Information relating to the proposal to transfer the assets of the Coutts Multi Asset Funds (CMaF) “the Funds” in exchange for the issue of shares in the UK Funds, sub-funds of the RBS Investment Funds ICVC.

We’re making changes to our investment approach
As the Fund Manager of the Coutts Managed Funds (CMaF), we continue to assess the best way to manage investments. Recent changes to our approach include reducing the allocation to UK bonds, favouring a more global approach. We also implemented our responsible investing policy in equity allocations. This was achieved through adjusting the Fund’s benchmark and we’re now making further adjustments.
- We are reducing the amount of UK equity we hold within the Fund and moving to a more global approach.
- We currently screen equities from a responsible investing perspective, we will now also be doing this on investment grade bonds.
Moving to a global approach
We believe that moving to a global approach for the Fund means investors will benefit from increased diversification. This applies both to regional and currency exposure, increasing global investment opportunities for the investment manager. Being global will also provide a reduction in the underlying future transaction costs which will be reflected in the performance of the underlying assets.
Introduction of screening on investment grade bonds
When investing in equities we aim to apply a screening process to reduce the Fund’s exposure to companies that are not aligned with our responsible investing policy or long-term climate commitments. We’ll now also apply this approach to the investment grade bond part of the benchmark.
Nothing. While these changes are important, there’s no action for you to take.
The changes will become effective on the following dates:
| Fund | Effective Date |
| Coutts Managed Defensive Fund | 25 June 2024 |
| Coutts Managed Cautious Fund | 25 June 2024 |

To implement these changes we need to sell some existing investments and buy some new ones. We call this ‘repositioning’. Any associated transaction costs (brokerage, transaction taxes and commission) will be deducted from the value of the Fund. The percentage of the Fund’s portfolio being repositioned and estimated transaction costs are set out in the “Changes in Detail” section.
We can’t confirm what these exact costs will be. However, we can give you an estimate. Based on an investment of £10,000, the extra one off cost would be between £1 and £5. The actual cost would depend on the fund in which you’re invested.
All legal, advisory and administrative costs and expenses associated with implementing these changes will be met by us and not by the Fund.
There will be no change to the stated risk profile of the Fund as a result of these changes.
From the Effective Date, the fund will be fully managed to the new benchmark and the changes outlined in this letter will be incorporated into new versions of the Fund’s prospectus and key investor information documents. Visit www.coutts.com/cmaf for full details.

funds investment objectives and risk profiles
Coutts Managed Funds offer you a simple route into a dynamic, diversified portfolio. Their benefits include:
- Greater diversification: your funds are invested across a wide range of asset classes, including equities, bonds, commodities, property and cash – all managed in a single dynamic investment. A wider spread of holdings across the portfolio helps to spread your investment risk.
- Peace of mind: investing has become increasingly complex in recent years, with huge fluctuations in market fortunes and rapid developments in the investment vehicles you can use to gain exposure to assets. Keeping track of investment trends can be a full-time job – we have a long tradition of managing multi-asset discretionary portfolios for our clients. Coutts managed funds draw on our expertise and experience to make those decisions for you.
- Added flexibility: the funds are available in both distributing and accumulating options to meet your needs. It's easy for us to set up facilities for you, such as regular contributions or withdrawals and annual use of ISA allowances. And daily dealing means that new monies are quickly invested.
- Less paperwork: you have one investment in a portfolio rather than multiple holdings in a range of shares or bonds, which means less paperwork. Coutts managed funds ensure the seamless management of dividend payments, sales and purchases, and tax reporting within the funds.
- Tax treatment: the fund structure offers a simpler tax proposition to investors in a variety of tax jurisdictions.
Investors with little or no experience of investing in collective investment schemes and basic or no knowledge of the characteristics and risks of investing in equities and bonds (capital markets). The minimum investment horizon is five years.

Past performance should not be taken as a guide to future performance. The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up, and you may not receive the amount of your original investment. Cash savings are generally regarded as being safer than investments as they normally grow with the addition of interest. Investments have the potential for growth and should be held for the medium to long term whereas cash savings are usually easier to access in the short term.
