The Company may, from time to time, use borrowings for investment and efficient portfolio management purposes. Gearing will not exceed 10 per cent. of net asset value, calculated at the time of drawdown of the relevant borrowing.

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 4 out of 7, which is a medium risk class. The Company is in this category because it can take risks in search of higher rewards. 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.com/sbot ## 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 public equity and private equity investments held in the Company's portfolio, consisting predominantly of UK companies. 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 UK stock market. As the Company is listed on the London Stock Exchange, general market movements affecting UK-listed companies may impact the share price performance of the product. General movements in the UK stock market could be a result of political, regulatory, market, economic or social developments at a local, regional and global level. Some of the portfolio's private equity investments may be in a currency other than pound sterling - the currency of the Company's shares. Therefore, movements in sterling-relative exchange rates may have a material impact on the performance of the product. The Company's portfolio is actively managed but does not have a benchmark. The Company's investment objective is to deliver long-term total returns throughout the life of the Company by investing in a diversified public equity and private equity portfolio of predominantly UK Companies. The Company aims to provide a NAV total return of 10 per cent. per annum over the life of the Company. What could affect my return positively? Given the product's focus on UK companies, higher returns may be generated where the UK stock market rises in value. Additionally, the product focuses on investing in companies in the approximately £50 million to £2 billion equity value range. Higher returns may be generated when this area of the market rises in value. However, the private equity investments will likely be less influenced by market movements than the public equity investments in the portfolio. Some of the portfolio's private equity investments may be in a currency other than sterling - the currency of the Company's shares. Therefore, higher returns may be generated under conditions where the currencies of these non-sterling investments appreciate against sterling. Such conditions could therefore lead to an investment gain in the product. What could affect my return negatively? Given the product's focus on UK companies, lower returns may be generated where the UK stock market falls in value. Additionally, the product focuses on investing in companies in the approximately £50 million to £2 billion equity value range. Lower returns may be generated when this area of the market falls in value. However, the private equity investments will likely be less influenced by market movements than the public equity investments in the portfolio. Some of the portfolio's private equity investments may be in a currency other than sterling - the currency of the Company's shares. Therefore, lower returns may be generated under conditions where the currencies of these non-sterling investments depreciate against sterling. Such conditions could therefore lead to an investment loss in the product. The Company has a fixed life and in the event that no alternative proposals are put forward to Shareholders and approved by Shareholders ahead of the winding-up date, a winding-up resolution will be proposed at the winding-up date to voluntarily liquidate the Company. This could mean that certain investments, in particular, private equity investments, may not be able to be realised at an optimal price, or that the realisation of such investments may take longer than anticipated (as it could take several years after the commencement of the winding-up of the Company until all of the Company's private equity investments could be disposed of and any final distribution of proceeds made to Shareholders). These risks would be increased if liquidation took place under severely adverse market conditions. You could lose all your money invested in this product. # What happens if Schroder British Opportunities Trust plc is unable to pay out? You may sell your shares at any time on the London Stock Exchange using your broker. Your shares are sold to another buyer in the market without recourse to the Company.

You would not be entitled to compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. # What are the costs?
