Quarterly Fund Manager Review We added to our holdings in Moneysupermarket, Serco, Halfords, Euromoney and Britvic. Most of these businesses are seeing strong and improving trading which we do not believe is reflected in their current share prices. Moneysupermarket and Euromoney continue to be hurt by restrictions on travel but we expect trading to recover and we believe the current valuations are attractive on our three-to-five year view. Both businesses have net cash. We started a new position in oil and gas producer Jadestone. We have relatively little oil exposure in the fund and felt the free cash flow generation was compelling with the oil price at $60 per barrel (i.e. well below its current level). We also like the option value that the business has developed through its M&A record. We trimmed our holdings in Future, Morses, RPS and Volution all of which have seen their share prices rise very strongly recently. We also reduced our holding in SSP as we felt the shares were pricing in a recovery in travel that is taking longer to come about. Revolution Bars’ shares fell 20% as it raised an additional £21 million in equity to mitigate the impact of the prolonged lockdown. Although this was done at a substantial (40%) discount to the prevailing share price, it leaves the business with a robust balance sheet and therefore well placed to capitalise on the opportunity as restrictions are eased. We took part in the placing having previously reduced our holding at higher levels partly in anticipation of the need for this placing.
