December 4, 2015

Dear Shareholder:

The financial news over the Funds’ last fiscal year was littered with headlines surrounding China’s economic slowdown, the global commodities glut — namely copper and oil — and speculation as to the timing and magnitude of the Fed’s first rate hike, all of which led to heightened levels of volatility in the market.  For example, economic concerns plagued virtually all assets in August and September, followed by an impressive recovery in October for most risk assets. Notwithstanding these short-term fluctuations, a recovering U.S. economy generally enabled U.S. stocks to advance for the year. Similarly, central bank and policy intervention greatly benefitted Japanese stocks and helped many European equity markets overcome losses from earlier in the period.

From an asset allocation standpoint, U.S. fixed income securities were impacted by the rate debate as long-duration taxable and municipal debt fared better than short-duration debt. Meanwhile, international bonds generally underperformed as Central Bank intervention led to heightened yield volatility. Indeed, during the second quarter, some European sovereign issuers briefly issued debt with a negative carry (or yield), only to see those yields rise to 2015 highs weeks later.

Higher-quality bonds generally outperformed their lower-quality counterparts as liquidity concerns and weakness among energy prices impacted the high-yield market. Among sectors, the emerging markets (“EM”) were especially hard hit as the current environment, characterized by a strong dollar and weak commodities, led to one of the worst drawdown periods on record for both EM equities and debt. It is worth noting, however, that both EM equities and debt generally rebounded in October, in what may be a sign that broad economic and structural concerns could soon reach an inflection point.

Over the next six months, we expect market volatility to persist as investor confidence oscillates from concerns over rising interest rates, a potential global economic slowdown and the impact of low energy prices. While we recognize that volatile markets can be trying, we believe that uncertainty creates opportunities for skilled investors. As a truly global investment firm, our economists and portfolio managers are well positioned to monitor developments, keeping a careful eye on market factors such as Chinese fiscal and monetary policy, expectations of higher short-term interest rates and liquidity concerns.

As we stated in the Funds’ Semi-Annual Report, we continue to believe that the investor who maintains a long-term investment posture with a diversified portfolio — both across asset classes and geographic borders — should be able to weather the bumpy periods while also capturing potential upside opportunities. With year-end upon us, it is a good time to consult with your financial advisor and review your long-term investment objectives and asset allocation.

We appreciate the confidence you place in Schroders and thank you for investing with us.

Sincerely,
	Mark A. Hemenetz, CFA
	President

Schroder North American Equity Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder North American Equity Fund (the “Fund”) gained 3.77% (Investor Shares) and 3.44% (Advisor Shares) compared to the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”), a stock market index based on the market capitalizations of 500 large companies having common stock listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, which rose by 5.20%.

Market Background

The period started with optimism over the outlook for the U.S. economy; however, summer 2015 saw volatility increase amid worries over slowing global growth and uncertainty over U.S. monetary policy. A weaker oil price was a feature of the period.

Portfolio Review

The Fund lagged the benchmark as the continued outperformance of ‘growth’ versus ‘value’ was a headwind. Since summer 2014, value stocks have significantly underperformed, with investors gravitating towards apparently lower risk minimum volatility stocks or, at times of increased optimism, highly-priced growth stocks. Stock selection within the retail and media industries weighed on relative returns over the twelve-month period (for example, underweights in Amazon and Netflix).

On the positive side, the Fund’s low allocation to utilities — which we continue to view as unattractive — was beneficial. Within energy, our underweight allocation to exploration & production firms made a positive contribution to relative performance.

Outlook

Within healthcare, we prefer pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and health management organisations although recent market volatility has provided the opportunity to take profits and reinvest elsewhere, such as consumer staples.

Complex banks, in our view, currently offer better opportunities than relatively more expensive simple banks. We remain overweight insurance, as we believe it offers attractively-priced, high quality opportunities, though we have taken some profits recently.

The portfolio’s weighting to technology remains elevated. We still see better opportunities in established technology stocks (e.g. Intel) compared to the newer, more glamorous stocks. The weight in the industrials sector remains high.

In energy, we prefer the better value integrated oil & gas stocks compared to the more volatile explorers. Within materials, we prefer higher quality and lower cost mining stocks, while having an underweight allocation to chemicals and steel stocks.

Schroder U.S. Opportunities Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder U.S. Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) gained  3.76% (Investor Shares) and 3.50% (Advisor Shares) compared to the Russell 2000 Index (the “Index”), a broad-based index of 2,000 small capitalization U.S. companies, which rose 0.34%. On September 28, 2015, the Fund began to offer R6 shares, which gained 5.96% since inception through the period ended October 31, 2015.

Market Backdrop

Over the reporting period the Index returned 0.34% behind both large caps (+5.20%) and Small & Midcap (“SMID”) caps (+1.50%).  The small cap market rose relatively steadily from the start of the reporting period until we reached the summer of 2015.  Problems began in August when economic data made it clear that the Chinese economy was slowing. At its nadir the Russell 2000 Index dropped 15% from its June 23 high.  After a brief rebound things got worse.  Following the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed’s”) September meeting, Chairman Yellen explained the Fed’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged by citing concerns about China and emerging market economies and their potential impact on the U.S.  This reignited the concerns of late August and another market drop ensued.  In a flight to safety, U.S. 10-year Treasury yields, which had been as high as 2.48% in early June, dropped to 2.01% during the August rout. However, the story changed come October when equity markets surged as there were a number of tailwinds for global risk assets. The European Central Bank remained dovish and there were increasing signs pointing to stabilization in China. The Fed backdrop dramatically shifted over the course of the month following the Fed’s two-day meeting in October, and the prospect of an interest rate ‘take off’ in December is approximately 50%, as of writing this report. This news has been well received by the equity markets and put returns back in the black for the one-year period.

Among small caps, the highest beta stocks lagged as one might expect in this environment. The market was also led by higher market cap and high momentum companies.  The energy sector was the weakest, having lost -46.8%.  This of course reflects the dramatic decrease in oil prices.  Materials were weak (-9.2%) along with producer durables (-9.2%).  The best returning sectors were consumer staples (+9.1%) and healthcare (+9.8%), which were led by the well-performing biotechnology group.  While the healthcare sector led for much of the period it has been quite weak for the last three months of the period.

Our stock selection contributed in every sector other than healthcare and financials.  The main source of our lag in health care was biotechnology.  In our space, the biotechnology stocks are priced on the dream of great future prospects with the key markers being progress through FDA clinical trials. These are binary events.  Our investment approach focuses on identifying good ongoing business models with predictable growth prospects.  In other words, our approach does not lend itself to the biotechnology group under recent conditions. The financials lag was mainly due to one holding in the securities brokerage and services industry, FXCM.

Our best outperformance came from consumer discretionary driven by our holdings in the restaurant industry (Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Domino’s Pizza), specialty retail (American Eagle Outfitters) and the funeral industry (Matthews International). Producer durables was another source of strength. Returns were driven by good stock selection particularly in the enginnering and contract services industry (Dycom Industries), the environmental and maintenance industry (ServiceMaster Global Holdings) and aerospace (Hexcel).  We had strong stock selection in real estate investment trusts as well, with notable contributions from apartment REITs Mid-America Apartment Communities and Equity LifeStyle Properties.

Our primary detractors included FXCM (noted above), Primoris (producer durables), Ryerson Holding (materials and processing) and Unilife (healthcare).

In general, we do not make dramatic shifts in sector exposure and that was the case for the past year.  The largest change in sector over/under weights were decreases in both technology and consumer discretionary exposure. A number of names left the portfolio due to price action (such as Berry Plastics Group and Red Robin Gourment Burgers) or takeovers (such as Salix Pharmacuticals). Our REIT exposure rose as we added Douglas Emmett, an office REIT.  We also increased our weighting in Equity LifeStyle Properties which is a residential REIT. Healthcare exposure rose modestly as we added several new names, notably Evolent Health, KemPharm and INC Research Holdings.

Outlook

We remain positive about the U.S. The source of our optimism is the housing market, which continues to recover at a moderate and sustained pace. Housing has a powerful multiplier effect in the economy as the construction and purchase of a new home generates a wide variety of additional purchases. A key element of our optimism relates to positive trends in the 25-to-34-year-old cohort. This group was hardest hit by the great recession and seems to be finally getting on its feet. Employment has noticeably improved for people in this category, with those who moved in with their parents now moving out and creating new households. In addition, we are seeing an increase in the birth rate, which is a key trigger for a home purchase.

5

We are seeing some improvement in credit available for consumers. The source is not always the banks, which are still recovering from the effects of looser lending standards before the recession. Third party sources, such as Lending Tree, a comparison website, are meeting the borrowing needs of many consumers.

As we have noted previously, healthcare has seen an explosion in initial public offerings (IPOs) of biotech companies. In our view many of these have been of poor quality. Not unexpectedly, both the biotech and pharmaceutical industries (the latter also an area of IPO activity) were particularly hard hit in the downturn.

Our largest concern is the valuations of small and mid cap securities. They are still at elevated levels, partially, but not entirely, due to the very low level of interest rates. The impact on our strategy is that it has become more difficult to find mispriced growth stocks - the largest building block of our portfolio.

Schroder U.S. Small and Mid Cap Opportunities Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder U.S. Small and Mid Cap Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) gained  7.23% (Investor Shares) and 7.00% (Advisor Shares) compared to the Russell 2500 Index (the “Index”), a broad-based index of 2,500 small- and mid-capitalization U.S. companies, which rose 1.50%. On December 30, 2014, the Fund began to offer R6 shares, which gained 3.24% since inception through period ended October 31, 2015.

Market Backdrop

Over the reporting period, large caps returned 5.20% while Small and Mid (“SMID”) cap returned 1.50%, both of which outperformed small caps (+0.34%).  The SMID cap market rose relatively steadily from the start of the period until we reached the summer of 2015.  Problems began in August when economic data made it clear that the Chinese economy was slowing.  At its nadir the Index dropped 13% from its June 23 high.  After a brief rebound things got worse.  Following the Federal Reserve’s (“the Fed’s”) September meeting Chairman Yellen explained the Fed’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged by citing concerns about China and emerging market economies and their potential impact on the U.S.  This reignited the concerns of late August and another market drop ensued.  In a flight to safety U.S. 10-year Treasury yields, which had been as high as 2.48% in early June, dropped to 2.01% during the August rout. However, the story changed come October when equity markets surged as there were a number of tailwinds for global risk assets. The European Central Bank remained dovish and there were increasing signs pointing to stabilization in China. The Fed backdrop dramatically shifted over the course of the month following the Fed’s two-day meeting in October, and the prospect of an interest rate ‘take off’ in December is now approximately 50%, as of writing this report. This news has been well received by the equity markets and put returns back in the black for the one year period.

Among small and mid caps, the highest beta stocks lagged as one might expect in this environment. The market was also led by higher market cap and high momentum companies.  The energy sector was the weakest, having lost -42.5%.  This of course reflects the dramatic decrease in oil prices.  Materials were weak (-3.3%) along with producer durables (-6.2%).  The best returning sectors were healthcare (+9.8%) and financials (+11.5%), which were were led by the financial data systems and multiline insurance industries.

Portfolio Review

Our stock selection contributed in every sector other than healthcare.  The main source of our lag in healthcare was biotechnology.  In the SMID range such stocks are priced on the dream of great future prospects with the key markers being progress through FDA clinical trials. These are binary events.  Our investment approach focuses on identifying good ongoing business models with predictable growth prospects.  In other words, our approach does not lend itself to the biotechnology group under recent conditions.

Outperformance came from materials & processing driven by our packaging holdings (Sealed Air and Berry Plastics Group) and textile products (Interface).  Producer durables was another source of strength. Returns were driven by good stock selection particularly in the environmental and maintenance industry (Rollins, Aramark), air transport (Alaska Air, Spirit Airlines) and machinery tools (Snap-on).  We had strong stock selection in consumer discretionary as well, with notable contributions from Graham Holdings (education services), Advance Auto Parts (specialty retail) and Brunswick Corporation (recreational vehicles and boats). Overall, it was a very strong year for the Fund.

Detractors included energy holdings Helmerich & Payne, an oil service company, plus exploration companies EP Energy and Denbury Resources, both of which have been sold.  Other key detractors were in healthcare (Fluidigm), materials (Dover) and producer durables (Genessee & Wyoming).

In general we do not make dramatic shifts in sector exposure and that was the case for the past year.  The largest change in sector over- and underweights was a decrease in consumer discretionary exposure. We went from a slight underweight to a 4.4% underweight.  A number of names left the portfolio due to price action (such as Harman International, Copart, Urban Outfitters, Spirit Airlines) or takeovers (such as AOL). Our energy weight declined, in part due to the impact declining oil prices had on the sector but also because we reduced our exposure to high cost producers (Denbury Resources) and more highly levered producers (EP Energy).  Our REIT exposure rose as we added Douglas Emmett, an office REIT.  We also increased our weighting in Equity LifeStyle Properties which is a residential REIT. Healthcare exposure rose modestly as we added several new names, notably VWR and Cooper.

Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Fund”) fell -12.88% (Investor Shares) and -13.01% (Advisor Shares) compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Index”), a broad-based basket of emerging market stocks covering over 800 securities across 23 markets, which fell -14.53%. On December 30, 2014, the Fund began to offer R6 shares, which fell -8.17% since inception through the period ended October 31, 2015.

Market Backdrop

Global equities recorded a modest gain over the year. The U.S. economy continued to recover, despite some weakness in data at the start of 2015, and speculation has focused on the timing of a first rate hike. In Europe, concerns over the recovery of the eurozone economy prompted the European Central Bank (“ECB”) to launch a monetary easing programme in early 2015 while ECB President Draghi has recently indicated that the central bank is prepared to take further action as required. However, uncertainty over a potential U.S. rate rise and growth and policy concerns in China served to unsettle markets, particularly in the second half of the period. Emerging markets faced a challenging period with a stronger U.S. dollar and country specific issues weighing on returns. The Index declined in value and underperformed the MSCI World Index.

Emerging Asian markets held up best. Chinese equities were only marginally down over the year, despite elevated volatility in the second half of the period. Macro data in general deteriorated which prompted the authorities to provide stimulus through rate cuts and a lowering of bank reserve ratio requirements (RRR), while local governments were encouraged to swap bank loans into longer-dated bonds, addressing the rapid debt increase since 2010. Meanwhile the Shanghai-Hong Kong Connect scheme opened in April. Together with an environment where attractive lending opportunities were becoming scarcer, these moves contributed to a liquidity-driven rally in the stock market. The authorities sought to tame the market volatility and calm markets and a correction ensued, which then prompted further rounds of interest and RRR reductions, as well as the injection of liquidity into the banking sector. GDP growth was 6.9% year over year in Q3. The Philippines and Korea also held up relatively well. Both economies are relatively well placed to weather an environment of tighter global liquidity given their large account surplus positions. In India, lower oil prices and the central bank’s action to cut rates to 6.75% were both supportive. However, concerns over delayed reforms and another weak monsoon season were a drag on absolute performance. Taiwan outperformed, although some weak macro data towards the end of the year served to weigh on overall returns. Thailand underperformed. The military remained in power and although martial law was lifted in April, a draft constitution was rejected, meaning elections will likely be delayed. Meanwhile economic growth has remained muted and 2Q GDP growth eased to 2.8% year over year. Indonesia also underperformed. The country has a high current account deficit and the equity market and the currency were impacted by expectations of an interest rate hike from the Fed. Malaysia was the worst performing regional market, negatively impacted by the sharp decline in energy prices and a political corruption scandal.

Emerging EMEA equities recorded more mixed returns. Hungary delivered a strong gain and was the only Index market to finish in positive territory, with OTP Bank supporting gains. South Africa was firmly down in absolute terms but outperformed. The country’s large current account deficit caused some unease in the face of expectations for tighter global liquidity, and the rand experienced a sharp decline relative to the U.S. dollar. However, large index stock Naspers provided some comparative support to the local market. The Czech Republic was down, with utility company CEZ, which represents more than half the country’s index weight, weighing on returns. However, macro data remained strong. Qatar recorded a sizeable decline. Negative sentiment from weak oil prices was exacerbated by the launch of corruption investigations at FIFA, which have spurred some uncertainty over the 2022 World Cup. Russia underperformed, negatively impacted by a 42.3% decline in the price of Brent crude. Geopolitical uncertainty stemming from a frozen crisis in Ukraine, which resulted in a tightening of international sanctions, was a further headwind to performance. Egypt was down, with security concerns weighing on the local market. In Turkey, June parliamentary elections delivered an indecisive result and will be re-run in November. Political risk has been further heightened following the country’s move to join the U.S.-led coalition in Syria and after the PKK ended its ceasefire with the government. The UAE lagged, with lower oil prices a drag on sentiment. In Poland, a surprise win for the opposition centrist-right PiS candidate in a May presidential election was followed by a PiS victory in October parliamentary elections. Local equities sold off as polls shifted towards PiS, given the party’s plans for higher fiscal spending, which would likely be funded by sector specific taxes and a higher budget deficit. Greece was the weakest Index country, recording a sharp drawdown. The election of radical left party Syriza in early 2015 was followed by months of negotiations with international partners. With no deal in place the government called a referendum at the end of June and introduced capital controls. Although a third bailout deal was finally agreed, this involves major concessions from the Greek government. Furthermore, the imposition of capital controls means banks are now expected to require a sizeable recapitalisation.

In Latin America, all of the Index countries were down, with currency weakness amplifying negative returns. The more defensive Chilean market held up best but was down heavily and underperformed. A 23.6% decline in copper was negative for the local market and the peso lost 16.4% relative to the U.S. dollar. Meanwhile, President Bachelet’s draft tax and labour market reform weighed on private investment somewhat during the period. Mexico lagged, with some of the Index’s largest stocks weighing on returns. GDP growth showed a modest improvement, largely due to a recovery in the consumer sector, with spending ahead of June’s legislative elections providing support. In terms of energy sector reform, September’s second package of ‘round one’ oil field auctions were more

13

successful than those held in August. Peru underperformed, with the sell-off in commodity prices acting as a headwind to performance. Towards the end of the year, MSCI’s announcement that it was considering Peru for downgrade to its frontier market index (a decision it has since delayed for 12 months) also weighed on performance. Colombia lagged, primarily due to the heavy decline in the oil price; given that oil had accounted for 55% of exports. In this environment, state-controlled oil company Ecopetrol was among the weakest stocks. Brazil underperformed by a wide margin, with a 35.8% decline in the real versus the U.S. dollar exacerbating negative returns. Following the re-election of Dilma Rousseff, the economy has fallen into recession and GDP contracted 2.6% year over year in Q2. Meanwhile the new finance minister’s efforts to put the economy on a more sustainable footing have been hit by political wrangling in congress, with a corruption scandal surrounding Petrobras further weighing on sentiment. The government’s U-turn on a commitment to a primary surplus in 2016 then prompted a credit rating downgrade to non-investment grade status.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s performance was ahead of the Index over the reporting period, with country allocation and stock selection both adding value.

On a country basis, a zero-weight to Malaysia and the overweights to China and Korea added the most to relative returns. An underweight to Colombia and a small cash position also proved beneficial. In contrast, an overweight to Turkey detracted.

At a stock level, selection in Taiwan contributed the most to returns. This included the overweights to Catcher Technology and Eclat Textile, as well as an underweight to Mediatek. Positive selection in India also generated sizeable gains, most notably the off-benchmark positions in automaker Maruti Suzuki and pharmaceuticals company Lupin. An overweight to HDFC Bank also added value. Conversely, stock selection in Korea was negative.

Outlook

Emerging markets have staged a rebound recently, driven by the prospect of supportive global liquidity for longer. However, we do not believe this rally has signalled the start of a prolonged bull run, given that the headwind of more restrictive monetary policy in the U.S. has not disappeared, but rather expectations have simply been pushed back. Indeed, the rally which was primarily driven by perceived weaker economies and lower quality, typically commodity-heavy stocks, is already dissipating. What is becoming increasingly clear is that U.S. monetary policy tightening will be gradual and modest which should allow investors to refocus on the strong case for investing in emerging markets. So, once the Fed tightens and provided it is not surprisingly aggressive, in our view global emerging markets securities are well placed to perform well given the current exceptional degree of bearish sentiment towards them. The underperformance of emerging markets has also led valuations to become attractive and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is trading on a material discount of over 30% to the MSCI World Index. In the immediate term, then, we have not positioned ourselves for a prolonged rally; we are currently underweight the energy and material sectors. However, we expect to move to a more positive stance on the outlook for emerging markets and to add more cyclicality into the portfolio, provided we see more clarity on U.S. monetary policy and confidence that the U.S. dollar has already done much of its strengthening.

Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Cap Equity Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund”) fell -16.81% (Investor Shares) and -17.03% (Advisor Shares). For the same twelve-month period, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Index”), a broad-based basket of emerging market stocks covering over 800 securities across 23 markets, fell -14.53%. On December 30, 2014, the Fund began to offer R6 shares, which fell -11.76% since inception through the period ended October 31, 2015.

Market Background

Both developed and emerging markets posted negative returns over the period, with emerging markets lagging their developed markets counterparts. Emerging markets came under pressure towards the end of 2014 as investors grew increasingly nervous in the face of a number of headwinds, principally the potential fragility of Russia, sluggish growth in China and the prospect of an increase in U.S. interest rates. However, after the poor end to 2014, emerging markets broadly tracked developed equities during the first half on 2015, only to underperform again in the third quarter of 2015, with currency weakness exacerbating the decline in U.S. dollar terms. The IMF warned that emerging markets will suffer a net outflow of capital in the future for the first time since the 1980s, leaving foreign investor flows lower than levels recorded at the height of the global financial crisis.

Worries over slowing growth in China were a key feature throughout the reporting period. The Chinese stock market saw significant volatility during the period, with substantial gains being made in the spring and then declines in the summer after a poorly communicated effort to adjust exchange rate policy. However, Chinese equities received some support from hopes that the authorities would continue to take steps to ease monetary policy, as they did on several occasions throughout the period.

Expectations of slower growth in China contributed to the drop in commodity prices, which was another important theme of the twelve-month period. Oil prices saw a significant drop in late 2014 and early 2015, with increased supply also a factor weighing on prices. While many of the larger emerging markets are actually net beneficiaries of lower energy costs (most notably China, India, Korea and Taiwan), the reliance of countries like Brazil on iron ore and Russia and Mexico on oil was clearly evident. Brazil faced additional headwinds over the period, including a corruption investigation focused on oil major Petrobras.

In Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), resource-heavy markets such as Russia underperformed. Resource stocks in South Africa were also under pressure although the market drew some support from index heavyweight Naspers, which benefited from investors’ preference for growth over value during the period. The small Greek market underperformed following the election of anti-austerity party Syriza in early 2015 amid worries over the country’s debt. At the end of June, Greece’s failure to reach a deal with the EU led to the introduction of capital controls with banks closed and cash withdrawals limited to 60 per day.

Portfolio Review

The Fund lagged the benchmark Index over the period. In part, this was due to investors’ preference for ‘growth’ as well as for higher quality (particularly defensive) stocks in times of uncertainty. At the same time, investors largely shunned ‘value’ opportunities. As with developed markets, it was also a largely momentum-driven market which is not unusual when investors are short-term in nature and afraid to break away from the herd.

The emerging Asian markets detracted overall from relative returns in the period. Stock specific headwinds were partly the cause of this, not least the strength in Korea’s Samsung and China’s Tencent Holdings; these are stocks in which we have a below-benchmark allocation. Elsewhere, in Thailand the overweight allocation to exploration & production was a detractor for the Fund. The overweight in Indonesian cement stocks also weighed on Fund returns after the announcement of new government regulations on cement prices aimed at supporting the local construction industry. On the positive side, the portfolio benefited from positioning within Malaysia, where returns were under pressure over the period (the country is Asia’s only energy exporter). In India, our overweight allocation in IT services supported relative returns.

Resource-laden Latin America was the worst-performing region over the period so our underweight allocation here was positive for relative returns, particularly the below-benchmark allocation to Mexico, a market we viewed as expensive.  However, positioning in Brazil detracted from relative returns. Our relative underweight allocation to Petrobras and to complex banks was supportive for relative returns but this was offset by the Fund’s overweight allocations in other areas, including mining and utilities.

In EMEA, exposure to mining also proved to be a drag on returns in South Africa. Our lack of exposure to media stock Naspers also detracted from relative performance. Naspers, which owns part of Chinese group Tencent Holdings, has been a key beneficiary of the search for growth theme. Elsewhere in South Africa, our positioning within food & drink stocks supported Fund returns. Meanwhile, our underweight allocation to the Greek market was positive for relative returns, particularly our avoidance of Greek banks amidst the country’s debt worries.

16

Outlook

We believe the key country positions in the Fund are the underweights in Korea, China, Mexico and Malaysia, in favor of less-loved markets such as South Africa, Thailand and Indonesia. The main driver of the lower than index weight in China is a less inflated weighting in financials (both banks and insurers), as well as the underweight in Tencent Holdings. However, we are overweight healthcare, autos, apparel and selected industrials and have started to take advantage of cheaper valuations within Chinese financials (although we remain underweight).

Within Korea, we remain underweight Samsung, which is a key driver of the lower-than-Index allocation to the market. We are also avoiding many Korean industrials where profitability is under pressure. We do hold a number of stocks in the auto industry, although we have been reducing these positions of late. Elsewhere in Asia, we are overweight Thailand, particularly energy, technology and telecoms stocks. The strategy is overweight Indonesia, especially the out-of-favor cement stocks, and we have recently been adding to the banking sector in both Indonesia and Thailand. Our exposure to Taiwan is mostly driven by the overweight to small and mid-cap stocks in its technology sector, although we have recently started to build up new positions within financials and telecoms and are now modestly overweight the overall market. We remain underweight Malaysia, due to a low exposure to industrials and financials which has been beneficial of late. Within India, our portfolios are biased toward the larger international technology stocks such as Infosys and Wipro, whilst we are underweight the less profitable domestic industrials stocks.

In the EMEA region, we have a long-held preference for South African stocks, especially financials, telecoms and consumer staples, the main exception being media giant Naspers (which owns 34% of Tencent Holdings). We have been trimming back our modest overweight to Turkey and are broadly neutral Russia relative to the index, although within the country we do not hold any financials in favor of selected resource stocks.

We are underweight Latin America in the aggregate primarily due to our position in the Mexican market. Mexico remains relatively expensive and we have only limited exposure there, which has been the case for quite some time. Our exposure to Brazil is driven largely by our positions in utilities and industrials.

Schroder Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

The Schroder Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund (the “Fund”) commenced operations on August 26, 2015. During the period from inception through October 31, 2015, the Fund gained 5.20% (Investor Shares and R6 Shares), compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index (the “Index”), a broad-based basket of emerging market stocks covering over 1,800 securities across 23 markets, which rose 9.47% during the same period.

Market background

Global equities recorded a positive return over the period as risk appetite improved. After an initial poor market reaction to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision at the end of September 2015 to delay monetary tightening, markets rallied with the prospect of a supportive liquidity environment. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank further supported markets with talk of further quantitative easing (“QE”) and China announced policy easing measures. The Index posted a positive return and performed broadly in line with the MSCI World Index.

Chinese smaller companies registered a strong return and outperformed as the People’s Bank of China cut interest rates, lowered the reserve requirement ratio for banks and removed a deposit cap that limited the rate banks can pay savers. These stimulatory moves followed a third quarter Chinese gross domestic product report that indicated growth eased to 6.9% year on year. Some alleviation in near-term U.S.-dollar liquidity and an easing in Chinese growth concerns were beneficial for Indonesia, with gains magnified by appreciation in the rupiah. Taiwan also outperformed, with technology stocks leading the Index higher amid expectations that central bank actions in Europe and the U.S. may serve to support exports. India marginally underperformed as earnings were weaker than expected and Korea was a bigger laggard given its more defensive nature in an environment of increased risk appetite.

Meanwhile, Mexico performed broadly in line with the Index. Macro data continued to reflect a recovery in the economy with remittances also supportive. Brazil lagged and posted a negative return with currency weakness magnifying negative returns that were driven by a sovereign credit rating downgrade to non-investment grade status. In emerging EMEA, Russia performed strongly with a 15% rebound in oil prices supporting the local market and the ruble. Poland underperformed with the market falling sharply as the national-conservative PIS party won parliamentary election. This was not seen as a not market positive given the party’s plans for higher fiscal spending, which will likely be funded by sector specific taxes and a higher budget deficit.

Portfolio Review

Although the Fund’s return over the period was positive, its performance was behind that of the Index over the period as stock selection acted as a drag. This was especially acute in China where the Fund’s stocks lagged a rally following a number of easing measures. Selection in India and Poland also detracted. Some of the more defensive growth names in healthcare, such as Bumrungrad Hospital and Apollo Hospitals Enterprise, and Filipino consumer related name D&L Industries trailed. Meanwhile, stock selection in Korea contributed positively to returns with our holdings in select consumer discretionary and healthcare names outperforming the market.

Outlook

We believe that the strategic case for an investment in emerging market smaller companies remains compelling, in large part due to their rich opportunity set and their generally under researched nature versus larger-cap companies. In the immediate term, however, soft global growth and a strengthening U.S. dollar challenge the outlook. While valuations for emerging markets smaller companies overall appear reasonably attractive, our view is that some of the most attractive domestic orientated growth opportunities remain expensive.

Schroder International Alpha Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder International Alpha Fund (the “Fund”) fell -0.89% (Investor Shares) and -1.08% (Advisor Shares) compared to the MSCI EAFE Index, a broad-based basket of international stocks, which fell -0.07%. On December 30, 2014, the Fund began to offer R6 shares, which gained 1.29% since inception through the period ended October 31, 2015.

Market Background

Amidst an environment of heightened volatility and slow growth, international equities posted flat returns over the period. In late 2014, investors were concerned that the rest of the world was failing to keep up with the U.S., which fuelled significant dollar strength and currency volatility. We also saw oil prices collapse amidst increasing supply as Saudi Arabia remained determined to defend their market share at any price and drive out the marginal producers. However, in early 2015 dollar strength subsided as macro momentum picked up in Europe and Japan. Volatility returned with a vengeance during August 2015 with concerns about a deeper-than-expected slowdown in China and the prospect of a potential U.S. rate hike in September largely behind the ‘risk-off’ sentiment and sharp market correction.

The best performing sectors of the market over the period were the technology and consumer-related sectors. Technology benefited from some strong earnings results helped by substantial cost saving efforts and healthy end markets. Meanwhile, consumer stocks have, to some extent, benefited from increased consumer spending as a result of weaker energy prices boosting disposable income. Conversely, the energy and materials sectors were the weakest performing sectors as the supply glut and softer demand from China weighed on prices and earnings.

Portfolio Review

The portfolio underperformed the Index over the twelve-month period. At the sector level, stock selection had a negative impact on returns, with the exception of the consumer staples, healthcare and materials sectors. From a regional perspective, the Fund’s holdings in Japan weighed on performance. Stock selection in Asia Pacific (ex Japan), Europe and the UK, however, benefitted returns on a relative basis.

The biggest individual contributor to returns was Lonza Group, a life sciences company and contract manufacturer for the pharmaceutical industry. Earnings results have showed strength in the pharma and biotech business and management is executing well. The company’s pipeline of contracts to supply many of the new drugs that are coming to market remains a key part of our investment thesis. Elsewhere, improving sentiment in the autos-related sector was supportive for a few of our auto-exposed holdings which performed well over the twelve-month period. Favorable currency exposures, lower raw material prices and falling oil prices benefited both Bridgestone and Continental.

Among the largest detractors from performance were some of our energy-related stocks, including Statoil and DnB NOR, as oil prices remained low during the period. DnB NOR is Norway’s largest bank and concerns about the impact of the oil price on the oil-dependant Norwegian economy weighed on the shares. Meanwhile, Statoil has been particularly sensitive to the slide in oil prices, given its relatively high production costs and lack of defensive refining exposure. However, we believe there is an underappreciated self-help story with better leverage to an oil price recovery than its peers. We remain confident in the company’s ability to re-position itself down the cost curve and deliver production growth, even at lower oil prices. Management has proven adept at delivering cost and capital expenditure reductions and the increased production coming from the Sverdrup field will benefit earnings.

Outlook

The outlook for equity markets remains finely balanced as investors continue to look for certainty in an uncertain environment. The aggregate picture remains challenging but we see good opportunities for companies with healthy cash flow and strong balance sheets that possess innovative or adaptable business models. Moreover, recent volatility provides attractive entry points for companies with solid fundamentals that have been unduly sold off.

There is a pervasive sense of macroeconomic uncertainty at the moment, driven primarily by concerns for the Greater China region. Our base case remains that the transition from an investment-led to consumption-led economy can be managed, albeit at the cost of significant losses in the financial and investment-related sectors of the market — areas we have been, and continue to be, cautious about. Growth in China will undoubtedly be slower but likely more balanced and sustainable.

Emerging markets are one of the few areas globally where valuations currently look attractive and selling fatigue now seems evident. However, leverage has built up and risks remain high in a number of markets. That being said, we do believe that there are now some compelling opportunities to invest in quality franchises that have excessively sold off in sympathy with the “risk off trade”. We favor countries that continue to undertake aggressive reform and remain focused on companies with sustainable competitive advantages, attractive financials and high earnings quality.

21

In the U.S., economic data have been more mixed recently, and it remains to be seen how the economy will cope with rising interest rates and potentially additional dollar strength. In addition, with minimum wage increases now broadening out across industries, we are cognisant of the potential shorter term risk to company margins and earnings. We have already seen 2015 earnings estimates downgraded and 2016 could see more negative impacts come through from the strong dollar, soft commodity prices and rising wage cost pressure. Given that headline valuations are still reasonably high and there appears to be little room for margin growth, we now feel that the U.S. equity bull market is showing signs of fatigue and expectations could be too high.

In contrast, European equity valuations and expectations are at a lower level. Although there is some uncertainty about the speed of the region’s recovery, it does provide a good backdrop against which companies can reap the rewards of pent-up demand from consumers and businesses amidst a recovery in the credit cycle. Coming from a cyclically low base, there is meaningful scope for European margins to surprise, particularly in southern Europe where economic data have been improving.

Japan remains attractive both in terms of valuations and earnings. Low oil, the weak yen and the corporate tax cut continue to support profits. Prime Minister Abe’s reform agenda has lost some momentum as elections in Japan have shifted focus toward national security issues. However, the market should still see positive momentum from a combination of the end of deflation, a new management mindset that is more focused on shareholder returns and government asset purchases.

We are watching credit spreads carefully, as the recent increases in both high yield and investment grade credit yields have started to put upward pressure on equity discount rates. If this trend continues we are unlikely to see the elevated levels of M&A activity, or share buybacks, that we did throughout most of 2015.

Deflationary pressure is likely to remain a key feature of the global economy and a lack of pricing power is already in evidence in the traded goods sector. We expect industrial and manufacturing companies will continue to operate in a challenging environment. We have already seen profit warnings issued by a number of capital goods manufacturers, highlighting that the summer period has been weak for these markets.

In the services industries, pricing power and activity levels have been more resilient, which naturally informs a preference in our portfolios for such firms over manufacturers. It is also worth noting that the services sector as a percentage of GDP recently moved above 50% for the first time ever in China, underpinning the slower but more balanced growth.

In the current environment, our emphasis within manufacturing industries is on companies with a high component of recurring revenue (such as maintenance providers and parts suppliers), as these should prove more resilient to any decline in capital investment spending. We are also highly focused on innovation as a driver of pricing regardless of the industry environment. Overall, we continue to see good opportunities for selective investors and favor companies with solid cash flow, healthy balance sheets and adaptive or innovative business models.

“Total Return” shown above is calculated including reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Returns for certain periods reflect fee waivers and/or reimbursements in effect for that period; absent fee waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results. The value of an investment in the Fund and the return on investment both will fluctuate and redemption proceeds may be higher or lower than an investor’s original cost.

Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) fell -5.12% (Investor Shares) and -5.27% (Advisor Shares) compared to the MSCI EAFE Index, a broad-based basket of stocks in developed markets, with the exception of the U.S. and Canada, which fell -0.07% during this same period, and the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index, a broad measure of stock performance throughout the world, with the exception of the U.S., including both developed and emerging markets (collectively, the “Indices”), which fell -4.68%. On December 30, 2014, the Fund began to offer R6 shares, which fell -1.62% since inception through the period ended October 31, 2015.

Market Background

Developed market (ex U.S. and Canada) equities (as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index) registered flat returns for the twelve-month period; however, emerging markets significantly underperformed their developed market peers. European equities were flat in U.S. dollar terms but posted substantial euro-denominated gains over the period. The launch of quantitative easing by the European Central Bank in early 2015 supported European equities and saw the euro depreciate versus the U.S. dollar. Japanese equities delivered gains over the period, also supported by monetary policy easing.

Emerging markets struggled to keep pace with developed markets as investor skittishness resulted in a challenging period. Concerns included the direction of U.S. interest rates, dollar strength, geopolitical tensions, falling commodity prices, and the economic slowdown in China. Rising volatility in summer 2015 saw emerging markets significantly underperform developed markets towards the latter part of the period. Currency credibility was an issue for investors during the quarter: Brazil, Turkey, South Africa and Malaysia all experienced double digit losses in their trade weighted exchange rates in Q3 2015. Meanwhile, fears over a slowdown in China, coupled with continued oversupply, provided downward pressure on commodity prices which, in turn, hurt commodity-exporting emerging markets.

Amid the pressure on commodity prices, the energy and materials sectors were the worst performers over the twelve months, registering negative returns. A bribery scandal at Brazilian group Petrobras added to the oil & gas sector’s woes. The consumer discretionary and staples sectors were the top performers; consumer-related stocks received a boost from the oil price drop as people spent less on petrol and therefore had more money available for restaurants, gifts and home improvements.

The period was marked by substantial divergence between investment styles. Since summer 2014, ‘value’ stocks have significantly underperformed with investors in particular gravitating towards apparently lower risk but expensive ‘minimum volatility’ stocks or, at times of increased optimism, highly priced ‘growth’ stocks.

Portfolio Review

The portfolio lagged the Indices; exposure to emerging markets was a drag on performance relative to the MSCI EAFE as even the high quality, cheap stocks where the Fund had most exposure suffered.  The portfolio also lagged the MSCI AC World ex-U.S. Index but to a lesser degree. We continue to focus on valuations and business quality but the market has been ignoring the fundamental strength of many stocks and has been rewarding lower volatility areas and growth. These two areas of the market have been becoming ever more expensive as the market continues to bid up previous stock price winners. This market preference for growth stocks has made it more difficult for more contrarian strategies to outperform.

Positioning within emerging markets overall was a drag on relative performance although our underweight allocation to the underperforming Latin America region was positive for relative returns. The Fund’s positioning within the materials sector detracted from relative returns. Our exposure to commodity sensitive stocks, particularly in mining, had a negative asset allocation effect on the Fund. We prefer the larger, lower cost, diversified miners and see these as a significant value opportunity, but the market has so far maintained its focus on previous winners. Stock selection within utilities also weighed on relative performance. Consumer staples detracted over the year as investors continued to pay up for the stability of large European food & drink companies.

The portfolio benefited from stock selection within continental Europe. Our holdings in European autos were a particular highlight, notably towards the end of the period as our preference for component makers over larger manufacturers paid off in the wake of the Volkswagen emissions scandal. At sector level, stock selection within financials made the greatest positive contribution to relative returns. In Europe, positioning within both complex and simple banks supported Fund performance as the Fund was rewarded for our focus on better quality banks with strong balance sheets at attractive valuations.  Our preference for higher quality insurance companies in the UK was another positive contributor to relative returns, as was our low exposure to Australian banks which lagged the market.

Outlook

We remain underweight defensives as the market continues to place high valuations on these sectors. The strong performance of healthcare led us to take profits in these areas and reinvest within certain consumer staples that have not enjoyed the sentiment of other defensive areas of the market. Within utilities and telecoms we are still focused on stocks where dividends are well covered by cash flows coupled with reasonable balance sheets in both developed and emerging markets.

25

Our exposure to technology stocks is focused on cheap and higher quality names. Within consumer discretionary, we continue to maintain exposure across a broad range of industries. We have taken profits within several media companies that have performed well. These profits have been reinvested into machinery companies within industrials, where recent sharp falls in Europe have opened up a number of opportunities. Our focus within consumer discretionary and industrials remains those stocks with a track record of producing strong cash flows that are trading at depressed valuations.

We have maintained our overweight position in materials, preferring high quality companies trading on depressed valuations. Mining stocks form the highest exposure within materials where we like the larger, lower cost, diversified miners best. Similarly, within energy we are avoiding the higher cost producers, such as Canadian oil sands, that we think are likely to be impacted to a greater extent by continued oil price pressure.

Within financials we have for a long time benefited from a high allocation to insurance stocks. However, some valuations in our view offer limited upside and we have been steadily taking profits. Elsewhere, we have taken advantage of recent volatility and added deep value European complex banks and a number of Asian-focused simple banks which we view as having been oversold.

(1)Transfers between investment levels may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes.  The Fund generally recognizes transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the period.  As of October 31, 2015, the Fund had securities with a total value of $19,752,230 transfer from Level 1 to Level 2. The change in level occurred due to developments that occurred between the time of closing of the foreign markets on which those securities trade and the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange. Additionally, the Fund had securities with a total value of $13,073 transfer from Level 1 to Level 2 and had a security with a total value of $2,516 transfer from Level 1 to Level 3. The changes occurred due to a halt in trading of these securities.

(2)A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets.

(1)Transfers between investment levels may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes.  The Fund generally recognizes transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the period.  As of October 31, 2015, the Fund had securities with a total value of $283,870,606 transfer from Level 1 to Level 2. The change in level occurred due to developments that occurred between the time of closing of the foreign markets on which those securities trade and the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange. Additionally, the Fund had securities with a total value of $58,304 transfer from Level 1 to Level 2 and had a security with total value of $9,416 transfer from Level 1 to Level 3. The changes occurred due to a halt in trading of these securities.

(2)A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

Schroder Global Series Trust (“SGST”) is an open-end series management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). SGST was organized as a business trust under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts on May 27, 2003. SGST has an unlimited number of authorized shares, which consists of one diversified series: Schroder North American Equity Fund (a “Fund,” the “Fund”).

Schroder Capital Funds (Delaware) (“SCFD”) is an open-end series management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act. SCFD was organized as a Maryland corporation on July 30, 1969; reorganized as Schroder Capital Funds, Inc., a series company, on February 29, 1988; and reorganized on January 9, 1996, as a Delaware business trust. SCFD has an unlimited number of authorized shares, which are divided into two separate diversified series: Schroder U.S. Opportunities Fund and Schroder International Alpha Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “SCFD Funds”).

Schroder Series Trust (“SST”) is an open-end series management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act. SST was organized as a business trust under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts on May 6, 1993. SST has an unlimited number of authorized shares, which are divided into thirteen separate series. Included in this report are Schroder U.S. Small and Mid-Cap Opportunities Fund, Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund, Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Cap Equity Fund, Schroder Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund and Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund (each a “Fund,” collectively, the “SST Funds,” and together with the SCFD Funds and the SGST Fund, the “Funds”), all of which are diversified funds.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds, which are in conformity with U.S. GAAP:

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS: Each Fund calculates the net asset value of its classes of shares by dividing the total value of its assets attributable to that class, less its liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. Each Fund values its shares as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) each day the Exchange is open. Portfolio securities listed on recognized stock exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the securities are principally traded, except that NASDAQ official closing prices for all NASDAQ National Market and NASDAQ Small Cap Market Securities are used, where applicable. Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value in accordance with the valuation procedures of SST, SGST and SCFD (the “Trusts”). Securities for which market values are not readily available, or for which Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA”) believes the market value is unreliable (including, for example, certain foreign securities, thinly-traded securities, IPOs, or securities whose values may have been affected by a particular event), are valued by SIMNA at their fair values pursuant to procedures adopted by the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts. It is possible that fair value prices will be used by a Fund to a significant extent. The value determined for an investment using the Funds’ fair value guidelines may differ from recent market prices for the investment. Certain securities are valued at fair value on the basis of valuations furnished by broker-dealers or other market intermediaries. Market quotations are not readily available for many bonds (excluding most U.S. Treasury securities), certain preferred stocks, tax-exempt securities and certain foreign securities. Such securities are generally fair valued.

Debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents.  Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded.  The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market values for such securities.  Such methodologies generally consider factors such as comparable security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities in arriving at valuations.  On the first day a new debt security purchase is recorded, if a price is not available on the automated pricing feeds from a Trust’s primary and secondary pricing vendors nor is it available from an independent broker, the security may be valued at its purchase price.  Each day thereafter, the debt security will be valued according to the Trusts’ fair value procedures until an independent source can be secured.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2015

All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market.  If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used.  In the event such market quotations are not readily available, the security will be valued according to the Trusts’ fair value procedures.  Exchange traded options, including options on indices, are generally valued at the composite mean price or, in the absence of such a mean price, long positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short positions are valued at the most recent ask price.  Options not traded on a securities exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most recently reported mid-market price.  Rights and warrants are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded. Futures are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of exchange on which they are principally traded.  On days when there is excessive volume or market volatility, the settlement price may not be available at the time at which the Funds calculate their net asset values. On such days, the best available price (which is typically the last sales price) may be used to value the Funds’ futures positions. If rights and warrants are not traded on a particular day, intrinsic value may be used to value the security.  Otherwise, the security will be valued according to the Trusts’ fair value procedures.  Swaps held by the Funds are valued primarily using valuations from independent pricing services, if the swap is not centrally cleared.  In the case of a swap that is centrally cleared, it may be valued at the valuation used by the clearing organization in its determination of applicable margin amounts for the swap.  If no valuation is available using these methods, then valuations can be sought from brokers, or if no broker quotations are available, from the swap counterparty or by reference to daily quoted values for the indices or securities upon which the swap is valued.  In the absence of the above, SIMNA’s Pricing Committee (the “Committee”) will determine an appropriate method of valuation, subject to the Trusts’ fair value procedures. The Committee is comprised of officers of the Funds and SIMNA and other responsible personnel of SIMNA.  Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued in accordance with the Trusts’ fair value procedures. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; or the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security’s last trade and the time at which a Fund calculates its net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market values at the time a Fund calculates its net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last trade and the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If a Fund becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates its net asset value, a Committee meeting may be called.

Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund, Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Cap Equity Fund, Schroder Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Schroder International Alpha Fund and Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund use a third-party fair valuation vendor, which provides a fair value for securities of companies located in countries outside the Western Hemisphere held by the Funds based on certain factors and methodologies applied by the vendor in the event that there is movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold established by the Committee in consultation with the Trustees. Such methodologies generally involve tracking valuation correlations between the U.S. market and each non-U.S. security. The Committee also determines a “confidence interval” that will be used, when the threshold is exceeded, to determine the level of correlation between the value of a foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security will be fair valued. In the event that the threshold established by the Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Funds will typically value such securities in their portfolios that exceed the applicable confidence interval based upon the fair values provided by the vendor. A security whose value is adjusted in this manner will be classified as a Level 2 security in the fair value hierarchy.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and requires disclosure surrounding the various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

·Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

·Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

·Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

For the purpose of this Fair Value Measurement summary, instruments that have been fair valued by a third-party vendor as discussed above for Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund, Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Cap Equity Fund, Schroder Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Schroder International Alpha Fund and Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund, are generally considered Level 2 instruments.  The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For the year or period ended October 31, 2015, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies. Fair value measurement classifications are summarized in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the intention of each Fund to qualify, or continue to qualify, as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If a Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company that is accorded special tax treatment, the Fund will not be subject to Federal income taxes to the extent that, among other things, it distributes substantially all of its taxable income, including realized capital gains, for the fiscal year in a timely manner, to its shareholders in the form of dividends. In addition, as a result of distributing substantially all of their net investment income during each calendar year, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Funds will not be subject to a Federal excise tax. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely than-not” (i.e., greater than 50%) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

As of, and during the period ended October 31, 2015, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any tax-related interest or penalties.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS: Investment security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost. Capital gain taxes on securities in certain foreign countries are accrued on unrealized appreciation and are due when realized.

INVESTMENT INCOME: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend income is recorded net of unrecoverable withholding tax. Interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis. Foreign dividend and interest income amounts and realized capital gains or losses are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates in effect at the date of the transactions. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of costs of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered non-taxable distributions or capital gain distributions.

EXPENSES: Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Many of the expenses of the Funds can be directly attributable to a specific Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a specific Fund are allocated among the Funds based on relative average net assets or another appropriate methodology. Class specific expenses are borne by that class. Fund expenses are pro-rated to the respective classes based on relative net assets.

CLASSES OF SHARES: Income, realized and unrealized gains and losses of a Fund are prorated to the respective classes of shares based on relative net assets.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually for each of the Funds, except Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Cap Equity Fund and Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund, which declares and distribute dividends to shareholders from net investment income and distributes these dividends quarterly.

OFFERING COSTS: During the year ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund commenced operations and incurred offering costs of $34,169.  SIMNA absorbed all of the offering costs for the Schroder Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund. The amount absorbed by SIMNA is included in “Offering Costs” and “Reimbursement from Investment Advisor” on the Statement of Operations.

FOREIGN CURRENCY: Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as follows: (i) assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange at the end of the respective period; and (ii) purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of such transactions. The portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates and the portion due to fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities are not isolated. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to protect the U.S. dollar value of the underlying portfolio of securities against the effect of possible adverse movements in foreign exchange rates. Certain Funds may also seek to gain currency exposure or otherwise attempt to increase a Fund’s total return by holding such forward foreign currency contracts. Principal risks associated with such transactions include the movement in value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform. Fluctuations in the value of such forward foreign currency transactions are recorded daily as unrealized gain or loss; realized gain or loss includes net gain or loss on transactions that have terminated by settlement or by the Funds entering into offsetting commitments.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES: Certain Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis during the period covered by this report. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase a security for a predetermined price or yield, with payments and delivery taking place more than seven days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement period for that type of security. These transactions may increase the overall investment exposure for a Fund (and so may create investment leverage) and involve a risk of loss if the value of the securities declines prior to the settlement date.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES: Certain Funds may invest in securities that are convertible into preferred and common stocks, and so subject to the risks of investments in both debt and equity securities. The market value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, tends to increase as interest rates decline. In addition, because of the conversion feature, the market value of convertible securities tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying preferred and common stocks and, therefore, also will react to variations in the general market for equity securities.

FUTURES: Financial futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices; changes in initial settlement value (represented by cash paid to or received from brokers as “variation margin”) are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When futures contracts are closed, the difference between the opening value at the date of purchase and the value at closing is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations.

Futures contracts are generally utilized in order to hedge against unfavorable changes in the value of securities or otherwise to attempt to increase a Fund’s total return. Futures contracts involve leverage and are subject to market risk that may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible significant movements in prices. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds to the value of the securities or other index or amount underlying the contracts, but may not precisely correlate with the change in value of such securities or other index or amount. In addition, there is the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

CUSTODY OFFSET: The Funds have an arrangement with the custodian whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used to offset a portion of the custodian fees. The amounts are included in custodian fees and custody offset on the Statements of Operations.

Effective January 29, 2005, as amended January 1, 2013, Schroder North American Equity Fund pays SEI a fee, computed and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.013% of the Schroder North American Equity Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.005% of Schroder North American Equity Fund’s average daily net assets over $1 billion.

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act that allows each Fund to pay distribution and other fees with respect to its Advisor Shares. Under the Plan, a Fund may make payments at an annual rates of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to their Advisor Shares to compensate SFA for distribution services and certain shareholder services with respect to the Funds’ Advisor Shares, except for Schroder North American Equity Fund, which may make payments at an annual rate of up to 0.35% of the average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Shares.

Effective December 19, 2014, each Fund has adopted a shareholder service plan (the “Plan”) with respect to its Advisor Shares and Investor Shares. Under the Plan, each Fund, except Schroder North American Equity Fund, may make payments out of the assets attributable to its Advisor Shares or its Investor Shares to SIMNA, SFA, the Funds’ distributor, and such other entities as may from time to time act as the shareholder servicer of such class for providing services and/or incurring expenses directly or indirectly supporting or relating to the shareholder servicing function for Advisor Shares and Investor Shares as compensation for such services and expenses. Payments under the Plan are made at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of a Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the applicable share class; payments under the Plan are not made for distribution services or expenses. This payment is in addition to payments made under the Funds’ 12b-1 plans, if applicable. SIMNA, SFA, or any of their affiliates, may, from time to time, also make payments to financial intermediaries for sub-administration, sub-transfer agency, or other shareholder services or distribution, out of their own resources. Previously, each Fund, with respect to its Advisor Shares, was authorized to reimburse SIMNA, SFA, or their affiliates for a portion of payments related to sub-administration, sub-transfer agency, or other shareholder services; the amount of that reimbursement was limited to 0.10% of a Fund’s Advisor Shares’ average daily net assets.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” requires entities to disclose information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that have been offset or that are subject to enforceable master netting agreements.  The Funds do not offset such instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, rather such instruments are presented on a gross basis.

The following is a summary by derivative type of the market value of over the counter (“OTC”) financial derivative instruments and collateral (received)/pledged by counterparty as of October 31, 2015:

†Collateral pledged is limited to the net outstanding amount due to/from an individual counterparty. The actual collateral amounts pledged may exceed these amounts and may fluctuate in value.

‡Net amount represents the net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty in the event of default.  Exposure from OTC financial derivative instruments can only be netted across transactions governed under the same master agreement with the same legal entity.

NOTE 8 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. Any permanent differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to net operating loss, differing treatments for gains resulting from investments in passive foreign investment companies, reclassifications of long-term capital gain distributions on real estate investment trust securities, partnership investments, foreign currency transactions and utilization of equalization distribution on redemption. Distributions from short-term gains and from gains on foreign currency transactions are treated as distributions from ordinary income for tax purposes.

At October 31, 2015, the Funds reclassified the following permanent amounts between capital paid-in, undistributed net investment income and accumulated realized gain (loss):

	Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income			Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Realized Gain (Loss)			Increase (Decrease) Capital Paid-in

Deferred late-year losses represent ordinary losses realized on investment transactions from January 1, 2015 through October 31, 2015, that, in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, the Funds may elect to defer and treat as having arisen in the following fiscal year.

Each Fund may use its tax basis capital loss carryforwards listed above to offset taxable capital gains realized in subsequent years for federal income tax purposes, subject in some cases to certain limitations. If a Fund incurred net capital losses in a taxable year beginning on or before December 22, 2010, the date of enactment of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“pre-RlC Mod losses”), the Fund is permitted to carry such losses forward for eight taxable years; in the year to which they are carried forward, such losses are treated as short-term capital losses that first offset any short-term capital gains, and then offset any long-term capital gains. If a Fund incurs or has incurred net capital losses in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-RIC Mod losses”), those losses will be carried forward to one or more subsequent taxable years without expiration; any such carryforward losses

will retain their character as short-term or long-term. The Fund must use any post-RlC Mod losses, which will not expire, before it uses any pre-RIC Mod losses. This increases the likelihood that pre-RlC Mod losses will expire unused at the conclusion of the eight-year carryforward period.

NOTE 9 — PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT RISKS

Below are summaries of some, but not all, of the principal risks of investing in one or more of the Funds, each of which could adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, yield and total return. Each risk listed below does not necessarly apply to each Fund, and you should read each Fund’s prospectus carefully for a description of the principal risks associated with investing in a particular Fund.

Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund, Schroder Emerging Market Multi-Cap Equity Fund, Schroder Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Schroder International Alpha Fund and Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund have a relatively large portion of their assets invested in companies or issuers domiciled in particular foreign countries, including emerging markets. The Funds may be more susceptible to political, social and economic events adversely affecting those countries and such issuers.

Each of Schroder International Alpha Fund, Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund Fund, and Schroder Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in issuers located in any one country or group of countries. When a Fund invests in a foreign country, it is susceptible to a range of factors that could adversely affect its holdings in issuers of that country, including political and economic developments and foreign exchange-rate fluctuations. As a result of investing substantially in a single country, the value of the Fund’s assets may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a comparable fund with a lesser degree of

geographic concentration. The Funds may invest in countries with limited or developing capital markets. Investments in these markets may involve greater risk than investments in more developed markets.

Schroder North American Equity Fund, Schroder U.S. Opportunities Fund, Schroder U.S. Small and Mid Cap Opportunities Fund, Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund, Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Cap Equity Fund, Schroder Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Schroder International Alpha Fund and Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund may enter into derivative transactions including futures contracts, options, and swap contracts. Derivatives are financial contracts whose values depend on, or derive from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or index. A Fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk, and the risk that a derivative transaction may not have the effect the Funds’ adviser anticipated. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Derivative transactions typically involve leverage and may be highly volatile. Use of derivatives other than for hedging purposes may be considered speculative and may have the effect of creating investment leverage, and when a Fund invests in a derivative instrument it could lose more than the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that a Fund will engage in these transactions when that would be beneficial. Additional principal risks for the Funds can be found in the prospectus.

NOTE 10 — BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The following table shows the number of shareholders each owning of record, or to the knowledge of the Funds beneficially, 5% or more of shares of a Fund outstanding as of October 31, 2015 and the total percentage of shares of the Fund held by such shareholders. The table includes omnibus accounts that hold shares on behalf of many shareholders.

One account shown above holding 61.63% of the Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Cap Equity Fund and one account shown above holding 99.83% of the Schroder Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, are owned by an affiliate of SIMNA.

NOTE 11 — LINE OF CREDIT

The Funds entered into a credit agreement on October 6, 2008, as amended from time to time, that enables them to participate in a $50 million committed revolving line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.  Any advance under the line of credit is contemplated primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, or to finance the redemption of the shares of a shareholder of the borrower. Interest is charged to the Funds based on their borrowings at the current reference rate. The Funds pay their pro rata portion of an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on the total amount of the credit facility. For the year ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder North American Equity Fund utilized the line of credit for $1,487,749 for a period of 4 days paying interest of $233, the Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund utilized the line of credit for $8,393,258 for a period of 1 day paying interest of $432 and $3,070,000 for a period of 1 days paying interest of $122, the Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Cap Equity Fund utilized the line of credit for $241,778 for a period of 4 days paying interest of $38 and the Schroder International Alpha Fund utilized the line of credit for $563,041 for a period of 4 days paying interest of $88 and $1,070,000 for a period of 2 days paying interest of $86, which is included in the Statement of Operations as custody expense.

NOTE 13 — LITIGATION

In May 2011, “Schroders U.S. Mutual Funds” was served with a summons and complaint in an action brought by Edward S. Weisfelner, as Litigation Trustee of the LB Litigation Trust in the case captioned Weisfelner v. A. Holmes & H. Holmes TTEE, et al. (Adv. Pro. No. 10-5525) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.) (the “Litigation Trust Action”). In January 2012, “Schroders U.S. Mutual Funds” was served with a summons and complaint in an action brought by Edward S. Weisfelner, as trustee of the LB Creditors Trust, in the case captioned Weisfelner v. Fund 1 et al. (Adv. Pro. No. 10-04609) (the “Creditors Trust Action”). Both litigations sought to recover all payments made to shareholders in the December 2007 leveraged buyout of Lyondell Chemical Company as alleged fraudulent transfers.  On January 8, 2015, following a widely-circulated settlement offer by the plaintiffs and a consideration by the Board of Trustees, Schroder North American Equity Fund entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in the litigations pursuant to which the Fund paid $204,542.  As a result, all claims against Schroder North American Equity Fund were dismissed pursuant to notices of dismissals dated January 23, 2015.

Information Regarding Review and Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (unaudited)

RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR THE SCHRODER MUTUAL FUNDS

The advisory and subadvisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) for Schroder North American Equity Fund, Schroder U.S. Opportunities Fund, Schroder U.S. Small and Mid-Cap Opportunities Fund, Schroder Emerging Market Equity Fund, Schroder International Alpha Fund, Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund, and Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Cap Equity Fund (collectively, the “Existing Funds”) are subject to annual approval by the Trustees of the Funds.  The Trustees meet over the course of the year with investment advisory personnel from Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA”) and regularly review detailed information regarding the investment program and performance of each Fund. The Trustees met in June 2015 to consider the continuation of the Advisory Agreements in respect of the Funds for the following year and amendments to the subadvisory agreements. At the same meeting, the Trustees considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements in respect of Schroder Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund (the “New Fund,” together with the Existing Funds, the “Funds”) for an initial two-year period. The Trustees considered a number of factors, though they did not identify any one particular factor alone that they considered determinative. Factors considered by the Trustees included those described below, among others.

With respect to the Existing Funds, the Trustees considered the overall nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by SIMNA, and the services provided by Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (“SIMNA Ltd.”) as sub-advisor to the Emerging Market Equity Fund, the International Multi-Cap Value Fund, the North American Equity Fund, the International Alpha Fund, and the Emerging Markets Multi-Cap Equity Fund pursuant to subadvisory agreements (the “Existing Subadvisory Agreements”) between SIMNA and SIMNA Ltd. They also considered the non-advisory services provided by affiliates of SIMNA. In this regard, the Trustees took into account, among other things, the experience of the respective Funds’ portfolio management teams and of SIMNA’s senior management.

The Trustees reviewed the information provided by SIMNA and compiled by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) showing a comparison of SIMNA’s fee rate for each Fund, as well as each Fund’s expense ratio, compared to a peer group of mutual funds selected independently by Lipper having similar objectives, strategies, asset sizes, and distribution channel as the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information as to brokerage commissions for each Fund as compared to peer group funds. In reviewing the performance information provided by Lipper, the Trustees considered both short term and longer term performance.

With respect to the North American Equity Fund, the Trustees considered that the management fee and total fund expenses for the Fund are low compared to its peer group, with contractual and actual management fees each ranking first out of seventeen peer group funds, and Investor Shares and Advisor Shares total expenses each ranking in the first quintile as measured by Lipper compared to peer group funds. The Trustees noted that the North American Equity Fund’s performance for the five year period was in the second quintile for Investor Shares and in the third quintile for Advisor Shares. For the one year and three year periods, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance compared to its peer group was in the third quintile for each of Investor and Advisor Shares.  The Trustees determined that the Fund’s management fee did not appear unreasonable in light of the information provided.

With respect to the International Multi-Cap Value Fund, the Trustees considered that the management fee and total fund expenses for the Fund were competitive, with contractual and actual management fees ranking tenth and fourth, respectively, out of fifteen peer group funds. They noted that Investor Shares’ total expense ranking was in the second quintile among its peer funds while Advisor Shares’ total expense ranking was in the fourth quintile. The Trustees noted that the Lipper reports included only two funds in the performance peer group due to the lack of international multi-cap value funds in the group and that the International Multi-Cap Value Fund was the higher performer between the two funds. The Trustees noted that compared to its broader comparative performance universe (all retail and institutional international multi-cap value funds, regardless of size or primary distribution channel), the International Multi-Cap Value Fund had generally performed well, with performance in the first and second quintiles for Investor and Advisor Shares, respectively, over the one year period and in the first quintile for both Investor and Advisor Shares over the five year period. The Trustees determined that the Fund’s management fee did not appear unreasonable in light of the information provided.

With respect to the U.S. Opportunities Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s total expenses were in the third and fifth quintiles for Investor and Advisor Shares, respectively, and that the contractual management fee and actual management fee were each in the fourth quintile compared to the Fund’s peer group.  The Trustees noted that the U.S. Opportunities Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for the prior one year period, the second quintile for the prior two year period, and the third quintile for the prior three year period for both Investor Shares and Advisor Shares. The Trustees noted that SIMNA had recently taken steps to add resources to the management team for the U.S. Opportunities Fund and to refine its investment strategy, and noted that the Fund’s performance has

105

Schroder Mutual Funds

Information Regarding Review and Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (unaudited) — (continued)

been improving in recent periods.  The Trustees also noted that the U.S. Opportunities Fund had recently re-opened to new investors.  The Trustees concluded that, in light of the information provided, the Fund’s management fees, and the Fund’s total expense ratios, did not appear unreasonable.

As to the U.S. Small and Mid Cap Opportunities Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was in the fifth quintile compared to its peer group, but the actual management fee paid was in the second quintile compared to its peer group, given the competitive expense reimbursement arrangement.  The Trustees considered that the Fund’s total expenses of the Investor Shares and Advisor Shares were in the second and fourth quintile, respectively, compared to its peer group.  They noted the Fund’s five year performance compared to its peer universe was in the fifth quintile for both Investor and Advisor Shares, although recent performance was improved. Specifically, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the second quintile and third quintile for Investor and Advisor Shares, respectively, for the three year period but in the third and fourth quintile for Investor and Advisor Shares, respectively, for the most recent one year period. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the information provided, the Fund’s management fees, and the Fund’s total expense ratios, did not appear unreasonable.

As to the International Alpha Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s total expenses were in the first quintile for Investor Shares compared to the Fund’s peer group but in the third quintile for Advisor Shares.  The Trustees also noted that the contractual management fee was in the third quintile, while the actual management fee was in the fourth quintile. The Trustees considered that the Fund performed first among its peer group of three funds during the five year period for both Investor and Advisor Shares but that it had performed last among its peer group for the most recent calendar year. The Trustees determined that the Fund’s management fee did not appear unreasonable in light of the information provided, although they noted they would continue to monitor the Fund’s performance closely going forward in light of the recent relative underperformance versus its peer group.

With respect to the Emerging Market Equity Fund, the Trustees noted that the contractual and actual management fees were in line with the Fund’s peer group, with each ranking seventh out of fifteen peers.  They also noted that total expenses were in the first quintile and the third quintile for Investor Shares and Advisor Shares, respectively, compared to the Fund’s peer group.  The Trustees considered that the Fund performed in the third quintile for most of the periods for both Investor and Advisor Shares but that Advisor Shares had performed in the fourth quintile for the two year period and both Investor and Advisor Shares performed in the second quintile for the period since inception. The Trustees determined that the management fee did not appear unreasonable in light of the information provided.

For the Emerging Markets Multi-Cap Equity Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund ranked in the fourth quintile for contractual management fees but that it ranked in the first quintile for actual management fees (first out of fifteen peer funds) due to a competitive expense reimbursement arrangement. The Trustees noted that total expenses ranked in the first and third quintiles for Investor and Advisor Shares, respectively. The Trustees considered that the Fund had a relatively short operating history but that it ranked in the second quintile for performance for each of the periods shown for both Investor and Advisor Shares. The Trustees determined that the management fee did not appear unreasonable in light of the information provided.

The Independent Trustees found that the advisory and administrative fees charged by SIMNA to the Existing Funds appeared reasonable in relation to the services provided.  They noted that SIMNA generally charges lower fees to third party mutual funds for which SIMNA serves as sub-adviser.  They considered reasons cited by SIMNA management for the differences between the fees charged to the Funds and to those third party mutual funds, including, among other things, the fact that the services and resources required of SIMNA where it sub-advises mutual funds sponsored by others are substantially less than in the case of the Funds, since many of the compliance and regulatory responsibilities related to the management function, among other things, are retained in part by the primary adviser.  In addition, the Trustees noted that in many cases the fees charged to SIMNA’s separate account clients are lower than those charged to the Funds.  They considered the statements by representatives of SIMNA that this is primarily due to the fact that the compliance, legal, and administrative burdens of providing investment advice to mutual funds exceed those required to provide advisory services to non-mutual fund clients and that management of public mutual funds generally subjects SIMNA and SIMNA Ltd. to increased regulatory and enterprise risk.  They also noted that the Funds require the resources necessary to conduct daily valuation and to satisfy liquidity requirements, which is not necessarily the case for separate account clients.

106

Schroder Mutual Funds

Information Regarding Review and Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (unaudited) — (concluded)

The Trustees considered the information regarding the profitability of the Existing Funds’ advisory arrangements to SIMNA.  They noted that, as the Existing Funds have grown in recent years, the levels of profitability to SIMNA have also increased, although SIMNA continues for most of the Existing Funds to bear the cost of expense limitations for the Existing Funds.  The Trustees noted that they had had a discussion with management regarding the methodologies used for allocating expenses in calculating SIMNA profitability.  The Trustees determined that the levels of profitability did not appear inappropriate or unreasonable at this time.  They considered whether economies of scale would likely be realized as the Existing Funds grow and whether a reduction in the advisory fees paid by the Existing Funds by means of breakpoints would be appropriate.  They concluded, in light of the sizes of the Existing Funds and their expected growth rates and current levels of profitability to SIMNA, that it did not appear appropriate at this point for breakpoints to be implemented, although the Trustees noted that, if the Existing Funds continue to grow at current rates, it might become appropriate in the future to implement breakpoints with respect to at least some number of the Existing Funds.

In reviewing the amendments to the Existing Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees considered that the amendments reflected a reallocation of the advisory fees between SIMNA and SIMNA Ltd.  They noted that, under the Existing Subadvisory Agreements, SIMNA currently pays to SIMNA Ltd. a monthly fee in an amount that varies for each Fund sub-advised by SIMNA Ltd. They noted that Schroders plc and its affiliates (“Schroders”) reviews the allocation periodically with consideration given to the cost allocation and fee-setting functions of an internal transfer pricing policy, which is designed to allocate costs and revenues across the various companies within the Schroders organization appropriately over time.  They noted the transfer pricing policy had recently been updated.  The Trustees found that the proposed fee reallocations did not appear unreasonable.

As to the New Fund, the Trustees reported that they were prepared to approve the proposed contractual arrangements. The Trustees considered the overall nature, extent, and quality of the services expected to be provided by SIMNA and SIMNA Ltd. and the non-advisory services provided by affiliates of SIMNA. The Trustees considered the experience of the New Fund’s portfolio management team and of SIMNA’s senior management, and the time and attention expected to be devoted by each to the New Fund. The Trustees considered that the New Fund’s contractual arrangements would be substantially similar to those currently in place and that the share classes offered would consist of share classes that are already available in certain of the Existing Funds. The Trustees considered that, as compared to the fees for peer funds as presented in the materials, the proposed fees, including advisory fees and total expenses, were within the range of peer funds’ fees. With respect to the New Fund, the Trustees had discussed the additional time and resources that SIMNA and SIMNA Ltd. would be required to dedicate to the Fund due to its emphasis on small capitalization emerging market issuers. The Trustees considered the information presented regarding the fees charged by SIMNA to provide similar investment strategies to other clients, and found the fees proposed for the New Fund to be generally in line. The Trustees also noted that, given the small size of the New Fund in its start-up phase and in light of the proposed expense limitations, the Trustees did not consider that the profitability of the New Fund to SIMNA was likely to be unreasonable, or that breakpoints or other similar steps should be implemented at this time. The Trustees noted they would continue to monitor economies of scale as the New Fund grows.

After considering all the information described above, the Trustees at the meeting, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Funds, SIMNA or SIMNA Ltd., unanimously voted to approve (i) the continuation of the Advisory Agreements in respect of each of the Existing Funds, including the advisory fees proposed in connection with that continuation, (ii) the amendments to the Existing Subadvisory Agreements, and (iii) the Advisory Agreements of the New Fund, including the advisory fees proposed in connection with that approval.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited)

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Schroder Mutual Fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include, among others, costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), and in the case of Advisor Shares, distribution (12b-1) fees. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The table below illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways.

·Actual expenses. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers, if applicable, that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the fourth column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

·Hypothetical example for comparison purposes. This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a return of 5% before expenses during the year, and that it incurred expenses at the rate of which it in the past did incur expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results may not be used to estimate the actual ending balance of an account in the Fund over the period or expenses you actually paid. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses in this table based on a 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as redemption fees, which are described in the Prospectus. If this fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher.

Dear Shareholder:

The financial news over the Funds’ last fiscal year was littered with headlines surrounding China’s economic slowdown, the global commodities glut — namely copper and oil — and speculation as to the timing and magnitude of the Fed’s first rate hike, all of which led to heightened levels of volatility in the market.  For example, economic concerns plagued virtually all assets in August and September, followed by an impressive recovery in October for most risk assets. Notwithstanding these short-term fluctuations, a recovering U.S. economy generally enabled U.S. stocks to advance for the year. Similarly, central bank and policy intervention greatly benefitted Japanese stocks and helped many European equity markets overcome losses from earlier in the period.

From an asset allocation standpoint, U.S. fixed income securities were impacted by the rate debate as long-duration taxable and municipal debt fared better than short-duration debt. Meanwhile, international bonds generally underperformed as Central Bank intervention led to heightened yield volatility. Indeed, during the second quarter, some European sovereign issuers briefly issued debt with a negative carry (or yield), only to see those yields rise to 2015 highs weeks later.

Higher-quality bonds generally outperformed their lower-quality counterparts as liquidity concerns and weakness among energy prices impacted the high-yield market. Among sectors, the emerging markets (“EM”) were especially hard hit as the current environment, characterized by a strong dollar and weak commodities, led to one of the worst drawdown periods on record for both EM equities and debt. It is worth noting, however, that both EM equities and debt generally rebounded in October, in what may be a sign that broad economic and structural concerns could soon reach an inflection point.

Over the next six months, we expect market volatility to persist as investor confidence oscillates from concerns over rising interest rates, a potential global economic slowdown and the impact of low energy prices. While we recognize that volatile markets can be trying, we believe that uncertainty creates opportunities for skilled investors. As a truly global investment firm, our economists and portfolio managers are well positioned to monitor developments, keeping a careful eye on market factors such as Chinese fiscal and monetary policy, expectations of higher short-term interest rates and liquidity concerns.

As we stated in the Funds’ Semi-Annual Report, we continue to believe that the investor who maintains a long-term investment posture with a diversified portfolio — both across asset classes and geographic borders — should be able to weather the bumpy periods while also capturing potential upside opportunities. With year-end upon us, it is a good time to consult with your financial advisor and review your long-term investment objectives and asset allocation.

We appreciate the confidence you place in Schroders and thank you for investing with us.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Hemenetz, CFA

President

Schroder Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder Broad Tax Aware Value Bond Fund (the “Fund”) gained 2.00% (Investor Shares), compared to an increase of 2.87% for the Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”).  On December 30, 2014, the Fund began to offer Advisor Shares, which gained 1.42% during the period from inception through October 31, 2015.

Market Backdrop

The market spent much of the past year hopping from one seemingly imminent disaster to the next, bringing volatility to fixed income markets that has not been seen for years.  With the collapse in the price of oil, a potential default of Greek debt, an actual default in Puerto Rico and spectacular volatility in China’s stock market, investors had a smorgasbord of woes to choose from this year. Overarching all of these events were concerns of slower global growth, the potential impact of a global slowdown on the stronger U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed’s”) much anticipated end to its zero rate policy.

After declining to a low of 1.64% in January, 10-year interest rates ended the year at about where they began at 2.14%. Short term rates followed a similar trend, but ended with two-year rates about 30 basis points higher. In September, the Fed surprised the market with its decision not to increase rates, citing continued weak inflation figures and concerns about heightened volatility.  Over the last several weeks, though, U.S. economic statistics have been stronger, and current market expectations are for the Fed to move in December to finally reduce the extremely accommodative monetary policy that has been in place since the financial crisis.

Performance in the fixed income market was not immune to global events. Ten-year treasury yields tracked lower throughout 2014 and into 2015 as investors sought a safe haven from all the turmoil in the rest of the world.  A couple of bright spots in fixed income were tax-exempt municipals and asset-backed securities (“ABS”). Tax-exempts continued their positive performance from 2014 as demand outstripped supply and fundamentals remained strong.  In the ABS sector, market demand for high quality risk assets supported prices.  Most other sectors of the market, however, struggled to generate positive excess returns. Strong new issuance trends and investor concerns over the U.S. rate hike drove investment grade credit spreads wider in the second and third quarter of 2015.  High yield bonds also suffered losses due mainly to the asset class’s relatively higher exposure to the energy sector, pushing yields to their highest levels since June 2012. Bonds in emerging markets were one of the worst performing sectors in fixed income, as continued weakness in commodity prices and fears over a slowdown in global growth caused local currency debt, especially sovereigns, to materially underperform. All told, 2015 turned out to be a very stressful year; a trend that appears unlikely to abate any time soon.

Portfolio Review

The Fund delivered positive absolute returns but underperformed the Index during the period. The Fund is not limited to investing solely in assets that generate tax-exempt income unlike the Index, which is composed entirely of tax-exempt municipal bonds.

The primary detractors from performance were the Fund’s allocations to taxable corporate industrials and financials. Within industrials, we had a favorable view on the outlook for several energy- and commodity-related issuers with strong balance sheets and capable management. While these positions underperformed in the third quarter as commodity prices dropped further, we have not changed our view of their fundamentals and remain comfortable with our positioning. Financials has been one of the better performing corporate sub-sectors in 2015 and we believe that companies in this sector should benefit from a less hostile regulatory environment and be relatively well-protected from M&A risk throughout the year.

The Fund benefited from positive security selection in municipals, which exhibited strong performance since last year into 2015 despite higher volatility due to headline risks and expectations of a rate hike by the Fed. Within municipals, we are bullish on the outlook of essential service revenue bonds, as we believe these bonds should be relatively protected from significant underfunded pension liabilities as compared to general obligation bonds. We also have a positive view on municipals that we believe are fundamentally sound but that have been unfairly tarred with a bad reputation, such as Chicago Transportation revenue bonds.

The Fund’s yield curve positioning also contributed to returns for the year. The modest barbell yield curve position was a positive driver as exposures at the long end benefitted from the rally in rates. This positioning helped mitigate the threat of rising rates as investors prepared for potential tightening action by the Fed.

Outlook

It has been our belief that a collection of factors including a deteriorating global growth outlook, continued weakness in commodity prices and the near-term prospect of rising rates would lead to higher levels of volatility across asset classes. Judging by recent events, it appears that our view has been borne out. Market expectations for a Fed rate hike in December are hovering near 50%, increasing after the strong October jobs report showing the addition of 271,000 jobs and the unemployment rate declining to 5%. However, any increase in rates must be judged against the broader economic conditions in the U.S., which continue to be one of the few bright spots globally, as Europe and Japan show negligible inflation and China grapples with a potentially alarming slowdown in growth. Barring any significant unforeseen shock to the U.S. economy, we see no reason why the Fed would delay acting much longer.

3

We continue to have strong conviction in the U.S. investment grade corporate bond market, especially in lower rated and long dated credit. We believe that current valuations in BBB-rated issuers are now trading at very attractive levels, partially due to the investors struggling to absorb over $1 trillion in issuance. Within corporates, we remain positive on the outlook for financial credit, as these issuers should continue to benefit from a supportive regulatory environment, higher capital levels and a lower M&A risk than other industries. We are also optimistic on industrial credit, especially select energy issuers. In this area we are targeting companies with strong balance sheets and capable management teams that trade at attractive valuations relative to their risk. In the securitized sector, we favor ABS, which we believe have more supportive fundamentals and valuations than agency mortgage-backed securities.

Despite the many uncertainties that plague the markets, we believe that investors are well compensated now for taking on risk in the bond market. While volatility has returned to the asset class, we believe this is primarily due to challenging market liquidity and investor sentiment rather than underlying fundamentals. In such an environment, our view is that careful sector and issuer selection will drive positive returns. As a result, we intend to continue to be opportunistic in adjusting the Fund’s positioning and risk profile over the next several months.  If investors are able to take a longer-term view to their investments and filter out all the noise spouted daily from the financial press, we believe they will be rewarded for their patience.

Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund (the “Fund”) declined -6.47% (Investor Shares) and -6.59% (Advisor Shares) compared to its blended benchmark (consisting of 1/3 JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, 1/3 JP Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index, and 1/3 JP Morgan CEMBI Broad Diversified Index, each of which is a broad-based basket of emerging market debt securities) (the “Index”), which declined -5.69%. On December 30, 2014, the Fund began to offer R6 shares, which fell -0.87% during the period from inception through October 31, 2015.

Market Background

Two major themes were at play during the reporting period:

A dramatic weakening of commodity prices, principally in response to lower economic growth from the world’s largest user of these goods — China.

A growing market realization that we were getting closer to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s “lift-off” of interest rate hikes.

At the time of this writing, base metals, copper, aluminum, and nickel are at lows for the year.  So are iron ore, steel and precious industry metals, such as platinum.  These trends are consistent with China slowing and overcapacity in metals industries, such as steel and aluminum, a weak global growth environment and a strong U.S. dollar. In essence, a wide swath of commodity exporting countries and companies had positioned their economies for a 7% Chinese GDP per annum into infinity. Now that this level of economic growth in China appears unrealistic (some reputable estimates have it at a little more than half that), many commodity exporters need to make significant adjustments.

These adjustments have often come in the form of: (1) reduced government spending to a level more in line with the prevailing price of the chief commodity in order to ameliorate budget deficits, and (2) a lower currency exchange rate that these governments are readily accepting in order to boost their level of exports.

We believe that the second point above is a welcome departure from previous stress times in emerging markets.  In the past, governments would often spend their foreign exchange reserves in an effort to protect the value of their currencies. Why have they departed from that strategy this time around? History has shown that this approach is generally futile, as countries ran low on reserves in this endeavor. Another key reason governments are allowing their currencies to depreciate is that there is very little inflation pass through being recorded in their economies at this time. Finally, some countries are doing this just to remain competitive with their trading partners, who are also allowing their currencies to drop.

Unlike developed economies, most affected emerging economies are tackling their fiscal issues head on, often out of necessity, but they are making positive strides nonetheless. To be sure, there may be a long adjustment period for certain economies to reflect the “new normal” in commodity price levels.  In our view, the local currency segment does not necessarily need perfect conditions to do well relative to other fixed income opportunities, but some stability in the level of emerging market currencies is required.

Portfolio Review

The Fund lagged the Index over the past twelve months.  The period began in the midst of a pronounced decline in commodities and markets collectively came to the realization that China would be importing far less and transitioning to a domestically-driven approach.  As the calendar turned to 2015, an equilibrium for commodity prices seemed to settle in, which was welcome news for a wide variety of commodity exporters and companies involved in this sector. At about that time we were sensing that two markets in particular, Brazil and Russia, had become oversold. We purchased hard currency sovereign issues in both of these countries, and were rewarded when the valuations of both of these countries normalized.

We were also rewarded early in 2015 when we decided to overweight investment-grade sovereign issues after their spread to U.S. Treasuries ballooned to 280+ basis points.  The historical magnitude of spread is approximately 210 basis points, and typically whenever this statistic hits an elevated level a mean reversion event is at hand. Sure enough, after we had placed our desired level of investment in these issues, spreads began to compress and we moved out of that overweight as they reverted to the historical average. The market is not always so inviting, but when we see an opportunity like that we try to take advantage.

Our positioning in Brazil was initially correct, but it turned against us in the summer of 2015 as economic growth continued to grind slower. Brazil suffers not only from slow economic growth, but from a paralyzed political process that has even surfaced the possibility of an impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff. At the time of this writing, those prospects seem remote, but even the serious mention of them shows how fractured the country is at the current time. We are focusing our corporate holdings in Brazil on those firms that earn significant revenue outside of the country.

The twelve-month period ended strongly as local currency provided a rally, which may be short-lived as the Federal Reserve appears ready to lift interest rates. Even if the U.S. dollar rises in response to the rate hikes, which would be bad news for local currency, we feel

6

as if we are reaching the end of a negative cycle for local currency investing that began with the so-called Taper Tantrum in the summer of 2013. Stability in this segment should be welcome news for all emerging market debt investors.

Outlook

We believe that market-based evidence is starting to show that the worst may be over in emerging market debt.  Of course, this remains an investment thesis that is subject to revision as additional evidence arises.  But there does seem room for this market to run:  valuations remain attractive despite a strong month of returns.  With the European Central Bank suppressing European bond yields and U.S. Treasuries well behaved, generous spreads on EM debt are suggesting an attractive total return proposition if the signs we are seeing continue to unfold.

It’s instructive to look at the three countries where asset class concerns have been centered.  In China, the currency appreciated steadily in October 2015 on the back of speculation that inclusion in the IMF’s SDR currency basket could induce some inflows.  The theory of an economic hard landing there continues to fade.  Indeed, our base case is lower growth, but not a depression-like scenario. The government still has many tools available to avoid a worst-case scenario, and we think they will generally be applied in an efficient manner.

In Russia, the ruble appreciated with a strong showing by oil and the central bank left rates steady despite a belief that inflation will fall rapidly next year — a credibility boosting move.  Meanwhile, foreign exchange reserves continue to be re-built and have risen about US$7 billion last month.  This may be challenged if oil posts a major leg downward from $40 per barrel, but as of now, we see a bottoming in the works for this economy.

In Brazil, growth remains extremely weak but impeachment fears seem to continue to diminish.  Fiscal numbers came in marginally better than expected.  In a tentative sign that the market has well-priced in the country’s problems, currency and interest rates have stabilized somewhat. We believe this country will have the longest workout of the three we are citing here, and we are in no way expecting a V-shaped recovery.  Still, a lower currency value should lead to a more competitive Brazilian economy, and an eventual recovery.

Schroder Global Strategic Bond Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder Global Strategic Bond Fund (the “Fund”) declined -5.20% (Investor Shares) and -5.51% (Advisor Shares) compared to an increase of 0.28% for the 3-month USD Fixed LIBOR Index (the “Index”), a widely used measure of short term cash returns. On December 19, 2014, the Fund began to offer R6 shares, which fell —3.29% during the period from inception through October 31, 2015.

Market Background

As 2014 came to an end, growth remained extremely weak and inflation had slipped into negative territory, at -0.2% in December. Investor expectations rose of European Central Bank (“ECB”) asset purchases being extended to ‘full quantitative easing (“QE”),’ incorporating sovereign and possibly corporate bonds. Steep declines in oil prices were added to the environment of prevalent policy accommodation. Inflation expectations moderated accordingly, and when combined with widespread policy slack, bonds enjoyed a decent year of returns.

In January, the ECB announced their QE initiative to inject 1.14 trillion into the economy. The news further weakened the value of the single currency. In the U.S., speculation on the timing of the first Federal Reserve (“Fed”) rate hike since the financial crisis persisted in Q1, but the central bank remained coy on timing given a marked absence of inflation. On a global basis, monetary policy remained very high or increased. The UK’s economic progress followed a similar path to that of the U.S. through Q1; UK data reflecting a robust economy, albeit expanding at a cooling rate.

In the opening half of Q2, a widespread reassessment of interest rate exposure led to an aggressive selloff in bonds most keenly felt at the longer end of the yield curve. In spite of ongoing fragility in macroeconomic data prints from the U.S., statements from the Fed that investors should expected a rate hike in 2015 pushed Treasury yields higher. In the UK, the story was much the same, though a more subdued set of comments from the Bank of England (“BoE”) meant that gilt markets were flat in May. Through this period, media news flows in Europe were focused on the breakdown of Greece’s debt talks, which were being held with the aim of ensuring that emergency funding remained available.

Despite positive third quarter macroeconomic developments in the U.S., the UK and the eurozone, news from China and other emerging economies led investors to seriously question the validity of the ongoing global economic recovery. In the U.S., growth remains strong but the Fed elected to leave the headline policy rate unchanged at its September meeting. The significance of central bank policy for bond investors was reaffirmed in October. Risk assets performed strongly, despite macroeconomic data offering little to elicit such optimism. The more hawkish tone struck by the Fed was interpreted by the market as putting a hike back on the table for December.

Portfolio Review

During the reporting period, the Fund’s U.S. duration stance was the biggest detractor from performance, but positive contributions from foreign exchange positioning and European duration offset some of this setback.

In general, we feel that the investment themes in place for the Fund properly described the macroeconomic progress of developed economies, but the implementation of these themes did not correctly capture the more bearish market sentiment arising from the slowdown in emerging growth. Central to this was our less bearish view on China and what appears to have been an altogether too rational approach to a fall in oil prices. This, coupled with an under appreciation of the sensitivity of central bankers to the cost of being early when normalizing monetary policy, led to our being positioned far ahead of the market.

In Q4 2014, the Fund held an underweight U.S. duration position, which underperformed during an environment where market demand for U.S. duration increased as the price of oil continued to fall. The resulting pressure on short-term U.S. inflation expectations drove the market to further delay prospects of U.S. interest rate normalization. The underweight U.S. duration position was built upon our assessment that the U.S. Federal reserve could increase interest rates ahead of market expectations due to continued improvement in the U.S. macroeconomic outlook. The ECB’s accommodative monetary policy continued to be supportive of the Fund’s long U.S. dollar versus the euro currency exposure.

While short positions in duration in both the U.S. and the UK were detractors to the Fund’s performance, they were partially offset by European duration exposure, with underweight positions at the longer end of the European curve being particularly positive in Q2, before switching to overweight European duration at the end of that quarter.  In addition, as an offset to the negative carry duration positions in U.S. and UK, the portfolio was long U.S. credit, particularly the longer end of the investment-grade credit curve with a view that the already steep 10-30 credit curve would flatten. We felt that there was more structural support as the longer end of the U.S. curve is a natural home for U.S. pension funds. We maintain our positive view on long-dated U.S. credit and are focused on identifying specific opportunities as they arise.

10

In October, we closed some of the long-end duration exposure in Europe and took a profit. In general, we still favor duration exposures from the short side, but on a more tactical basis than previously. We also believe it is prudent to leave some “powder dry” to take advantage of the value opportunities that tend to surface during the periodic bouts of volatility, which we expect may occur in this environment.

Meanwhile, carry positive long positions in Norwegian krone (NOK) and Mexican peso (MXN) underperformed over the period as concerns over the outlook for global growth increased.

Outlook

Overall, the themes reflected in our portfolio positioning thus far in 2015 have centered on the view that the world’s major economies have become less connected. In other words, we believe that globalization as a model has started to break down. Based on this idea, our view has been that central bank policies will diverge to allow for differing economic trajectories of stronger and weaker nations.

However, we also believe that, although globalization has begun to unravel, major central banks have become increasingly responsive to external economic factors when implementing domestic policy changes. Accordingly, it is our view that the ‘reaction function’ of central banks has become muddied. In such an environment, we believe that the potential for policy errors is increasingly high.

For example, the distortion that central banks can cause in markets was particularly noticeable in the differing September and October reactions to Fed comments, despite no actual policy changes being introduced.

A related concern for markets in the coming months is how a prolonged period of low interest rates may have allowed excess capacity to linger, rather than be destroyed. Low rates introduced after the financial crisis were designed to prevent potential damage from elevated debt levels. However, low rates can also lead to a corrosive misallocation of capital and a drag on productivity. For example, companies often use low interest rates to issue new bond issues to finance share buy-backs and dividend playouts, rather than creating constructive capacity.

Finally, the business cycle is becoming atypical, in our view. The ratio of return on investment to cost of capital has begun to fall, and although this is currently being offset by consumer strength, this would otherwise indicate an advanced phase of the cycle. We do not foresee a recession within the coming 12-18 months but, again, expect volatility to build periodically as areas of industry falter.

We do expect China’s economic deterioration to continue, but that it will likely remain under control. We believe that the Chinese government has both the political will and the policy tools available to avert a ‘hard landing’ and with it any ensuing financial crisis. Some sectors of the corporate bond market should be more sensitive to China’s deleveraging process than others, but we believe this should not, inherently, form a threat to structural stability.

Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund (the “Fund”) rose 0.94%, compared to the Barclays U.S. Long Government/Credit Bond Index (the “Index”), a broad-based basket of debt securities, which increased 1.28% during the same period.

Market Backdrop

The market spent much of the past year hopping from one seemingly imminent disaster to the next, bringing volatility to fixed income markets that has not been seen for years.  With the collapse in the price of oil, a potential default of Greek debt, an actual default in Puerto Rico and spectacular volatility in China’s stock market, investors had a smorgasbord of woes to choose from this year. Overarching all of these events were concerns of slower global growth, the potential impact of a global slowdown on the stronger U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed’s”) much anticipated end to its zero rate policy.

After declining to a low of 1.64% in January, 10-year interest rates ended the year at about where they began at 2.14%. Short term rates followed a similar trend, but ended with two-year rates about 30 basis points higher. In September, the Fed surprised the market with its decision not to increase rates, citing continued weak inflation figures and concerns about heightened volatility.  Over the last several weeks though, U.S. economic statistics have been stronger, and current market expectations are for the Fed to move in December to finally end the extremely accommodative monetary policy that has been in place since the financial crisis.

Performance in the fixed income market was not immune to global events. Ten-year treasury yields tracked lower throughout 2014 and into 2015 as investors sought a safe haven from all the turmoil in the rest of the world.  A couple of bright spots in fixed income were tax-exempt municipals and asset-backed securities (“ABS”). Tax-exempts continued their positive performance from 2014 as demand outstripped supply and fundamentals remained strong. In the ABS sector, market demand for high quality risk assets supported prices.  Most other sectors of the market, however, struggled to generate positive excess returns. Strong new issuance trends and investor concerns over the U.S. rate hike drove investment grade credit spreads wider in the second and third quarter of 2015.  High yield bonds also suffered losses due mainly to the asset class’s relatively high exposure to the energy sector, pushing yields to their highest levels since June 2012. Bonds in emerging markets were one of the worst performing sectors in fixed income, as continued weakness in commodity prices and fears over a slowdown in global growth caused local currency debt, especially sovereigns, to materially underperform. All told, 2015 turned out to be a very stressful year; a trend that appears unlikely to abate any time soon.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s performance was roughly in line with that of the Index for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015.

The largest contributor to returns during the period was the Fund’s overweight positioning to financial credit. Our thesis that this sector should benefit from a more-favorable regulatory environment and that issuers should be relatively more protected from M&A risk proved valid. This is a view we continue to maintain. The Fund’s securitized exposure was another bright spot, especially in ABS. We have been overweight ABS compared to mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) as we believe that these securities have relatively more supportive fundamentals and valuations, and this positioning helped performance, especially in the third quarter.

Underperformance in the Fund was mainly due to security selection in the corporate industrial sector. We had been overweight several issues from commodity and energy sensitive firms that we believe will be able to survive the recent dramatic drop in commodity prices. The Fund’s Treasuries positions also detracted, especially in the third quarter, as rates declined when the Fed surprised the market yet again and decided to delay the end of easy monetary policy.

Throughout 2015, the portfolio’s positioning remained essentially unchanged as we did not believe that the volatility that surfaced during the year would have a significant effect on the underlying fundamentals of our positions. Our view is that the recent weakness in the market has pushed select credit to attractive valuations; however, we remain mindful of the potential negative impact of decreased liquidity in the market and will continue to add risk cautiously.

Outlook

It has been our belief that a collection of factors including a deteriorating global growth outlook, continued weakness in commodity prices and the near-term prospect of rising rates would lead to higher levels of volatility across asset classes. Judging by recent events, it appears that our view has been borne out. Market expectations for a Fed rate hike in December are hovering near 50%, increasing after the strong October jobs report showing the addition of 271,000 jobs and the unemployment rate declining to 5%. However, any increase in rates must be judged against the broader economic conditions in the U.S., which continue to be one of the few bright spots globally, as Europe and Japan show negligible inflation and China grapples with a potentially alarming slowdown in growth. Barring any significant unforeseen shock to the U.S. economy, we see no reason why the Fed would delay acting much longer.

We continue to have strong conviction in the U.S. investment grade corporate bond market, especially in lower rated and long dated credit. We believe that current valuations in BBB-rated issuers are now trading at very attractive levels, partially due to the investors struggling to absorb over $1 trillion in issuance. Within corporates, we remain positive on the outlook for financial credit, as these issuers should continue to benefit from a supportive regulatory environment, higher capital levels and a lower M&A risk than other industries. We are also optimistic on industrial credit, especially select energy issuers. In this area we are targeting companies with strong balance sheets and capable management teams that trade at attractive valuations relative to their risk. In the securitized sector, we favor ABS, which we believe have more supportive fundamentals and valuations than agency mortgage-backed securities.

Despite the many uncertainties that plague the markets, we believe that investors are well compensated now for taking on risk in the bond market. While volatility has returned to the asset class, we believe this is primarily due to challenging market liquidity and investor sentiment rather than underlying fundamentals. In such an environment, our view is that careful sector and issuer selection will drive positive returns. As a result, we intend to continue to be opportunistic in adjusting the Fund’s positioning and risk profile over the next several months.  If investors are able to take a longer-term view to their investments and filter out all the noise spouted daily from the financial press, we believe they will be rewarded for their patience.

Schroder Short Duration Bond Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

The Schroder Short Duration Bond Fund (the “Fund”) commenced operations on August 26, 2015. During the period from inception through October 31, 2015, the Fund gained 0.22% (Investor Shares) and 0.25% (R6 Shares), compared to the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index (the “Index”), a widely used short-term bond proxy, which rose 0.09% during the same period.

Market Backdrop

The market spent much of the past year hopping from one seemingly imminent disaster to the next, bringing volatility to fixed income markets that has not been seen for years.  With the collapse in the price of oil, fears of a potential default of Greek and Puerto Rican debt and spectacular volatility in China’s stock market, investors had a smorgasbord of woes to choose from this year. Overarching all of these events were concerns of slower global growth, the potential impact of a global slowdown on the stronger U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed’s”) much anticipated end to its zero rate policy.

After declining to a low of 1.64% in January, 10-year interest rates ended the year at about where they began at 2.14%. Short term rates followed a similar trend, but ended with two-year rates about 30 basis points higher. In September, the Fed surprised the market with its decision not to increase rates, citing continued weak inflation figures and concerns about heightened volatility.  Over the last several weeks though, U.S. economic statistics have been stronger, and current market expectations are for the Fed to move in December to finally end the extremely accommodative monetary policy that has been in place since the financial crisis.

Performance in the fixed income market was not immune to global events. Ten-year treasury yields tracked lower throughout 2014 and into 2015 as investors sought a safe haven from all the turmoil in the rest of the world.  A couple of bright spots in fixed income were tax-exempt municipals and asset-backed securities (ABS). Tax-exempts continued their positive performance from 2014 as demand outstripped supply and fundamentals remained strong. In the ABS sector, market demand for high quality risk assets supported prices.  Most other sectors of the market, however, struggled to generate positive excess returns. Strong new issuance trends and investor concerns over the U.S. rate hike drove spreads in investment grade credit wider in the second and third quarter of 2015.  High yield bonds also suffered losses due mainly to the asset class’s relatively high exposure to the energy sector, pushing yields to their highest levels since June 2012. Bonds in emerging markets were one of the worst performing sectors in fixed income, as continued weakness in commodity prices and fears over a slowdown in global growth caused local currency debt, especially sovereigns, to materially underperform. All told, 2015 turned out to be a very stressful year; a trend that appears unlikely to abate any time soon.

Portfolio Review

The Fund modestly outperformed the Index for the period.

The Fund’s portfolio has been overweight industrial credit, which generally delivered negative excess returns against Treasuries in the third quarter but recovered in October due to increased stability in the commodities market. We remain confident on the fundamental outlook for industrial credit and have not materially changed our positioning as we believe the issuers possess strong balance sheets and are able to withstand a sustained weakness in commodity prices. Other positive contributors include the Fund’s ABS and financials positions and our yield curve strategy to overweight longer maturities, while the Fund’s duration positioning was a mild detractor.

We have not materially changed the positioning of the Fund over the past few months, as we believe that the uptick in volatility in the third quarter did not change credit market fundamentals. Recent market weakness has pushed valuations in select areas to attractive levels; however, we remain cognizant of the impact in decreased liquidity and will continue to add risk cautiously.

Outlook

It has been our belief that a collection of factors including a deteriorating global growth outlook, continued weakness in commodity prices and the near-term prospect of rising rates would lead to higher levels of volatility across asset classes. Judging by recent events, it appears that our view has been borne out. Market expectations for a Fed rate hike in December are hovering near 50%, increasing after the strong October jobs report showing the addition of 271,000 jobs and the unemployment rate declining to 5%. However, any increase in rates must be judged against the broader economic conditions in the U.S., which continue to be one of the few bright spots globally, as Europe and Japan show negligible inflation and China grapples with a potentially alarming slowdown in growth. Barring any significant unforeseen shock to the U.S. economy, we see little reason why the Fed would delay acting much longer.

We believe that current valuations in BBB-rated issuers are now trading at very attractive levels, partially due to the investors struggling to absorb over $1 trillion in issuance.

Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

During the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”) gained 0.30% (Investor Shares) and 0.05% (Advisor Shares), compared to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”), a broad-based basket of U.S. debt securities, which gained 1.96%.

Market Backdrop

The market spent much of the past year hopping from one seemingly imminent disaster to the next, bringing volatility to fixed income markets that has not been seen for years.  With the collapse in the price of oil, a potential default of Greek debt, an actual default in Puerto Rico and spectacular volatility in China’s stock market, investors had a smorgasbord of woes to choose from this year. Overarching all of these events were concerns of slower global growth, the potential impact of a global slowdown on the stronger U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed’s”) much anticipated end to its zero rate policy.

All told, 2015 turned out to be a very stressful year; a trend that appears unlikely to abate any time soon.

Portfolio Review

The Fund underperformed the benchmark for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015.

Much of the Fund’s underperformance can be attributed to unfavorable sector and security selection, specifically within industrial corporate credit. Holdings in several energy- and commodity- related industrial issuers underperformed the Index.  We continue to remain confident on the fundamental outlook for these credits, and have not materially changed our positioning as we believe the issuers possess strong balance sheets and are able to withstand a sustained weakness in commodity prices.

The Fund’s underweight duration positioning also detracted from performance during the year. While our expectation of a slow but steady recovery in the U.S. proved valid, our view of slightly rising rates due to the end of the Fed’s zero interest rate policy did not materialize.

The Fund’s securitized positioning contributed positively to performance with an underweight to mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and an overweight to ABS.  The Fund’s yield curve flattening bias and the opportunistic exposure to U.S. government securities also contributed positively to performance.

Outlook

It has been our belief that a collection of factors including a deteriorating global growth outlook, continued weakness in commodity prices and the near-term prospect of rising rates would lead to higher levels of volatility across asset classes. Judging by recent events, it appears that our view has been borne out. Market expectations for a Fed rate hike in December are hovering near 50%, increasing after the strong October jobs report showing the addition of 271,000 jobs and the unemployment rate declining to 5%.

Schroder Global Multi-Asset Income Fund

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As of December 4, 2015)

Performance

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder Global Multi-Asset Income Fund (the “Fund”) fell -6.00% (Investor Shares) and -6.32% (Advisor Shares). The blended benchmark index consisting of 70% JP Morgan Global Aggregate Bond Index, (a broad-based measure of global investment grade fixed-rate debt markets), and 30% MSCI ACWI, (a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets), (the “Index”) declined -1.39%. On December 30, 2014, the Fund began to offer R6 shares, which fell -4.63% since inception through the period ended October 31, 2015.

Market Background

The twelve-month period under review has been a challenging period for both equity and bond markets as exchange rates and heightened volatility played an important role. Global equities markets fretted about the extent of the economic slowdown in China and the rest of the emerging world, and what that might mean for global growth. The Federal Reserve (“Fed”) completed the tapering of its quantitative easing (“QE”) program at the start of the period, and thereafter investors tracked the timing of the first interest rate hike, after almost seven years of historical low rates. Multiple central banks, including the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of Japan, announced further easing measures to boost domestic faltering recovery. The Japanese QE program drove the yen lower against the U.S. dollar. Similarly, QE by the ECB weakened the euro, while simultaneously improving consumer confidence, serving as one of the primary drivers behind the improving growth outlook. Investor concerns about moderating global economic growth and geopolitical tensions were persistent over the period. Broadly speaking, emerging markets were adversely impacted by the Fed’s decision to end QE as the withdrawal of liquidity compounded an already challenging growth picture in these markets. Emerging markets felt the effects of a slowing China and falling commodity prices as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (USD) fell -14.5% during the period.

While the Fed remained cautious in its appraisal of the economy’s progress, speculation surrounding the rate hike remained well into the first quarter of 2015. U.S. equities underperformed their developed non-U.S. counterparts in the beginning of 2015 due to the increased uncertainty and stretched valuations. The decline in oil prices continued to weigh on sentiment amid concerns that the fall in prices was due to weaker global demand and OPEC left its output unchanged during its November 2014 meeting. As a result, commodity markets were particularly weak, with energy being the largest detractors. This move in oil prices also negatively affected the prices of bonds within the U.S. high yield market, as leveraged energy companies with declining or negative production margins formed a large portion of high yield issuance in recent periods. As the decline progressed, investors became increasingly concerned regarding widespread defaults within the sector, something that did not end up coming to fruition.

The first quarter of 2015 saw another period of yield compression in global bond markets. Speculation about the timing of the Fed’s rate hike remained. Treasury, Gilt and Bund yields broadly fell, particularly towards the longer end of the yield curve. In corporate bond markets, investment grade bonds were marginally outperformed by high yield bonds. In both instances, bond prices responded positively to a firmer macroeconomic environment. Government bond yields then spiked sharply during the second quarter of 2015, driven by a shift in inflation expectations. This negatively impacted many income assets. As we proceeded into the third quarter, investors piled into “safe haven” assets due to fears regarding global growth. Government bond yields were almost universally lower whereas investment grade corporate bonds inched into positive territory and high yield bonds struggled.

Portfolio Review

Performance has been challenging as risk assets have continued re-pricing since the beginning of the year. We kept our focus on high-yielding equities at what we consider to be attractive valuations. We favored defensive sectors (e.g., consumer staples, healthcare, telecommunication firms) and companies that have a proven track record of delivering a strong dividend stream and growth potential. The Fund’s results were impacted by the sharp underperformance of high yielding equities relative to the broader MSCI ACWI with high yielding stocks underperforming the Index by 10% over the past 12 months. Simultaneously, credit spreads widened.

We de-risked the portfolio through hedging a portion of the Fund’s equity exposure, principally European and Japanese equities beginning in June 2015. In late August, net equity exposure reached its lowest point of roughly 25% as volatility increased after China’s “Black Monday” on August 24th. Equities were the largest detractor over the period as the Fund’s portfolio is typically underweight large cap stocks, meaning that the exposure struggled in September as large caps outperformed and mid-caps struggled. Furthermore, the exposure faced headwinds as we focus on valuations as well as yield, and our preference for cheaper stocks in emerging markets over the more expensive U.S. market detracted from performance. The Fund’s exposure to long maturity corporate bonds also detracted from performance during the equity correction in August as credit spreads widened and the long end of the curve was punished.

In fixed income, despite U.S. high yield’s recent underperformance it remains our preferred fixed income asset class given current attractive yields and the view that with the U.S. economy improving, default risk is falling below the level priced into the market. Since October 2014, we have reduced emerging market debt exposure by 13% over the period due to the continued pressure that weaker

22

commodity prices and a stronger U.S. dollar are placing on emerging markets. Specifically, we closed our emerging market corporate debt allocation in early 2015 and reduced exposure to emerging market sovereign and emerging market local debt by 2.8% and 4.4%, respectively. The proceeds were reallocated principally into U.S. and European investment grade credit which, in our view, has become more attractive following the back-up in government bond yields in recent months. The Fund’s allocation to emerging market debt, specifically dollar denominated debt, was the largest detractor as the region was adversely impacted by Chinese growth worries and declining commodity prices.

Having increased the duration of the Fund’s fixed income portfolio by a year in July, we reduced it again in September in anticipation of a back-up in yields post the ECB’s easing announcement, hedging the Fund’s exposure using U.S., UK and German 10-year government bond futures. These hedges were then removed mid-month following a rise in government bond yields; meaning that the portfolio duration was 4.1 years at the end of September, and relatively unchanged at the end of October.

Outlook

The demand for income remains global and structural, driven by low interest rates and by an aging global population. Despite this ongoing demand, the environment has been challenging for many income strategies. First, the appreciation of the dollar appears to be impacting liquidity and some interest rate sensitive assets. Second, the normalization of real rates happened as inflation expectations dropped both in the U.S. and Europe. Real yields are the discount rates of financial asset prices. If they increase, growth needs to be strong enough to offset this negative effect.

Global economic cycles are diverging across regions and we expect them to remain divergent in 2016. Recent divergences have been mostly driven by exchange rates and central banks’ guidance.  As such, we favor regions such as Europe and Japan, both supported by loose monetary policies.

In an environment where we expect equity volatility to normalize, we believe high quality dividend stocks, due to their inherent defensive characteristics, should fare better than the market, and in particular against speculative sectors that have benefited from accommodative monetary policy. Although real interest rates are now positive in the U.S., we believe that yields are likely to stay relatively low for longer.

We are witnessing a dichotomy in global markets as commodity and manufacturing sectors simultaneously contract while services and consumer-related activities expand. Central banks in Europe and Japan may become more accommodative in the near term, while the Fed is likely to begin to normalize rates after almost eight years of historic lows. U.S. earnings growth turned negative year-on-year driven by the energy, material and industrial sectors. This combination of weak growth and upwards pressure on real yields is leading equity and credit asset prices lower while government bonds have not provided much diversification as of late. At this important juncture for global economic growth, central bank action and expansionary fiscal policies will be crucial factors. At the portfolio level, we remain defensive and continue to look for attractive investment opportunities.

To conclude, we believe that central banks and real rates will remain key drivers in 2016. We believe the first rate hike by the Fed in the coming months is unlikely to be followed by an aggressive tightening cycle because of the dollar appreciation impacting U.S. exports and weak Chinese growth. Most government bonds are, therefore, unlikely to run out of control but also unlikely to offer attractive return potential, which ultimately could benefit actively managed income strategies.

For the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund (the “Fund”) fell —6.34% (Investor Shares) and -6.59% (Advisor Shares), compared to the 3-Month USD Fixed LIBOR Index (the “Index”), a widely used measure of short term cash returns, which rose 0.28%. On December 30, 2014, the Fund began to offer R6 shares, which fell —4.60% during the period from inception through October 31, 2015. The Fund is managed with an absolute return objective and thus is not managed against any index.

Market Background

Emerging Market (EM) bonds and currencies came under renewed pressures at the onset of the reporting period with almost all assets affected. The collapse in oil prices, the continued weakening of the Chinese economy, the impact of Western sanctions on Russia and the strong U.S. Dollar, with its concomitant tightening in global financial liquidity, all affected EM assets.

While the entire reporting period was a challenge, during the third quarter, emerging markets experienced one of the most challenging quarters in their history, with local currency debt markets particularly under pressure.  The quarterly loss, as measured by the GBI EM Global Diversified, was an unprecedented -10.5%, thus taking its drawdown to 30% from its peak in May 2013.  These declines were the result of a combination of a collapse in EM currencies and a spike in a number of local government bond yields, such as Brazil, where the 10-year yield reached 17.7% on September 24, 2015. EM hard-currency debt also came under pressure with the average spread, as measured by the EMBI+, widening by 49 basis points. The decision of the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to refrain from hiking its policy rate in September triggered a relief rally, which prevented EM bond spreads from breaking the top of their five year range.

Portfolio Review

The Fund started 2015 with a constructive investment stance focused on selected opportunities in local debt markets.  Subsequently, we reduced exposure across the board in February and March as a number of EM bonds and currencies came under renewed pressures due to a slowdown in economic activity in key countries such as China and Brazil. This deteriorating growth trajectory was also exacerbated by renewed concerns about the future direction of U.S. monetary policy. As a result, the Fund increased its cash position to 30.6% and reinforced its currency hedging.  This defensive investment stance helped the Fund to avoid the large drawdowns experienced by a number of markets.  The Fund’s positions in Russia and India (which have performed well) contributed positively to performance.

In the second quarter the Fund maintained a defensive investment stance characterized by: (i) elevated level of cash; (ii) low duration exposure; and (iii) small positions in currencies. As a result, the Fund avoided drawdowns during a challenging period for bond and currency markets, with U.S. and European bond yields surging. The Fund reduced its already low exposure to hard currency debt, as our view is that this sector remains highly vulnerable to a potential change in U.S. monetary policy stance.  The core positions maintained by the Fund in selected undervalued local currency debt markets were also trimmed.

During the third quarter, given this challenging market environment, we continued to reinforce the portfolio’s already ultra-defensive investment stance.  This allowed the Fund to withstand the renewed dislocations experienced by EM assets, which resulted from the mini devaluation of the Renminbi in August 2015 and the escalation of capital flight from China.

Outlook

Despite the recent soft patch, labor, housing and credit conditions in the U.S. remain broadly on an improving trajectory. We expect this trend will continue to provide a good anchor to economic growth. However, we believe that overvalued financial assets and the Fed’s repeated reluctance to initiate a required normalization of monetary policy are becoming a major source of concern. We believe the risk of a policy mistake has increased and the credibility of the Fed is probably now more at stake than ever.

In contrast, the growth slowdown in most emerging countries is intensifying as a result of subdued domestic credit growth, weak external trade and accelerating capital outflows. A number of EM countries appear to have made some good progress in adjusting to these poor trends, mainly by letting their currencies devalue.  However, this is not yet the case for China, where it appears that more time and more pain is needed to bring the credit and investment excesses of recent years under control.  For this reason, we believe that China’s deflating credit system remains a significant threat to global economic activity.

Our view is that EM currencies have already discounted to a large degree these poor dynamics. After a period of orderly depreciation, a number of EM currencies appear to be experiencing the final “overshooting” phase of the devaluation cycle. We cannot yet say with strong conviction that this cycle is complete, especially given the risk of further dislocations that could result from a potential failure of Chinese authorities to contain the escalating pressures on the Renminbi. However, the compelling exchange rate valuations now on offer and the recent improvements in trade accounts (albeit as a result of contracting imports), in our view, should provide a better

cushion for a number of EM currencies. For this reason, we feel that a gradual unhedging of selected local currency debt positions is warranted.

Because of the need to avoid further currency overshoot, most EM policymakers are unlikely to regain the ability to ease monetary policy in the immediate future. Therefore, domestic monetary conditions in EM are likely to deteriorate further. This backdrop is challenging for growth and credit quality, which has yet to be fully reflected in the level of EM spreads. Our position is that a low exposure to EM external debt is warranted, especially given the relative illiquidity of this sector and the potential acceleration in outflows. The EMBI+ spread, currently at 442 basis points, is on the cusp of breaking the top of its 5-year range. We reiterate our view that a convincing break of this range could open the possibility for a spike to a level of 600 basis points. Our internal chart, quantitative and sentiment analyses currently support this poor outlook for EM credits.

“Total Return” is calculated including reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Returns for certain periods reflect fee waivers and/or reimbursements in effect for that period; absent fee waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results. The value of an investment in the Fund and the return on investment both will fluctuate and redemption proceeds may be higher or lower than an investor’s original cost.

(1) Transfers between investment levels may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes.

As of October 31, 2015, the Fund had securities with a total value of $5,737,628 transfer from Level 1 to Level 2.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2015

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

Schroder Series Trust (“SST”) is an open-end series management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). SST was organized as a business trust under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts on May 6, 1993. SST has an unlimited number of authorized shares, which are divided into thirteen separate series. Included in this report are Schroder Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund, Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Schroder Global Strategic Bond Fund, Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund, Schroder Short Duration Bond Fund, Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund, Schroder Global Multi-Asset Income Fund and Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds” or the “SST Funds”). Each Fund is diversified except Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Schroder Global Strategic Bond Fund and Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund, which are non-diversified. Schroder Short Duration Bond Fund commenced operations on August 26, 2015.

Schroder Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund and Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund commenced operations on October 3, 2011 as separate series of The Advisors Inner Circle Fund II (and were formerly known as STW Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund and STW Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund, respectively, and together, the “Predecessor Funds”) and were advised by STW Fixed Income Management LLC (“STW”).  On April 2, 2013, Schroder U.S. Holdings Inc., the parent company of Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA”), acquired all outstanding interests in STW.  Effective June 24, 2013, all assets and liabilities of the STW Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund were acquired by Schroder Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund and all assets and liabilities of the STW Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund were acquired by Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated May 3, 2013 (the “Fund Mergers”).  In the Fund Mergers, shareholders of the Predecessor Funds received Investor Shares of the Schroder Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund and Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund in exchange for their Institutional Class Shares of the Predecessor Funds.

Because the Schroder Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund and Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund had no investment operations prior to the closing of the Fund Mergers, and based on the similarity of the Funds to the Predecessor Funds, each Predecessor Fund is treated as the survivor of the relevant Fund Merger for accounting and performance reporting purposes.  Accordingly, all performance and other information shown for the Schroder Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund and Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund for periods prior to June 24, 2013 is that of the Predecessor Funds.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds, which are in conformity with U.S. GAAP:

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS: Each Fund calculates the net asset value of its classes of shares by dividing the total value of its assets attributable to that class, less its liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. Each Fund values its shares as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) each day the Exchange is open. Portfolio securities listed on recognized stock exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the securities are principally traded, except that NASDAQ official closing prices for all NASDAQ National Market and NASDAQ Small Cap Market Securities are used, where applicable. Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value in accordance with the valuation procedures of SST, SGST and SCFD (the “Trusts”). Securities for which market values are not readily available, or for which SIMNA believes the market value is unreliable (including, for example, certain foreign securities, thinly-traded securities, IPOs, or securities whose values may have been affected by a particular event), are valued by SIMNA at their fair values pursuant to procedures adopted by the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts. It is possible that fair value prices will be used by a Fund to a significant extent. The value determined for an investment using the Funds’ fair value guidelines may differ from recent market prices for the investment. Certain securities are valued at fair value on the basis of valuations furnished by broker-dealers or other market intermediaries. Market quotations are not readily available for many bonds (excluding most U.S. Treasury securities), certain preferred stocks, tax-exempt securities and certain foreign securities. Such securities are generally fair valued. Debt securities are

100

Schroder Mutual Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2015

priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents.  Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded.  The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market values for such securities.  Such methodologies generally consider factors such as comparable security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities in arriving at valuations.  On the first day a new debt security purchase is recorded, if a price is not available on the automated pricing feeds from a Trust’s primary and secondary pricing vendors nor is it available from an independent broker, the security may be valued at its purchase price.  Each day thereafter, the debt security will be valued according to the Trusts’ fair value procedures until an independent source can be secured.

All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market.  If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used.  In the event such market quotations are not readily available, the security will be valued according to the Trusts’ fair value procedures.  Exchange traded options, including options on indices, are generally valued at the composite mean price or, in the absence of such a mean price, long positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short positions are valued at the most recent ask price.  Options not traded on a securities exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most recently reported mid-market price.  Rights and warrants are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded.  Futures are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of exchange on which they are principally traded.  On days when there is excessive volume or market volatility, the settlement price may not be available at the time at which the Funds calculate their net asset values.  On such days, the best available price (which is typically the last sales price) may be used to value the Funds’ futures positions.  If rights and warrants are not traded on a particular day, intrinsic value may be used to value the security.  Otherwise, the security will be valued according to the Trusts’ fair value procedures.  Swaps held by the Funds are valued primarily using valuations from independent pricing services, if the swap is not centrally cleared.  In the case of a swap that is centrally cleared, it may be valued at the valuation used by the clearing organization in its determination of applicable margin amounts for the swap.  If no valuation is available using these methods, then valuations can be sought from brokers, or if no broker quotations are available, from the swap counterparty or by reference to daily quoted values for the indices or securities upon which the swap is valued.  In the absence of the above, the SIMNA’s Pricing Committee (the “Committee”) will determine an appropriate method of valuation, subject to the Trusts’ fair value procedures. The Committee is comprised of officers of the Funds and SIMNA and other responsible personnel of SIMNA. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued in accordance with the Trusts’ fair value procedures. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; or the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security’s last trade and the time at which a Fund calculates its net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market values at the time a Fund calculates its net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last trade and the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If a Fund becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates its net asset value, a Committee meeting may be called.

Schroder Global Multi-Asset Income Fund uses a third-party fair valuation vendor, which provides a fair value for securities of companies located in countries outside the Western Hemisphere held by the Fund based on certain factors and methodologies applied by the vendor in the event that there is movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold established by the Committee in consultation with the Trustees. Such methodologies generally involve tracking valuation correlations between the U.S. market and each non-U.S. security. The Committee also determines a “confidence interval” that will be used, when the threshold is exceeded, to determine the level of correlation between the value of a foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security will be fair valued. In the event that the threshold established by the Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Fund will typically

101

Schroder Mutual Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2015

value such securities that exceed the applicable confidence interval based upon the fair values provided by the vendor. A security whose value is adjusted in this manner will be classified as a Level 2 security in the fair value hierarchy.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and requires disclosure surrounding the various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments.

These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

·Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

·Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

·Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

For the purpose of this Fair Value Measurement summary, instruments that have been fair valued by a third-party vendor as discussed above for Schroder Global Multi-Asset Income Fund are generally considered Level 2 instruments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For the year or period ended October 31, 2015, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies. Fair value measurement classifications are summarized in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the intention of each Fund to qualify, or continue to qualify, as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If a Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company that is accorded special tax treatment, the Fund will not be subject to Federal income taxes to the extent that, among other things, it distributes substantially all of its taxable income, including realized capital gains, for the fiscal year in a timely manner, to its shareholders in the form of dividends. In addition, as a result of distributing substantially all of their net investment income during each calendar year, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Funds will not be subject to a Federal excise tax. The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely than-not” (i.e., greater than 50%) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

As of, and during the period ended October 31, 2015, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any tax-related interest or penalties.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS: Investment security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost.

INVESTMENT INCOME: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis net of unrecoverable withholding tax. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are accreted and amortized using the effective interest method. Foreign interest income amounts and realized capital gains or losses are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates in effect at the date of the transactions.

EXPENSES: Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Many of the expenses of the Funds can be directly attributable to a specific Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a specific Fund are allocated among the Funds based on relative average net assets or another appropriate methodology. Class specific expenses are borne by that class. Fund expenses are pro-rated to the respective classes based on relative net assets.

CLASSES OF SHARES: Income, realized and unrealized gains and losses of a Fund are prorated to the respective classes of shares based on relative net assets.

Schroder Mutual Funds

October 31, 2015

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly by the Funds, except for Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund, which declares dividends to shareholders from net investment income daily and distributes these dividends monthly and Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund, which declares and pays dividends from net investment income at least annually.  Distributions to shareholders from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually for each of the Funds.

OFFERING COSTS: During the year ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder Short Duration Bond Fund commenced operations and incurred offering costs of $34,169. SIMNA absorbed all of the offering costs for the Schroder Short Duration Bond Fund. The amount absorbed by SIMNA is included in “Offering Costs” and “Reimbursement from Investment Advisor” on the Statement of Operations.

FOREIGN CURRENCY: Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as follows: (i) assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange at the end of the respective period; and (ii) purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of such transactions. The portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates and the portion due to fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities are not isolated. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to protect the U.S. dollar value of the underlying portfolio of securities against the effect of possible adverse movements in foreign exchange rates. Certain Funds may also seek to gain currency exposure or otherwise attempt to increase a Fund’s total return by holding such forward foreign currency contracts. Principal risks associated with such transactions include the movement in value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform. Fluctuations in the value of such forward foreign currency transactions are recorded daily as unrealized gain or loss; realized gain or loss includes net gain or loss on transactions that have terminated by settlement or by the Funds entering into offsetting commitments.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES: Certain Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis during the period covered by this report. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase a security for a predetermined price or yield, with payments and delivery taking place more than seven days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement period for that type of security. These transactions may increase the overall investment exposure for a Fund (and so may also create investment leverage) and involve a risk of loss if the value of the securities declines prior to the settlement date.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES:  Certain Funds may invest in securities that are convertible into preferred and common stocks, and so subject to the risks of investments in both debt and equity securities. The market value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, tends to increase as interest rates decline. In addition, because of the conversion feature, the market value of convertible securities tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying preferred and common stocks and, therefore, also will react to variations in the general market for equity securities.

FUTURES: Financial futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices; changes in initial settlement value (represented by cash paid to or received from brokers as “variation margin”) are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When futures contracts are closed, the difference between the opening value at the date of purchase and the value at closing is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations.

Futures contracts are generally utilized in order to hedge against unfavorable changes in the value of securities or otherwise to attempt to increase a Fund’s total return. Futures contracts involve leverage and are subject to market risk that may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible significant movements in prices. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds to the value of the securities or other index or amount underlying the contracts, but may not precisely correlate with the change in value of such securities or other index or amount. In addition, there is the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

OPTION TRANSACTIONS: Certain Funds may purchase and write call and put options on securities, securities indices, swaps (“swaptions”) and foreign currencies, provided such options are traded on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market. When any of the Funds writes or purchases a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in that Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security

and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the underlying securities are subsequently sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or index underlying the written option. When any of the Funds purchases a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included in that Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities as an investment, and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a Fund exercises a call, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a Fund exercises a put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. The option techniques utilized are generally to hedge against changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or securities prices in order to establish more definitely the effective return on securities or currencies held or intended to be acquired by a Fund, to reduce the volatility of the currency exposure associated with an investment in non-U.S. securities, or as an efficient means of adjusting exposure to the bond, equity and currency markets.

Written options transactions entered into during the year ended October 31, 2015 are summarized as follows:

FOREIGN CURRENCY SWAPTIONS: The Funds may enter into foreign currency swaption agreements. A swaption is an option to enter into a pre-defined swap agreement by some specified date in the future. The writer of the swaption becomes the counterparty to the swap if the buyer exercises. The foreign currency swaption agreement will specify the amount of currency and a rate of exchange that may be exercised by a specified date. Written swaption transactions entered into during the year ended October 31, 2015 are summarized as follows:

	Notional		Premiums

SWAP AGREEMENTS: Certain Funds may enter into swap agreements, including credit default swaps and interest rate swaps and other types of exchange-traded or over-the-counter transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. Depending on their structures, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund’s exposure to long- or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates. The value of a Fund’s swap positions would increase or decrease depending on the changes in value of the underlying rates, currency values, or other indices or measures. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the counter market (“OTC swaps”) or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”).

In a “credit default” swap transaction, one party pays what is, in effect, an insurance premium through a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in an event of default (or similar events) by a third party on its obligations. Therefore, in a credit default swap, a Fund may pay a premium and, in return, have the right to put certain bonds or loans to the counterparty upon default by the issuer of such bonds or loans (or similar events) and to receive in return the par value of such bonds or loans (or another agreed upon amount). A Fund could also receive the premium referenced above, and be obligated to pay a counterparty the par value of certain bonds or loans upon a default (or similar event) by the issuer. A Fund’s ability to realize a profit from such transactions will depend on the ability of the financial institutions with which it enters into the transactions to meet their obligations to the Fund. Under certain circumstances, suitable transactions may not be available to a Fund, or a Fund may be unable to close out its position under such transactions at the same time, or at the same price, as if it had purchased comparable publicly traded securities. “Interest rate” swaps involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments) with respect to a notional amount of principal. “Inflation- linked” swaps are used to transfer inflation risk from one party to another through an exchange of cash flows. In an inflation-linked swap, one party pays a fixed rate on a notional principal amount, while the other party pays a floating rate linked to an inflation index, such as the Consumer Price Index. The Funds could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or if the counterparty defaults on its obligation to perform. A Fund’s ability to engage in certain swap transactions may be limited by tax considerations.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily and the resulting changes in market values, if any, are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net payments of interest are recorded as realized gains or losses. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for the change in value as appropriate (“variation margin”) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Recent legislative and regulatory reforms, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, have resulted in new regulation of swap agreements, including clearing, margin, reporting, recordkeeping and registration requirements. New regulations could, among other things, restrict a Fund’s ability to engage in swap transactions (for example, by making certain types of swap transactions no longer available to a Fund) and/or increase the costs of such swap transactions (for example, by increasing margin or capital requirements), and a Fund may as a result be unable to execute its investment strategies in a manner the Fund might otherwise choose.

CUSTODY OFFSET: The Funds have an arrangement with the custodian whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used to offset a portion of the custodian fees. The amounts are included in custodian fees and custody offset on the Statements of Operations.

Effective January 1, 2013, under an amended administration and accounting agreement with SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“SEI”), SST Funds’ sub-administration and accounting agreement with SEI, the SST Funds pay SEI based on aggregate average daily net assets of all Schroder Capital Funds (Delaware) (“SCFD Funds”), SST Funds and Schroder Global Series Trust Funds (“SGST Funds”), other than Schroder North American Equity Fund; 0.0875% on the first $1 billion of the Funds’ average daily net assets; 0.0700% on the next $2 billion of the Funds’ average daily net assets; 0.0600% on the next $1.5 billion of the Funds’ average daily net assets; and 0.0575% on the Funds’ average daily net assets over $4.5 billion. Each Fund pays its pro rata portion of such fees.

Prior to January 1, 2013, under an amended administration and accounting agreement with SEI, SST Funds’ sub-administration and accounting agreement with SEI, the SST Funds paid SEI based on aggregate average daily net assets of all SCFD, SST Funds and SGST Funds, other than Schroder North American Equity Fund; 0.0875% on the first $2 billion of the Funds’ average daily net assets; 0.0700% on the next $1 billion of the Funds’ average daily net assets; 0.0600% on the next $2 billion of the Funds’ average daily net assets; and 0.0500% on the Funds’ average daily net assets over $5 billion. Each Fund paid its pro rata portion of such fees.

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act that allows the Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund, Schroder Global Multi-Asset Income Fund and Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund to pay distribution and other fees with respect to its Advisor Shares. Under the Plan, a Fund may make payments at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to their Advisor Shares to compensate Schroder Fund Advisors LLC (“SFA”) for distribution services and certain shareholder services with respect to the Funds’ Advisor Shares.

Effective December 19, 2014, each Fund has adopted a shareholder service plan (the “Plan”) with respect to its Advisor Shares and Investor Shares. Under the Plan, each Fund may make payments out of the assets attributable to its Advisor Shares or its Investor Shares to SIMNA, SFA, the Funds’ distributor, and such other entities as may from time to time act as the shareholder servicer of such class for providing services and/or incurring expenses directly or indirectly supporting or relating to the shareholder servicing function for Advisor Shares and Investor Shares as compensation for such services and expenses. Payments under the Plan are made at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of a Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the applicable share class; payments under the Plan are not made for distribution services or expenses. This payment is in addition to payments made under the Funds’ 12b-1 plans, if applicable. SIMNA, SFA, or any of their affiliates, may, from time to time, also make payments to financial intermediaries for sub-administration, sub-transfer agency, or other shareholder services or distribution, out of their own resources. Previously, each Fund, with respect to its Advisor Shares, was authorized to reimburse SIMNA, SFA, or their affiliates for a portion of payments related to sub-administration, sub-transfer agency, or other shareholder services; the amount of that reimbursement was limited to 0.10% of a Fund’s Advisor Shares’ average daily net assets.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” requires entities to disclose information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that have been offset or that are subject to enforceable master netting agreements. The Funds do not offset such instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, rather such instruments are presented on a gross basis.

NOTE 7 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. Any permanent differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for gains resulting from net operating loss, paydown gains and losses, foreign currency transactions, market discount, swaps and convertible preferred debt instruments. Distributions from short-term gains and from gains on foreign currency transactions are treated as distributions from ordinary income for tax purposes.

At October 31, 2015, the Funds reclassified the following permanent amounts between undistributed net investment income and accumulated realized gain (loss):

	Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income			Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Realized Gain (Loss)			Increase (Decrease) Capital Paid-in

Each Fund may use its tax basis capital loss carryforwards listed above to offset taxable capital gains realized in subsequent years for federal income tax purposes. If a Fund incurs or has incurred net capital losses in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-RIC Mod losses”), those losses will be carried forward to one or more subsequent taxable years without expiration; any such carryforward losses will retain their character as short-term or long-term.

The Funds listed below have the following post-RIC Mod losses, which do not expire:

	Short-Term Loss		Long-Term Loss		Total
Schroder Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund	$	158,416	$	—	$	158,416
Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund	1,853,810		167,404		2,021,214

NOTE 9 — PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT RISKS

Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund and Schroder Short Duration Bond Fund invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities, including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

Schroder Broad-Tax Aware Value Bond, Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund and Schroder Short Duration Bond Fund invest a portion of their assets in municipal bonds. Municipal bonds are investments of any maturity issued by states, public authorities or political subdivisions to raise money for public purposes; they include, for example, general obligations of a state or other government entity supported by its taxing powers to acquire and construct public facilities, or to provide temporary financing in anticipation of the receipt of taxes and other revenue. They also include obligations of states, public authorities or political subdivisions

115

Schroder Mutual Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2015

to finance privately owned or operated facilities or public facilities financed solely by enterprise revenues. The values of municipal obligations that depend on a specific revenue source to fund their payment obligations may fluctuate as a result of changes in the cash flows generated by the revenue source or changes in the priority of the municipal obligation to receive the cash flows generated by the revenue source. Changes in law or adverse determinations by the Internal Revenue Service or a state tax authority could make the income from some of these obligations taxable.

The yields on municipal bonds depend on a variety of factors, including general money market conditions, effective marginal tax rates, the financial condition of the issuer, general conditions of the municipal bond market, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating of the issue. The ratings of nationally recognized securities rating agencies represent their opinions as to the credit quality of the municipal bonds.

Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Schroder Global Strategic Bond Fund, Schroder Global Multi-Asset Income Fund and Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund have a relatively large portion of their assets invested in companies or issuers domiciled in particular foreign countries, including emerging markets. The Funds may be more susceptible to political, social and economic events adversely affecting those countries and such issuers.

Under normal market conditions, Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Schroder Global Strategic Bond Fund, Schroder Short Duration Bond Fund, Schroder Global Multi-Asset Income Fund and Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund invest in emerging markets debt securities and will have exposure to currencies around the world, including currencies of emerging market countries. The values of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may be extremely volatile and may fluctuate in response to, among other factors, interest rate changes, intervention (or failure to intervene) by the U.S. or foreign governments, central banks, or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund; the imposition of currency controls; and political and regulatory developments in the United States or abroad. Officials in foreign countries may from time to time take actions in respect of their currencies which could adversely affect the values of a Fund’s assets denominated in those currencies or the liquidity of such investments. Foreign-currency values can decrease significantly both in the short term and over the long term in response to these and other developments. If the Fund purchases securities denominated in foreign currencies, a change in the value of any such currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s assets and potentially the Fund’s income available for distribution.

Schroder Broad-Tax Aware Value Bond, Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Schroder Global Strategic Bond Fund, Schroder Short Duration Bond Fund, Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund, Schroder Global Multi-Asset Income Fund, and Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund may enter into derivative transactions including futures contracts, options, and swap contracts. Derivatives are financial contracts whose values depend on, or derive from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or index. A Fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk, and the risk that a derivative transaction may not have the effect the Funds’ adviser anticipated. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Derivative transactions typically involve leverage and may be highly volatile. Use of derivatives other than for hedging purposes may be considered speculative and may have the effect of creating investment leverage, and when a Fund invests in a derivative instrument it could lose more than the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that a Fund will engage in these transactions when that would be beneficial.

NOTE 10 — BENEFICIAL INTEREST

NOTE 11 — LINE OF CREDIT

The Funds entered into a credit agreement on October 6, 2008, as amended from time to time, that enables them to participate in a $50 million committed revolving line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Any advance under the line of credit is contemplated primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, or to finance the redemption of the shares of a shareholder of the borrower. Interest is charged to the Funds based on their borrowings at the current reference rate. The Funds pay their pro rata portion of an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on the total amount of the credit facility. For the period ended October 31, 2015, the Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund utilized the line of credit for $900,000 for a period of 3 days paying interest of $107, the Schroder Global Strategic Bond Fund utilized the line of credit for $739,863 for a period of 4 days paying interest of $116 and $9,880,000 for a period of 1 day paying interest of $394, and the Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund utilized the line of credit for $158,172 for a period of 4 days paying interest of $25 and $3,350,000 for a period of 1 day paying interest of $134, which is included in the Statement of Operations as custodian fees.

NOTE 13 — LITIGATION

In May 2011, “Schroders U.S. Mutual Funds” was served with a summons and complaint in an action brought by Edward S. Weisfelner, as Litigation Trustee of the LB Litigation Trust in the case captioned Weisfelner v. A. Holmes & H. Holmes TTEE, et al. (Adv. Pro. No. 10-5525) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.) (the “Litigation Trust Action”). In January 2012, “Schroders U.S. Mutual Funds” was served with a summons and complaint in an action brought by Edward S. Weisfelner, as trustee of the LB Creditors Trust, in the case captioned Weisfelner v. Fund 1 et al. (Adv. Pro. No. 10-04609) (the “Creditors Trust Action”). Both litigations sought to recover all payments made to shareholders in the December 2007 leveraged buyout of Lyondell Chemical Company as alleged fraudulent transfers.  On January 8, 2015, following a widely-circulated settlement offer by the plaintiffs and a consideration by the Board of Trustees, Schroder North American Equity Fund entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in the litigations pursuant to which the Fund paid $204,542. As a result, all claims against Schroder North American Equity Fund were dismissed pursuant to notices of dismissals dated January 23, 2015.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of

Schroder Series Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schroder Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund, Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Schroder Global Strategic Bond Fund, Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund, Schroder Short Duration Bond Fund, Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund, Schroder Global Multi-Asset Income Fund, and Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund (eight of the series constituting Schroder Series Trust) (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2015, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights of Schroder Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund and Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund as of July 31, 2012 and for the period October 3, 2011 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2012 were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 28, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Information Regarding Review and Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (unaudited)

RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR THE SCHRODER MUTUAL FUNDS

The advisory and subadvisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) for Schroder Total Return Fixed Income Fund, Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund, Schroder Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund, Schroder Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund, and Schroder Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund (collectively, the “Existing Funds”) are subject to annual approval by the Trustees of the Funds.  The Advisory Agreements for Schroder Global Multi-Asset Income Fund and Schroder Global Strategic Bond Fund were approved in June 2014 for an initial two-year period and will be subject to annual approval in June 2016. The Trustees meet over the course of the year with investment advisory personnel from Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA”) and regularly review detailed information regarding the investment program and performance of each Existing Fund.  The Trustees met in June 2015 to consider the continuation of the Advisory Agreements in respect of each of the Existing Funds for the following year and amendments to the subadvisory agreements.  At the same meeting, the Trustees considered the approval of the Advisory Agreement in respect of Schroder Short Duration Bond Fund (the “New Fund,” together with the Existing Funds, the “Funds”) for an initial two-year period.  The Trustees considered a number of factors, though they did not identify any one particular factor alone that they considered determinative.  Factors considered by the Trustees included those described below, among others.

With respect to the Existing Funds, the Trustees considered the overall nature, extent and quality of the services provided by SIMNA, and the services provided by Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (“SIMNA Ltd.”) as sub-advisor to the Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund, the Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund, the Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund, and the Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, pursuant to subadvisory agreements (the “Existing Subadvisory Agreements”) between SIMNA and SIMNA Ltd.  They also considered the non-advisory services provided by affiliates of SIMNA.  In this regard, the Trustees took into account, among other things, the experience of the respective Funds’ portfolio management teams and of SIMNA’s senior management.

The Trustees reviewed the information provided by SIMNA and compiled by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) showing a comparison of SIMNA’s fee rate for each Existing Fund, as well as each Existing Fund’s expense ratio, compared to a peer group of mutual funds selected independently by Lipper having similar objectives, strategies, asset sizes, and distribution channel as the Existing Funds.  The Trustees also reviewed information as to brokerage commissions for each Existing Fund as compared to peer group funds.  In reviewing the performance information provided by Lipper, the Trustees considered both short term and longer term performance.

In respect of the Total Return Fixed Income Fund, the Trustees considered that the Fund has competitive contractual and actual management fees, ranking second out of eleven peer group funds for both the actual and contractual management fees.  They noted that total expenses ranked in the first quintile for Investor Shares and the second quintile for Advisor Shares compared to peer group funds.  The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the first and second quintile for Investor and Advisor Shares, respectively, in the last year, in the second quintile for both Investor and Advisor Shares in the three year period, and in the second and third quintile for Investor and Advisor Shares, respectively for the five year period.  The Trustees determined that the management fee did not appear unreasonable in light of the information provided.

For the Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund, the Trustees considered that total expenses were in the first quintile for both Investor and Advisor Shares and that the Fund’s actual and contractual management fees were both in the second quintile.  They also noted that the Fund’s performance was in the fourth quintile for the previous calendar year and the third quintile for the since inception period for both Investor and Advisor Shares.  They then noted that for the one year and since inception periods, performance was in the fifth quintile compared to the Fund’s broader performance universe (a broader grouping that consists of all retail and institutional absolute-return funds regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution).  Although the Trustees noted that the performance universe provided by Lipper may arguably be less useful in light of the broad spectrum of absolute return investment strategies included in it, they considered that the peer funds pursue an absolute return strategy as does the Fund.  The Trustees noted their particular focus on the Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund due to the relative underperformance in recent periods.  They noted management’s discussion of its view of the Fund and the additional resources that SIMNA is dedicating to the Fund to seek to improve performance.  The Trustees discussed steps they might take if underperformance continued in the future.

For the Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, the Trustees noted that contractual management fees were in the fourth quintile but that the actual management fees were in the first quintile due to a competitive expense reimbursement arrangement.  The Trustees also noted that total expenses ranked in the first and third quintiles for Investor and Advisor Shares, respectively.  For the one year period for each of Investor and Advisor Shares, the Trustees noted that the Fund ranked four out of five comparable funds.  They noted that due to this Fund’s unique investment mandate, the Trustees had also reviewed performance information from the broader performance universe (all retail and institutional emerging markets hard currency debt funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution) and that the Fund performed in the fourth quintile for both Investor and Advisor Shares for the one year period.  The Trustees also noted that the Fund has a relatively short operating history at this point.  The Trustees determined that the management fee did not appear unreasonable in light of the information provided.

121

For the Broad Tax-Aware Value Bond Fund, the Trustees noted that contractual and actual management fees were both in the first quintile and that total expenses for Investor Class shares were in the first quintile.  The Trustees noted that Investor Shares had the best performance of its peer funds for both the one and three year periods.  They noted that they had also reviewed performance information for the broader performance universe (all retail and institutional general and insured municipal debt funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution) and that performance had been strong, ranking in the first quintile for each period shown.  The Trustees also noted that Advisor Shares commenced operations on December 30, 2014, one day before the date of the Lipper report, and, therefore, performance and expense comparisons were not available for Advisor Shares.  The Trustees determined that the management fee did not appear unreasonable in light of the information provided.

For the Long Duration Investment-Grade Bond Fund, the Trustees noted that contractual and actual management fees ranked in the first quintile and that the total expenses for Investor Shares also ranked in the first quintile.  The Trustees also noted that Investor Shares performance ranked in the first quintile for all of the one year, three year, and since inception periods ended December 31, 2014.  The Trustees noted that they had also reviewed information for the Fund’s broader performance universe (all retail and institutional BBB-rated corporate debt funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution).  The Trustees determined that the management fee did not appear unreasonable in light of the information provided.

The Independent Trustees found that the advisory and administrative fees charged by SIMNA to the Existing Funds appeared reasonable in relation to the services provided.  They noted that SIMNA generally charges lower fees to third party mutual funds for which SIMNA serves as sub-adviser.  They considered reasons cited by SIMNA management for the differences between the fees charged to the Funds and to those third party mutual funds, including, among other things, the fact that the services and resources required of SIMNA where it sub-advises mutual funds sponsored by others are substantially less than in the case of the Funds, since many of the compliance and regulatory responsibilities related to the management function, among other things, are retained in part by the primary adviser.  In addition, the Trustees noted that in many cases the fees charged to SIMNA’s separate account clients are lower than those charged to the Funds.  They considered the statements by representatives of SIMNA that this is primarily due to the fact that the compliance, legal, and administrative burdens of providing investment advice to mutual funds exceed those required to provide advisory services to non-mutual fund clients and that management of public mutual funds generally subjects SIMNA and SIMNA Ltd. to increased regulatory and enterprise risk.  They also noted that the Funds require the resources necessary to conduct daily valuation and to satisfy liquidity requirements, which is not necessarily the case for separate account clients.

The Trustees considered the information regarding the profitability of the Existing Funds’ advisory arrangements to SIMNA.  They noted that, as the Existing Funds have grown in recent years, the levels of profitability to SIMNA have also increased, although SIMNA continues for most of the Existing Funds to bear the cost of expense limitations.  The Trustees noted that they had had a discussion with management regarding the methodologies used for allocating expenses in calculating SIMNA’s profitability.  The Trustees determined that the levels of profitability did not appear inappropriate or unreasonable at this time.  They considered whether economies of scale would likely be realized as the Existing Funds grow and whether a reduction in the advisory fees paid by the Existing Funds by means of breakpoints would be appropriate.  They concluded, in light of the sizes of the Existing Funds and their expected growth rates and current levels of profitability to SIMNA, that it did not appear appropriate at this point for breakpoints to be implemented, although the Trustees noted that, if the Existing Funds continue to grow at current rates, it might become appropriate in the future to implement breakpoints with respect to at least some number of the Existing Funds.

In reviewing the amendments to the Existing Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees considered that the amendments reflected a reallocation of the advisory fees between SIMNA and SIMNA Ltd.  They noted that, under the Existing Subadvisory Agreements, SIMNA currently pays to SIMNA Ltd. a monthly fee in an amount that varies for each Fund sub-advised by SIMNA Ltd. They noted that Schroders plc and its affiliates (“Schroders”) reviews the allocation periodically with consideration given to the cost allocation and fee-setting functions of an internal transfer pricing policy, which is designed to allocate costs and revenues across the various companies within the Schroders organization appropriately over time.  They noted the transfer pricing policy had recently been updated.  They noted that based on these updates and a consideration of various factors, including the asset classes invested in by each Fund and the relative responsibilities, costs, and risks borne by SIMNA and SIMNA Ltd., Tthe Trustees found that the proposed fee reallocations did not appear unreasonable.

As to the New Fund, the Trustees reported that they were prepared to approve the proposed contractual arrangements.  The Trustees considered the overall nature, extent, and quality of the services expected to be provided by SIMNA and SIMNA Ltd. and the non-advisory services provided by affiliates of SIMNA.  The Trustees considered the experience of the New Fund’s portfolio management teams and of SIMNA’s senior management, and the time and attention expected to be devoted by each to the New Fund.  The Trustees considered that the New Fund’s contractual arrangements would be substantially similar to those currently in place and that the share classes offered would consist of share classes that are already available in certain of the Existing Funds.  The Trustees considered that, as compared to the fees for peer funds as presented in the materials, the proposed fees, including advisory fees and total expenses, were within the range of peer funds’ fees.  The Trustees considered the information regarding the fees charged by SIMNA to provide similar investment strategies to other clients, and found the fees proposed for the New Fund to be generally in line.  The

122

Trustees also noted that, given the small size of the New Fund in its start-up phase and in light of the proposed expense limitations, the Trustees did not consider that the profitability of the New Fund to SIMNA was likely to be unreasonable, or that breakpoints or other similar steps should be implemented at this time.  The Trustees noted that they would continue to monitor economies of scale as the New Fund grew.

After considering all the information described above, the Trustees at the meeting, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Funds, SIMNA or SIMNA Ltd., unanimously voted to approve (i) the continuation of the Advisory Agreements in respect of each of the Existing Funds, including the advisory fees proposed in connection with that continuation, (ii) the amendments to the Existing Subadvisory Agreements, and (iii) the Advisory Agreement of the New Fund, including the advisory fees proposed in connection with that approval.

Schroder Mutual Funds

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited)

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Schroder Mutual Fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include, among others, costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), and in the case of Advisor Shares, distribution (12b-1) fees. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (May 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015).

The table below illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways.

·Actual expenses. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers, if applicable, that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the fourth column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

·Hypothetical example for comparison purposes. This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a return of 5% before expenses during the year, and that it incurred expenses at the rate of which it in the past did incur expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results may not be used to estimate the actual ending balance of an account in the Fund over the period or expenses you actually paid. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses in this table based on a 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as redemption fees, which are described in the Prospectus. If this fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher.
