Real estate cycle in extra time Growing polarisation across the market Diversification and lower net debt level important SREIT’s portfolio relatively well positioned due to: • Higher income return • Exposure to higher growth locations • Low retail weighting vs. Benchmark • Asset management opportunities • Stable balance sheet Increasing exposure to assets and sectors with strong fundamentals Exposure to Winning Cities experiencing higher levels of GDP, employment and population growth Managing portfolio risk in order to enhance the portfolio’s defensive qualities Increasing net income through transactions and asset management Strategic priorities

  20. Appendix

  21. Key Information Document (KID) Source: Schroders, May 2018. Background SREIT – cost composition As required under the regulations for Packaged Retail and Insurance based Investment Products (PRIIPs), a KID is required to be issued for all investment products which are available to the retail investor from 1 January 2018 The calculation of figures and performance scenarios contained in the KID are prescribed by PRIIPS and have neither been set nor endorsed by the Board PRIIPS is inconsistently applied by market participants and hence creates confusion amongst investors Challenges Lack of consistency of calculation Misleading for investors Creates uneven playing field

  22. Compliance disclosure requirement Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust – discrete yearly performance Past performance is not a guide to future performance and may not be repeated. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amounts originally invested. Source: MSCI December 2018. Performance net of fees. Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust – Risk factors: Investments in real estate are relatively illiquid and more difficult to realise than equities or bonds. Yields may vary and are not guaranteed. The use of gearing is likely to lead to volatility in the Net Asset Value (‘NAV’) meaning that a relatively small movement either down or up in the value of the Company’s total assets will result in a magnified movement in the same direction of that NAV. There is no guarantee that the market price of shares in Investment Companies such as SREIT will fully reflect their underlying NAV. The value of real estate is a matter of a valuer’s opinion rather than fact. The trust may be concentrated in a limited number of geographic regions, industry sectors, markets and/or individual positions. This may result in large changes in the value of the fund, both up or down, which may adversely impact the performance of the funds. The Company may borrow money to invest in further investments, this is known as gearing. Gearing will increase returns if the value of the assets purchased increase in value by more than the cost of borrowing, or reduce returns if they fail to do so
