AUTHORISED STATUS AND GENERAL INFORMATION Authorised Status is an investment company with variable capital (ICVC) incorporated under the Open Ended Investment Company (OEIC) Regulations 2001. It is a non-ucits retail scheme as defined in the Collective Investment Schemes Sourcebook (COLL) and is an umbrella company for the purposes of the OEIC Regulations. The Company is incorporated in England and Wales with the registration number IC000553 and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with effect from 30 July 2007. The shareholders are not liable for the debts of the Company. A sub-fund is a legal entity; if the assets attributable to any sub-fund were insufficient to meet the liabilities attributable to it, the shortfall will not be met out of the assets attributable to one or more other sub-funds of the ICVC. The Company currently has one sub-fund, the MFM SGWM Managed Fund. Investment Objectives MFM SGWM Managed Fund The investment objective of the Fund is to provide medium to long term capital growth on a medium risk basis. It is intended that this objective will be achieved by the Fund investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of units/shares of collective investment schemes, (including, but not restricted to, Exchange Traded Funds, unregulated funds such as hedge funds, collective investment schemes which themselves invest in property and/or the shares of property companies, and index-linked collective investment schemes), and transferable securities (including, but not restricted to, shares in investment companies including investment trusts which themselves invest in equities, property and/or the shares of property investment companies and equity linked transferable securities and fixed interest securities) on a global basis. The Fund is also permitted to invest in money market instruments, government and public securities, cash and near cash, warrants and deposits as permitted for non- UCITS retail schemes in accordance with COLL. It is intended that the assets of the Fund will be managed so that it is eligible for quotation within the Investment Management Association's Flexible Investment sector.

MFM SGWM MANAGED FUND AUTHORISED INVESTMENT ADVISER S REPORT For the six month period ended 30 November 2014 Percentage change and sector position to 30 November 2014 Six months 1 year 3 years 5 years Since Launch** MFM SGWM Managed Fund 3.59% 7.08% 31.59% 45.73% 24.69% Quartile Ranking* 3 2 3 3 4 * Based on ranking within IMA Flexible Investment Sector **3 September 2007 External Source of Economic Data: Morningstar (mid to mid, net income reinvested) At the beginning of the year a client of mine who is a member of a local investment club asked me for my prediction of where FTSE 100 would be at the end of 2014 an utterly pointless game of course, but I took a stab at 7200. At the time of writing it is approximately 6300 so I was only out by a mere 900 points! Since my last report in May we have continued to experience volatility in markets and this should come as no surprise since we live in an age of instant communication and instant reaction, so much so that it s barely worthy of comment, except of course that it does affect ordinary investor sentiment as well as the global players: no-one wants to hear that the markets have tanked. As always, there are bright spots among the apparent doom and gloom and many emerging markets in particular have seen strong performance with India, Thailand Indonesia and Egypt all posting returns in excess of 20% in the year to date. We have exposure to EM through First State and Lazard and our fund has benefited accordingly. And it s not just emerging markets, The US and Japan have both produced returns well in excess of our home market with S&P 500 +7.5% over the period and the Japanese Topix 17% (Source: FT. All figures approximate). During the period we have sold the holdings in Artemis Income, Axa Framlington UK Select Opportunities, First State Global Emerging Markets Leaders and Schroder UK Opportunities. We have bought into Lazard Emerging Markets and Rathbone Income. The Fund has recently been awarded an A rating by Citywire for consistent performance at relatively low risk.
