  • Rathbone Income Fund Update June 2018
    Rathbone Income Fund Update June 2018 Introduction This year is panning out pretty much as we might have predicted. It does seem that the fund fares better when volatility increases and investor sentiment takes a downward lurch; conversely, more buoyant equity markets have generally presaged relative underperformance. We have been very clear in explaining our positioning in 2018, and how our caution acts as a brake on performance when bulls are in the ascendance. However, we argue that our prudence is crucial considering market circumstances, and our year-to-date underperformance is the cost of this “insurance” against a more substantial correction in equity markets. 3 months 6 months 1 year 3 years 5 years Rathbone Income Fund 7.72 1.16 1.12 23.22 52.54 IA UK Equity Income Sector 8.33 1.71 6.04 24.24 52.08 FTSE All-Share index 9.20 1.69 9.02 31.62 52.76 Source: Rathbones, FE Analytics Q2/Three-month performance Our fund gained 7.72% versus a sector average of 8.33% and the market’s 9.20% return. These are solid gains, driven by our holdings in BP and Royal Dutch Shell. They benefited from a surge in the oil price, with Brent crude appreciating over 17% over the quarter. We also appreciated recoveries in ITV and Relx, as well as continued strength in GlaxoSmithKline. Laggards were not particularly consequential: Lockheed Martin, Danske Bank, British American Tobacco (BAT), Carnival and UDG were on the negative side of the equation.
