Other Trustee and Nominee Information

Based on the information furnished by each Trustee as of September 1, 2006, neither any Disinterested Trustee nor any immediate family member of any Disinterested Trustee owned any securities of the adviser of the Trusts, or any of its affiliates, as of such date.

Each Board of Trustees held four meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005. Each current Trustee of each Trust attended at least seventy-five percent of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Trustees and each current Trustee of each Trust attended at least seventy-five percent of the aggregate number of meetings of any Committee of which he or she was a member. Trustees may but are not required to attend shareholder meetings.

Each Board of Trustees has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which is responsible for reviewing financial and accounting matters. Each Board of Trustees has an Audit

7




Committee composed of all of the Trustees that are not ‘‘interested persons’’ (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the applicable Trust (the ‘‘Disinterested Trustees’’) (Messrs. Dinkins, Guernsey, Howell, Knight, Means, Michalis, Schwab and Vaughn for Schroder Series Trust and Messrs. Howell, Knight, Michalis, and Vaughn for Schroder Global Series Trust). The Audit Committees provide oversight with respect to the internal and external accounting and auditing procedures of the Trusts and, among other things, consider the selection of an independent registered public accounting firm for each Trust (‘‘independent accountants’’), determine the scope of the audits, approve all audit and permitted non-audit services proposed to be performed by those independent accountants on behalf of the Trusts, and consider other services provided by those independent accountants to the Trusts, Schroders and its affiliates, and the possible effect of those services on the independence of those independent accountants. Each Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005.

Each Board of Trustees has a Nominating Committee, which is responsible for recommending individuals to the Board of each Trust for nomination as members of such Board. Each Nominating Committee identifies individuals qualified to serve as Trustees, recommends individuals to be appointed to the applicable Trust's Board or to be proposed as nominees for election by shareholders, and sets standards or qualifications for service on the Boards of Trustees. The Nominating Committees consider a wide variety of factors in evaluating Trustee candidates, including but not limited to, the individual's availability and commitment to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities, relevant industry and related experience, educational background, financial expertise, an assessment of his or her ability, judgment and expertise, and the overall diversity of the Board's composition. All of the Disinterested Trustees (Messrs. Dinkins, Guernsey, Howell, Knight, Means, Michalis, Schwab and Vaughn for Schroder Series Trust and Messrs. Howell, Knight, Michalis and Vaughn for Schroder Global Series Trust) serve on the applicable Trust’s Nominating Committee. Each Nominating Committee will consider nominees properly submitted by shareholders on the same basis as it considers candidates recommended by other sources. Nominee recommendations may be submitted by shareholders to the Clerk of each Trust at the Trust’s principal business address. Shareholder recommendations must be delivered to or mailed and received not less than 45 days nor more than 75 days prior to the Board meeting at which the nominee would be elected. Neither Nominating Committee met during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005. The Nominating Committees of each Trust met on September 12, 2006 and voted to recommend Ms. Mazza and Messrs. Means and Vaughn for Trustee of Schroder Series Trust and Messrs. Guernsey, Means and Vaughn and Ms. Mazza for Trustee of Schroder Global Series Trust. Additional information regarding Nominating Committee procedures is available in the Nominating Committee's Charter attached as Exhibit A.

The Trusts have retained the proxy communications and solicitation advisory firm of D.F. King, 48 Wall Street, 22nd Floor, New York, NY 10005, to aid in the solicitation of proxies. To make voting faster and more convenient for you, the Trusts are offering the option of voting on the internet or by telephone instead of completing and mailing the enclosed applicable proxy card(s). Either method is generally available 24 hours a day, and your vote will be confirmed and posted immediately. If you choose to vote via the internet or by phone, do not mail the proxy card.

Ways To Vote:

•    To vote on the internet

1. Read this proxy statement.

2. Go to website specified on your proxy card.

3. Enter the control number on your proxy card.

4. Follow the instructions on the site.

•    To vote by touch-tone telephone

1. Read this proxy statement.

2. Call the toll-free number specified on your proxy card.

3. Enter the control number on your proxy card.

4. Follow the recorded instructions.

•    To vote by mail

1. Read this proxy statement.

2. Check the appropriate boxes on the proxy card.

3. Sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card.

4. Return the proxy card in the envelope provided.

In addition to voting by the internet, touch-tone telephone or mail, you may give your voting instructions over the telephone by calling 1-800-848-3402. A representative of D.F. King will answer your call. When receiving your instructions by telephone, the D.F. King representative is required to ask you for your full name, address, a portion of your social security or employer identification number, title (if the person giving the proxy is authorized to act for an entity, such as a corporation), and to confirm that you have received this proxy statement in the mail. If the information you provide matches the information provided to D.F. King by Schroders, then the D.F. King representative will explain the process. D.F. King is not permitted to recommend to you how to vote, other than to read any recommendations included in this proxy statement. D.F. King will record your instructions and send you a letter or mailgram to confirm your vote. That letter will also ask you to call D.F. King immediately if the confirmation does not reflect your instructions correctly. You may receive a call from a representative of D.F. King if Schroders has not yet received your vote. D.F. King will record all instructions it receives from shareholders by telephone, and the proxies it signs in accordance with those instructions, in accordance with the procedures set forth above. The Trusts believe that those procedures are reasonably designed to determine accurately the shareholder’s identity and voting instructions. You may also choose to attend the Meeting and vote your proxies in person.

However you choose to vote, it is important that you vote to save the expense of additional solicitations. The costs of retaining D.F. King and other expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Funds. The anticipated cost associated with the solicitation of proxies by D.F. King for the Proposals is approximately $5,000.

Adjournment

In the event that sufficient votes in favor of the Proposals set forth in the accompanying Notice are not received by the time scheduled for the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting for a reasonable time after the date set for the original Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposal. In addition, if, in the judgment of the persons named as proxies, subsequent developments make it advisable to defer action

22




on the proposals, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting for a reasonable time in order to defer action on the proposals as they deem advisable. Thirty percent of the shares entitled to vote on a particular matter shall be a quorum for the transaction of business on that matter at a shareholders’ meeting; any lesser number shall be sufficient for adjournments, as required by Schroder Series Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Schroder Global Series Trust's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the ‘‘Declarations of Trust’’) and each Trust's Bylaws. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment all shares which those persons are entitled to vote in favor of any nominee. They will vote against any such adjournment all shares represented by proxies that vote against the applicable proposal. The persons named as proxies will abstain from voting on adjournment all shares represented by proxies which have withheld authority from voting on the applicable proposal.

Tabulation of Votes

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be counted by one or more persons appointed by the President of the applicable Trust to act as tellers for the Meeting. The tellers will count the total number of votes cast ‘‘FOR’’ the proposal for purposes of determining whether sufficient affirmative votes have been cast. The tellers will count shares represented by proxies that withhold authority to vote or that reflect ‘‘broker non-votes’’ (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have the discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as shares that are present and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of Trustees or votes on adjournment.

Date for Receipt of Shareholders’ Proposals for Subsequent Meetings of Shareholders

The Trusts' Declarations of Trust do not provide for annual meetings of shareholders, and each Trust does not currently intend to hold such a meeting in 2006. Shareholder proposals for inclusion in the Trusts’ proxy statement for any subsequent meeting must be received by the applicable Trust a reasonable period of time prior to any such meeting.

Schroder Series Trust and Schroder Global Series Trust
Nominating Committee Charter

SCHRODER CAPITAL FUNDS (DELAWARE)
SCHRODER SERIES TRUST
SCHRODER GLOBAL SERIES TRUST

Nominating Committee Charter

(Adopted as of May 11, 2004)

The Board of Trustees (each, a ‘‘Board’’) of each of Schroder Capital Funds (Delaware), Schroder Series Trust and Schroder Global Series Trust (each, a ‘‘Trust’’) has adopted this Charter to govern the activities of the Nominating Committee (the ‘‘Committee’’) of each Board.

Statement of Purposes and Responsibilities

The primary purposes and responsibilities of the Committee are (i) to identify individuals qualified to become a Trustee in the event that a position is vacated or created, and to recommend Trustee appointments to the Board, (ii) to select, or to recommend that the Board select, the Trustee nominees for election at a meeting of shareholders, and (iii) to set any necessary standards or qualifications for service on the Board.

Organization and Governance

The Committee shall be comprised of as many Trustees as the Board shall determine, but in any event not less than two (2) Trustees. The Committee must consist entirely of Trustees who are not ‘‘interested persons’’ of the Trust (‘‘Independent Trustees’’), as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Board may remove or replace any member of the Committee at any time in its sole discretion.

One or more members of the Committee may be designated by the Board as the Committee's chairman or co-chairman, as the case may be.

The Committee will not have regularly scheduled meetings. Committee meetings shall be held as and when the Committee or the Board determines necessary or appropriate in accordance with the Trust's Bylaws.

Qualifications for Trustee Nominees

The Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors in considering Trustee candidates, including (but not limited to): (i) availability and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities on the Board, (ii) relevant industry and related experience, (iii) educational background, (iv) financial expertise, (v) an assessment of the candidate's ability, judgment and expertise and (v) overall diversity of the Board's composition.

Identification of Nominees

In identifying potential nominees for the Board, the Committee may consider candidates recommended by one or more of the following sources: (i) the Trust's current Trustees, (ii) the Trust's officers, (ii) the Trust's investment adviser or any subadviser, (iv) the Trust's shareholders (see below) and (v) any other source the Committee deems to be appropriate. The Committee may, but is not required to, retain a third party search firm at the Trust's expense to identify potential candidates.

Consideration of Candidates Recommended By Shareholders

The Committee will consider and evaluate nominee candidates properly submitted by shareholders on the same basis as it considers and evaluates candidates recommended by other sources. Appendix A to this Charter, as it may be amended from time to time by the Committee, sets forth procedures that must be followed by shareholders to properly submit a nominee candidate to the Committee. Recommendations not properly submitted in accordance with Appendix A will not be considered by the Committee.

25




Appendix A

Procedures for Shareholders to Submit Nominee Candidates

(As of May 11, 2004)

A shareholder of any series of a Trust must follow the following procedures in order to properly submit a nominee recommendation for the Committee's consideration.

1.  The shareholder must submit any such recommendation (a ‘‘Shareholder Recommendation’’) in writing to the Trust, to the attention of the Trust's Secretary/Clerk, at the address of the principal executive offices of the Trust.
2.  The Shareholder Recommendation must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Fund not less than forty-five (45) calendar days nor more than seventy-five (75) calendar days prior to the date of the Board meeting at which the nominee would be elected.
3.  The Shareholder Recommendation must include: (i) a statement in writing setting forth (A) the name, age, date of birth, business address, residence address and nationality of the person recommended by the shareholder (the ‘‘candidate’’); (B) the series (and, if applicable, class) and number of all shares of the Trust owned of record or beneficially by the candidate, as reported to such shareholder by the candidate; (C) any other information regarding the candidate called for with respect to director nominees by paragraphs (a), (d), (e) and (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K or paragraph (b) of Item 22 of Rule 14a-101 (Schedule 14A) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’), adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the corresponding provisions of any regulation or rule subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor agency applicable to the Trust); (D) any other information regarding the candidate that would be required to be disclosed if the candidate were a nominee in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitation of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (E) whether the recommending shareholder believes that the candidate is or will be an ‘‘interested person’’ of the Trust (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and, if not an ‘‘interested person,’’ information regarding the candidate that will be sufficient for the Trust to make such determination; (ii) the written and signed consent of the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as a Trustee if elected; (iii) the recommending shareholder's name as it appears on the Trust's books; (iv) the series (and, if applicable, class) and number of all shares of the Trust owned beneficially and of record by the recommending shareholder; and (v) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the recommending shareholder and the candidate and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the recommendation is being made by the recommending shareholder. In addition, the Committee may require the candidate to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require or deem necessary to determine the eligibility of such candidate to serve as a Trustee of the Trust.
