Global Performance Signals: Q1 2021 Vaccine offers hope for later in 2021 but first half likely to remain challenging Performance Current Outlook Comment Signals Signal UK to contract again in Q4 and Q1 after nearly 16% growth in Q3. Until a Economic fundamentals vaccine rolled out, lopsided “W” profile to growth expected. Thinness of Brexit deal to reveal itself over time – financial services remain a concern. Macro Margin over bonds Real estate yields drifting outwards where risk has risen; gap narrowing for securest income. Corp. bond spreads back in line with pre-Covid levels Monetary policy Emergency cut to 0.1% and an expansion of QE has followed. More QE in November but vaccine hopes may mean risk of negative rates has faded Increasing number of segments may already be oversupplied through existing Supply stock; conversions may offer more hidden supply. But logistics supply arguably not keeping up with demand, especially in urban areas Flows of capital Lockdown to hamper recovery in volumes but tentative improvement expected Real Estate in H1 2021, although focus of investor demand to remain narrow Lending Traditional lenders hunkering down and pressured into forbearance; new lending remains highly constrained with refinancing concerns mounting Fund flows Flows relatively stable after initial outflows post re-opening. Lockdown could weaken sentiment; proposed regulatory change a barrier to inflows. REITs bounced on vaccine news but rental declines are still being priced into 360° view London specialists. Debt fund interest strong, as alternative lenders can demand healthy margins; may also imply lack of faith in equity component Sources: MSCI/IPD; Thomson Reuters Eikon; PMA; RCA; CBRE, Investment Association; Aberdeen Standard Investments, January 2021 Key: Trend: Performance signal: 27 Stable Supportive Upward trend Neutral Downward trend Unsupportive

Disclaimer Risk factors you should consider prior to investing: • The value of investments and the income from them can fall and investors may get back less than the amount invested. • Past performance is not a guide to future results. • Investment in the Company may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within 5 years. • The Company may borrow to finance further investment (gearing). The use of gearing is likely to lead to volatility in the Net Asset Value (NAV) meaning that any movement in the value of the company's assets will result in a magnified movement in the NAV. • The Company may accumulate investment positions which represent more than normal trading volumes which may make it difficult to realise investments and may lead to volatility in the market price of the Company's shares. • The Company may charge expenses to capital which may erode the capital value of the investment. • There is no guarantee that the market price of the Company's shares will fully reflect their underlying Net Asset Value. • As with all stock exchange investments the value of the Company's shares purchased will immediately fall by the difference between the buying and selling prices, the bid-offer spread. If trading volumes fall, the bid-offer spread can widen. • The Company invests in real estate which is a relatively illiquid asset class, the valuation of which is a matter of opinion. There is no recognised market for property and there can be delays in realising the value of assets. • The value of property may fluctuate as a result of factors outside the Company’s control • The Company’s ability to generate desired returns will depend on rental income generated and capital values of properties. • Yields are estimated figures and may fluctuate, there are no guarantees that future dividends will match or exceed historic dividends and certain investors may be subject to further tax on dividends. • The information contained herein including any expressions of opinion or forecasts have been obtained from or are based upon sources believed by us to be reliable but are not guaranteed as to their accuracy or completeness. • Tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each investor and may be subject to change in the future. You should obtain specific professional advice before making any investment decision. 42
