It lagged its benchmark. The second quarter saw equities continue to rise. While asset allocation was positive, security selection detracted from the Fund’s relative returns. The biggest detractor from performance came from the consumer discretionary sector. Further negatives came from positioning in the healthcare and telecommunications sectors. Positioning in the financials sector was the biggest contributor. The Fund benefited from not holding Prudential, which was weak. Wealth manager St James’s Place did well after reporting a record £135bn in funds under management for the first quarter. Smurfit Kappa Group experienced strong volume growth across its cardboard box operations and is benefiting from an improved consumer demand environment and shift online. The biggest detractor from relative performance came from the zero weighting in large index constituent AstraZeneca, which performed well following a solid set of results for the first quarter. Along with other US banks, Citigroup reported that trading revenues would be lower than last year’s elevated levels and that additional cost would be required to restructure its operations. This was taken negatively by market participants and earnings forecasts were reduced. We added to the holding in catering business Compass, given that we expect the share price to recover as activity begins to return to normal levels. We added to Vodafone because of its more defensive revenue stream and the potential for revenue trend improvements, growth within its B2B business, and potential for further cost savings. Within industrials, defence technology company QinetiQ was sold. We sold package delivery business Deutsche Post following a strong run of performance. Elsewhere, we took advantage of recent share price strength to book some profits in Anglo American. We also moderated the holding in Barratt Developments. Events business Informa declined over the quarter, with investors pessimistic about the prospects of a rapid recovery in long-haul business travel. Negative sentiment also weighed on coach operator National Express. Reductions to both these stocks early in the period help to mitigate some of the losses.
