Risk factors:The fund can be exposed to different currencies. Changes in foreign exchange rates could create losses.High yield bonds (normally lower rated or unrated) generally carry greater market, credit and liquidity risk.A rise in interest rates generally causes bond prices to fall.A decline in the financial health of an issuer could cause the value of its bonds to fall or become worthless.A failure of a deposit institution or an issuer of a money market instrument could create losses.Equity prices fluctuate daily, based on many factors including general, economic, industry or company news.In difficult market conditions, the fund may not be able to sell a security for full value or at all. This could affect performance and could cause the fund to defer or suspend redemptions of its shares.Failures at service providers could lead to disruptions of fund operations or losses.The counterparty to a derivative or other contractual agreement or synthetic financial product could become unable to honour its commitments to the fund, potentially creating a partial or total loss for the fund. A derivative may not perform as expected, and may create losses greater than the cost of the derivative.The fund uses derivatives for leverage, which makes it more sensitive to certain market or interest rate movements and may cause above-average volatility and risk of loss.

What did we say last time?

Edinburgh Conference – 2017

Source: Majedie and Schroders.

Previous views– Moving from Quantitative Easing to

Quantitative Tightening– A return of volatility?– Diversification harder to achieve?– Inflationary pressures

2017 outcomes– Volatility at record lows– Inflation highest since 2011– Total QE in 2017 was biggest ever

Towards the end…– Europe halved QE– Japan struggling to find bonds to buy– Central Banks balance sheets are shrinking

2017 performance

‘The right notes, in the wrong order’

Source: Schroders, January 2018.

We were broadly correct in our outlook and were positioned for…– Global growth & inflation– Continued improvement in employment data– Wage growth– A weaker USD– Stronger Gold (reflation trade)

But…– Growth did not create volatility– Momentum trades persisted– Growth without inflation became

the narrative– Tech led the markets– Value continued to underperform– Our Alternatives (excl. Gold) were a drag

Things to consider

Page 16: #SICM18 @Schroders UK...The counterparty to a derivative or other contractual agreement or synthetic financial product could become unable to honour its commitments to the fund, potentially

Inflation could yet accelerate

Furthermore consider the following:

End to Goldilocks?

Source: Schroders.

China’s labour shortage

Wage growth is accelerating

Commodities price rises (Oil US$26 to US$75)

Trump cut taxes with unemployment at a low 4.1%

An end to Goldilocks means

Health warning: Our view is all assets are fully priced, we can only consider relative value

Emerging Markets equity over Developed Markets equity (but really just US)

Risk factors:The fund can be exposed to different currencies. Changes in foreign exchange rates could create losses.High yield bonds (normally lower rated or unrated) generally carry greater market, credit and liquidity risk.A rise in interest rates generally causes bond prices to fall.A decline in the financial health of an issuer could cause the value of its bonds to fall or become worthless.A failure of a deposit institution or an issuer of a money market instrument could create losses.Equity prices fluctuate daily, based on many factors including general, economic, industry or company news.In difficult market conditions, the fund may not be able to sell a security for full value or at all. This could affect performance and could cause the fund to defer or suspend redemptions of its shares.Failures at service providers could lead to disruptions of fund operations or losses.The counterparty to a derivative or other contractual agreement or synthetic financial product could become unable to honour its commitments to the fund, potentially creating a partial or total loss for the fund. A derivative may not perform as expected, and may create losses greater than the cost of the derivative.The fund uses derivatives for leverage, which makes it more sensitive to certain market or interest rate movements and may cause above-average volatility and risk of loss.
