2 1 The QEP Investment Team has been managing global equities for over 15 years and has a proven performance track record across a comprehensive range of strategies. We aim to offer clients market-leading performance, based on strong stock selection, forward-looking research and intelligent portfolio construction. Justin Abercrombie Head of Schroders QEP Investment Team This brochure provides an introduction to our investment philosophy, process and product range.
3 Schroders QEP investment solutions A strategic approach to investing 2 An introduction The QEP Investment Team has been a key component of Schroders specialist equity capabilities since its launch in Led by Justin Abercrombie, our 32-strong team is based in London, Sydney, New York and Hong Kong. We currently manage 26.4 billion for clients all over the world. The team has generated a strong track record across its range of global and emerging equity strategies. Fundamental insights on an industrial scale We take a strategic approach to investing in global equities, marrying fundamental analysis with the scalability and rigour of quantitative investment tools. Our philosophy Our philosophy is underpinned by three key principles: 1. A focus on stock valuations and business quality We focus on two key drivers of long-term equity returns: stock valuation and business quality (as defined by measures of company profitability, stability and financial strength). 2. Portfolio construction on an industrial scale We use quantitative tools to scale up our investment process and search for the most attractive opportunities across a global universe of more than 15,000 stocks across more than 40 countries. This allows us to gain exposure to a genuinely broad range of opportunities, including those potentially untapped by other managers. In addition the exceptional diversification of our portfolios, typically invested in more than 500 stocks, helps reduce stock-specific risk. 3. Experienced fund managers in the driving seat While computers lend breadth and scale to our process, an experienced fund manager is ultimately responsible for constructing each of our portfolios. We make every trade decision and are constantly seeking ways to enhance our process and capture future opportunities. Source: Schroders, as at 30 September 2015.
4 3 A fundamental basis Why invest in Value and Quality? Defining Value and Quality We believe that Value and Quality are the two key drivers of long-term equity returns. Our investment process focuses on identifying stocks with these attributes across our broad global universe of over 15,000 stocks. We analyse stocks using a variety of different measures. When it comes to assessing Value, we use a range of indicators to evaluate how attractively priced a stock is. These include measures of dividends, cash flow, earnings, sales and assets. In terms of Quality, we look specifically at a business s profitability, its stability and its financial strength. Identifying Value* 1. Dividends (current, forecast and growth) 2. Cash flow (gross and net) 3. Earnings (current and forecast) 4. Sales and assets Identifying Quality* 1. Profitability (return on equity, capital employed, assets) 2. Stability (of earnings, sales, dividends,cash flow) 3. Financial strength (liquidity, leverage, debt service) * Sample of metrics used to measure value and quality. Delivering returns across the market cycle There is a wealth of evidence to support the long-term case for investing in both Value and Quality as individual strategies. However, while both have outperformed the broader equity market over the long term, they tend to deliver their returns at different points in the market cycle. For example, Quality stocks tend to perform well in environments when Value stocks can struggle such as periods of heightened risk aversion or market uncertainty. However, as market conditions improve and investors embrace riskier opportunities, Value strategies are typically rewarded as higher Quality stocks lag.
5 Schroders QEP investment solutions A strategic approach to investing 4 The chart below demonstrates the diversifying relationship between Value and Quality based on US equity data stretching back to 1955, although a similar relationship can be seen in the global markets. The blue line shows the returns of Quality stocks minus the returns of Value stocks over time. It shows that Quality has outperformed when risk aversion has been high, such as during the Global Financial Crisis of , but has underperformed in periods where Value has outperformed such as in the recovery of We exploit this relationship between Value and Quality across our range of global and emerging market equity strategies in order to offer clients a range of risk and performance options, depending on their return target and risk appetite. Value outperforms Quality outperforms Credit crunch risk aversion is high Recessions Quality less Value (annual return spread) Global recovery, conditions normalised Source: Schroders, as at 30 June Uses QEP proprietary indicators which are composites of several Quality and Value measures, Diagram shows the performance of the Quality indicator minus the Value indicator, over 12-month rolling periods, in USD terms.
6 5 Portfolio construction matters Aiming for higher returns Active share explained Active share is a measure of the proportion of a portfolio s holdings that are different to the benchmark; an indexed portfolio identical to the benchmark would have a 0% active share, and a portfolio with no overlap at all with the benchmark would have an active share of 100%. Stock selection is only the starting point There are many ways to build an active portfolio and generate higher returns than a market index. For many managers, picking the best stocks is the most important aspect of this process. For us, knowing what to buy is only the beginning how to combine stocks and construct a portfolio is equally important. We believe that this understanding of portfolio construction and how to balance opportunities and risks effectively is one of our most significant competitive advantages. Our portfolio construction priorities We take a number of strategic steps within our investment process which, together, can help us to outperform the broader market through time. 1. Look beyond the index to access a broad opportunity set As global investors we want to be able to access the very best opportunities, wherever they may be. As such, we look far beyond the confines of traditional market indices (typically dominated by the largest stocks, predominantly in the developed world) to a truly global universe of over 15,000 stocks, including emerging markets. Moreover, with the exception of our Core strategy, we do not refer to index weightings in given sectors or regions when building our portfolios: we only invest where we find the best opportunities from either a value or a quality perspective. 2. Diversification and conviction the best of both worlds We build exceptionally well-diversified portfolios, typically invested in over 500 stocks. This level of diversification significantly reduces stock-specific risk the risk that the failure of a single investment could jeopardise the overall performance of the portfolio but it also exposes investors to a greater number and a richer array of return opportunities. Crucially, a high level of diversification does not mean compromising on conviction and active returns. It is possible to have the best of both worlds. Our portfolios look very different to the index with active shares typically in excess of 70% across our unconstrained range. (See Active share explained). 3. Weight stocks according to conviction, not size We believe that the decision on how much to own of a given stock is as important as selecting the stock in the first place. In particular, we believe in breaking the link between stock weightings and size (market capitalisation). Just because a stock is large does not necessarily mean it should form a bigger component of your portfolio. Instead, we focus on investing according to how much conviction we have in that stock (how attractive it is from a valuation and a quality perspective) and liquidity.

Risk factors. The capital is not guaranteed. Investments denominated in a currency other than that of the share-class may not be hedged. The market movements between those currencies will impact the share-class. Portfolios in this strategy will not hedge their market risk in a down cycle. The value of the portfolio will move similarly to the markets. Investments in small companies can be difficult to sell quickly which may affect the value of the portfolio and, in extreme market conditions, its ability to meet redemption requests upon demand. Emerging equity markets may be more volatile than equity markets of well established economies. Investments into foreign currencies entail exchange risks. The portfolio may be leveraged, which may increase its volatility. The portfolio enters into financial derivative transactions. If the counterparty were to default, the unrealised profit on the transaction and the market exposure may be lost. Potential investors in emerging markets should be aware that this can involve a higher degree of risk. Less developed markets are generally less well regulated than the UK, investments may be less liquid and there may be less reliable arrangements for trading and settlement of the underlying holdings. Changes in China s political, legal, economic or tax policies could cause losses or higher costs for the fund. Investments in smaller companies can be less liquid than investments in larger companies and price swings may therefore be greater than in larger company funds.
