Quarterly Fund Manager Review The top contributor to our performance this quarter was Oxford Instruments. Strong results highlighted that its strategy of focusing its R&D efforts on solving problems for specific applications in high-growth industries is delivering both faster growth in sales and higher margins. Demand in 75% of its end markets has been accelerated by Covid. The recovery of motor retail Lookers continued, leading it to report its third profit upgrade of the year. The global shortage of microchips has led to restrictions in the supply of new vehicles. Meanwhile, more flexible working practices and reduced demand for public transport have driven demand for cars. As a result, prices for both new and second-hand cars have increased, boosting margins and profits at Lookers. It was a similar story of a faster than expected recovery in demand for many of our companies. In the construction and building materials area, Tyman and Morgan Sindall both provided very encouraging trading updates: profits expectation for the current year are now ahead of their 2019 levels. In a strong quarter for stock-specific news, the majority of our underperformers were stocks where investors took a more cautious view on re-opening and so took profits. The largest falls were seen in the travel-related stocks, where a combination of the emergence of the Delta variant and the UK government’s strict but inconsistent policy on international travel weighed on the confidence of investors and consumers alike and disrupted another summer travel season. Our holdings in IAG, Jet2, National Express and WH Smith all underperformed. All four companies have strong enough balance sheets to weather a further delay in re-opening and we take encouragement from the fact that US domestic air travel is already back to close to 2019 levels. Elsewhere, Barclays gave back some of its gains as market conditions for the investment banking side of its business grew less supportive and as the market worried about a tough comparison with the exceptional trading conditions seen in the same period in 2020. A slightly slower quarter will have little impact on our long-term thesis, which envisages Barclays continuing to gain market share.
