Risk indicator Lower risk Higher risk The risk indicator assumes you keep the product for 5 years. The risk is considered to be higher if the holding period is shorter. You may not be able to sell your product easily or you may have to sell at a price that significantly impacts on how much you get back. The summary risk indicator is a guide to the level of risk of this product compared to other products. It shows how likely it is that the product will lose money because of movements in the markets or because we are not able to pay you. We have classified this product as 6 out of 7, which is the second-highest risk class. The Company is in this category because it can take higher risks in search of higher rewards. This category rates the potential losses from future performance at a "medium" level, and poor market conditions will likely cause shareholders to lose money. The following factors serve to increase risk and may lead to higher volatility in the Company's share price: it invests solely in the securities of one country; it invests in a relatively concentrated portfolio; it invests in smaller companies which may be less liquid than larger companies; it may use derivatives for specific investment purposes; and it may borrow (or "gear") to purchase assets. Liquidity risk: In difficult market conditions, the fund may not be able to sell a security for full value or at all. This could affect performance and could cause the fund to defer or suspend redemptions of its shares. You can find more information about the other risks in the prospectus at: www.schroders.co.uk/ukmidcap ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Page 2 of 3 Investment performance information Future returns on your investment will be determined by the performance of the shares held in the Company's portfolio. Such performance may be positive or negative, depending on a number of factors such as profitability, management and financial health of the underlying companies and general movements in the stock markets, principally the mid cap sector of the UK stock market. Given the Company is listed on the London Stock Exchange, general market movements affecting UK listed companies may also impact performance of the product. General movements in the stock markets could be a result of political, regulatory, market, economic or social developments at a local, regional and global level. The most relevant benchmark for measuring the products performance is its referenced benchmark, the FTSE 250 ex Investment Trust Index measured in sterling. This benchmark has been selected because its underlying stock components are representative of the type of companies in which the Company is likely to invest. However, the Company may invest in other shares that are not part of the benchmark. As a result, the performance and volatility of the Company's shares may vary from that of the benchmark. What could affect my return positively? Higher returns may be generated where the mid cap sector of the UK stock market generally rises in value and/or UK mid cap focused shares in particular increase in value. Such conditions could therefore lead to an investment gain in the product. What could affect my return negatively? Lower returns may be generated where the mid cap sector of the UK stock market generally falls in value and/or UK mid cap focused shares in particular decrease in value. Such conditions could therefore lead to an investment loss in the product. The product does not have a maturity date. In difficult market conditions, investors may receive less than the amount they invested on a sale of the product. Under severe market conditions, for example a significant fall in the value of the mid cap sector of the UK stock market, investors may receive considerably less than the amount they invested on a sale of the product and, in an extreme situation, may lose all of their money invested in the product. # What happens if Schroder UK Mid Cap Fund plc is unable to pay out?
