The Charity Equity Fund
Fund Information Investment objective and policy
The Charity Equity Fund aims to provide participating charities with a total return (income and capital growth) in excess of the FTSE All Share Index over five year rolling periods. In order to achieve this objective, the fund may invest in securities anywhere in the world, although investment will be predominantly in good quality UK equities.
Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD)
The AIFMD, as implemented in the UK by the Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFMs) Regulations 2013, establishes an EU wide harmonised framework for monitoring and supervising risks posed by AIFMs and the alternative investment funds (AIFs) they manage. The fund is an AIF and Schroder Unit Trust Limited (the Manager) was authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to act as an AIFM on 2 July 2014. The AIFMD requires certain information to be disclosed to unitholders. It is intended that any such information will in future be provided in the report and accounts, unless such information is required to be disclosed without delay, in which case it will be made via the Schroders website at: www.schroders.com/en/uk/private-investor/fund-centre/changes-to-funds/

Fund Information (continued) [Insert text.]
Participation
Charities in England and Wales (and every “appropriate body” in Scotland and Northern Ireland) may participate in the fund unless specifically precluded by their deeds or other governing instrument. For A Income units and A Accumulation units the minimum initial investment is £1,000 and, for subsequent purchases £500. Applications for subscriptions into the S Income units are accepted at the Manager’s discretion. There is no maximum limit on the amount which may be invested. The fund can issue both Income and Accumulation units. Income unitholders receive regular quarterly distributions, while accumulation unitholders benefit from the reinvestment of their revenue into the fund.
Management charges
There is no preliminary charge. The Annual management charge is 0.50% (plus VAT) of the value of the fund for A Income units and A Accumulation units and 0.30% (plus VAT) for S Income units and is charged to the capital of the fund.
Investment Adviser
The Manager has delegated the function of Investment Adviser to Schroder Investment Management Limited. The Investment Adviser has appointed Schroder & Co Limited as its delegated sub-investment adviser.
Supervisory Board
The duties and responsibilities of the Supervisory Board are set out in the Scheme rules. These include the determination of the criteria and methods for evaluating the performance of the fund, making and revising a written statement of the investment objectives of the fund and an obligation to inform the Charity Commissioners promptly should the Supervisory Board not be satisfied at any time as to the compliance with the Scheme Particulars by the Trustee or the Manager.

The Charity Equity Fund
Review of Investment Activities From 31 March 2015 to 31 March 2016, the price of A Accumulation units on a selling price to selling price basis fell 4.91%. In comparison, the FTSE¹ All Share Index generated a negative total return of 3.92%². Our chosen banks had a difficult period in share price terms. Royal Bank of Scotland Group revealed its eighth consecutive year of annual losses while Barclays’ financial results were disappointing also, and included a dividend cut to preserve the bank’s balance sheet. Bank stocks generally have only been cheaper in early 2009 and late 2011 when systemic risk was at a peak yet profitable new business is helping them build significant excess capital. For the time being these profits remain masked by losses on legacy assets and exceptional charges. On the positive side the fund’s top performing holding over the period was electrical retailer Darty after it first attracted a bid from France’s Groupe Fnac and then a (recommended) counter offer from South African retailer Steinhoff International. Support services business Rentokil Initial was another top contributor on the back of strong financial results. Meanwhile, base metal miner South32 enjoyed a strong share price recovery, which highlighted the extent of the market’s prior panic, rather than a recovery in the fundamentals of the business. We continued to take profits in companies that have performed extremely well over the past couple of years such as interdealer broker ICAP, electrical and mobile phone retailer Dixons Carphone, Direct Line Insurance Group and pest control specialist Rentokil Initial. We took advantage of share price weakness to initiate positions in miners South32 and BHP Billiton. We also increased lowly valued positions such as Home Retail Group, which was subject to a bid approach soon after we added to it. We try to stand back from the market and attempt to identify long term trends that we can use to create long term value: placing emphasis on cash generative businesses with robust balance sheets, strong management teams, and cheap valuations. Today, the overall valuation of the UK equity market is near its long term average, implying a ten year return of approximately inflation +5% per annum for equity investors. It is crucial to point out that the market valuation is a simple average of the individual stocks within it, but within those stocks there are some exceptionally attractive opportunities. It is these opportunities that give us confidence in our ability to continue to extract the circa 2% per annum premium return offered to value investors over and above the market itself, through focusing investment in the cheapest parts of the market. 1 FTSE International Limited (“FTSE”) © FTSE. “FTSE®” is a trade mark of London Stock Exchange Plc and The Financial Times Limited and is used by FTSE International Limited under licence.

Please remember that past performance is not a guide to future performance and it might not be repeated. The value of investments and the revenue from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Because of this, you are not certain to make a profit on your investments and you may lose money. 6

The Charity Equity Fund
Risk Profile Specific risks
The fund invests in assets which are exposed to currencies other than sterling. Exchange rates may cause the value of overseas investments and the revenue from them to rise or fall. The fund invests in a smaller number of stocks. This carries more risk than funds spread across a larger number of companies. As a result of the Annual management charge being charged wholly to capital, the distributable revenue of the fund may be higher, but the capital value of the fund may be eroded which may affect future performance. For these reasons, the purchase of units should not normally be regarded as a short term investment.

Statement of the Manager’s Responsibilities The Manager is required by the Charities Act 2011 to prepare accounts for each annual and half yearly accounting period, in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), which give a true and fair view of the financial position of the fund and of its net revenue and the net capital losses on the property of the fund for the year. In preparing the accounts the Manager is required to: – select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; – comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and Regulation 6 of The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008; – follow generally accepted accounting principles and applicable accounting standards; – prepare the accounts on the basis that the fund will continue in operation unless it is inappropriate to do so; – keep proper accounting records which enable it to demonstrate that the accounts as prepared comply with the above requirements; – make judgements and estimates that are prudent and reasonable.

The Charity Equity Fund
Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of The Charity Equity Fund (continued) Other matters on which we are required to report by exception Sufficiency of accounting records and information and explanations received Under the Charities Act 2011 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion: – we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or – sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or – the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. Other information in the Manager’s Report Under the Charities Act 2011 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion the information given in the Manager’s Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility.
Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit Our responsibilities and those of the trustees As explained more fully in the Manager’s Responsibilities Statement set out on page 8, the Manager is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and ISAs (UK & Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the charity’s trustees as a body in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act (Regulation 24 of The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008) and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

The Charity Equity Fund
Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of The Charity Equity Fund (continued) What an audit of financial statements involves We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (ISAs (UK & Ireland)). An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: – whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the charity’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; – the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Manager; and – the overall presentation of the financial statements. We primarily focus our work in these areas by assessing the Manager’s judgements against available evidence, forming our own judgements, and evaluating the disclosures in the financial statements. We test and examine information, using sampling and other auditing techniques, to the extent we consider necessary to provide a reasonable basis for us to draw conclusions. We obtain audit evidence through testing the effectiveness of controls, substantive procedures or a combination of both. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Final Report and Accounts (the “Annual Report”) to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

The unit class was launched on 1 October 2014. 1 These figures have been rounded to 2 decimal places. 2 The amount received from dilution adjustments, that relate to direct transaction costs, is greater than the direct transaction costs incurred by the fund within the year/period. ** Direct transaction costs have been stated after deducting the proportion of the amounts collected from dilution adjustments. The Operating charges are calculated on an ex-post basis and as such may differ from the Ongoing charges figure where the Ongoing charges figure has been annualised for a unit class that has not been in existence for a full year. Please remember that past performance is not a guide to future performance and it might not be repeated. The value of investments and the revenue from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Because of this, you are not certain to make a profit on your investments and you may lose money. 15

Notes to the Accounts 1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of investments, and in accordance with applicable law and the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, the Scheme of the Charity Commissioners of 11 June 2007 and the disclosure requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for Financial Statements of UK Authorised Funds issued by the Investment Management Association (IMA (now The Investment Association)) in May 2014, which supersedes the SORP issued by the IMA in October 2010, and in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 (The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). Both of which became effective for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The accounts are exempt from complying with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP (2015) under paragraph 22 of that document. There have been no changes to the financial position or financial performance of the fund as a result of the above. Revenue Dividends receivable from equity investments are recognised net of attributable tax credits and are credited to revenue when they are first quoted ex-dividend. Interest receivable from bank balances is accounted for on an accruals basis. Special dividends Special dividends are treated as revenue or capital depending on the facts of each particular case. Expenses Expenses of the fund are charged against revenue except for costs associated with the purchase and sale of investments which are allocated to the capital of the fund. The Annual management charge is initially charged to revenue but ultimately borne by the capital of the fund. Distributions Quarterly distributions are made on 31 August, 30 November, 28 February and 31 May. Dilution adjustment In certain circumstances the Manager may apply a dilution adjustment on subscription and redemptions of units. If applied, the dilution adjustment is paid to the fund. See scheme particulars for further details.
22
The Charity Equity Fund
Notes to the Accounts (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2016 and 31 March 2015 the dilution adjustments of £23,374 and £32,572 respectively have been shown separately in the Statement of Change in Net Assets Attributable to Unitholders, previously they were included within Amounts receivable on issue of units and Amounts payable on cancellation of units in the Statement of Change in Net Assets Attributable to Unitholders. This is a change in presentation, there have been no changes to the financial position or financial performance of the fund as a result of the above. Valuation Listed investments of the fund have been valued at market value at 18:00 on the balance sheet date. Market value is defined by the SORP as fair value which generally is the bid value of each security and the offer value for short positions. Forward foreign exchange contracts Open forward foreign exchange contracts are shown in the Portfolio Statement at market value and the net losses are reflected under Net capital (losses)/gains in the Notes to the Accounts. Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities valued in foreign currencies have been translated into sterling at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and the net (losses)/gains are reflected under Net capital (losses)/gains in the Notes to the Accounts.

The Charity Equity Fund
Notes to the Accounts (continued) 5 Taxation
The Charity Equity Fund is a registered charity and its unitholders are restricted to those with charitable status in England and Wales and appropriate bodies in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Investment policy is set in recognition of the charitable restrictions and accordingly the revenue and the net capital gains are exempt from direct taxation in the United Kingdom. Indirect taxation suffered is included in the expenditure to which it relates. The Trustee, J.P.Morgan Europe Limited, arranges for the reclaim of tax on revenue received by the fund. However, it may not always be possible for overseas tax to be reclaimed. Quarterly distributions are paid without deduction of tax. (a) Analysis of the tax charge for the year

The Charity Equity Fund
Notes to the Accounts (continued) 11 Related party transactions
The Manager exercises control over the fund and is therefore a related party by virtue of its controlling influence. Amounts paid during the year or due to the Manager at the balance sheet date are disclosed under Expenses and Other creditors in the Notes to the Accounts. The Manager acts as principal on all transactions of units in the fund. The aggregate monies received through the issue and cancellation of units are disclosed in the Statement of Change in Net Assets Attributable to Unitholders and Distributions in the Notes to the Accounts. Amounts due from or to the Manager in respect of unit transactions at the balance sheet date are disclosed under Debtors and Other creditors in the Notes to the Accounts. Units held or managed by the Manager or associates of the Manager as a percentage of the fund's net asset value at the balance sheet date were 66.38% (2015 – 61.24%).
12 Unit classes
The fund currently has three unit classes: A Income units, A Accumulation units and S Income units. The Annual management charge (plus VAT) is based on the average value of the fund, calculated on a monthly basis, and covers the remuneration of the Manager, the Investment Adviser and their overhead expenses and for each unit class is as follows: A Income units A Accumulation units S Income units
0.50% 0.50% 0.30%
The closing net asset value of each unit class, the closing net asset value per unit and the closing number of units in each class are given in the Comparative Tables on page 13 to 15. The distribution per unit class is given in the Distribution Table on pages 33 and 34. All classes have the same rights on winding up.
13 Derivative and other financial instruments
In accordance with the investment objective, the fund may hold certain financial instruments. These comprise: – securities held in accordance with the investment objective and policy; – cash and short term debtors and creditors arising directly from operations. The fund has little exposure to credit risk. The main risks arising from the fund's financial instruments are market price, foreign exchange, liquidity and interest rate risks. The Manager’s policies for managing these risks are summarised below and have been applied throughout the year and the prior year. 27
The Charity Equity Fund
Notes to the Accounts (continued) Market price risk The fund's investment portfolio is exposed to market price fluctuations which are monitored by the Manager in pursuance of the investment objective and policy. Adherence to investment guidelines and to investment and borrowing powers set out in the Scheme made by the Charity Commissioners on 11 June 2007 and the Scheme Particulars mitigates the risk of excessive exposure to any particular type of security or issuer. Foreign currency risk The fund invests in overseas securities and the balance sheet can be significantly affected by movements in foreign exchange rates. The Manager seeks to manage exposure to currency movements by using forward foreign exchange contracts. Revenue received in other currencies is translated to sterling on or near the date of receipt. The fund does not hedge or otherwise seek to avoid currency movement risk on accrued revenue. Currency risk profile The currency risk profile of the fund’s net assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date was as follows:

Liquidity risk The primary source of this risk to the fund is the liability to unitholders for any cancellation of units. This risk is minimised by holding cash, readily realisable securities and access to overdraft facilities up to the amount prescribed by the COLL. Interest rate risk Interest receivable on bank balances will be affected by fluctuations in interest rates.

There are no material amounts of non-interest bearing financial assets, other than equities which do not have a maturity date. Floating rate financial assets and financial liabilities Sterling denominated bank balances bear interest at rates based on the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities There is no material difference between the value of the financial assets and liabilities, as shown in the balance sheet, and their fair value.

The Charity Equity Fund
Notes to the Accounts (continued) 14 Direct transaction costs
In the case of shares, broker commissions and transfer taxes/stamp duty are paid by the fund on each transaction. In addition, there is a dealing spread between buying and selling prices of the underlying investments. Unlike shares, other types of investments (such as bonds, money market instruments, derivatives) have no separately identifiable transaction costs; these costs form part of the dealing spread. Dealing spreads vary considerably depending on the transaction value and market sentiment.

Remuneration Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) Remuneration Disclosures for Schroder Unit Trust Limited (SUTL) as at 31 December 2015 The following disclosures are required under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD). These disclosures should be read in conjunction with the Schroders Remuneration Report on pages 68 to 86 of the 2015 Annual Report & Accounts (available on the Group’s website – www.schroders.com/ir), which provides more information on the activities of our Remuneration Committee and our remuneration principles and policies. Details of the AIFM Remuneration Code can be found at www.fca.org.uk, in the Senior Management Arrangements, Systems and Controls Sourcebook (SYSC 19B). The Remuneration Committee of Schroders plc has established an AIFM Remuneration Policy to ensure the requirements of the AIFM Remuneration Code are met proportionately for all AIFM Remuneration Code Staff. You can get details of the latest remuneration policy at www.schroders.com/Remunerationdisclosures. The total amount of remuneration paid by SUTL to its staff is nil as SUTL has no employees. AIFM Remuneration Code Staff of SUTL are employed and paid by other Schroders group companies. Employees who serve as Directors of SUTL receive no additional fees in respect of their role on the Board of SUTL. SUTL manages a total of £42,989 million assets under management, £16,753 million of which are in Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs). SUTL’s Code Staff are individuals in roles which can materially affect the risk of SUTL or any AIF it manages. These individuals are employed by and provide services to other companies in, and clients of, the Schroders Group. As a result, only a portion of remuneration for those individuals is included in the aggregate remuneration figures that follow, based on an objective apportionment to reflect the balance of each role. The aggregate total remuneration paid to the 140 AIFM Remuneration Code Staff of SUTL is £11,548,623, of which £3,891,982 is paid to Senior Management and £7,656,641 is paid to other AIFM Remuneration Code Staff.
