Investing in Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust

Non-Mainstream Pooled Investments (NMPI) Status

The Company currently conducts its affairs so that its shares can be recommended by IFAs to ordinary retail investors in accordance with the FCA's rules in relation to non-mainstream investment products and intends to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The Company's shares are excluded from the FCA's restrictions which apply to non-mainstream investment products because they are shares in an investment trust.

Fund Risk Considerations

Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust

Credit risk

A decline in the financial health of an issuer could cause the value of its bonds, loans or other debt instruments to fall or become worthless.

Currency risk

The fund may lose value as a result of movements in foreign exchange rates.

Interest rate risk

The fund may lose value as a direct result of interest rate changes.

Liquidity risk

The fund is investing in illiquid instruments. Illiquidity increases the risks that the fund will be unable to sell its holdings in a timely manner in order to meet his financial obligations at a given point in time. It may also mean that there could be delays in investing committed capital into the asset class.

Market risk

The value of investments can go up and down and an investor may not get back the amount initially invested.

Operational risk

Operational processes, including those related to the safekeeping of assets, may fail. This may result in losses to the fund.

Performance Risk

Investment objectives express an intended result but there is no guarantee that such a result will be achieved. Depending on market conditions and the macro economic environment, investment objectives may become more difficult to achieve.

Property development risk

The Fund may invest in property development which may be subject to risks including, risks relating to planning and other regulatory approvals, the cost and timely completion of construction, general market and letting risk, and the availability of both construction and permanent financing on favourable terms.

Real estate and property risk

Real estate investments are subject to a variety of risk conditions such as economic conditions, changes in laws (e.g. environmental and zoning) and other influences on the market.

Concentration risk

The company may be concentrated in a limited number of geographical regions, industry sectors, markets and/or individual positions. This may result in large changes in the value of the company, both up or down, which may adversely impact the performance of the company.

Gearing risk

The company may borrow money to make further investments, this is known as gearing. Gearing will increase returns if the value of the investments purchased increase by more than the cost of borrowing, or reduce returns if they fail to do so. In falling markets, the whole of the value in that investment could be lost, which would result in losses to the fund.
