Five Key Reasons to Invest in the FP Foresight Global Real Infrastructure Fund

The Fund is actively managed by the award winning Foresight Capital Management team and

invests in the publicly traded shares of companies that own or operate real infrastructure or

renewable energy assets anywhere in the world. The Fund targets an annual return in excess of

CPI+3% over any five year period.

Real InfrastructureThe investment proposition is truly unique, the Fund invests exclusively companies that own or operate real infrastructure anywhere in the world while avoiding traditional cyclical equities that make up the portfolio of many ‘equity infrastructure’ funds.

Low Correlation to EquitiesReal infrastructure asset owning companies typically have low correlation to equity markets due to highly visible and forecastable cashflows driving a steady return throughout the market cycles.

Lower Volatility than Equities and AlternativesThe underlying assets that the Fund’s portfolio companies own are long-term, often government contracted, inflation linked real assets that are typically less volatile than investments in standard equities.

True ESGWe will only invest in a companies that the investment team believes deliver a net social or environmental benefit and meets the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact.

Why Global Real Infrastructure for Diversification and Attractive Risk Adjusted Returns?

Infrastructure asset owning companies around the world are well placed to deliver attractive

returns to investors as they provide essential services that allow the global economy to

function. Further, they are well positioned to benefit from structural changes in both

developed and emerging markets.

Investment Thesis

▪ The global economy is changing. Economies are developing at the fastest pace in history and changes to demographics around the world are driving the

need for more infrastructure than ever before.

▪ The transition to a global green economy is increasingly urgent and the renewable energy industry is seeing unprecedented level of demand and

awareness. Real infrastructure assets benefit from attractive characteristics: inflation linkage, long-dated revenue streams, government and public sector

counterparties, high barriers to entry and stable, predictable demand.

▪ Through global exposure, investors can access a highly diversified pool of infrastructure assets that display these characteristics but are unavailable in UK

listed markets.

▪ Examples of highly attractive global infrastructure assets include large scale hydroelectric and geothermal generation, Government and medical facilities

and diversified renewable energy generation across emerging markets.

FP Foresight Global Real Infra Fund

Investment objective: The fund aims to grow, over any 5 year period, by more than 3% per annum above the rate of UK inflation (as measured by the UKConsumer Prices Index). There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve a positive return over this, or any other, period and youmay not get back the original amount you invested.

Investment policy: The fund will invest directly in the shares of companies (including listed Investment Trusts, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs),ETFs and other investment company structures depending on the relevant jurisdictions) or units of Master Limited Partnershipsthat, in each case, are publicly traded (listed) on stock exchanges in developed markets (meaning North America, Western Europeand Asia Pacific); and that own or operate real infrastructure or renewable energy assets anywhere in the world. Suchcompanies’ revenue streams are typically directly or indirectly supported by long term government or public sector contracts andgovernment supported initiatives.

The companies that the fund invests in will typically own or operate assets in the following infrastructure subsectors: renewableenergy generation (e.g. offshore wind, onshore wind, solar energy, and hydro-electricity), core economic infrastructure (e.g.schools, hospitals and transport) and property with infrastructure characteristics (e.g. social housing and medical facilities).

No more than 50% of the fund by value will be invested in shares that have a primary listing in a single country. The fund may alsoinvest in cash for liquidity and cash flow purposes and to pay fund expenses and redemptions. The fund may invest in certainfinancial contracts (derivatives or forward transactions) for efficient portfolio management (including hedging). The investmentmanager aims to manage the fund in a manner that maintains the fund’s eligibility for ISAs.

Sustainability considerations play an important role in the investment manager’s stock selection process. The fund will onlyinvest in the shares of a company if the investment manager in its discretion considers that the company delivers a net social orenvironmental benefit. In determining whether a company delivers a net social or environmental gain, the investment manager willassess company shares based on the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact for business which cover areas includinghuman rights, labour rights, environmental safeguards and combating bribery and corruption (“Sustainable InvestmentStrategies”). The investment manager will regularly monitor the companies in which the fund invests, against the SustainabilityInvestment Criteria. If it is the investment manager’s opinion that an investee company no longer meets the SustainableInvestment Criteria, the investment manager will not make any further investments in the company and will seek to realise in anorderly fashion, its investment in such a company.

BenchmarkThe fund aims to grow, over any 5 year period, by more than 3% per annum above the rate of UK inflation (as measured by the UKConsumer Prices Index). The UK Consumer Prices Index is therefore a target benchmark against which the performance of the fundhas been set (“Target Benchmark”). The Target Benchmark was chosen by the investment manager because the fund will invest ininvestments that are inflation-linked (infrastructure and renewable energy assets are typically inflation-linked as a result ofbenefitting from government or public sector subsidies, concessions or service provision contracts which are themselves normallyinflation- linked). Investors may use the fund’s performance against the Target Benchmark to assess the risks of investing in thefund.

Infrastructure characteristics

13

Infrastructure are attractive asset classes as they are characterised by stable and predictable

demand, high barriers to entry and long term contracted revenue streams.

Infrastructure Characteristics:

Stable and predictable demand

Infrastructure assets tend to have constant demand because they provide critical services for daily living. This makes them relatively consistent and insensitive to economic and market cycles.

High barriers to entry

Infrastructure assets are typically large physical assets that take substantial time and investment to develop and maintain. The capital-intensive nature of infrastructure assets creates a barrier to entry that results in limited numbers of competitors and sometimes effectively monopolistic conditions.

Long term contracted revenues

A high proportion of infrastructure investments’ revenues come from long term contracts that are often linked to inflation and interest rates rises. The counterparties for these revenue streams are normally government and often revenue streams are protected to some extent by government policy.

Examples

‘Fake’ infrastructure is defined as assets or companies analogous to the infrastructure sector,

providing goods and services for example, but that may not provide investors with the fundamental

characteristics of the underlying project-level cash flows.

▪ ‘Fake’ infrastructure can be defined as assets or companies analogous to the infrastructure sector, providing goods and services for example, but that may not provide investors with the fundamental characteristics of the underlying project-level cash flows.

▪ Does a listed utility company, or a provider of operational and maintenance services to transport infrastructure really count as ‘infrastructure’?

▪ Examples of ‘fake’ infrastructure include Carillion, National Grid and Vodafone.

Risks to Consider

For the full set of risk warnings, please refer to the fund prospectus which can be found on

either the Foresight Group and FundRock Partners website.

15

▪ Currency fluctuations may adversely affect the value of a Fund’s investments and, depending on an investor’s currency of reference, currency fluctuations may adversely affect the value of the investment

▪ Where a Fund has exposure to alternative asset classes there is a risk that the price at which an asset is valued may not be realisable in the event of sale.

▪ This could be due to a mis-estimation of the asset’s value or due to a lack of liquidity in the relevant market.

▪ The investments of the Company are subject to normal market fluctuations and other risks inherent in investing in securities. There can be no assurance that any appreciation in the value of investments will occur. The value of investments and the income derived from them may fall as well as rise and investors may not recoup the original amount they invest in the Company.

▪ There is no certainty that the investment objective of any Fund will actually be achieved and no warranty or representation is given to this effect. Past performance is no guide to the future.

▪ Infrastructure companies may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction programmes, high leverage, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown, surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors.
