INVESTMENT TEAM

Over a typical investment cycle, the Company seeks to achieve a total return of at least CPI plus 6% per annum after costs with low volatility and aims to increase the dividends paid to Shareholders at least in line with inflation, through the application of a Multi-Asset Investment Policy.

The manager takes active allocation decisions within defined ranges. These tactical moves are made through a combination of direct investment and commitments to third party funds, both open and closed ended.

MONTHLY COMMENTARY

  • The rally in risk assets in October broadened out in November, with strong returns across nearly all major asset classes and markets. The key developments triggering the rally were an unexpectedly large fall in the inflation rate in the US in October and a dovish tilt by the Fed. The expected 75bps rise in the Fed Funds policy rate came with the note that although policy is likely to remain tighter for longer 'the time is approaching for a slower pace of tightening'.
  • At the beginning of the month, Morgan Advanced Materials, a manufacturer of specialised carbon and ceramic materials, announced a strong trading update. Management forecast full year organic revenue growth in the high single digits, with operating profits to be above the top end of sell side analyst estimates. The shares returned 23% for the month.
  • Accrol, a toilet and kitchen tissue manufacturer, released a very positive trading update. Revenues were up markedly as the business continues to pass through cost inflation, while their products continue to gain market share. Volumes were up 14% versus the wider UK market which was flat over the same period. The shares finished up 15% over the month. We believe that the strength in the UK equity portfolio's underlying fundamentals will continue to be recognised over the coming months.
  • Elsewhere, clothing and food retailer Marks & Spencer reported its half year results. Revenues grew across both divisions, but margins fell, particularly in Food as the business absorbed cost inflation to improve price competitiveness. Despite the mixed results, the shares returned 14% over the month, highlighting that little news is required to see sentiment turn.
  • We exited our position in Home REIT over the month due to tenant concerns. Positions were fully exited by 18th November recouping 99% of the initial investment. Following the exit, a short seller report highlighted the same concerns and the shares fell 34% by the end of November.
