Defensive Income (OE) Portfolio Profile 31 August 2017 For professional advisers only - Not for use by or distribution to retail clients. Portfolio objective The strategy aims to deliver defensive total returns with an emphasis on also offering higher than average income. The portfolio may invest between 35% and 60% in global stock market investments subject to market conditions with the remainder in defensive asset classes. Asset breakdown Investors should note that this discretionary strategy is actively managed with a view to ensuring volatility remains consistent with the risk level. The asset allocation is likely to change in order to offer exposure to favoured asset classes and regions in line with Smith & Williamson s strategic views, and with the risk levels associated with the portfolio s objective. As a result the current mix of defensive and growth investments within the portfolio will change and therefore differ significantly over time.

Risk range Portfolios are aligned with Distribution Technology s risk profiles.
