AGM statement and corporate update

Fundsmith Emerging Equities Trust plc ("FEET" or the "Company"), will be holding its Annual General Meeting today at which the following information will be announced.

Update to portfolio management arrangements

The Board is pleased to announce that Michael O'Brien and Sandip Patodia have been promoted by Fundsmith LLP ("Fundsmith"), following consultation with the Board, to the roles of FEET's Portfolio Manager and Assistant Portfolio Manager, respectively, with effect from 31 May 2019.

Michael and Sandip joined Fundsmith ahead of the launch of FEET in 2014 and have formed the core of the Company's investment management team. Terry Smith, in his capacity as Chief Investment Officer ("CIO") of Fundsmith LLP, will provide advice and support to Michael and Sandip, who will continue to draw on Terry's decades of investment experience and expertise. Jonathan Imlah and Tom Boles will continue to assist as research analysts.

Amendment to investment management fee

The Board is also pleased to announce that it has agreed with Fundsmith a reduction in FEET's annual fee from 1.25 per cent to 1.00 per cent of the Company's net asset value, with effect from 31 May 2019.

Martin Bralsford, Chairman of Fundsmith Emerging Equities Trust plc, commented:

"The promotion by Fundsmith LLP of Michael and Sandip to Portfolio Manager and Assistant Portfolio Manager reflects the prominent roles they have had for some time and is a natural progression of the team. The Board look forward to working more closely with Michael and Sandip with the ongoing support of Terry in his capacity as Fundsmith's Chief Investment Officer."

Terry Smith, Chief Executive and Chief Investment Officer of Fundsmith LLP, said

"I am delighted that the significant role played by Michael and Sandip in the formation of the fund and its ongoing activities is being recognised. The initial success of Fundsmith's other investment trust has made me realise that my oversight as CIO, with dedicated fund managers doing the day to day work, has worked extremely well and I believe the changes we are announcing today will help deliver the long term outperformance that we seek. The fee reduction also brings the charges closer into line with our other funds whilst recognising the greater geographical research coverage that we have to maintain on FEET."
