3 +30.0 +5.3 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. Investment Adviser's Comments During the period under review, the UK market rose by 4.8% and the portfolio outperformed by 1%. In the early part of the period, the combination of some tentative improvement in the macro outlook, together with expectations of resumption in earnings growth, was encouraging for investors. However, of late, whilst there are still some positive signs from the US and some economies, the earnings growth the market craves remains as elusive as it has been for the last two or three years. This is partly due to adverse currency movements. The positive and negative contributors to performance broadly negated each other. The principle negatives were the difficulties at RSA as a consequence of the Irish fraud, and the government interventions affecting William Hill and the energy companies. On the positive side, our holdings in Laird and London Stock Exchange performed well, whilst the US railroad company, Norfolk Southern, continues to benefit from a strengthening economy. Finally, we were fortunate to benefit from the bid for Time Warner Cable from which we subsequently took profits. There were no thematic changes to the portfolio and we are comfortable with our cash position. We added to Sanofi, a European drug stock, and increased our position in Novartis at the expense of Roche. In the US, we bought the oil refiner HollyFrontier which is benefiting from shale gas. In the UK, we are attracted to the changes in the travel business at TUI Travel, which we think makes for a better, more sustainable cash flow profile than has been the case hitherto. We stand by our view that the withdrawal of quantitative easing ( tapering ), has already caused a volatile and difficult period for markets, and will continue to do so. However, over the longer term it is welcomed in as much as it represents a return to normality for economies. Nevertheless, in the absence of any renewed momentum in corporate profits, many companies have been revalued during the last two to three years and as a result there is limited scope for this to be a driver of markets. Therefore, we caution that a lack of earnings growth may make markets vulnerable. Artemis Investment Management LLP 14 April 2014 2

It was calculated using performance data up to 3 March 2014. The risk category is recalculated weekly, in October 2013 the SRRI changed from a category 6 to a category 5. * To 31 March 2014 3
