                              SCHRODER SERIES TRUST

                        Supplement dated July 21, 2006 to

             Statement of Additional Information dated May 15, 2006

     With this supplement, the Statement of Additional Information is being
updated in respect to the Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund (formerly, the
Schroder U.S. Core Fixed Income Fund) (the "Fund"). The date of the updated
Statement of Additional Information with respect to the Schroder Total Return
Fixed Income Fund is July 21, 2006.

     The following sentence is added to the "Non-Principal Investments,
Investment Practices and Risks" section under the sub-heading "Loans of
Portfolio Securities":

          While the Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund may loan portfolio
     securities with an aggregate market value of up to one-third of the Fund's
     total assets at any time, entering into securities loans is not a principal
     strategy of the Fund and the risks arising from lending portfolio
     securities are not principal risks of investing in the Fund.

     The following phrase is hereby deleted from the Fund's sixth investment
restriction listed in the "Investment Restrictions" section: "as described
elsewhere in the Prospectus or this SAI from time to time."

     The following sentence is added to the "Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings"
section under the sub-heading "Policies and Procedures":

          In some cases recipients of portfolio holdings information are subject
     to a contractual obligation to keep portfolio holdings information
     confidential, and in other cases they are subject to a contractual
     obligation to keep information disclosed to them by the Fund confidential.
     Recipients of nonpublic portfolio holdings information are also subject to
     legal requirements prohibiting them from trading on material nonpublic
     information.

     The following paragraph is added to the "Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings"
as the penultimate paragraph of this section:

          In general, the Schroder Funds policies and procedures provide that
     disclosure by Schroders of information about the holdings of client
     accounts other than the Fund's account is governed by the policies relating
     to protection of client information pursuant to Regulation S-P. Details
     about the holdings of any portfolio other than the Fund's, however, may
     provide holdings information that is substantially identical to holdings of
     the Fund that have not yet been publicly released. To the extent that
     disclosure of non-Fund portfolios to persons other than those enumerated in
     the Schroders Funds policies and procedures would provide information
     substantially identical to the Fund's portfolio, that disclosure is subject
     to the Schroder Funds policies and procedures. Nothing in the Schroder
     Funds policies and procedures prohibits any investment group from providing
     to a research service provider a coverage list that identifies securities
     that the investment group follows for research purposes provided that: (i)
     the list of securities does not consist exclusively of the current
     portfolio holdings of any Fund; and (ii) no information about actual
     holdings by any account is included.

                                        1



     The following sentence is added to the "Portfolio Managers" section at the
end of the second paragraph under the sub-heading "Material Conflicts of
Interest":

          Orders are normally allocated on a pro rata basis, except that in
     certain circumstances, such as a small size of an issue, orders will be
     allocated among clients in a manner believed by Schroders to be fair and
     equitable over time.

     The first paragraph under the sub-heading "Allocation" in the "Brokerage
Allocation and Other Practices" section is hereby deleted and replaced in its
entirety with the following:

          Schroders may deem the purchase or sale of a security to be in the
     best interest of the Fund as well as other clients of Schroders. In such
     cases, Schroders may, but is under no obligation to, aggregate all such
     transactions in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage
     commissions and efficient execution. Orders are normally allocated on a pro
     rata basis, except that in certain circumstances, such as the small size of
     an issue, orders will be allocated among clients in a manner believed by
     Schroders to be fair and equitable over time.

     The references to the date "January 1, 2009" in the "Taxes" section are
hereby replaced with the date "January 1, 2011."

     The third and fourth paragraphs under the sub-heading "Non-U.S.
Shareholders" in the "Taxes" section are hereby deleted and replaced in their
entirety with the following:

          Under U.S. federal tax law, a beneficial holder of shares who is a
     foreign person is not, in general, subject to U.S. federal income tax on
     gains (and is not allowed a deduction for losses) realized on the sale of
     shares of the Fund or on capital gain dividends unless (i) such gain or
     capital gain dividend is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade
     or business carried on by such holder within the United States, or (ii) in
     the case of an individual holder, the holder is present in the United
     States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the year
     of the sale or capital gain dividend and certain other conditions are met.

     The second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth paragraphs of the "Determination
of Net Asset Value" section are hereby deleted and replaced in their entirety
with the following:

          Securities for which market quotations are readily available are
     valued at those quotations. Securities for which current market quotations
     are not readily available are valued at fair value pursuant to procedures
     established by the Board of Trustees, which are summarized below.

          Equity securities listed or traded on a domestic or foreign stock
     exchange for which last sales information is readily available are valued
     at the last reported sale price on the exchange on that day or, in the
     absence of sales that day, at the mean between the closing bid and ask
     prices (the "mid-market price") or, if none, the last sale price on the
     preceding trading day. (Where the securities are traded on more than one
     exchange, they are valued based on trading on the exchange where the
     security is principally traded.) Securities purchased in an initial public
     offering and that have not commenced trading in a secondary market are
     valued at cost. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily
     available generally are valued at the most recently reported sale prices on
     any day or, in the absence of a reported sale price, at mid-market prices.
     In the case of securities

                                        2



     traded primarily on the National Association of Securities Dealers'
     Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ"), the NASDAQ Official Closing Price
     will, if available, be used to value such securities as such price is
     reported by NASDAQ to market data vendors. If the NASDAQ Official Closing
     Price is not available, such securities will be valued as described above
     for exchange-traded securities.

          Reliable market quotations are not considered to be readily available
     for most long-term bonds. Such securities are valued at fair value,
     generally on the basis of valuations furnished by pricing services, which
     determine valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such
     securities using methods based on market transactions for comparable
     securities and various relationships between securities that are generally
     recognized by institutional traders. Below investment grade debt
     instruments ("high yield debt") and emerging markets debt instruments will
     generally be valued at prices furnished by pricing services based on the
     mean of bid and asked prices supplied by brokers or dealers; although, if
     the bid-asked spread exceeds five points, that security will typically be
     valued at the bid price. Short-term fixed income securities with remaining
     maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, unless
     Schroders believes another valuation is more appropriate.

          Options and futures contracts traded on a securities exchange or board
     of trade shall be valued at the last reported sales price or, in the
     absence of a sale, at the closing mid-market price on the principal
     exchange where they are traded. Options not traded on a securities exchange
     or board of trade for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily
     available shall be valued at the most recently reported mid-market price.

          All other securities and other property are valued at fair value based
     on procedures established by the Board of Trustees.

          All assets and liabilities of the Fund denominated in foreign
     currencies are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of trading of
     the Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) based on the mean between
     the last quoted bid and ask price of such currencies against the U.S.
     dollar.

     The following phrase is deleted from the penultimate paragraph of the
"Determination of Net Asset Value" section: "at the latest practicable time
prior to the close of the Exchange."

     The "Principal Holders of Securities" section is hereby deleted and
replaced in its entirety with the following:

          To the knowledge of the Trust, as of July 19, 2006, no person owned
     beneficially or of record more than 5% of the outstanding voting securities
     of the Fund, except the following:
