Following an extraordinary 2009, 2010 has started with a degree of trepidation from the market. Despite sharp rebounds since the lows of March 2009, the world economy still has many uncertainties and headwinds to face. Looking forward to 2010, an awareness of the long-term trends shaping the global economy remains essential to successful stockpicking.
As ever, our Fund Managers continue to look through market noise and
short-term volatility to seek out opportunities to increase exposure to quality
assets at attractive valuations. In recognition of this dedication, we are delighted
to announce that the Schroder Japan Growth Fund, managed by Andrew Rose
was awarded Best Japan Fund at the Investment Week, Investment Trust Awards.
At Schroders we continue to provide as much access to our investment teams as possible. We hope to welcome you at one of our forthcoming lunches over the next few months to meet with our managers and other fellow investors.
