  • Over the last three months the fund returned 3.83% compared to the FTSE All-Share Total Return index’s return of 5.09%.
  • The strongest performers included Morrisons and UDG, both of which received private equity bids. Ashtead, Smith and Nephew and AstraZeneca were up over 15% during the period.
  • We will vote against deals which undervalue our portfolio companies, as we did recently with UDG, and will advise companies to use their best defences.
  • We have continued to find new opportunities in companies that are investing in future growth. AstraZeneca, Inchcape and Glencore were all added to the portfolio during the quarter.
  • Our valuation control led to the complete sale of Sage and Diageo. We sold Antofagasta on news of a deterioration in the political and tax situation Chile.
