  • COVID-19 Proxy Governance Update
    COVID-19 Proxy Governance Update 2020 AGM mid-season review FROM EQUINITI 01 Looking back and planning ahead It is incredible to note that it has been over 12 weeks since the official announcement on 23 March of the UK Government’s Stay at Home Measures, and nearly seven months since the severity of the pandemic became apparent in China. Over the said period, PLC boards, company secretaries and investor relations officers have kept their corporate calendars going thanks to rapid adoption of modified regulatory guidelines and inventive modes of engagement with investors. With annual general meetings being an obvious highlight in the corporate calendar, we take stock of the progress made so far over the 2020 AGM season, as well as using what we learned to plan ahead. Now that we are over the first ‘hump’ with the busy period of May AGMs out of the way, we are readying for the second ‘peak’ of June and July AGMs, and then an ‘easing’ until the second ‘mini’ season in the early autumn. As such, in this update, we look at: • 2020 AGM season statistics…so far • Proxy adviser engagement and ISS recommendations review • High-level assumptions for Q3 and Q4 • Relevant updates from the regulators, industry bodies and proxy advisers • Communications in the COVID-19 world – special commentary by leading financial PR firm,Camarco • How has COVID-19 impacted activism – special commentary by international law firm,White & Case 02 2020 AGM Season Statistics…so far Scope of data To assess progress and forecast what is to come, we look at the key statistics for the UK AGM season 2020 thus far.

  • There's No Place Like Home! Ten Investment Trusts for Value and Growth
    There’s No Place Like Home! Ten investment trusts for value and growth 26 April 2021 Once again the focus is on UK trusts and particularly smaller companies. This report casts an eye over the trusts that make up the 10-stock portfolio selected by my value and momentum ranked investment trust screen. These stocks fit with specific rules (below) that ensure a degree of diversity in the selection of trusts but still give scope for distinct investment themes to emerge. And while this screen, like almost all screens run by the Investors Chronicle, is considered a source of ideas for further research rather than an off-the-shelf portfolio, the back test of the 10-trust rules over the last 17 years suggest they do considerably enhance the performance. Highlights this month: ● All seven previous Alpha IT Reports are showing good outperformance against the MSCI World index and FTSE All Share ● The strategy’s long-term record since mid-2004 now boasts a near 10-fold return. ● The UK is a central theme once again with five of the 10 trusts (the maximum allowable by the Alpha portfolio rules) focusing on the home market. Analyst: Algy Hall [email protected] 1 Lucky Seven! Since launching the Alpha Investment Trust report in July last year, all seven 10-trust portfolios have outperformed both the MSCI World index and FTSE All Share by a good margin. Full details of how the individual trusts performed can be found at the end of the report but the headline summary is as follows: 20-Jul-20 11-Sep-20 Name Total Return Name Total Return Alpha ITs 39.90% Alpha

  • The VT Redlands Portfolios
    The VT Redlands Portfolios What are the VT Redlands Portfolios? The VT Redlands Portfolio funds each invest in one of four defined “asset classes” namely the Equity, Multi-Asset, Property and Fixed Income categories. Each fund carries a prescribed Risk Profile on a scale of 1 to 7 – with for example Equity being the highest at a factor 5. Each one is used as a building block in the creation of bespoke risk rated investment portfolios for clients of David Williams IFA. By combining the four VT Redlands funds with other asset classes such as With Profits/ Smoothed Managed and Structured Equity funds, our clients can enjoy the benefits of a very wide level of diversification within their portfolios. This reduces volatility and creates the potential for rewarding rates of return year after year. Each Portfolio fund is constructed as a Fund of Funds providing access to the “best of the best” sector funds from a huge investment universe. The Portfolios are designed to meet their objectives as efficiently as possible whilst keeping costs to a minimum and are run according to a strict risk-control criteria. Typically, 15 to 25 different funds are held in each portfolio, with each one in turn managed by leading investment houses such as Fundsmith, Fidelity and Invesco as well as specialist boutiques including Ruffer, Fulcrum and Somerset. Underlying funds have exposure to a great many shares, bonds and other assets, Therefore, a single investment into one of the Redlands Portfolios gives a spread across a myriad of different holdings, countries and investment styles.
