Housebuilders also rose after solid results from Bellway, whose shares finished 3.5% higher. CPIH Annual Rate… Markets were nervous on Wednesday ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates.

Chart 3: Bellway, Revenue 31/12/2018 The developer built 4,741 homes in the six months to 31 January, a 1% 6.3% increase compared with the same period last year. 9% Finance director Keith Adey said the group is on track to build a record 10,000-plus homes this year: “We have never been there before and 36% we feel it’s a nice hurdle to get over as we continue to grow as a business.” The average price of a Bellway home rose 7.7% to £275,945 - helping push up pre-tax profits by 16.6% to £288.7m. 54% Bellway has continued to acquire land and has contracted to buy 6,726 plots worth more than £400m, on which it expects to generate a Private Housing - North Private Housing - South gross margin of more than 24%. Net debt at the end of January was Affordable Housing Other £131m but is expected to turn into a modest net cash position at the Source: Brewin Dolphin client note Data at 23/3/2018 financial year end in July. The interim dividend was increased by 28% to 48p per share. Brewin Dolphin Research Economic Roundup US developments were prominent this week, as President Trump announced tariffs on Chinese imports, raising fears of a trade war, and the Federal Reserve increased interest rates to a new target range of 1.5%-1.75%. On Thursday, President Trump announced tariffs on up to $60bn of Chinese imports, declaring that Beijing needed to pay the price for decades of unfairly acquiring US intellectual property. China, having said it would "fight to the end" in any trade war with the US, hit back on Friday with plans for tariffs on 128 US products accounting for about $3bn in imports. Meanwhile, new Fed chair Jay Powell presided over his first rate-setting meeting which, as expected, resulted in a quarter-point increase in the Federal Funds rate. The Fed still expects to raise interest rates three times overall in 2018, but is now projecting an extra increase in 2019. Back in the UK, the Bank of England kept interest rates on hold at 0.5%. This followed a bigger than expected drop in inflation in February. Consumer prices were 2.7% higher compared to a year earlier, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), down from 3% in January. The decline called into question whether UK interest rates will rise as quickly as previously predicted, though many economists still expect rate rise in May. Guy Foster, Brewin Dolphin’s Head of Research, foresees three rate hikes over the next 12 months, taking the base rate to 1.25%. UK wages rose at their fastest pace in nearly two-and-a-half years: 2.6% excluding bonuses in the three months to January. Average earnings including bonuses rose 2.8% from the same period a year earlier. The unemployment rate reduced to 4.3% in January from 4.4% in December – its lowest level since 1975. The number of people in work rose to 32.25m – up 400,000 in a year and lifting the employment rate to 75.3%, its highest since records began in 1971. There was also positive news on retail sales, which increased more than expected during February. Sales grew by 0.8% over the month, with a year-on-year increase of 1.5%, said the ONS. ONS figures also showed public sector net borrowing down £2.5bn to £41.4bn in the current financial year-to-date, compared with the same period in 2016/17. UK government borrowing this financial year remains on track to be the lowest for a decade. Company announcements that caught our attention this week Date Company Comment 21/3/2018 Kingfisher Kingfisher, owner of DIY brand B&Q and trade specialist Screwfix, cautioned that the outlook for the UK market was “more uncertain”. In France, its second largest market, Kingfisher said trading was “encouraging yet volatile.” Europe’s second largest home improvement retailer made an underlying pre-tax profit of £797m in the year ended 31 January, 1.3% above the £787m in 2016-17. Growth at Screwfix and in Poland was offset by weak performances in France, Russia and Spain. In France, Kingfisher’s like-for-like sales were off 3.5% with profits down 15%, on a constant currency basis, as competition intensified both on price and on quality. Like-for-like sales for the whole group were down 0.7% year-on- year, at constant currencies, to £11.7m. The full-year dividend was increased 4% to 10.8p. 21/3/2018 Reckitt Benckiser Reckitt Benckiser announced on Wednesday that it had ended discussions to buy “parts of” Pfizer’s consumer health division. Back in October, Pfizer had announced it was reviewing strategic alternatives for its consumer health business. In February, it emerged that Reckitt Benckiser and GlaxoSmithKline had bid for the unit. Reckitt dropped out of the sales process late on Wednesday and said its proposal had only been for part of the Pfizer business. The likely price tag for Pfizer’s entire consumer health unit was $15-$20bn, and Reckitt would have had to resort to either a rights issue or to the sale of its home and hygiene division to complete a deal. Reckitt chief executive Rakesh Kapoor said: “An acquisition for the whole Pfizer consumer health business did not fit our acquisition criteria and an acquisition of part of the business was not possible.” On Friday, GlaxoSmithKline also withdrew from bidding for the Pfizer unit.

  • Rathbone Income Fund Update March 2020
    Rathbone Income Fund Update March 2020 So we come to the end of an extraordinary quarter. The Rathbone Income Fund fell back 26.2%, outperforming the IA Equity Income Sector, down 28.1%, but in line with the FTSE All-Share benchmark, midday to midday.* Unsurprisingly, the recent swathe of dividend deferrals and cancellations have also weighed on the sector … but more on this later. Our fund has succumbed to losses, which is never a nice experience, but there are three important silver linings: We are outperforming the sector, despite being hurt by our UK domestic exposure, which we had expected to come good after last year’s election; 3 months 6 months 1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years Rathbone -26.21% -23.02% -19.67% -18.45% -3.71% 77.90% Income Fund IA Equity -28.14% -23.00% -20.64% -17.56% -6.23% 54.82% Income Sector FTSE All -25.13%** -22.02% -18.45% -12.19% 2.89% 53.57% Share Index Source: FE Analytics, mid-price to mid-price; **this figure is from close of day to close of day, not midday to midday We are sitting on a decent cash pile (7.6% at period end), a war chest that we wish to put to good use; We have put through a 3% rise in our interim distribution. The biggest drags on our performance were Carnival (which has now been sold), Restaurant Group (which we have reduced), Bellway, Legal & General and Lloyds Banking Group. Carnival became an obvious high-profile casualty of the coronavirus pandemic, so we sold the shares ahead of its call to raise more debt and equity funding.
