Fund Information Investment objective and policy The Schroder Dynamic Multi Asset Fund s (the fund ) investment objective is to deliver positive returns over a market cycle based on long term capital growth and income through investment in collective investment schemes as well as directly held transferable securities, derivatives, cash, deposits, warrants and money market instruments. The fund may gain exposure to alternative asset classes including but not limited to property, commodities, hedge funds and private equity directly where permitted or through investment in transferable securities and other permitted assets which themselves invest in these asset classes. Financial highlights Dealing price 30.4.18 31.10.17 % change A Income units 70.06p 70.67p (0.86) A Accumulation units 71.97p 71.70p 0.38 X Accumulation units 57.55p 57.04p 0.89 Z Income units 72.83p 73.50p (0.91) Z Accumulation units 78.92p 78.32p 0.77 Z Accumulation EUR Hedged units 111.40 111.20 0.18 The performance of a hedged unit class may differ from other unit classes of the fund because the return on unhedged unit classes is based on both the performance of the fund s investments and the performance of the portfolio currencies relative to sterling whereas the return on a hedged unit class is based only on the performance of the fund s investments.

Fund Information (continued) Ongoing charges figure For the period For the year For the year to 30.4.18 to 31.10.17 to 31.10.17 A Income units 1.39% 1 1.40% 1.40% 2 A Accumulation units 1.39% 1 1.40% 1.40% 2 X Accumulation units 3 0.05% 1 2 0.05% 0.05% 2 Z Income units 0.40% 1 2 0.40% 0.40% 2 Z Accumulation units 0.40% 1 2 0.40% 0.40% 2 Z Accumulation EUR Hedged units 0.50% 1 2 4 0.50% 5 0.40% 1 2 1 The Ongoing charges figure is annualised based on the fees incurred during the accounting period. 2 The expenses of the fund have been capped during the period/year. 3 The Annual management charge for X Accumulation units is invoiced directly to unitholders and is therefore not included in the Ongoing charges figure for that unit class. 4 The Ongoing charges figure includes the hedging programme cost of 0.10%. 5 The Ongoing charges figure includes the hedging programme cost of 0.10%. This has been disclosed for comparative purposes, previously this cost was charged to the unit class but was excluded from the Ongoing charges figure since the launch of the unit class. Total purchases and sales For the period For the year to 30.4.18 to 31.10.17 000 s 000 s Total purchases 521,415 942,357 Total sales 467,376 630,789 4 Schroder Dynamic Multi Asset Fund

Review of Investment Activities From 31 October 2017 to 30 April 2018, the price of Z Accumulation units on a dealing price to dealing price basis rose 0.77%. In comparison, the Consumer Price Index +4% increased by 0.83% 1. Co-Fund Manager: Johanna Kyrklund 1 Source: Office for National Statistics. Gains over the period mostly came from equities, despite difficulties in the first quarter of 2018. Within equities, our preference for emerging markets and the broad US market helped us. Fixed income positions lost value as yields rose, although this was partially offset by long emerging market debt positions. Currency was negative over the period, as sterling strengthened and the cost of hedging the US dollar rose. All in all, we are very conscious that we are in the late stages of the cycle and market prices have moved to reflect a lot of our views: US and emerging market equities have outperformed, the dollar has weakened and the Japanese yen and emerging market currencies have strengthened. We cannot afford to be complacent and have therefore increased diversification in our portfolio. Based on our indicators, the traffic light is still green but expensive valuations pose a speed limit to returns and we have shifted our strategy down a gear. Joined Schroders in March 2007 and is based in London Johanna leads the Multi-Asset Investments division, is a member of the Group Management Committee (GMC) and Chairs Global Asset Allocation Committee Responsible for investments on behalf of Multi-Asset clients globally and is the lead portfolio manager of the Schroder Diversified Growth Strategy Prior to joining Schroders, Johanna specialised in tactical asset allocation strategies From 2005 she worked at Insight Investment where she managed an unconstrained global macro absolute return fund.

The value of investments and the revenue from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

Risk Profile Risk and reward indicator Lower risk Potentially lower reward Higher risk Potentially higher reward 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The risk category is based upon the fund s risk target and there is no guarantee that the fund will achieve it. The fund is in this category because it can take higher risks in search of higher rewards and its price may rise and fall accordingly. The fund s risk category is not guaranteed to remain fixed and may change over time. A fund in the lowest category does not mean a risk free investment. Specific risks The fund is authorised as a non-ucits retail scheme. The investment and borrowing powers of these types of scheme are wider than those for UCITS funds whilst still aiming to provide a prudent spread of risk. The fund invests in assets which are exposed to currencies other than sterling. Exchange rates may cause the value of overseas investments and the revenue from them to rise or fall. For non-hedged unit classes exchange rates may cause the value of overseas investments and the revenue from them to rise or fall. There is no guarantee that the hedging strategy applied in hedged unit classes will entirely eliminate the adverse effects of changes in exchange rates between the base currency and the portfolio currencies. In addition, it should be noted that hedging transactions will be entered into whether or not the currency of a hedged unit class is declining or increasing in value in relation to the base currency or portfolio currencies. Hedged unit classes aim to provide investors with a return correlated to the portfolio currencies performance of the fund by reducing the effect of exchange rate fluctuations between the base currency and the portfolio currencies. The fund invests in less developed markets which are generally less well regulated than the UK. They may be less liquid and may have less reliable custody arrangements. The fund invests in emerging markets and the Far East. This involves a high degree of risk and should be seen as long term in nature. The fund is index unconstrained and has the potential for greater volatility. The fund may invest in unregulated collective investment schemes, which involves a higher degree of risk as they are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The funds may not be readily realisable and priced less frequently than listed shares or authorised unit trusts, and therefore price swings may be more volatile. More than 35% of the property of the fund may be invested in Government securities. The fund may invest in higher yielding bonds (non-investment grade). The risk of default is higher with non-investment grade bonds than with investment grade bonds. Higher yielding bonds may also have an increased potential to erode your capital sum than lower yielding bonds. The fund may invest in a wide range of derivatives and alternative investments (including commodities, hedge funds, real estate funds and private equity) in order to meet its investment objectives. One of the aims of the Manager is to achieve volatility targets for the portfolio and in order to do this leverage will be used. The use of leverage can increase gains as well as losses and expose the fund to increased risk. Whilst it is intended that the additional risk that leverage exposes the fund to is controlled by value at risk methodology, there can be no guarantee that this risk control may be achieved especially under extreme or changing market conditions. 6 Schroder Dynamic Multi Asset Fund

Risk Profile (continued) The fund may use derivatives for specific investment purposes. This involves a higher degree of risk and may lead to a higher volatility in the unit prices of the fund. For these reasons, the purchase of units should not normally be regarded as a short term investment. Schroder Dynamic Multi Asset Fund 7
