News Release
Schroders appoints a new
global property securities team
2nd July 2014
Schroders today announces the establishment of a new Global Property Securities (GPS) team to manage
more than £1.2bn of assets under management (as at 31 March 2014) following a strategic decision to
take the investment management in-house.
New Team

Tom Walker joins on 2 July as a fund manager from AMP Capital where he was Deputy Head of
Global Listed Real Estate.

Hugo Machin will join on 7 July as a fund manager from AMP Capital where he was Head of
European Listed Real Estate.

Ben Forster will also transfer as a fund analyst from the Schroder Property Multi-Manager team
where he has worked for seven years.

A further fund analyst has also been appointed who has seven years’ property securities
experience and will join the team in August.
The newly created GPS team will report to Neil Turner, Head of Indirect Property Investment, and will work
closely with Schroders’ existing GPS specialists based in Asia and North America. The team will take on
the investment management of the Schroder Global Property Securities Fund, the Schroder Global
Property Income Maximiser Fund and Schroder ISF1 Global Property Securities from EII Capital
Management, Inc with effect from 15 August 2014. The investment objectives of the funds remain
unchanged. EII Capital Management, Inc. will continue to manage a number of other existing segregated
client mandates on behalf of Schroders.
Schroders has also been appointed manager of the listed trust “Investors in Global Real Estate”
announced earlier today by the Company. This is the UK’s only listed investment company that has a
global property securities investment strategy. Subject to shareholder approval, the Trust will change its
name to Schroder Global Real Estate Securities. There will be an orderly handover from the existing
manager.

Schroder International Selection Fund is referred to as Schroder ISF.

Duncan Owen, Head of Schroder Property, comments:
“Global property securities is a strategically important market to Schroders and the establishment of this
new team is a significant development for us. Investors increasingly understand the benefits of
diversification and increased liquidity that can be gained by including global property securities within their
property allocation. We welcome Tom and Hugo to the team and we look forward to continuing to work
with our partners EII Capital Management, Inc. on existing segregated client mandates.”
Christian Lange, EII Capital Management, comments:
“We have enjoyed the mutually successful partnership with Schroders over the last 9 years. Both firms
have grown substantially during this period and we understand the strategic decision to bring the
investment management of the real estate securities funds in house. While we are sorry to lose the three
Schroders house funds, we look forward to continue to manage the existing joint segregated accounts.”
