Fund Managers Dave Jubb, David Millar & Richard Batty Henley-on-Thames, managed fund since ember 2013 Summary of fund objective The fund aims to achieve a positive total return in all market conditions over a rolling 3 year period. The fund targets a gross return of 5% p.a. above 3 month Euribor (or an equivalent reference rate) and aims to achieve this with less than half the volatility of global equities, over the same rolling 3 year period. Please note there is no guarantee this gross performance target or volatility target will be achieved. For the full objectives and investment policy please consult the current prospectus. Key facts 1 Fund launch date 18 ember 2013 Legal Status Luxembourg SICAV with UCITS status Fund size EUR 6,854.05m Current NAV A Accumulation EUR C Accumulation EUR Market commentary Global equity markets ended the year near all-time highs as solid corporate earnings were backed up by what appeared to be a broad-based and robust acceleration in economic growth. In addition, optimism around President Trump s promised tax cuts continued to be absorbed by US equity markets as Congress approved the reform bill. The performance of equity markets in the UK and Europe was driven by commodityrelated sectors as commodities such as oil and copper enjoyed a strong month. Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve hiked interest rates in a widely expected move and raised its economic outlook for In the UK, rates were left on hold despite higher inflation. Elsewhere, there was a bigger than expected interest rate cut in Russia where policy makers cited an OPEC deal to maintain oil production cuts as helping to keep inflation in check. Diminishing inflation expectations in Brazil led the central bank to cut rates while the opposite was true in Mexico where a new central bank governor marked the beginning of his tenure with a rate rise as inflationary pressures mounted. The month provided mixed returns for bond markets. In sterling and US dollar denominated bonds, the best performing areas were investment grade bonds and in the eurodenominated markets, high yield bonds performed better. Fund strategy During the month, no new ideas were added and no ideas were removed. However, a number of changes were made to existing ideas. This included the removal of the Hungarian exposure in the emerging market selective debt idea. This followed Hungarian yields hitting record lows after the central bank announced measures to depress long-term yields and encourage mortgage lending. The team felt returns were limited from here. In addition, the team removed the US leg of our swap spreads idea. Here, the spread between 30-year Treasuries and their swap equivalents had narrowed aggressively since the idea was initiated and as it neared our target, the team felt the new tax regime made the market less predictable. The UK leg remains. Finally, the option implementation of our Japanese equity idea was altered to provide greater upside exposure while limiting the downside for small market declines.

2 31 ember 2017 Fund performance Performance was negative during the month. The main detractors were currency ideas including our Long EM Carry idea, which was hurt by falls in both the Mexican peso and the Brazilian real. At the same time, Brazilian equities had a strong month, which also detracted from the idea. More positive Canadian domestic data and an improving oil price increased the possibility of another Canadian interest rate hike in January, which weighed on our US dollar vs Canadian dollar idea. This was partially mitigated by our currency idea preferring the Russian ruble to the US dollar, which also benefited from the oil price rise. However, the rise in commodity prices also counted against our Commodity Short idea. Other positives included our global equities idea and our Swedish interest rates idea, where the difference between short-term and longer-term government debt narrowed and the euro weakened against the Swedish krona. The fund s annualised volatility at the end of ember was 3.39% (over the previous three years), which compared to 11.27% for global equities, as measured by the MSCI World index.
