Past performance is not a guide to future performance and may not be repeated. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Schroders has expressed its own views and these may change. The data contained in this document has been sourced by Schroders and should be independently verified before further publication or use. This presentation is intended to be for information purposes only and it is not intended as promotional material in any respect. The material is not intended as an offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of any financial instrument. The material is not intended to provide, and should not be relied on for, accounting, legal or tax advice, or investment recommendations. Information herein is believed to be reliable but Schroder Unit Trusts Limited (Schroders) does not warrant its completeness or accuracy. No responsibility can be accepted for error of fact or opinion. This does not exclude or restrict any duty or liability that Schroders has to its customers under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended from time to time) or any other regulatory system. Reliance should not be placed on the views and information in the document when taking individual investment and/or strategic decisions. Schroder Absolute UK Dynamic Fund: Typically, UK authorised collective investment schemes invest on a 'long-only' basis. This means that they will rise (or fall) in value based on the market value of the assets they hold. By employing synthetic shorting techniques, this fund will establish both 'long' and "short" investments. As a result, as well as holding assets that may fall or rise with market values, it will also hold positions that will rise in value as the market falls and fall in value as the market rises. Therefore, this fund is referred to as a 'long/short' fund. The fund will primarily invest in UK shares or derivatives thereof. This presents investors with some concentration risk. Moreover, as it invests in shares the fund may be more volatile than funds investing in bonds, but that may also offer greater potential for growth. The fund may use derivatives and forward transactions for investment purposes. This involves special risks which may significantly raise the risk profile of a fund and increase its volatility when taking additional market or securities exposure. Further information on the performance fee and risks of the fund can be found in the full Prospectus and Key Investor Information document. The levels and bases of tax assumptions may change. Schroder UK Dynamic Smaller Companies Fund The historic yield reflects distributions declared over the past 12 months as a percentage of the mid-market unit price, at the date shown. It does not include any preliminary charge and investors may be subject to tax on their distributions. The fund primarily invests in equities and as such tends to be more volatile than a fund investing in bonds, but may also offer greater potential for growth. The value of the underlying investments in equity funds may fluctuate quite dramatically in response to the activities and results of individual companies, as well as in connection with general market and economic conditions. This is a specialist fund, which invests in small, less liquid companies. The fund is likely to provide a higher level of volatility and thus may carry increased risk. The levels and bases of tax assumptions may change. Schroder AS UK Dynamic Absolute Return Fund: The capital is not guaranteed. All equity forward sales are with a single counterparty. In case of default, the relevant equities will be sold in the market and this may affect performance. The fund may hold indirect short exposure in anticipation of a decline of prices of these exposures or increase of interest rate. There is no guarantee that a financial derivative contract will achieve its intended outcome, even if the terms of the contract are completely satisfied.
