Removal of provision of short report In its recent paper discussing smarter consumer communications, the FCA have removed the requirement to produce the half-yearly short report from November 22, 2016, deeming the short report to be an ineffective method of communicating to unitholders. Following this ruling, we will cease to produce short reports for all accounting periods ending after January 1, 2017. The long form report and accounts will continue to be available on request or can be downloaded from the website at www.schroders.co.uk. The Prospectus, Key Investor Information Document and Fund Factsheet contain additional useful unitholder information and are also available upon request or can be downloaded from the website. |

Schroder Asian Alpha Plus Fund |
Conversion from a non-UCITS retail fund to a UCITS fund As from 1 April 2016, Schroder Asian Alpha Plus Fund will be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority as a ‘UCITS scheme’ instead of being authorised as a ‘non-UCITS retail scheme’ (NURS). (A UCITS scheme is an open-ended collective investment fund which complies with the requirements of the UCITS Directive). The main difference between a NURS fund and a UCITS fund is that an investment manager has slightly wider investment powers under the rules applying to NURS funds. The Fund has not used these additional powers. Consequently, there are no changes to the Fund’s investment objective or policy, and the way it is managed will not change. |

|
Schroder Core UK Equity Fund |
Schroder Core UK Equity Fund, a sub-fund of Schroder Investment Fund Company, currently aims to achieve long term capital and income growth through investment primarily in the United Kingdom. The fund has followed an investment approach based around the business cycle, where the managers attempt to identify turning points in the cycle and then focus on the types of companies they believe will benefit from it. The investment team has decided that the fund will now move away from business cycle investing and towards a core bottom up investment approach. The change does not require an amendment to the fund’s investment objective and policy but the Key investor information document has been revised to reflect this change in approach. |
