Newton Global Emerging Markets strategy For professional investors only. This document is for n and New Zealand wholesale clients only. Compared to more established economies, the value of investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater volatility owing to differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability. Please read the important disclosures at the end of this document. April 216 Finding real value in emerging markets High-conviction strategy benefiting from strong fundamentals, attractive valuations and long-term thematic support Unconstrained by index composition Long-term investment horizon Emerging markets, by their very nature, provide exposure to high growth potential, but are often characterised by short-term volatility and diverging performances at regional, industrial and company levels. In such an environment, ensuring that you are invested in the best possible stocks is essential. We seek to invest in companies that generate real value from their growth and reinvest it for the benefit of all shareholders. We believe investors in emerging markets can capture growth potential and minimise risks with an investment approach which is truly active and incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysis in the investment process from the outset. Emphasis on growth, quality, return on capital employed and governance Performance aim To outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by in excess of 2% p.a. over a rolling five-year period Inception date May 211 Number of holdings Approximately 5-8 PERFORMANCE FROM INCEPTION (31 MAY 211) TO 31 MARCH 216 25 2 15 5-5 - -15-2 -18.7-17.1 211 (From 31 May) 24.3 212 17.2 26.8 13.4 Newton Global Emerging Markets Composite (gross of fees) 16.1 7.3 4.1-3.9-4.7 213 214 215 Q1 216 MSCI Emerging Markets Index. 7 6 5 4 2 - -2 Cumulative returns (%) Cumulative return (RHS) Since its inception in May 211, the Newton Global Emerging Markets strategy has delivered relative outperformance of +5.7% p.a.

Truly active management Emerging economies present divergent opportunities and risks to investors. This is why Newton s Global Emerging Markets strategy employs rigorous analysis to identify those companies which have the potential to generate strong cash flows and reinvest these in growth opportunities on a continuing basis. While a passive investor is compelled to buy more of those areas which have already performed well (and which therefore have a higher index weighting), and where much of the growth may already have happened, an active investor aims to identify areas of future good performance and growth, and take higher conviction positions in these.

Core investment tenets The Newton Global Emerging Markets strategy aims to capture value creation available from growth in emerging markets, with a reasonable level of risk. Emphasis on active management: fundamental bottom-up security selection Seeking compounders (high returns reinvested in growth) Aiming to harness under-recognised earnings from strong franchises, brands, barriers to entry, etc. Exposure to thematic tailwinds Seeking robust fundamentals through a downturn Not chasing the market, nor relying on momentum Tight watch list of potential investments Funda m entals Themes Portfolio construction Valuation Environmental, social and governance (ESG) focus We believe that responsibly managed companies are best placed to achieve sustainable competitive advantage and provide strong long-term investment opportunities. However, the governance structures of many emerging-market companies tend to be less clean than those of their developed-market counterparts. Our dedicated responsible investment team, which is an integral part of our investment decision-making process: conducts ESG quality reviews of companies considered for investment aims to provide the investment team with an overview of the material ESG risks and opportunities facing a company, and details of how the company addresses and reports on these issues
Themes help identify opportunities and challenges Against a differentiated emerging-market backdrop, we use investment themes to focus on areas of growth and avoid areas of risk. WORKING AGE POPULATION GROWTH (215-235, UN ESTIMATES) Population dynamics are key drivers of GDP growth and asset prices, but vary hugely between emerging markets. Such dynamics may create favourable investment opportunities, for example where they are associated with strong working-age population growth, but they may also entail risks which reduce the appeal of some markets.

Sectors with higher state ownership include the utilities, energy, telecommunications and financials sectors.

Current MSCI Emerging Markets constituents are used to calculate the government control per country. % state control is calculated by aggregating MSCI weight of companies in the respective country with effective government control. Total EM (Emerging Markets) is a weighted average. 28.3 Total EM Healthy demand Expanding incomes and changing lifestyles in emerging markets have created a growing demand for health care, but government provision is often lacking. This creates a big private sector opportunity. The mobile internet is booming in many emerging markets as more consumers get reliable 3G and 4G access. Companies which can harness the resulting e-commerce opportunities are set to benefit.
