Manager's Investment Report empty Investment Objective and Policy The investment objective of this Trust is to secure capital growth by investing in a concentrated portfolio of UK equities. The Trust aims to invest in small to mid-cap companies by market capitalisation and also larger companies which form part of the FTSE All-Share, Fledgling and AIM indices. Manager's Investment Report During the six months under review, the bid price of the Trust s R-Class accumulation units rose by 6.31%. This compares with a rise in the FTSE All-Share Index of 2.91% on a total return basis. (Source: Bloomberg) Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of investments and any income from them may go down as well as up. Market/Economic Review Global equity markets have made further gains in the last six months, reflecting a steady improvement in economic indicators and growing optimism among investors for earnings prospects over the second half of 2017. However, there has been a cooling of the so-called reflation trade that dominated markets in the latter half of 2016 when commodity-related sectors and financials performed relatively well. Instead, investors have favoured technology stocks in anticipation of an upturn in the semiconductor industry, while earnings announcements from the major technology companies, particularly in the US, have also been encouraging. In contrast, utilities and telecoms, both sectors more sensitive to bond markets, have underperformed. Returns from UK equities have been disappointing. Political uncertainty has weighed on confidence in the UK economic outlook, with the general election in June resulting in a hung parliament while Brexit negotiations have seen little progress. In the latest Autumn Budget, official forecasts for UK economic growth were downgraded both for this year and over the next two years. Japanese and smaller Asian markets were strongest in Sterling terms. In Japan, investors reacted favourably to a resounding victory for incumbent Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the general election, which was viewed as heralding further economic reforms. Asian equity markets were boosted by improving Chinese economic indicators as the authorities prioritised currency stabilisation and strengthening the domestic economy. In Europe, corporate results have highlighted improving earnings momentum, while indicators suggest regional economic activity is accelerating with economic confidence in the Euro area recording its highest level for more than a decade. In the US, an improving economic background and the passing of the Republican tax plan have underpinned share prices. More broadly, emerging markets have outperformed the World Index as concerns over the risk of a protectionist approach to US trade policy have abated in recent months. Trust Review Equity markets continued to gain ground over the final six months of the year despite a minor decline in November as the US tax reform push faced brief uncertainty. During this period the Trust s performance delivered a positive return. Stock selection helped drive returns for most of the period with industrial and technology holdings standing out in particular. However, these later detracted from performance as the market pulled back towards the end of the year. An underweight allocation to energy stocks also weighed on returns in the latter half of the period as commodity prices gained. From a stock perspective, Smart Metering Systems made a large contribution early in 2

Manager's Investment Report continued the period and again in October. As the UK electricity and gas market enters a period of change, SMS looks well placed to benefit from its strong position in domestic meters. The roll-out of meters for utility customers is expected to grow significantly over the next few years. Despite rallying in July, printing technology company Xaar fell at the end of the period after delivering a revenue warning, driven by product launch issues and struggles to gain client traction. A combination of reduced customer demand and competitive pressures have led to some concern that this will weigh on Xaar s pricing and volumes in its largest end market ceramic tiles. Despite this, we continue to be of the view that longer term, Xaar has considerable opportunity to benefit from the conversion of analogue to digital industrial printing. We initiated a new position in application software company PROACTIS, following the announced acquisition of Perfect Commerce, a global provider of cloud-based spend management solutions. We view this as a transformational deal in the context of driving an acceleration of geographic footprint and commercial scale of the existing business, with opportunities to cross-sell and upsell product. Outlook While there is limited visibility of the path to Brexit and clear risks to the UK economy, UK equities should not be ignored. As general appetite for UK equities has languished over the past 18 months, we are more positive about the road ahead. Sterling has rallied in recent months as the risk of a Brexit no deal has diminished, and while sector valuation dispersion clearly exists, it does not prohibit us from finding interesting opportunities. Overall, we believe global growth continues to be robust and broad-based. This is driven by a period of synchronised growth and an increase in industrial activity and corporate investment: three features that bode well for further improvement in earnings and corporate profitability.

The OCF is intended to provide a reliable figure which gives the most accurate measure of what it costs to invest in a trust and is calculated based on the last period's figures. 12

Trust Information continued Distribution Information R-Class A shortfall for the R-Class units arose because expenses exceeded the revenue of the R-Class. This being the case, there is no interim distribution payable for the R-Class. F-Class A shortfall for the F-Class units arose because expenses exceeded the revenue of the F-Class. This being the case, there is no interim distribution payable for the F-Class. I-Class The distribution payable on 18 February 2018 is 0.1338p per unit for accumulation units. 13

Risk and Reward Profile Lower risk Higher risk Potentially lower rewards Potentially higher rewards 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 This risk and reward profile is based on historical data which may not be a reliable indication of the Trust's risk and reward category in the future. The category is based on the rate at which the value of the Trust has moved up and down in the past. This Trust is in category five because it invests in company shares which generally provide higher rewards and higher risks than investments such as bonds, cash or commercial property. The Trust's category is not guaranteed to remain the same and may change over time. Even a trust in the lowest category is not a risk free investment. 14

Dual Pricing Arrangement The Manager s fixed dual pricing arrangement has a set spread to account for the costs of transacting in a particular Trust. Where the Manager operates a box through which unit subscriptions and unit redemptions are netted into a single trade instruction to the Trustee, the netting reduces the actual transaction costs and this generates a revenue to the Manager. The revenue generated from this activity is calculated on a monthly basis and returned to the Trust in the form of a payment from the Manager. This provides an enhanced return to the Trust, though the size of any return will be dependent on the size of subscriptions and redemptions. Significant Changes Reduction of FMF With effect from 2 January 2018, the Fund Management Fees (FMF) have been reduced for the R-Class from 1.77% to 1.53%, for the F-Class from 1.27% to 1.03% and for the I-Class from 0.88% to 0.78%. 16
