THE COMPANY

Investment Objective

The Company's Investment Objective is "is to provide Income shareholders with an attractive level of income with the potential for income and capital growth from a diversified portfolio of Investment Companies and to provide Growth shareholders with capital growth from a diversified portfolio of Investment Companies."

Investment Policy

The Income Portfolio invests in a diversified portfolio of at least 25 Investment Companies that have underlying investment exposures across a range of geographic regions and sectors and that focus on offering an income yield above that of the FTSE All-Share Index.

The Growth Portfolio invests in a diversified portfolio of at least 25 Investment Companies that have underlying investment exposures across a range of geographic regions and sectors and the focus of which is to maximise total returns, principally through capital growth.

The Company invests principally in closed-ended investment Companies, wherever incorporated, which are listed on the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority. The majority of the Company's holdings comprise equity investments although it is permitted to invest in other securities issued by Investment Companies. The Company is permitted to invest in other closed ended investment companies, wherever incorporated, whose shares are traded on AIM or a Regulated Exchange (other than the London Stock Exchange's Main Market) up to a maximum of 25 per cent of the total assets of the relevant Portfolio.

In accordance with the Listing Rules of the UK Listing Authority, the Company will not invest more than 10 per cent. in aggregate of its total assets in other UK listed Investment Companies that themselves may invest more than 15 per cent of their total assets in UK listed Investment Companies.

There are no maximum levels set for underlying exposures to geographic regions or sectors.

No investment in either Portfolio may exceed 15 per cent of the relevant Portfolio's total assets at the time of the latest purchase.

The Manager may invest the assets of the Company in other investment companies managed by the Manager or another member of the Columbia Threadneedle Investments group, provided that such investments in the Income or Growth Portfolios shall not exceed 20 per cent of the total assets of the relevant Portfolio at the time of investment.

There are no defined limits on securities and accordingly the Company may invest up to 100 per cent of total assets in any particular type of security.

The Company may use derivatives, principally for the purpose of efficient portfolio management, including protecting the Portfolios against market falls.

The Company may use gearing in either Portfolio. Borrowings are not normally expected to exceed 20 per cent of the total assets of the relevant Portfolio. Under the Company's Articles of Association, the maximum borrowing limit is 50 per cent of the total assets of the relevant Portfolio. The Directors will, however, retain flexibility to increase or decrease the level of gearing to take account of changing market circumstances and in pursuit of the Company's investment objectives.

The Company will announce any such change through a Regulatory Information Service.

Leverage

Maximum gross leverage based on the Company's power under its Articles, calculated in accordance with the requirements under the AIFM Directive is 200% under the Gross method and 200% under the Commitment method.

Material changes to leverage policies must be agreed by the Company and will be notified to shareholders via the Company's website at www.ctglobalmanagedportfolio.co.ukand its Annual Report and Accounts.

The Company's Investment Strategy is set out in full in the Strategic Report section of the Annual Report and Accounts, which can be accessed at www.ctglobalmanagedportfolio.co.uk

The directors of the AIFM are Rebecca Fuller, David Logan, Charles Porter, Ann Roughead, Ruth Sack, Richard Watts, Tina Watts and Marrack Tonkin.

The Company has entered into an amended and restated investment management agreement with the Manager effective 22 July 2014 appointing it to act as AIFM to the Company in accordance with the requirements of the AIFM Directive, which includes the provision of discretionary investment management services and risk oversight and management services in relation to the Company's investment portfolios.

Remuneration policy of the AIFM

In accordance with the AIFM Directive, Columbia Threadneedle Investment Business Limited (formerly BMO Investment Business Limited), the designated Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM") for CT Global Managed Portfolio Trust PLC, has adopted a remuneration policy which is consistent with the remuneration principles applicable to AIF management companies and aligned with the Columbia Threadneedle Asset Management (EMEA) Remuneration Policy. The size of the AIFM and the size of the funds it manages, the internal organisation and the nature, the scope and the complexity of their activities have been taken into consideration in this disclosure.

5

Remuneration policy

The purpose of the AIFM's remuneration policy is to describe the remuneration principles and practices within the AIFM and for such principles and practices:

to be consistent with, and promote, sound and effective risk management;

to be in line with the business strategy, objectives, values and interests of the AIFM; not to encourage excessive risk-taking as compared to the investment policy of the relevant sub-funds of the AIFM;

to provide a framework for remuneration to attract, motivate and retain staff (including directors) to which the policy applies in order to achieve the objectives of the AIFM; and to ensure that any relevant conflicts of interest can be managed appropriately at all times.

Decision making and governance

The board of directors (the "Board") of the AIFM is responsible for the remuneration policy of the AIFM and for determining the remuneration of the directors of the AIFM and other staff who undertake professional activities for the AIFM. The Board has delegated to Columbia Threadneedle AM (Holdings) PLC's Risk and Remuneration Committee (the "Committee") responsibility for maintaining a compliant remuneration policy. The Committee is solely comprised of non-executive directors of Columbia Threadneedle AM (Holdings) PLC. The Board has adopted the remuneration policy applicable to all members of the Group ("Columbia Threadneedle Asset Management (EMEA)") for this financial year as reviewed and approved by the Committee periodically (at least annually). The Committee is responsible for, and oversees, the implementation of the remuneration policy in line with the AIFMD Regulations. The Board considers that the members of the Committee have appropriate expertise in risk management and remuneration to perform this review.

Applicability

The remuneration policy, which incorporates compliance with AIFMD requirements applies to staff whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the AIFM or of the funds it manages ("Identified Staff") and so covers:

1. senior management;
2. risk takers;
3. control functions; and
4. employees receiving total remuneration that takes them into the same remuneration bracket as senior management and risk takers, whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the AIFM.

The Identified Staff list and the selection criteria above are subject to regular review (at least annually) by the Committee as well as formally reviewed in the event of significant organisation changes and changes in remuneration regulations the AIFM is subject to.

Linking remuneration with performance

The AIFM's remuneration policy is part of the Columbia Threadneedle Asset Management (EMEA) framework that promotes sound remuneration management, with the objective of providing total compensation to its employees that is warranted by corporate, business unit/function and individual performance and is comparable to market competitors, whilst being consistent with and promoting sound and effective risk management and the achievement of fair outcomes for all customers. Its purpose is to facilitate achievement of the business objectives and corporate values of the AIFM, with the primary focus on clients, whilst ensuring that Columbia Threadneedle Asset Management (EMEA) is able to attract, retain and motivate the key talent required to achieve these business objectives and corporate values without incentivising excessive or inappropriate risk.

6

When setting remuneration levels, the following components and principles form part of the remuneration management framework:

1. Fixed remuneration is determined taking into account factors including the requirements of the particular role and the staff member's experience, expertise, contribution level and the fixed pay for comparable roles. Fixed remuneration is set, with reference to market data, at a level that is sufficient to attract high calibre staff as well as to permit the operation of a fully-flexible remuneration policy (including the possibility of a staff member receiving reduced or no variable remuneration in a particular year). The Committee keeps the balance between fixed and variable remuneration under review.

1. Variable remuneration is determined annually by reference to both financial and non- financial AIFM performance considerations. External competitor practices are included in the funding review to ensure compensation opportunities in the markets within which the AIFM operates are given due consideration and retention risks are effectively managed. Incentive funding is developed in view of current and projected economics and risks, supported by Columbia Threadneedle Asset Management (EMEA) Audit and Compliance Committee inputs, ensuring risk-adjustments and qualitative and quantitative considerations, such as the cost and quantity of capital and liquidity are actively considered as funding adjustments. The Committee ensures that all incentive awards are not paid through vehicles or methods that facilitate the avoidance of the requirements with regard to remuneration imposed by applicable law and/or regulations.

1. Variable remuneration is allocated to respective business functions by reference to:

1. contribution of the respective business function or unit to corporate

performance;

1. business function performance relative to pre-determined targets and objectives, including adherence to risk management obligations; and

1. competitive market pay data.

Individual award allocations are referenced to the individual achievement during the performance year relative to pre-agreed objectives and assessment of market comparability. Performance is assessed in relation to pre-agreed objectives, which include financial and non-financial goals (including the achievement of fair customer outcomes), compliance with the Group's policies and procedures, adherence to risk management and compliance requirements and the Group's Code of Conduct. The assessment of performance for Identified Staff reflects multi-year performance in a manner appropriate to the life-cycle of the funds that are managed by the AIFM.

1. Application of Financial Conduct Authority's Handbook (SYSC 19B: AIFMD Remuneration Code) pay-out process rules, save for disapplication at individual or AIFM level, which is determined by an annual proportionality assessment.

Quantitative remuneration disclosure

The total remuneration paid by Columbia Threadneedle Investment Business Limited to its staff is zero, as all AIFM staff are employed by other companies in Columbia Threadneedle Asset Management (EMEA).

The table below provides an overview of aggregate total remuneration paid to AIFM Identified Staff in respect of the proportion of their pay aligned to their AIFM responsibilities. It is not possible to apportion remuneration by individual Identified Staff working on a specific investment fund, therefore figures are provided in aggregate on an AIFM basis.

The Depositary

The Company has appointed J.P. Morgan Europe Limited (JPMEL) to provide depositary services, in accordance with the AIFM Directive and certain other associated rules, pursuant to the terms of a depositary agreement dated 22 July 2014 to which both the Company and the AIFM are parties. The services provided by JPMEL as depositary for the Company include:

• general oversight responsibilities over the issue and cancellation of the Company's share capital, the carrying out of net asset value calculations, the application of income, and the ex-post review of investment transactions;
• monitoring the Company's cash flows and ensuring that all cash is booked in appropriate accounts in the name of the Company or the Manager or JPMEL acting on behalf of the Company; and

8

• ensuring that J.P. Morgan Chase Bank Limited (JPMCB) (to whom JPMEL has delegated the safekeeping of all assets held within the Company's investment portfolio, including those classed as financial instruments for the purpose of the AIFM Directive, in accordance with the terms of a Global Custody Agreement to which both the Company and the AIFM are also a party) retains custody of the Company's financial instruments in segregated accounts so that they can be clearly identified as belonging to the Company and maintains records sufficient for verification of the Company's ownership rights in relation to assets other than financial instruments. No specific conflicts have been identified as arising as a result of the delegation of the provision of custody and safekeeping services by JPMEL to JPMCB.

The terms of the depositary agreement provide that, where certain assets of the Company are invested in a country whose laws require certain financial instruments to be held in custody by a local entity and no such entity is able to satisfy the requirements under the AIFM Directive in relation to use of delegates by depositaries, JPMEL may still delegate its functions to such a local entity and be fully discharged of all liability for loss of financial instruments of the Company by such local entity. However, this is strictly subject to the prior approval of the Directors and a prior notification to shareholders.

Although the Depositary has delegated the safekeeping of all assets held within the Company's investment portfolio to JPMCB, in the event of loss of those assets that constitute financial instruments under the AIFM Directive, the Depositary will be obliged to return to the Company financial instruments of an identical type, or the corresponding amount of money, unless it can demonstrate that the loss has arisen as a result of an external event beyond its reasonable control, the consequences of which would have been unavoidable despite all reasonable efforts to the contrary.

The Depositary receives an annual fee for its services of one basis point of the Company's net assets, payable monthly in arrears. The depositary agreement in place with JPMEL and the related custody agreement in place with JPMCB continues unless and until terminated by the Company giving not less than 90 days' notice or by JPMEL giving not less than 120 days' notice, in each case such notice to be effective no earlier than the first anniversary of the effective date.

The Depositary's duties are owed to the Company and not directly to investors in the Company, whether individually or in groups. Accordingly, investors may not bring any action or make a claim against the Depositary under the depositary agreement.
