The uncertainty around Brexit means that investment spending is likely to soften in 2019. From a central bank perspective, the market’s expectation for interest rate hikes in 2019 has reversed. Similarly, US rate rises have stalled. The Fund’s strategy is to gain exposure to factors that are RIPE (robust, intuitive, persistent & empirical). These include value, quality and momentum. We also aim to enhance these well-established risk premia by using better factor definitions. For example, value is enhanced by using forward-looking metrics (e.g. forward dividend yield). We enhance quality by including companies’ capital expenditures and efficiency of capital utilisation. Meanwhile, momentum is enhanced by including industry momentum, as well as stock momentum. We do not try to time factors or dynamically switch between them. Instead, we aim to maintain a diversified exposure across multiple uncorrelated factors. The volatility of the Fund is similar to the index and beta is close to 1. The projected tracking error of the Fund is close to the midpoint of the mandated range (0.5-1.5%). 4 Portfolio of investments (unaudited) Investments held at 15 May 2019 Market Percentage of value total net assets Holding Investment £000 % UK Equities (15/05/18 – 87.77%) 90.74 Aerospace & Defence 1.40 1,668,256 BAE Systems 7,756 0.27 10,278,242 Cobham 11,748 0.41 2,090,119 Meggitt 11,073 0.38 1,241,537 QinetiQ 3,727 0.13 224,215 Rolls-Royce 2,053 0.07 15,919,265 Rolls-Royce Holdings preference Shares* – 0.00 1,844,515 Senior 4,161 0.14 Alternative Energy 0.08 204,763 Porvair 1,089 0.04 656,318 Volution Group 1,096 0.04 Banks 8.69 196,278 Bank of Georgia Group 3,209 0.11 10,660,434 Barclays 17,055 0.59 24,526,263 HSBC Holdings 162,585 5.64 105,309,244 Lloyds Banking Group 64,207 2.23 380,614 Royal Bank of Scotland 876 0.03 370,205 Standard Chartered 2,509 0.09 Beverages 4.13 3,586,123 Diageo 118,898 4.13 Chemicals 0.53 72,696 Johnson Matthey 2,275 0.08 137,724 Synthomer 548 0.02 539,875 Victrex 11,143 0.39 189,716 Zotefoams 1,142 0.04 Construction & Materials 0.69 184,396 Balfour Beatty 455 0.02 686,096 Costain Group 2,261 0.08 1,047,183 Forterra 2,984 0.10 232,013 Keller 1,640 0.06 234,899 Kier Group 802 0.03 12,289 Marshalls Group 81 0.00 159,163 MJ Gleeson 1,340 0.05 1,689,196 Redrow 9,713 0.34 117,747 Tyman 289 0.01 Electricity 0.17 1,524,229 Drax Group 4,996 0.17 Electronic & Electrical Equipment 0.82 1,167,218 Halma 20,771 0.72 80,466 Oxford Instruments

  • Does Your Investment Trust Have Skin in the Game?
    Does your investment trust have skin in the game? By Emma Agyemang 03 May 2018 Investors Chronicle Copyright 2018 The Financial Times Ltd. All rights reserved Investment trusts are companies listed on the stock market so have a board of directors. These fulfil a number of functions relating to the running of the trust, including appointing and dismissing the trust's investment manager, and setting its level of fees. Boards are also responsible for deciding whether to buy back or issue shares to control discounts or premiums to net asset value (NAV), and they decide how much debt (gearing) a trust can have. Because of boards' key role in running investment trusts, some argue that they and the investment managers should have their own money invested in them. "To align interests, investors look for directors and managers to have a meaningful personal investment in the companies they direct and/or manage," says Ben Newell, analyst at broker Canaccord Genuity. "We have never met one investor who has argued against this, and strongly believe that 'skin in the game' sends a clear and powerful message to both existing and potential investors." “Knowing that an investment trust's managers and board directors are in the same boat as them when markets are difficult can be reassuring to shareholders”, adds Jason Hollands, managing director at wealth manager Tilney Group. So Canaccord Genuity regularly produces a report outlining how much managers and board directors have of their own money in the investment trusts they run, and the latest edition covers 283 investment trusts. It found that 58 chairmen or directors of these have a personal investment in the trust they are involved with worth more than £1m, and 67 managers or management teams have in excess of £1m in the trust they run.

    Hampton-Alexander Review FTSE Women Leaders Improving gender balance in FTSE Leadership November 2019 Sponsored by For over a decade McKinsey research has supported the economic, business and societal case for gender parity. In 2019, our dataset continues to show a significant link between diversity and financial performance, with companies in the top quartile for executive team diversity 15-24% more likely to outperform their national industry median EBIT margin than their bottom quartile peers. Whilst progress on representation is perceptible, the pace of change remains disappointing.
