1 Performance to 31 st December 2017 Fund Factsheet IFSL Sinfonia Risk Targeted Fund Range

2 IFSL Sinfonia OEIC Portfolios Performance to 31 st December 2017 Investment Commentary Market Overview Global equities posted further gains in December, with the MSCI AC World Index in dollars (+1.5%) up for the 14th consecutive month. The MSCI Index rose by 3.4%, driven by a rally in the indices of oil-producing countries, especially in Latin America. Oil gained 5.3%, hitting a high since mid-2015 as WTI moved above the USD 60/ bbl level. Commodities in general got a boost late in the year from the solidity of the economy. Investors were reassured by the bright outlook for global growth, which was reinforced by the US s adoption of the tax cut package against a backdrop of still-modest inflation, which is giving Central Banks some leeway in not rushing the process of normalising their monetary policy. Equity volatility remained under control. Global equities gained 21.6% in 2017 (MSCI AC World), their best performance since While the US equity markets peaked to record levels (The Dow Jones 30 gained 1.8% and the S&P 500, 1.0%, driven during the first half of the month by the prospect of tax cuts being approved at last by yearend) in the Eurozone markets took a hit late in the month as the Euro moved back above USD This caused investors to overlook the latest improvement in economic activity surveys, which showed that growth is still very solid, along with the ECB s accommodative tone pointing to a long period of stability in key rates. The EuroStoxx 50 turned down mid-month ending 1.9% lower. Japanese equities continued to rally in December driven by a weaker yen, the economic upturn (which is driving corporate earnings prospects), and the Bank of Japan s ongoing ultra-accommodative monetary policy. UK equities had a Christmas bonanza in December returning their strongest monthly performance of the year with the FTSE 100 gaining 5%, resulting in full year total return of +11.9%. The abovementioned gains in commodities, progress in the Brexit negotiations and good November retail sales kept the market in buoyant mood amid the backdrop of a solid global macroeconomic outlook. Following the rate hike by the Bank of England in November, the meeting in December was a more muted affair as all members voted to keep policy unchanged, although we do note hints coming out of the Board towards future action that may be needed to keep inflation towards the target level. At the FOMC meeting, the Fed funds target range, which had been on hold since June, was raised by 25bp to between 1.25% and 1.50%, a decision that had already been priced into the market, so reaction was limited. In its official communiqué, the FOMC s assessment of economic activity in general and the job market in particular remained highly optimistic, reflecting solid indicators released in recent weeks. In contrast the ECB made no change to its monetary policy standing, confirming that it will keep rates at their current level for an extended period of time and well beyond the timetable set for net asset purchases. In FX markets, Sterling was largely unchanged versus the USD thanks to an end of year rally which offset some of the depreciation that occurred mid-month. USD weakness was also seen more strongly against the EUR resulting in a slight softening of the GBP vs EUR FX rate over the period.

10 IFSL Sinfonia OEIC Portfolios December 2017 Asset Class Returns Wondering which asset class to invest in for the best returns? Good luck! An asset class is a broad group of securities or investments that have similar financial characteristics, such as gilts or equities. The chart below shows the best performing to worst performing asset class each year. No single asset class is a consistent winner which is why having a blend of assets is so important.

11 IFSL Sinfonia OEIC Portfolios December 2017 Asset Class Returns Diversification reduces risk Predicting market movements over the long-term is impossible. It is very rare for a single asset class to outperform another consistently. That s why it makes sense to invest in a wide range of different assets rather than try to predict short-term market movements. Over time, a diversified portfolio could smooth your overall return, giving you a more balanced and consistent outcome compared to a single asset portfolio. Your financial adviser can help you decide which IFSL Sinfonia portfolio best suits your personal circumstances, time horizon, capacity for loss and attitude to risk. Each portfolio invests in a wide range of assets and is managed to a set level of risk. Because the portfolios are risk targeted, they will always stay at the same level of risk.
