11 August 2018
Dear Shareholder,
Schroder International Selection Fund – share class designations
We are pleased to inform you that following a review of our share class offering, the board of directors of Schroder International Selection Fund has decided to enhance the naming convention that we use for all distribution share classes with effect from 11 September 2018.
This change will make it easier for you to identify the key characteristics of the distribution share classes that you are holding. The attached schedule provides the old and new names for each of Schroders’ distribution share classes that are being offered to the public in Hong Kong.
Following the change, there will be several new characters at the end of the share class name, to indicate:
– Distribution frequency (M = monthly, Q = quarterly, S = semi-annual, A = annual)
– Distribution type (F = fixed or V = variable)
– Currency carry (C)1
– Different distribution rates - the actual fixed percentage or amount will not be displayed in the name, instead a numerical suffix will differentiate the share classes (e.g. 2, 3, n)
For the avoidance of doubt, the change will not affect the existing distribution characteristics of the share classes; the change is simply to indicate those characteristics within the share class name itself. There will be no changes to ISIN codes or to the naming convention of Accumulation share classes. All other key features of the Fund will remain the same.
Any expenses incurred directly as a result of making this change will be borne by Schroder Investment Management (Europe) S.A., the Company’s management company.
1 This refers to the premium or discount that may apply to the distribution. Distributions may include a premium when the interest rate of a currency hedged share class is higher than the fund's base currency interest rate. Consequently when the interest rate of a currency hedged share class is lower than the fund's base currency interest rate, the dividend may be discounted. The level of premium or discount is determined by differences in interest rates and is not part of the fund's investment objective or investment policy.

* The name Dividend Maximiser refers to the investment objective of the fund to enhance the fund dividend by generating extra income from selling covered call options on the underlying equity portfolio and this may reduce the potential capital growth and future income of the fund. It does not suggest that the manager would aim at seeking the highest possible dividends for the fund.

Dear Shareholder,
Schroder International Selection Fund – Asian Equity Yield Schroder International Selection Fund – Asian Opportunities Schroder International Selection Fund – Asia Pacific Cities Real Estate Schroder International Selection Fund – Asian Smaller Companies Schroder International Selection Fund – Asian Total Return Schroder International Selection Fund – Global Smaller Companies Schroder International Selection Fund – Hong Kong Equity
Removal of restriction on investments in China-A Shares via Shenzhen Hong Kong Stock Connect
The board of directors of Schroder International Selection Fund (the "Company") has decided to update the additional information of the Funds listed above (the “Funds”) as disclosed in the "Fund Details" section of the Hong Kong Covering Document of the Company.
The purpose of the update is to remove the restriction that the Funds will invest not more than 5% of their respective net asset value in China A-Shares via Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect. The Funds currently have the ability to invest ‘up to 10%’ of their assets in China A-Shares through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect.
The additional information applicable to the Funds which is being clarified in the "Fund Details" section of the Hong Kong Covering Document of the Company is as follows:
“For clarification, in relation to the Funds’ investment objectives as described in Appendix III to the Prospectus, the Funds may invest directly in China A-Shares via the Stock Connect. Indirect exposure to China A-Shares may also be sought for the Funds through investment in financial instruments such as China market access products and other funds with China access through RQFII/QFII quotas. The Funds do not currently intend to invest 30% or more of their respective Net Asset Value directly and indirectly in China A-Shares and China B-Shares.”
Change of investment policy
The board of directors of the Company has decided to change the investment policy of the Funds with effect from 1 February 2018 (the "Effective Date").
Page 2 of 2
The Funds will increase their flexibility to invest in China A-Shares through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect to ‘less than 30%’ of their assets.
All other key features of the Funds will remain the same.

Objectives and investment strategy Investment Objective
The fund aims to provide income and capital growth by investing in equity and equity related securities of Asia Pacific companies (excluding Japan).
Investment Policy
The fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in equity and equity related securities of Asia Pacific companies (excluding Japan).
The fund invests in the equities of companies in the Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) region that pay dividends now but also retain enough cash to reinvest back into the company to generate future growth. As the fund is index-unconstrained it is managed without reference to an index.
The fund may invest directly in China B-Shares and China H-Shares and may invest up to 10% of its assets in China A-Shares through Stock Connect (as defined below).
The fund is not subject to any limitation on the portion of its net asset value that may be invested in any country in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) (including emerging market countries) or sector. The fund is not subject to any limitation on the market capitalisation of the companies that it may invest in.
The fund may also invest in money market instruments and hold cash.
Under exceptional circumstances (e.g. market crash or major crisis), the fund may be invested temporarily up to 100% of its net asset value in liquid assets such as bank deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and treasury bills for cash flow management.
The fund may invest directly in China A-Shares via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect (collectively “Stock Connect”) (as further described in the section headed “Stock Connect” in the Hong Kong Covering Document). Indirect exposure to China A-Shares may also be sought for the fund through investment in financial instruments such as China market access products and other funds with China access through quota held by Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors or Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors. The fund does not currently intend to invest 30% or more of the net asset value of the fund directly and indirectly in China A-Shares and China B-Shares.
Use of financial derivative instruments (“FDI”)
The fund may use FDI with the aim of reducing risk or managing the fund more efficiently. FDI can be used for instance to create market exposures through equity, currency, volatility or index related financial derivative instruments and include over-the-counter and/or exchange traded options, futures, contracts for difference, warrants, swaps, forward contracts and/or a combination of the above. However, the fund does not intend to use FDI extensively for investment purposes.

What are the key risks? Investment involves risk. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors.
1. Equity investment risk
Investment in equity securities is subject to the risk that the market value of the stocks may go down as well as up due to numerous factors such as changes in investment sentiment, political environment, economic environment, issuer-specific factors, regional or global economic instability, currency and interest rate fluctuations. If the market value of the stocks go down the net asset value of the fund may be adversely affected.
2. Emerging and less developed markets
The fund may invest in emerging and less developed markets. Investing in emerging and less developed markets is subject to greater risks than investing in securities of developed countries such as ownership and custody risks, political and economic risks, market and settlement risks, liquidity and volatility risk, legal and regulatory risks, execution and counterparty risk, and currency risk, which may adversely affect the net asset value per share of the fund and investors may as a result suffer losses.
3. Risks related to investment in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”)
Investing in the securities market in the PRC is subject to the risks specific to the PRC market including change in political, social or economic policy risk, liquidity and volatility risk, currency and exchange risk.
– Change in political, social or economic policy risk – The investment will be sensitive to any significant change in political, social or economic policy in the PRC which may adversely affect the capital growth and thus the fund performance.
– Legal and regulatory risk – The regulatory and legal framework for capital markets and joint stock companies in the PRC may not be as well developed as those of developed countries. PRC companies are required to follow the PRC accounting standards and practice which may deviate significantly from international accounting standards. The settlement and clearing systems of the Chinese securities markets may not be well tested and may be subject to increased risks of error or inefficiency. Securities exchanges in the PRC typically have the right to suspend or limit trading in any security traded on the relevant exchange. The government or the regulators may also implement policies that may affect the financial markets. All these may have a negative impact on the fund.
– Liquidity and volatility risk – Compared with the choice available in other markets, there is a low level of liquidity in the A-Shares and B-Shares of the PRC markets. This could potentially lead to severe price volatility.
– Currency and exchange risk – The PRC government’s control of currency conversion and exchange rates may adversely affect the operations and financial results of the companies invested in by the fund.
– PRC taxation consideration – The fund investing in securities issued by companies resident in the PRC are subject to dividend withholding tax but are not currently subject to capital gains tax in the PRC. The tax laws, regulations and practice in the PRC are inherently uncertain and liable to change without prior notice. They may also be changed with retrospective effect. The fund does not currently make any provision for Chinese capital gains tax. If appropriate, a provision may be introduced for the fund to cover capital gains tax, withholding taxes or other taxes. Consequently, investors may be advantaged or disadvantaged depending upon the final rules.

4. Risks related to investments via the Stock Connect
The relevant rules and regulations on Stock Connect are subject to change which may have potential retrospective effect. The Stock Connect is subject to quota limitations. Where a suspension in the trading through the programme is effected, the fund’s ability to invest in China A-shares or access the PRC market through the programme will be adversely affected. In such event, the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective could be negatively affected.
5. Risks related to investments in China market access products
The fund may use China market access products to gain exposure to China A-Shares indirectly. This involves additional risks including lack of a secondary market in such instruments, illiquidity of the underlying securities, difficulty in selling these instruments at times when the underlying markets are closed and counterparty default risk.
6. Risks related to investments in other funds with China access
– Investing in other funds may result in additional operating fees and expenses from the underlying funds.
– The fund may invest in other funds with China access through quota held by Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“QFII”) or Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“RQFII”). Therefore, the fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the QFII/RQFII regime such as suspension or revocation of the QFII/RQFII status, insufficient quota for investment by the underlying funds, as well as, repatriation and liquidity risks.
7. FDI
The fund may use FDI to meet its specific investment objective. There is no guarantee that the performance of FDI will result in a positive effect for the fund. FDI exposure may lead to a high risk of significant capital loss. Risks associated with FDI include credit risk and counterparty risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, volatility risk, over-the-counter transaction risks and hedging risk. The leverage element/component of an FDI can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested in the FDI by the fund. There is no guarantee that the desired hedging instruments will be available or hedging techniques will achieve their desired result. In adverse situations, the use of hedging instruments may become ineffective in hedging and the fund may suffer significant losses.
8. Concentrated geographical locations
The fund investing in concentrated geographical locations may be subject to a higher level of risks comparing to a fund investing in a more diversified portfolio/strategy. The value of the fund may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the relevant geographical locations.
9. Smaller companies risk
Fund invests in smaller companies may fluctuate in value more than other funds and may be more vulnerable to adverse developments than those in larger companies. During periods where markets are falling, securities of smaller companies may become less liquid and experience short-term price volatility and wide spreads between dealing prices.

10. Risks relating to distributions
– For distribution share classes with a general dividend policy, expenses will be paid out of capital rather than out of gross income. The amount of distributable income therefore increases and the amount so increased may be considered to be dividend paid out of capital; capital growth will be reduced and in periods of low growth capital erosion may occur.
– Distribution share classes with a fixed dividend policy will distribute the dividends based on a fixed amount or fixed percentage of the net asset value per share. This may result in share classes with fixed distributions either paying out both income and capital in distribution payments, or not substantially distributing all the investment income which a share class has earned.
– Investments in distribution share classes with fixed dividend policy are not an alternative to a savings account or fixed-interest paying investment. The percentage of distributions paid by distribution share classes with fixed dividend policy is unrelated to expected or past income or returns of these share classes or the fund. The distribution can thus be higher or lower than the income and return that were effectively realised.
– Distribution share classes with fixed dividend policy will continue to distribute in periods that the fund has negative returns or is making losses, which further reduces the net asset value of the distribution Share Classes with fixed dividend policy. In extreme circumstances, investors may not be able to get back the original investment amount.
– Investors should note that a positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return. Distribution share classes with a fixed dividend policy do not distribute a fixed amount and the constant percentage of distribution results in higher absolute distributions when the net asset value of the relevant Distribution share classes with fixed dividend policy is high, and lower absolute distributions when the net asset value of the relevant distribution share classes with fixed dividend policy is low.
– You should note that in the circumstances where the payment of distributions are paid out of capital, this represents and amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of the amount you originally invested or capital gains attributable to that and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of shares.
11. Currency risks
Assets and share classes may be denominated in currencies other than USD and some may not be freely convertible. The fund may be adversely affected by changes in foreign exchange rates and exchange rate controls of the currencies in which securities are held, the reference currencies of the share classes and the US Dollar. This exposes all share classes of the fund to exchange rate fluctuations and currency risk. It may not be practicable or possible to hedge against such foreign exchange/currency risk exposure.
