1 Investment Manager s Commentary (1 st March 2014 to 31 st March 2014) Equity markets went through a period of volatility during the first quarter as concerns over the situation in the Ukraine and worries about a slowdown in China weighed on sentiment. Towards the end of March however, the mood improved. Geopolitical tensions began to ease and there was some confidence in China s determination to stimulate the economy as necessary. In the US, encouraging employment figures provided further evidence that the recovery is gaining traction; this will allow a further round of tapering to be absorbed by the economy. In the eurozone the perceived risk of deflation ensures that monetary conditions will remain loose for some time, which should support the on-going recovery in the region. During the month we finished buying Indra Sistemas, the IT services company -which forms part of our theme linked to Spain s recovery - and continued to top up Archer, the oil services company. We took advantage of price weakness to add to The Fresh Market, a US high quality supermarket chain which fits in with our ageing west theme and bought further shares in Royal Bank of Scotland following a meeting with an analyst. The St Joe Company, which owns a large area of development land in Florida, was topped up after a visit to the company. St Joe has a significant amount of cash on its balance sheet and we are confident that the management will deploy this sensibly and to the advantage of its shareholders. Resolution to the issues surrounding Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena is becoming clearer and we therefore bought more shares, bringing the holding to a full position. In March, a new investment was made in Telecom Italia. The current valuations of telecom companies in Europe imply that these businesses will remain in terminal decline. In Telecom Italia s case, we believe that the market s pessimism is overblown and does not adequately reflect the potential for average revenue per user ( ARPU ) improvement in the mid-term as the market structure rationalises, high-speed broadband is rolled out and consumer spending levels recover. Telecom Italia is well-placed to benefit from positive shifts in its domestic market, including a long-needed loosening of the EU regulatory grip, the removal of obstacles to industry consolidation and investment in high-speed broadband. (Italy s average broadband download speeds are currently about a quarter of other major European peers). In the mid-term, the company is likely to benefit from improving economics and increasing pricing power. Italy s ARPUs are low compared with other countries and are unlikely to continue to decline if industry consolidation takes place and/or high speed broadband is rolled out. Telecom Italia should also benefit from growth in mobile data - usage in Italy is growing at over 70% p.a*, further supporting ARPU growth potential. Investors should benefit from even relatively modest upticks in ARPU because of Telecom Italia s operating leverage: we estimate that every 1 increase in ARPU leads to an increase of around 20% in EPS. We believe that the market is too focused on Telecom Italia s shortterm, addressable problems and is undervaluing the company s longerterm upside potential. At current prices, the company is yielding 9% 2014 (estimated) unlevered free cash flow ( FCF ) and 17% 2014 (estimated) equity FCF*, providing an attractive base from which to build a position. Telecom Italia provides fixed line, mobile and data transmission services in Italy and overseas, particularly Brazil and Argentina. a Discrete Annual Performance (%) 12 Months Ending We continued to take profits from Lagardere, which has performed extremely well.

5 Investment Objective The Company's investment objective is to seek to achieve long-term capital growth with some potential for income. To achieve the investment objective, the Company s investment policy is to invest principally in a portfolio of global equities, and may also invest in other transferable securities, bonds, units and/or shares in collective investment schemes, warrants, money market instruments, cash, near cash and deposits. There is no limit to which the Company can be invested in each sector or asset type, nor is there any particular geographic focus. The Company may borrow and may enter into underwriting arrangements. It is the ACD s intention that derivatives and forward currency transactions will only be used for the purposes of efficient portfolio management, including hedging, as defined by the Regulations. From time to time the liquidity of the Company may be increased substantially if judged to be in the interests of investors. Charges Basic Management Fee: 0.3% of net assets per annum. Performance Fee: 10% of the outperformance versus the MSCI World Index in Sterling over the relevant performance period (maximum of 0.7% in a period of increase and 0.3% in a period of decrease of net assets).
