REPORT OF THE AUTHORISED CORPORATE DIRECTOR
THE COMPANY Aviva Investors Portfolio Funds ICVC (“the Company”) is an Open-Ended Investment Company (OEIC) with variable capital incorporated in England and Wales on 5 March 2007. The property of the Company is entrusted to J.P. Morgan Europe Limited (“the Depositary”). The shareholders are not liable for any debts of the Company. The object of the Company is to invest the Scheme Property in transferable securities, money market instruments, cash and near cash, units in collective investment schemes, deposits, derivatives and forward transactions, immovable property and gold in accordance with the COLL Sourcebook (which may include stock lending, borrowing, cash holdings, hedging and using other investment techniques permitted in COLL Sourcebook) with the aim of spreading investment risk and giving its Shareholders the benefit of the results of the management of that property. The Company has an umbrella structure which means that it contains many sub-funds, each with a different investment objective. In the financial statements you will find an investment review for each Fund which includes details of the investment objectives. There are currently twenty-two Funds in the Aviva Investors Portfo lio Funds ICVC.
AUTHORISED STATUS From 5 March 2007 the Company was authorised as an OpenEnded Investment Company under Regulation 12 of the OpenEnded Investment Companies Regulations 2001 ( “Regulations”). The Company is authorised to operate as a “Non-UCITS Retail Scheme” for the purposes of the COLL Sourcebook and as an Authorised Investment Fund (“AIF”) for the purposes of the FUND Sourcebook.

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS We are pleased to present the interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 31 August 2024. As required by the Regulations, information for each of the Funds has been included in these financial statements.

The ACD intends to terminate the Funds “Aviva Investors Sustainable Stewardship UK Equity Feeder Fund” and “Aviva Investors Sustainable Stewardship UK Equity Income Feeder Fund”. As a result, the ACD has prepared the financial statements of these Funds on a break-up basis. The financial statements for the remaining Funds of the Company and the Company as a whole have been prepared on the going concern basis.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGS The Company will not be holding any Annual General Meetings.
SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION
CHANGES TO THE PROSPECTUS On 13 March 2024, we made several updates to our Prospectuses, as we do annually to ensure the disclosures are as clear as possible and to make sure all elements of the Prospectus are up to date, including administrative data and fund performance. Among the changes made, we updated the section on conflicts of interest to make it clearer to investors where the responsibilities for monitoring conflicts lie; we updated the investment exclusions wording to ensure we are transparent about the investment manager’s discretion to make decisions in applying the exclusion policy; and we added a section on Client Money to clarify what happens to payments outside of the delivery vs payment window. We also made some changes to the way in which the charges applicable to the Funds are displayed, in order to make this clearer for our investors. On 2 July 2024 we updated the Prospectuses and Instruments of Incorporation for the Aviva Investors Investment Funds ICVC, the Aviva Investors Portfolio Funds ICVC, the Aviva Investors Select Funds ICVC and the Aviva Investors Manager of Managers ICVC (ICVC 2) to introduce the right to convert investors into another share class of the same fund, where this is in the best interests of investors. We would only move your investment in this way if we had first sent a notice to you explaining the options available to you and you had not responded to confirm any other action you would l ike us to take. On 11 September 2024, an amended version of the Prospectus for the Aviva Investors Portfolio Funds ICVC was filed reflecting the availability of Share Class 9 in the Aviva Investors Stewardship International Equity Fund, changes to the fee fo r Share Class 2 in Aviva Investors Stewardship International Equity Fund and reductions to the Share Class 9 fees in the Aviva Investors MAF Sustainable Stewardship Fund I, Aviva Investors MAF Sustainable Stewardship Fund II, Aviva Investors MAF Sustainable Stewardship Fund III and Aviva Investors MAF Sustainable Stewa rdship Fund IV.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Fund aims to grow your investment ove r the long term (5 years or more) through a combination of income and capital returns by investing in other funds (including funds managed by Aviva Invest ors companies).
INVESTMENT POLICY Core investment At least 80% of the Fund will be invested in other funds, which in turn invest in a range of global asset classes (including emerging markets). The Fund’s asset class exposures will be made up of the combined holdings of the other funds, with at least 75% of the combined holdings being invested in the shares of companies, and a maximum of 25% in b onds and cash*. Other Investment The Fund may also invest indirect ly in property. Derivatives may be used to gain exposure to an asset class which may otherwise be difficult or costly to achieve, or to manage the Fund’s cash flows in a cost-effective manner. Derivatives may also be used to reduce risk, such as foreign currency risk within the Fund. This type of derivative usage is called “efficient portfol io management”. Strategy The Fund is actively managed to blend asset classes for diversification, different asset allocations can be selected depending on market conditions and opportunities. The Investment Manager relies on an assessment of seven criteria (Parent, Product, Philosophy, Process, People, Performance, Position) to determine which funds are suitable for investment, with the intention of creating an optimum risk and reward profile within the limits of the Investment Association (the “IA”) Flexible Investment Sector (the “Sector”). The Sector is made up of other funds managed withi n these limits. Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) factors ESG factors are also integrated into the criteria used in the selection of funds for investment, based upon the underlying manager’s ability to demonstrate an appropriate ESG framework, and their consideration of ESG factors in the investment process, but this does not mean that these funds are required to have ESG outcomes, and the Investment Manager retains discretion over which investments are selected for the Fund. In addition, the Fund has limited exclusions based on Aviva Investors’ UK Responsible Inve stment policy. Further information on how we integrate ESG and the Aviva Investors UK Responsible Investment policy into our investment approach, and how we engage with companies is available on our website and in the Prospectus. Performance & Risk Measurement The Fund’s performance is compared against the Investment Association Flexible Investment Sector (the “Sector”). The Fund uses a “tracking error” to measure the consistency between the Fund’s returns and the returns of the Sector. In general, the lower the tracking error, the more consistent the Fund’s returns are relative to the Sector, and vice-versa. The Fund is expected to have an average yearly tracking error of between 2% and 6% when compared to the Sector. In certain conditions the Fund may be outside of this range.
The Sector is an industry benchmark, which consists of all UK funds which have elected to become constituents of the Sector, and meet the criteria of the Sector, as detailed by the IA’s Se ctor Committee. The Fund does not base its investment process on the Sector and, depending on market conditions, the Fund’s returns could be similar to or very different f orm the Sector. The Sector has been selected as a benchmark for performance and risk measurement because the Fund will be managed with reference to the Sector, and it is therefore an appropriate comparator for the Fund ’s performance. * Where this exposure to an asset class is achieved indirectly by virtue of an investment in an underlying fund, these thresholds will be calculated based on the type of the underlying fund, not the actual assets in which it invests. For example, 100% of the amount invested in an underlying fund which is classed as an equity fund will be treated as being invested in the shares of companies, even though it may also hold a proportion of cash.
FUND MANAGER’S REPORT Performance Over the six months ended 31 August 2024, the Fund returned 7.6%* (share class 1, net of fees). The Investment Association Flexible Investments Sector returned 5.1% over t he same period. The tracking error at the period end was 1.97%. Review It was a positive six-month period for global investment markets in aggregate. Equities made the strongest progress as investors’ appetite for risk was supported by expectations that interest rates would be cut in response to a broadly positive trend in inflation. There were also increasing hopes that the US economy would avoid sliding into recession and achieve a so-called ‘soft landing’. Elsewhere, evidence accumulated that the downturn in the Eurozone was easing, while optimism also grew about the outlook for Japan. In the event, the central banks of the Eurozone, Canada, Sweden and the UK all began to cut interest rates during the period, with the US expected to follow in September given improved inflation data. Among the main markets, the US was the strongest, driven largely by the ongoing rally of the large technology companies. The weaker performance of China nevertheless continued to weigh on global growth as the economy continued to face structural problems such as a heavily indebted p roperty sector. Bond markets were weaker by comparison. Investors became concerned that, despite the central banks starting to cut interest rates, the pace of future policy easing may be slower than had been anticipated. Indeed, many policymakers sought to play down the prospect of rapid cuts given the ongoing presence of stubborn underlying inflationary pressures, not least in the se rvices sector. Corporate bonds nevertheless made solid total returns, despite the headwind of rich valuations. The market was supported by resilient earnings in a number of sectors and strong demand from investors who were keen to lock in higher yields before interest rates began to f all in earnest.

FUND MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED) Outlook Global economic output for 2024 looks set to fall short of the 3.0% growth seen last year. As for the US, growth looks likely to cool, reflecting the ongoing impact of higher interest rates and a reduced contribution from government expenditure. Nonetheless, healthy growth in household disposable incomes, improving corporate profitability and increasing investment in areas related to technology and the green transition should ensure the economy continues to expand at a re spectable pace. Given that recessions in major economies were seen as a real concern earlier in the year, this ‘soft’ economic landing has come as a relief to equity markets. Nonetheless, it involves a trade-off as, while growth remains robust, the decline in inflation has stalled in many places. Overall, we see a constructive backdrop for equities, with developed markets likely to perform better than emerging marke ts in our view. While the main central banks have begun cutting interest rates, the accompanying statements from the policy makers have been cautious, signalling little prospect of a further rapid decline. Given the likelihood the US economy will slow, we see scope for government bond prices to appreciate modestly from here, although concern over high fiscal deficits limits any upside. Rich valuations are a headwind for corporate bonds but falling interest rates will ease the pressure on many heavily indeb ted companies.

The OCF is made up of the Fund Management Fee and, where a fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in other funds, an amount for the pro-rated charges of those other funds (referred to as “synthetic charges” or the “synthetic” part of the ongoing charge). The figure for ongoing charges excludes performance fees and portfolio transaction costs, except in the case of an entry/exit charge paid by the Fund when buying or selling shares/units in another collective investment scheme. The OCF includes a synthetic charge of 0.40% (28.02.24: 0.49%) in respect of underlying investments. 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.

Aviva Investors Multi-Manager 40-85% Shares Fund
11
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Fund aims to grow your investment and provide an average annual net return greater than the Investment Association Mixed Investment 40-85% Shares Sector (the “Sector”) over a rolling 5 year period through a combination of income and capital returns by investing in other funds (including funds managed by Aviva Invest ors companies).
INVESTMENT POLICY Core investment At least 80% of the Fund will be invested in other funds, which in turn invest in a range of global asset classes (including emerging markets). The Fund’s asset class exposures will be made up of the combined holdings of the other funds, of which at between 40% and 85% of the combined holdings will be invested in the shares of companies. The other funds may also invest in b onds and cash.* Other Investment The Fund may also invest indirect ly in property. Derivatives may be used to gain exposure to an asset class which may otherwise be difficult or costly to achieve, or to manage the Fund’s cash flows in a cost-effective manner. Derivatives may also be used to reduce risk, such as foreign currency risk within the Fund. This type of derivative usage is called “efficient portfol io management”. Strategy The Fund is actively managed to blend asset classes for diversification, different asset allocations can be selected depending on market conditions and opportunities. The Investment Manager relies on an assessment of seven criteria (Parent, Product, Philosophy, Process, People, Performance, Position) to determine which funds are suitable for investment, with the intention of creating an optimum risk and reward profile within the limits of the Investment Association (the “IA”) Mixed Investment 40-85% Shares Sector (the “Sector”). The Sector is made up of other funds managed withi n these limits. Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) factors ESG factors are also integrated into the criteria used in the selection of funds for investment, based upon the underlying manager’s ability to demonstrate an appropriate ESG framework, and their consideration of ESG factors in the investment process, but this does not mean that these funds are required to have ESG outcomes, and the Investment Manager retains discretion over which investments are selected for the Fund. Further information on how we integrate ESG and the Aviva Investors UK Responsible Investment policy into our investment approach, and how we engage with companies is available on our website and in the Prospectus.
Performance & Risk Measurement The Fund’s performance is measured against the Sector, after char ges and taxes. The Fund uses a “tracking error” to measure the consistency between the Fund’s returns and the returns of the Sector. In general, the lower the tracking error, the more consistent the Fund’s returns are relative to the Sector, and vice-versa. The Fund is expected to have an average yearly tracking error of between 2% and 6% when compared to the Sector. In certain conditions the Fund may be outside of this range. The Sector is an industry benchmark, which consists of all UK funds which have elected to become constituents of the Sector, and meet the criteria of the Sector, as detailed by the IA’s Se ctor Committee. The Sector has been selected as a benchmark for performance and risk measurement because the Fund will be managed in line with the criteria of the Sector, and it is therefore an appropriate comparator for the Fund ’s performance. * Where this exposure to an asset class is achieved indirectly by virtue of an investment in an underlying fund, these thresholds will be calculated based on the type of the underlying fund, not the actual assets in which it invests. For example, 100% of the amount invested in an underlying fund which is classed as an equity fund will be treated as being invested in the shares of companies, even though it may also hold a proportion of cash.
FUND MANAGER’S REPORT Performance Over the six months ended 31 August 2024, the Fund returned 4.8%* (share class 1, net of fees). The Investment Association Mixed Investment 40-85% Shares Sector returned 5.7% over t he same period. The tracking error at the period end was 1.58%. Review It was a positive six-month period for global investment markets in aggregate. Equities made the strongest progress as investors’ appetite for risk was supported by expectations that interest rates would be cut in response to a broadly positive trend in inflation. There were also increasing hopes that the US economy would avoid sliding into recession and achieve a so-called ‘soft landing’. Elsewhere, evidence accumulated that the downturn in the Eurozone was easing, while optimism also grew about the outlook for Japan. In the event, the central banks of the Eurozone, Canada, Sweden and the UK all began to cut interest rates during the period, with the US expected to follow in September given improved inflation data. Among the main markets, the US was the strongest, driven largely by the ongoing rally of the large technology companies. The weaker performance of China nevertheless continued to weigh on global growth as the economy continued to face structural problems such as a heavily indebted p roperty sector. Bond markets were weaker by comparison. Investors became concerned that, despite the central banks starting to cut interest rates, the pace of future policy easing may be slower than had been anticipated. Indeed, many policymakers sought to play down the prospect of rapid cuts given the ongoing presence of stubborn underlying inflationary pressures, not least in the services sector. The period was also notable for the decision of the Bank of Japan to end its long-held negative interest rate policy. This led to heightened volatility across Japanese government bonds, particularly when a surprise interest rate hike was announced at th e end of July.

AVIVA INVESTORS MULTI-MANAGER 40-85% SHARES FUND (CONTINUED)
FUND MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED) Review (continued) Corporate bonds nevertheless made solid total returns, despite the headwind of rich valuations. The market was supported by resilient earnings in a number of sectors and strong demand from investors who were keen to lock in higher yields before interest rates began to f all in earnest. Outlook Global economic output for 2024 looks set to fall short of the 3.0% growth seen last year. As for the US, growth looks likely to cool, reflecting the ongoing impact of higher interest rates and a reduced contribution from government expenditure. Nonetheless, healthy growth in household disposable incomes, improving corporate profitability and increasing investment in areas related to technology and the green transition should ensure the economy continues to expand at a re spectable pace. Given that recessions in major economies were seen as a real concern earlier in the year, this ‘soft’ economic landing has come as a relief to equity markets. Nonetheless, it involves a trade-off as, while growth remains robust, the decline in inflation has stalled in many places. Overall, we see a constructive backdrop for equities, with developed markets likely to perform better than emerging marke ts in our view. While the main central banks have begun cutting interest rates, the accompanying statements from the policy makers have been cautious, signalling little prospect of a further rapid decline. Given the likelihood the US economy will slow, we see scope for government bond prices to appreciate modestly from here, although concern over high fiscal deficits limits any upside. Rich valuations are a headwind for corporate bonds but falling interest rates will ease the pressure on many heavily indeb ted companies.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Fund aims to grow your investment ove r the long term (5 years or more) through a combination of income and capital returns by investing in other funds (including funds managed by Aviva Investo rs companies).
INVESTMENT POLICY Core investment At least 80% of the Fund will be invested in other funds, which in turn invest in a range of global asset classes (including emerging markets). The Fund’s asset class exposures will be made up of the combined holdings of the other funds, of which between 20% and 60% of the combined holdings will be invested in the shares of companies, and a minimum of 30% in bo nds and cash*. At least 60% of the Fund’s underlying assets will be held in US Dollars, Sterling or Euros, with a minimum of 3 0% in Sterling. Other Investment The Fund may also invest indirect ly in property. Derivatives may be used to gain exposure to an asset class which may otherwise be difficult or costly to achieve, or to manage the Fund’s cash flows in a cost-effective manner. Derivatives may also be used to reduce risk, such as foreign currency risk within the Fund. This type of derivative usage is called “efficient portfol io management”. Strategy The Fund is actively managed to blend asset classes for diversification, different asset allocations can be selected depending on market conditions and opportunities. The Investment Manager relies on an assessment of seven criteria (Parent, Product, Philosophy, Process, People, Performance, Position) to determine which funds are suitable for investment, with the intention of creating an optimum risk and reward profile within the limits of the Investment Association (the “IA”) Mixed Investment 20-60% Shares Sector (the “Sector”). The Sector is made up of other funds managed withi n these limits. Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) factors ESG factors are also integrated into the criteria used in the selection of funds for investment, based upon the underlying manager’s ability to demonstrate an appropriate ESG framework, and their consideration of ESG factors in the investment process, but this does not mean that these funds are required to have ESG outcomes, and the Investment Manager retains discretion over which investments are selected for the Fund. Further information on how we integrate ESG and the Aviva Investors UK Responsible Investment policy into our investment approach, and how we engage with companies is available on our website and in the Prospectus. Performance & Risk Measurement The Fund’s performance is measured against the Sector, after cha rges and taxes. The Fund uses a “tracking error” to measure the consistency between the Fund’s returns and the returns of the Sector. In general, the lower the tracking error, the more consistent the Fund’s returns are relative to the Sector, and vice-versa. The Fund is expected to have an average yearly tracking error of between 2% and 6% when compared to the Sector. In certain conditions the Fund may be outside of this range.
The Sector is an industry benchmark, which consists of all UK funds which have elected to become constituents of the Sector, and meet the criteria of the Sector, as detailed by the IA’s Se ctor Committee. The Sector has been selected as a benchmark for performance and risk measurement because the Fund will be managed in line with the criteria of the Sector, and it is therefore an appropriate comparator for the Fund ’s performance. * Where this exposure to an asset class is achieved indirectly by virtue of an investment in an underlying fund, these thresholds will be calculated based on the type of the underlying fund, not the actual assets in which it invests. For example, 100% of the amount invested in an underlying fund which is classed as an equity fund will be treated as being invested in the shares of companies, even though it may also hold a proportion of cash.
FUND MANAGER’S REPORT Performance Over the six months ended 31 August 2024, the Fund returned 3.0%* (share class 1, net of fees). The Investment Association Mixed Investment 20-60% Shares Sector returned 2.7% over t he same period. The tracking error at the period end was 1.18%. Review It was a positive six-month period for global investment markets in aggregate. Equities made the strongest progress as investors’ appetite for risk was supported by expectations that interest rates would be cut in response to a broadly positive trend in inflation. There were also increasing hopes that the US economy would avoid sliding into recession and achieve a so-called ‘soft landing’. Elsewhere, evidence accumulated that the downturn in the Eurozone was easing, while optimism also grew about the outlook for Japan. In the event, the central banks of the Eurozone, Canada, Sweden and the UK all began to cut interest rates during the period, with the US expected to follow in September given improved inflation data. Among the main markets, the US was the strongest, driven largely by the ongoing rally of the large technology companies. The weaker performance of China nevertheless continued to weigh on global growth as the economy continued to face structural problems such as a heavily indebted p roperty sector. Bond markets were weaker by comparison. Investors became concerned that, despite the central banks starting to cut interest rates, the pace of future policy easing may be slower than had been anticipated. Indeed, many policymakers sought to play down the prospect of rapid cuts given the ongoing presence of stubborn underlying inflationary pressures, not least in the services sector. The period was also notable for the decision of the Bank of Japan to end its long-held negative interest rate policy. This led to heightened volatility across Japanese government bonds, particularly when a surprise interest rate hike was announced at th e end of July. Corporate bonds nevertheless made solid total returns, despite the headwind of rich valuations. The market was supported by resilient earnings in a number of sectors and strong demand from investors who were keen to lock in higher yields before interest rates began to f all in earnest.

AVIVA INVESTORS MULTI-MANAGER 20-60% SHARES FUND (CONTINUED)
FUND MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED) Outlook Global economic output for 2024 looks set to fall short of the 3.0% growth seen last year. As for the US, growth looks likely to cool, reflecting the ongoing impact of higher interest rates and a reduced contribution from government expenditure. Nonetheless, healthy growth in household disposable incomes, improving corporate profitability and increasing investment in areas related to technology and the green transition should ensure the economy continues to expand at a re spectable pace. Given that recessions in major economies were seen as a real concern earlier in the year, this ‘soft’ economic landing has come as a relief to equity markets. Nonetheless, it involves a trade-off as, while growth remains robust, the decline in inflation has stalled in many places. Overall, we see a constructive backdrop for equities, with developed markets likely to perform better than emerging marke ts in our view. While the main central banks have begun cutting interest rates, the accompanying statements from the policy makers have been cautious, signalling little prospect of a further rapid decline. Given the likelihood the US economy will slow, we see scope for government bond prices to appreciate modestly from here, although concern over high fiscal deficits limits any upside. Rich valuations are a headwind for corporate bonds but falling interest rates will ease the pressure on many heavily indeb ted companies.

Aviva Investors Multi-asset Core Fund I

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Fund aims to grow your investment over the long term (5 years or more) through a combination of income and capital growth. The Fund targets an overall average return before charges and taxes of at least 0.30% greater than the performance benchmark per year, measured over 3-year r olling periods. The performance benchmark is a composite index, comprising 20% MSCI® All Countries World Index (Net) GBP and 80% Bloomberg® Global Aggregate Bond Index Hedged GBP (the “Perfo rmance Index”). The Fund is managed to a “defensive” risk profile and aims to remain within a defined risk range of 16% to 24% of the volatility of “Global Equities”, targeting 20%. The benchmark used to represent the volatility of “Global Equities” is MSCI® All Countries World Index (Net) GBP (the “Volatility Index”). Volatility is measured on an annualised basis, over 3-year rolling periods, using the volatility figures as at the end of each month.
INVESTMENT POLICY Core investment The Fund will invest in a variety of global asset classes, namely shares of both developed and emerging market companies, bonds issued by companies, governments, or large institutional organisations in developed and emerging markets, cash and money market instruments. It will gain this exposure by investing directly in these assets, through the use of derivatives or investing in other funds (including funds managed by Aviva Invest ors companies). Derivatives may be used for investment purposes to generate additional returns for the Fund but will not materially alter the risk profile. They are also used to gain exposure to asset classes which may otherwise be difficult or costly to achieve, or to manage the Fund’s cash flows in a cost-effective manner. Derivatives may also be used to reduce risk, such as foreign currency risk w ithin the Fund. Other Investment The Fund may also invest in property via real estate investment trusts, and indirectly in commodities, for example through another collective investment scheme, exchange traded commodity o r a derivative. Strategy The Fund is actively managed and uses an asset allocation technique to blend asset classes for diversification aiming to provide returns consistent with the Fund’s “defensive” risk profile and return target. Based on a longer-term outlook, the Fund uses an asset allocation model which determines, within a range, the Fund’s allocation to the different asset classes. The asset mix of the Fund will be rebalanced on a periodic basis taking into account the results of the model, the “defensive” risk profile and mar ket conditions. The Fund aims to efficiently gain exposure to global asset classes and may make use of active, passive and semi passive methods to do so. Specifically, for the exposure to shares in global companies, it will use a passive sampling approach, with an active ESG overlay which is described further below. The Fund is part of a range of five multi asset core funds, each with their own risk profile, ranging from I (the lowest) to V (the highest). This Fund is number I in the range. For more information on these funds please refer to the Prospectus.
Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) factors The Investment Manager uses an ESG Overlay when selecting securities issued by global companies in developed markets and Sovereign issuers such that the expectation is that these allocations will have a better ESG score relative to the ESG score of the Underlying Markets, whilst seeking to maintain the risk profile stated in the Fund’s invest ment objective. The Fund has limited exclusions based on Aviva Investors’ UK Responsible Inv estment Policy. A portfolio is then created (the ESG Overlay), after the excluded companies are removed, such that holdings will be either overweighted, underweighted or potentially excluded relative to the Underlying Markets, based on ESG scores. These scores assess a company’s resilience to financially material environmental, societal and governance risks, being risks to their financial performance. Further information on the ESG Overlay is set out in this Prospectus under the sub-heading “ESG Overlay applied to the Aviva Investors Multi-ass et Core Funds”. Information on how we integrate ESG and the Aviva Investors UK Responsible Investment Policy into our investment approach is available on our website and in the Prospectus. Performance & Risk Measurement The Fund does not base its investment process on either the Performance Index or the Volatility Index, so will not hold every asset in them, and may also hold assets that do not form part of them. The Fund’s returns could therefore be very different from those of the Performance Index and the Volatility Index. Volatility measures how much the returns of the Fund may fluctuate and is an indicator of the level of risk taken by the Investment Manager. There may be times when the Fund operates outside of its defi ned risk range. The MSCI® All Country World Index (Net) GBP (representing 20% of the Performance Index and 100% of the Volatility Index) comprises large and medium-sized companies, as determined by their market capitalisation (total market value of a company’s outstanding shares), from both developed and emerging markets, and the index is designed to provide a broad measure of global equity market performance. The Bloomberg® Global Aggregate Bond Index Hedged GBP (representing 80% of the Performance Index) is a measure of global investment grade debt from twenty-four local cu rrency markets. The Performance Index has been selected as a target benchmark for performance because it is representative of the type of assets in which the Fund is likely to invest, and it is therefore an appropriate measure for the Fund’s performance. For the purposes of calculating the 20%/80% weighting, the Performance Index is re-balanced as at the end of each month. The Volatility Index has been selected as a benchmark for risk measurement due to the broad range of companies that it represents, and it is therefore an appropriate measure of the volatility of G lobal Equities.

FUND MANAGER’S REPORT Performance Over the six months ended 31 August 2024, the Fund returned 4.2%* (share class 1, net of fees). The Fund’s composite benchmark returned 4.5% over t he same period. Review It was a positive six-month period for global investment markets in aggregate. Equities made the strongest progress as investors’ appetite for risk was supported by expectations that interest rates would be cut in response to a broadly positive trend in inflation. There were also increasing hopes that the US economy would avoid sliding into recession and achieve a so-called ‘soft landing’. Elsewhere, evidence accumulated that the downturn in the Eurozone was easing, while optimism also grew about the outlook for Japan. In the event, the central banks of the Eurozone, Canada, Sweden and the UK all began to cut interest rates during the period, with the US expected to follow in September given improved inflation data. Among the main markets, the US was the strongest, driven largely by the ongoing rally of the large technology companies. The weaker performance of China nevertheless continued to weigh on global growth as the economy continued to face structural problems such as a heavily indebted p roperty sector. Bond markets were weaker by comparison. Investors became concerned that, despite the central banks starting to cut interest rates, the pace of future policy easing may be slower than had been anticipated. Indeed, many policymakers sought to play down the prospect of rapid cuts given the ongoing presence of stubborn underlying inflationary pressures, not least in the services sector. The period was also notable for the decision of the Bank of Japan to end its long-held negative interest rate policy. This led to heightened volatility across Japanese government bonds, particularly when a surprise interest rate hike was announced at th e end of July. Corporate bonds nevertheless made solid total returns, despite the headwind of rich valuations. The market was supported by resilient earnings in a number of sectors and strong demand from investors who were keen to lock in higher yields before interest rates began to f all in earnest. Outlook Global economic output for 2024 looks set to fall short of the 3.0% growth seen last year. As for the US, growth looks likely to cool, reflecting the ongoing impact of higher interest rates and a reduced contribution from government expenditure. Nonetheless, healthy growth in household disposable incomes, improving corporate profitability and increasing investment in areas related to technology and the green transition should ensure the economy continues to expand at a re spectable pace. Given that recessions in major economies were seen as a real concern earlier in the year, this ‘soft’ economic landing has come as a relief to equity markets. Nonetheless, it involves a trade-off as, while growth remains robust, the decline in inflation has stalled in many places. Overall, we see a constructive backdrop for equities, with developed markets likely to perform better than emerging marke ts in our view.
AVIVA INVESTORS MULTI-ASSET CORE FUND I (CONTINUED)
While the main central banks have begun cutting interest rates, the accompanying statements from the policy makers have been cautious, signalling little prospect of a further rapid decline. Given the likelihood the US economy will slow, we see scope for government bond prices to appreciate modestly from here, although concern over high fiscal deficits limits any upside. Rich valuations are a headwind for corporate bonds but falling interest rates will ease the pressure on many heavily indeb ted companies.
