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.

Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust – Risk Considerations:

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.

Consolidated net LTV is 32.3% vs the target leverage range of 25-35%

Source: Schroders as at April 2021. 1 Loan to Value (‘LTV’) is the loan balance divided by the property value as at 31 March 2021. 2 For the quarter preceding the Interest Payment Date (‘IPD’), ((rental income received – void rates, void service charge and void insurance)/interest paid). In addition, there is a forward ICR covenant of for the four quarters following the IPD (rental income to be received void rates, void service charge and void insurance)/interest paid). Arrears over 90 days are excluded from the calculation. 3 Maximum valuation decline is based on the existing security pool. In the event that uncharged assets were added to the security pool, the maximum decline on the Canada Life portfolio prior to a covenant breach would be -42%. 4 Maximum rental decline is based on the existing security pool, and makes the assumption that for rent declines, 25% of rent is incurred as additional non recoverable cost of void space. In the event that uncharged assets were added to the security pool, the maximum decline on the Canada Life portfolio prior to a covenant breach would be -58%. 5 Fixed total interest rate for the loan term. 6 Total interest rate as at 31 March 2021 comprising 3 months LIBOR of 0.09% and the margin of 1.6% at an LTV below 60% and a margin of 1.90% above 60% LTV. Interest rate of 0.64% on unutilised RCF. 7 This covenant drops to 60% after year three of the five-year term. 8 The fully drawn cost of debt is 2.2% per annum.

– The Company has two debt facilities – a £129.6 million long term fixed loan and a £52.5 million revolving credit facility (‘RCF’) –providing operational flexibility.

– The covenants as at 31 March 2021 are included in the finance presentation based on:– Total debt £154.1 million (of which £24.5 million of RCF drawn)– Portfolio value of £438.8 million and cash of £12.2 million

Important information (continued)

Risk considerations of The Real Estate Investment Trust.

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.
