Welcome<br />

“We are delighted with <strong>the</strong> additional <strong>in</strong>vestment capability and expertise<br />

that we can offer our clients as a result of <strong>the</strong> Gartmore acquisition.<br />

Gartmore is an excellent fit for <strong>Henderson</strong>, complement<strong>in</strong>g our exist<strong>in</strong>g fund<br />

range and enhanc<strong>in</strong>g our expertise <strong>in</strong> areas such as emerg<strong>in</strong>g markets and<br />

absolute return where clients are <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>gly look<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>in</strong>vest. <strong>Henderson</strong><br />

shares a similar <strong>in</strong>vestment philosophy and culture to Gartmore which we<br />

believe should be reassur<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>in</strong>vestors <strong>in</strong> Gartmore funds <strong>in</strong> terms of fund manager<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>uity and <strong>in</strong>vestment performance. We are focused on help<strong>in</strong>g <strong>you</strong> achieve <strong>you</strong>r long-term<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestment goals.”<br />

Andrew Formica<br />

Chief Executive of <strong>Henderson</strong> Group plc<br />

On 4 April 2011 <strong>Henderson</strong> Group plc, <strong>the</strong> parent company of<br />

<strong>Henderson</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Investors</strong>, a lead<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>ternational <strong>in</strong>vestment<br />

manager established over 75 years ago, acquired Gartmore<br />

Group Limited.<br />

The comb<strong>in</strong>ed group offers <strong>in</strong>vestors <strong>the</strong> best of both companies<br />

with strengths <strong>in</strong> global and European equities, fixed <strong>in</strong>come, multimanager,<br />

absolute return, emerg<strong>in</strong>g markets, commercial property,<br />

technology and susta<strong>in</strong>able and responsible <strong>in</strong>vestment. The<br />

collective talent of <strong>the</strong> two groups offers a compell<strong>in</strong>g comb<strong>in</strong>ation<br />

of fund management expertise, global resources and corporate<br />

stability. Our <strong>in</strong>vestment approach means our managers are<br />

given <strong>the</strong> flexibility and freedom to pursue <strong>the</strong>ir own <strong>in</strong>vestment<br />

philosophies and processes with<strong>in</strong> a strong risk framework.<br />

Although markets rema<strong>in</strong> challeng<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>Henderson</strong>’s wide range<br />

of funds across different asset classes provides <strong>the</strong> flexibility to<br />

deliver good performance throughout <strong>the</strong> economic cycle.<br />

In addition to widen<strong>in</strong>g our fund offer<strong>in</strong>g for clients, <strong>the</strong> Gartmore<br />

acquisition means that <strong>Henderson</strong>’s bus<strong>in</strong>ess has also become<br />

more diversified. Just as <strong>in</strong>vestors are encouraged to create wellbalanced<br />

portfolios for <strong>the</strong>ir long-term <strong>in</strong>vestments, <strong>Henderson</strong> as<br />

a company offers a wide range of different asset classes, regions,<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestment strategies and fund management teams with no<br />

overreliance on any one <strong>in</strong> particular. This should help to provide<br />

valuable corporate stability for <strong>in</strong>vestors <strong>in</strong> our funds.<br />

we believe our funds should be considered as options by our<br />

clients.<br />

We recognise that change can sometimes be unsettl<strong>in</strong>g, which<br />

is why we have set ourselves a tough but realistic goal of<br />

complet<strong>in</strong>g all phases of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>tegration process for <strong>the</strong> UK<br />

• Developed Markets<br />

<strong>Henderson</strong>’s equity division comprises 73 fund managers who<br />

deliver an extensive range of <strong>in</strong>vestment strategies. These<br />

strategies cover <strong>the</strong> full risk/return spectrum from long-only<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestments to hedge fund strategies and can be offered on<br />

both a regional and global basis. The structure of <strong>Henderson</strong>’s<br />

equity teams allows talented and experienced fund managers<br />

to flourish.<br />

With several key Gartmore equity managers jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>Henderson</strong>,<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestors have access to an even broader and more diverse<br />

range of funds. Well-respected managers such as James<br />

<strong>Henderson</strong>, Graham Kitchen, Stuart O’Gorman,<br />

Stephen Peak and Richard Pease have been jo<strong>in</strong>ed by<br />

Gartmore managers John Bennett and Neil Rogan who<br />

each br<strong>in</strong>g more than 20 years’ experience to <strong>Henderson</strong>.<br />

• Emerg<strong>in</strong>g Markets<br />

The Gartmore acquisition has substantially enhanced <strong>Henderson</strong>’s<br />

emerg<strong>in</strong>g markets capability. The OBSR “AA” rated Gartmore<br />

Emerg<strong>in</strong>g Markets Opportunities Fund is one example of this.<br />

With more than two decades’ experience, <strong>the</strong> fund’s manager<br />

Chris Palmer is a key addition.<br />

For <strong>the</strong> UK retail market, <strong>Henderson</strong> has also enhanced its<br />

client offer<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a. As pioneers <strong>in</strong> Emerg<strong>in</strong>g Markets<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestment, Gartmore has been <strong>in</strong>vest<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> region s<strong>in</strong>ce<br />

1983. Fund Manager Charlie Awdry adopts a handson<br />

approach, visit<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> country regularly to meet <strong>the</strong><br />

management of Ch<strong>in</strong>ese companies. As manager of <strong>the</strong><br />

OBSR “A” rated Gartmore Ch<strong>in</strong>a Opportunities Fund, he jo<strong>in</strong>s<br />

<strong>Henderson</strong> with 10 years’ experience.<br />

Absolute Return<br />

Ben Wallace and Luke Newman’s UK Absolute Return<br />

Fund is a welcome addition to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Henderson</strong> fund range with<strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> absolute return sector. Outside of <strong>the</strong> UK, John Bennett<br />

and John Stewart are highly regarded Gartmore managers<br />

responsible for absolute return funds <strong>in</strong>vest<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Europe and<br />

Japan respectively.<br />

Multi-Manager<br />

Align<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> <strong>Henderson</strong> and Gartmore Multi-Manager offer<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

has created one of <strong>the</strong> largest and most experienced retail multimanager<br />

teams <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> UK. The comb<strong>in</strong>ation of Bill McQuaker<br />

alongside Tony Lann<strong>in</strong>g, who has jo<strong>in</strong>ed from Gartmore, makes<br />

for a highly regarded team with a broad range of complementary<br />

skills, from macroeconomic analysis to <strong>in</strong>-depth fund and<br />

manager research. The addition of <strong>the</strong> Gartmore Multi-Manager<br />

Absolute Return Fund enhances <strong>Henderson</strong>’s offer<strong>in</strong>g to retail<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestors.<br />

Cautious Managed<br />

The “AA” OBSR rated Gartmore Cautious Managed Fund managed<br />

by Chris Burvill is a high quality addition to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Henderson</strong><br />

fund range. Through active asset allocation, <strong>the</strong> manager seeks<br />

consistent steady returns with lower volatility than a pure equity<br />

fund. Chris Burvill, “AA” rated by Citywire has more than 28 years’<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestment experience.<br />

Fixed Income<br />

The successful comb<strong>in</strong>ation of <strong>Henderson</strong>’s retail fixed <strong>in</strong>come<br />

fund managers, John Pattullo, Jenna Barnard, James<br />

Gledhill and Ben Pakenham, will rema<strong>in</strong> unchanged.<br />

<strong>Henderson</strong> is a highly-respected global fixed <strong>in</strong>come asset<br />

Enhancements to <strong>the</strong><br />

current product range (cont<strong>in</strong>ued)<br />

Commercial Property<br />

Property is an important part of <strong>Henderson</strong>’s bus<strong>in</strong>ess with total property assets under management of £11bn as at 31 December<br />

2010. <strong>Henderson</strong> has built a strong reputation for its <strong>in</strong>dependent property research capability. Our research team’s output ranges<br />

from local forecasts through to macroeconomic commentary, and is fed <strong>in</strong>to every stage of our <strong>in</strong>vestment process, from strategy<br />

through to transaction analysis. In addition, <strong>Henderson</strong>’s property team has a strong market presence <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> UK, cont<strong>in</strong>ental Europe,<br />

North America and <strong>the</strong> Asia-Pacific region. We have a well developed network of relationships with brokers and pr<strong>in</strong>cipals and a<br />

reputation for efficiency and professionalism <strong>in</strong> transactions. This helps us to source and acquire <strong>the</strong> best stock and to achieve good<br />

and timely results on sales. The <strong>Henderson</strong> UK Property Unit Trust is a high quality retail offer<strong>in</strong>g with a focus on prime, modern, highquality<br />

commercial property.<br />

Susta<strong>in</strong>able and Responsible Investment<br />

<strong>Investors</strong> do not have to sacrifice performance for ethical and SRI considerations. In fact, select<strong>in</strong>g responsible companies can reduce<br />

risk and reveal hidden value that traditional <strong>in</strong>vestment strategies fail to spot. <strong>Henderson</strong> SRI strategies use a dist<strong>in</strong>ct screen<strong>in</strong>g<br />

process to select equity and fixed <strong>in</strong>come assets. Companies are chosen for <strong>the</strong>ir susta<strong>in</strong>able and environmental commitment and<br />

leadership.<br />

Integration timetable<br />

Phase 1 – Deal completion - 4 April 2011<br />

The acquisition of Gartmore completed on 4 April 2011 at which<br />

po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>Henderson</strong> Group plc officially took control of Gartmore<br />

Group Ltd, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g tak<strong>in</strong>g responsibility for management of<br />

Gartmore funds. Phase 2 of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>tegration process covers client<br />

adm<strong>in</strong>istration <strong>in</strong>tegration (see opposite).<br />

Up until 11 July 2011, all Gartmore funds will reta<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir exist<strong>in</strong>g<br />

names.<br />

You should use <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g contact details from 4 April 2011:<br />

Phase 2 – Client adm<strong>in</strong>istration <strong>in</strong>tegration and brand<br />

<strong>in</strong>tegration UK OEIC range - 8-10 July 2011<br />

This is <strong>the</strong> stage that <strong>the</strong> Gartmore UK OEIC funds move on to<br />

<strong>the</strong> same client service adm<strong>in</strong>istration systems as <strong>the</strong> equivalent<br />

<strong>Henderson</strong> UK domiciled funds. Please note that deal<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />

all <strong>Henderson</strong> and Gartmore funds will not be possible<br />

on Friday 8 July 2011 for <strong>the</strong> UK range. All funds will adopt<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Henderson</strong> name apart from merg<strong>in</strong>g funds which will reta<strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Gartmore name until merged. The client adm<strong>in</strong>istration<br />

<strong>in</strong>tegration phase for <strong>the</strong> UK OEIC range should be greatly<br />

facilitated by <strong>the</strong> fact that Gartmore and <strong>Henderson</strong> use <strong>the</strong><br />

same third party adm<strong>in</strong>istrator.<br />

Phase 3 – Fund merger completion UK OEIC range -<br />

summer 2011<br />

Merg<strong>in</strong>g funds with similar objectives will simplify <strong>the</strong> fund range<br />

changes and a small number of mergers are planned for summer<br />

2011 (see pages 3 and 4). We will be discuss<strong>in</strong>g proposals with<br />

<strong>the</strong> relevant boards, <strong>the</strong> regulatory authorities and key clients and<br />

will provide more details about <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>tegration of <strong>the</strong> Luxembourg<br />

fund ranges <strong>in</strong> due course.<br />

Questions and Answers<br />

Q1: How will adm<strong>in</strong>istration of my Gartmore funds be<br />

affected by <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>tegration?<br />

A: There will be no change <strong>in</strong> fund adm<strong>in</strong>istration until<br />

11 July 2011. Until <strong>the</strong>n, <strong>you</strong> should contact Gartmore’s<br />

fund adm<strong>in</strong>istration team as normal. Please refer to <strong>the</strong><br />

timetable of mail<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> this brochure.<br />

Q2: Can I switch from a Gartmore to a <strong>Henderson</strong> fund<br />

and will this switch be on favourable terms?<br />

A: Until both Gartmore and <strong>Henderson</strong> funds are <strong>in</strong>tegrated<br />

<strong>in</strong>to a s<strong>in</strong>gle adm<strong>in</strong>istration platform on 11 July 2011,<br />

fund switches will not be possible.<br />

Q3: What happens if I hold a Gartmore ISA(s)?<br />

A: We will be writ<strong>in</strong>g to notify <strong>you</strong> of <strong>the</strong> change of ISA<br />

Plan Manager from Gartmore to <strong>Henderson</strong> and ask<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>you</strong> to complete and return a consent form. The process<br />

is straightforward and has no impact on <strong>the</strong> underly<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestments held with<strong>in</strong> <strong>you</strong>r Gartmore ISA. Never<strong>the</strong>less,<br />

this process has caused some confusion with clients <strong>in</strong><br />

previous acquisitions which is why we wanted to draw <strong>you</strong>r<br />

attention to it now. There is no action required at this stage<br />

and we will write to all <strong>in</strong>vestors with Gartmore ISAs towards<br />

<strong>the</strong> end of April with full details of what <strong>the</strong>y need to do.<br />

Q4: Will my Gartmore regular sav<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong>vestments be<br />

affected?<br />

A: Regular savers will rema<strong>in</strong> unaffected at deal completion.<br />

Money will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to be collected <strong>in</strong> accordance<br />

with <strong>you</strong>r direct debit <strong>in</strong>structions and <strong>in</strong>vested <strong>in</strong> <strong>you</strong>r<br />

chosen fund(s). There will be a temporary change which<br />

will affect <strong>the</strong> July 2011 collection dates. Collections<br />

ord<strong>in</strong>arily taken between <strong>the</strong> 8th to <strong>the</strong> 18th of <strong>the</strong> month<br />

will be taken on <strong>the</strong> 19th. Collection dates will revert back<br />

to <strong>the</strong>ir normal dates <strong>in</strong> August 2011. We will be notify<strong>in</strong>g<br />

all affected clients.<br />

Q5: Will I still get half-yearly statements?<br />
