4 Report of the Manager The Report of the Manager consists of The Trust, Investment Objectives & Policy, The Trust's Performance, Risk and Reward Profile, Investment Adviser's Comments and Portfolio Statement. The Trust is an authorised Unit Trust scheme under section 243 of the Financial Services and Markets Act (2000) and is constituted by a Trust Deed dated 13 October The Unit Trust is subject to the rules of the Financial Conduct Authority's Collective Investment Scheme Sourcebook and is classified as a Non-UCITS retail scheme. Investment Objectives & Policy The investment objective of the Scheme is to achieve capital growth over the medium to long term. The Scheme will aim to achieve this objective by investing predominantly in global equities via collective investment schemes managed by the Manager. The Scheme is permitted to invest directly into global equities and up to 100% in other collective investment schemes (which may include exchange traded funds). It is anticipated that such schemes will be established in England and Wales as FCA authorised funds. The Scheme is also permitted to invest in other types of transferable securities, money market instruments, and deposits. The Scheme is permitted to use derivatives and forward transactions for the purposes of efficient portfolio management (including hedging). The Trust's Performance The performance of the Trust since its launch in November 2017 is shown below. L Income units (offer to offer)* L Accumulation units (offer to offer)* H Accumulation units (offer to offer)* Z Accumulation units (offer to offer)* Source: Lipper for Fund returns 06/11/17 to 31/07/18 % change * Class L Income, L Accumulation, H Accumulation and Z Accumulation units were made available on 6 November 2017 and the performance shown is from that date. REMEMBER THAT THE PRICE OF UNITS AND REVENUE FROM THEM MAY GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. Risk and Reward Profile The synthetic risk and reward indicator for the, as disclosed in its most recent Non-UCITS Retail Scheme Key Investor Information Document (NURS- KIID), is a 5. It was calculated using indicative performance data for the type of investments held, as the Scheme itself was only launched on 6 November
5 Report of the Manager (continued) Investment Adviser's Comments The St. James s Place Global Growth Unit Trust is structured as a multi-manager fund of funds, where each Investment Adviser invests their segment of the fund into units in underlying St. James s Place unit trusts, of which they are the sole Investment Adviser: Investment Adviser Sands Capital Management LLC EdgePoint Investment Group Inc Select Equity Group L.P. Magellan Asset Management Limited Underlying Unit Trust St. James s Place Equity A Unit Trust St. James s Place Equity B Unit Trust St. James s Place Equity C Unit Trust St. James s Place International Equity Unit Trust Each of the following Investment Adviser s Comments relate to the holdings of those underlying unit trusts. When the fund launched, the general market was in the midst of an unprecedented lull in volatility. Even though bouts of volatility occurred soon after, they weren t widespread or longstanding. While we re waiting for the market to change, we aren t doing so idly, and we continue to research potential future holdings in anticipation of a return to more volatility. An example of a misunderstood but attractively-priced company that suffered despite a lack of volatility is Affiliated Managers Group. It buys equity stakes in asset managers and uses in-house expertise to help guide future growth. The rise in passive management, general market valuation fears and the departure of its CEO (for health reasons) have weighed on the stock price recently. Despite these issues, Affiliated Managers still has a diversified business, 40% of which is alternative platforms such as private equity and real estate. It s never been valued lower, and with nine times free cash flow, it still returns an 11% yield without any growth. We spoke with management and have confidence that, despite the CEO change, their vision of the company in five years is unchanged, and that they can continue on the path. Consumer staples and health care were the strongest sectors. Top performer Shiseido came from the former sector, while the third and fourth-biggest contributors, Swedish Orphan Biovitrum and Bioverativ, belonged to the latter. Our Shiseido thesis focused on the changes made by management such as reinvestments in advertising and R&D to capitalize on the strength of their core offerings, specifically luxury brands. We sold Bioverativ holdings after an acquisition by Sanofi at a 64% premium and Microsemi Corp. after an acquisition announcement. The only holding belonging to the weakest sector, energy, was PrairieSky Royalty. Natural gas price drops hurt PrairieSky, but it deployed its free cash to create new royalties and buy land at attractive valuations. Key purchases included paint manufacturer Sherwin-Williams, Fairfax Financial Holdings and global high-end restaurant and industrial food processing equipment manufacturer Middleby. In addition to the acquisitions of Bioverativ and Microsemi, we sold Live Nation Entertainment, Aena, Anthem, Deutsche Wohnen and Brenntag after our theses on these companies played out. Threats of trade wars can have significant short-term effects on global portfolios, but there is great potential for rewards for those with a willingness to wait. Making macro level predictions isn t our biggest strength. Instead, we rely on our ability to analyse businesses to help us act decisively when price disjunctions relative to their value occur, whether in new or existing holdings. EdgePoint Investment Group Inc 14 August
6 Report of the Manager (continued) Global stocks rose over the six months after companies posted higher-than-expected earnings, the US economy expanded briskly, the Federal Reserve tightened monetary policy only as much as had been expected, Germany and Italy formed workable coalitions, and Japan promised to keep up monetary stimulus. Gains were capped when the US imposed import restrictions that could lead to trade wars with the EU and China, and concerns mounted that US inflation might accelerate. The portfolio is running a relatively high allocation to cash because macroeconomic risks are elevated and recorded a positive return for the period. The stocks that performed best included the investments in Apple and HCA Healthcare. Apple rose on the strong growth in its services division. HCA Healthcare rose on increasing patient numbers and a rise in the percentage of more profitable treatments. Stocks that lagged included the investments in Kraft Heinz and Wells Fargo. Kraft Heinz fell as investors discounted the perceived cost of the company undertaking a major acquisition, and as revenue growth slowed. Wells Fargo slid after the Federal Reserve took the unusual step of banning the bank from expanding its assets until the lender can show it has resolved compliance and other issues. Over the period, we exited from Sanofi and Tesco on relative valuation grounds and established positions in SAP and Reckitt Benckiser. Global stocks might be around record highs but risks abound. The main one is interest rate policy. We see a fifty-fifty chance of a disruptive rise in US interest rates if the Federal Reserve sees the need to respond to inflationary pressures. Another concern is trade tensions between the US and China, which could delay investment and hiring decisions or result in permanent trade barriers, outcomes that would slow economic growth. Magellan Asset Management Limited 14 August 2018 Global equity markets (as measured by the MSCI All Country World Index) traded higher during the period, despite a number of volatility-inducing factors, including diverging regional growth prospects, trade policy uncertainty, fluctuating international relations, and increases in each of the US Dollar, 10-Year Treasury yield, and benchmark oil prices. Notably, a number of these factors weighed on some of the more fragile emerging markets, which saw sharp declines in their equity markets and currencies. The impact was particularly severe in Argentina, Brazil, and Turkey. The US was a bright spot, posting broad-based sales and earnings growth. Additionally, the US extended its economic expansion, and the unemployment rate fell to its lowest since This landscape especially relative to the dampening prospects elsewhere in the world resulted in strong stock returns, especially for faster-growing sectors. The consumer discretionary and financials sectors were the top contributors to relative investment results, while energy was the sole detractor. From a regional perspective, the US/Canada and Emerging Asia were the top relative contributors, while the Middle East & Africa region was a modest detractor. On a relative basis, the top five contributors to investment results for the period were Amazon, Netflix, Illumina, Nike, and Visa. The top relative detractors were Incyte, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Rolls-Royce, Facebook, and Keyence. Continued economic expansion and earnings growth benefited many of our consumer discretionary businesses during the period. Not confined to any one region, contributing businesses were from the US (Amazon, Netflix, Nike), Japan (Fast Retailing), and the UK (Zalando). 5
7 Report of the Manager (continued) The strategy has maintained a zero-percent weighting to energy businesses since the fourth quarter of 2015, which detracted from results during the period, as energy stocks rose along with recovering oil prices and earnings. While we are not averse to owning energy businesses, today we see a large and compelling investable universe of companies benefiting from secular growth drivers and without exposure to such significant and inherent exogenous risks such as oil price volatility. During the period, we purchased Adyen, Align Technology, Atlassian, and Keyence. We sold Chipotle Mexican Grill and Rolls-Royce. We don t attempt to predict the leading or lagging sectors and countries on a quarterly basis. Rather, we continue to believe that investing in leading franchises capable of generating aboveaverage earnings growth across economic cycles is the most prudent way to add value over time. Sands Capital Management LLC 14 August 2018 The beginning of the first half of 2018 put an end to the market tranquillity of 2017, with a few bouts of volatility but with broader volatility still at historically low levels. Given the ongoing cyclical and structural monetary normalization occurring after many years of significant policymaker involvement in the setting of asset prices, we should expect and be prepared for more volatility for the foreseeable future. In addition, US protectionism represents a growing threat to economies and capital markets the world over. Global economic prospects are diverging and becoming more uncertain, threatening the synchronized growth that powered markets higher and with so little volatility in Global equities (in sterling terms) posted gains during the period from the SJP Global Growth Fund s inception in November 2017 through July Moreover, the fund outperformed the wider market. Our top 10 contributors included eight US and two non-us companies, in a period in which virtually all of the return in the MSCI All Country World Index (sterling-based) was contributed by US equities. Our top US contributors included Thermo Fisher, the largest global distributor and manufacturer of laboratory equipment and supplies, and Alphabet, the largest provider of digital advertising services. Our top non-us contributors included AIA Group, a provider of life insurance in emerging Asia, and Adidas, the world s second-largest maker of athletic apparel and footwear. All four of these companies reported very strong top-line growth and robust earnings during the period. The top two detractors over the period were Grupo Televisa, the dominant broadcaster in Mexico, and Mohawk Industries, the largest global flooring manufacturer. Grupo Televisa s management launched an ambitious new investment program, which will weigh on margins just as the company should have been enjoying a rebound in profitability, and we exited our position. During the first half of 2018 through July, we took advantage of market and share price weakness to initiate new positions in Waters, Alibaba Group and Berkshire Hathaway. We exited our positions in Ecolab, Safran and Coloplast, in each case selling into valuation. Select Equity Group 14 August
