Schroders Personal Wealth Asia ex Japan & Global Emerging Markets Equity Fd X GBP Acc

Investment Objective The fund aims to provide capital growth and income in excess of the custom benchmark* (after fees have been deducted) over five to seven years by investing in the equities of companies in the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan) and in global emerging markets. Investment Policy The fund is actively managed and invests at least 80% of its assets in equities of companies in the Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) region and in global emerging markets. These companies may be chosen from any industry or economic sector. There are no restrictions on the size of company in which the fund may invest, however, investment will focus on large sized and medium sized companies. The fund may also invest in companies headquartered or quoted on developed markets if those companies derive a significant proportion of their revenues or profits in the Asia Pacific region or in emerging markets. The Fund may also invest in other securities, countries (including Japan) and regions. The fund will not invest in companies that: i) derive more than a specific proportion of their revenue from certain environmentally and societally damaging activities (as listed under “Exclusion Thresholds” in the Fund Characteristics section below); and ii) have materially poor environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, as determined by each Sub-Investment Adviser’s ESG framework. These are companies that are viewed as causing significant environmental or social harm and/or have poor ESG governance procedures. However, the fund may invest in such companies where the Sub-Investment Adviser in each case is confident that the company will be deemed to be no longer having materially poor ESG factors within a reasonable timeframe (please see the Fund Characteristics section below for more information). The fund may invest in collective investment schemes (including those managed by the ACD, the Investment Adviser and their associates) and money market instruments and hold cash. The fund may use derivatives with the aim of reducing risk and managing the Fund more efficiently (often referred to as ‘efficient portfolio management’). Benchmark The fund’s performance should be assessed against its target benchmark, being to exceed the custom benchmark, as set out in the fund’s investment objective. The target benchmark has been selected because it is representative of the types of investments in which the fund is likely to invest, and it is, therefore, an appropriate target in relation to the return that the fund aims to provide. The investment adviser invests on a discretionary basis and is not limited to investing in accordance with the composition of the benchmark. Dealing Frequency You may redeem your investment upon demand. The fund deals daily. Distribution Policy The share class accumulates income received from the fund’s investments, meaning it is kept in the fund and its value is reflected in the price of the share class.
