And just as climate change requires the collective actions of individuals, businesses and governments worldwide, so too has the outbreak of COVID-19 and the knock-on impact this has had on peoples’ lives everywhere. While there is no doubt that the impact of the pandemic on civil aerospace has been unprecedented, the breadth of the Group’s end-market exposure across civil aerospace, defence and energy, coupled with the work we have done in recent years to streamline and strengthen the Group, has been key in helping us navigate our way successfully through the crisis. Having been asked by the Board to stay on as Chairman to provide stability and continuity throughout this difficult period, I have ensured that the Board’s number one I am extremely priority has been, and continues to be, to keep our employees and sites safe, while continuing to meet the needs of customers through the adoption of a number of new grateful to our working practices across the Group.

Commun., 2016, 52, 7906 Flavia Pop†* and Narcis Avarvari* Covalent donor–acceptor (D–A) systems have significantly contributed to the development of many organic materials and to molecular electronics. Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) represents one of the most widely studied donor precursors and has been incorporated into the structure of many D–A derivatives with the objective of obtaining redox control and modulation of the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), in order to address switchable emissive systems and to take advantage of its propensity to form regular stacks in the solid state. In this review, we focus on the main families of non-fused TTF–acceptors, which are classified according to the nature of the acceptor: nitrogen-containing heterocycles, BODIPY, Received 29th February 2016, perylenes and electron poor unsaturated hydrocarbons, as well as radical acceptors. We describe herein the Accepted 25th April 2016 most representative members of each family with a brief mention of their synthesis and a special focus on Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence.

    JOHCM UK DYNAMIC FUND UNDER THE BONNET 2019 ANNUAL REVIEW Alex Savvides, Senior Fund Manager Tom Matthews, Analyst INVESTMENT BACKGROUND Global equity markets continued to move higher in December as economic indicators showed a pick-up in global growth, there was further progress in US-China trade discussions and the UK’s Conservative party won an overall majority in the general election. The JP Morgan Global Composite PMI ticked up from the previous month’s 44-month low following a steepening in China’s composite PMI growth rate and a strengthening in US business activity. US equities had a remarkable year, capped by President Trump announcing he would sign a phase one trade deal with China in January and move to negotiations on phase two. The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ 100 total return indices all reached new all-time highs in December, with gains of 32%, 25% and 40% respectively for the year. We wrote the following in August’s ‘Under the Bonnet’: “When we come to reflect on 2019, July will likely be seen as a decisive… a month in which geopolitical brinkmanship came to a head, leading government and central bank policies to be reappraised which ultimately may lead to a new market narrative.” The progress in the US-China trade deal marked a clear de-escalation in this brinkmanship globally, but starker still were the final quarter’s developments in the UK: a new withdrawal agreement negotiated with the EU and - in December alone - the Conservative Party winning an historic majority in the general election and the withdrawal agreement subsequently being passed by parliament more than 13 months after Theresa May’s cabinet first backed her deal.

  • Quarterly Commentary—Artisan Non-U.S. Small
    QUARTERLY Artisan Non-U.S. Small-Mid Growth Strategy FactCommentary Sheet As of 30 June 2020 Investment Process We seek long-term investments in high-quality businesses exposed to structural growth themes that can be acquired at sensible valuations in a contrarian fashion and are led by excellent management teams. Investing with Tailwinds We identify structural themes at the intersection of growth and change with the objective of investing in companies having meaningful exposure to these trends. Themes can be identified from both bottom-up and top-down perspectives. High-Quality Businesses We seek future leaders with attractive growth characteristics that we can own for the long term. Our fundamental analysis focuses on those companies exhibiting unique and defensible business models, high barriers to entry, proven management teams, favorable positions within their industry value chains and high or improving returns on capital. In short, we look to invest in small companies that have potential to become large. A Contrarian Approach to Valuation We seek to invest in high-quality businesses in a contrarian fashion. Mismatches between stock price and long-term business value are created by market dislocations, temporary slowdowns in individual businesses or misperceptions in the investment community. We also examine business transformation brought about by management change or restructuring. Manage Unique Risks of International Small- and Mid-Cap Equities International small- and mid-cap equities are exposed to unique investment risks that require managing. We define risk as permanent loss of capital, not share price volatility. We manage this risk by having a long-term ownership focus, understanding the direct and indirect security risks for each business, constructing the portfolio on a well-diversified basis and sizing positions according to individual risk characteristics.
