4 Threadneedle Navigator UK Index Tracker Trust Manager s Report Investment Objective and Policy To achieve capital growth. The Manager s investment policy is to mirror as closely as possible the performance of the FTSE All-Share Index (formerly known as the Ft-Se Actuaries All-Share Index) by investing primarily in UK equities. The Manager may utilise stocklending and derivatives in order to facilitate Efficient Portfolio Management. This report covers the period from 2 June 2015 to 1 December Status of the Trust The trust is an authorised Unit Trust Scheme within Section 243 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, and is a UCITS scheme for the purpose of the Financial Conduct Authority s Collective Investment Schemes Sourcebook (COLL) as amended from time to time. Performance Over the six months to 1 December 2015, the UK equity market, as measured by the FTSE All-Share Index fell by 6.42% on a total return basis. The bid price of accumulation units in the trust fell by 6.28% from p to p during the same period. Please note that the FTSE All-Share Index return quoted above is at global close as of 30 November 2015, although the trust is valued at 12 noon on the next working day. The tracking difference between the trust s performance and that of the FTSE All-Share Index for the period ending 30 November 2015 was +0.70%. Accumulation Income units are not available from the Threadneedle Navigator UK Index Tracker Trust. However, in accordance with the Prospectus, the revenue in the trust is accumulated following the last day of the Annual Accounting Period. Market Overview and Portfolio Activity The trust uses a passive management approach that aims to match approximately the performance of the FTSE All-Share index. The approach involves buying all of the largest stocks and some of the smaller stocks in the index, weighting the stocks roughly in line with their weightings in the index. emerging markets, and consumer price inflation close to zero, markets are not expecting a rise in UK interest rates before the end of Overall, the current UK economic backdrop remains benign. However, there are a number of ongoing concerns including the country s substantial current-account deficit. The market may also be unsettled by further economic developments in China, speculation over future interest-rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve, and ongoing geopolitical risks. Nevertheless, we believe that the UK equity market continues to offer a wide range of attractive investment opportunities. Other Information Pages 39 to 47 at the back of these Interim Reports and Financial Statements form part of the Manager s Report. Directors Statement In accordance with the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority s Collective Investment Schemes (COLL) Sourcebook, we hereby certify the Interim Report and Financial Statements on behalf of the Directors of Threadneedle Investment Services Limited. T N Gillbanks Director 13 January 2016 C D Fleming Director With a view to mirroring as closely as possible the performance of the FTSE All-Share index, the trust s biggest purchases during the period included additions to the existing positions in Lloyds Banking Group and Royal Bank of Scotland. The largest sales included reductions to the holdings in Royal Dutch Shell, Reckitt Benckiser and BP. Further falls in the price of oil and other commodities hurt the performance of index heavyweights such as Royal Dutch Shell and BP, as well as the major mining companies. The period under review proved challenging for the UK equity market, which declined overall. The major factors affecting UK equities, along with other world markets, included the further falls in commodity prices, the Greek debt crisis and the economic slowdown in China. Additionally, UK exporters continued to be hampered by the strong pound and weaker overseas demand for British goods. On the positive side, a boom in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, powered largely by low interest rates, provided support to equities. Sentiment was also buoyed by the improvement in consumer confidence, as falling unemployment has led to wage growth finally moving ahead of inflation. Despite encouraging signs regarding the broader UK economy, including solid GDP-growth data, the Bank of England maintained interest rates at their record lows throughout the period.

This is the first set of financial statements to be prepared for the trust under the 2014 SORP; however, the impact is minimal for an interim reporting period and limited to presentational amendments to the Statement of Total Return, Statement of Change in Unitholders Funds and the Balance Sheet. These presentational amendments have no impact on the total return or the unitholders funds in either the current or preceding year. The full disclosures under the new SORP will first be presented for the annual financial statements prepared for the year to 1 June Unless otherwise stated all other accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 1 June 2015 and are described in those financial statements. (2) Basis of valuation of investments The investments of the trust are valued at fair market prices at close of business of the accounting period (UK time). Investments are stated at their fair value which generally is the bid valuation of each security. These bid values are sourced from independent pricing sources; to the extent that an independent pricing source is not available then quotes are obtained from a broker. Where the Manager deems that these valuations are unrepresentative of a fair valuation of the security, a fair valuation adjustment is applied based upon the Manager s opinion of fair value. (3) Exchange rates s and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies at the end of the accounting period are translated into sterling at the exchange rates ruling at close of business (UK time). Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are translated into sterling at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. (4) Derivatives Any capital gains/losses are included within net capital losses. Revenue on derivatives is included within revenue in the statement of total return. Expense on derivatives is included within interest payable and similar charges in the statement of total return. (5) Notes In accordance with the guidelines of the SORP the trust has taken advantage of the facility not to provide further notes to the financial statements. 4

12 Threadneedle Navigator Growth Trust Manager s Report Investment Objective and Policy To achieve capital growth. The Manager s investment policy is to invest primarily in UK equities, UK government securities and fixed interest investments and worldwide equities. The Manager does not envisage remaining fully invested at all times and may utilise stocklending, forward transactions and derivatives in order to hedge against price or currency fluctuations and to facilitate Efficient Portfolio Management. This report covers the period from 2 June 2015 to 1 December Status of the Trust The trust is an authorised Unit Trust Scheme within Section 243 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, and is a UCITS scheme for the purpose of the Financial Conduct Authority s Collective Investment Schemes Sourcebook (COLL) as amended from time to time. Performance Over the six months to 1 December 2015, the UK equity market, as measured by the FTSE All-Share Index (Total Return), fell by 6.42%. The offer price of accumulation units in the trust fell by 3.98% from p to p during the same period. Please note that the FTSE All-Share Index (Total Return) return quoted above is at global close as of 30 November 2015, although the trust is valued at 12 noon on the next working day. Accumulation Income units are not available from the Threadneedle Navigator Growth Trust. However, in accordance with the Prospectus, the revenue in the trust is accumulated following the last day of the Annual Accounting Period. Market Overview and Portfolio Activity The six months under review proved a more challenging period for global equity markets, and particularly for emerging markets which retreated in the wake of further falls in commodity prices, the appreciable slowdown in the Chinese economy and continuing uncertainty over the timing of the Federal Reserve s decision to raise US interest rates. Following a strong performance earlier in the year, Chinese equities fell heavily during the summer months amid concerns over stretched valuations, a clampdown on margin trading and the drain on liquidity from the large number of initial public offerings (IPOs). In early August, the People s Bank of China announced a surprise devaluation of the yuan, prompting further volatility in emerging-market currencies, which were already under pressure from lower commodity prices. Supportive measures from the authorities helped to stabilise the Chinese equity market in September. largely by low interest rates, provided support to the market. Sentiment was also buoyed by the improvement in consumer confidence, as falling unemployment has finally led to wage growth moving ahead of inflation. During the reporting period there were no adjustments to the trust s overall investment strategy but its underlying direct investments in individual stocks continued to be actively managed. For example, key purchases within the UK equity portion of the portfolio included insurance group Prudential and semiconductor and software-design company ARM Holdings. Conversely, the trust s positions in enterprise software firm Sage and packaging business DS Smith were sold. Government bond markets produced positive returns over the period, helped by the risk-averse environment that prevailed during the summer. However, US Treasury bonds lagged the returns from other core government markets amid speculation over a possible US interest-rate hike. Investment-grade corporate bonds posted a slight negative return during the period. After their earlier falls, global equities have rallied since October and overall we remain constructive on the outlook for world markets. The fall in energy prices is helping to suppress inflationary pressures and monetary policy from central banks generally remains supportive, with a view to aiding economic activity. However, we remain cognisant of current risks, including prevailing geopolitical tensions. Within government bond markets, sentiment will continue to be dominated by central banks monetary policy. Other Information Pages 39 to 47 at the back of these Interim Reports and Financial Statements form part of the Manager s Report. Directors Statement In accordance with the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority s Collective Investment Schemes (COLL) Sourcebook, we hereby certify the Interim Report and Financial Statements on behalf of the Directors of Threadneedle Investment Services Limited. T N Gillbanks Director 13 January 2016 C D Fleming Director In contrast to some of the sharp falls in emerging markets, US equities posted a flat return over the period in dollar terms. Sentiment was helped by the relative resilience of the US economy in comparison to slowing economic activity in many parts of the world. The ongoing economic recovery in the US has heightened speculation that the Federal Reserve could begin to raise rates at its December policy meeting. Elsewhere, markets in Europe held up reasonably well over the period, fuelled by hopes of further quantitative easing from the European Central Bank. Conversely, equities in Japan retreated amid the deteriorating economic conditions, with the Japanese economy lapsing back into recession. Within the equity portion of the portfolio, the largest exposure is to the UK market, which also fell back over the period. In addition to the factors affecting markets globally, UK exporters were hampered by the strength of the pound and weaker overseas demand for British goods. On the positive side, a boom in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, powered 11

This is the first set of financial statements to be prepared for the trust under the 2014 SORP; however, the impact is minimal for an interim reporting period and limited to presentational amendments to the Statement of Total Return, Statement of Change in Unitholders Funds and the Balance Sheet. These presentational amendments have no impact on the total return or the unitholders funds in either the current or preceding year. The full disclosures under the new SORP will first be presented for the annual financial statements prepared for the year to 1 June Unless otherwise stated all other accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 1 June 2015 and are described in those financial statements. (2) Basis of valuation of investments The investments of the trust are valued at fair market prices at close of business of the accounting period (UK time). Investments are stated at their fair value which generally is the bid valuation of each security. These bid values are sourced from independent pricing sources; to the extent that an independent pricing source is not available then quotes are obtained from a broker. Where the Manager deems that these valuations are unrepresentative of a fair valuation of the security, a fair valuation adjustment is applied based upon the Manager s opinion of fair value. (3) Exchange rates s and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies at the end of the accounting period are translated into sterling at the exchange rates ruling at close of business (UK time). Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are translated into sterling at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. (4) Notes In accordance with the guidelines of the SORP the trust has taken advantage of the facility not to provide further notes to the financial statements. 12

This report covers the period from 2 June 2015 to 1 December Status of the Trust The trust is an authorised Unit Trust Scheme within Section 243 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, and is a UCITS scheme for the purpose of the Financial Conduct Authority s Collective Investment Schemes Sourcebook (COLL) as amended from time to time. Performance Over the six months to 1 December 2015, the iboxx Sterling Non-Gilt Index produced a total return of -0.31%. The offer price of accumulation units in the trust fell by 0.71% from p to p during the same period. Please note that the iboxx Sterling Non-Gilt Index returns quoted above are at global close as of 30 November 2015, although the trust is valued at 12 noon on the next working day. Income Distribution In accordance with the Prospectus, holders of income units in the trust will receive distributions on a quarterly basis. The distribution on income units for the quarter ended 1 December 2015 amounts to p per unit net. This brings the total payments from the trust for the review period to p per unit net. The distribution on accumulation units is transferred from income to the capital property of the trust following the end of the distribution period. The amount accumulated after the quarter ended 1 December 2015 was p per unit net. This brings the total amount accumulated for the review period to p per unit net. Market Overview and Portfolio Activity Government bond markets produced positive returns over the period under review, helped by the risk-averse environment that prevailed during the summer. However, US Treasury bonds lagged the returns from other core government markets amid growing speculation over a possible US interestrate hike. While these perceived safe-haven assets fared well during the period, investment-grade corporate bonds posted a slight negative return. Yield spreads over government bonds widened during the risk-off phase in financial markets. Over the reporting period, the UK gilt market was driven largely by international events such as the Greek debt crisis, the further falls in commodity prices, the economic slowdown in China and other emerging markets, and ongoing geopolitical tensions. After its earlier strong performance, the Chinese equity market fell sharply in the summer, triggering falls in other world stock markets and a general move in favour of safe-haven assets. The Chinese authorities devalued the renminbi and introduced measures to help stabilise the market. On the domestic front, the Bank of England held official UK interest rates at the record low of 0.5% throughout the period, as consumer price inflation hovered around zero. Attention was also focused on the US Federal Reserve amid continuing speculation over the likely timing of a US interest-rate hike. In the event, at the September FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting the Fed surprised the markets with a more dovish outlook than expected, and both gilts and US Treasuries rallied on the announcement. The focus has now moved to December s FOMC meeting, with the market forecasting a rise in rates. Over the six months under review, the trust maintained a flexible and nimble approach to duration (interest-rate risk) positioning. For example, during the Greek debt troubles the trust was positioned with a modestly overweight duration, while it was neutrally positioned at the time of the renminbi devaluation. During the period, new positions were established in Stagecoach (maturing in 2025, with a coupon rate of 4%), and Northern Gas Networks (maturing in 2027, with a coupon rate of 4.875%). We sold the remaining position in Brazilian oil company Petrobras. At a sector level, we remained cautious on autos and had no exposure to Volkswagen, which was adversely affected by the diesel-emissions scandal. The trust also had no exposure to German utilities, which suffered on concerns over the government s intervention relating to Germany s nuclear provisioning. Looking ahead, the UK economy faces several challenges over the coming year, including the referendum on EU membership. Markets will also have to contend with continuing uncertainty over when the Bank of England will begin to raise UK interest rates, although most commentators believe this is now unlikely to occur before the end of Investment-grade corporate bonds have seen signs of a modest deterioration in the underlying fundamentals. The UK market has been experiencing a boom in merger and acquisition activity, which often has negative implications for investment-grade corporates. Moreover, companies are generally adopting more shareholder-friendly policies such as share buybacks. Nevertheless, corporate bond valuations have become more attractive and the supply of sterling-denominated bonds has been muted, thereby supporting the market s technical demand/supply backdrop.
