Strategic Advisers Emerging Markets Fund of Funds Key Takeaways For the fiscal year ending February 28, 2018, the Fund's Retail Class shares gained 30.75%, roughly in line with the 30.97% return of the benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) Index. The positioning of underlying managers vis-à-vis information technology stocks and China had a major impact on their relative performance this period. Versus the benchmark, Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund was the top contributor, outpacing the MSCI EM index due to strong selection across several sectors and in China. T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Stock Fund and Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund also helped, contributing about equally. Lazard Emerging Markets Equity Fund was the biggest relative detractor, partly due to poor selection in technology, primarily in China. In addition, Lazard's value-driven investment strategy was out of favor this period. Acadian Emerging Markets Portfolio also weighed on the Fund's relative performance. As of period end, Portfolio Manager Wilfred Chilangwa believes global growth trends and solid corporate earnings may continue to provide a positive fundamental environment for EM stocks, despite elevated valuations in certain sectors. MARKET RECAP Stocks entered 2018 reinforced by accelerating corporate earnings, synchronous global economic growth and optimism around U.S. tax reform. Volatility spiked in February, though, amid fear that interest rates could rise faster than expected. Nevertheless, the MSCI World ex USA Index gained 19.12% for the 12 months ending February 28, 2018, aided partly by a generally weak U.S. dollar. Within the index, growth- led value-oriented stocks, and small-caps bested largecaps. Certain election results in continental Europe (+24%) suggested ebbing political risk there, whereas bumpy Brexit negotiations and sterling strength hindered the U.K. (+15%). Central-bank accommodation helped Japan (+22%) overcome recent yen strength and outperform the rest of the Asia-Pacific group (+15%). Meanwhile, commodity-price volatility weighed on Canada (+7%). Sector-wise, information technology (+36%) was lifted by software, semiconductor and internetrelated names. Financials (+21%) rode rising interest rates that, at the same time, hurt real estate (+14%) and three other "bond proxy" sectors: consumer staples (+12%), utilities (+12%) and telecom services (+8%). Demand from China aided materials (+24%) and industrials (+24%). Energy (+14%) and health care (+10%) rallied from earlyperiod difficulty. Elsewhere, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 30.97% for the year, notably supported by China plus Brazil, Russia and India. Not FDIC Insured May Lose Value No Bank Guarantee

Q&A An interview with Portfolio Manager Wilfred Chilangwa Fund Facts Trading Symbol: Wilfred Chilangwa Portfolio Manager FLILX Start Date: May 02, 2012 Size (in millions): $16.37 Investment Approach Strategic Advisers Emerging Markets Fund of Funds (the Fund) is a multi-manager investment strategy that seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio of emerging-markets equity securities. The Fund provides diversified exposure to multiple investment vehicles including Fidelity and non-fidelity mutual funds, and, at times, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) selected from what we believe are the best ideas of Strategic Advisers' research department. We evaluate the tradeoff between cost, liquidity and investment flexibility to determine the optimal investment mix. Our investment process emphasizes prudent manager selection based on the view that different investment approaches may outperform at different times over a full market cycle, and that combining these investment disciplines may result in a more consistent performance profile. We believe the ability to utilize the distinctive skills of a variety of managers helps provide investment diversification and also may provide the portfolio manager(s) more flexibility to invest more adeptly throughout the market cycle, and potentially allow for better risk management. Q: Wilfred, how did the Fund perform for the 12 months ending February 28, 2018 The Fund's Retail Class shares gained 30.75%, performing roughly in line with the 30.97% return of the benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets Index but outpacing our peer group average. The positioning of underlying managers visà-vis information technology stocks and China had a major impact on their relative performance the past 12 months. Q: What was the investment environment like during the review period Bolstered in part by a generally weaker U.S. dollar, emerging markets (EM) spearheaded the global stock rally. EM large-cap stocks outperformed their small-cap corollaries, and the EM growth segment topped its valueoriented counterpart. Emerging Asia was the top-performing region, led by robust returns from stocks traded in Hong Kong (+60%) and China (+42%). Among larger index members, South Africa (+42%), South Korea (+29%) and Russia (+29%) also posted strong results. From a sector perspective, information technology (+48%), an area favored by growth managers, was the top performer in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, fueled largely by strength among internet-related firms based in China. The rise of technology companies represents a major reversal from earlier years, when banks, utilities and commodity producers dominated stock trading in the developing world. Interestingly, in 1995, when global investing in EM stocks started to accelerate, tech shares accounted for only 1.5% of the EM index, according to MSCI. Today, tech firms make up about 27% of the index. Elsewhere, the health care (+34%) and real estate (+33%) sectors also outperformed the MSCI EM index, while energy (31%) and financials (+31%) performed roughly in line. By contrast, more-defensive, "bond-proxy" sectors lagged, hampered largely by rising interest rates. Telecommunication services (+10%), utilities (+11%) and consumer staples (+18%) generated respectable gains but trailed the index by sizable margins. 2 For definitions, fund risks and other important information, please see the Definitions and Important Information section of this Q&A.

Q: How did your investment strategy fare in this environment I think the Fund's diversification across different investment styles, which includes substantial exposure to growthoriented managers, helped it stay close to the benchmark. Manager selection and style diversification are key ways in which I seek to add value. I work closely with our fund analysts to identify managers I want to invest with then allocate assets based on my conviction in each manager's strategy, with an eye toward its risk-management role within the portfolio. Q: Which managers contributed versus the benchmark Overall, the way in which managers were positioned relative to technology stocks and China had a major impact on their performance this period. Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund was the top contributor. This manager beat the MSCI EM index by a sizable margin, led by strong stock selection in financials, consumer staples and health care. From a country perspective, Goldman Sachs did its best work in China, while picks in India and South Korea also notably helped. Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund invests primarily in mid- and small-cap stocks a distinctive approach compared with other underlying managers. Because investors follow these names less closely, we think the fund's smaller-cap tilt improves the odds that management can exploit the research team's expertise. T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Stock Fund and Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund contributed about equally versus the benchmark. T. Rowe Price employs a GARP-oriented discipline (growth at a reasonable price), while Fidelity focuses on what the manager considers "best of breed" growth stocks that are underappreciated by the market. These managers also comfortably outpaced the MSCI EM index, led by selection in China, South Africa and Taiwan. At the sector level, both managers benefited from picks in financials and from underweighting the telecom services sector. T. Rowe Price received an additional boost from favorable positioning in technology, as did Fidelity from picks in consumer discretionary. telecom services. Country-wise, positioning in China and Brazil, as well as out-of-index exposure to "frontier" market Pakistan, further dampened Lazard's results. Acadian Emerging Markets Portfolio also weighed on the Fund's relative result. This manager stumbled with picks in information technology, along with unfavorable positioning in utilities and telecommunication services. From a country perspective, it was mainly hurt by underweighting China, as well as poor selection there. Morgan Stanley Frontier Markets Portfolio was another detractor. Within EM, less-developed frontier markets underperformed this period, causing this fund to substantially trail the MSCI EM index. Q: Did you make any notable changes to the Fund this period There were no major changes, but I continued to reduce allocations to managers that we thought had substantial exposure to country-specific risk. Our goal in this regard is to position the portfolio so that it is more influenced by managers whose excess return versus their benchmarks comes from stock-selection risk, rather than country or currency exposures. Q: What is your outlook as of period end The past year was a rare period in which an accelerating global economy was accompanied by growth stocks' substantial outperformance versus value stocks. It was somewhat reminiscent of the leadership of large-cap technology stocks in the late 1990s. Tech stocks led the way in emerging markets, and became the largest sector in the MSCI EM index. It's worth noting that the EM tech segment is now roughly four times the weight of energy and materials, two sectors more associated with value investing. Looking ahead, I think synchronous global growth and solid corporate earnings may continue to provide a positive fundamental environment for EM stocks, despite elevated valuations in certain sectors. In this environment, I plan to keep the portfolio well-diversified across investment styles while seeking to manage country and currency risk. Q: How about detractors Lazard Emerging Markets Equity Fund proved the biggest relative detractor. This manager's value-oriented approach was out of favor this period. In addition, it underperformed due to adverse selection in the technology and consumer discretionary sectors, along with an overweighting in 3 For definitions, fund risks and other important information, please see the Definitions and Important Information section of this Q&A.

ASSET ALLOCATION Wilfred Chilangwa on developments in China: "I think a key question for the performance of EM stocks over the coming year will be how slower economic growth in China will affect emerging markets more generally. "Under President Xi Jinping, China's 'growth at any cost' mentality has dissipated. The government is now much more focused on the quality of growth. The government is also implementing policies to reduce the rapid expansion of debt that has occurred since the 2007 2008 financial crisis. "At the 19 th China Communist Party Congress that took place in October 2017, China's president reaffirmed that his main objective is to maintain stability. As a result, the government employed policy measures intended to curb excessive lending at the local government level and also through online consumer loan platforms. "Against this backdrop, the Fund's underlying managers remain optimistic about the fundamentals of China's economy. They are, however, concerned about stretched valuations, particularly among internet-related firms and the technology sector in general. "Another interesting development is MSCI's decision to include China A shares in its indexes beginning in June 2018. A shares are traded only on China's stock market and are not currently included in any of MSCI's indexes including the MSCI EM index. When A shares become part of the benchmark, it's likely that a substantial amount of assets will flow into them. Some of the Fund's managers have limited out-of-benchmark exposure to A shares now. Once A shares are included in the index, it will likely prompt them to increase their allocations. As a result, many managers are adding resources to research and track the A- share market."
