Quarterly Fund Manager Review Performance of the UK Special Situations Fund was flat during the month, returning 0.0%, its benchmark, the IA UK All Companies Sector fell -0.2%. FTSE 250 listed asset manager Liontrust, saw its shares reach an all time high after it reported that profit before tax more than doubled year on year. The company has seen strong inflows, helped by the tailwind behind ESG strategies, a trend that looks well set to continue over the coming years. Oxford instruments reported very strong results, helped by the company’s agility enabling them to react to Covid-related disruption and their market leading position within a broad range of diverse end markets. Positioning away from Financials, HSBC and Prudential was beneficial to performance, as was our holding in luxury watch retailer, Watches of Switzerland. At a sector level, our underweight positioning in miners was beneficial, however our holding in Central Asia metals was the largest single detractor to performance. Shares in bootmaker Dr Martens, which listed earlier this year fell in response to the firm’s maiden results as a listed company. Despite robust sales performance during the period, the shares were weak which we would attribute to the market’s disappointment at the lack of upgrades to forward guidance. During the month we purchased a new holding in Electrocomponents and added to Auction Technology Group and Intermediate capital. These purchases were funded through reducing Dr Martens, Savills and Barclays.
