1 Premier Multi-Asset Distribution Fund AA Fund update - first quarter 2015 For retail investors and professional advisers
2 Premier Multi-Asset Distribution Fund Need to know The Fund s five essential characteristics: Aiming to pay an income that rises over time with some long-term capital growth. For long-term investors - not for those seeking short-term gains. Risk level appropriate for the IA Mixed Investment 20%-60% Shares sector. Invested in risk assets there will be times when its price will fall. Well diversified seeking returns and protection from a range of assets. The performance information for Premier Multi-Asset Distribution Fund in this document is based on the C share class, which has the lowest charging structure of the share classes available. To help with comparisons between the thousands of funds, UK authorised funds are categorised into different groups (known as sectors) by the UK investment management trade association, known as the Investment Association (IA). The IA sector will include funds with different share classes and different charges and is provided for illustrative purposes only. Performance returns will vary between share classes due to the different charges. Contents 3. Performance summary 4. Income 5. Market performance 6. Performance drivers - asset allocation 7.

3 Performance summary Most asset classes were quick off the blocks into 2015, with equities, bonds and commercial property generally producing firmly positive returns. The Fund performed well over the quarter, generating a healthy return that put it ahead of its average peer. It is often difficult to know the true drivers of market performance until well after the event, but it seems likely that this quarter the European adoption of Quantitative Easing played a large part in the positive performance. The stabilisation of the oil price at a lower level also helped by removing a level of uncertainty that had unsettled investors last year as the price dropped off a cliff face. Some exposure to European and Japanese equities helped performance, as these led the way over the quarter. In contrast, our exposure to commercial property dragged, as while this produced positive returns, they were lower than those made by other assets. Our natural focus on income continued to prove useful, most obviously in continuing to generate an attractive income stream for our investors. But this focus is also supporting the capital value of the Fund, as the prices of good income-producing assets are well supported by high demand from yield-hungry investors. Quarter ending Total return (%) Discrete Years Total return (%) Premier Multi-Asset Distribution Fund IA Mixed Investment 20% to 60% Shares (ytd) Chart source: FE Analytics, bid to bid, total return, UK sterling basis, data based on Class C Income shares. Data to Past performance is not an indication of future returns.
4 Income Annualised historic yield as at Distribution history 4.1% Last quarterly payment made: pence per share (paid on: 28 January 2015) Total paid out in respect of 2014/15 financial year: pence per share (3 out of 4 payments) Estimated next payment: pence per share (to be paid: 28 April 2015) Net pence per share / / / / / / / / / 12 Financial year ending (28 February) 2012 / /15 distribution history includes three out of four payments 2013 / 2014 / Long-time holders of the Fund will have noticed the yield (see left) drop steadily over the last few years. It s worth explaining that this figure is calculated by dividing the income paid over the last 12 months by the Fund s share price. So in a year when the income remains the same, but the price rises, the yield will fall (this is just maths). This has been the reason for the fall in the Fund s yield, as while the income paid out has risen since the financial crisis, the Fund s price has risen more sharply, hence the lower yield. 4 ¹Based on Class A Income Shares. The historic yield is net of basic rate tax and reflects distributions declared over the past twelve months as a percentage of the mid-market unit price of the fund. The yield is not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Past performance is not an indication of future returns.
5 Market performance Total returns for quarter ending UK gilts 2.2% UK commercial property 2.8% UK equities 4.7% UK large caps 4.2% UK small caps 5.9% Global equities 7.5% UK mid caps 6.7% Equities generated high returns for the quarter, helped by the European Central Bank s decision to loosen monetary policy further through Quantitative Easing. European equities were the stand-out performers, although in sterling terms this was dampened by the euro simultaneously weakening. So for UK-based investors, Japanese equities were the biggest winners, as their rally was boosted by a rising yen. UK equities underperformed their global peers, while within the UK market large caps lagged their small and mid-sized brethren. Both factors were in part driven by the large weighting of miners, oil producers and banks in the FTSE 100, as shares in these industries fell back over the quarter. Gilts ended in positive territory, although for a supposedly safe asset their prices seemed unusually volatile. Corporate bonds, meanwhile, outperformed their government-backed equivalents. Commercial property prices continued to rise, albeit at a slower rate than those of other asset classes. 0.0% 2.0% 4.0% 6.0% 8.0% Equities Bonds UK commercial property 5 Source: FE Analytics, bid to bid, total return, UK sterling basis.

7 Performance drivers - holdings Notable contributors Assura Group This fund of primary healthcare facilities has made very strong returns, recently driven by demand from passive funds. CatCo Reinsurance Opportunities A rising US dollar and another claim-free quarter led to another strong period for this low-frequency-catastrophe reinsurance fund. Doric Nimrod Air 2 Made up for last year s disappointing return with a double-digit gain, vindicating our decision to top up during that weakness. P2P C Global Investments This peer-to-peer lending fund had a flying start, with investors attracted by its high income and lack of correlation with other assets. Real Estate Credit Investments Continues to generate strong returns from both its property loan and bond portfolios, resulting in excellent income and capital returns. Notable detractors CVC Credit Partners European opportunities We have topped up this holding, as the underlying portfolio has made decent returns, but this is not yet reflected in the share price. GCP Infrastructure Income We took some profits last year after its price rallied. Other investors appear to have followed suit, hence the modest loss for the quarter. Starwood European Real Estate Finance Produced a negative return, but an attractive income from a quality property portfolio is likely to support the share price going forward. 7

They were not particularly cheap as the year began, so a steep rally over the first three months looks to us like they have come a little too far too quickly. Within equities, we took the most profits from Japan. We have our exposure here hedged back to sterling, which has allowed us to reap the full reward of what has been a dramatic rally in yen terms. However, their currency no longer looks particularly expensive, while their equities are not as cheap as they once were. Within our bond exposure, we reduced our exposure to investment grade corporate bonds, as good value here is becoming hard to find. We topped up our exposure to high-yield bonds instead, as we have a trusted strategic bond fund that we feel can unlock niche opportunities in an asset class that lagged last year. We used the proceeds of our equity profit taking, as well as some cash, to take up some new alternative opportunities. This consisted of two peer-to-peer lending funds, and a trust that specialises in solar power infrastructure. Please note that the numbers above have been rounded. 8
