Unitholder communication

2 September 2019

Multiple funds

On 5 August we wrote to unitholders/shareholders of our UK fund range noting that we were making changes to each fund’s objective and policy which may include: 

  • the introduction of a formal target return benchmark which we believe better reflects the performance aims of the fund.

  • a revised investment policy with updated language on how the fund seeks to meet its objectives and a new disclosure on how the fund manager might invest in securities outside of the fund’s primary focus.

We have also introduced comparator benchmarks for most funds which can be used for performance comparison purposes during the life of the fund but is not set as a performance target. The comparator benchmarks will be set out in the fund prospectus and key investor information documents. 

For a very limited number of funds we have added a constraining benchmark, where the manager’s discretion is restricted to invest to a certain degree in components of the benchmark.  The constraining benchmark will be set out in the fund prospectus and key investor information documents.
The investment objective and policy changes were effected on 7 August and all relevant fund prospectuses and key investor information documents have been updated accordingly. 

The amendments do not alter the way that each fund is managed and the fund’s allowable investments and risk profile are unchanged.
Unitholders/shareholders do not need to take any action in response to these changes.

SARFCO* UK Dynamic Absolute Return Fund

Paul Marriage and John Warren, the managers of the fund, have decided to leave Schroders’ employment to pursue a personal ambition to start their own business. They are expected to leave Schroders in the fourth quarter of 2017, with our agreement.

Paul and John are setting up Tellworth Investments LLP with BennBridge, a boutique fund manager platform. BennBridge will become the investment manager of the fund when Paul and John leave Schroders, subject to regulatory approval and due diligence. Paul and John will continue to manage the fund. The investment objectives of the fund will not change as a result.

Schroders is delighted that it will be able to continue the successful relationship with Paul and John while enabling them to pursue their personal ambition of starting their own company. This will enable our clients to remain fully invested in the fund with no substantive change of manager or investment process.

We remain fully committed to our clients and look forward to working with John, Paul and the team at BennBridge in the future.

Q4 2017

All UK Bond Funds 

Changes to Tax Treatment of Interest Distributions from 6 April 2017

What’s changed?

With effect from 6th April 2017, UK bond funds will now pay or accumulate interest distributions gross (i.e. without deduction of income tax) to all investors. Prior to this date there was a requirement to determine whether investors were entitled to receive distributions gross or net of tax.

What does this mean for me?

  • If you are an investor in a UK bond fund and you are a non-taxpayer, this should make things easier for you as you will no longer have to reclaim tax withheld on interest distributions from HMRC.
  • Investors who are entitled to the Personal Savings Allowance (£1,000 for basic rate taxpayers and £500 for higher rate taxpayers) will not owe any tax on interest distributions up to this amount (taken in aggregate with other sources of interest) and may not need to file a tax return simply to declare their interest income, although if you currently file a self assessment tax return for other purposes, you should continue to do so.
  • If you do not currently file a tax return and tax is due, get in touch with HMRC and register for a personal tax account.  HMRC can also collect any unpaid tax via PAYE coding adjustments.

Do I need to do anything?

No, this has all happened automatically.

Where can I find out more?

If you would like to know more, visit www.gov.uk/hmrc. We are unable to provide any advice on your individual circumstances. Should you need any advice, we recommend that you speak to your financial or tax adviser.

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.

As from 1 October 2015, Schroder Asian Alpha Plus Fund’s benchmark will be changed from the MSCI AC Far East ex Japan (NDR) Index to the MSCI AC Asia ex Japan (NDR) Index.  The Fund’s benchmark provides a standard against which the performance of a fund can be measured. We believe that the new benchmark is a better comparator for the Fund’s performance as it includes India, the second biggest market economy in the region. The adoption of the benchmark does not impact the way in which the Fund is managed.
