View on Past Performance

Another very difficult month for equity markets. At 22% before rallying to -11.9% at the month end. Against this background the Fund held up fairly well and produced a total return of -6.2%. We took advantage of market weakness to increase the Fund's equity holdings and cash levels fell from 19% to 14% during the month.New holdings were purchased in BAT Industries, Centrica and Johnson & Johnson, the resilient US healthcare company. Aveva, Muhlbauer and Vacon were all sold while we added to a number of existing holdings such as BG, Bic, GlaxoSmithKline, Royal Dutch Shell and Tesco.
