The fund fell 17.5% over FUND MANAGER the quarter, versus the MSCI ACWI which fell 16%, FTSE All Share which fell 25.1% and UK Gilts which rose 7%. While the fund had performed well in previous periods of market stress, March 2020 was extremely challenging given the severity of the equity market declines. Liquidity driven, broad indiscriminate selling resulted in sharp falls in many UK listed investment companies and REITS. The FTSE 250 was one of the worst performing developed markets, falling 30%, its worst quarter on record, and many investments held in the fund are contained within the index. Property performed poorly, as the sector braced itself for the economic fallout from country ‘lock downs’ with resultant negative impact on rental income. Discounts across the investment company sector widened to levels not seen since the GFC in the space of a few days. While the hard economic data may well be exceptionally weak for sometime, and volatility is likely to continue, many of the James Mee - CFA underlying assets held in the fund should be insulated from the weakness in short term economic data. Only in the bleakest of economic scenarios are companies such as these permanently impaired, while from these levels many holdings offer very FUND MANAGER attractive long term potential. We had reduced our cyclical energy exposure earlier in the quarter through the sale of Shell and the PIMCO MLP and Energy Infrastructure fund given increasing concerns on the oil market supply and demand dynamics, which was fortuitous timing prior to the resulting oil price collapse. The funds property and consumer focused specialist lending exposure was especially weak over the quarter. Property has been at the epicentre of the storm and share prices declined sharply in March across the sector. Following extensive bottom up research we increased our holdings in Regional REIT, Secure Income REIT and Starwood European Real Estate, where we felt the share price declines appeared an overreaction to the long term prospects of these businesses.
