The Schroder China Asset Income Fund is recognized as a pioneering Fund that uses a multi-asset approach to investing in China and tap opportunities for generating income and growth.

The manager demonstrates a comprehensive investment approach and strategy using predominately equities, and fixed income outperformed benchmarks. Further, unlike many of its peers, it uses its multi-asset mandate to directly support risk management using duration, gold, currencies, and active management via options and futures to deliver lower volatility and drawdowns. That said, the Chinese market's inherent volatility delivered volatility in the performance returns over the last several years.

ESG stewardship is of a high standard and has been a core element of Schroder's investment process for many decades. This standard has continued to improve with the recent launch of SustainEx, an investment framework for identifying sustainable investment markets and sectors, and the Climate Progress Dashboard and Carbon Value at Risk modeling.

This Fund has been reviewed by four industry veterans of the Benchmark judging committee.
