3 Insight s PLC Investment Manager s Report For the six months ended 30 June 2017 Market overview The Bank of England (BoE) kept its benchmark rate at a record low of 0.25% during the period under review. During the period, expectations for an interest rate hike gained momentum, as the BoE Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) became increasingly divided. At the last MPC meeting within the period three of the eight members were voting for a tightening of policy. Unemployment data has steadily declined, with the unemployment rate reaching 4.6% in May, the lowest level since The participation rate rose to the joint highest level since 1971, indicating that the labour market now has little spare capacity. Sentiment in the manufacturing sector is becoming more positive, with the CBI monthly survey showing order books at multi-decade highs, led by demand for exports. Wages remain subdued though and, with inflation rising, consumers are constrained. Retail sales data has moderated and recorded a 0.8% contraction in May. The housing market is also an ongoing cause for concern, as changes to the tax system have put pressure on prices, especially in London. In June, the UK election returned a shock result, with the Conservative party failing to gain seats as expected and with the country instead returning a hung parliament, where no one party had an overall majority. This led to the Conservative party negotiating a confidence and supply agreement with the Northern Irish DUP in order to retain power. Although this does provide some stability in the short term, it has increased political risk at a sensitive time. This is expected to have some negative impact on both consumer and business confidence. The 1-month sterling Libor rate edged lower, beginning the period at 0.26% and ending at 0.25%. The 3-month Libor rate began the year at 0.37% and decreased to 0.30% by the end of the period. Short-dated gilts yields rose. Over the period, 2-year gilt yields rose from 0.05% to 0.36%. Portfolio review The returned 0.17% gross of fees over the period under review versus the 7-day sterling Libid return of 0.06%. The s duration and yield curve positioning relative to the benchmark were positive for returns. strategy was unchanged during the period, remaining focused on security and liquidity: trading focused largely on highly liquid, short-dated instruments. The primarily made additions to the certificates of deposit and commercial paper portfolio from bank issuers. The also traded UK gilts during the period under review and bought bonds issued by Rabobank. The weighted average maturity of the was 51 days at the beginning of the period, and fell to 32 days at the end of June. Outlook The UK faces a challenging period ahead as the government negotiates with the European Union on the terms of its exit. The election result will not make this easier, and increases the political uncertainty facing the country. The economy has built significant momentum, with unemployment now at low levels, but the negative impact on business and consumer confidence is likely to have some connotations for future growth. The BoE is positioning for the start of the tightening cycle, and some MPC members are now unwilling to look through the upwards move in inflation, concerned that the economy is now tight enough for higher inflation to be sustained. Volatile economic data and a housing market which is showing signs of softness, make the decision of when to tighten policy difficult. Another problem is the plunge in the UK saving rate, meaning that consumers are ill prepared for higher mortgage payments once interest rates do rise.

Portfolio review The returned 0.40% gross of fees over the six-month period under review versus the 3-month sterling Libid return of 0.10%. Asset allocation was positive for returns as a result of positive carry and rolling over floating rate notes. The primarily made additions to the certificates of deposit and commercial paper (CP) portfolio from bank issuers. The also made some purchases of euro-denominated CP which was then fully hedged back into sterling in order to generate a higher return. The also made selected additions to the floating rate notes portfolio including issues from Lloyds Bank and Santander. The traded UK gilts and UK treasury bills during the period. In ABS an issue from a master trust of a building society and covered bonds from various banks were added to the portfolio.

15 Insight s PLC Dollar Investment Manager s Report For the six months ended 30 June 2017 Market overview Positive sentiment towards the US economy is starting to fade, as the plans for a fiscal stimulus and tax cut by President Trump are becoming increasingly uncertain. The labor market has continued to tighten however, with the unemployment rate dropping to 4.3% in May. Other data points released towards the end of the period were more mixed. Manufacturing production contracted by 0.4% month-on-month in May and retail sales contracted by 0.3% month-on-month. With inflation data also showing signs of moderation (headline CPI moved from 2.2% in April to 1.9% in May and core inflation also softened to 1.7%), there is now speculation that the US Federal Reserve may move to a neutral position sooner than previously expected. Minutes released for the June US Federal Open Market Committee meeting showed a growing divide among voting members. Several participants raised concerns that progress towards the 2% inflation objective may have slowed, and that recent softness in inflation might persist. This culminated in Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari dissenting from the vote to increase the target range. The central bank continued to tighten policy through the period however, taking their policy rate to a range of % by the end of June. In money markets, the 1-month dollar Libor rate rose from 0.77% to 1.22% and the 3-month rate rose from 1.00% to 1.30 % over the six months. Portfolio review The returned 0.50% gross of fees over the six-month period under review versus the 7-day US dollar Libid return of 0.40%. The s duration and yield curve positioning relative to the benchmark were positive for returns. Activity was focused on short-dated and liquid securities and overnight deposits. The weighted average maturity of the was 24 days at the beginning of the period, and fell to 23 days by the end of June. Outlook While economic activity remains solid, expectations have proven too optimistic, buoyed by talk of a significant fiscal stimulus from the incoming president. This has resulted in some data disappointment and as yet it is unclear whether these data points suggest a meaningful deterioration in the US growth dynamic. As expected, the Federal Reserve raised the interest rate corridor for the federal funds target rate by 25bp at its June meeting, and continues to implement their gradual rate hiking cycle. The updated dot plot of economic projections still suggests a third rate hike this year, but market pricing suggests scepticism that economic data, particularly inflation, will recover sufficiently. Three further interest rates hikes are projected for On balance sheet reduction, a clear plan has been outlined, which involves a tiered adjustment in their securities holdings. Should the economy be doing well this could start as early as September. Insight Investment s Management Limited 160 Queen Victoria Street London EC4V 4LA England July

18 Insight s PLC Euro Cash Investment Manager s Report For the six months ended 30 June 2017 Market overview European GDP data recorded a stronger-than-expected expansion in Q1 of 0.6% quarter-on-quarter, increasing speculation that the European Central Bank (ECB) will taper its quantitative easing program later in the year. This was exacerbated by ECB President Draghi, who talked about scaling back bond purchases, although he later appeared to try and moderate market sentiment surrounding the remarks. Headline inflation data decelerated to 1.3% year-on-year in June, and the recent strength of the euro is expected to have a dampening effect on future inflation if sustained. The eurozone business and consumer confidence survey for June showed that economic sentiment has risen to the highest level since August 2007, indicating positive economic momentum. Unemployment is steadily declining in previously crisis hit countries such as Greece and Spain, and this is an important factor underpinning the recovery in growth. Approximately 6.4m jobs have been created in the euro area since the peak in unemployment and the bank lending survey suggests that demand for consumer credit is now strengthening. Political risks diminished over the period, with centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron winning the French presidential election and a benign outcome in the Dutch elections. Although risks have not disappeared entirely, these results will act as a further boost to confidence, making it more likely that the euro area recovery will continue. In money markets, the 1-month Euribor rate was unchanged at -0.37% and the 3-month rate fell from -0.32% to -0.33%. Portfolio review The returned -0.21% gross of fees over the period under review versus the 7-day euro Libid return of -0.25%. The s duration and yield curve positioning relative to the benchmark were positive for returns. Activity was focused largely on highly liquid short-dated securities. The primarily made additions to the certificates of deposit and commercial paper portfolio from bank issuers. The also purchased a number of bonds issued mainly by banks as well as treasury bills issued by the French government. The weighted average maturity of the was 38 days at the beginning of the period and rose to 39 days by the end of June. Outlook Momentum within the euro area economy is gaining traction. The percentage of all sectors in the euro area that currently have positive growth was 84% in Q vs. an historical average of 74%, showing that the recovery is broad-based and not driven by any single sector or country. Critically, those countries worst hit by previous crisis are now enjoying the benefits of painful reforms, returning to growth and generating jobs. Political risks have diminished, but have not disappeared entirely. The ongoing negotiations regarding the UKs exit of the EU are likely to prove difficult, and the risks of the UK leaving without access to the single market or a trade deal are high. In Germany, Schulz and the SPD party have fallen back in the polls, but Italy could well call early elections and become a focus once again. We expect the ECB to remain accommodative, but to look through the fall in headline inflation where possible, while welcoming indications that activity is firming. The strengthening case of the hawks suggests that a tapering of quantitative easing could be announced as soon as September, if inflation stabilises.
