MI Downing Monthly Income Fund Market commentary July 2017 In June, the MSCI UK All Cap Total Return Index fell 2.57% while the Fund fell 2.34%. Key contributors to the portfolio throughout the month were Sprue Aegis (up 16.47%), Polar Capital Holdings (up 9.87%) and Caretech Holdings (up 7.79%). Key detractors included Crest Nicholson (down 17.10%) and Conviviality (down 9.94%). Sprue Aegis, one of Europe’s leading developers and suppliers of home safety products, announced a positive start to the year in their June AGM statement. They expect a strong return to profitability in the first half of 2017 and with manufacturing and distribution arrangements progressing well, they believe they are well positioned to deliver a full-year adjusted operating profit in line with market expectations. Polar Capital released good group results for the period ended 31 March 2017 with assets under management increasing 27% from £7.3 billion to £9.3 billion. The results highlighted that co-founder of the business, Tim Woolley, will be standing down from his CEO role in July, although he will remain with the company as a non-executive member of the board. Gavin Rochussen will join the board as new CEO, bringing his experience as a CEO in asset management and track record in developing an institutional business and building a significant presence in North America. Caretech, a provider of specialist social care services in the UK, announced positive interim results in June for the six months ending 31 March 2017. Highlights included their acquisitions of Beacon Reach (a centre offering residential care and education to children) and Selborne Care (a centre providing support for adults with learning disabilities) after raising £37 million from a share placing in March. -
