Schroder Mutual Funds

 

June 9, 2013

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

There is a sense of déjà vu hanging over investors at present. For the past three years, equity markets have started the year strongly on the back of increased optimism about the world economy, only to lose faith in the spring and fall back. The “sell in May and go away” strategy has worked well.

 

Recent figures suggest that 2013 is following a similar pattern. The latest Purchasing Manager’s Indices’ (PMIs) gave a downbeat message indicating a loss of manufacturing momentum in April. Output PMI’s fell in the US, China and the Euro area, suggesting a deceleration in global industrial production.

 

The inventory cycle picked up at the end of last year when firms realized that the tail risks of a Euro break up or hard landing in China were not going to materialize, as central banks stepped up policy support. As we entered 2013, it also became clear that the US was not about to commit fiscal suicide by going over the cliff. Consequently as demand held up, firms had to increase production to boost inventory levels. The PMI figures suggest this effect has now played out. On the US fiscal front, although the worst was not realized, taxes still rose by around 1% of GDP, primarily on wage earners. The initial reaction suggested that spending had withstood the hit as consumption held up over the first quarter. However, this was only achieved through a sharp fall in the household savings rate and the signs are that consumers are now bringing spending back into line with disposable income.

 

In addition, we have had the sequester kick in from March 1st bringing sharp cuts in defense and welfare spending. There will be cuts in public employment and defense orders as a result. Although we do not expect total job losses to meet the 750,000 predicted by the Congressional Budget Office, non-farm payroll figures could be impacted with possible losses.

 

Despite increasing signs of slower activity, equity markets and risk assets generally continue to rally. It is possible that the signs of slowdown have yet to percolate through to investors and that we are heading for a significant correction later in the 3rd quarter 2013 as this becomes apparent. Alternatively, investors may be simply looking through the current weakness and taking the view that the US is on the road to recovery having made considerable progress in de-leveraging and restoring the health of its banking system. From this perspective, the recent data heralds a soft patch rather than the start of a new recession or slump.

 

This would be in line with our macro view where we see the US economy picking up pace again in the second half of the year. Growth can head back toward 3% as we still see scope for an improvement in the cyclical components of activity such as housing and autos, which remain depressed by historic standards. News that issuance of sub-prime auto loan securities are booming (up 60% year-on-year in the first quarter according to the Financial Times) supports this forecast.

 

While the idea of looking through the soft patch is consistent with our own view of the US, it does not tie in completely with the wider global story. For example, we are less optimistic about Europe. More policy stimulus is needed as there is little sign that the easing of financial conditions since last summer has fed through to stronger lending activity and growth. In the emerging markets, growth is still good by developed world standards, but there has been weakness in commodity prices, a pick-up in inflationary pressure and policy makers are considering tighter monetary policy. Brazil has already raised its policy rate and slower growth seems in prospect.

 

The three speed world has become a feature of the world economy with the emerging world still enjoying the strongest growth, the US recovering and Europe stagnating.

 

To some extent the equity markets are reflecting this picture. The emerging equity markets are lagging the US in terms of performance. And from a multi-asset perspective we have seen the rise in risk assets accompanied by a rally in government bonds. Such a combination is relatively unusual as equity and bond markets tend to have been negatively correlated for much of the post-crisis era as growth expectations have waxed and waned (i.e., rising growth expectations have been accompanied by rising equity markets and falling bond prices/rising yields).  This pattern of market behavior during the first part of 2013 suggests liquidity is driving risk assets by forcing bond yields down and pushing investors out along the risk curve in a search for yield. More recently, bond yields have started to rise, but the demand for risk assets has not abated.

 

Looking at the sector breakdown of the rally it is clear that the search for yield is driving markets, not expectations of stronger global growth. According to the Wall Street Journal, within the 9% rise in the S&P500 this year as of April 30, healthcare is up 19%, consumer staples 17% and utilities 16%. These defensive sectors are bought for their steady dividends and relative insulation from the economic cycle. By contrast the underperformers are the cyclical sectors: IT, energy and materials.

From this perspective, quantitative easing in Japan, alongside that in the US, is driving the equity rally as investors search for stocks which resemble bonds. Slower growth could lead to lower valuations in the near term, but if it leads to expectations of even more quantitative easing or other central bank action, 2013 could buck the recent trend and the rally will continue.

 

As we stated in the Funds’ Annual Report, in this type of environment, we believe that the investor who maintains a diversified portfolio — both across asset classes and geographic borders — should be able to weather the bumpy periods better than those who have high concentrations in one or two sectors or regions. We encourage you to consult with your financial advisor to ascertain whether your current mix of investments is suitable for your long-term objectives.

 

Again, we thank you for including Schroders in your financial plan and we look forward to our continued relationship.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mark A. Hemenetz, CFA

 

President

Schroder North American Equity Fund

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of June 9, 2013)

 

Performance

 

In the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Schroder North American Equity Fund (the “Fund”) rose 13.87% (Investor Shares) and 13.72% (Advisor Shares).  For the same six-month period, the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”) rose by 14.42%.

 

Market Background

 

US equity markets enjoyed strong gains over the six-month period. There was some nervousness in the early part of the period due to the looming fiscal cliff, while concerns over global growth also hit investor confidence. However, US equities started 2013 on a positive footing after a last minute agreement was reached to avert the fiscal cliff. Solid non-farm payroll data also lifted sentiment. Investor confidence was slightly dented by the release of minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) January meeting, which indicated that some officials were worried about the costs and risks of further asset purchases.

 

Towards the end of February, fears grew that sequestration — the $85 billion of programmed spending cuts due to begin in March — would have a negative impact on the economy. However, further better macroeconomic indicators — including encouraging jobs data, strong housing market figures and improvement in the manufacturing sector — helped to support positive sentiment. April saw the release of weaker-than-expected first quarter US GDP data, but this disappointment was offset by a rise in consumer spending and some decent corporate results which helped propel gains in equity markets. In addition, the FOMC’s March meeting brought no surprises, reaffirming the Fed Funds rate at 0.00-0.25% and that agency mortgage-backed securities would continue to be purchased at a pace of $40 billion per month.

 

Portfolio Review

 

The Fund and the Index both delivered strong gains over the six-month period, with the Fund’s returns marginally underperforming the Index. Much of this performance gap can be attributed to weaker stock selection in the materials sector, with gold and mining holdings accounting for most of the underperformance. Energy was also a detractor, with weakness in oil and gas exploration and production holdings offsetting gains in oil and gas refiners. Consumer discretionary holdings were a drag on performance with weakness in media stocks.

 

Turning to contributors, the Fund’s larger relative exposure to healthcare helped pare some of the underperformance with stronger stock selection in the biotech sector. Financials also made a positive contribution, driven by life and health insurers and by complex banks.

 

Outlook

 

We believe the Fund’s portfolio remains well diversified in a broad range of opportunities across the market and that it is structured to perform across a broad range of market environments. Multiple investment strategies are spread across a large number of small stock positions to capture broad themes and limit stock-specific risk, while top down risks (such as those arising from region and sector positions) we believe are carefully managed.

Schroder U.S. Opportunities Fund

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of June 9, 2013)

 

Performance

 

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Schroder U.S. Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) rose 14.14% (Investor Shares) and 13.94% (Advisor Shares) compared to the Russell 2000 Index (the “Index”), a broad-based basket of stocks with characteristics similar to the Fund’s portfolio, which rose 16.58%.

 

Market Background

 

The US equity market has enjoyed a strong run over the reporting period beginning shortly after the presidential election last November.  In contrast to earlier periods which were characterized by “risk on/risk off”, this period showed a unique flavor of “risk on”.  The singularity is that during this period the lower beta sectors have led the rally while the high beta sectors have lagged.  While there are a few exceptions to this, the overall trend has been clear. What is unusual is to have a powerful rally fueled by the lower beta groups. Specifically, sectors with a beta below one (financials, consumer staples, healthcare) outperformed.  The lone exception was utilities.  High beta sectors such as energy, technology and materials and processing lagged.  Four of the five leading sectors have a beta of less than one: healthcare (0.93), financials (0.83) and consumer staples (0.83).  The lone exception was consumer discretionary (1.08).

 

The period was characterized by generally positive news in the US from the labor and housing markets, which, when combined with accommodative Fed policy, has supported an environment hospitable to risk assets (i.e., equities and equity substitutes).  GDP growth is on a moderate recovery path; the primary drag on the economy currently is a negative contribution from the government sector as expenditures and employment are down due to austerity measures and balanced budget mandates at the state and local levels.

 

Portfolio Review

 

The Fund lagged the Index for the six-month period ended April 30, 2013.  Given the strength of the market over this time frame, this is consistent with the Fund’s general tendency to lag in strongly rising environments.  As noted in the commentary above, this period has been in sharp contrast to the prior fiscal year in that lower beta stocks in general outperformed high beta names in the current period.

 

The Fund’s underperformance was driven by cash and lagging stock selection in three sectors: energy, healthcare and materials and processing.  The energy lag came from exposure to higher beta names in the exploration and production industry such as Laredo Petroleum Holdings and PetroQuest Energy.  We believe that recent asset sales have improved Laredo’s balance sheet; we believe that the company’s holdings in the Permian Basin will positively impact future results.  PetroQuest has had several stumbles, and we have exited the position.  In healthcare, the Fund was hurt by an underweight in pharmaceuticals, which was one of the strongest performing industries in the sector.  The Fund also lagged in the medical and dental instruments group as companies with exposure overseas (e.g., Volcano), particularly in Japan, were hurt by weakening demand and currencies in those markets.  We added value in medical services and health care facilities, areas we expect to benefit from the January 2014 implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare) due to the large increase in the population having health insurance, but this was not enough to overcome the drags noted above.  Finally, in materials and processing, the Fund’s biggest drag was from its gold exposure.  Gold prices have been falling and this has a direct impact on these stocks. Pretium Resources is an example, and as a pre-development company, it has been particularly vulnerable to the falling commodity price.  Given its high quality gold deposits in Canada, seasoned management team and expectations of being able to produce gold at $400 per ounce (as of this writing current gold prices are approximately $1,380/ounce), we are positive on Pretium’s longer term prospects.

 

On the positive side, the Fund saw good stock selection in producer durables, financials and technology.  In producer durables the Fund benefitted from holdings in the trucking industry, HR and consulting industry and air transport.  Roadrunner Transportation Systems, a trucking company, reported better than expected earnings and margin expansion.  Projections of increasing volume further boosted the stock. Towers Watson, an HR and actuarial consulting firm, is poised to benefit from the ACA.  On Assignment was another salutary holding as the staffing firm, which specializes in medical, scientific and technology placements, benefitted from the improving labor market.  In the air travel industry, discount airline Spirit Airlines reported strong earnings with expanding margins and an industry-leading return on invested capital.

 

Outlook

 

The US equity market has had a very strong run since mid-November. This has created some difficulties for the Fund’s style, as long-term observers might expect.  We believe there will be a market pullback at some point.  This should provide the opportunity to make some adjustments in the Fund’s portfolio as more attractive price points are presented for initiating and adding to positions.

 

One area where we are spending significant time and effort is the implementation of the ACA, which begins in large part in January 2014. The legislation is not only complicated, it contains multiple layers of complexity.  We are working to identify likely winners and losers as the American health care system enters a profound systemic change.  It is our feeling that some changes are not well understood or impacts are overestimated by investors.

 

5



 

For example, the current common wisdom is that hospitals will be winners due to a larger number of patients with insurance coverage, which would translate into both higher revenues and lower bad debt expense for the hospitals.  While we generally agree, we are not confident that higher revenue expectations will be fully met as some of the payment rates are likely to be lower than anticipated.  Another interesting development is an emerging trend for a number of companies to self-insure for healthcare coverage and to use insurance brokers to effectively function as re-insurance agents to cover the potential risk of non-routine (i.e., high cost) treatments in their covered populations.

 

While we believe that overall levels of market valuation are not cheap, we do feel we can work with them.  We are believers in the recovery in the US which is being led by housing, manufacturing and energy. The housing and energy stories are well known.  In the manufacturing sector, it is worth noting that auto sales in the US are now running just slightly below their pre-Lehman peak at a rate of 15.3 million units, applying Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rates.  While this is not at the 17 million sales level seen in the early 2000s, it is a strong recovery from the 2009 bottom of 9.2 million.

Schroder U.S. Small and Mid Cap Opportunities Fund

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of June 9, 2013)

 

Performance

 

In the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Schroder U.S. Small and Mid Cap Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) rose 14.76% (Investor Shares) and 14.64% (Advisor Shares) compared to the Russell 2500 Index (the “Index”), a broad-based basket of stocks with characteristics similar to the Fund’s portfolio, which rose 17.94%.

 

Market Background

 

The US equity market enjoyed a strong run over the reporting period beginning shortly after the presidential election last November.  In contrast to earlier periods which were characterized by “risk on/risk off”, this period showed a unique flavor of “risk on”.  The singularity is that during this period the lower beta sectors have led the rally while the high beta sectors have lagged.  While there are a few exceptions to this, the overall trend has been clear. What is unusual is to have a powerful rally fueled by the lower beta groups. Specifically, sectors with a beta below one (financials, consumer staples, healthcare) outperformed.  The lone exception was utilities.  High beta sectors such as energy, technology and materials and processing lagged.  Four of the five leading sectors have a beta of less than one: healthcare (0.93), financials (0.83) and consumer staples (0.83).  The lone exception was consumer discretionary (1.08).

 

The period was characterized by generally positive news in the US from the labor and housing markets, which, when combined with accommodative Fed policy, has supported an environment hospitable to risk assets (i.e., equities and equity substitutes).  GDP growth is on a moderate recovery path; the primary drag on the economy currently is a negative contribution from the government sector as expenditures and employment are down due to austerity measures and balanced budget mandates at the state and local levels.

 

Portfolio Review

 

The Fund lagged the Index for the six-month period ended April 30, 2013.  Given the strength of the market over this time frame, this is consistent with the Fund’s general tendency to lag in strongly rising environments.  As noted in the commentary above, this period has been in sharp contrast to the prior fiscal year in that lower beta stocks, in general, outperformed high beta names in the current period.

 

From an asset allocation viewpoint, the Fund’s biggest detractor was cash, which averaged 5.9% during the six-month reporting period.  Although still a detractor, it is worth noting that the Fund’s cash levels are down significantly from its historical average.  Two other allocation positions are noteworthy: our overweight in technology and our underweight in financials detracted from performance, as financials were one of the strongest sectors for the half year.

 

Within the sectors, the Fund had negative contributions to relative return from its stock selection in materials and processing, financial services and energy.  In the materials and processing group, the Fund’s biggest detractors were Yamana Gold and Royal Gold - both gold producers which fell with the declining price of gold.  In financial services, a big part of the lag was due to the Fund’s underweight in REITs. Also, two positions in the property-casualty industry, PartnerRe and Willis Group Holding, despite rising 14.67% and 14.84% respectively, contributed to the lag.

 

We did add value through stock selection, however, driven by the Fund’s holdings in healthcare, producer durables and technology. Life Technologies was the Fund’s biggest contributor as the company announced its agreement to be acquired by ThermoFisher Scientific. Producer durables were led by the Fund’s holdings in air transport companies, Spirit Airlines and Alaska Air Group. Alaska Air operates two subsidiaries: Alaska Air and Horizon Air.  Alaska Air’s stock has been rising due to growth in passenger volume and strong metrics on revenues per passenger mile. Spirit is a low cost airline which is focused on high asset utilization, high density and actively separating ancillary services from base ticket prices.  Ancillary revenues (baggage fees, etc.) account for 40% of total revenues.

 

Outlook

 

The US equity market has had a very strong run since mid-November. This has created some difficulties for the Fund’s style, as long-term observers might expect.  We believe there will be a market pullback at some point.  This should provide an opportunity to make some adjustments in the Fund’s portfolio as more attractive price points are presented for initiating and adding to positions.

 

One area where we are spending significant time and effort is the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare) which begins in January 2014.

The value of an investment in the Fund and the return on investment both will fluctuate and redemption proceeds may be higher or lower than an investor’s original cost.

Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of June 9, 2013)

 

Performance

 

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund (the “Fund”) gained 5.93% (Investor Shares) and 5.84% (Advisor Shares), compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Index”), a broad-based basket of international stocks, which rose 5.29% during the same period.

 

Market Background

 

Global equity markets (“GEMs”) delivered positive returns over the period with US markets hitting record highs. Growth in the US has shown gradual signs of improvement, and the avoidance of the ‘fiscal cliff’ at the beginning of 2013 was positive for market sentiment.  Elsewhere, Japanese market performance was boosted by the appointment of a new governor at the Bank of Japan with a mandate to beat deflation by engaging in aggressive quantitative easing. In Europe, sentiment was negatively affected by political uncertainty in Spain and Italy, as well as a banking crisis in Cyprus. However, investor concerns about these issues eased somewhat later in the period and the European Central Bank’s commitment to maintain loose monetary policy in the Eurozone was supportive. Emerging markets lagged their developed peers over the period. This is likely owing to a number of factors including underperformance in China (see below) and US dollar strength following signs of a recovery in US growth, which has traditionally weighed on emerging market returns.

 

Emerging Asia was the best performing region over the period. The Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia all outperformed versus the Index, supported by robust economic growth over the period. Furthermore, the Philippines received an investment grade rating and Thailand’s sovereign debt rating was upgraded to one notch below investment grade by Fitch Ratings. Taiwan outperformed amid a rebound in exports while the fall in oil prices over the period was positive for the Indian market. Sentiment was further supported by easing wholesale price inflation (WPI) and the central bank’s reduction of interest rates from 8% at the beginning of the period to 7.25% in early May. Malaysia performed broadly in line with the Index. Ongoing delays to elections weighed on sentiment for much of the period, but the market responded positively to the dissolution of parliament in early April and the scheduling of elections for May 5th (which were subsequently won by Prime Minister Najib Razak’s Barisan National party). China underperformed amid moves by authorities to curb real estate price growth and investor concerns about the increased level of ‘shadow banking’ finance. Economic growth slowed in China from 7.9% year on year in Q4 2012 to 7.7% in Q1 2013. On the political front, the leadership transition was completed during March, and Xi Jinping was formally appointed as president. The South Korean market underperformed. Sentiment was negatively affected by yen depreciation (Japan is one of South Korea’s main export competitors, particularly for auto makers). Investor confidence also suffered as tensions on the Korean peninsula increased with North Korea declaring a ‘state of war’ with South Korea.

 

Emerging Latin America performed broadly in line with the Index. The Mexican equity market was the only market to outperform. President Pena Nieto’s implementation of a variety of reform measures boosted market sentiment and the recent improvement in inflation figures allowed the central bank to cut interest rates for the first time in almost four years by 50 bps to an all-time low of 4%. Brazil performed broadly in line with its emerging market peers. Falling commodity prices, persistently high inflation and policy uncertainty, amid widespread government intervention, weighed on the market. However, the interest rate cut in April (from 7.5% to 7.25%) was supportive as was strength in the Real over the period. Chile and Colombia underperformed. Colombia was negatively affected by poor performance from the energy sector where Index heavyweight Ecopetrol suffered on falling oil prices and disappointing profit results. In Peru, weaker metals prices weighed on the market.

 

Emerging EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) underperformed broader emerging markets. The only market to outperform was Turkey, which was supported by a moderation in the size of the current account deficit, abundant global liquidity and two upgrades to its sovereign debt rating; one from Fitch Ratings in November 2012 to investment grade and one from Standard & Poor’s in March 2013 from BB to BB+. The Polish market suffered as growth continued to slow despite a reduction in interest rates from 4.75% to 3.25% (rates were subsequently further reduced to 3% in early May). Russia underperformed amid falling energy prices and continued high inflation while South Africa underperformed as Fitch Ratings downgraded its rating on the country’s sovereign debt in January following similar moves by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s in September and October 2012 respectively. The rand also weakened over the period, driven lower by concerns about industrial action in the mining and agriculture sectors. Hungary and the Czech Republic performed poorly amid weak economic growth. Furthermore, poor economic policy decision-making and the downgrade of Hungary’s sovereign debt rating by Standard & Poor’s in November 2012 weighed on sentiment. The Egyptian market lagged its emerging market peers significantly. Market confidence suffered on widespread political unrest, renewed political uncertainty following the opposition party’s threat to boycott parliamentary elections and continued delays to a conclusion of an IMF loan agreement. The country also suffered as all three major ratings agencies downgraded Egypt’s sovereign credit rating.

 

Portfolio Review

 

The Fund outperformed the Index over the six months ended April 30, 2013. Both country allocation and stock selection added to returns. The overweights to Thailand and Turkey, both of which outperformed, added value as did the underweight position in South

Africa, which underperformed. This was somewhat offset by the underweight in Taiwan which outperformed. Stock selection was positive in China (overweight China Resources Power Holdings, AAC Technologies Holdings and AIA Holdings Group), Russia (overweight Magnit and Mobile Telesystems, underweight Gazprom) and India (positive ADR versus local line premium/discount timing effects as well as overweight ICICI Bank, Lupin and Tata Motors). Stock selection was negative in Taiwan (overweight Hon Hai Precision Instruments).

 

Outlook

 

Global markets have continued to move higher recently, led by the US and Japan. However, evidence is building of a moderation in the economic recovery over the short-term, reflecting the impact of tighter fiscal policy and ongoing deleveraging in the developed world. Year-to-date, GEMs have lagged their more developed peers with investors choosing to focus on signs of an improvement in growth prospects in the developed world, albeit from anemic levels.

 

Despite recent soft data releases in the US, the dollar has continued to strengthen, likely reflecting a combination of loose monetary policy and weaker growth around the developed world. US unemployment has been falling, although this has been aided by a falling participation rate, leading commentators to question the longevity of quantitative easing. Schroders’ economics team estimate, policy stimulus will begin to slow at the beginning of 2014, but tighter policy, including interest rate increases, remain some way off. Eurozone growth continues to be particularly weak with disappointing purchasing manager’s indices (PMI) and industrial production data releases recently. The European Central Bank (ECB) cut interest rates to a record low of 0.5% in a further attempt to spur growth but the impact is anticipated to be limited. Despite little signs of progress on structural reforms and the existence of several tail risks including a potential bail-out of Slovenia, a fragile political situation in Greece and deteriorating political environment in France, there are some signs of stabilization in the Eurozone. A new government has been formed in Italy, and Portugal successfully issued 10-year debt yielding 5.65%, only marginally higher than the existing debt yield. In Japan, the new central bank governor announced significant monetary policy easing measures and the yen depreciated further against the US dollar. Schroders’ economics team forecasts global, US, Eurozone and Japanese GDP growth over 2013 to be 2.4%, 2.1%, -0.6% and 1.0% respectively. However, they expect growth to improve in 2014.

 

We believe the structural and fundamental case for GEMs remains intact, and at a 10.1X prospective price-to-earnings ratio (PER) with forecast earnings growth of around 14%, the Index is cheaper than the MSCI World Index and enjoy superior growth. Muted inflationary pressure is allowing many GEMs policymakers to refocus on supporting growth which should also be positive for earnings. However, GEMs have underperformed the developed world year-to-date and may continue to struggle over the short-term while investors remain focused on signs of improvement in the developed world and while GEMs earnings growth continues to disappoint in comparison to record high levels of profitability in the US. There has been little change to our current strategy, and we remain with a beta of around 1. That said, we are carefully monitoring whether global markets are heading towards a turning point. Consensus growth forecasts are for global growth to improve to 3.1% in 2014 and, coupled with likely still expansive monetary policy around the world, markets could begin to rotate away from what we believe to be an expensive-looking US market to GEMs.

Schroder International Alpha Fund

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of June 9, 2013)

 

Performance

 

In the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Schroder International Alpha Fund (the “Fund”) gained 12.92% (Investor Shares) and 12.76% (Advisor Shares), compared to the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Index”), a broad-based basket of international stocks, which rose 16.90%.

 

Market Background

 

Global equity markets rose over the six-month period, although risk aversion often resurfaced as global growth concerns persisted. The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and concerns about lackluster global growth affected sentiment; however, an agreement on the creation of a European banking union was supportive towards the end of 2012.  Markets enjoyed a strong start to the 1st Quarter of 2013 as investors’ reallocation from bonds into stocks gained traction and the aversion of the US fiscal cliff improved risk appetite. However, the Italian election and Cyprus bailout triggered a renewed bout of risk aversion and, although markets have continued to rise, defensive sectors have been the main beneficiaries. Weaker macro indicators in April saw investors continue to favor defensive and high yield stocks. China data were mixed, but the broad trend continues to show improvement. Japanese markets rallied, thanks to aggressive policy from the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”), yen weakness and the election outcome.

 

Within the benchmark, the strongest sectors were consumer discretionary, financials and healthcare, while energy, materials and utilities lagged. Regionally, Japan was strongest in the benchmark, while Africa/Middle East and the UK detracted.

 

Portfolio Review

 

An early phase of out-performance was quickly reversed, setting a theme for the rest of the reporting period.  In the aggregate though, performance held up reasonably well to February, with a positive contribution from the Fund’s more economically sensitive names, which started to gain traction and garner broader market support.  Performance was, however, significantly set back in March and April, as a sharp rotation away from cyclical risk adversely affected many of these same names (which has again been reversed through May, at the time of this writing). Together, performance in March and April dominated the relative returns over the period of review, accounting for 57% of the underperformance in the period ended April 30, 2013. Despite a generally improving macro environment, markets have been driven higher by ultra-defensive stocks which continue to trade, by general consensus, at extreme valuations. This is an environment where fundamentals and forward growth expectations are largely irrelevant and one in which our style will inevitably struggle over shorter periods. This environment is, however, unusual and, to our mind, unsustainable, particularly as sentiment continues to improve and risk appetite normalizes.

 

Within the Fund’s portfolio, telecoms was the largest contributor from a sector perspective, helped by strong stock selection. A poorly received spectrum auction by the Indian government was deemed positive for Idea Cellular and others in the Indian telecom space at the end of 2012. Positive momentum continued into 2013, and the stock was further buoyed by excellent fourth quarter results showing impressive volume growth, strong margins and healthy data revenues. The Fund’s underweight to utilities and stock selection in healthcare also contributed to performance. In healthcare, Roche Holdings gained approvals for a number of drugs including rheumatoid arthritis treatment Actemra and breast cancer drug Perjeta. Q1 2013 results were strong on high US demand for Roche’s Tamiflu and solid sales in cancer medicines.

 

Materials and consumer discretionary weighed on performance. In the former, Newcrest Mining has suffered from a number of production setbacks caused by weather disruption, iron ore grade degradation which has increased production costs across the industry, and equipment issues. More recently gold producers have been hurt by the large drop in gold prices. We believe that the market reaction was overly negative and the stock is very attractively valued and has good upside in the longer term.  In consumer discretionary, Hyundai Motor’s share price has come under pressure, along with other Korean exporters, due to the market perception of the impact of the falling Japanese yen. This is despite its local manufacturing bases, attractive models and exposure to the fast growing markets in Asia.

 

From a regional perspective, strong stock selection in Continental Europe was the most significant source of added value. The Fund’s focus on companies in core Europe with very strong global footprints continues to be beneficial. The Fund’s emerging markets exposure also contributed, helped by its holdings in Idea Cellular. Japan detracted, with the Fund’s underweight exposure combined with our performance in industrials hurting relative performance, as quantitative easing measures continued to buoy the Japanese stock market. Pacific ex Japan also detracted, hurt by materials (e.g., Newcrest Mining).

 

Outlook

 

We remain positive on global equities for 2013. Markets have flattened out in recent weeks, given softer economic indicators and renewed uncertainty in the Eurozone. Given the strong run since November, some consolidation was to be expected, and we will use market volatility to buy quality stocks at what we perceive to be attractive valuations. The global economy is fragile, but we believe the experience is behind us and the two main engines of growth, China and the US, are recovering. Japan is also improving, as “Abenomics” is increasing confidence in the country’s ability to grow again. While risks remain, global growth is slowly improving and

share buybacks and M&A activity are increasing. While investors believe that equity valuations remain cheap compared to bonds, flows are returning to equities.

 

While US manufacturing data have been mixed, we believe the outlook is good with strong competitiveness and cheap energy prices. The housing recovery continues to gain traction and consumer spending is relatively robust. However, we believe we are yet to see the full impact of sequestration and expect this to feed through in the coming weeks. We believe that the US is on the road to recovery, though mixed data points and an unsettled global backdrop mean we remain cautious in our optimism.

 

Chinese growth, though down from previously high levels, remains in recovery. With the new leadership transition complete, the country is now looking forward to further domestic rebalancing and an emphasis on consumption-driven growth. However, there are a number of headwinds of which we remain cognizant. We will be watching closely to see how the government addresses structural adjustments in the financial and property sectors. Rising military tensions in the region (North Korea and the South China Sea) should be watched carefully.

 

Political gridlock in Italy and the controversial terms of the Cyprus bailout deal mean progress in Europe has taken a step back. The election outcome in Italy has led, following a period of turmoil, to a coalition government that will focus less on austerity. This is an interesting policy change that has not seen the level of outrage from Germany that would have been inevitable in 2011 or 2012, perhaps indicating a change of tack in the European growth versus austerity policy agenda. The Cyprus bailout is manageable given that at 10 billion Euros it is a relatively small proportion of Eurozone GDP. Further, fears that a new deposit tax could be used in Spain and Italy are, in our view, misplaced. However, with the German election in September, one must be aware of the ramifications of the Cyprus incident beyond Cyprus itself and — especially given Russian involvement — into the overall EU decision making process.

 

Recent European GDP and PMI data highlight that economic conditions remain poor, including in Germany and France. How well these countries can absorb the trauma in peripheral Europe will be key going forward. In France cyclical and structural issues combined with some degree of political tension are adding to the pressures and leading to higher unemployment.  With regards to the European debt crisis overall, a lot of progress has been made and long-term structural problems are being addressed in most countries, despite recent setbacks. Furthermore, the global economy is stronger today than it was in 2011 and 2012, which we believe will support further progress. We believe the current situation is therefore unlikely to deteriorate as it did in 2011 and 2012.

 

Sentiment regarding Japan has started to improve since the government under Prime Minister Abe came to power on a mandate of radical central bank action aimed at ending the country’s crippling deflation. In January the BoJ doubled its inflation target to 2% and the BoJ’s new governor has already announced aggressive easing measures which have had a noticeable impact on the yen/dollar rate. The extension of duration for Japanese Government Bond purchases and the adoption of a two-year time horizon to achieve the inflation target suggest a fairly radical change of direction. We are watching closely to see if this translates into improvements of substance. However, the challenges facing Japan are large, and while we believe there are some good opportunities to be found in the country, we remain selective given the country’s demographic headwinds and growth potential and will focus on companies with what we perceive to be strong or increasing competitive advantage.

 

With this backdrop in mind, we believe the Fund’s portfolio is well structured with growth defensives and cyclically-oriented holdings. The Fund’s trading activity will continue to focus on stock-specific situations with sustainable growth, valuation upside and catalysts ahead.

Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of June 9, 2013)

 

Performance

 

In the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) gained 13.41% (Investor Shares) and 13.25% (Advisor Shares) compared to the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Index”), a broad-based basket of international stocks, which rose 16.90% during this same period.

 

Market Background

 

The end of 2012 saw a strong recovery from Continental Europe, despite ongoing doubts over Greece and worries about lack of growth. Emerging Markets enjoyed very good performance in December. Equities started 2013 on firmer footing as the last minute agreement on the US fiscal cliff fed growing optimism regarding the global economy.

 

However, Continental Europe saw a shift at the start of 2013 with confidence hit by a combination of disappointing data from Spain, political gridlock in Italy and rising German unemployment. The crisis in Cyprus took its toll on sentiment amid worries over the potential implosion of the Cypriot banking sector and uncertainty over plans to resolve the situation. Data released in February showed that the Eurozone’s GDP contracted by 0.6% in the fourth quarter of 2012, representing the sharpest fall since 2009 for the region.

 

UK equities made a strong start to 2013, but Eurozone worries dampened enthusiasm and market performance. There was some support for equities from dovish comments from the Bank of England, indicating that further quantitative easing may be forthcoming. Ratings agency Moody’s downgraded the UK’s sovereign debt rating by one notch to Aa1 from Aaa.

 

Japan saw very strong performance in early 2013, with sentiment buoyed by yen weakness. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) doubled its inflation target to 2%. In March, Haruhiko Kuroda was confirmed as new BoJ governor, and markets were supported by expectations that he would push for measures to boost growth.

 

Asia ex Japan saw muted performance amid some profit-taking in Chinese equities in February and March. New measures introduced by the government to curb soaring property prices also dented sentiment. South Korea was down with exporters hit by global growth concerns and the strengthening won.

 

As the period wore on, emerging market equities underperformed developed market peers. Falling energy prices in February and March weighed on Russia, while Egypt suffered sovereign ratings downgrades from both Moody’s and Fitch.

 

Portfolio Review

 

Both the Fund and the Index delivered absolute positive returns for the period although the Fund’s performance lagged the Index. This was primarily due to weaker stock selection in Japan, while Pacific ex Japan was also a drag on the Fund’s performance, again due to stock selection. Exposure to emerging markets also resulted in declines. By contrast, the UK was a positive contributor, helped by the Fund’s relative underweight allocation as well as better stock selection.

 

On a sector view, the materials sector was the main detractor due to weaker stock selection. The Fund’s underweight to the expensive consumer staples sector, particularly food and drink companies, was a key detractor. Financials was another area that proved a drag on returns, due both to the Fund’s underweight allocation and to stock selection. The Fund’s relative overweight allocation to energy stocks also weighed on performance although better stock selection here helped pare losses. The utilities sector was the main contributor to returns, with stock selection adding value.

 

Outlook

 

Within defensives, the Fund is underweight healthcare, both pharmaceuticals and health care providers. The Fund has very little exposure to the low beta / consumer staples bubble. We have increased exposure to some utilities stocks which have underperformed and we believe are now looking attractive. Within telecoms we favor Emerging Markets stocks.

 

The fund is overweight resources (both energy and materials) which are currently very unfashionable — this has produced what we feel are some attractive investment opportunities. Resources also account for a reasonable weight within our Emerging Markets exposure. The Fund is underweight financials across all regions and has a preference for asset managers and insurers over banks.

 

We have been buying into selected consumer discretionary and industrials stocks and the Fund’s exposure to cyclical sectors has increased over the quarter.

 

Regionally, the Fund remains significantly underweight Europe including the UK in order to fund allocations to Canada and Emerging Markets where we favor telecoms, technology and resources.  We remain more wary of Emerging Market financials. The Fund continues to have a risk-adjusted overweight position in Japanese small/mid cap value stocks although we have taken some profits here.

Schroder Global Multi-Cap Equity Fund (formerly Schroder Global Quality Fund)

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of June 9, 2013)

 

Performance

 

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, Schroder Global Multi-Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund,” formerly, Schroder Global Quality Fund) returned 12.64% for both its Institutional Shares and its Institutional Service Shares compared to the MSCI World Index (the “Index”), a broad-based basket of global stocks, which returned 14.67% during this same period.

 

Market Background

 

US equities started the period slowly amid worries over the fiscal cliff, but gained strength after a last-minute deal was reached and began 2013 on a firmer footing. Some better macroeconomic data regarding jobs, housing and manufacturing also helped lift sentiment towards the US market.

 

The Eurozone saw a turbulent period politically with Italy’s election resulting in deadlock and destabilising indecision regarding the response to the crisis in Cyprus. In addition, GDP data revealed a 0.6% contraction in euro area GDP for the fourth quarter of 2012, and the European Central Bank (ECB) lowered its 2013 GDP growth forecast for the single currency bloc.

 

UK equities made good progress over the period, though performance was slightly dented in February/March by concerns over the outlook for the Eurozone. Comments from the Bank of England and its incoming governor indicated that monetary policy is set to remain loose with the possibility of further quantitative easing on the way.

 

The Japanese equity market had a stellar start to 2013, with yen weakness helping drive outperformance among cyclical exporters. Sentiment was further lifted by news of new appointments at the Bank of Japan, including the naming of Haruhiko Kuroda as the next governor.

 

Asia ex Japan saw a mixed period with Chinese shares surging in December and January but succumbing to profit-taking in February and March as sentiment was dampened by the government’s introduction of new measures to curb property prices. Another factor was the decline in the official Chinese Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) which fell to 50.1 in February.

 

Emerging Markets began the period solidly but came under pressure as 2013 began. The weakness in Emerging Markets is becoming more widespread, extending now to Asian and European markets.

 

Portfolio Review

 

The Fund and Index delivered gains over the period, but the Fund’s returns were below the Index. Weaker stock selection in Japan was the primary driver of this underperformance, due to not owning some cyclical exporters - notably auto stocks - which have rallied strongly on yen weakness. The Fund’s relative overweight allocation to Emerging Markets Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) also weighed on returns. On the contributor side, strong stock selection in the US helped pare losses elsewhere, while stock selection in the UK also made a positive contribution to returns.

 

By sector, good stock selection among information technology helped offset losses elsewhere, while holdings in utilities also made a positive contribution. Exposure to unfashionable resources stocks in materials and energy detracted from performance, as did stock selection in consumer staples.

 

Outlook

 

Within defensives, the Fund’s largest sector overweight continues to be healthcare, especially equipment companies. The Fund’s exposure to telecoms is mainly comprised of Emerging Markets stocks while we are underweight US telecoms.

 

Within resources, the Fund is biased towards fertiliser and energy equipment stocks and underweight steel and chemical stocks. Within technology, the Fund is overweight semis and information technology services. The Fund remains underweight autos within consumer discretionary and is increasing its exposure to quality industrials.

 

Within financials, we retain a preference for UK and US financials, remaining underweight Continental European and Pacific financials. The Fund remains underweight both banks and real estate stocks, preferring insurers and asset managers.

 

The Fund’s regional allocations remain broadly unchanged: the strategy is underweight Continental Europe in order to fund positions in Emerging Markets, predominantly in Asia. We believe the UK also looks attractive, offering high quality companies at what appear to be reasonable valuations.

Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of June 9, 2013)

 

Performance

 

During the six-month period ending April 30, 2013, the Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.88% (Investor Shares) and 1.75% (Advisor Shares), compared to the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”), a broad-based basket of US debt securities, which rose 0.90%.

 

Market Background

 

The bond market registered a positive return over the six-month reporting period, overcoming periods of volatility and political uncertainty.  Economic data improved marginally as consumer confidence and spending were supported by marginally better job creation, pushing the unemployment rate down to 7.5% and Q1 GDP growth to 2.5%.

 

The government’s recent fiscal austerity programs are weighing on the recovery.  On January 1, 2013, President Obama and the Republicans in Congress agreed to let a payroll tax cut expire and tax rates rise on the rich.  Also, the two parties failed to come to agreement on a bargain to avoid the sequester, which will result in $85 billion of spending cuts over the remainder of the fiscal year.  Most entitlements, such as pensions and health-care, are excluded, which makes the reduction in other areas more severe: 13% in defense spending and a 9% cut to other domestic discretionary programs.

 

European headline risk represented another potential headwind to the recovery.  An anti-austerity party scored a startlingly large share of the vote in Italy’s general election. The political uncertainty intensified the already weak economic conditions. In March, Cyprus’s initial plan to tax both uninsured and insured bank deposits was a shock to the market.  A 10 billion Euro bailout package was finally reached, but hasty implementation is effectively rewriting bankruptcy legislation and reducing bondholders’ rights and protections.  The bail-in of depositors (albeit uninsured deposits) sets a precedent that senior bank creditors may now incur losses.  For all practical purposes, this marks the end of central bank (taxpayer) funded bailouts and much higher issuer (bondholder) risks.

 

The combination of tighter fiscal policy in the US and the re-emergence of financial/growth risks in the EU reinforced the resolve of the Federal Reserve to maintain easy monetary policy. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke offered strong new assurances he wouldn’t back away from his easy-money policies, despite worries that its programs could destabilize the financial system.  At the same time, Bernanke sought to reassure the public that the Fed is better prepared to find and address financial instability than it was before the 2008 crisis.

 

Treasury yields declined marginally over the reporting period, with 10-year Treasuries falling 2 bps to 1.67%.  Yields moved higher in the first quarter of 2013 as the improving economic picture led to a shift in demand towards riskier assets.  However, yields came back down in April as economic data worsened and the Fed reaffirmed the continuation of its asset purchase program until there is substantial improvement in the labor market.

 

The Index returned 0.90% over the period, while Treasuries returned 0.79%. Returns on investment grade corporate bonds were higher than government bonds as investors were compensated for taking on more credit risk in the market.  Within corporates, financials were the best performing sector over the period, producing an excess return of 1.97%. Utilities and industrials performed worse, posting excess returns of 0.44% and -0.33%, respectively.

 

The securitized sector posted an excess return of -0.33%.  Specifically, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) excess returns were -0.41% and the smaller commercial MBS (“CMBS”) sector performed much better, recording a 1.00% return above Treasuries.  Asset-backed securities outperformed Treasuries, with auto and credit card receivable securities providing added income versus cash alternatives.

 

Portfolio Review

 

The Fund outperformed the benchmark during the six-month period ending April 30, 2013, primarily due to its investment strategy in the securitized sector and security selection within corporates.

 

Sector exposure remained deeply underweight US government securities throughout the period, which added to performance.  The Fund’s overweight to residential MBS throughout the period added to performance even though the allocation to Government National Mortgage Association 3% coupon MBS detracted early in the year when the Fed spurred fear of an earlier than expected end to quantitative easing (3% is the favorite Fed buying target).  The Fund’s overweight position in Agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and CMBS also were both consistent contributors to performance throughout the period.

 

Notable within the credit sector was a continuation of spread compression between higher and lower yielding sectors, seen most clearly in the spread between financials and industrials. We increased the Fund’s allocation to corporates, selectively adding to both investment grade and high yield issuers. At the same time, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to companies with rising risk of re-leveraging their balance sheets.  We are on high alert for leveraged buyout (LBO) risk and the Fund’s portfolio did not have exposure to Dell or other significant underperformers.    We also added several more Emerging Markets credits as we gradually rotate into more exposure to companies with businesses outside of developed markets.

 

19



 

The Fund’s bias towards lower rated securities, specifically mid-rated triple-B and double-B, also added to performance.  We continue to like the combination of yield and balance sheet strengthening activity in these ratings categories.

 

The Fund’s longer than benchmark duration and higher yield added modestly to performance.

 

Outlook

 

We expect economic headwinds from sequestration-related fiscal reductions to take effect in the coming months.  These are well anticipated and the impact should be moderate, especially as many of the cuts take the form of decreases to planned spending and hiring rather than widespread layoffs. Growth in Europe has also fallen off sharply and credit creation across much of the region has been contracting.  The severe losses taken by senior lenders (depositors) to Cypriot banks, following on the full losses of Dutch SNS Bank subordinated bond holders in February, marks a significant change in the response metric of the ECB and IMF.  Taxpayer funded bail-outs are effectively over and bondholder/depositor bail-ins should be expected for bank crisis resolution.  This means wider risk premiums for senior bank debt in part of the EU, but reduces pressure on sovereign rates and also limits the risk of contagion outside of Europe — hence a slightly positive influence for US financial issuers.  It does, however, reinforce the weak European growth environment.

 

With positive but slow growth being confirmed in the US and budget/fiscal decisions deferred for now, we expect asset performance will be heavily determined by monetary policy changes.  The Fed has made it clear that the exit strategy for ending Treasury and MBS purchases (Quantitative Easing, or “QE”) will be one of tapering off instead of an abrupt halt and will occur once economic improvement is significant and sustained.  We expect that we are still at least several quarters away from slowing QE, judging by the weak details underlying the unemployment rate and the cumulative fiscal tightening still hitting the economy.  This should provide continued support for bond investors.

 

In addition to Fed-provided liquidity, we expect the Bank of Japan’s (“BoJ”) April announcement of a massive stimulus program that entails increasing central bank purchases to the equivalent of $75 billion/month and extending maturity of the BoJ’s existing holdings will encourages asset flows out of Japan and into long duration assets, which we expect will benefit the US bond market.

 

Portfolio construction in this low growth environment continues to emphasize a neutral to slightly long duration stance and high allocations to non-government sectors with limited exposure to economic surprises.  The Fed’s liquidity program appears to be working, encouraging investors to move out of cash, though allocations during Q1 seem to have leap-frogged investment grade sectors in favor of equities and the riskier end of the bond market — high yield and leveraged loans. As we expected, there has been very little evidence of a broader rotation out of fixed income to stocks, and the recent data further erodes the case for selling fixed income.

 

We continue to like corporate bonds relative to Treasuries, believing that the best returns and level of credit quality improvement are behind us, and so expect industry and issue selection to rise in importance.  At this time the Fund’s exposure to high yield securities is relatively limited and focused heavily on issuer selection. The same is true for Emerging Market issuers. MBS remains a large overweight given the relatively large risk premium available for interest rate risk.

Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of June 9, 2013)

 

Performance

 

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund (the “Fund”) gained 4.30% (Investor Shares) and 4.07% (Advisor Shares), compared to the LIBOR 3-Month USD Fixed Index (the “Index”), a widely used measure of short term corporate returns, which rose 0.15%.

 

Market Background

 

The end of the reporting period brought further evidence that the conditions for continued recovery in the US economy are in place, that the Eurozone debt crisis has been contained and that key Emerging Market (EM) policymakers such as those of China and India have shown renewed commitment to reforms.  These positive dynamics were still met with scepticism from market participants.

 

Portfolio Review

 

After a period of disappointing returns during the first half of 2012, the Fund’s performance has improved markedly during the course of the reporting period under review. These renewed gains are predominantly due to:

 

(i)

 

the rally in the restructured Greek bonds held by the Fund;

 

 

 

(ii)

 

other selected bond market positions taken in Hungary, Vietnam, South Africa and in a number of Asian Corporate Convertible bonds;

 

 

 

(iii)

 

most of the Fund’s currency positions. These have either remained firmly in their appreciation trend (in Asia) or are recovering from the weakness experienced during the first half of 2012 (in Europe).

 

Therefore, portfolio activity during the reporting period has focused on averaging up the profitable positions highlighted above.

 

Recent developments have corroborated the Fund’s investment strategy. Amongst these developments, there was the Greek debt buyback, which has been a resounding success that led to a further decline in the stock of debt owed to the private sector. This buyback was used as an opportunity by the investment team to tender a portion of the Fund’s Greek bond holdings as part of a strategy to take some of the hefty profits made on this exposure.

 

Another encouraging development has been the continued recovery in European currencies, despite the renewed political tensions in Italy. Hungarian long-dated local bonds (approximately 5% of NAV) have also rallied further, providing more evidence that Hungary is following the predominating regional trajectory towards fiscal sustainability. Promising policies have equally been adopted by the Russian Central Bank, which has increased one of its policy rates, thus showing that it is amongst the rare monetary authorities that are still paying some attention to inflationary risks. This has improved even more the prospects for further recovery of the ruble from what we perceive to be its recent oversold levels.

 

Finally, Asian currencies have remained broadly in their long-term appreciation trend as evidenced by the Korean won, which has appreciated in December 2012 to a new high for the period.

 

The Fund performed well during the month of April.  The main contributors to these gains are:

 

i.

 

Greek bonds, which have resumed their rally after the sideways consolidation experienced during the first quarter of 2013 (below we provide a brief update on the latest developments in Greece);

 

 

 

ii.

 

A number of currencies such as the Mexican peso, the Polish zloty and the Indian rupee. These currencies have regained ground against the US dollar;

 

 

 

iii.

 

A basket of convertible bonds, which have broadly continued to rally, supported by favourable domestic liquidity conditions in most EM countries and by attractive stock market valuations.

 

The Fund’s investment strategy remained unchanged during the period under review.  Bond and credit markets were generally approached with caution as they remain over-owned and continue to exhibit poor valuations, as evidenced by the ultra-low yield of the Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus (4.6% yield with a duration of 8 years).  However, there are some few exceptions which remain attractively valued.  These are the government bonds of Greece and Vietnam, inflation linkers in Thailand and a wide range of convertible bonds.  All these markets remain a core holding in the Fund.

 

Currencies have also been a major focus for the Fund, as exposure was increased to this sector by more than 10% during the month of April.  These currency positions were added either because we have averaged-up profitable exposures (e.g., the Mexican peso and the Chinese renminbi) or because we have reinstated some of the positions which were previously closed as a precautionary risk reduction measure.  The reason why we have reinstated these currencies (e.g., the Taiwanese dollar, the Russian ruble and the Hungarian forint) is because there are some improvements in our technical and sentiment indicators, which suggest that the recent correction may have run its course.

 

22



 

The Chinese renminbi has become, at the time of writing this, the largest currency exposure held by the Fund.  This currency remains attractive because we believe that it has limited downside risk, that it will benefit from the reformist bias of the new Chinese leadership and that it resides strongly in its long-term revaluation trend.  Indeed, the renminbi 12-month non-deliverable forward (NDF) rate has recently rallied to its strongest level since the global credit crisis of 2007-08.

 

This continued gradual appreciation of the Chinese currency corroborates our recently adopted view that the policy bias has clearly tilted towards reforms.  More liberalization in China may be painful in the short-term for domestic economic activity (as the credit and investment excesses of recent years are corrected) but we believe this is supportive in the long-term for more rebalanced and sustainable economic activity.  We will probably hear more negative growth headlines stories from China in the short term, but we expect financial assets to be well supported by the encouraging policy direction.

 

Progress in reforms has been even more noticeable in Greece, allowing the Fund to benefit handsomely from its exposure to the restructured Greek government bonds.

 

Outlook

 

Our analysis concluded that we are unlikely to see a reversal in the improving trends which have been in place since mid-2012. These positive dynamics can be summarized as follows:

 

(i)

 

Asset reflation has continued, with global stock markets recently becoming the main beneficiary of this phenomenon. We believe that we have probably reached a stage in the global liquidity cycle when it will next be the turn of commodity markets (particularly oil) to perform strongly;

 

 

 

(ii)

 

Credit growth in the US remains supportive as evidenced by the continued strength in commercial and industrial loans. Many EM countries are actually experiencing an acceleration in monetary aggregates, which we expect will herald a much stronger economic activity than what is widely anticipated by market participants;

 

 

 

(iii)

 

Credit conditions are less favourable in Europe but the healing process in this region is still firmly in place, which is corroborated by the recent resilience of European peripheral bond markets in the face of negative news headlines;

 

 

 

(iv)

 

Our Quantitative Analysis continues to highlight that the major global macro-economic imbalances that have prevailed in recent years have been — to a large extent — corrected. Consequently, we believe the risk of a major balance of payments or a banking system blow-up has been greatly reduced.

 

Despite these reassuring developments, extraordinary monetary policies have been maintained globally or escalated further despite already excessive liquidity. We believe the risk to global financial stability has thus become predominantly related to the monetary policy mistakes that are now being made. In this regard, we believe that the on-going monetary experiments have been conducted for far too long and that inflationary pressures (particularly in EM) could surface quickly.

 

Therefore, we believe generally over-valued and over-owned bond markets could sooner rather than later become the biggest casualty of this monetary policy, especially as policymakers themselves appear to have recognised the dangers of the on-going speculative behaviour in credit markets.  The Fund will seek to maintain an overall low portfolio duration exposure. It should be noted that a number of long-dated EM US Dollar bonds have already performed poorly so far this calendar year, and we believe there is a high risk that this incipient trend could accelerate. In contrast, selected convertible and inflation-linked bonds should benefit from what we believe will be a slow policy reaction to a possible resurgence in inflation; exposure to these sectors will likely be increased further this quarter.

 

In currency markets, developments in policy have equally started to lead to a marked divergence in performance. For example, countries with poor or deteriorating policy frameworks (e.g., South Africa, Hungary and Indonesia) have seen their currencies come under pressure. Others where policy has broadly preserved long-term growth drivers (e.g., Philippines, Thailand and Mexico) have experienced strong currency performance. We believe that this “differentiation” trend will remain a dominant theme in 2013. Therefore, the Fund’s currency investments will be very selective.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds, which are in conformity with U.S. GAAP:

 

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS: Each Fund calculates the net asset value of its classes of shares by dividing the total value of its assets attributable to that class, less its liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. Each Fund values its shares as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) each day the Exchange is open. Portfolio securities listed on recognized stock exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the securities are principally traded, except that NASDAQ official closing prices for all NASDAQ National Market and NASDAQ Small Cap Market Securities are used, where applicable. Listed securities traded on recognized stock exchanges where last sale prices are not available are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices quoted on a principal exchange for the security or from a recognized pricing service (“mid-market price”). Securities not traded on any securities exchange and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally shall be valued at the most recently reported mid-market price.  Options, including options on indices, traded on a securities exchange or board of trade generally are valued at the last reported sales price. Investments in registered investment companies are priced at each Fund’s daily net asset value. Debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents.  Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded.  The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market values for such securities.  Such methodologies generally consider such factors as comparable security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities in arriving at valuations.  On the first day a new debt security purchase is recorded, if a price is not available on the automated pricing feeds from the primary and secondary pricing vendors of SST, SGST, or SCFD (the “Trusts”) nor is it available from an independent broker, the security may be valued at its purchase price.  Each day thereafter, the debt security will be valued according to the Trusts’ fair value procedures until an independent source can be secured.  Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less will normally be valued at their amortized cost, which generally approximates market value. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”). The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Pricing Committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Funds’ Trustees. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate

 

104



 

Schroder Mutual Funds

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

April 30, 2013 (unaudited)

 

that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; or the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

 

For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security’s last trade and the time at which a Fund calculates its net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market values at the time the Fund calculates its net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last trade and the time that the Fund calculates its net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If a Fund becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates its net asset value, a Committee meeting may be called.

 

Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund, Schroder International Alpha Fund, Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund and Schroder Global Multi-Cap Equity Fund use a third-party fair valuation vendor, which provides a fair value for securities of companies located in countries outside the Western Hemisphere held by the Funds based on certain factors and methodologies applied by the vendor in the event that there is movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold established by the Committee in consultation with the Trustees. Such methodologies generally involve tracking valuation correlations between the U.S. market and each non-U.S. security. The Committee also determines a “confidence interval” that will be used, when the threshold is exceeded, to determine the level of correlation between the value of a foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security will be fair valued. In the event that the threshold established by the Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Funds will typically value such securities in their portfolios that exceed the applicable confidence interval based upon the fair values provided by the vendor. A security whose value is adjusted in this manner will be classified as a Level 2 security in the fair value hierarchy.

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and requires disclosure surrounding the various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

·                     Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

·                     Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

·                     Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

For the purpose of this Fair Value Measurement summary, instruments that have been fair valued by a third-party vendor as discussed above for Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund, Schroder International Alpha Fund, Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund and Schroder Global Multi-Cap Equity Fund, are considered Level 2 instruments.  The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For the six months ended April 30, 2013, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies. Fair value measurement classifications are summarized in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the intention of the Funds for each Fund to qualify, or continue to qualify, as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying, the Funds would not be subject to Federal income taxes to the extent that, among other things, they distribute substantially all of their taxable income, including realized capital gains, for the fiscal year. In addition, as a result of distributing substantially all of their net investment income during each calendar year, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Funds would not be subject to a Federal excise tax. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely than-not” (i.e., greater than 50%) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold

 

105



 

Schroder Mutual Funds

are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

As of, and during the period ended April 30, 2013, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any tax-related interest or penalties.

 

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS: Investment security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost. Capital gain taxes on securities in certain foreign countries are accrued on unrealized appreciation and are due when realized.

 

INVESTMENT INCOME: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend income is recorded net of unrecoverable withholding tax. Interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are accreted and amortized using the effective interest method. Foreign dividend and interest income amounts and realized capital gains or losses are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates in effect at the date of the transactions. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of costs of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered non-taxable distributions or capital gain distributions.

 

EXPENSES: Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Many of the expenses of the Funds can be directly attributable to a specific Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a specific Fund are allocated among the Funds based on relative average net assets or another appropriate methodology. Class specific expenses are borne by that class. Fund expenses are pro-rated to the respective classes based on relative net assets.

 

CLASSES OF SHARES: Income, realized and unrealized gains and losses of a Fund are prorated to the respective classes of shares based on relative net assets.

 

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually for each of the Funds, except Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund declares dividends to shareholders from net investment income and distributes these dividends quarterly and Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund declares dividends to shareholders from net investment income daily and distributes these dividends monthly.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY: Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as follows: (i) assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange at the end of the respective period; and (ii) purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of such transactions. The portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates and the portion due to fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities are not isolated. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to protect the U.S. dollar value of the underlying portfolio of securities against the effect of possible adverse movements in foreign exchange rates. Certain Funds may also seek to gain currency exposure or otherwise attempt to increase a Fund’s total return by holding such forward foreign currency contracts. Principal risks associated with such transactions include the movement in value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform. Fluctuations in the value of such forward foreign currency transactions are recorded daily as unrealized gain or loss; realized gain or loss includes net gain or loss on transactions that have terminated by settlement or by the Funds entering into offsetting commitments.

 

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES: Certain Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis during the period covered by this report. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase a security for a predetermined price or yield, with payments and delivery taking place more than seven days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement period for that type of security. These transactions may increase the overall investment exposure for a Fund and involve a risk of loss if the value of the securities declines prior to the settlement date.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES:  Certain Funds may invest in securities that are convertible into preferred and common stocks, and so subject to the risks of investments in both debt and equity securities. The market value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, tends to increase as interest rates decline. In addition, because of the conversion feature, the market value of convertible securities tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying preferred and common stocks and, therefore, also will react to variations in the general market for equity securities.

 

FUTURES: Financial futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices; changes in initial settlement value (represented by cash paid to or received from brokers as “variation margin”) are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When futures contracts are closed, the difference between the opening value at the date of purchase and the value at closing is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations.

 

Futures contracts are generally utilized in order to hedge against unfavorable changes in the value of securities or otherwise to attempt to increase a Fund’s total return. Futures contracts involve leverage and are subject to market risk that may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible significant movements in prices. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds to the value of the securities or other index or amount underlying the contracts, but may not precisely correlate with the change in value of such securities or other index or amount. In addition, there is the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

 

OPTION TRANSACTIONS: Certain Funds may purchase and write call and put options on securities and securities indices, provided such options are traded on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market. The Funds may also purchase and sell call and put options on foreign currencies. When any of the Funds writes or purchases a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in that Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the underlying securities are subsequently sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or index underlying the written option. When any of the Funds purchases a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included in that Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities as an investment, and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a Fund exercises a call, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a Fund exercises a put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. The option techniques utilized are generally to hedge against changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or securities prices in order to establish more definitely the effective return on securities or currencies held or intended to be acquired by a Fund, to reduce the volatility of the currency exposure associated with an investment in non-U.S. securities, or as an efficient means of adjusting exposure to the bond, equity and currency markets. As of April 30, 2013, none of the Funds held option contracts.

 

MORTGAGE DOLLAR ROLLS: Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund enters into mortgage dollar rolls (principally using TBAs) in which the Fund sells mortgage securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar securities in a subsequent month at an agreed-upon price on a fixed date. The Fund accounts for such dollar rolls under the purchases and sales method and may receive compensation as consideration for entering into the commitment to repurchase. Mortgage dollar rolls have the effect of creating investment leverage. The market value of the securities that the Fund is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon purchase price of those securities. The counterparty receives all principal and interest payments, including repayments, made in respect of a security subject to such a contract while it is the holder. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed with a new purchase and repurchase price and a cash settlement made on settlement date without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract.

NOTE 8 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

 

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. Any permanent differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for gains resulting from paydown gains and losses, distributions in excess, investments in passive foreign investment companies, reclassifications of long-term capital gain distributions on real estate investment trust securities, partnership investments, net operating losses, foreign currency transactions and utilization of equalization distribution on redemption. Distributions from short-term gains and from gains on foreign currency transactions are treated as distributions from ordinary income for tax purposes.

 

At October 31, 2012, the Funds reclassified the following permanent amounts between capital paid-in, undistributed net investment income and accumulated realized gain (loss):

 

 

 

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net
Investment Income

Each Fund may use its tax basis capital loss carryforwards listed above to offset taxable capital gains realized in subsequent years for federal income tax purposes, subject in some cases to certain limitations. If a Fund incurred net capital losses in a taxable year beginning on or before December 22, 2010, the date of enactment of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“pre-RlC Mod losses”), the Fund is permitted to carry such losses forward for eight taxable years; in the year to which they are carried forward, such losses are treated as short-term capital losses that first offset any short-term capital gains, and then offset any long-term capital gains. If a Fund incurs or has incurred net capital losses in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-RIC Mod losses”), those losses will be carried forward to one or more subsequent taxable years without expiration; any such carryforward losses will retain their character as short-term or long-term. The Fund must use any post-RlC Mod losses, which will not expire, before it uses any pre-RIC Mod losses. This increases the likelihood that pre-RlC Mod losses will expire unused at the conclusion of the eight-year carryforward period. The Funds listed below have the following pre-RIC Mod losses, which expire on the following dates, except that

NOTE 9 — PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT RISKS

 

Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund, Schroder International Alpha Fund, Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund, Schroder Global Multi-Cap Equity Fund and Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund have a relatively large portion of their assets invested in companies or issuers domiciled in particular foreign countries, including emerging markets. The Funds may be more susceptible to political, social and economic events adversely affecting those countries and such issuers.

 

Each of Schroder International Alpha Fund, Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund and Schroder Global Multi-Cap Equity Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in issuers located in any one country or group of countries. When a Fund invests in a foreign country, it is susceptible to a range of factors that could adversely affect its holdings in issuers of that country, including political and economic developments and foreign exchange-rate fluctuations. As a result of investing substantially in a single country, the value of the Fund’s assets may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a comparable fund with a lesser degree of

 

115



 

Schroder Mutual Funds

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

April 30, 2013 (unaudited)

 

geographic concentration. The Funds may invest in countries with limited or developing capital markets. Investments in these markets may involve greater risk than investments in more developed markets.

 

Under normal market conditions, Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund invests in emerging markets debt securities and will have exposure to currencies around the world, including currencies of emerging market countries. The values of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may be extremely volatile and may fluctuate in response to, among other factors, interest rate changes, intervention (or failure to intervene) by the U.S. or foreign governments, central banks, or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund; the imposition of currency controls; and political and regulatory developments in the United States or abroad. Officials in foreign countries may from time to time take actions in respect of their currencies which could adversely affect the values of a Fund’s assets denominated in those currencies or the liquidity of such investments. Foreign-currency values can decrease significantly both in the short term and over the long term in response to these and other developments. If the Fund purchases securities denominated in foreign currencies, a change in the value of any such currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s assets and potentially the Fund’s income available for distribution.

 

Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund invests a portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities, including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

NOTE 11 — LINE OF CREDIT

 

The Funds entered into a credit agreement on October 6, 2008, as amended from time to time, that enables them to participate in a $25 million committed revolving line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Any advance under the line of credit is contemplated primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, or to finance the redemption of the shares of a shareholder of the borrower. Interest is charged to the Funds based on its borrowings at the current reference rate. The Funds pay their pro rata portion of an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on the total amount of the credit facility. The Funds did not have any borrowings under the credit agreement during the six months ended April 30, 2013.

NOTE 13 — LITIGATION

 

In May 2011, “Schroders US Mutual Funds” was served with a summons and complaint in an action brought by Edward S. Weisfelner, as Litigation Trustee of the LB Litigation Trust, in the case captioned Weisfelner v. A. Holmes & H. Holmes TTEE, et al. (Adv. Pro. No. 10-5525) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.) (the “Litigation Trust Action”).  In January 2012, “Schroders US Mutual Funds” was served with a summons and complaint in an action brought by Edward S. Weisfelner, as trustee of the LB Creditors Trust, in the case captioned Weisfelner v. Fund 1 et al. (Adv. Pro. No. 10-04609) (the “Creditors Trust Action”).  Both litigations seek to recover all payments made to shareholders in the December 2007 leveraged buyout of Lyondell Chemical Company as alleged fraudulent transfers.  The Litigation Trust Action asserted intentional and constructive fraudulent transfer actions under the Bankruptcy Code, and the Creditors Trust Action asserted intentional and constructive fraudulent transfer actions under state law.  Both litigations allege that Schroders US Mutual Funds received $2,045,424 in payments in the leveraged buyout.  The Funds’ records indicate that Schroder North American Equity Fund received payment in that amount related to the buyout, and that Fund is the only Schroder U.S. mutual fund that received such a payment.  Schroder North American Equity Fund has joined in motions to dismiss that were previously filed by other defendants.  By order dated October 6, 2011, the motions to dismiss were granted with respect to the constructive fraudulent transfer claims brought under the Bankruptcy Code in the Litigation Trust Action.  The motions to dismiss remain pending with respect to the constructive fraudulent transfer claims brought under state law and the intentional fraudulent transfer claims.  The possible outcome of the actions is currently uncertain.

 

NOTE 14 — SHARE SPLIT AND SPECIAL DIVIDEND

 

Effective on September 27, 2012, the Trustees declared a ten for one share split for Schroder Global Multi-Cap Equity Fund — Institutional Class with respect to its shareholders of record on September 26, 2012. The Trustees also declared a special dividend on September 21, 2012 to shareholders of record of Schroder Global Multi-Cap Equity Fund — Institutional Class on September 20, 2012.

NOTE 15 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, a further update to the guidance “Balance Sheet — Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendments in this update require an entity to disclose information about offsetting of assets and liabilities and facilitate comparison between U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2013.  At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this update and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.

 

NOTE 16 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Funds have evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based on this evaluation, no adjustments were required to the financial statements as of April 30, 2013.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited)

 

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Schroder Mutual Fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include, among others, costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), and in the case of Advisor Shares, distribution (12b-1) fees. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

 

The table below illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways.

 

·      Actual expenses. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers, if applicable, that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the fourth column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

 

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

·      Hypothetical example for comparison purposes. This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a return of 5% before expenses during the year, and that it incurred expenses at the rate of which it in the past did incur expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results may not be used to estimate the actual ending balance of an account in the Fund over the period or expenses you actually paid. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses in this table based on a 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as redemption fees, which are described in the Prospectus. If this fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher.
