1 MANAGED FUNDS SERVICE Cautious Portfolio December 214 The value of investments can fall and you may get back less than you invested. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Any specific investments mentioned are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended as investment advice. December Mth 3 Mths YTD 6 Mths 1 Yr 2 Yr 3 Yr Yr SI (p.a)* Cautious Portfolio WMA Conservative Blend ** Relative Performance and holdings may differ depending on your platform Source: Brewin Dolphin, Russell Mellon CAPS IMS32, Novia (income reinvested & gross of fees) *Inception Date of 19/6/29, quoted on an annualised basis **Benchmark change from composite to FTSE/APCIMS (now WMA) Conservative as at Cautious Portfolio The portfolio s objective is to provide outperformance of the Wealth Management Association (WMA) Conservative Index over the medium term. Returns will be generated through both capital growth and income, with a bias towards developed and liquid capital markets. The risk will be diversified by holding collective investments. The management of the portfolio aims to meet the objective conservatively by taking managed risk through fund selection and asset allocation. Recent Activity The Cautious portfolio underperformed its benchmark by.4% over the month translating into negative.3% relative performance over 1 year; however the strategy maintains its strong long term track record outperforming by 8.6% over 3 years. UK equity fund selection performed well over the quarter as underlying active underweights to big oil served as a relative tailwind. By extension, the declining oil price, essentially a tax cut for the consumer, ties in especially well to the consumer goods and services exposure of the underlying strategies we have, especially the case for Trojan Income. More broadly, fund selection added value in all major sectors over the quarter with only property and bonds detracting. Although the attribution analysis shows our gilt position hurt in terms of asset allocation and selection, we do gain most of our UK gilt exposure through the F&C Equity Linked Gilt, classified as UK Equities in our analysis. The gilt exposure in this instrument provides the portfolio to bonds with a maturity of over 1 years, an area of the gilt market that saw substantial outperformance over the quarter returning 11% versus 6.3% for the All Stock Gilt Index. Clearly the portfolio s duration exposure acted as a significant tailwind to performance over the quarter, albeit an underweight position.

Returns will be generated through both capital growth and income with a bias towards developed and liquid capital markets. The risk will be diversified by holding collective investments. The management of the portfolio aims to meet the objective conservatively by taking managed risk through fund selection and asset allocation. Recent Activity The Balanced portfolio outperformed its benchmark over the month by.8%. UK equity fund selection performed well over the quarter as underlying active underweights to big oil served as a relative tailwind. By extension, the declining oil price, essentially a tax cut for the consumer, ties in especially well to the consumer goods and services exposure in the underlying strategies. This dispersion in sector returns over the year arguably made for a fertile hunting ground for the UK equity active manager, reflected in strong relative performance over the quarter and month. More broadly, fund selection added value in all major sectors over the quarter and the month with only property and bonds detracting as the inflationary debate continued, a debate that moved towards deflation meaning bonds were strong performers.

Recent Activity The Growth portfolio outperformed its benchmark over the month by 1.2%. This helped the portfolio achieve 1.4% of alpha over the 3 year period. The portfolio s overweight to US equities helped again on an asset allocation basis and within our equity strategies an underweight to oil & gas also helped.
