1 Schroder ISF - Global High Yield A Acc 施羅德環球基金系列 - 環球高收益 A 類股份累積單位 As at 截至 31/07/2019 Important Information 重要事項 The fund invests primarily in below investment grade fixed and floating rate securities. The fund invests in debt securities which may be subject to interest rate, credit and counterparty risks. The fund may invest in unrated and non-investment grade securities which are exposed to greater credit risks. The fund may use derivatives extensively for investment purposes (with a net leverage exposure of over 100%). Derivatives exposure may involve higher counterparty, liquidity and valuation risks. In adverse situations, the fund may suffer significant losses from their derivative usage for hedging. For share classes with a general dividend policy, expenses will be paid out of capital rather than out of gross income. The amount of distributable income therefore increases and the amount so increased may be considered to be dividend paid out of capital. Share classes with a fixed dividend policy may pay out both income and capital in distributions. Where distributions are paid out of capital, this amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of your original investment or capital gains attributable to that and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of shares. You should not make any investment decision solely based on this document. Please read the relevant offering document carefully for further fund details including risk factors. 基金主要投資於信貸評級低於投資級別的定息及浮息證券 基金投資於債務證券或承受利率 信貸及交易對手方風險 基金可投資於未獲評級和不具投資級別的證券而承受較大的信貸風險 基金可為投資目的而大量運用金融衍生工具 ( 淨槓桿風險可能超過資產淨值的 100%) 運用金融衍生工具可涉及較高的對手方 流通性及估值的風險 在不利的情況下, 基金可能會因為使用金融衍生工具作對沖之用而承受重大虧損 一般股息政策的股份類別, 支出將從資本而並非總收入中支付, 可分派收入因此增加, 而增加的部份可被視為從資本中支付的股息 定息政策的股份類別, 其股息可能同時由收入及資本中支付 從資本中支付的派息相當於從閣下原本投資的金額中, 或從該等金額賺取的資本收益中退回或提取部份款項, 可能導致每股資產淨值即時下跌 閣下不應僅倚賴本文件而作出任何投資決定 請詳閱有關銷售文件以得悉基金之詳情包括風險因素 Investment Objective 投資目標 The fund aims to provide income and capital growth by investing in below investment grade fixed and floating rate securities issued worldwide. 基金旨在通過投資於全球各地發行的低於投資級別的定息和浮息證券, 以提供收益和資本增值 Cumulative Performance 累積表現 (%) YTD Fund 基金 (%) Fund 基金 3 Mths 1 Yr 3 個月 1 年 年初至今 Rating Breakdown 信貸評級分佈 (%) AAA 0.28 AA 8.66 A 0.49 BBB BB B àccc NR 1.43 Geographical Breakdown 地區資產分佈 (%) United States 美國 United Kingdom 英國 6.95 Italy 意大利 4.89 Netherlands 荷蘭 4.54 Canada 加拿大 3.76 Luxembourg 盧森堡 3.44 France 法國 2.66 Cayman Islands 開曼群島 1.50 Others 其他 9.82 Cash & Cash Equivalents 現金及現金等值 Yrs 3 年 5 Yrs 5 年 Annual Return 基金總回報 (%) Since Launch 自設立日起 Fund 基金 Top Holdings 主要投資 (%) Sprint 7.125% 15/06/ CCO Holdings 5% 01/02/ Virgin Media Secured Finance 5.5% /05/2029 Pioneer Holdings 9% 01/11/ Cheniere Energy Partners 5.625% /10/2026 NXP 4.3% 18/06/ Aircastle 4.25% 15/06/ Titan Acquisition 7.75% 15/04/ Bausch Health Cos 5.75% 15/08/ CommScope 6% 01/03/ Key Information 基金資料 Unit NAV 單位資產淨值 Hi/Lo (Past 12 mths) 最高 / 最低 ( 過去十二個月 ) Annualised Return (3 yrs) 年度回報率 (3 年 ) Annualised Volatility (3 yrs) 年均相對波幅 (3 年 ) USD ( 美元 ) USD / ( 美元 ) 5.62% 3.76% Beta (3 yrs) 貝他 (3 年 ) 1.02 Sharpe Ratio (3 yrs) 0.98 夏普比率 (3 年 ) Initial Charge up to 首次認購費上限 3.00% Management Fee 管理年費 1.00% p.a.

7 施羅德環球基金系列 - 環球高收益 2. 主權債務風險基金投資於若干發展中國家和已發展國家的政府或其代理發行或保證的債務可能承受政治 社會及經濟風險 政府機構如期償還到期本金和利息的能力或意願受多種因素影響 當政府機構對其主權債務違約, 主權債務持有人 ( 包括基金 ) 或會被要求參與該等債務重組, 額外借款給相關政府機構 基金可能在該等事件中蒙受重大損失 3. 金融衍生工具基金可大量投資於金融衍生工具以達致特定投資目標 不保證該等金融衍生工具的表現會為基金帶來正面影響 衍生工具的槓桿元素 / 成份可導致虧損顯著多於基金投資於金融衍生工具的金額 投資於金融衍生工具或須承受高度的資本虧損風險 涉及金融衍生工具的風險包括 : - 信貸風險和對手方風險 - 基金可能承受任何與基金進行金融衍生工具交易, 或基金透過其進行金融衍生工具交易的對手方因破產 清盤或其他原因導致對手方無力履行責任的風險 - 流動性風險 - 任何特定金融衍生工具的第二市場可能在任何時候缺乏流動性 基金或未能於有利的時機或以有利的價格出售流動性較低的金融衍生工具, 因而減少回報 - 估值風險 - 基金須承受金融衍生工具價格被錯誤釐定或不適當地估值的風險 - 波動性風險 - 由於金融衍生工具通常具備槓桿成份, 基金須承受波動性較大的回報 - 場外交易市場交易風險 - 於場外交易市場交易的金融衍生工具可能較為波動和流動性較低 其價格可包括未披露的經紀差價, 基金可能在買入價中支付該項差價 - 對沖風險 - 基金不保證市場能提供理想的對沖工具, 或對沖技術可以達到預期效果 在不利的情況下, 基金使用的對沖工具可能無效, 並可能因而蒙受重大虧損 4. 集中地理地區 基金投資於集中地理地區或會承受較投資於採用較多元化的投資組合 策略的基金為高的風險 基金的價值可能較容易受影響著相關地理地區的不利經濟 政治 政策 外匯 流動性 稅務 法律或監管事件所影響 5. 新興和較落後市場的風險基金可投資於新興和較落後市場 投資於新興和較落後市場涉及的風險較投資於已發展國家的證券為高, 例如擁有權及保管權風險 政治和經濟風險 市場及結算風險 流動性及波動風險 法律及監管風險 執行及交易對手方風險, 以及貨幣風險 基金的每股資產淨值亦可能負面地受影響, 投資者繼而蒙受損失 4

8 施羅德環球基金系列 - 環球高收益 6. 有關派息的風險 - 就採取一般派息政策的收息股份類別而言, 支出將從資本 ( 非收入 ) 中支付, 可分派收入因此而增加, 而增加的部份可被視為從資本中支付的股息 資本增長將減慢, 在低資本增長時期或會出現資本侵蝕 - 採取固定派息政策的收息股份類別將基於一個固定金額或每股資產淨值的一個固定百分比派息 因此, 派發固定股息之股份類別, 其股息款項可能同時由收入及資本中支付, 或未必將股份類別賺到的大部份投資收入完全派發 - 投資於採取固定派息政策的收息股份類別不是儲蓄帳戶或定息派付投資的替代選擇 採取固定派息政策的收息股份類別所支付的派息百分比與此等股份類別或有關基金的預期或過往收入或回報並不相關 因此, 派息可高於或低於已實際變現的收入及回報 - 採取固定派息政策的收息股份類別將繼續在有關基金錄得負回報或虧損的期間派息, 此舉將進一步減少有關採取固定派息政策的收息股份類別的資產淨值 在極端情況下, 投資者未必能取回原本的投資額 - 投資者應注意, 正派息收益率並不意味正回報 此外, 採取固定派息政策的收息股份類別並不分派固定金額, 而不變的百分比會導致當有關採取固定派息政策的收息股份類別的資產淨值偏高時, 絕對派息將會較高, 以及當有關採取固定派息政策的收息股份類別的資產淨值偏低時, 絕對派息將會較低 - 閣下應注意從資本中支付的派息, 即相當於從閣下原本投資的金額中, 或從該等金額賺取的任何資本收益中退回或提取部份款項, 所以, 該等派息可能導致每股資產淨值即時下跌 - 貨幣對沖股份類別的參考貨幣與基金的基本貨幣的利率差別可能對貨幣對沖股份類別的派息及資產淨值造成不利影響, 導致從資本中支付的派息增加, 使資本被侵蝕的程度較其他非貨幣對沖股份類別為高 7. 有關對沖股份類別的風險 - 對於股份類別之管理公司可將該等股份類別的股份全部對沖基金貨幣的情況下, 將不會考慮基金組合內進行的貨幣投資或貨幣對沖交易 貨幣對沖股份類別之目的以減少股份類別和基金基本貨幣之間匯率浮動之影響, 就基金之投資提供業績回報 然而, 基金運用之對沖策略不保證一定有效 - 當進行該類對沖時, 此種對沖的影響將反映於資產淨值, 從而反映於該種股份類別的表現 同樣, 由於該等對沖交易而引致的任何開支將由開支所涉及的股份類別承擔 - 懇請注意, 參考貨幣相對於有關基金貨幣的價值不論下跌或上升, 均可訂立該等對沖交易, 因此當進行有關對沖, 即可大幅保障有關股份類別投資者避免基金貨幣相對參考貨幣的價值下跌, 惟亦會限制投資者享有基金貨幣升值之利 5

The board of directors will periodically review fixed distribution share classes and reserves the right to make changes.

Consequently when the interest rate of a currency hedged share class is lower than the fund s base currency interest rate, the dividend may be discounted. The level of premium or discount is determined by differences in interest rates and is not part of the fund s investment objective or investment policy.

Objectives and investment strategy Investment Objective The fund aims to provide income and capital growth by investing in below investment grade fixed and floating rate securities issued worldwide. Investment Policy The fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in fixed and floating rate securities that have a below investment grade credit rating (as measured by Standard & Poor s or any equivalent grade of other credit rating agencies). The securities may be denominated in various currencies and issued by governments, government agencies, supra-nationals and companies worldwide. The fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in contingent convertible bonds. The fund is not subject to any limitation on the portion of its net asset value that may be invested in any country (including emerging market countries), region or sector. The fund may also invest in money market instruments and hold cash. Under exceptional circumstances (e.g. market crash or major crisis), the fund may be invested temporarily up to 100% of its net asset value in liquid assets such as bank deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and treasury bills for cash flow management. 2

15 Schroder International Selection Fund Global High Yield Use of financial derivative instruments ( FDI ) The fund may use FDI, long and short, with the aim of achieving investment gains, reducing risk or managing the fund more efficiently. The fund may use leverage. FDI may be employed for instance to generate additional income from exposure to credit risk in purchasing or selling protection through credit default swaps, adjusting the fund s duration through the tactical use of interest related FDI, generating additional income through inflation or volatility linked FDI or increasing its currency exposure through the use of currency related FDI. FDI could also be employed to create synthetic instruments. Such FDI include over-the-counter and/or exchange traded options, futures, warrants, swaps, forward contracts and/or a combination of the above. The fund may use FDI extensively for investment purposes but it is not limited to a particular strategy regarding the usage of FDI. The fund employs the relative Value-at-Risk (VaR) approach to measure its global risk exposure. The relative VaR approach is used for funds where a VaR benchmark reflecting the investment strategy which the fund is pursuing is defined. The expected level of leverage of the fund is 100% of the total net assets by using sum of notionals approach or in the range of 0% to 100% by using commitment approach. The expected level of leverage may be higher when volatility decreases sustainably, when interest rates are expected to change or when credit spreads are expected to widen or tighten. The level of leverage using sum of notionals approach is calculated as (i) the sum of notionals of all FDI entered into by the fund expressed as a percentage of the fund s net asset value and (ii) any additional leverage generated by the reinvestment of collateral in relation to efficient portfolio management transactions. Under the commitment approach, the fund s financial derivative positions are converted into the market value of the equivalent position in the underlying asset; or the notional value or the price of the futures contract where they are more conservative. Netting and hedging rules may also be used. The expected level of leverage is an indicator and not a regulatory limit. What are the key risks? Investment involves risk. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Risk relating to investment in debt securities Credit and counterparty risk Investment in debt securities is subject to the credit/default risk of the issuer which may also adversely affect the settlement of the securities. Interest rate risks Investment in the fund is subject to interest rate risk. In general, the prices of debt securities rise when interest rates fall, whilst their prices fall when interest rates rise. Below investment grade and unrated debt securities Investments in fixed income securities below investment grade or unrated are generally subject to higher degree of counterparty risk, credit risk, volatility risk, liquidity risk and risk of loss of principal and interest than higher rated securities. Credit ratings risk Credit ratings assigned by rating agencies are subject to limitations and do not guarantee the creditworthiness of the security and/or issuer at all times. Credit downgrading risk The credit rating of debt securities or their issuers may subsequently downgraded. In the event of such downgrading, the value of the fund may be adversely affected. The investment manager may not dispose of such securities immediately and the fund may therefore be subject to additional risk of loss. Liquidity and volatility risk Securities not listed or rated or actively traded may have low liquidity and higher volatility. The prices of such securities may be subject to fluctuations. The bid and offer spread of their price may be high and the fund may therefore incur significant trading costs and may even suffer losses when selling such instruments. Valuation risk Valuation of the fund s investment may involve uncertainties and judgmental determinations. If such valuation turns out to be incorrect, this may affect the net asset value calculation of the fund. 3

16 Schroder International Selection Fund Global High Yield 2. Sovereign debt risk Investment in sovereign debt obligations issued or guaranteed by governments or their agencies of certain developing countries and certain developed countries may expose the fund to political, social and economic risks. A government entity s willingness or ability to repay principal and interest due in a timely manner may be affected by various factors. In the event that a government entity defaults on its sovereign debt, holders of sovereign debt, including the fund, may be requested to participate in the rescheduling of such debt and to extend further loans to the relevant government entity. The fund may suffer significant losses in such events. 3. FDI The fund may use FDI extensively to meet its specific investment objective. There is no guarantee that the performance of FDI will result in a positive effect for the fund. The leverage element/component of derivatives can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested in the FDI by the fund. FDI exposure may lead to a high risk of significant capital loss. Risks associated with FDI include: Credit risk and Counterparty risk The fund will be subject to the risk of the inability of any counterparty through or with which the fund conducts the FDI transactions to perform its obligations, whether due to insolvency, bankruptcy or other causes. Liquidity risk There may be possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular FDI at any time. The fund may be unable to sell illiquid FDI at an advantageous time or price and results in a reduction of returns. Valuation risk The fund is subject to the risk of mispricing or improper valuation of FDI. Volatility risk The fund is subject to the risk of higher volatility of the returns as FDI usually have a leverage component. Over-the-counter ( OTC ) transaction risks FDI traded in OTC markets may be more volatile and less liquid. Its prices may include an undisclosed dealer mark-up which a fund may pay as part of the purchase price. Hedging risk There is no guarantee that the desired hedging instruments will be available or hedging techniques will achieve their desired result. In adverse situations, the use of hedging instruments may become ineffective in hedging and the fund may suffer significant losses. 4. Concentrated geographical locations The fund investing in concentrated geographical locations may be subject to a higher level of risks comparing to a fund investing in a more diversified portfolio/strategy. The value of the fund may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the relevant geographical locations. 5. Emerging and less developed markets The fund may invest in emerging and less developed markets. Investing in emerging and less developed markets is subject to greater risks than investing in securities of developed countries such as ownership and custody risks, political and economic risks, market and settlement risks, liquidity and volatility risk, legal and regulatory risks, execution and counterparty risk, and currency risk, which may adversely affect the net asset value per share of the fund and investors may as a result suffer losses. 4

Risks relating to distributions For distribution share classes with a general dividend policy, expenses will be paid out of capital rather than out of gross income. The amount of distributable income therefore increases and the amount so increased may be considered to be dividend paid out of capital; capital growth will be reduced and in periods of low growth capital erosion may occur. Distribution share classes with a fixed dividend policy will distribute the dividends based on a fixed amount or fixed percentage of the net asset value per share. This may result in share classes with fixed distributions either paying out both income and capital in distribution payments, or not substantially distributing all the investment income which a share class has earned. Investments in distribution share classes with fixed dividend policy are not an alternative to a savings account or fixed-interest paying investment. The percentage of distributions paid by distribution share classes with fixed dividend policy is unrelated to expected or past income or returns of these share classes or the fund. The distribution can thus be higher or lower than the income and return that were effectively realised. Distribution share classes with fixed dividend policy will continue to distribute in periods that the fund has negative returns or is making losses, which further reduces the net asset value of the distribution Share Classes with fixed dividend policy. In extreme circumstances, investors may not be able to get back the original investment amount. Investors should note that a positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return. Distribution share classes with a fixed dividend policy do not distribute a fixed amount and the constant percentage of distribution results in higher absolute distributions when the net asset value of the relevant Distribution share classes with fixed dividend policy is high, and lower absolute distributions when the net asset value of the relevant distribution share classes with fixed dividend policy is low. You should note that in the circumstances where the payment of distributions are paid out of capital, this represents and amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of the amount you originally invested or capital gains attributable to that and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of shares. The distribution amount and net asset value of the currency hedged share class may be adversely affected by differences in the interest rates of the reference currency of the currency hedged share classes and the fund s base currency, resulting in an increase in the amount of distribution that is paid out of capital and hence a greater erosion of capital than other non-currency hedged share classes. 7. Risks relating to hedging and the hedged classes In respect of the share classes which the management company of the fund has the ability to fully hedge the shares of such share classes in relation to the fund currency, currency exposures or currency hedging transactions within the fund s portfolio will not be considered. The aim of currency hedged share class is to provide you with the performance returns of the fund s investments by reducing the effects of exchange rate fluctuations between the share class s and the fund s base currency. However there is no assurance that the hedging strategies employed will be effective. Where undertaken, the effects of this hedging will be reflected in the net asset value and, therefore, in the performance of such share class. Similarly, any expenses arising from such hedging transactions will be borne by the share class in relation to which the expenses have been incurred. It should be noted that these hedging transactions may be entered into whether the reference currency is declining or increasing in value relative to the relevant fund currency and so, where such hedging is undertaken it may substantially protect investors in the relevant share class against a decrease in the value of the fund currency relative to the reference currency, but it may also preclude investors from benefiting from an increase in the value of the fund currency. 5

18 Schroder International Selection Fund Global High Yield There can be no assurance that the currency hedging employed will fully eliminate the currency exposure to the reference currency. 8. Currency risks Assets and share classes may be denominated in currencies other than USD and some may not be freely convertible. The fund may be adversely affected by changes in foreign exchange rates and exchange rate controls of the currencies in which securities are held, the reference currencies of the share classes and the US Dollar. This exposes all share classes of the fund to exchange rate fluctuations and currency risk. It may not be practicable or possible to hedge against such foreign exchange/currency risk exposure.
