Report of the Authorised Corporate Director

THE COMPANY Aviva Investors Investment Funds ICVC (“the Company”) is an Open-Ended Investment Company (“OEIC”) with variable capital incorporated in England and Wales on 9 September 1998. 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 objective of the Company is to invest the scheme property in transferable securities, money market instruments, units in collective investment schemes, deposits and derivatives and forward transactions in accordance with the 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 and currently has eighteen sub-funds (“Funds”) which are available for investment, 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.
AUTHORISED STATUS From 9 September 1998 the Company has been authorised as an Open-Ended Investment Company under Regulation 7 of the Open-Ended Investment Companies Regulations 1996 (superseded by Regulation 12 of the Open-Ended Investment Companies Regulations 2001) (“Regulations”). The Company is a UCITS Scheme operating under the COLL Sourcebook and is constituted as an “umbrella company” under the Regulations, which means that the Company issues shares in different Funds.
THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS We are pleased to present the interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 15 April 2025. As required by the Regulations, information for each of the Funds has been included in these financial statements. On the following pages we review the performance of each of those Funds during the period. We hope that you find our review useful and informative. We made the strategic decision to merge the Aviva Investors Corporate Bond Fund into the Aviva investors Sterling Corporate Bond Fund on 13 September 2024. We intend to fully terminate the sub-fund Aviva Investors Corporate Bond Fund. As a result, the financial statements of the sub-fund have been prepared on a break-up basis. We made the decision to wind up the Aviva Investors Global Emerging Markets Equity Unconstrained Fund and the Aviva Investors UK Smaller Companies Fund following review of the annual value assessment. The Aviva Investors Global Emerging Markets Equity Unconstrained Fund closed on 6 April 2022 and the Aviva Investors UK Smaller Companies Fund on 10 May 2024. The sub funds have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. The financial statements of the remaining sub-funds of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGS The Company will not be holding Annual General Meetings.
SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION
CLOSURE OF AVIVA INVESTORS GLOBAL EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY UNCONSTRAINED FUND On 4 April 2022, Aviva Investors UK Fund Services Limited, the authorised fund manager of the Scheme (the“ACD”), commenced the termination of the following sub-fund of the Scheme: the Aviva Investors Global Equity Unconstrained Fund. Following receipt of final termination accounts for each (1) AI Sustainable Income & Growth Fund and (2) AI Global Equity Unconstrained Fund, the Prospectus and instrument were updated to remove references to these now terminated sub-funds.
CLOSURE OF AVIVA INVESTORS CORPORATE BOND FUND On 16 September 2024, Aviva Investors UK Fund Services Limited, the authorised fund manager of the Scheme, commenced the termination of the Aviva Investors Corporate Bond Fund, pursuant to a scheme of arrangement whereby the property of that sub-fund became the property of the Aviva Investors Sterling Corporate Bond Fund, a sub-fund of the Aviva Investors Investment Funds ICVC.

Manager’s Market Review
4
EQUITY MARKET REVIEW Global shares suffered weak performance overall as economic and geopolitical uncertainties intensified. Fading momentum in the US market was a key theme as shares came under increased selling pressure. While the market began 2025 strongly on optimism about the pro-growth policies of the new Trump administration, concerns started to grow about the proposed implementation of heavy tariffs on key trading partners in a bid to rebalance world trade and protect US manufacturing. In the event, the announcement of sweeping tariffs at the start of April saw markets both domestically and internationally sell off sharply amid a collapse in investor confidence and concerns about the potential for a global recession. The period also saw an important development in the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution that had been a key market theme in 2024. The release in China of a more powerful AI platform named DeepSeek threatened the leadership of the US in the field and rattled sentiment towards information technology companies across the world and notably in Asia. In common with other global stock markets, UK shares faced considerable economic and geopolitical uncertainties. For much of the period the UK market traded well, even reaching new highs in early 2025 as hopes grew that the Bank of England would press on with interest rate reductions and defence companies rallied on expectations of increased government spending across Europe. However, the announcement of aggressive tariffs by the new Trump administration at the start of April saw many of these gains erased as investors anticipated major disruption to global trade and even recession across the developed economies. The strongest returns were posted by larger companies thanks to their international exposure. Concerns about the deteriorating performance of the UK economy following the corporate tax-hiking autumn budget weighed on the performance of smaller and medium-sized companies because of their greater domestic focus.
FIXED INCOME – CORPORATE AND HIGH-YIELD BONDS The six-month review period saw broadly flat returns for global fixed income markets. However, this masked elevated volatility against what was a rapidly developing macro-economic and geopolitical backdrop. Sovereign bonds were once again in thrall of central bank moves in interest rates. A notable theme was the shift to a more cautious stance by the US Federal Reserve amid concerns about rising inflation, at least in the early part of the period. Revised expectations that US interest rates could be higher for longer pushed bond markets onto the back foot around the turn of the year. Elsewhere, however, central banks were more prepared to use the opportunity of falling inflation to cut rates in support of ailing economies. This was particularly the case in Europe, where the faltering German economy was threatening to pull the remainder of the single currency bloc into recession. The main outlier was Japan, where the central bank raised interest rates in the face of rising inflationary pressures and a desire to normalise monetary policy after years of negative borrowing costs. By the end of the period, the focus had switched to anticipating the end of the rate cutting cycle. However, the huge economic uncertainty unleased by President Trump’s tariffs led some observers to speculate that rates may have further to fall than expected earlier in the year. The prospect of significantly higher bond issuance in Europe to pay for defence and infrastructure was a further complicating factor. Corporate bond returns were muted but relatively resilient to the challenging backdrop. Corporate debt was supported by steady corporate earnings, which benefited from the resilience of economies and the avoidance of deep downturns. Technical factors were also generally favourable as strong demand from institutional investors, who were keen to lock in higher interest rates while they were still available, absorbed plentiful new issuance.

Aviva Investors UK Index Tracking Fund
6
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Fund aims to track the performance of the FTSE® All-Share Index (before charges and taxes). Any returns will be a combination of capital growth and income.
INVESTMENT POLICY Core investment The Fund will invest directly into shares of companies that make up the FTSE® All-Share Index (the “Index”). Other investments The Fund may also invest in other funds (including funds managed by Aviva Investors companies), cash and deposits. Derivatives, such as futures, may be used from time to time to gain a particular market exposure which would otherwise be difficult or costly to achieve, or to manage the Fund’s cash flows in a cost-effective manner, this type of derivative usage is called “efficient portfolio management”. Strategy The Fund will aim to replicate the Index by investing in all the companies that make up the Index, and in the same proportions, with the aim of providing full exposure to the companies within the Index. This Fund is subject to Aviva Investors’ baseline exclusion policy, please see Prospectus for information on these limited investment restrictions. Performance & Risk Measurement The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index over any given 12-month period, because the Fund intends to replicate the performance of the Index. The Fund may not hold every company in the Index, and may have some investments in non-benchmark holdings. The Fund uses a “tracking error” to measure the consistency between the Fund’s returns and the returns of the Index. In general, the lower the tracking error, the more consistent the Fund’s returns are relative to the Index, and vice-versa. The Fund has a yearly tracking error target of 0% (excluding charges). In normal market conditions the anticipated level of tracking error will be within 0.20% (excluding charges) of the Index. Factors which are likely to affect the ability of the Fund to track the performance of the Index might include transaction costs (from Index and Fund turnover and dividend reinvestment), portfolio weightings not being exactly the same as the Index, residual cash holdings, or other related factors such as efficient portfolio management, illiquid components, and any trading restrictions that may be in place. The Index represents the performance of all eligible companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, and 98% of the UK’s market capitalisation (total market value of a company’s outstanding shares).
FUND MANAGER’S REPORT Performance Over the six months ended 15 April 2025, the Aviva Investors UK Index Tracking Fund delivered a total return of 0.4% (share class 1), net of fees. The Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE® All-Share Index, returned 0.7%. The Fund is passively managed, meaning Fund returns are not expected to vary meaningfully from those of the benchmark. The tracking error at the period end was 0.01%. Review In common with other global stock markets, UK shares faced considerable economic and geopolitical uncertainties. For much of the period the UK market traded well, even reaching new highs in early 2025 as hopes grew that the Bank of England would press on with interest rate reductions and defence companies rallied on expectations of increased government spending across Europe. However, the announcement of aggressive tariffs by the new Trump administration at the start of April saw many of these gains erased as investors anticipated major disruption to global trade and even recession across the developed economies. The strongest returns were posted by larger companies thanks to their international exposure. Concerns about the deteriorating performance of the UK economy following the corporate tax-hiking autumn budget weighed on the performance of smaller and medium-sized companies because of their greater domestic focus. At the sector level, the strongest returns were posted by energy, real estate and financial companies. The weakest areas of the market were basic industries (notably miners), consumer discretionary companies and utilities. Outlook The UK economy appears to be stagnating, and it is difficult to see a significant acceleration in economic growth currently, given the uncertain backdrop both in the UK and overseas. While the recent downturn in inflation is encouraging, there are concerns that if Trump’s tariffs remain in place, then inflation may head higher again. In addition, there is increasing evidence that last October’s Budget is proving to be a material headwind for growth in the short-to-medium term, given the huge scale of the tax rises and extra borrowing that were announced in late October. These taxes came into force in early April. Added to that, the UK now faces trade tariffs on its exports to the US, and geopolitical issues remain a significant risk to all equity markets. While there seem to be few evident catalysts to push the market much higher from current levels, UK equities nevertheless continue to offer value and trade at relatively cheap levels compared with history and other global markets.

Aviva Investors UK Listed Equity Income Fund
26
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Fund aims to deliver an income return of 110% of the income return of the FTSE® All-Share Index (the “Index”), annualised over 3-year rolling periods, whilst also aiming to grow your investment and provide an average annual net return greater than the Index over rolling 5-year periods by investing in shares of UK companies.
INVESTMENT POLICY Core investment At least 80% of the Fund will be invested in shares of UK companies (incorporated or domiciled in the UK), or non UK companies which are listed in the UK or which have significant trading activities in the UK. Other investments The Fund may also invest in other shares, other funds (including funds managed by Aviva Investors companies), cash and deposits. Strategy The Fund is actively managed, and the Investment Manager will adopt a high conviction approach (a strong belief), with a particular focus on “cash compounding” companies. These are typically mature companies which benefit from high barriers to entry given their competitive position in their industry, which we believe will offer good to high returns, and generate stable cash flows which will either be returned to investors as income or re-invested into the company to generate future dividends. The Investment Manager is also likely to invest in companies with a focus on the potential future cash flow growth they will generate, and their perceived ability to steadily grow their dividends, while showing what we believe to be financial strength and/or low levels of debt, with a strong management capability. In addition, the Investment Manager is likely to identify companies which are out of favour at a particular point in time, but where there is a specific opportunity for the company to increase their future cash flows, and therefore potentially increase their dividends in the future. Performance & Risk Measurement The Fund’s income return target is measured against the Index, before the deduction of charges and taxes, annualised on a rolling three year basis. The Fund’s overall performance is also measured against the Index, after charges and taxes, annualised on a rolling five year basis. The Fund does not base its investment process upon the Index, so will not hold every company in the Index and may also hold companies that do not form part of it. The Fund uses a “tracking error” to measure the consistency of the Fund’s returns and the returns of the Index. In general, the lower the tracking error, the more consistent the Fund’s returns are relative to the Index, and vice-versa. The Fund is expected to have an average yearly tracking error of between 2% and 6% when compared to the Index. In certain conditions the Fund may be outside of this range. The Index represents the performance of all eligible companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, and 98% of the UK’s market capitalisation (total market value of a company’s outstanding shares). The Index has been selected as a benchmark for the income target and for performance and risk measurement because it is representative of the type of companies in which the Fund is likely to invest, and it is therefore an appropriate target in relation to the income return and as a measure for the Fund’s overall performance.
In addition to the Index, the Fund’s financial performance can be compared against the average performance of the Investment Association UK Equity Income sector (the “Performance Sector”). The Performance Sector has been chosen as an appropriate comparator for the Fund’s performance because it reflects the aggregate performance and characteristics of other funds with similar objectives and constraints, however the Fund is not constrained by, or managed by reference to, the Performance Sector. Investors should be aware that the actual asset allocation of the Fund will be in line with its investment objective and policy. Many funds sold in the UK are grouped into sectors by the Investment Association (the trade body that represents UK investment managers), to help investors to compare funds with broadly similar characteristics. Some independent data providers collect performance data to calculate average performance data for the Performance Sector, which investors can use to assess the Fund’s performance.
FUND MANAGER’S REPORT Performance Over the six months ended 15 April 2025, the Aviva Investors UK Listed Equity Income Fund delivered a total return of -0.5% (share class 1), net of fees. The Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE® All-Share Index, returned 0.7% over the same period. The tracking error at the period end was 2.74%. Review The Fund’s underperformance of its benchmark was largely a consequence of disappointing stock selection, most notably within financials and consumer discretionary companies. Among the main detractors was renewable energy infrastructure fund Greencoat UK Wind, whose share price weakened as the company’s management lowered its energy-yield estimates. This led to a reduction in its net asset value. Another disappointment was reinsurer Conduit Holdings. Despite posting growth in both premiums and revenue, the company cautioned about the impact on its balance sheet of natural disasters such as Hurricane Milton. On the positive side, not owning mining giant Glencore was helpful given ongoing negative sentiment towards the commodities extraction sector in general. Defence was a positive theme in the UK market as European governments pledged to increase spending on armaments on concerns about America’s waning commitment to NATO. While not holding aero-engine maker Rolls-Royce weighed on performance, the holding in Babcock International added value. Other winners included Lloyds Banking Group following the announcement of an increase in the dividend and a share buyback, and Sage Group, which reported a jump in full-year profits and also raised its dividend and announced a share buyback. Sector allocation had a mixed impact on performance. While being underweight basic materials companies such as miners was helpful, this was offset by being underweight in financials and energy.

FUND MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED) Outlook The UK economy appears to be stagnating, and it is difficult to see a significant acceleration in economic growth currently, given the uncertain backdrop both in the UK and overseas. While the recent downturn in inflation is encouraging, there are concerns that if Trump’s tariffs remain in place, then inflation may head higher again. This could prevent the Bank of England from committing to further rate cuts, despite having cut in early May. In addition, there is increasing evidence that last October’s Budget is proving to be a material headwind for growth in the short-to-medium term, given the huge scale of the tax rises and extra borrowing that were announced in late October. These taxes came into force in early April. Added to that, the UK now faces trade tariffs on its exports to the US. While there seem to be few evident catalysts to push the market much higher from current levels, UK equities nevertheless continue to offer value and trade at relatively cheap levels compared with history and other global markets. In these volatile and challenging times, we believe it is particularly important to maintain a resilient and well-diversified portfolio. We look through market noise for a consistent, incomegenerative return for investors. The Fund, which is more midcap-orientated than its peers, offers the opportunity for income generation, as well as growth in both income and capital, across the whole spectrum of market capitalisations.

Aviva Investors UK Listed Equity Unconstrained Fund

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Fund aims to grow your investment and provide an average annual net return greater than the FTSE® All-Share Index (the “Index”) over a rolling 5 year period by investing in shares of UK companies.
INVESTMENT POLICY Core investment At least 80% of the Fund will be invested in shares of UK companies (incorporated or domiciled in the UK), or non-UK companies which are listed in the UK or which have significant trading activities in the UK. Other investments The Fund may also invest in other shares, other funds (including funds managed by Aviva Investors companies), cash and deposits. Strategy The Fund is actively managed with an unconstrained investment style, allowing the Investment Manager the freedom to invest in selected companies of any size, and at any stage of the business cycle. This will include investing in market leading and mature companies with the potential for superior earnings growth and sustainable dividends respectively, as well as identifying companies which are out of favour at a particular point in time, but where there is a specific opportunity for the company’s value to increase in the future. This Fund is subject to Aviva Investors’ baseline exclusion policy, please see Prospectus for information on these limited investment restrictions. Performance & Risk Measurement The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index, after charges and taxes. The Fund’s investment process is not constrained by the Index, so it will not hold every company in the Index and may also hold companies that do not form part of it. The Fund uses a “tracking error” to measure the consistency between the Fund’s returns and the returns of the Index. In general, the lower the tracking error, the more consistent the Fund’s returns are relative to the Index, and vice-versa. The Fund is expected to have an average yearly tracking error of between 3% and 8% when compared to the Index. However, as the Fund is unconstrained by the range, it could operate outside of it and the Investment Manager has discretion on how best to position the Fund in seeking to achieve its outcome. Therefore the Fund’s returns could be very similar to or very different from the Index. The Index represents the performance of all eligible companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, and 98% of the UK’s market capitalisation (total market value of a company’s outstanding shares). The Index has been selected as a benchmark for performance and risk measurement because it is representative of the type of companies in which the Fund is likely to invest, and it is therefore an appropriate measure for the Fund’s performance.
In addition to the Index, the Fund’s financial performance can be compared against the average performance of the Investment Association UK All Companies sector (the “Performance Sector”). The Performance Sector has been chosen as an appropriate comparator for the Fund’s performance because it reflects the aggregate performance and characteristics of other funds with similar objectives and constraints, however the Fund is not constrained by, or managed by reference to, the Performance Sector. Investors should be aware that the actual asset allocation of the Fund will be in line with its investment objective and policy. Many funds sold in the UK are grouped into sectors by the Investment Association (the trade body that represents UK investment managers), to help investors to compare funds with broadly similar characteristics. Some independent data providers collect performance data to calculate average performance data for the Performance Sector, which investors can use to assess the Fund’s performance.
FUND MANAGER’S REPORT Performance Over the six months ended 15 April 2025, the Aviva Investors UK Listed Equity Unconstrained Fund delivered a total return of -3.0% (share class 1), net of fees. The Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE® All-Share Index, returned 0.7% over the same period. The tracking error at the period end was 5.21%. Review The Fund’s underperformance of its benchmark was a consequence of disappointing stock selection and, to a lesser degree, sector allocation. Among the main detractors was discount store chain B&M European Value Retail, which issued a profit warning stemming from challenging trading conditions. Promotional product maker 4imprint Group weighed on performance as its share price slid on worries about slower customer acquisition and falling orders. Ashstead Group was weak after the company revealed that it was planning to move its primary stock market listing from London to New York. Having no exposure to rallying bank HSBC was also a headwind to returns. On the positive side, not owning mining giant Glencore was helpful given ongoing negative sentiment towards the commodities extraction sector in general. Holding no exposure to pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca was also beneficial. Defence was a positive theme in the UK market as European governments pledged to increase spending on armaments on concerns about America’s waning commitment to NATO. While not holding aeroengine maker Rolls-Royce weighed on performance, the holding in BAE Systems added value. Other winners included Sage Group, which reported a jump in full-year profits and raised its dividend and announced a share buyback, and Games Workshop, which gave an upbeat account of recent trading and guidance for strong growth in pre-tax profits. Sector allocation had a negative impact of performance overall. While being overweight technology was helpful, this was offset by being underweight in financials and consumer discretionary companies.

FUND MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED) Outlook The UK economy appears to be stagnating, and it is difficult to see a significant acceleration in economic growth currently, given the uncertain backdrop both in the UK and overseas. While the recent downturn in inflation is encouraging, there are concerns that if Trump’s tariffs remain in place, then inflation may head higher again. This could prevent the Bank of England from committing to further rate cuts, despite having cut in early May. In addition, there is increasing evidence that last October’s Budget is proving to be a material headwind for growth in the short-to-medium term, given the huge scale of the tax rises and extra borrowing that were announced in late October. These taxes came into force in early April. Added to that, the UK now faces trade tariffs on its exports to the US, and geopolitical issues remain a significant risk to all equity markets. While there seem to be few evident catalysts to push the market much higher from current levels, UK equities nevertheless continue to offer value and trade at relatively cheap levels compared with history and other global markets. Regarding our investment approach, we aim to manage the Fund in an unconstrained way and avoid being restricted by the composition of the benchmark index. This means we can build significant overweight positions in our best ideas, across all sectors. We look through the short-term market noise and invest based on long-term company fundamentals, with a focus on cash generation.

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. 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.

Aviva Investors UK Listed Small and Mid-Cap Fund

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Fund aims to grow your investment and provide an average annual net return greater than the FTSE® 250 ex Investment Trust Index (the “Index”) over a rolling 5 year period by investing in shares of small and medium sized UK companies.
INVESTMENT POLICY Core investment At least 80% of the Fund will be invested in shares of small and medium-sized UK companies (incorporated or domiciled in the UK), or non-UK small and medium-sized companies which are listed in the UK or which have significant trading activities in the UK. Other investments The Fund may also invest in other shares, other funds (including funds managed by Aviva Investors companies), cash and deposits. Strategy The Fund is actively managed, and the Investment Manager will invest in small and medium sized companies that are deemed to be undervalued by the market, irrespective of style implications. This approach concentrates on companies that are considered to have growth, quality or recovery characteristics. Growth can come from being in a growing sector, gaining market share, or as a result of industry consolidation. Quality can be defined as companies with market leading products or services, with the potential for stable profits and strong cash generation. A company’s potential for recovery could be as a result of management change, or a change in strategic direction. This Fund is subject to Aviva Investors’ baseline exclusion policy please see Appendix 2 of the Prospectus for information on these limited investment restrictions. Performance & Risk Measurement The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index, after charges and taxes. The Fund does not base its investment process upon the Index, so will not hold every company in the Index and may also hold companies that do not form part of it. This may include investing up to 20% of the Fund in companies listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) All-Share Index, whilst no more than 20% of the Fund can be invested in companies listed on the FTSE 100 Index. The Fund uses a “tracking error” to measure the consistency between the Fund’s returns and the returns of the Index. In general, the lower the tracking error, the more consistent the Fund’s returns are relative to the Index, and vice-versa. The Fund is expected to have an average yearly tracking error of between 3% and 8% when compared to the Index. In certain conditions the Fund may be outside of this range. The Index is currently comprised of approximately 200 medium sized UK companies, as determined by their market capitalisation (total market value of a company’s outstanding shares). The companies included on this Index have a market capitalisation between approximately £200 million and £5.5 billion. We define small and medium-sized as having a market capitalisation below £5.5 billion and this includes those listed on the FTSE® 250 Index, the FTSE® Small Cap Index and the AIM All-Share Index. The Index has been selected as a benchmark for performance and risk measurement because it is representative of the type of companies in which the Fund is likely to invest, and it is therefore an appropriate measure for the Fund’s performance.
In addition to the Index, the Fund’s financial performance can be compared against the average performance of the Investment Association UK All Companies sector (the “Performance Sector”). The Performance Sector has been chosen as an appropriate comparator for the Fund’s performance because it reflects the aggregate performance and characteristics of other funds with similar objectives and constraints, however the Fund is not constrained by, or managed by reference to, the Performance Sector. Investors should be aware that the actual asset allocation of the Fund will be in line with its investment objective and policy. Many funds sold in the UK are grouped into sectors by the Investment Association (the trade body that represents UK investment managers), to help investors to compare funds with broadly similar characteristics. Some independent data providers collect performance data to calculate average performance data for the Performance Sector, which investors can use to assess the Fund’s performance.
FUND MANAGER’S REPORT Performance Over the six months ended 15 April 2025, the Aviva Investors UK Listed Small and Mid-Cap Fund delivered a total return of -12.2% (share class 1) net of fees. The Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE® 250 ex Investment Trust (the “Index”), returned -7.4% over the same period. The tracking error at the period end was 3.99%. Review The Fund produced a negative return over the period and underperformed its benchmark index. This was largely due to weak stock selection, which was notably disappointing in the consumer discretionary and technology sectors. Smaller and medium-sized companies underperformed their larger counterparts as they were viewed as being more sensitive to the weakening outlook for the UK economy. In terms of individual holdings, shares in Safestore were notably weak as the company released underwhelming third-quarter earnings results showing sales and occupancy levels for the firm’s self-storage business deteriorating mildly, and a cautious outlook from management. A recovery in earnings in the fourth quarter did little to stabilise the share price. Shares in WH Smith fell sharply towards the end of the period as its management announced the sale of the retailer’s high street operations. Its exposure to the North American market also negatively impacted investor sentiment towards the company. The lack of exposure to both Direct Line, which was acquired by Aviva in a £3.7 billion deal, and Babcock International, which rallied strongly amid significant commitments by European governments to increase defence spending, also weighed on performance. On the positive side, miniature warrior and games maker Games Workshop made a good contribution to performance after it revealed record earnings in its interim results and raised its guidance. Construction firm Morgan Sindall also performed well after it significantly raised its full-year earnings forecast in October.
