Quarterly Investment Monitoring Report to 31 March 2012
Executive Summary Scheme Asset Valuation The SunGard Section's assets increased in value over the quarter to 75,233,620. This is an increase of 5,188,852 (7.4%) over the quarter. The Sherwood Section's assets increased in value over the quarter to 23,777,048. This is an increase of 1,456,987 (6.5%) over the quarter. Member holdings and allocation We were unable to obtain member holdings in each individual fund at the time of this report. Therefore we have not included the split for Quarter 1 2012. Default Fund performance All Funds in the default strategy are invested in passively managed index funds with Legal & General. All three Legal & General funds have performed in line with their benchmarks However, over 1 year both the Consensus Index Fund and the Over 15 Year Gilts Index Fund have slightly underperformed, taking into account the fees charged. Over 3 years all three Legal & General funds have performed in line with their benchmarks, net of fees. Self Select Fund performance Over the quarter all funds produced a positive absolute return, apart from the Legal & General AAA Fixed Interest Over 15 Year Fund. The strongest funds in terms of absolute returns were those with the highest equity allocation, as equities continued to rally from the previous quarter. The Neptune Global Equity Fund produced a positive relative return this quarter after 4 quarters of negative relative returns. However the 1 year absolute and relative returns as well as the 3 year relative return are negative. The Russell Emerging Markets Equity Fund produced a negative relative return over the quarter, however over the longer term relative performance is still positive. This fund is expected to be quite volatile relative to its benchmark, so we would recommend that the Trustees monitor performance closely going forward. Most of the other funds produced strong relative returns, which is very much a trait of many active managers performing well in rising markets. Conclusions and Recommendations This was a good quarter, with most funds producing a positive absolute return. Only two funds produced negative relative returns over the quarter. The key area of concern is the ongoing relative return of the Neptune Global Equity Fund, although this was positive in this quarter. The performance of the Russell Emerging Market Equity Fund should also be closely monitored. Page 2 of 51

1. Market Review MARKET EVENTS UK market events Quantitative easing: The Bank of England as expected expanded its quantitative easing programme by 50 billion to 325 billion in February 2012. The continuing aim of this is to provide banks with more liquidity which should feed through to lending to businesses. Budget 2012: The Budget was broadly in-line with expectations of it maintaining the government's ongoing austerity programme. The impact on investment markets is expected to be fairly limited, as it is the global macroeconomic problems that are the key driver of market sentiment. However, the ongoing austerity measures are likely to keep yields on UK gilts low while global markets remain volatile. Government Debt: The Debt Management Office projects a Cash Borrowing Requirement of over 100 billion for the next two years, as the government continues to try to reduce the deficit. It expects to issue over 150 billion in government bonds for each of these years. The UK public sector debt was 995 billion at February 2012, or 63.1% of Gross Domestic Product. This is an increase of 18 billion over the quarter, bringing the fiscal year total to date to 106 billion. Interest rates: UK interest rates have been kept at 0.5% over the quarter, and for the last 3 years. Unemployment: Unemployment fell to 2.65 million (8.3%) at the end of February 2012, which is the first fall since almost a year ago. The rate of youth employment remains high at 22.2%, with over 1 million 16-24 year olds unemployed. Inflation: Consumer Price Index ("CPI") annual inflation fell to 3.5% in March 2012 from 4.2% in December, still considerably above the Bank of England target of 2%. Retail Price Inflation ("RPI") fell to 3.6% from 4.8% over the quarter. Economic growth: UK GDP contracted by 0.2% in Q1 2012, after the previous quarter estimate being revised downwards from 0.2% to 0.3%. This means the UK is technically in recession again after two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. Manufacturing sector: The Purchasing Managers' Index rose to a 10 month high of 52.1 in March 2012 (above 50 indication expansion). Services sector: Output from the services sector increased by 0.1% in Q1 2012. Europe market events Sovereign Debt Crisis: At the beginning of the quarter, Standard & Poors rating agency downgraded the credit rating of France and the EU bailout fund. The UK and Czech Republic refused to sign the Europe wide fiscal pact, creating a rift between the UK and Europe. After much negotiation the EU leaders approved a bailout package for Greece, with private bond holders taking over a 5 'haircut'. Concerns over Italy and Spain caused their bond yields to hit high points during the quarter. Government Debt: The Euro area and EU27 government deficit for 2011 is estimated at 4.1% and 4.5% of Gross Domestic Product respectively. The government debt figure at the year end was 87.2% and 82.5% respectively. Interest rates: The key interest rate has been kept at its historic low level of 1. since December 2011. Unemployment: In March 2012 unemployment in the Eurozone hit a historic high of 10.9%, amounting to 11 million people unemployed. For the whole EU, unemployment was 10.2%. The highest unemployment rate was in Spain at 24.4%. Inflation: Inflation across the Eurozone was 2.7% for the year to March 2012. Economic growth: The Eurozone economy contracted by 0.3% in the fourth quarter of 2011. Manufacturing sector: The manufacturing sector fell sharply in March, indicating the ninth month of contraction. US market events Government Debt: US government debt remained above US$15 trillion at the end of March 2012. Interest rates: The US Federal Reserve has maintained interest rates at a historically low level of 0.25% since December 2008. Unemployment: US unemployment continued to fall to 8.2% in March 2011. Inflation: US inflation was 2.7% in March 2012, which is restricting the Federal Reserves ability to do more to stimulate the economy and reduce unemployment. Page 4 of 51
Economic growth: US economic growth slowed to 2.2% on an annualised basis in the first quarter, from 3. the previous quarter. Japan and 'BRICS' countries market events Japan: Japan maintained its near zero interest rate after reducing it from 0.1% in October. The inflation rate was 0.5% in March 2012. The economy contracted by 0.2% in the fourth quarter of 2011. Brazil: Brazil maintained its key interest rate at an almost historic low of 9.. Unemployment at the end of March 2012 was 6.2%. Inflation remained at 5.2% for the year. Gross Domestic Product rose 0.3% in the fourth quarter of 2011, after a slight fall the previous quarter. Russia: Gross Domestic Product rose 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2011. Inflation was 3.7% in March 2012, while unemployment was 6.5%. The benchmark interest rate was 8.. India: The inflation rate in March was 9.5%. The benchmark interest rate was 8.. Unemployment was 9.4%. China: Inflation in China for the year to March 2012 was 3.6%. The benchmark interest rate was 6.6%. Unemployment in the fourth quarter of 2011 was 4.1%. South Africa: The inflation rate for the year to March 2012 was 6%. The key interest rate was 5.5%. Unemployment at the end of 2011 was 23.9%. Gross Domestic Product rose by 3.2% in the fourth quarter of 2011. ASSET CLASS PERFORMANCE The New Year began with a positive but cautious sentiment with investors willing to take more risk. As a result equity markets rose strongly over January and February while bond values fell progressively - a reversal of 'flight to safety'. Towards the end of March equity markets fell considerably as Asia (particularly China) and Europe reported disappointing economic data. While China appears to be coming in for a controlled landing, Europe (excl. Germany) appears to be set for widespread recession in 2012. Investors have also taken stock of strong returns from the first two months. UK Equities: UK equities produced another strong positive return over the quarter, returning 6.1%, although lagged other equity markets. Overseas Equities: Overseas equities produced a very strong return over the quarter, driven by a recovering US economy and reduced fears over the extent of a slowdown in emerging markets. Government Bonds: UK gilts produced negative returns over the quarter with over 15 year gilt yields rising from 2.94% to 3.26%. This remains historically low, but is likely to significantly improve the valuation of defined benefit pension scheme liabilities and funding levels from the start of the quarter. Corporate Bonds: Although long dated gilt values fell over the quarter, long dated corporate bonds continued to produce a positive return. The yield on the iboxx Corporate AA over 15 years index fell slightly from 4.68% to 4.63% over the quarter. Property: UK commercial property again posted a modest positive return over the quarter. Concerns remain over the effect of austerity measures on the broad economy, and the impact on occupier demand, rents and default rates. Commodities: Commodities produced a negative return of -2.2% over the quarter, bringing their 5 year return to just 0.3% p.a. Currencies: Sterling depreciated against the US dollar (-0.5%) and the Yen (-1.5%), but strengthened significantly against the Euro (+6.) over the quarter. Currencies remain volatile relative to each other as investment market volatility and economic uncertainties persist. Page 5 of 51
Key Observations All major equities regions performed strongly over the first quarter. Notably UK equities underperformed all other major regions, as austerity measures continue to dampen sentiment about the economy. Following two quarters of significant returns, gilts fell back over the quarter. However, corporate bonds continue to produce relatively strong returns. For the year, gilts and corporate bonds were the strongest performing asset classes by far. Europe ex UK and emerging/developing markets have posted a significant loss over this period. Over 3 years, most asset classes produced strong returns, despite some poor returns over the last year. However, over 5 years long dated gilts were the strongest performing asset class (besides emerging market equities). UK and Europe ex UK were in particular very weak over such a long time scale.

Key Observations Sterling returns versus local market currency returns Equity returns compared to inflation indices Sterling has continued to appreciate against the Euro, but weakened modestly against the US Dollar over the last year. The strong Yen has meant the continuing depreciation of Sterling against the Yen. Average Weekly Earnings increases for the year have fallen to almost zero at the end of February 2012. This continues to be far below inflation, meaning an overall reduction in real earnings. Long dated gilt yields (a key driver in defined benefit pension scheme liability valuations) have bounced back from their sub-3% level at the end of 2011. However, they have fluctuated around the current low level over the entire quarter.

5. Self Select Fund Performance Key Risks/Concerns Identified Comments The key area of concern was the ongoing negative relative return of the Neptune Global Equity Fund. This quarter Neptune have produced a return of 9., outperforming its performance measurement benchmark by 0.3%. Over the quarter all funds, except for the L&G AAA Fixed Interest Fund, produced a positive absolute return. The strongest funds in terms of absolute returns were those with the highest equity allocation, as equities continued to rally from the previous quarter. The Neptune Global Equity Fund produced a slight positive relative return over the quarter. However the 1 year return is significantly poor and the 3 year return is also negative showing considerable underperformance over the longer term. The F&C MPF Stewardship Fund produced a positive relative return over the quarter, resulting in a positive 1 and 3 year relative return. Most of the funds produced strong relative returns, which is a trait of active management performing well in rising markets. The Russell Emerging Markets Fund was the exception, which underperformed. The Self Select funds performance over the quarter, 1 year and 3 years was as follows: Absolute return Quarter 1 Year 3 Year B'mark return Relative return Absolute return B'mark return Relative return Absolute return B'mark return Relative return % % % % % % % p.a. % p.a. % p.a.
