Fund Information Investment objective and policy The fund s investment objective is to achieve capital growth. Income will be minimal. The fund will follow a highly active investment policy in all economic sectors in the Pacific region, excluding Japan and including, but not limited to, Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. It is intended that the fund may also participate in other Asian stock markets which are not currently open to outside investors. The fund will invest in equities, warrants and convertibles of quoted companies with greater focus on the larger capitalised and better quality companies. The fund may also invest in a wide range of investments including transferable securities, collective investment schemes, warrants and money market instruments.

Fund Information (continued) Ongoing charges figure For the year For the year to 15.10.16 to 15.10.15 I Income units 0.53% 0.53% I Accumulation units 0.53% 0.53% S Income units 0.48% 0.48% X Accumulation units 1 0.03% 0.03% 1 The Annual management charge for X Accumulation units is invoiced directly to unitholders and is therefore not included in the Ongoing charges figure for that unit class. 4

Review of Investment Activities From 15 October 2015 to 14 October 2016, the price of I Accumulation units on a dealing price to dealing price basis rose 36.55%. In comparison, the MSCI Pacific ex Japan Index generated a total return of 38.74% 1 in sterling terms. 1 Source: Thomson Reuters Datastream. Pacific ex Japan equities delivered positive returns over the period as a weaker pound, following the shock UK Brexit vote in mid 2016, boosted returns for sterling investors. Within Asia, returns were positive on the broader global monetary easing while expectations of further stimulus from Chinese authorities, in a bid to support growth, also buoyed share prices. One of the fund s leading contributors over the period was Australian listed supply chain logistics group Brambles. Its share price gains over the quarter were mainly reflective of an ongoing exodus of capital from materials and energy stocks rather than any one company specific catalyst. Meanwhile, among the fund s leading detractors was property developer and landlord Hongkong Land Holdings. Its shares declined over the quarter as the company reported lower financial year 2015 earnings on sluggish residential sales, particularly in Hong Kong where the market was weak. Incitec Pivot, an Australia listed fertiliser and explosives chemicals manufacturer, also weighed on performance. Looking ahead, against this backdrop where global growth is subdued, a protracted period of uncertainty and volatility can be expected. We maintain our disciplined bottom up stock selection process with a focus on companies with sound fundamentals, strong cash flows, growing earnings and sustainable dividends. Please remember that past performance is not a guide to future performance and it might not be repeated. The value of investments and the revenue from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Because of this, you are not certain to make a profit on your investments and you may lose money.

Risk Profile Risk and reward indicator The risk category was calculated using historical performance data and may not be a reliable indicator of the fund s future risk profile. The fund is in this category because it can take higher risks in search of higher rewards and its price may rise and fall accordingly. The fund s risk category is not guaranteed to remain fixed and may change over time. A fund in the lowest category does not mean a risk free investment. Specific risks The fund invests in assets which are exposed to currencies other than sterling. Exchange rates may cause the value of overseas investments and the revenue from them to rise or fall. The fund invests in less developed markets which are generally less well regulated than the UK. They may be less liquid and may have less reliable custody arrangements. The fund invests in emerging markets and the Far East. This involves a high degree of risk and should be seen as long term in nature. For these reasons, the purchase of units should not normally be regarded as a short term investment. 6

Statement of the Manager s Responsibilities The Financial Conduct Authority s Collective Investment Schemes sourcebook (COLL) requires the Manager to prepare accounts for each annual and half yearly accounting period, in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, which give a true and fair view of the financial position of the fund and of its net revenue and the net capital gains on the property of the fund for the year. In preparing the accounts the Manager is required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; comply with the disclosure requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for UK Authorised Funds issued by the Investment Management Association (IMA (now the Investment Association (IA))) in May 2014; follow generally accepted accounting principles and applicable accounting standards; prepare the accounts on the basis that the fund will continue in operation unless it is inappropriate to do so; keep proper accounting records which enable it to demonstrate that the accounts as prepared comply with the above requirements; make judgements and estimates that are prudent and reasonable. The Manager is responsible for the management of the fund in accordance with its Trust Deed, the Prospectus and the COLL and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud, error and non-compliance with law or regulations. The Manager s report and accounts for the year ended 15 October 2016 were signed on 2 December 2016 on behalf of the Manager by: J.A. Walker-Hazell Directors P. Chislett 7

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the financial statements is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), the Statement of Recommended Practice Financial Statements of UK Authorised Funds issued by the Investment Management Association (the Statement of Recommended Practice for Authorised Funds ), the Collective Investment Schemes sourcebook and the Trust Deed. In applying the financial reporting framework, the Authorised Fund Manager has made judgements where appropriate, for example in respect of substantive accounting estimates.

Independent Auditors Report to the Unitholders of Schroder Institutional Pacific Fund (continued) Opinions on matters prescribed by the Collective Investment Schemes sourcebook In our opinion: we have obtained all the information and explanations we consider necessary for the purposes of the audit; and the information given in the Authorised Fund Manager s Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. Other matters on which we are required to report by exception Propriety of accounting records and information and explanations received Under the Collective Investment Schemes sourcebook we are required to report to you if, in our opinion: proper accounting records have not been kept; or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit Our responsibilities and those of the Authorised Fund Manager As explained more fully in the Authorised Fund Manager s Responsibilities Statement set out on page 7, the Authorised Fund Manager is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and ISAs (UK & Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board s Ethical Standards for Auditors. This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the fund s unitholders as a body in accordance with paragraph 4.5.12 of the Collective Investment Schemes sourcebook and for no other purpose. 10 We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Independent Auditors Report to the Unitholders of Schroder Institutional Pacific Fund (continued) What an audit of financial statements involves We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (ISAs (UK & Ireland)). An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the fund s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Authorised Fund Manager; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. We primarily focus our work in these areas by assessing the Authorised Fund Manager s judgements against available evidence, forming our own judgements, and evaluating the disclosures in the financial statements. We test and examine information, using sampling and other auditing techniques, to the extent we consider necessary to provide a reasonable basis for us to draw conclusions. We obtain audit evidence through testing the effectiveness of controls, substantive procedures or a combination of both. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Final Report and Accounts (the Annual Report ) to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Chartered Accountants and Statutory Auditors Edinburgh 2 December 2016 (a) The maintenance and integrity of the Schroders website is the responsibility of the Authorised Fund Manager; the work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially presented on the website. (b) Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 11

Notes to the Accounts 1 Accounting policies Basis of preparation The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of investments, and in accordance with the SORP for UK Authorised Funds issued by the IMA in May 2014 and in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 (The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). Revenue Dividends receivable from equity investments are recognised net of attributable tax credits and are credited to revenue when they are first quoted ex-dividend. Interest receivable from bank balances is accounted for on an accruals basis. Special dividends Special dividends are treated as revenue or capital depending on the facts of each particular case. Expenses Expenses of the fund are charged against revenue except for Stamp duty reserve tax and costs associated with the purchase and sale of investments which are allocated to the capital of the fund. For I Income units, I Accumulation units and S Income units the Annual management charge is charged against revenue and is accrued within the unit price. This charge is invoiced directly to X Accumulation unitholders. Taxation Corporation tax is provided for on the revenue liable to corporation tax less deductible expenses. Deferred taxation is provided for on all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, other than those differences regarded as permanent. Any liability to deferred taxation is provided for at the average rate of taxation expected to apply. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted to reflect the time value of money. Distributions The revenue available for distribution is the total revenue earned by the fund, less deductible expenses and taxation charged to revenue. The revenue is distributed annually on 15 December to Income unitholders. For Accumulation units this revenue is not distributed but automatically reinvested in the fund and is reflected in the value of these units. 22

Notes to the Accounts (continued) Dilution adjustment In certain circumstances the Manager may apply a dilution adjustment on subscriptions and redemptions of units. If applied, the dilution adjustment is paid to the fund. See Prospectus for further details. For the years ended 15 October 2016 and 15 October 2015 the Dilution adjustments of 260,310 and 20,778, respectively, are shown separately in the Statement of Change in Net Assets Attributable to Unitholders, previously they were included within Amounts receivable on issue of units and Amounts payable on cancellation of units in the Statement of Change in Net Assets Attributable to Unitholders. This is a change in presentation, there have been no changes to the financial position or financial performance of the fund as a result of the above. Valuation Listed investments of the fund have been valued at market value at 18:00 on the balance sheet date. Market value is defined by the SORP as fair value which generally is the bid value of each security. Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities valued in foreign currencies have been translated into sterling at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and the net losses are reflected under Net capital gains/(losses) in the Notes to the Accounts. 2 Net capital gains/(losses) The net capital gains/(losses) during the year comprise: 2016 2015 000 s 000 s Non-derivative securities 128,743 (41,512) Foreign currency losses (178) (95) Transaction costs (3) (5) Net capital gains/(losses) 128,562 (41,612) 3 Revenue 2016 2015 000 s 000 s UK dividends 286 267 Overseas dividends 17,517 19,134 Bank interest 25 35 Total revenue 17,828 19,436 23

(b) Factors affecting the current tax charge for the year The tax assessed for the year is different from that calculated when the standard rate of corporation tax for authorised unit trusts of 20% (2015 20%) is applied to the net revenue before taxation. The differences are explained below. 2016 2015 000 s 000 s Net revenue before taxation 15,867 17,189 Net revenue for the year before taxation multiplied by the standard rate of corporation tax 3,173 3,438 Effects of: Revenue not subject to corporation tax (3,560) (3,880) Expenses not deductible for tax purposes 5 0 Movement in excess management expenses 382 442 Irrecoverable overseas withholding tax 62 38 Current tax charge for the year (Note 5(a)) 62 38 24

Notes to the Accounts (continued) (c) Factors that may affect future tax charges At the balance sheet date, there is a potential deferred tax asset of 3,742,652 (2015 3,360,900) in respect of unutilised management expenses. It is unlikely the fund will generate sufficient taxable profits in the future to utilise this amount and therefore no deferred tax asset has been recognised in the year or prior year. 6 Distributions Distributions The distribution takes account of revenue received on the issue of units and revenue deducted on the cancellation of units, and comprises: 2016 2015 000 s 000 s Final Dividend distribution 11,617 15,946 Add: Revenue deducted on cancellation of units 4,484 1,389 Deduct: Revenue received on issue of units (268) (183) Distributions 15,833 17,152 Net revenue after taxation 15,805 17,151 Expenses taken to capital 28 1 Distributions 15,833 17,152 Details of the distribution per unit are set out in the Distribution Table on page 33. 7 Fair value hierarchy 2016 2015 Assets Assets Valuation technique 000 s 000 s Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets 426,649 430,626 Total 426,649 430,626 8 Debtors 2016 2015 000 s 000 s Amounts receivable for issue of units 0 217 Sales awaiting settlement 0 3,097 Accrued overseas dividends 58 102 Accrued bank interest 0 1 Total debtors 58 3,417 25

Amounts paid during the year or due to the Manager at the balance sheet date are disclosed under Expenses and Other creditors in the Notes to the Accounts. The Manager acts as principal on all transactions of units in the fund. The aggregate monies received through the issue and cancellation of units are disclosed in the Statement of Change in Net Assets Attributable to Unitholders and Distributions in the Notes to the Accounts. Amounts due from or to the Manager in respect of unit transactions at the balance sheet date are disclosed under Debtors and Other creditors in the Notes to the Accounts. Units held or managed by the Manager or associates of the Manager as a percentage of the fund s net asset value at the balance sheet date were 25.57% (2015 13.42%). 26

Notes to the Accounts (continued) 12 Unit classes The fund currently has three unit classes: I Income units, I Accumulation units and S Income units. The Annual management charge is based on the average value of the fund, calculated on a daily basis, and covers the remuneration of the Manager, the Investment Adviser and their overhead expenses and for each unit class is as follows: I Income units 0.50% I Accumulation units 0.50% S Income units 0.30% The closing net asset value of each unit class, the closing net asset value per unit and the closing number of units in issue are given in the Comparative Tables on pages 12 to 15. The distribution per unit class is given in the Distribution Table on page 33. All classes have the same rights on winding up. 13 Derivative and other financial instruments In accordance with the investment objective, the fund may hold certain financial instruments. These comprise: securities held in accordance with the investment objective and policy; cash and short term debtors and creditors arising directly from operations. Under normal circumstances, the Manager would expect substantially all of the assets of the fund to be invested in securities appropriate to the fund s investment objective. Cash and near cash may only be held in order to assist in the redemption of units, the efficient management of the fund or purposes regarded as ancillary to the fund. The fund has little exposure to credit risk. The main risks arising from the fund s financial instruments are market price, foreign currency, liquidity and interest rate risks. The Manager s policies for managing these risks are summarised below and have been applied throughout the year and the prior year. Market price risk The fund s investment portfolio is exposed to market price fluctuations which are monitored by the Manager in pursuance of the investment objective and policy. Adherence to investment guidelines and to investment and borrowing powers set out in the Trust Deed, the Prospectus and in the COLL mitigates the risk of excessive exposure to any particular type of security or issuer. Foreign currency risk The fund invests in overseas securities and the balance sheet can be significantly affected by movements in foreign exchange rates. The Manager seeks to manage exposure to currency movements by using forward foreign exchange contracts. 27

Notes to the Accounts (continued) Revenue received in other currencies is translated to sterling on or near the date of receipt. The fund does not hedge or otherwise seek to avoid currency movement risk on accrued revenue. Currency risk profile The currency risk profile of the fund s net assets at the balance sheet date was as follows: Monetary Non-monetary exposure exposure Total Currency 000 s 000 s 000 s Australian dollar 2016 0 260,933 260,933 2015 78 259,923 260,001 Hong Kong dollar 2016 60 104,499 104,559 2015 24 103,312 103,336 Singapore dollar 2016 0 41,105 41,105 2015 0 44,417 44,417 Sterling 2016 3,623 0 3,623 2015 5,227 0 5,227 US dollar 2016 0 20,112 20,112 2015 0 22,974 22,974 Liquidity risk The primary source of this risk to the fund is the liability to unitholders for any cancellation of units. This risk is minimised by holding cash, readily realisable securities and access to overdraft facilities up to the amount prescribed by the COLL. Interest rate risk Interest receivable on bank balances will be affected by fluctuations in interest rates. 28

Notes to the Accounts (continued) Interest rate risk profile of financial assets and financial liabilities The interest rate risk profile of financial assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date was as follows: Financial assets Floating rate not carrying financial assets interest Total Currency 000 s 000 s 000 s Australian dollar 2016 0 260,933 260,933 2015 1,338 263,098 264,436 Hong Kong dollar 2016 2 104,557 104,559 2015 2 103,334 103,336 Singapore dollar 2016 0 41,105 41,105 2015 0 44,417 44,417 Sterling 2016 11,897 0 11,897 2015 14,680 220 14,900 US dollar 2016 0 20,112 20,112 2015 0 22,974 22,974 Financial liabilities Floating rate not carrying financial liabilities interest Total Currency 000 s 000 s 000 s Australian dollar 2016 0 0 0 2015 3,097 1,338 4,435 Sterling 2016 0 8,274 8,274 2015 1,339 8,334 9,673 There are no material amounts of non-interest bearing financial assets, other than equities, which do not have a maturity date. Floating rate financial assets and financial liabilities Sterling denominated bank balances bear interest at rates based on the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities There is no material difference between the value of the financial assets and liabilities, as shown in the balance sheet, and their fair value. 29

Notes to the Accounts (continued) 14 Direct transaction costs In the case of shares, broker commissions and transfer taxes/stamp duty are paid by the fund on each transaction. In addition, there is a dealing spread between buying and selling prices of the underlying investments. Unlike shares, other types of investments (such as bonds, money market instruments, derivatives) have no separately identifiable transaction costs; these costs form part of the dealing spread. Dealing spreads vary considerably depending on the transaction value and market sentiment.

Average portfolio dealing spread As at the balance sheet date the average portfolio dealing spread was 0.14% (2015 0.53%, based on close of business prices). This spread represents the difference between the values determined respectively by reference to the bid and offer prices of investments expressed as a percentage of the value determined by reference to the offer price. 30
