Schroder Multi-Asset Growth Portfolio
Investment Objective
Schroder Multi-Asset Growth Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks its objective through a flexible asset allocation approach, investing in traditional and alternative asset classes.
The Fund seeks these returns by using a combination of the following strategies:
| > |
Allocating its investments among a broad array of traditional asset classes, such as equity and fixed-income investments, and less traditional, alternative asset classes, such as investments in real estate, commodities, currencies, and private equity, and investments in absolute return strategies, described below;
|
| > |
On-going asset allocation across markets and asset classes in response to changing market conditions and market cycles; and
|
| > |
Specialist management within certain of the underlying asset classes. The Fund's adviser or sub-adviser may itself manage the Fund's assets allocated to a particular asset class, either directly or through a mutual fund or other pooled vehicle managed by it, or it may invest the Fund's assets in other investment companies or private investment pools providing access to specialist management outside of the Schroders organization.

1 A $100 subsequent purchase amount applies for automatic investment plans.
2 As discussed in the prospectus, the initial sales load with respect to A Shares may be waived in certain circumstances.
3 In order to limit the expenses of the Schroder Multi Asset Growth Portfolio, the fund's adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its compensation (and, if necessary, to pay other fund expenses) until February 28, 2009. The "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" are the expenses indirectly incurred by the Fund as a result of its investments in one or more underlying funds, including ETFs and money market funds. Because these costs are indirect, the total operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund's financial statements, since financial statements only include direct costs of the Fund and not the indirect costs of investing in the underlying funds. Excluding these indirect cost of the underlying funds, total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for Investor Shares would be 1.64%, Advisor Shares would be 1.89% and for A Shares would be 1.89%; and net expenses after waivers and expense reimbursements would be: 1.25% for Investor Shares, 1.50% for Advisor Shares and 1.50% for A Shares.
4 As of the current prospectus.
Performance data does not reflect a 2.00% redemption fee on shares redeemed two months or less from their date of purchase, which applies to the Schroder Multi-Asset Growth Portfolio Investor Shares; if this redemption fee were reflected, one-month performance for these funds would be lower than that shown. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
