  • 11/16 Hindesight UK Dividend Letter
    NOV 16 Mark Mahaffey Ben Davies Aalok Sathe “Wir können das schaffen” (“We can do it”) ― Angela Merkel OVERVIEW In late-September for the last 20 odd years, I have made the three-day trip to the famous Munich beer festival, ‘Oktoberfest’. Ex-colleagues and friends have made the trip over the years, with differing rotation, and many people still tell me it is on their bucket list. The Oktoberfest is the world’s largest festival, with 6 million visitors attending the 16-18 day event, which runs from late-September to early October. Originating from the royal wedding celebrations in 1810 between Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, the festival has been an annual event almost ever since. In over 200 years, the festival has only been cancelled 24 times, usually as a result of war. Obviously, beer is an attraction for the largely German attendance (some 75% usually) but the pantomime party atmosphere of historic Bavaria is like a journey back in time. Only beer that has been brewed from the six breweries in the city limits can be sold as Oktoberfest beers – Augustiner-Brau, Hacker-Pschorr-Brau, Lowenbrau, Paulaner, Spatenbrau and Staatliches Hofbrau-Munchen. The belief is that Oktoberfest beer is brewed only for the festival, so it is fresh and without multiple preservatives, thus reducing its hangover potential!!! While our capacity for beer is far less in our 50s, than it was in our 20s and 30s, an enjoyable time was still had by all. HINDESIGHT DIVIDEND UK LETTER / NOV 16 1 Last year’s trip to Munich in September 2015 coincided with Germany opening their arms to refugees, the majority of them arriving at Munich’s main railway station right in the centre of town, as their first step on German soil.

This growing global issue transcends age, gender and ethnicities. It includes victims trafficked from overseas and vulnerable people in the UK who are forced illegally to work against their will across many different sectors such as agriculture, hospitality, construction, retail and manufacturing. Modern slavery and its components of forced labour and human trafficking are a growing concern around the world. Ensuring that internationally proclaimed human rights, as specified in the International Bill of Human Rights, are respected across our business and by our suppliers is an important priority for Aston Martin Lagonda. The Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires commercial organisations supplying goods or services with a turnover above £36 million to prepare and publish an annual ‘Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement’. The Statement must set out the steps an organisation has taken, if any, during its financial year to ensure that slavery or human trafficking is not taking place in its supply chain.

The new UK Corporate Governance Code, to take effect for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, includes some far reaching changes, and the year ahead will be a period of review and change for many companies. Remuneration committees must look at how best to adapt to an expanded remit around workforce remuneration, as well as a greater focus on how judgment is used to ensure that pay outcomes are justified and supported by performance. Against this backdrop, 2018 has been a mixed year in the FTSE 250 executive pay environment. In terms of pay outcomes, the picture is relatively stable. Overall pay levels have fallen for FTSE 250 chief executives and we have seen continued momentum in companies adopting executive alignment features such as holding periods, as well as strengthening shareholding guidelines for executives.
