1. FUND BROCHURE Baring Multi Asset Fund We believe that a multi asset investment approach can deliver investors long-term equity-like returns – our proxy for this is UK retail price inflation +4% – but with considerably less risk. We argue that the critical skill set in achieving this target is dynamic asset allocation, and a willingness to move between different asset classes at different times, ranging from equities and bonds to carefully selected alternatives such as gold and property.  Aims to deliver equity like returns with significantly less risk than equities.  Our return target of UK RPI + 4% is consistent with long term equity-like returns. We aim to deliver this return with less than 70% of equity risk.  Pragmatic approach that allows the fund to adapt to both times of economic expansion and times of uncertainty.  Dynamic asset allocation that is designed to participate in up-markets and protect in downturns. What sets us apart:  A long and established track record through all market conditions.  Barings Dynamic Asset Allocation strategy launched in 2003 and this fund launched in 2009.  A disciplined process focusing on the economic fundamentals yet conscious of the market cycle.  An experienced and well resourced team of seasoned investment professionals. *Source: Morningstar/Barings, as at 31 March 2016.

3. Our investment process Our beliefs  Asset allocation is the most important driver of returns.  While being in the right market at the right time is key, just as important is to retreat to a more defensive poise when necessary.  Simplicity is a virtue. We avoid complexity and financial engineering. A two stage process  Long term returns tend by be driven by a slowly evolving set of macro-economic and demographic factors.  Shorter term opportunities are presented as markets are inevitably more volatile than economic reality.  Our process combines strategic forecasting with a tactical discipline to exploit both types of factors to produce strong returns in a risk controlled manner. Why a flexible approach to asset allocation is critical – best and worst performing asset classes Source: Barings, as at 31 December 2015, in Sterling terms. Source: Barings, as at 31 December 2015.

Changes in asset allocation since inception How we manage risk  Dynamically: the aggregate risk level of the portfolio and the types of diversifiers need to be continually adjusted as economic and market conditions change.  Conservatively : willing to retreat to a defensive poise when risk levels are elevated.  Forward looking: conscious that what proved to be a defensive asset in the last downturn may not be so defensive next time. Flexible implementation  A wide universe: the ability to access a wide range of asset classes including equities, bonds, credit, property and alternatives.  A focused portfolio: within this wide universe we avoid over diversification and focus our portfolio on the assets and diversifiers we believe are appropriate given both the economic and market cycle.  Transparency: a pragmatic approach that does not involve computer driven black boxes and avoids leverage.
