New Year, new investment ideas? Not for us. Instead, it is a case of New Year and a re-visit of ‘old’ investment ideas.

In this issue we go back to examining the outlook for gold and re-visit the perennial but fundamental question of that for UK shares.

I think the majority of us hold our stockmarket investments in UK-listed shares, including investment trusts, or Open-ended investment companies (Oeics) which invest in the UK market, so the outlook for our country and its economy is a key issue.

Over the course of the last two years so much comment on the outlook for UK shares has been overshadowed by the protracted Brexit debate and the behaviour of our politicians. (I am writing this comment piece as we await the result of the latest general election.)

But as many subscribers and readers will know, it is not actually politicians who drive the value of UK shares forward, it is the companies themselves by the way they run their businesses.

The impact politicians do have is on the value of the currency – the value of sterling has fallen since the EU referendum and that has helped those UK companies who rely on exports for profits.

But as we saw in the days and weeks running up to the election, the value of sterling has begun to recover a little which would imply that the outlook for UK companies with more of a domestic focus could be improving.

Of course if income from your investments is something you rely on then a balance of share price appreciation and ability to pay dividends is what is most important.

2019 was a patchy year for dividends amongst some sectors and companies that had long been relied upon for their payouts – Vodafone is a name that springs to mind – so the issue for 2020 is surely

that of companies’ and funds’ ability to maintain or increase their distributions.

In this issue, we suggest a number of funds, in particular investment trusts, where we think there is potential to maintain or increase dividends. Some of these might be in sectors or assets which readers have not looked at before, but we would

encourage you to consider some of them.An asset class which, of course, pays no

dividends or income is gold. The precious metal is a store of wealth, but predicting its price movements is notoriously difficult even for those who really understand the commodity.

We suggested an allocation at the beginning of 2019 and were rewarded by a rise of about 10% in the price; so forgive us for ‘crowing’ a bit about being right.

We would not be so bold as to predict another 10% rise, but given how long the returns on cash deposits remain, a small allocation to gold may still be worthwhile for 2020.

If you do not like the idea of buying gold through an exchange traded fund, then some shares in an appropriate investment trust which invest in the shares of mining companies could be a route that works for you.

I always feel quite positive about the investment outlook as we move into a new year, and I hope my optimism is not misplaced.

I am a great believer in investing when sentiment is not strong. Certainly, UK shares are not universally favoured; and gold remains an enigma to many. That is a good starting point for me.

I am writing this before the end of 2019, so all that remains is for the team and myself to wish you all a merry Christmas and happy and prosperous New Year.

>| The Last Word | Peter Elston

I am not exactly sure how I have ended up as a chief investment officer. Looking forward at the investment landscape, I generally only see potential for things to go wrong. Looking back at my career, my investment mistakes dominate my memories. Many, perhaps even most, of them were a long time ago, but they still haunt me, both in my waking hours and in my sleep. I’m a worrier - managing people’s hard earned savings is an austere and great responsibility, second only to undertaking.

Furthermore, my career progression has hardly been conventional. Although I spent long stints at two big firms, I also spent a number of years in between on an Indonesian island trying to build a food business. How can such neuroticism and wanderlust constitute suitable CIO material?

When the editor and I were discussing this opportunity to pen The Last Word column, he recalled a presentation at which a well-known and respected fund manager was asked to name what he thought was the biggest challenge investors faced. Inflation? Growth? Valuations? Politics? “Hubris”, came the simple and immediate response. I could not agree more.

There is so much uncertainty in the world of investing that it is foolish to think you have it sussed. In Ancient Rome, a slave would whisper repeatedly, “Remember, you are mortal”, in the ears of victorious generals returning to Rome and its adoring crowds. A few years of good investment performance or a run of good stock picks can make one feel invincible, while the reality may well be that

behaviour of, say, numbers or planets or elementary particles or rocks or plants or people. Successful investing, on the other hand, necessitates disagreement.  For me to give myself a chance of beating my competitors, and thus the market, the last thing I should do is agree with them. I seek out where they are huddled together, such as government

bond positioning currently, and do precisely the opposite. 

This however requires one to be completely comfortable being apart from the crowd. This is hard, as it is human nature to want to conform and be part of a group. There is a famous saying in Japanese, Deru kugi

wa utareru, which means ‘A protruding nail gets hammered down’ - a stern warning to non-conformists. You will also find that many animals operate in groups too, while the dissidents perish.

I think I have my father to thank for any humility I might have and my school boarding house for turning me into something of a rebel. Boarding schools generally are horrific institutions – it is I believe completely wrong for children to be apart from their parents – but they can also nurture traits that are useful in certain professions. I learned at the age

of thirteen to despise my lazy and nasty boarding masters. Ever since, I have had what I

think is a healthy disdain for authority, whether the authority

that is embedded in the crowd or otherwise. At other times, I have completely accepted it – my prison record, or rather lack of it, speaks for itself!

Perhaps it is this unusual and somewhat contradictory combination that has made me feel lucky in my chosen profession.

one was just lucky. Probably best to assume you were lucky. There is no downside to doing this, and it does not cost anything - what a great investment! It is possible that there was skill involved, but let this inflate your portfolio not your head.

The uncertainty in investing manifests itself in the largely random movement of stock prices. It can however also relate to something equally fundamental – no one can agree whether investing is an art or a science. Some say it is one, some the other, some both. Some even say it is neither! I challenge you to think of another pursuit where there is such uncertainty.

For what it is worth, I think investing is ‘art’ not ‘science’. Science involves broad agreement about the

The AIM market needs a lot of TLC from the new government. Up to the general election there has been a lack of appetite for investing in AIM. Not that the AIM market is alone in this respect, according to Christopher Boxall, co-founder of Fundamental Asset Management (FAM).

“The stock market as a whole (not just AIM) was clearly very wary of Labour getting in, given their views on nationalisation,” said Boxall.

AIM itself is going through a very tricky period and is in desperate need of new companies, he added.

“With a large number of departures this year and few new arrivals I would suggest that the government needs to do something significant to encourage more companies to join.

“We are also concerned that the AIM listing process has become far too costly and needs to be addressed.”

Boxall said it has been a dire time for new arrivals on AIM with only one new joiner and several sizeable departures in the last month.

“The high cost of AIM admission is clearly a major barrier for many small companies in need of capital who are thinking of joining the stock market. The London Stock Exchange needs to get behind a more cost-effective solution for AIM.”

FAM reports that at the end of November 2019 there were 872 companies on AIM, with the total market value £100bn. This compares with 876 companies at the end of October 2019 when AIM’s market value was £96.8bn. There was just one new arrival and four departures in November 2019.

Longboat Energy (LON:LBE) was the sole newcomer to AIM in the month. It was established by the former management team from Faroe Petroleum to fast-track the creation of an independent full-cycle North Sea oil and gas company. The directors believe there is a unique opportunity to build a meaningful North Sea business on a relatively short time scale, with ongoing exits from incumbent firms presenting a timely opportunity to acquire assets.

Longboat raised £9.5m of new money at 100p per share with the market capitalisation on AIM admission £10m. Net proceeds received by the company of £8.76m means that this simple listing, which was a clean fund raise with no legacy matters to contend with, came at cost of £740,000, equivalent to 7.8% of the new money raised.

Referring again to the problem of the high cost of AIM admission, particularly for smaller companies, Boxall highlighted the AIM admission document of Brickability Group (LON: BRCK), the last sizeable business to join AIM in August 2019, which reveals total costs and expenses relating to the placing and admission of approximately £3m.

“The high cost of AIM admission is clearly a

major barrier for many small companies”Christopher Boxall,

Fundamental Asset Management

“True, Brickability was a complicated transaction involving the combination of several companies, but that is still a huge sum of money for paperwork, most of which is boiler-plate language, and a few meetings. Brickability raised £46m from new shareholders with a market capitalisation on AIM admission of £150m,” said Boxall.

“We would urge the London Stock Exchange to support a more cost-effective process to help small innovative companies join the market. Many entrepreneurs who have built their businesses up from scratch, will no doubt shudder at the high cost of listing. If the London Stock Exchange wants to encourage more dynamic companies to join, the AIM IPO process needs a total re-think,” he continued.

“Leavers in the month included AIM broker Shore Capital Group, a nice business majority owned by its management, which had little requirement for AIM to raise new capital. The group has retained its listing on the Bermuda Stock Exchange which means that shareholders can keep their shareholdings in ISA wrappers and continue to trade in the shares.

“Stratpro Group, a leading provider of portfolio analysis to the asset management industry, succumbed to a takeover at £161m, a 55% premium to the value the day before. Synnovia, which was formerly called Plastics Capital, was acquired for £49m, a premium of 43%.

“Clearly the stock market failed to recognise the true value of these profitable, cash generative businesses, while others grabbed the opportunity to pick up a bargain. With many other sub £100m market capitalisation companies on AIM also failing to attract much attention, there are plenty more takeover candidates out there,” Boxall added.

For as long as ethical investment, or green or environmental has been around there has been confusion as to what the terms mean and an overriding impression that investors will have to forego returns for investing with their conscience.

Now the investment management industry has agreed a common language and clear product categorisation for responsible investment approaches to help savers better access and compare funds with a focus on environmental or social outcomes. 

The Investment Association (IA), which has published industry wide definitions for responsible investment concedes that currently “…a variety of terms and phrases are used in different ways, which could leave customers confused or unable to find the investment opportunities to match their diverse responsible investment goals”. 

The definitions aim to provide clarity and consistency for savers for terms such as Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) integration, stewardship, impact investing, exclusions and sustainability focus and encourage fund managers to follow a set framework for implementation.

Definitions include: • Stewardship – the responsible

allocation, management and oversight of capital to create long-term value for clients and beneficiaries leading to sustainable benefits for the economy, the environment and society;

• ESG integration – the systematic and explicit inclusion of material ESG factors into investment analysis and investment decisions;

• Impact investing – investments made with the intention to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return;

• Exclusions – prohibition of certain investments from a firm, fund or portfolio. (Exclusions may be applied on a variety of issues, including to align with client expectations;

and to the level of: sector; business activity; product or revenue stream; a company; or jurisdictions/countries.); and

• Sustainability focus – investment approaches that select and include investments on the basis of their fulfilling certain sustainability criteria and/or delivering on specific and measurable sustainability outcome(s). Investments are chosen on the basis of their economic activities (what they produce/what services they deliver) and on their business conduct (how they deliver their products and services).

Chris Cummings, chief executive of the IA, said: “The agreement of industry-wide definitions provides consumers with much-needed clarity and choice. The investment management industry can now give its customers a clear picture of the opportunities available to them and the confidence that their chosen product matches their expectations. This is a new milestone in making it easy for people to choose a responsible investment.”

Consensus among fund managers is that things are different in the world of responsible investing which is less

about exclusions and more about a maturing market offering real growth.

Ben Constable-Maxwell, head of Sustainability and Impact at M&G, said: “Regulators are increasingly pushing for improved transparency from companies and investors, resulting in higher quality disclosure and reporting. While previously viewed primarily as about exclusions, ESG has evolved into more of a holistic approach: and companies are increasingly recognising the broader benefits of sustainability, such as improving their prospects for growth, lowering volatility of returns, and reducing the cost of capital.”

And investors – or consumers – drive much of the change in the market.

Esmé van Herwijnen, responsible investment analyst at EdenTree Investment Management, said: “Similar to the trends in the food and beverage sector, where we are seeing increased consumer consciousness over the origins and environmental impact of products, customers of investment providers are wanting to know what is in the fund that they are buying.

“That can be both through the companies that they own and their active engagement with these companies on ESG issues. It is important for asset managers to ensure this information is available, to allow customers to ask the right questions of their fund managers.”

Certainly, this is not a time for the responsible investing fund management industry to be complacent.

Neil Brown, fund manager, Liontrust Sustainable Investment team said: “We have a responsibility as an industry to be more transparent. Consumer behaviours show that people make different choices when armed with information, for example with our supermarket shopping and knowing where food has come from.

“There is still a lack of transparency around investments, and if people knew what was being done with their money then they may well make different choices.”

Tom Rosser | The Share Centre

Often used interchangeably – and perhaps incorrectly – with ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) investing; impact investing concentrates on the positive externalities produced by a company’s products or services.

Capital is allocated to create a positive and measurable social and environmental impact as well as generate a financial return.

Both practices seek to identify companies with sound ESG practices in its operations, but for a company to qualify as an impact company it has to be doing something material in helping the world achieve its sustainability goals.

 It challenges the long-held views that environmental and social issues are only to be addressed through philanthropic donations, while investing should focus on achieving financial returns.

Now, investors have opportunities to advance social and environmental solutions through investments which also produce competitive financial returns. In 2015, the General Assembly of the United Nations introduced 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which requires considerable capital investment in order to meet.

Currently, we are not keeping pace. More money is needed to implement the SDGs, especially from the private sector and financial institutions who have the ability to reduce perceived risks and encourage other stakeholders to invest.

 The Global Impact Investing Network estimated the impact investing market size at the end of 2018 at over $500bn in terms of assets under management. 

Spread over 1,340 organisations

this indicates a significant amount of capital is at work to address the issues we face.

You only have to look at the surging demand and issuance of green bonds to see investors are increasingly seeking to allocate some fixed income assets sustainably. These help finance projects aimed at energy efficiency and pollution prevention.

One measure illustrating this is the ICE Bank of America Green Bond Index, which has grown from $55bn in 2015 to $345bn at the end of October 2019.

 While measuring the impact of impact investing is a key challenge for investors, various new instruments for impact investing are being developed and measurement is becoming increasingly data driven. However it still relies on qualitative information to produce reliable results – which makes disclosure, transparency and accountability all the more important.

We are already seeing evidence of industry-wide systems, policy

influence and sector interventions all aiding in familiarising the impact investing narrative with investors.

The following funds invest to generate a positive impact, with some giving investors the ability to see what effect their investment can have.

M&G Positive Impact. The fund aims to deliver a higher total return than its respective benchmark over any five-year period by investing in companies with a positive societal impact through

addressing global sustainability challenges. Although the fund has been running just over a year, it has lived up to its name by strongly outperforming the IA Global sector.

The fund embraces the SDG

framework and allocates capital to companies focused on six key impact areas which are aligned with the SDGs.

With a wealth of expertise at the helm, and reasonable growth in assets and share price shown so far it will be an interesting one to watch in the coming years.

Montanaro Better World. The fund looks to invest in high quality companies, whose products or services are aimed at generating positive societal and environmental impacts, with an emphasis on strong ESG practices.

The fund has fared well – outperforming the sector since its inception in April 2018. From its 2019 Impact Report, it indicates that a £1m investment can help treat 200,000 gallons of water and provide 3,000 people access to healthier foods.

While this may be a very large investment, scale this down and you can start to see the impact your money can have.

FP WHEB Sustainability fund. The single global equity strategy of a specialist fund management business focused entirely on environmental and sustainable investing, seeks to invest in companies providing solutions to sustainability challenges. The team is one of the most experienced in the sector and mould the investment universe around the identification of four mega-trends: resource scarcity; ageing population; rising population/living standards; and globalisation.

Having been around a bit longer than the other funds, WHEB has a track record of producing reasonable market rate returns. In 2018, they reportedhaving avoided 218,000 tonnes of CO2 and recovering or recycling 49,000 tonnes of waste through its investments.

“Value is dead, long live growth” is being shouted from the towers of high finance these days, particularly if those towers are occupied by growth managers.

We disagree. A simpler explanation for value shares’ decade-long underperformance is that their starting valuations were high relative to history. Sentiment moves in cycles and value shares now look cheap once again. We view this questioning of value’s relevance as a condition of its success, not proof of its failure.

Over multiple decades, value investing has worked remarkably well. Over the last decade, it has not, leading to relentless outflows from value managers.

However, when you look at the long-term performance of value against growth in the US stock market it is perhaps surprising that investors have lost faith as value has outperformed growth most of the time over the past 90 years (see Figure 1).

There have been some periods where value has performed poorly. Table 1 shows the eight largest prior periods of value underperformance, measured peak to trough relative to growth.

Four of these periods were during the Great Depression; two were during oil crises; and two were during bubbles (Japan and Tech bubbles).

The current period still needs a label but given the amount of money created in the last 10 years we could

perhaps name it “Money Bubble”.

So, if this is the death of value, then it has suffered a similar fate many times before. The current period is unusual in one respect: it has been an extraordinary slow death lasting 148 months so far, compared to 26 months on average for prior occasions.

However, growth managers will argue that this time it is different because technology and low interest rates have changed the environment permanently.

TechnologyThe technology argument suggests that because technology is developing so fast, lower-quality value stocks are having their competitive positions eroded at an ever increasing pace while higher-quality companies, who own more of this technology, expand their lead.

This is certainly not what the data suggests.

If we are creating new technology faster than previous generations and that technology is genuinely

useful (i.e. productivity enhancing), then we would expect real GDP per capita to be growing faster than in the past.

There is a real problem with this, because rapidly

evolving technology has been a characteristic of the past 100 years. There is no sign that the growth rate we are experiencing today is any faster than in the past.

Interest ratesThe argument that growth should beat value when interest rates fall is quite persuasive.

Growth stocks are more interest rate sensitive than value stocks because their cash flows are further out in time, and hence more sensitive to the discount rate used.

So theoretically value should beat growth when rates rise and vice versa.

One does, however, have to be a little careful with investment theories, so before believing this argument about duration we should check the data.

At a big picture level, Figure 2 suggests that there is not a strong relationship between interest rates and the performance of value vs growth.

From January 1946 to September 1981, bond yields rose from 1.6% to 15% and value outperformed growth by 4.5% pa. But then from September 1981 to June 2003 (the low point for interest rates prior to the financial crisis), bond yields fell from 15% to 3.3%; and value outperformed growth by an almost identical 4.7% pa. So in one of the largest periods when interest rates rose and when interest rates fell in the past 500 years, there is barely any difference in the annual rate with which value beats growth.

If value has underperformed for no particularly good reason then we might guess that now would be a particularly good time to become a value investor, as was the case during the tech bubble era.

A simple way to estimate when value might potentially be cheap is to look for periods where value has performed poorly in the past, and then test to see if this is followed by attractive future performance.

What you find in Figure 3 is that when trailing

five-year returns have been poor, subsequent five-year returns have been above average on seven out of the nine occasions this occurred, positive on eight occasions and negative only once.

Conversely, when trailing five-year returns have been high, subsequent five-year returns were below average on four out of five occasions and were negative on three of these five occasions.

So, if we look back to the 2006/2007 period, value had experienced the best five-year performance in nearly 100 years.

It was therefore not surprising that growth performed unusually well from that starting point. When you look at where we are now, value has experienced one of the worst five-year periods on record, and in our view history suggests that it is due to outperform from here.

So maybe value is not dead, but it has been wounded by investors’ rush to bond proxies and long-term momentum stocks – both of which have higher weightings in growth indices rather than value.

Today, momentum stocks are close to the most expensive they have been relative to history.

Just another cycleValue has a long history of outperforming growth and investors should require a strong argument before accepting the unusual performance

since 2006 as a permanent fixture.

Falling interest rates and unusually rapid technological development are often cited as reasons for growth stocks permanently outperforming value shares in the future.

When you look at the data, you find that technology has not achieved a growth rate faster than what was achieved historically, and that historical return differences between value and growth have not been sensitive to large changes in interest rates.

Thus our conclusion

is that “this time it is not different”. A far simpler explanation is that market momentum has now carried the trend to a point where growth stocks look expensive and value stocks look cheap.

This pattern is a recurring theme in the stock market: what begins in truth ends in farce. That is why we have cycles and this time around we believe the cycle is offering investors a real opportunity in value stocks.

January is the month when millions of Britons rush to meet HMRC’s deadline for submitting their online self-assessment tax returns.

Those who are late face an immediate fine of £100 (though some excuses are permissible, like serious illness or the death of a spouse, civil partner or close relative). The fines escalate after 30 days, so it is worth getting on with it.

If completing a tax return is a pain, then paying the bill can hurt even more. These tips might help reduce it.

Get your income rightA number of expenses can be subtracted from your total income, creating what is known as your “taxable income”. Those who work from home or are self-employed may be able to offset expenses necessary to the running of their business against their income.

Those who are employed may be able to deduct the cost of petrol if their employer does not provide a mileage allowance, or if the amount provided falls short of HMRC’s approved mileage rates. Commuting to work is unlikely to count.

You may be able to offset the cost of repairing or replacing small tools necessary for your job, or for cleaning, repairing or replacing specialist clothing (like a uniform or safety boots). You can reclaim tax for up to five years’ uniform expenses, which could add up to several hundred pounds. Ordinary working clothes do not count and,

It is tax return time – use your allowances

Charles Calkin | James Hambro & Partners

Comment>|

HMRC tell us, nor did one person’s claim last year for £45 towards woolly underwear!

Income from investments also has to be included in your ‘taxable income’ figure, but again there are allowances to mitigate this. For instance, we each have a £2,000 dividend allowance. Income from ISAs, National Savings Certificates and premium bond or National Lottery winnings are tax free.

The first £1,000 of income

from property you own is tax-free – this is known as the “property allowance”. If you rent a room in your house, where the gross rents are less than the rent-a-room threshold (currently £7,500) the income is exempt from tax and does not need to be reported to HMRC.

Gift aid benefitsMake a note of all the donations you have made to charities in the year through gift aid. As I discussed in some detail in last month’s column, higher-rate (40%) tax payers can claim back 20% on all gift aid donations

made during the tax year. Additional rate taxpayers can claim 25%. This can be offset against your income tax bill.

Pension allowance Higher-rate and additional-rate taxpayers can claim tax relief at their marginal rate on their pension contributions but only the basic-rate tax relief of 20% is added to pension contributions by providers at source. It means these taxpayers must remember

to claim back the extra relief in their tax return. It is estimated that high earners lose out on hundreds of millions of pounds of relief every year by forgetting to do this. You can backdate claims from the three previous years too.

Marriage allowanceMany couples also miss out on ‘marriage allowance’, which can be worth up to £250. This allows you to transfer £1,250 of your tax-free personal allowance to a higher-earning spouse or civil partner. The lower earner must normally have

an income below their personal allowance, usually £12,500, and the higher earner should be a basic rate taxpayer. You can backdate claims to 5 April 2015.

Tax-friendly investment schemesAn effective relief for some people is the Enterprise Investment Scheme. The scheme is aimed at wealthier, sophisticated investors, often with a greater appetite for risk, allowing them to invest up to £1m in qualifying small companies in any tax year and receive up to 30% tax relief on this sum.

A similar scheme called the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme allows people to invest up to £100,000 a year in early-stage companies and receive initial tax relief of 50% on their investments.

Other so-called venture capital schemes include Social Investment Tax Relief, which allows investors to claim 30% tax relief on up to £1m invested in certain socially focused organisations, and, finally, 30% tax relief on up to £200,000 invested in Venture Capital Trusts, which raise money to invest in early-growth companies.

Ask for helpFilling out a tax return remains difficult. It is worth considering hiring an accountant, who will ensure you are claiming back the maximum allowed relief.

Charity>|

L ast year alone over £10bn was donated by UK households to good causes.

And as recently as October, it was revealed that the UK was the seventh most generous nation in the world over the last decade.

Armed with such a strong appetite to give back, sometimes the hardest part of charitable giving is the getting started.

Philanthropy can be a grandiose word for some, but at its heart, it is simply about finding the perfect fit for your good intentions and generosity.

At the Charities Aid Foundatione, we work with thousands of people each year to make sure they find causes that match what they are trying to achieve. Whether you are thinking about donating a considerable amount of money or a small nest egg that you want to ensure is put to good use, we have pulled together a few thoughts to get you started.

Who gives to charity?Most people in the UK give to charity in some way, but our research tells us that women and older people are the most likely to engage in charitable and social activities.

Only 10% of women in the UK have not taken part in a charitable activity in the last year. Pensioners are also highly engaged with charities; among all adults aged 65+, only 8% have not done something charitable within the last 12 months.

What do people give to?Of those who have donated money to charity within the last month, 26% gave to charities supporting children or young people; and 26% also gave money to animal welfare charities. Medical research was the choice of 25% of donors; while 20% gave to hospitals and hospice charities.

Overseas aid and disaster relief donations saw a spike in 2017, likely due to the number of large-scale international disasters that year including the Rohingya

crisis, Hurricanes Harvey and Maria and the earthquake in Mexico.

How to startThis is a great time to ask yourself a few questions about what motivates you to give in order to decide where to make your contribution: • Where have I spent my time

and money in the past and why?

• What upsets me about the

As the season of giving shades into one of new resolutions, many people’s thoughts turn to charity without knowing how best to go about it. Joanna Walker explains how to make your philanthropic instincts count

world today and what would I like to improve?

• What long-term change would I like to see as a result of my giving?

• Do I have specialised skills or networks that I can draw on in addition to my giving? (For example, if you are a financial adviser and want to help a small charity local to you, you may be able to give your time to provide professional financial advice free of charge.)

www.whatinvestment.co.uk WhatInvestment January 2020 15

Charity>|

These questions should help single out where your interests lie

and perhaps separate out causes that you may have supported in the past, but which no longer match your goals or what you’re

truly interested in.

How much should I give?

This is a highly personal decision. You should only contribute an amount that you can afford and feel comfortable with giving. Charities are grateful

for any financial support a donor provides, and money is only one piece of a much bigger puzzle. Some people are able to

introduce their own network of friends, neighbours and colleagues to the work of a great

charity and some can provide professional services such as accountancy on a pro bono or discount basis – a strong example of giving that does not necessarily involve a wallet.

How you can help Take an example of someone who wants to

improve women’s rights by giving to charities that

work in this area. It is useful to think about what you want to achieve. Do you want to help an organisation close to home where you can be more hands-on? Perhaps supporting women from disadvantaged backgrounds in your local community into training or employment?

Or perhaps you want to take a more national or international view and press for major political or legal changes. It could be that you would like to see overseas aid used to help educate women in the world’s poorest countries. In which case, a charity that has a strong background in advocacy and campaigning might be the best fit.

You may also want to identify where important issues affecting women’s rights are being neglected or underfunded, or where road-blocks to progress might be most acute.

Pinpointing what you foresee

as the result of giving your time and resources is helpful across a host of issues. Whether you are interested in helping to find a cure for cancer, eager to save the Amazon Rainforest or offer opportunities to vulnerable young people, it is vital to recognise how you personally want to help.

Finding the right charities There will, inevitably, be a wide range of charities out there who are involved in the type of problem you are eager to help solve and it’s important to work out which one is your best fit.

This is the point where we suggest to clients that they identify the charities that implement their programmes – essentially deliver their good work – based on underlying evidence, ideally produced elsewhere.

If, for example, you want to help protect endangered rhinos, then a charity that only produces accounts of its work in-house, claiming to save dozens of rhinos a year without independent verification is not the type of organisation you want to work with. It is much better to choose a rhino charity that has audited financial statements and is cited by other leading organisations for the results it has achieved.

Support from respected national governments and international bodies such as the United Nations is also a bonus.

As a donor, evidence is the best way to ensure your donations are effective. It brings both objectivity and rigour to your decision, while reducing the chances of any misunderstandings about the charity’s work – something that can happen when we rely on anecdotes and word of mouth rather than concrete evidence.

Types of donationsWe often see donors who prefer to make what are known as restricted grants – essentially a pot of money directed towards a specific programme or project over a set period of time.

Taking the rhino example, it could be that people direct their donations towards a specific breeding programme in Tanzania. This approach helps connect donors to the cause and gives them a clear vision of how their donation is working.

However, for some charities – especially smaller ones – this can inadvertently create a problem. Donations that are restricted can damage small charities’ ability to monitor their work – an essential part of providing us with that vital evidence of how they operate.

A charitable legacyOne of the ways you can create a lasting relationship with your favourite charity is to leave them money in your will.

For example, a donor who is passionate about alleviating child poverty in Birmingham might want to create a charitable legacy.

There are a couple of ways to go about this.

The donor could leave several different pots of money in his/her will to different charities that work with young people in Birmingham. This would require documentation for each individual legacy and can take a fair bit of both time and paperwork.

Alternatively, they can work with a charity that offers legacy services and identify the charities they would like to support, or if they are not sure, legacy advisers can connect them with charities that will achieve their mission. The donor’s wishes can then be condensed into a Letter of Wishes that will act as a roadmap to putting them wishes into action once they passes away. The aim is clearly stated and can be achieved with minimal fuss.

There are experts to support your giving, to help define the sort of problems you want to solve, which charities fit the bill, establish how much you want to give and how to get involved. Get help and give help.

This year has been another rollercoaster for global markets, rocked

by the on-and-off trade war between China and the US and the uncertainty surrounding Brexit negotiations closer to home, as well as fears about slowing global growth.

This has been particularly positive for safe-haven assets such as gold, which tend to become a place of refuge for investors during times of market stress. In September, the price of gold bullion rallied some 21% to a multi-year high of around $1,550 per ounce.

Recent months, however, have seen global tensions calm amid hopes for a resolution of the trade war, while UK

2019 began as very positive for gold, as geopolitical events spooked investors and sent them running towards safe havens. Can we expect another year of stellar returns from the shiny metal or is it time to sell? Anna Fedorova reports

GOLD Can it continue to glitter or is it set to lose its shine in 2020?

investors enjoyed a brief respite from Brexit troubles after the deadline was pushed back once again. Consequently, the price of gold retreated back below the $1,500 level.

The near-term outlook for gold remains relatively bleak as it stumbles around the $1,450 mark, according to Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at broker OANDA.

In a note on the 29 November, he said the precious metal is “…still looking vulnerable to further downside action, with a break below $1,440 potentially being the catalyst for another sell-off, at

which point $1,400 becomes a key level of interest”.

However, going into 2020, gold is likely to see further strength and could hit new multi-year highs, according to some market experts.

Sheridan Admans, investment manager at The Share Centre, expects gold to breach its recent peak of $1,550 once again in the coming 12 months before pushing to around $1,600.

Others are even more bullish: John Leiper, head of portfolio management at Tavistock Wealth, sees gold rallying to $1,700 per ounce next year; while David McAlvany, CEO of Vaulted and McAlvany ICA, predicts an even more astronomical rise.

“If troubling trade relations or a global economic trajectory deteriorates, and central banks are unable to alleviate fears, the journey to the old highs of $1,920 will be a short one,” he said.

“Thereafter, competitive devaluations could open the door to a target roughly twice the inflation adjusted price of the metal …$4-5,000 per ounce.”

Catalysts for growthThere are a number of reasons gold can be expected to glitter once again in 2020, according to experts. A weaker dollar and rate cuts by central banks across the globe are both positive for the precious metal, said Admans.

In fact, the interest rate swap

market is pricing in 58 cuts over the coming 12 months.

Steven Jon Kaplan, CEO of True Contrarian Investments, predicts gold will approach its all-time peak of 1919 next year, driven by a lower US dollar and a surprise rise in inflation.

He added: “It is also the case that gold tends to outperform when the Russell 2000 has been in an extended downtrend. The Russell 2000 had topped out at 1,742.0889 on 31 August 2018 and even with the recent rebound remains well below that level. This should be positive for gold for perhaps one year.”

Another tailwind is the rising demand from central banks, especially those of emerging market countries such as Russia and China.

“They have been significantly increasing gold reserves in recent years in an effort to diversify away from the US dollar as tariffs and protectionism remain on the political agenda,” Admans said.

“It is also worth considering rising negative yielding bonds, gold is negatively correlated to interest rates so in a negative interest rate environment gold should shine.”

Meanwhile, continued political uncertainty, an ongoing trade war and an upcoming US presidential election are likely to keep investors on their toes next year, meaning gold will likely retain its safe-haven appeal, according to Ben Yearsley, co-founder of Fairview Investing.

He added: “Quite often gold performs well two or three years in a row so on that basis 2020 could be decent.”

To hold or not to hold?Based on these positive views and against a shaky global backdrop, most commentators advocate holding gold in portfolios for protection and diversification purposes.

Carsten Menke, head of Next Generation Research at Julius Baer International, said: “Gold typically performs well in such

The gold story of the year gone by At the beginning of 2019 What Investment looked at the outlook for a rise in the gold price after a long conversation with Sharps Pixley, one of London’s most well-known bullion dealers.

Gold is often said to be a store of wealth in times of fear, but as it pays no dividend or income, some private investors are not too keen on it as an investment.

Twelve months on, any readers who took up our suggestion to look at putting a bit of money into gold would be looking at double digit returns.

The investment bank Goldman Sachs has kept its 12 month forecast for gold at $1,600 per troy ounces, saying investment demand will be supported by fears of recession and political uncertainty.

Gold gained about 14% in 2019, its biggest annual rise since 2010, but down about 6% from a six-year peak of $1,557 an ounce in early September, according to the Reuters news agency.

Goldman, in a note dated 6 December, attributed this fall to rising global ‘risk’ appetite on an easing in US-China trade tensions and a strong US labour market.

However: “Without a major growth acceleration, recession fears are likely to remain elevated supported by a low unemployment rate and an inverted yield curve,” it added.

The US bank predicted a small depreciation in the US dollar, which should make gold cheaper for holders of other currencies in 2020. It also expects political uncertainty due to prolonged trade tensions and the US elections, which should drive demand for gold.

Geopolitical uncertainty is already translating into greater gold demand, Goldman said, adding that 2019 will likely be a record year for global central bank buying with a target of 750 tonnes combined purchases.

“Next year, we see central bank purchases slightly below 2019 but likely to remain elevated due to high geological uncertainty, a low level of interest rates globally and a low share of gold in a number of emerging market central bank reserves.”

The end of November saw the Polish government move its store of gold out of the Bank of England vaults in London back to Poland; and during 2019 the monetary authorities in China were regular buyers of gold, as was India.

an uncertain environment and should we experience some setback in the equity markets, it should benefit as well.”

According to Adrian Ash, director of research at peer-to-peer exchange BullionVault, over the long term gold is one of the best diversifiers against global equities.

“On a five-year horizon, gold has risen 98% of the time that the US stock market fell from a half-decade before,” he said. “The figure for gold priced in sterling versus the FTSE All-Share (price index) is 96%.”

The Share Centre’s Admans believes as much as 10% of a well-diversified portfolio should be dedicated to gold to “reap the rewards”.

“I think this is a must,” he said. “Gold tends to respond positively to events that cause the value of fixed income and equities to fall. While gold does not provide an income/cash flow over the long term it has maintained its purchasing power despite short-term volatility in the metal.”

He noted that over the past 15 years, gold has had a compound annual growth rate of 8.82% versus 6.52% for the S&P 500 index, and has achieved this with lower annualised volatility.

What could derail the rally?Not all markets participants are bullish on the outlook for gold.

Rupert Thompson, head of research at wealth managers Kingswood, said: “We see little reason to expect the gold price to rise any further following its strong gains of late as we believe the global economic environment should improve somewhat.”

On the back of similar expectations, Marcus Garvey, commodities strategist at financial services group Macquarie is expecting gold prices to “to consolidate in the low-mid

$1,400 per ounce area” in 2020, which he believes will give investors an opportunity to top up their holdings “before prices move higher in 2021/22”.

At the same time, the possibility that the price of gold will plummet more significantly still remains.

BullionVault’s Ash said: “While gold has been used as money throughout history, it does not pay a yield. So its price can be very sensitive to interest-rate expectations.”

The most likely reason for a collapse in the gold price, according to Kingswood’s Thompson, would be “…a major improvement in the global economy triggering a sizeable rebound in bond yields”.

“Gold pays no interest and investors would very likely switch out of gold into government bonds if the latter started to have a more attractive yield again,” he added.

However, Scott Spencer, a manager in BMO GAM’s multi-manager team, believes the long-term supply and demand dynamics for gold remain strong: “If we see emerging market banks no longer being buyers, that would be more of a concern for us,” he said.

How to invest?If you choose to make an allocation, the key question is, what is the best way to gain exposure?

Investors have a number of options: buying physical bullion, investing in an exchange-trade vehicle called an exchange-traded commodity (ETC) or buying an open-ended fund that invests in gold miners, such as BlackRock Gold & General.

Spencer prefers owning direct physical gold rather than allocating to a fund that invests in gold miners.

This is because of the risk that gold miners could behave like equities in a major sell-off and therefore add volatility to a

portfolio, rather than dampening it through diversification.

He allocates through the iShares Physical Gold ETC, the largest and most liquid product on the market, and therefore also one of the cheapest at a total expense ratio of 0.25%.

ETCs tend to track the LBMA London Gold Market Fixing Price index, providing investors with a return equal to the movements in the gold spot price, minus management and storage fees.

Owning an ETC instead of physical bullion has the advantage of being easier and more secure to hold, without the need to pay for storage. It can also be owned within an ISA or SIPP, meaning the returns are tax-free.

However, BullionVault’s Ash added: “Although 2019 saw strong growth in gold-backed ETF positions, outright holdings of physical bullion have also increased as private investors and intermediaries look at broader risks, whether jurisdictional or trading related.

“The risk of exchange controls cannot be discounted as state finances struggle to meet ever-growing political promises.

“Because gold trades in a global market, its sharpest price moves can come when local stock markets are closed.”

But when it comes to UK-based investors, Yearsley believes an ETC may not be the ideal option given the recent volatility of sterling. Instead, his favourite way of gaining exposure is through the Merian Gold & Silver fund.

“It’s unusual as it invests in both gold shares (i.e. gold miners) and also physical gold,” he said.  

“Ned Naylor-Leyland, the fund’s manager does seem to live and breathe gold. When he is feeling more defensive there will be more physical in the fund; and when bullish more gold equities.”

BMO’s Spencer added it is worth being aware of the gold allocation within other funds in a portfolio. For example, he holds the Majedie UK Focus and Majedie Tortoise funds, both of which have small allocations to gold.

able to access funding from other sources.

Octopus Investments for example, the largest VCT provider in the UK, invested £43m into 15 new smaller companies last year.

One example is Cazoo, which is aiming to transform the way people buy used cars in the UK. Cazoo was founded by Alex Chesterman who previously founded Zoopla Property Group, another company that Octopus invested in in 2008, and which was the first VCT backed business to reach a £1bn valuation.

Companies in the OctopusVCT portfolio created more than 700 more new jobs in 2018 adding to more than 2,000 jobs created in the previous three years, showcasing the valuable economic benefits that VCTs provide.

It so happens that the tax reliefs that come with a VCT investment have the added benefit of offering an alternative way to build up your retirement portfolio for those that are comfortable with the risks.

What are the risks?Of course, you need to recognise that investing in a VCT is not without risk.

VCTs are considered high risk and are not suitable for everyone. They invest in smaller, less established companies. The value of a VCT investment, and any income from it, can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the full amount invested.

As well as the risk of loss, you should also remember that the share prices of VCTs can move around more than other companies you will find listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. They may also be harder to sell.

It is important to note that tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in the future. Tax reliefs will also depend on the VCT maintaining its qualifying status.

R ecent restrictions on pension contributions have encouraged many

higher and additional rate taxpayers to turn to venture capital trusts (VCTs) when planning for retirement.

While VCTs have always been valued for their usefulness in tax planning, and for offering exposure to growing UK businesses, years ago they used to be considered niche. Now they are becoming more mainstream, as higher earners look for tax-efficient ways to complement their pension and ISA allowance through additional investments.

The limits on your pension potThere are additional charges incurred if you put too much in your pension – both within a tax-year and in your lifetime. This means there is a point at which your pension loses its tax-efficiency. When you exceed your annual allowance you lose the upfront tax relief. High earners could be limited to as little as £10,000 for the annual limit they can put into their pension.

There is also the lifetime allowance. This limit sits at £1.055m for the 2019-20 tax year, compared with £1.8m just a few years ago.

When your pension exceeds the lifetime allowance, contributions can incur an additional tax charge when you retire. The tax rate of the additional charge depends of whether the excess is paid as a lump sum, where it is taxed at 55%, or as income, where it is taxed at 25% (tax is then payable

on the income received at marginal rates).

Little wonder then, that many investors have turned to alternative tax-efficient ways to plan for their retirement.

An incentive to back smaller businessesIn 1995, the government set up VCTs to encourage investors to invest their money in higher risk, early-stage UK businesses. To help encourage this behaviour, VCTs offer tax reliefs on investments up to £200,000 each year.

You can claim up to 30% upfront income tax relief on a VCT investment, provided you

hold the investment for five years. And there is no tax to pay on any dividends or capital gains.

If you are concerned about being affected by the tax treatment of oversubscribed pensions, a VCT can be a tax-efficient way to add to your retirement pot, alongside your pension and ISA. However, it is important to recognise that VCTs have a higher risk profile compared to your typical retirement planning investments. This is why we recommend

investors seek professional financial advice before making investment decisions.

Supporting the UK economySmaller companies create jobs, innovate and generate tax revenue for the government. But without significant investment, they would not have the same impact on our economy and without the capital may not be

Finding the Goldilocks zoneStephen English ruminates on the role of the business founder and asks if it is possible to find one whose level of involvement is ‘just right’

The search for extra-terrestrial life is not normally my field. As

interesting as it is to speculate on whether we are alone in this universe, more earthbound concerns around earnings dividends will inevitably be more pressing for fund managers, even for those of the star variety.

So the news that astronomers have identified what they deem to be habitable planets many light years away might seem like an unlikely starting point for a discussion of founder interest in listed stock-market companies.

But there is a link, I promise. In attempting to classify

these exoplanets – planets from outside of our own solar system - scientists determine habitability by talking about a “Goldilocks zone”. That is, in order for a planet to potentially support life it should be neither too hot, nor too cold for liquid water, an essential building block for life, to exist.

Similarly, startups have a Goldilocks zone – one where the founder’s involvement is pitched “just right”.

Founder feelingInvestors generally like investing with those that have the entrepreneurial spark. This is the whole basis of angel investing. But further along any company’s evolutionary path, the importance of the founder to a business is sometimes overlooked.

A founder that is still in the business will be able to exert their influence on how the business runs. They will go above and beyond in ensuring the company is run along the right lines; they will not go on acquisition sprees just to play to their egos or to artificially inflate earnings. Nor do they tend to issue more shares; indeed, they are more likely to shrink the share capital rather than issue more.

And yet, while founder interest is on the whole a good thing, there are limits. Sometimes the underlying reasons for their success often account for a founder’s demise. They might end up believing their own press and become overly self-promotional. Or they can be too clever by half or too pushy about hitting targets.

Such traits will often be tied to the size of their holding and this is where I reach for the interplanetary comparison. A company where the founder controls and over-sized holding will be too close to the sun. Anything over the 30% mark rings warning bells for me.

Above that level, there is a tendency for a founder to believe they can do whatever they want, even if it is to the detriment of other shareholders. There are, however, some great examples of businesses that benefit from a founder that gets it right.

The first is a specialist recruitment firm that works

in niche areas such as tech, AI, robotics and life sciences. It was founded by Ian Temple who is also the chief executive and currently controls just over 12% of the shares. The company has net cash which by year end will represent 35% of its £18m market cap by year end.

Lok’n’Store is a self-storage group which is currently executing a strong store roll-out programme which offers abundant evidence of structural growth trend. Founded by Andrew Jacobs, who owns 19% of the company and, again, also performs the role of chief executive, Lok’n’Store trades at a 5% premium to NAV against the 40% for larger peers such as Big Yellow and Safestore.

Lastly, there is corporate finance house K3 which was founded by current executive vice-chairman Tony Ford who now owns just over 15% of the firm while the CEO John Rigby, who did not found the firm but has been in the post there since 2000, has another 18%. While the business had a stellar 2018, landing some large sizeable deals, these haven’t been repeated yet the underlying growth in its core business of matching buyers and sellers for sub-£50m businesses remains strong.

JPMorgan Funds – Emerging Markets Sustainable Equity FundPatrick Connolly, chartered financial planner at IFAs Chase de Vere, examines a fund taking an old name into a new market sector

The trend towards ethical investments, including ESG, responsible and sustainable investing, continues unabated as investment companies want to grab their share of what they see as a growing opportunity.

JP Morgan is recognised as an ethical investment company, but with this launch it is one of the first to offer a sustainable emerging markets fund, following the likes of BMO and Stewart Investors. 

They conduct two separate exclusion screenings, the first removes unsustainable industries such as tobacco companies, weapons and fossil fuels, which you would not expect to find in any ethical fund. The second excludes unsustainable businesses and is based on a 98-question checklist of environmental, social and, particularly, governance factors. This checklist brings up red flags for negative outcomes and businesses with the most red flags are excluded. The stocks are then reviewed from a valuation perspective, with a tilt given in favour of companies with the fewest red flags.

There is no doubt that JP Morgan has extensive research resources in the Emerging Markets. This makes it particularly well equipped to manage emerging market equity funds and we use some of its funds in our client portfolios. Their size and strength also means that it

conducts its own ESG analysis, which it has since 2013, without having to rely on third parties. This is another positive factor.

However, we must not forget that investing in emerging markets is high risk, and some ethical investors may wish to see JP Morgan establish its ethical credentials over a longer period before considering investing.

 I give it 3 stars.

Artemis Corporate Bond fund Darius McDermott, managing director, Chelsea Financial Services, reviews a fund headed by a highly regarded fixed income manager

Artemis has bolstered its fixed income range with the launch of a corporate bond fund under the management of Stephen Snowden.

The fund will invest in around 100 holdings, at least 80% of which will be invested in investment-grade corporate bonds (those deemed to be higher quality and with less risk of defaulting on their loans). The portfolio will also be able to invest in some high yield, government and emerging market debt and at least 80% of the portfolio will be denominated in, or hedged back to Sterling, so reducing the currency risk.

Snowden left Kames Capital for Artemis last year. His colleagues Juan Valenzuela, David Ennett and Stephen Baines made the move with him. Their colleague Jack Holmes joined the firm earlier this year. Snowden is highly regarded in the fixed income market. In his second stint at Kames, the Investment Grade Bond fund he managed returned 47.8%* between September 2011 and November 2018, compared to 40.6%* for the Investment Association Sterling Corporate Bond sector.

Snowden has an exemplary track record in his two decades managing fixed income funds. In my view this is an experienced pair of hands running a fund which will not be too different to his previous offering. The new fund will have an ongoing charge of 0.4% and individual bond selection will be key to adding value.

I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.

exposure when compared to the international titans of the FTSE 100, so this move seems a little odd if investors have been fretting all year about political paralysis and Brexit risk. Looking more closely at the charts we can see this outperformance started in August, coinciding with the turning point in sterling which has also seen a meaningful rally since. This suggests investors decided UK pessimism was overdone at that point and have started to anticipate a different narrative.

Of course this move could well be reversed or reinforced by the outcome of the election, which takes place a few days after I write this. If it is reinforced, then it seems reasonable to expect at least a catch-up by the small cap segment of the market.

Political clarity might also rekindle the animal spirits in both business and the consumer which have been in hibernation for a few years now. In turn, this would provide for a more sustained run in small cap stocks.

It is unusual for the investor in me to be so interested in UK politics; but then these have been unusual times.

Cake BoxCake Box (AIM: CBOX) operates a franchised estate of 122 shops selling freshly made, egg-free cakes. There are lots of geographical gaps in the network and the aim is to open 24 outlets a year. However the six months to September saw only nine openings which caused a pull-back in the shares. Management remain confident of hitting their annual target with five shops opened so far in the second half, a further five being built and five more in the pipeline.

The company has opened new warehouse and manufacturing facilities in Bradford, which reduces the risk of being dependent on the main Enfield site and supports expansion in the North and Scotland.

There is net cash on the balance sheet and the franchise model means that the company can fulfil its roll-out plans while generating cash. The prospective p/e of 14x and 3% yield look attractive.

RecordRecord (LON: REC) is an institutional fund manager focused on the currency markets. It was founded by Chairman Neil Record in 1983 and has been listed since 2007.

Typical clients are large institutions for whom Record provides a tailored currency overlay. This might be a straightforward passive hedge to remove currency risk, an enhanced hedge which also seeks to add some value, or be a return-seeking mandate.

The latest period saw client numbers rise from 65 to 70 but revenue has been relatively static, partly due to ongoing fee pressure which is common across the industry.

Performance fees are hard to predict with none being booked in the latest half, though returns suggest that they should remain a feature.

The shares pay a healthy dividend with occasional specials. Last year saw 3.3p of earnings with an ordinary 2.3p dividend and 0.7p special. A maintained 2.3p ordinary dividend equates to an attractive 6% yield.

A year ago we were mired in a nasty fourth quarter bear market which bottomed out on Christmas Eve. The AIM index fell 23% in just a few weeks from the start of October 2018 before Santa arrived to kick off a relief rally. However it has not been plain sailing since, with AIM continuing to lag the broader indices. The FTSE Small Cap index has fared a bit better, recovering 10% from those lows; but this is hardly anything to write home about.

Interestingly, the part of the UK equity market which has performed best subsequently is the FTSE Mid 250 index, which comprises stocks between £500m and £5bn in value. These are typically more domestic in their business

New Year is traditionally the time when many people try and get their acts together: making resolutions to break bad habits or start good ones.

Today, many of our resolutions are focused around health and well-being, and with good reason. According to a 2014 survey from the Association of UK Dieticians, the average person in the UK can consume around 6,000 calories on Christmas Day – more than double the daily allowance. They also believe the average person can easily consume an additional 500 calories each day in December, equating to a 5lbs weight gain by 1 January.

Here are four investments taking advantage of the post-Christmas blues – and the subsequent health drive – of their customers.

Reckitt Benckiser – Liontrust Special Situations fundAfter a long night where many have had one (or five) too many, the next day can often be difficult, with headache relief a top priority.

Reckitt Benckiser is a British multinational consumer company which focuses on numerous areas, including consumer healthcare products such as Nurofen. It is also a top 10 holding in the Liontrust Special Situations fund*.

Liontrust co-manager Julian Fosh said: “Reckitt Benckiser has an excellent international distribution network – more than 40,000 employees operating out of 60 plus countries.

“Its brands help give Reckitt Benckiser significant pricing power: the ability to maintain prices and profit margins in a crowded and competitive marketplace. In other words, it possesses barriers to competition.”

Coca-Cola – Morgan Stanley Global Brands fundIt may not be the healthiest solution, but Coca-Cola is often the first port of call for numerous people who are attempting dry January. There are also Diet Coke, Coke Zero and other non-caffeine variants of the brand.

The company is a 3.6% holding in the Morgan Stanley Global Brands fund*. Laura Bottega, managing director and lead portfolio specialist on the fund said: “We think they have a fantastic team and have a CIO in James Quincy who really understands pricing power and what really matters in soft drinks.

“His team has changed from focusing on the volume it can sell to the price it can achieve for its sales. It has a great brand and is evolving into a total beverage company, rather than just Coca-Cola – for example moving into healthier areas like still water and orange juice.”

Gym Group – Unicorn UK Smaller Companies fundGym memberships soar in January, as people try to assuage the guilt of their Christmas excess.

Since launch in 2007, Gym Group has opened around 170 gyms and over 800,000 members. The company is a holding† in the Unicorn UK Smaller Companies

fund, managed by Simon Moon, who said: “Gym group is a market leader in low-cost gyms in the UK and has significant scope to grow through a self-funded roll out of new sites.

“The low-cost segment of the UK gym market is growing and taking share from traditional, higher priced offerings. In addition, UK gym membership penetration lags European averages, which provides support for further growth.”

Boohoo – ASI UK Ethical Equity fundIn January, the sales are in full swing with bargains aplenty. This includes online retailers like Boohoo, which specialises in its own brand of clothing. The firm has over 36,000 products and is a 3.2% holding in the ASI UK Ethical Equity fund*.

According to manager Lesley Duncan: “Boohoo’s sales run-rate remains high and  on-track. We expect the strong sales momentum of around 25% plus to continue to be driven by overseas expansion and brand development.

“The firm is also capturing customers from different socio-demographics, following its recent deal with Karen Millen, which we believe will be a key driver of customer wallet capture and their ability to take market share from both the high street and online peers.”

The CONSCIENTIOUS

INVESTOR

Patrick Thomas | Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management

Whether you are a conscientious investor who wants to save the planet or a Darth Vader-esque, climate change denier, investing is not an easy game. There will always be the disruptors in markets and investors do not usually see them coming. Take the big retail story – 15 years ago, who would have thought that a young contender like fashion retailer Asos would overtake British high street behemoth M&S? And it is not just stock picking that is tricky – with more funds available than actual stocks, selecting the right fund manager with the right companies in their portfolios is not easy either.

From an environmental, social and governance (ESG) perspective, the premise of stock – or fund-picking is problematic. Finding the companies that produce the product or service to solve the world’s problems is not easy. Neither is finding the fund manager who finds that company.

The thematic approachThematic investing is a good option for those of us that are not Mystic Meg. Thematic investing is about identifying a particular trend – like solar energy, cloud computing, or online education – and investing in companies that operate in that space. It means the likelihood of ‘picking the winner’ increases when you invest in a broader range of similar companies.

You probably want to pick a theme that has genuine longevity. Take smartphone adoption: different companies will be involved at different stages of the supply chain and different companies will succeed at different stages of the theme’s lifecycle (remember Blackberry?). This is why investing across the theme is a more sensible strategy than attempting to pick the winner.

An attractive by-product of investing like this is you move away from the traditional fund management approach of taking big bets on individual countries. Sustainable themes are inherently global in nature.

Thematic ESG investing involves two main approaches: multi-theme and single theme.

Multi-theme approach. Various funds offer a multi-theme approach linked to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. The Baillie Gifford Positive Change fund is a concentrated, global equity fund with two objectives – to deliver attractive long-term returns and to deliver positive change by contributing toward a more sustainable and inclusive world.

The strategy invests in high quality large-cap growth companies which deliver positive social change in one of four areas: social inclusion and education; environment

and resource needs; healthcare and quality of life; and what it calls “base of the pyramid” (addressing the needs of the world’s poorest populations). Similarly, the Montanaro Better World fund’s goal is to deliver attractive returns by investing in small- and medium-sized companies that make a positive impact on the world. Holdings align to six themes that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals’ framework: environmental protection; low carbon economy; healthcare; innovative technologies; nutrition; and well-being.

 Single theme approach. Investors

can also access more specialist strategies, which invest in a single

theme. Legal & General (L&G) has exchange traded funds invested in areas such as battery technology, cyber security and water. These are

constructed by teams of experts who advise L&G on the types of companies

who offer pure play exposure to the theme.

Pictet and Schroders have launched ‘smart cities’ funds, which invest in the infrastructure, technology

and logistics involved in making the world’s most populous cities

more environmentally friendly. Pictet has also launched funds investing in sustainable food

production. More recently, Candriam has launched a

strategy investing in ground-breaking oncology treatment. 

The personal aspectThematic investing is not without its risks. For a start, it can result in a higher concentration in individual sectors – sector performance can vary and some are more volatile than others. It also often means more exposure to smaller-cap stocks, which are intrinsically more volatile than larger, more established companies. The key is to invest across a variety of themes that behave in different ways at different times.

Ultimately, thematic investing is an excellent way to align your personal values with an investment strategy and make a real difference to the world’s problems. It is also a nice way of making sure your portfolio is sensibly positioned for the next wave of disruption – wherever that is coming from.

volatility. Overall, a rise in US bond yields and concerns around weakening global economic growth, has resulted in increased risk aversion among investors.

Some parts of the market are experiencing a rotation away from ‘expensive’ growth stocks towards ‘defensive’ value stocks.

Naturally the continuing process of Brexit represents an additional uncertainty at present, with the more complex discussions around trading relationship in the future just getting started. It is quite possible that the arrangements will vary by sector, and they may yet fail to be agreed in their entirety.

Clearly there is potential for more geo-political shocks to come.

How all this plays out is anyone’s guess. I have always felt trying to predict these cycles or time the market is something of a mug’s game. So I remain focused on the individual companies we see before us, aiming to outperform across the full market cycle.

The approach I take to managing Fidelity European Values PLC is to look beyond the economic and political noise and concentrate on the real-life progress of listed businesses across this large and diverse region.

In running the Trust, I focus on researching and investing in stocks I believe can grow their dividends consistently, irrespective of the prevailing economic backdrop. History shows that these companies tend to outperform the market over the longer-term.

Since the launch of Fidelity European Values over 26 years ago, Europe has witnessed its fair share of political and economic upheaval. It is important to note though, that however significant changes might be on the political stage, the corporate sector carries on regardless.

Investment processI am naturally cautious and I am not inclined to take large bets against the market in individual sectors or countries, preferring instead to focus on companies which I believe will be able to outperform their competition over the longer-term.

My process is therefore built from the bottom up, looking at individual businesses, but keeping an eye on the wider market to avoid unexpected pitfalls.

CARPE DIEM

Back in early 2018 a well-known UK equity fund manager was asked

at a conference for financial advisers for his view of the UK stockmarket and whether or not it was a ‘buy’ on a valuation basis.

His reply yielded quite a few laughs: “It is about as unloved as a North Korean guide book.”

Behind the humour, his reasoning was simple. The UK was very out of favour off the back of the Brexit debate, which at that point had dragged on for ‘only’ 18 months.

Combine this with a variety of ‘patchy’ corporate results, some dividend cuts and a general malaise on the high street and it was easy to see why sentiment was in general a bit miserable.

The fund manager believed that as investors began to see UK shares were cheap compared to their US equivalents then money would come back into the sector. Add in his view that Brexit would be done by early 2019, and then the outlook was one which said shares were cheap.

His thinking was spot-on but he was about 12-24 months early – maybe longer depending on how long it takes for a conclusion of the UK’s departure from the EU.

There have been plenty of reasons to remain negative or fearful about the outlook for the UK stockmarket as we progressed through 2019.

UK EQUITIES LOOK CHEAP AND THE FUNDAMENTALS ARE STRONG.TIME TO INVEST? OVER THE NEXT FEW PAGES WE EXAMINE THE CASE, SUGGEST INVESTMENT APPROACHES AND TAP INTO THE EXPERTISE OF TWO LEADING FUND MANAGERS. INTRODUCTION BY LAWRENCE GOSLING

We saw notable dividend cuts from firms like Vodafone; a number of high profile companies going bust; a slowing of the economy; the protracted Brexit debate; and then the general election at the end of the year.

But in such a scenario a certain Warren Buffet quotation is worth remembering: “Invest when others are fearful.”

Companies are not valued on the public’s view of politicians, but on fundamentals –namely is their business growing, are they increasing the amount of cash they generate and are they doing the right things with that cash?

All the people we have spoken to in the course of putting together our view of the UK stockmarket are agreed – there are enough good companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, whose share prices are at attractive levels, to make it worth a plunge back into the market if you have stayed away for a few years.

Many readers hold the bulk, if not all, of their stockmarket investments, in UK-listed funds and companies so the advice is simple: stick with what you have and, if you can, invest a bit more.

And after all, the UK stockmarket performed quite well in 2019 – it just did not feel like a very positive investing year.

Maybe that is another thing we can blame on politicians!

Investors have not been queuing up to buy UK stocks over the past few

years. They have largely been disinterested in UK-focused businesses at a time when many companies have experienced weak consumer and business confidence.

The end result has been low company valuations across a range of sectors. Those valuations, however, do not correspond to what has been an encouraging performance from the UK economy. A number of measures, such as employment levels, inflation and wage growth, suggest that investor apathy towards UK stocks may be misplaced.

Political risks, Brexit and a range of other challenges may remain during 2020. But now could be a good time to buy UK stocks due to them offering wide margins of safety. This could mean there are a wealth of buying opportunities for long-term investors.

Economic fundamentalsA wide range of data indicates that the UK economy is in a relatively strong position. For example, the unemployment rate reached a 45-year low in

2019. It currently stands at 3.8%, and has gradually declined since a post-financial crisis peak of 8.5% was recorded in 2011. This is indicative of an economy that is expanding and creating new jobs, which could gradually produce improving GDP growth.

Higher levels of employment may also lead to rising wages. Their growth rate reached an 11-year high of 3.9% in 2019. Crucially, wage growth is ahead of inflation. A continuation of this trend, spurred on by low unemployment levels, could lead to a rise in consumer disposable incomes on a real-terms basis.

Consumers may find that the pessimism they have felt over the last four years, according to the GfK consumer sentiment index, gradually subsides. They may increase their spending on a range of goods and services, thereby providing a tailwind for companies that operate in the UK. This situation is made more likely by an inflation rate that has been close to the Bank of England’s 2% target throughout 2019, and which is expected to remain at 1.9% during 2020.

A modest rate of inflation could dissuade the Bank of England from raising interest rates at a fast pace. The central

bank’s recent updates have suggested that it is likely to maintain a dovish stance on monetary policy, which could encourage growth in consumer spending. In turn, this may alleviate weak business sentiment that has been present during 2019, and could encourage a larger amount of investment in the UK economy.

The UK’s recently downgraded GDP forecasts suggest that growth of 1.4% is expected in 2020. This may be below the growth forecast for the US of 2.1%, but is ahead of other major developed economies such as Germany and Japan, forecast to grow by 1.2% and 0.5% respectively in 2020. Therefore, on a relative basis, the UK’s macroeconomic prospects may be relatively robust. This could mean that the sales and profitability of companies that rely on the UK improves in future.

Political changePolitical risks have contributed to weak investor sentiment towards UK shares over the past few years. Much of this has been centred on Brexit, with the UK having faced a period of ‘stalemate’ in the House of Commons as various deals with the EU have repeatedly failed to gain a majority among MPs.

Brexit is set to remain a central political theme throughout 2020, and possibly beyond. This may mean that there is an ongoing sense of uncertainty that permeates into business, consumer and investor sentiment, and causes further operating challenges for UK-focused businesses.

However, the valuations of UK shares suggest that in many cases investors have factored in the possible risks of Brexit. Companies across sectors such as banking, retail and housebuilding trade on earnings multiples that are substantially below their long-term averages.

Moreover, Brexit and wider political uncertainties are unlikely to remain as prominent

The fund’s top quartile performance over the past five years suggests that its strategy is sound. It adopts a long-term approach and invests in businesses that are capable of growing their cash flow and profitability at a faster pace than the market average.

This has contributed to the fund’s total return of 85% in the past five years, which is more than double the 37% return achieved by the Investment Association (IA) UK All Companies benchmark.

The aim of the fund is to outperform the FTSE All-Share index by at least 2% pa over rolling five-year periods. It has the capacity to invest in a range of large, medium and small companies, and aims to maintain a concentrated portfolio of between 30 and 40 stocks.

Evidence of the fund’s long-term approach can be seen in its annual turnover. It stands at

just 3%, while an ongoing charges figure (OCF) of 0.56% is lower than many of its industry peers.

Its Sharpe ratio of 0.9 over the last three years represents a top-quartile performance, and suggests that its risk-adjusted returns are attractive.

It is unsurprising that the fund has a dividend yield of just 1.45%. Among its top holdings are growth-focused businesses such as Rightmove, Ocado, Trainline, Auto Trader and Hargreaves Lansdown. Together, they contribute 29% of the portfolio and could provide capital growth over the long run.

With a bias towards sectors such as consumer services, industrials and financials, the fund offers exposure to a range of potential growth areas. The UK focus of many of its major holdings could appeal to investors who are seeking to capitalise on the domestic economy’s growth potential.

in the minds of investors, consumers and businesses in the long run as they have been in the past few years. This may cause sentiment to gradually improve, particularly if the UK’s macroeconomic outlook remains robust in terms of its unemployment levels, inflation and wage growth.

There is even the possibility of a Brexit ‘bounce’, in terms of UK shares making gains over a short time period as the economic and political risks associated with leaving the EU subside. This could occur if a new government with a working majority is able to deliver on its Brexit strategy after a three-year period following the 2016 referendum that has been dominated by discussion, as opposed to action.

As ever, political risks are highly fluid and subject to sudden change. Additionally, political uncertainty in countries such as the US, which has an election in November 2020, and China, where civil unrest in Hong Kong is ongoing, could impact on the outlook for the UK.

Alongside them, developments in trade relations between the US and China, as well as the prospects for a struggling eurozone economy, may affect UK share prices.

The valuations of UK shares suggest that, in many instances, such risks have been accounted for by an investment community that seems to be relatively sceptical about UK plc. This could increase the appeal of domestic stocks from an investment perspective.

Investment outlookBuying shares today in UK-focused companies may be considered a risky strategy by some investors. Political risks are likely to remain present over the course of 2020, and possibly beyond, as there is not yet clarity on Brexit. This could prolong a period of weak investor sentiment that causes further volatility in the share prices of

many UK-focused companies over the near term.

However, on a long-term basis, UK shares seem to be highly attractive at the moment. Their low valuations and the

resilient performance of the economy suggest that now is a good time to buy and hold them either directly, or through a range of investment trusts and funds.

group over the past three years indicates that its risk-adjusted returns are relatively appealing.

The trust’s dividend yield of 2.5% is lower than the FTSE 250’s 3% yield. An OCF of 0.87% could be attractive as a result of its past performance, while the growth prospects of UK-focused mid-cap shares could be high.

The investment trust’s total return of 128% in the past five years represents top-quartile performance.

It is substantially higher than the UK Smaller Companies benchmark’s return, with it having recorded a 72% rise in the past five years.

The company invests in smaller UK-quoted companies to obtain long-term capital growth for its shareholders. Investing in smaller companies is inherently risky, which means that the trust could experience a volatile performance compared to investments in mid and large-cap equities.

However, when its returns are taken into account alongside its risk over the past three years, a resulting Sharpe ratio of 1.25 places it in the first quartile of its peer group.

This suggests that investors who can accommodate short-term volatility may be generously rewarded by high returns in the long run.

The company’s past performance means that it now trades at a modest premium of 2% to its NAV. An OCF of 0.7% and gearing of 5% are generally in line with its sector peers. A 2% dividend yield is likely to keep pace with inflation over the medium term. However, the trust is likely to be more appealing to growth investors with a long time horizon, rather than income-seeking investors who are aiming to generate a robust dividend.

The fund invests in mid and small-cap companies which are highly cash generative and that benefit from high margins.

It focuses on businesses that have a strong market position and a sustainable competitive advantage which enables them to grow at a faster pace than the wider economy.

In addition, it seeks pragmatic management teams that have a solid plan to improve the performance of their respective companies.

The strategy has been highly successful over the past five years. The fund ranks in the first quartile of its peer group, having recorded a total return of 132%. This is above and beyond the IA UK All Companies return of 37% in the same time period.

As with many funds that focus on mid and small-cap companies, it is likely to occupy a position at the riskier end of the investment spectrum.

An exposure to technology companies amounting to 28% of the fund’s assets could further increase its volatility. This is likely to make it suitable only for long-term growth investors, while its 1% dividend yield makes it unappealing for income investors.

The fund’s investment process focuses on key areas such as balance sheet leverage, cash conversion and the breadth of a company’s customer base.

This rules out the majority of stocks within its investment universe, and allows it to focus its efforts on a smaller number of ideas from which approximately 75 companies are deemed suitable for its portfolio.

An OCF of 0.91% is relatively high compared to some of its sector peers, but the fund’s past performance suggests it is a price worth paying.

The objective of this investment trust is to outperform the FTSE 250 index through investing in mid-cap shares.

It has achieved this goal over the last five years, with the fund producing an annualised total return of 12% vs 8% for the FTSE 250.

In doing so it has delivered top-quartile performance within the IA UK All Companies sector, which has grown at an annual rate of 7% in the past five years.

The trust’s portfolio differs from its benchmark in terms of sector weightings. For example, it is underweight the industrials sector by 7.3 percentage points, while its technology exposure of 7.7% is 3.7 percentage points greater than that of the index.

Among its top holdings are JD Sports Fashion, Games Workshop and Bellway, while the majority of its holdings operate within the financials and consumer services sectors.

The company currently trades at an 8% discount to its net asset value (NAV). This suggests that it offers good value for money despite its strong performance over the past five years. Its gearing of 4.4% is modest, given that it can borrow up to 25% of its net assets.

‘There is smart money out there that sees value in the UK’The Artemis Equity Income fund is one of the largest and oldest available to private investors. What Investment went to speak to two of its fund managers, Nick Shenton and Andy Marsh, to hear their outlook for UK shares. Interview by Lawrence Gosling

through a sustainability lens, it is very apparent to us that the change in consumer behaviour, the societal belief structures, is impacting companies and the prospects for cash flow. That could be businesses that are going to have to reinvent themselves because they are making money in ways that society deems unacceptable. That could be, for example, oil majors. Are they going to have to reallocate capital into sustainable energy, green energy?

Andrew Marsh (AM): The governance is a given; the environmental and social is the evolving part of it and, for us particularly, where we can see it impacting cash flows going forward –not only from a consumer behaviour perspective, but government regulation and, indeed, cost of capital.

I was at a conference recently around hydrogen, which was fascinating. Everyone is talking about electric vehicles. Hydrogen could still be a really interesting area for heavy vehicles in particular. So those sorts of things – we talk about trying to look round the corner, those things that might

What characteristics are you looking for in a company to invest in for the fund?Nick Shenton (NS): We find ourselves constantly coming back to this perspective of characteristics because of the rate of structural change in industries, which is both a threat and an opportunity for a lot of companies.

What we are looking for overall is sustainable durable cash flow that drives the income. So the process has always been focused on cash flow, we think that is why it works through cycles as long as you stick to that process. But also you do have to evolve and iterate and think about the potential growth of the cash flow as well.

So when we look at the characteristics, it is looking for things like if the CEO were to change, would the strategy? So we are looking for companies where the strategy would not change because the company is well run and well positioned.

We look for companies passing the 10-year test, which is when we have a good idea of what the industry and what the company’s economics will look like in 10 years. And the other thing we like is we have a multi-year time horizon. We want to

see management teams that are thinking on those terms as well.

We have a question we ask ourselves: are they thinking like hired hands, tenants or owners? We want people to think about their business as being owners.

The scale of the fund clearly creates challenges around [entry and exit positions] but actually having that multi-year time horizon means you cannot really look for things that are a trading opportunity around a rerating; we have got to have something that we believe is structurally sound in the medium to long term.

Do you look for issues related to ESG?NS: Yes, I think you have to really understand the corporate culture so far as you can. Are they doing the right things just because they are the right things to do? We quite like owner operators because that gives you a bit more skin in the game.

Actually where we are thinking through a slightly different lens is more about the wider sustainability piece, and so the fund has always focused on free cash flow.

We never start with the dividend and working our way out, because that is how you get in trouble. And when we look at sustainability of cash flows

How do you look at decent yielding sectors such as utilities which have become a political football?AM: We have shied away from them, for that reason. We also think they are a good example of businesses that could have done a better job for all stakeholders, particularly customers.

It is a sector we have not been exposed to in a meaningful way over the last few years. But we have recently bought one stock in the sector: National Grid. We could see that there is a lot of discount in the price for the UK assets and the risk attached to those.

It has got a big US business so it is quite dramatically undervalued. And we actually see an opportunity for a business like National Grid to be required to invest and make a good regulatory turn on upgrading infrastructure for electrification. So we can see a structural opportunity as well for that UK asset.

And what about the banks? NS: Lloyd’s has been in the portfolio. If interest rates were higher, times could be quite different for them. We would say that they have rebuilt their capital and quite strong capital basis; the ability to return capital because they do not need much to grow, they are not really looking for much growth. But there is a political overhang.

Generally we have felt that the sector is not particularly popular with politicians in the UK, and therefore there will always be pressure on the banks in particular not to return outsize amounts to investors.

When we take the financial sector and look at insurance, it is arguable that the insurers have a stronger capital basis and less leverage, and with some structural growth opportunities.

What is the biggest change in your thinking in the last year? NS: We would come back to this point about societal shifts on climate change becoming much more front and centre. So

impact us going forward that are not necessarily investible opportunities for us today but could be broad enough to impact our companies and we try to gain some understanding.

How has the fund done in the last year? NS: If we look at how we have done and what has been driving things in the UK, we would hope that people would always be able to describe us as doing what it says on the tin, which is aiming for around 4% dividend yield that can grow at 5%. That leads to high single-digit compounding. That is what the fund has done since inception.

The numbers that we have through to the end of October 2019 are that the fund was up 17.7% to that month, against a market that was up 12.8%.

So what has driven that and what has happened with the UK market for it to be up that much this year? Well, we should highlight that while the UK market remains very much unloved by international asset allocators, private equity has been active and has been coming and bidding for UK stocks, which shows that there is probably quite smart money out there that sees value in the UK and despite the rally I think we still see value in the UK.

AM: I think it has been trade buyers that have come back to the UK market not institutional, international investors. And we think that could be the next leg back at some point. It is a really interesting backdrop as well when we look at the UK, and its valuation relative to many of its international global peers.

NS: The cost of debt is so cheap in the world; private equity can borrow at 1%, well, 2%, 3%, 4%. And when you have got stocks trading at 12x earnings, the cost of equity is 8%. So we think the portfolio is quite cheap still. Also the UK market offers reasonable value versus the rest of the world.

And as to what has driven

performance this year, a bit of a tailwind from two bids, both companies that we thought were very vulnerable to trade buyers. So a bit of good fortune, a bit of pragmatism and skill.

AM: And the process leans towards the way a private equity or a trade buyer would think about a business because we try to find businesses that have attractive market positions, so to be capitalised on finance. Good management teams, sensible capital allocation – they are all good businesses that are very attractive to trading.

The fund had two bids for its holdings in Cobham and Inmarsat.NS: A lot of the hard work that we have been doing for the past 4-6 years on understanding technology and structural change in industries has been coming through and helping performance of some stocks, such as LSE group, and Segro. And actually if you look at the top 10 holdings in the fund, one of the common denominators you would see there is that none of them are particularly structurally challenged by technological change.

‘Dividend and dividend progression are important drivers of valuation’The Artemis Income fund is unusual amongst other UK equity income funds in so much as it has three experienced fund managers looking after the portfolio of between 50 and 70 stocks. The most experienced manager is Adrian Frost (pictured below), who started his investing career nearly 40 years ago, and has worked on the fund since its launch in January 2002.

Fellow manager Nick Shenton has co-managed this fund since July 2014, having joined the company’s UK income team in the summer of 2012. He previously worked in fund management at F&C Asset Management and Polar Capital.

Andy Marsh joined the team and became a co-manager in 2018 having also managed money at Polar Capital. He has a little more experience in small and mid-cap stocks across Europe.

The benefit to investors is clear with a greater depth of experience and a broad sector/company experience and the improvement in returns from May 2017 when the fund has once again outperformed the average funds in the Investment Associations Equity Income category.

The fund is not designed to be a ‘shoot the lights’ out one, but create a steady and reliable income stream for unit holders through a spread of companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, although the fund can have up to 20% in overseas companies if the managers find suitable investments.

The fund is one of the largest in the sector and its fees is in line with many of the other active peer group funds, which are often run by only one manager. Typically the fund does not have a high turnover of investments, preferring a patient approach so as to avoid short-term trading fads that hit markets.

“For most companies, cashflow is reflected in dividend policy. So we invest in companies where dividend and dividend progression are important drivers of valuation,” said Frost.

Artemis Equity Income fund Fund size: £4,980.55m Ongoing charges figure: 0.80% Annual management charge: 0.75% Annual Income (historic): 4.45% Fund manager start date: 1 January 2002 Payment date(s): June, December

we have been thinking about this in an evolving way, we have had a steep learning curve, but we see, we recognise patterns that we saw in the technological disruption phase of the market, and we think that we can apply many of those learnings to understanding change from these societal perspectives.

The starting point is not looking for new things but figuring out what you have got that is going to be challenged. So you go through your portfolio, see what is at risk and you sell it. And we have been doing that. And then you think very carefully about where you might allocate capital in the future to replace that.

That has been quite a substantial change in our thinking because, as we say, we do see fundamental changes to cash flows in the industries as a result of rising awareness of climate change and demand for the change in behaviours from business.

What is the view of Vodafone?AM: We had reduced some of our weighting in Vodafone ahead of the dividend cut – we could see that coming post the Liberty deal.

We can see the logic for what they are doing in all their core markets but unfortunately they are having to invest quite a lot of capital to get to the point where they are going to make a sustainable and sufficient return. And that capital is being funded from quite a lot of debt at the moment. So that is a concern.

When we look at our business and the industry characteristics, we can see that potentially Vodafone could have a brighter future but there is quite a lot of risk on this side of the balance sheet .

That has led us to not add further to that position over the last 12 months. And in truth we are watching very carefully how things are developing and emerging particularly around things like 5G and some of the

spectrum auctions that are coming that could require more capital to be consumed by that business at this juncture.

And BT? AM: I think we would have rather they had gone down the route of becoming a core infrastructure provider before now. We think, again, we are going to wait and see what the strategy is around fibre investment but the market is anticipating some sort of dividend cut as a result, so again, we have been reducing that position over the last 12-18 months.

Supermarkets?NS: We own Tesco – it is one of our larger positions, about 3.5%

of the fund. We think Tesco have a competitive advantage versus the market. And that is down to their scale. They feed almost one-in-three people in the UK.

They have made some very good strategic decisions in recent years, most notably acquiring Booker, which has given them more growth and make them channel agnostic. Whether people eat at home, or eat out in a restaurant, Tesco have them covered.

And they have a greater focus on cash flow than they have had before. The dividend has been growing extremely strongly and the valuation is attractive, so that it is around 4% dividend yield with scope to increase that over time through special dividends. WI

Investment strategyA discplined, bottom-up process with a focus on quality companiesANW is managed by Aberdeen Standard Investment’s well-resourced Asian team which consists of over 40 equity investment professionals in the region, including three Thailand specialists, based in Bangkok. The manager follows a disciplined bottom-up investment process to identify quality companies that are mispriced relative to their long-term intrinsic value.

The team supports an intensive schedule of meetings with managements to enable in-depth knowledge of companies and detailed fundamental analysis. It believes the market often underestimates the sustainability of returns from high-quality companies. The team evaluates firms on multiple criteria, including management pedigree and track record of capital allocation, sustainable competitive advantages, balance sheet strength, and environment, social and governance (ESG) credentials. The manager believes that ESG factors are financially material, and have an impact on corporate performance, and that its engagement with companies enhances the value of its investments for shareholders.

Following a board review in May 2018, in consultation with the manager, the trust is permitted to invest up to 10% of NAV in unlisted companies which have visible plans for initial public listing (IPO). Gearing is permitted up to 15% of NAV. As at end-September 2019, the portfolio had 1.5% in unlisted equities and had net gearing of 4.3%.

unlisted companies, which have visible plans to list.

The portfolio is typically very different from its SET Index benchmark, and historically has had a high active share of over 75%. As a result, the trust’s performance can diverge significantly from the benchmark.

PerformanceANW has delivered strong long-term performance to shareholders; over 10 years to end-September 2019, the trust’s annualised NAV and share price total returns have increased 15.4% and 16.3%, respectively.

The trust has also outperformed the MSCI Asia ex-Japan index over one and three years, and by a significant margin over 10 years.

However, ANW’s NAV performance has lagged the SET Index benchmark over all periods shown.

This partly reflects the portfolio’s consistent underweight (or zero exposure) to many of the largest stocks in the benchmark, owing to factors such as the manager’s negative view on a company’s corporate governance track record, and the tendency to find better investment opportunities in less well-researched mid- and small-cap companies.

The high tracking error against the benchmark means the trust’s performance can diverge meaningfully from the index

ANW currently trades at a 14.2% discount to its cum-income NAV, which is slightly narrower than its three-year average of 14.8%. The board actively monitors the discount and has the authority (renewed annually) to selectively repurchase shares if this is deemed to be in the best interest of shareholders.

It introduced a number of measures in May 2018 aimed at broadening the appeal of the trust, and tightening the discount. These included permitting the fund to invest

www.whatinvestment.co.uk WhatInvestment January 2020 37

in unlisted companies ahead of an IPO, a reduction in the management fee and the introduction of an interim dividend.

ANW does not have a fixed life, however, if in the 12 weeks preceding its year end, the

shares have been trading at an average discount in excess of 15% to the cum-income NAV, a special resolution to wind up the company will be proposed at the following AGM.

The managers’ viewShort-term challenge, long-term promise The team thinks the near-term outlook for the Thai economy remains challenging given the weakness of the export sector, while relatively high levels of household debt, which stand at nearly 80% of GDP, hampers private consumption. However, it believes ANW’s holdings should be relatively resilient in uncertain conditions, given their high-quality characteristics.

Furthermore, the team also believes the government is likely to introduce more stimulus measures to help stabilise the economy. The new government’s budget should be revealed over the coming months and the team expects infrastructure spending to continue to be an area of focus, highlighting the Bank of Thailand (BoT) forecast of a public investment increase of 6.3% in 2020 (following a 2.5% forecast for 2019).

The manager noted that the return of General Prayut Chan-O-Cha as prime minister signals the continuation of business-friendly government policies. His previous government articulated Thailand’s current 20-year vision, which includes significant investment in infrastructure, digital technology and healthcare.

The team believes ANW is also an excellent play on the Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV) region. It is growing faster than Thailand and has a population of ca 165 million people, offering Thai companies a large and underpenetrated market for their goods and services.

Access for foreign equity investors to CLMV is limited, but many of the ANW’s companies have a significant and growing exposure to the opportunities in these countries. Examples cited by the manager include AEON Thana Sinsap, TOA Paint, Mega Life and Osotspa, which already have CLMV revenues of between 10-30%.

In its view, Thai companies can represent excellent proxies to investing directly in these countries, given their superior access to capital markets, longer-established brands and better corporate governance.

Looking longer term, Thailand’s economy is slowing, which partly reflects cyclical factors but also the impact of the US-China trade dispute, which has tipped the world into a trade recession. Exports, which account for around two-thirds of Thailand’s GDP, have been contracting and drought has contributed to weak domestic consumption.

Thailand’s Q2 2019 GDP growth of 2.3% year-on-year was the slowest in nearly five years and the BoT has lowered its GDP forecast for 2019 to 3.3%. It cut interest rates this August, while signalling further potential cuts in 2020. The BoT also approved a THB316bn (ca £7.5bn) stimulus package, aimed at boosting consumption and tourism.

Measures include debt relief and loans for drought-affected farmers, an extended free visa-on-arrival provision for several countries for a further six months, and spending money and rebates for domestic tourists who travel outside their home provinces.

Thai equities are not obviously inexpensive. Their mid-teens forward p/e multiple, however, is not demanding relative to other developing Asian markets, excluding China. Geopolitical developments are likely to continue to influence Thailand’s near-term economic and equity market outlook; however, prospects for the longer-term remain positive and over the past 10 years, Thai equities have significantly outperformed Asia and global markets.

The Thai economy benefits from a number of positive secular trends, including urbanisation and rising incomes. Thai companies are also well-positioned to benefit from the rapid development of its CLMV neighbours, which are growing significantly faster than Thailand.

The managers’ viewQuality focus in the face of uncertaintyFund manager David Smith acknowledges that we are late in the economic cycle and there is clear evidence of slowing growth. In the face of this, the portfolio has been made more defensive and there is a bias to quality within the portfolio.

Brexit has clearly overshadowed the UK market to the extent that it may have become oversold. Smith points out that the passing of the ‘Benn Act’ lessened the threat of a ‘no-deal’ Brexit and this triggered a rally in more domestic-focused UK stocks. These received further support in mid-October when hints of a deal started to emerge. Sterling’s strength is closely related to the threat of a ‘no-deal’ exit and this impacts on the valuations of stocks with overseas earnings.

In the face of this uncertainty, Smith has been focusing on companies whose earnings are likely to be less affected by whatever happens on the Brexit front. Smith feels that a Corbyn-led government may pose a greater threat to sentiment than the prospect of a ‘no-deal’ Brexit, and this is another reason to try to focus on quality and income sustainability, while seeking to balance the portfolio between domestic and overseas earners.

The portfolio has some exposure to industries such as oil and tobacco, which are out of favour with some investors on environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) grounds, but nonetheless are still generating strong cash flows. Good governance is an essential requisite for stocks being considered for inclusion within the portfolio and Smith also considers environmental and social factors when assess companies. While a company operating in a contentious industry is not blocked, however, Smith seeks to understand the company’s policy to ESG risk factors and how they manage them. As with managing a business’s operational and financial risks, those companies with good processes towards managing ESG risk factors generally outperform. Janus Henderson uses a number of third party ESG research providers along with an internal dedicated team to help Smith analyse company specific ESG risks and rate their policies and processes relative to their peers. Those companies that score poorly are avoided while companies that only have an average rating can be owned but are actively engaged with.

The investment approach emphasises the importance of diversification within the portfolio. The mid-cap stocks within HHI tend to offer greater prospect of dividend growth than the big defensive companies, whose businesses are less sensitive to changes in economic conditions, that are the mainstay of most UK equity income funds. The income boost from the bond portfolio affords the opportunity to include these within the mix.

The managers of the bond portfolio are convinced that the world is mired in low growth and low inflation, for the foreseeable future. When yields were rising in the second half of 2018, Smith was allocating more money to this part of the portfolio and that decision has helped both the revenue account and the trust’s performance in 2019.

Strong outperformance in 2015 was reversed in 2016, as investors became more focused on ‘growth’ stocks, and HHI’s domestically-focused portfolio was impacted by the Brexit referendum.

In the face of these headwinds, the manager has been able to claw back some outperformance of the benchmark. This is reflected in its cumulative performance numbers where HHI is now

ahead of the benchmark over 3 month to 5 year time periods.

Greene King was the subject of a £4.6bn recommended cash offer by a vehicle controlled by Li Ka-Shing. Shareholders approved the offer on 9 October 2019.

Relative to the wider UK market, it was helpful that HHI was underweight HSBC and Glencore, but not holding London Stock Exchange (LSE) held back returns. The LSE was the subject of a failed approach by Hong Kong stock exchange, but it is the company’s prospective tie-up with data provider Refinitiv that has driven its share price higher.

Intermediate Capital Group has been delivering strong growth in assets under management. Its dividend was upped by 50% year-on-year. Phoenix Group has been rebounding this year from poor performance in the second half of 2018. The company bought the Standard Life Assurance business in a deal that concluded at the end of August 2018. Its interim results statement, released in August 2019, suggested that the integration of the two businesses was going well.

On the downside, Imperial Brands has been hit by increased regulatory uncertainty surrounding is vaping business and, perhaps, the growth of ESG investing. Ted Baker was impacted by the loss of its founder and deteriorating profitability, which culminated in October with a profit warning.

BT has a sizeable investment programme to fund, and there were concerns that this might put pressure on its dividend. Its share price has recovered since the end of September as those fears were allayed. Chesnara’s shares slid over the summer. Interest rate cuts weighed on financials generally but a High Court judgement that blocked the transfer of annuities from Prudential to Rothesay Life called into question Chesnara’s ability to grow through acquisition.

Investment strategyFundamentals, financials and valuationLead fund manager David Smith is responsible for stock selection in the equity portfolio, asset allocating between bonds and equities and setting the day-to-day level of gearing. The split between bonds and equities in the portfolio varies, but is typically 20:80. The bond portfolio will usually be funded in whole or in part by gearing and the margin achieved on the bond portfolio supplements the income account and allows HHI to hold lower yielding, and higher dividend growth equities, without compromising the trust’s dividend paying ability. The bond portfolio is managed by John Pattullo and Jenna Barnard, part of a five-strong Strategic Fixed Income team. They are supported by Janus Henderson’s wider fixed-income team.

Within the global equity income team, each manager has a good deal of autonomy and are accountable for the performance of their funds. The managers on the team are generalists, and get to know investee companies directly rather than relying on analysts’ views. That said, there is considerable proprietary research available to Smith – regular meetings and a centralised system enable the sharing of research across the whole group, including the analysts based in the US.

For inclusion within HHI’s portfolio, each stock has to pass muster on each of three criteria – fundamentals, financials and valuation. If a stock fails on one criterion, it will be excluded from the portfolio.

• Fundamentals – the process places strong emphasis on companies that display market leadership, good visibility of earnings, strong franchises, proven management and robust defensible business models with high barriers to entry that cannot be disintermediated.

• Financials – companies with the fundamental characteristics outlined above should also demonstrate sustainable returns. Smith is also looking for cash generative companies with robust balance sheets; that have invested in their businesses; have a sustainable dividend policy – the payment of dividends should not compromise investment in the business; and where management’s interests are aligned with shareholders.

• Valuation – companies should be paying dividends and offer the prospect of dividend growth. They should be valued at a discount to Smith’s estimation of their fair value, offering upside in absolute terms, and attractively valued relative to their peers. The valuation should also be underpinned in some way, for example, by realisable assets so that the downside is limited. Smith aims to own companies for the long-term. He looks two-to-three years out when valuing businesses.

Smith believes that there is a sweet spot for equity income investors of companies offering yields between about 2% and 6%. Within this range, companies tend to offer a good combination of yield and dividend growth. Above this level, it is more common to see dividend cuts/omissions and stocks that fall into value traps.

To achieve a balanced portfolio, Smith focuses on three types of stock: stable growth companies that can provide good dividend growth through a cycle, such as Relx and Diageo; high yielders that provide a good base level of stable, predictable income, such as GlaxoSmithKline and National Grid; and quality cyclicals that provide strong dividend growth during economic upswings but given their quality nature can still pay and maybe grow their dividend in more challenging times, such as Whitbread and Victrex. Utilising gearing and owning bonds to boost income means HHI can own lower yielding companies that offer more dividend growth, typically those stable growth companies and quality cyclicals.

Seneca Global Income & Growth TrustPrice 174.5pNAV* 171.1pPremium to NAV 2.0%NAV† 173.3pPremium to NAV 0.7%Dividend yield 5.5%*Excluding income. †Including income. As at 22 November 2019.

F ounded as the Taverners Trust and initially managed by Aberdeen

Asset Management, the trust became the Midas Income & Growth Trust in August 2005. In March 2014, the fund’s investment manager was purchased by Seneca Asset Managers. The fund management business was renamed Seneca Investment Managers (SIML) and the trust itself was renamed Seneca Global Income & Growth Trust (SIGT), highlighting its diverse mandate.

SIML is a multi-asset specialist, with a focus on value, with ca £700m of assets under management. The investment process is transparent and team-based, and the portfolio holdings are straightforward. One of the benefits of the multi-asset strategy is that it should provide lower volatility of returns compared with an equity-only portfolio, while it offers the potential for reasonable returns over the medium to long term.

Prior to July 2017, SIGT’s benchmark was Libor +3% pa. Since then it has aimed to generate a total annual return of at least CPI +6% after costs, with low volatility, over the course of a typical investment cycle. This is defined as a five- to 10-year period, in which returns from various asset classes are generally in line with their very long-term averages.

SIGT also aims to grow its annual dividend at least in line with UK inflation. SIML believes that SIGT’s investment objective can be achieved using a combination of strategic asset allocation, tactical asset allocation and investing in undervalued assets, while employing a modest level of gearing. Inevitably, there

Seneca Global Income & Growth TrustMulti-asset value investing

will be periods when SIGT’s performance underperforms the benchmark; however, the manager believes it can achieve the trust’s investment objective over the course of a typical investment cycle.

Within SIGT’s multi-asset portfolio are UK (primarily direct investments, or funds with the board’s approval) and overseas equities (funds), fixed income securities (direct or funds), specialist assets (infrastructure, specialist financial, property and private equity funds), and cash/managed liquidity/physical gold.

Performance In FY 2019 (ending 30 April), SIGT’s NAV and share price total returns of +7.6% and +6.0% trailed the benchmark’s +8.2% total return. FY 2019 NAV performance was significantly boosted by the IPO of former private company AJ Bell. Detractors from performance were an overweight exposure to UK equities, along with no exposure to US equities and safe-haven government bonds.

The manager considers these two asset classes to be particularly overvalued, hence they are not represented in the fund. In terms of holding-specific attribution, AJ Bell contributed 8.6pp, while Kier

Group was the largest detractor (-1.1pp).

SIGT has outperformed its benchmark over one and five years and since the change in mandate in January 2012, while lagging over three years. The trust has outperformed the FTSE All-Share index over one, three and five years and since the change of mandate.

Fund manager Gary Moglione explained that over the last six months, SIGT has struggled vs its benchmark and peers as growth stocks have significantly outperformed value names. There have also been stock-specific issues such as Kier Group and Woodford Patient Capital Trust, both of which remain in the portfolio. Kier is seeking to sell its house building arm, Kier Living, in order to reduce debt.

Moglione believes that Kier Living is a saleable asset, and a transaction could occur by the end of 2019, which could lead to a material uplift in Kier’s share price. The manager believes that the appointment of Schroders as the manager of Woodford Patient Capital Trust is a welcome development, and he is encouraged by its new fee structure. Given the trust’s deep discount, Moglione believes there

42 WhatInvestment January 2020 www.whatinvestment.co.uk

Investment Trust Reports>|

is significant upside potential if the fund is managed well.

The manager noted how well SIGT performed in September, when there were increased hopes of a Brexit resolution and value stocks rallied significantly as sterling strengthened. He argued that the valuation disparity between growth and value

strategies had become too wide, and there are signs of a change in investor mentality.

Moglione views September as an early warning sign for growth investors, and believes that market leadership in the future will switch in favour of value stocks.

SIGT aims to generate relatively

low-volatility returns. Data from SIML show that since the change in mandate to end-October 2019, the trust’s annualised volatility of returns is 8.3%, vs an average 11.3% for the AIC Flexible Investment sector and 13.1% for the FTSE All-Share index.

Investment strategyAn overriding focus on valueSIML’s managers have an overriding focus on value. They select high-quality investments across a range of asset classes, aiming to generate aggregate returns in excess of CPI +6% pa over the course of a typical investment cycle. The investment team utilises a long-term strategic asset allocation (SAA), with a shorter-term tactical asset allocation (TAA). The SAA is based on the assumption that future long-term returns of individual asset classes will be comparable to their historical long-term returns, while the TAA takes account of how different asset classes typically perform at each stage of the business cycle (expansion, peak, recession and recovery). In order to determine the stage of the business cycle, the managers assess economic indicators such as yield curves, inflation and unemployment. SIML has a team-based investment approach and all portfolio changes are agreed before implementation, which acts as an effective risk control. Each asset class and portfolio holding has a target weighting, and while actual portfolio exposures may vary modestly from these targets, all variances are closely monitored.

SIGT’s largest exposure is to UK equities, where holdings tend to be direct, chosen with a focus on profit and dividend capacity; the majority are mid-cap companies. The manager explained that smaller companies have outperformed large-cap firms in recent decades due to their superior growth potential; they can be under-researched and provide opportunities to invest in mispriced securities. Overseas equity exposure is via collective investments, focusing on benchmark-agnostic, niche managers with high active shares. Fixed income investments (direct and funds) focus on capital preservation and yield, while specialist assets (funds) offer exposure to real assets, and the potential to lower portfolio volatility while enhancing returns.

SIGT has a diverse income stream from UK equities (yielding ca 5.0%), overseas equities (yielding ca 4.5%), fixed income (yielding ca 6.5%), specialist assets (yielding ca 6.0%), and cash and managed liquidity (yielding ca 1.0%).

SIGT’s tactical positioning reflects where the manager sees relative value. As at the end of October, the positioning was similar to end-April 2019. The equity TAA was 8.5pp below the SAA (-5.5pp in the UK and -3.0pp overseas). SIGT has no US equity exposure; the last American holding was sold in August 2017. The trust is underweight fixed income (-2.3pp), with no exposure to safe-haven government debt; overweight specialist assets (+2.8pp); and has a +8.0pp TAA to cash, managed liquidity and physical gold.

The managers’ viewPositioned for higher interest rates Fund manager Gary Moglione said that there has been no real change in the macro environment over the last few months. He believes that we are coming towards the end of a prolonged bull market and valuations are extended in most asset classes. The manager suggested that unemployment may be reaching a trough, having declined over a number of years, and noted that purchasing managers indices are weakening across the board. Against this economic backdrop, he stressed the importance of de-risking SIGT’s portfolio. The fund’s equity exposure has been reduced steadily since mid-2017 at a rate of around 1pp per quarter. While there was no reduction in SIGT’s equity TAA in Q319, there is room to further reduce the trust’s equity exposure in the future if deemed appropriate. The last equity asset allocation change was at the end of June 2019, when European and Japanese equity exposures were each reduced by 0.5pp, with 1.0pp added to SIGT’s physical gold position.

Moglione explained that over the long term, there is a high correlation between equity markets and bond yields, and as bond yields rise over time from their current very low levels, he would expect the stock market to come under pressure. His expectation is for market weakness ahead of a global recession in late 2020/early 2021. The manager argued that an environment of rising rates should favour SIGT’s value style. The trust’s relative performance has suffered in 2019 as the growth style has continued to outperform value strategies; this was particularly evident between April and September. A turnaround in US monetary policy, with the Federal Reserve becoming more dovish, has been unhelpful for SIGT’s value focus; however, while markets undergo short-term periods of volatility in response to changing interest rate expectations, Moglione said the broad structure of the trust’s portfolio will remain unchanged. He noted with interest that in the UK, the Brexit overhang is presenting opportunities.

Moglione said there is a very wide disparity in company valuations between those with overseas earnings – in aggregate, trading on a forward p/e multiple of ca 21x – and those with domestic earnings – forward p/e of ca 8x. Within the portfolio, exposure to more expensive names has been reduced, with capital redeployed into low-valued companies with domestic operations. Moglione explained that historically, within the UK, SIGT’s exposure was typically 60:40 between domestic and overseas earners; there is now a higher percentage allocated to domestic earners given compelling valuations. He noted that some of these attractively valued companies are offering well-covered dividend yields of 5-8%.

Vietnam Enterprise Investments (VEIL) is the largest and longest-

established listed fund focused on Vietnamese equities. It was launched by Dragon Capital in August 1995 as a closed-ended fund, incorporated in the Cayman Islands, and was originally listed on the Irish Stock Exchange.

In July 2016, it de-listed from the Irish Stock Exchange and was admitted to the main market of the London Stock Exchange; it has been included in the FTSE 250 Index since July 2017.

VEIL’s investment objective is to deliver long-term capital growth.

It aims to outperform the Vietnam Stock Index (VN Index) on a rolling three-year basis by employing a rigorous fundamental investment

approach that is unconstrained by benchmark considerations.

The portfolio is relatively concentrated, with 35-40

holdings representing the manager’s highest-conviction investment ideas.

Most of its companies are listed on one of Vietnam’s three exchanges: the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HSX), the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) and the Unlisted Public Companies Market (UPCoM), an exchange for newly listed state-owned companies, which must transfer to either the HSX or HNX within one year.

VEIL is permitted to invest in unlisted companies, although these tend to be those with visible plans for listing in the near term.

Performance VEIL has a solid track record for medium- and long-term NAV total return and share price performance, outperforming the VN Index over three, five and 10 years. Over these periods, VEIL has also significantly outperformed the VN30 and MSCI Emerging Markets indices.

The managers’ viewOutstanding opportunitiesLead portfolio manager Vu Huu Dien believes Vietnam has many positive investment characteristics that make it a particularly attractive market for the long-term equity investor. These include social and political stability, and a well-managed economy that is fast-growing, yet with manageable inflation and a stable currency. In his view, its economic prospects are underpinned by a number of structural factors, such as a growing working-age population, urbanisation and rising consumption.

Vietnam has a population of around 97 million and Dien noted the country adds around one million new entrants into the workforce each year, helped by a culture of gender equality, which results in high female participation. He believes Vietnam’s demographic profile, with a median age of 31 years, to be attractive: young enough to be economically active, yet at the point of generating disposable income.

Dien argued that the risks to Vietnam’s outlook are likely to be externally driven, including the US-China trade dispute and protests in Hong Kong, which may further aggravate the relationship between these two economic giants. These international issues have a global impact, but Vietnam has been a relatively safe haven so far. Dien thinks it unlikely that the US will target Vietnam on trade issues despite its rising trade surplus. He believes the size of Vietnam’s trade with the US, while growing, is insufficiently significant for it to be targeted, and that the country represents a geopolitical counterbalance to China’s ambitions in the region.

Dien also expects that, should the US take issue with Vietnam on trade, its government is likely to prefer a path of co-operation rather than retaliation, which should militate against an economically damaging outcome. He noted that the Vietnam stock market largely reflects the domestic economy, and relatively few export-oriented companies are listed. The manager believes Vietnamese equities to be attractively valued, and is finding plenty of long-term opportunities. Dragon Capital’s research team monitors its own universe of 60 stocks (covering ca 75% of the market), which is currently trading on a forward 2020 p/e multiple of ca 11x, based on the team’s expectations for 18% EPS growth.

Investment strategyA rigorous fundamental process to identify well-managed companiesVEIL follows a disciplined bottom-up investment process to find well-managed companies with sustainable growth that trade on reasonable valuations. It has a well-resourced investment team of three portfolio managers, led by Vu Huu Dien, who are supported by 10 sector specialist analysts.

Around 1,600 stocks are screened by quality, size and liquidity criteria, which results in a universe of around 135 stocks that are subject to in-depth analysis. Key components of the process include getting to know the managements of companies, evaluating financials and determining the intrinsic value of the business.

Assessment of a company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards is integrated into the investment process, and Dragon Capital’s reputation and size help facilitate effective engagement with managements. Dragon Capital is a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), which has awarded the group high A+ and A ratings.

The manager is not constrained by index considerations and the portfolio typically holds 35-40 stocks, representing his highest-conviction, long-term investment ideas. The portfolio is materially different from the benchmark VN Index, which means its performance can diverge meaningfully.

The manager is focused on key domestic themes of rising income, the growth of the middle class and urbanisation, and over two-thirds of the portfolio is invested in the real estate, banks and retail sectors.

The most significant sector change over the past year is a 7pp increase to real estate, which accounts for 31.4% of VEIL’s portfolio. This largely reflects the additions to the position in Vinhomes after participating in its IPO in May 2018. As at end-October 2019, Vinhomes was the second largest holding in the portfolio, at 7.7% of NAV. The company is Vietnam’s leading property developer, focused on the mid- to high-end segment of the market.

The manager believes Vinhomes is very well placed for growth over the next few years, with around 40% share of the premium residential sales market and a vast land bank, which at some 20 times the size of its next largest competitor, in Dien’s view, should be sufficient for around 15 years of development.

VEIL’s exposure to the retail sector increased by 4pp over the past year, reflecting an addition to Vincom Retail and strong performance from holdings including Mobile World, the portfolio’s largest stock (11.2% as at end-October 2019). Investors had been sceptical about Mobile World’s diversification into food stores, giving the manager the opportunity to accumulate shares at weaker levels. The company’s businesses, however, have continued to be strong, and it recently announced eight-month results, reporting a 37% increase in post-tax profits.

The manager also initiated a position in Vingroup, the parent company of Vinhomes and Vincom Retail. Vingroup is a large conglomerate with a broad range of businesses. In the past, Dien has been reluctant to invest in this company in view of a lack of transparency in its underlying operations. This has improved significantly with the listing of Vinhomes and Vincom Retail, and the manager believes there may be further listings in the pipeline, which would also help unlock value in the company.

He thinks the group’s supermarkets and convenience store business, VinMart, may be a potential IPO candidate following a US$500m investment in the company by Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, GIC. Dien notes that the transaction implied a valuation higher than that of Mobile World, Vietnam’s largest retailer.

Sales over the past 12 months to end-October 2019 included the long-held position in low-cost airline VietJet. The company has performed well since it launched its services in 2011. Operating in an oligopoly environment, it increased its share to ca 45% of the passenger aviation market. Two new operators are set to enter the low-cost air travel market this year, and the manager believes intensifying competition will create a more challenging environment, potentially depressing profitability.

He has also disposed of power generation company PV Power, which VEIL had held prior to its listing, benefiting from the stock’s re-rating when it transferred from UPCoM to the HSX in January 2019. The manager thinks the outlook for profitability has deteriorated, with pressure on tariffs from the government, as well as rising input prices. Over the past year to end-October 2019, VEIL also took profits from several positions that have outperformed, including in Vietnam Engine and Agricultural Machinery (VEAM) and Saigon Beer.

I have been running Japanese equity portfolios for both domestic and overseas clients since 2000. What first brought me to Japan in the early 1990s was a deep interest in understanding how differently companies are run here compared with the West. Above all, I am interested in finding out what makes a business model and company successful, which in turn is what stands to make it a good potential investment.

I have always said that if you turn over enough stones in Japan, you will find some pearls, particularly among small and mid-cap companies. Around 90% of Japanese companies in this segment tend to get little or no coverage from sell-side analysts and that is where being on-the-ground in Japan has huge advantages when picking stocks.

Investment philosophyFundamental research can help to uncover and take advantage of market inefficiencies and add value to clients’ portfolios. The prospects of individual companies and their comparative valuations can be predicted with a greater degree of accuracy than macroeconomic themes and factors, hence stock selection provides the best opportunity to capture added value.

My ‘growth at reasonable price’ approach utilises Fidelity’s local research capability as well as its broader global research network. We have a team of 13 equity

analysts* on the ground in Japan, and with them, I typically make around 350 company visits every year, doing traditional ‘bottom-up’ research. I also conduct my own research, looking for under-covered names using multiple information sources, including venture capital companies, recent IPOs, regulators, professors, and non-listed companies. I closely examine a company’s business model, particularly its sustainability and the barriers to entry, followed by valuations, liquidity and the potential upside against the downside.

Understanding the businesses in which I invest involves talking to management, customers, vendors and both local and regional competitors using our on-the-ground research network in Asia.

I also recognise that one cannot be continually right with every investment decision. That means locking in performance gains when things are going your way and maintaining a strong sell discipline, trimming outperformers and recycling the proceeds into new ideas, retesting a mid-term growth thesis for signs of change and moving on if there are more attractive opportunities elsewhere.

OutlookIn terms of recent market moves, Japanese equities have faced multiple headwinds as uncertainty over US-China trade frictions and the impact of the

global economy have clouded the outlook for corporate earnings. But looking beyond the macro challenges that are familiar to most market participants, we see some attractive opportunities in Japan’s technology sector, where selected companies are ideally positioned to take advantage of the structural changes underway.

In particular, as we look ahead to 2020 we expect a re-acceleration of demand for memory semiconductors, driven by content growth from the global rollout of fifth-generation (5G) smartphones as well as a recovery in spending by data centres. Memory supply/demand will tighten as new capacity additions were controlled over the past one to two years. We are also looking at globally competitive companies that are well positioned to capture the structural growth in automotive semiconductors.

The technology sector is a good example of how the trust aims to benefit from investing in the more dynamic sectors of Japan’s economy, focusing on fast growing but attractively valued stocks. There are also plenty of opportunities to discover pearls in the medtech and dynamic internet services sectors. With an acute understanding of this unique region and economy, combined with our hands-on local research, we are able to hone in on stocks often not picked out by others.

Technology & Media was the top-performing investment company

sector over the year to 30 November, data from the Association of Investment Companies (AIC) can reveal. The sector produced an impressive return of 34% over the year so far, compared to the average investment company return of 14% over the same period.

As interest in sustainable investing continues to rise, companies in the Environmental sector delivered the second-highest return of 30%. Placed third and fourth, the UK All Companies and UK Smaller Companies sectors also delivered impressive returns, 27% and 26% respectively, showing that the UK has been a rewarding region for investors during a time of intense political uncertainty.

Annabel Brodie-Smith, communications director of the Association of Investment Companies (AIC), said: “Political uncertainty, trade wars and worries about an economic slowdown have been on investors’ minds all year. So it is good to see the average investment company delivering a healthy 14% return.

 “Despite the lack of clarity surrounding Brexit, the UK sectors have delivered strong returns. And as more investors have become interested in ESG investing, it is encouraging that the Environmental sector has performed well, with a return of 30% since January.

 “Although it is always interesting to look back at the best performing companies at the end of the year, it is important to remember that investing should be for the long term and past performance is not an indicator of future returns. Investors need a balanced portfolio and the investment company industry offers a broad variety of sectors, regions and risk profiles to match these needs.

Investors should also consider their objectives and the level of risk they are willing to take when looking at potential investments and, if they have any concerns, should speak to a financial adviser.”

The top performersThe 10 best-performing AIC member investment companies came from a variety of sectors,

but companies in the UK Smaller Companies sector featured most prominently, making four appearances among the top ten.

 BlackRock Throgmorton Trust was the best-performing member company over the year. The company from the UK Smaller Companies sector produced a chart-topping 49% share price total return from

F or the last three years, investors have been paid handsomely to

avoid UK equities; however, the general election offers a chance to make UK plc more investible and remove one of the many clouds of uncertainty that hang over it.

While Brexit will dominate the headlines for years to come, the possibility of a political majority should help reassure businesses and investors that the discount on UK plc is too wide.

We have unpacked the UK investment trust sector and shortlisted names that can help investors rebalance portfolios towards this domestic value.

Over the last three years, sterling has been the pressure valve for UK risk and has been an indicator of sentiment for a variety of Brexit scenarios.

We used a purely quantitative approach to analyse the latest available portfolios and run both sterling correlations and sub-sector analysis.

Portfolio correlation to sterling We selected the 33 most liquid trusts across the three AIC UK sectors (UK All Companies, UK Equity Income and UK Smaller Companies). For each trust we used the latest available portfolio (typically within the last three months) and analysed the 12-month correlation between the movement of each underlying

stock position (over and above market beta) and the movements of sterling. The weighted average is adjusted for net cash or gearing to provide a final number (that

can range between +100% and -100%).

To help interpret the movements shown in the sterling correlation charts thus generated, we ran the same analysis for every stock in the FTSE All-Share and FTSE AIM All-Share, as well as any overseas stocks

owned by UK equity investment trusts.

The sub-sectors that showed the highest correlation to sterling were banks, life insurance, construction, real estate and retailers. Conversely, those sub-sectors that were most negatively correlated were beverages, telecom services (due to high overseas holdings), leisure goods, precious metals and mining.

The comparison goes beyond AIC sector boundaries, eg the current Henderson Smaller Companies portfolio has historically shown greater correlation to sterling than the Schroder UK Mid Cap.

From this study the clear winners are Aurora, Henderson Smaller Companies and Temple Bar; whereas Finsbury Growth & Income and Troy Income & Growth would be inversely correlated.

1 January to 30 November. It was closely followed by UIL in the Flexible Investment sector, up 48%, and JPMorgan Russian Securities up 47, over the same period.

 Dan Whitestone, Manager of BlackRock Throgmorton Trust, said: “As we have long argued, stock and industry specific outcomes can triumph over the volatility created by macro, political and economic events.

“This certainly held true in 2019, which has been a strong year for the trust in absolute and relative terms, aided by positive contributions from both long and short positions.

“The management teams of the companies the trust invests in have played a key part in helping deliver value and wealth creation for shareholders, not just this year but over the course of many years.

Whitestone continued: “The premium for genuine secular growth is high, as we remain within an era of low inflation, low interest rates and weaker growth. However, we see many companies with solid business models, that have enormous growth potential, are all too often dismissed by the market as expensive.

“Conversely, many so-called value shares are under significant pressure from the structural changes wrought by technological disruption, resulting in fundamental changes in distribution, manufacturing and customer behaviour.

 “Throgmorton aims to identify and own, for the long term, the exciting, fast-growing companies that we believe are truly differentiated and disruptive and taking full advantage of the structural changes reshaping industries. Our belief is that the stock market persistently undervalues these companies, which have strong balance sheets, and have been able to heavily invest ahead of their peers.”

S avers have struggled to get decent interest rate returns for too long it

seems. Savings should be a good source of income but are failing most savers. Other options for income are clearly bonds that pay returns or stocks and shares that do. Not all do, of course, because not all pay dividends.

The reasons for how and why individuals seek income are myriad and, of course, personal to each investor. Arguably the ways in which one accesses income are equally varied with many funds purporting to do so on the market.

On the next page are five ISA fund recommendations for those seeking income within their ISA portfolio, courtesy of financial planner Patrick Connolly at IFAs Chase de Vere. But first, what should investors consider when, broadly, they are looking for income?

Fund manager viewsAlan Dobbie, fund manager at Rathbone Income fund, which features in Connolly’s five income fund recommendations, said: “Equity income investing is about much more than just

buying stocks trading on high dividend yields. To create a secure long-term income stream, you must consider a company’s dividend alongside its ability and willingness to pay.

“Willingness and ability are often two very different things. Furthermore, persistent inflation can eat away at the purchasing power of a dividend stream over time, so you need to find businesses that can grow their dividend by at least inflation.”

One can usually struggle to find a benefit from the fiasco of the UK leaving the EU but there are some positives of the situation we find ourselves in.

“Brexit uncertainty has pushed the dividend yield on the FTSE All-Share towards a multi-year high, creating opportunities for income investors,” added Dobbie.

“While lacklustre share price performance over recent years is partly responsible for this, you should not underestimate the boost that a weaker pound has given to the profits – and dividends – of the multinational-heavy FTSE All-Share.”

However, Dobbie warned: “Looking forward, a key risk to UK dividends is that any clarity

over Brexit could cause Sterling to rally. That would pressure the security and growth potential of many UK dividends which are overwhelmingly backed by overseas earnings.

“We are alert to this risk, ensuring that our portfolio contains a diverse mix of stocks, with well-covered dividends and good growth potential.”

Forecast for 2020In terms of what to look for in 2020, according to Dan Roberts, portfolio manager on the Fidelity Global Dividend fund, which focuses on stocks that provide secure income and offer the prospect of dividend growth, there are three important risks that equity investors will need to navigate:• Valuations are significantly

above long-term averages;• Levels of corporate profitability

are very high vs history; and • Corporate balance sheets

looking stretched.

Patrick Connolly, head of communications at Chase de Vere selects top five funds that will generate income for your ISA portfolio.

 

1. Rathbone Income. This fund has an experienced

investment manager in Carl Stick, who is the longest serving manager of the same equity income fund, and he focuses on delivering a sustainable income, which is currently 4.4%, along with some capital growth by investing in UK shares.

The manager aims to invest in high quality companies at a sensible price. It has strong risk controls and puts a big focus on not losing investors’ money and giving them a pay rise each year by way of increasing dividend pay-outs.

 

2. Fidelity Global Dividend. This fund is an ideal core

holding which achieves a good balance between risk and return.

It has a consistent track record and stands up particularly well in volatile markets. It is run by an experienced manager supported by a strong investment team and invests in large good quality companies, with the largest holdings in the US, UK, Europe and Japan.

The manager, Dan Roberts, is prepared to buy stocks which pay lower dividends if he expect them to grow in the future, as a result the fund’s yield of 2.8% is lower than some competitor funds. However, the aim is to maintain the yield at around 3% pa.

3. Schroder Income Maximiser. This funds holds

most of the same stocks as the Schroder Income fund, which is a value-oriented UK equity income fund, but it sells covered call options on about 70% of the stocks in the fund. This means that the growth potential of these stocks is sacrificed but the benefit

of giving up this upside is that the proceeds are used to boost the fund’s income.

This is really helpful for those who main focus is a higher level of income, although the fund can get left behind if markets perform strongly.

The current yield is 6.8% and the fund has maintained a yield of around 7% in all 13 years since its launch.

4. Fidelity Extra Income. This is a very diversified and

defensively managed bond fund which is typically invested about 60% in investment grade bonds and 40% in high yield bonds although can also hold government bonds.

It is invested about 60% in UK bonds and gilts and despite being in the Strategic Bond sector it has a low level of volatility. The fund has an excellent long-term track record of out-performance and pays a consistent yield which is currently 3.5%.

5. L&G UK Property. Commercial property has

traditionally provided investors with a consistent level of income and some degree of capital protection. However, the EU referendum result and ongoing uncertainty that we have endured since then has been considered negative for property investments with many investors fearing significantly outflows which could potentially lead to funds being suspended.

L&G has the largest UK property fund and very possibly the most liquid and so should hopefully be equipped for whatever the future holds.

The fund imposes transaction charges upfront and so is only suitable for long-term investors, but it pays a yield of 3%, continues to grind out positive returns and property could be positioned to perform better if there is a positive Brexit outcome.

PATRICK CONNOLLY’S TOP FIVE INCOME FUNDS

returns compared to bonds and a lower risk profile than equities, UK property remains a core component of any diversified portfolio and continues to provide a healthy level of income.”

Jarvis added: “Historically, property returns have been 66% income but this also demonstrates potential for value creation through selective risk-taking and, unlike many other asset classes, the ability to physically improve the investment and enhance income streams.

“Although it is anticipated that returns will be relatively benign over the short term, in comparison to previous performance, UK property remains well placed compared with many other asset classes.

“Across the sector, rents continue to hold up well due to solid economic conditions and there are a number of other factors supporting stable returns including a lower than average level of new supply, conservative debt levels and low interest rates; the latter emphasising the relative income advantage offered by property.”

Looking forward, Jarvis said that he anticipates: “The future performance of UK property sector investments will be generated by its robust income profile, taking selective risk and tilting portfolios to the more resilient economies within the UK.”  

Against wider market uncertainty, his fund remains well-placed for the future, given its liquidity, sector weightings, opportunistic purchasing, robust performance track record and the underlying quality of its income profile.  

“We analyse our properties frequently and in detail ensuring preparedness for market changes while leveraging the experience, scale, and reach of our wider Real Assets platform.

“This reach means we continue to see opportunities in the wider market and allows us to transact where we feel it is appropriate even during times of increased uncertainty,” he concluded.

“On the positive side,” Roberts said, “persistently low interest rates increase the relative attractiveness of equites to investors looking for a balance of income and growth.

“It is also worth saying that the aforementioned risks refer to equities in aggregate: in a broad global market there will always be the opportunity to find good quality companies trading at fair valuations.”

Sajiv Vaid, portfolio manager of the Fidelity Extra Income fund said he continues to prefer defensive areas of the credit market and bias the portfolio towards asset backed securities, utilities and real estate, which include names such as Thames Water, Westfield and Blackstone.

“We particularly like these areas because they offer stable cash flows, solid asset backing and come with the robust covenants that are missing from straight corporate debt,” he said.

“Importantly, the downside protection they offer does not always mean that coupons are lower, more often than not issuers compensate creditors for the complex nature of the bond structure.

“Going into 2020, we will continue to keep a healthy balance of credit and duration in the portfolio. Not only does duration provide investors with diversification away from equity exposure, it also allows them to earn higher income in an environment where rates are likely to stay lower for longer.”

In light of continuous market uncertainty, Vaid said he is cautious on lower quality credit and has a low exposure to high-beta areas of the market.

“We are underweight these sectors, which include banks and consumer goods, given that they exhibit a higher correlation to equities and greater volatility.

“Given the lack of spread compensation, we also prefer to stay away from quasi-sovereign and supranational issuers and prefer to find liquidity in pure government bonds instead.

“In terms of credit rating,

we have trimmed our triple-B holdings over the year in favour of more higher quality single-A rated names on which we have a high conviction. At the same time, given late-cycle dynamics, we are cautious and very selective on high yield credit where we cap our exposure.”

PropertyCommenting before the news of the closure to withdrawals of the M&G Property Portfolio fund, Matt Jarvis, fund manager at L&G’s UK Property fund, highlighted the importance of property in producing income.

“The importance of income to an investment portfolio of moderate risk remains clear and is evidenced by historic robust returns,” said Jarvis.

“Over the long term, 80% of overall returns within multi-asset portfolios have been generated by income producing assets, of which property is a key driver.

“Typically offering premium

What Investmentwww.whatinvestment.co.uk FOR A WEALTHIER FUTURE Issue 421 March 2018 £4.50

Investment performance is shown after charges have been deducted. This helps to provide an accurate picture for investors by showing the return they would have achieved if they had been invested. Some funds have hefty charges, which act as a drag on their overall performance, and this is reflected in the performance data.

The performance data in What Investment is produced by Morningstar, which is a global investment research firm. This data shows how funds have performed over six months, one year and three years. It is sensible to look at performance over different time periods and by using these figures investors may be able to spot any short-term trends, which could act as a buying opportunity, an indication to sell or a time to rebalance a portfolio. Rebalancing is where profits are taken from funds which have performed well and reinvested in those which have under-performed.

A single priced fund is usually bought and sold at the same price, which reflects the mid-point of the buying and selling price of the fund’s assets.

The information shows how much a hypothetical £100 would be worth if it was invested in the fund over the specified time period. While investors are unlikely to hold just £100 in a fund, this approach can help to bring the performance to life more than showing a percentage return.

The performance is shown assuming that all income generated, such as dividends and interest, is reinvested. This puts income-generating and growth funds on an equal footing and makes total return comparisons much easier than by assuming income is paid out.

The performance is also shown on a bid-to-bid basis. Funds can either be single or dual priced.

Dual priced funds have two prices; the price at which the fund units are bought, called the offer price, and the price at which they are sold, called the bid price. The offer price is higher than the bid price, with the difference effectively being an initial charge which new investors pay.

By showing performance data on a bid-to-bid basis, it is assumed that there is no initial charge and, while this may not be realistic for new investors, it does provide a fair comparison between single and dual priced funds.

So, by showing performance over different timescales, with charges included and income reinvested, using bid-to-bid pricing, investors will have information on a like-for-like basis on which to compare all investment funds

Savers have suffered for a long time with ever reducing interest rate

options available to them. National Savings &

Investment (NS&I) products were always a good option for savers but now they are being hit by a double blow as October inflation figures show a fall in the consumer price index (CPI) and NS&I cuts its link to the (often slightly higher) retail price index (RPI).

The Consumer Price Index fell to 1.5% at the end of October, which means some savers, namely those holding National Savings Index Linked Certificates, will earn less going forward, according to national financial planners LEBC.

Kay Ingram, director of public policy at national advisory group LEBC explained: “Whilst those with fixed rate deposit savings paying in excess of 1.5% may see interest rates beat inflation for the first time since 2016, savers with maturing NS&I Index Linked Certificates are facing a double blow.

“If the impact of falling inflation were not bad enough, any new Certificates issued will now be linked to the CPI, not the Retail Price Index. The RPI has consistently been around 0.7% higher than the CPI in recent times, so those investing in NS&I Index Linked Certificates going forward will have their interest pegged to the lower of the two inflation measures.”

The government has introduced no new NS&I Index Linked Certificates issues for some time. These are in any event available only to existing investors, who can renew their investments when the original fixed term matures.

Existing investors are given 30 days’ notice of a Certificate maturing, and if they do nothing, the investment, plus the interest earned, is rolled over to a new term of 1, 3 or 5 years. Investors can choose to cash in some or all their investment at maturity and the proceeds are completely tax-free.

In deciding whether to roll over, savers must be aware that future returns could be less than they have experienced in the past. So, someone with a maturing Certificate must decide whether they think inflation will go up

again from here, in which case they should stick with Index Linked Certificates – or if they think that inflation could turn into deflation in the near future, look to bag a fixed rate interest bearing account as they are

Savings options diminish again, but don’t give upDecent savings rates are hard to come by and the government backed bond option for savers has just suffered a double hit. But there are better rates to be had than by leaving your funds at high street banks. Stephanie Spicer reports

guaranteed link to CPI plus a small bonus of 0.01%;

• Over the term of the Certificate inflation could rise again, increasing the return on savings;

• Interest is tax-free;• Certificates are guaranteed

by the government and are therefore secure; and

• Once cashed, Certificates cannot be replaced, unless a future government offers new index-linked issues.Ingram said those willing

to take on more risk could get inflation protection from investing in shares, which tend to outstrip inflation over the longer term, but they can also go down in value.

The Barclays Equity Gilt Study shows that asset backed securities have grown at an average of 4.9% above inflation over the longer term. If held within an Individual Savings Account (ISA) these too are tax-free.

Whether inflation, which has been on a downward trend this year, remains low, depends upon several factors. Global growth is slowing, and should that continue, “inflation is likely to stay low”, according to Ingram.

“With every political party promising increased public spending, weakening the UK’s credit rating, the cost of borrowing is likely to increase. A new government could turn once more to savers and issue new Index Linked Certificates,” she continued.

“With Brexit yet unresolved, it is difficult to predict the impact of leaving the EU either with or without a deal on inflation. Higher government borrowing is likely to weaken sterling, pushing up the cost of imports and inflation, so regardless of the current deflationary

trend, abandoning guaranteed inflation proofing could yet be premature.”

Anna Bowes, co-founder of Savings Champion said that a fall in CPI could be seen as positive as it means that the price of some goods are rising more slowly. But this might be bad news for savers as there could be more reasons for the Bank of England to cut the base rate which would lead to further cuts to savings rates.

However, she added: “A drop in inflation does mean that, although competition has waned over the last few months, bringing best buy rates down, there are still plenty of accounts to choose from that will keep your cash in line with the cost of living.”

Bowes pointed out that there are over 300 accounts available that currently match or beat CPI. Although there are still no easy access accounts that are paying as much as 1.50%, there are approximately 18 notice accounts that will beat inflation, at least for the time being.

Bowes warned against leaving funds in high street bank accounts: “If you leave your funds languishing in an easy access account paying 0.15%, a deposit of £50,000 would have fallen to just £46,762 in real terms over five years, assuming an inflation rate of 1.50%.

“But if you were to choose one of the best easy access accounts available today, paying 1.45% AER, while the real value of your money would still be lower, it would be worth £3,115 more, at £49,877. Better still if you choose the best five-year rate available today paying 2.36% AER, it would be worth £5,392 more (at £52,154) and, more importantly, it would be worth more in real terms.”

presently paying more than CPI and offer a rate which is fixed for the term of the investment.

Certificates can only be cashed without penalty at the new maturity date, so investors need to consider whether they will need to access any of their funds before automatically rolling them over for a new term. Cashing in during the fixed term leads to a loss of 90 days’ interest and the index linking for the whole year, so should be avoided.

In recognition of the switch in linking to CPI – which represents a significant change in the terms – NS&I have given savers an extra 30 days beyond the automatic renewal date when they may cash their savings penalty free.

>| The Last Word | Peter Elston

A few years ago, I attended a talk by a professional sports bettor. The aim of the talk was to explain the difference between professional gamblers and so-called problem gamblers. The audience was comprised of healthcare volunteers, and the distinction between the two types was important because problem gamblers were among those whom they would likely be called on to support.

What struck me most about the sports bettor was his humility. He did not suggest he was special or better than others, just that he had a simple, disciplined process intended to spot the occasional mispricing of odds.

If his process flagged a mispricing, he would bet a percentage of his purse commensurate with the odds themselves, as well as the extent of the mispricing. Even when the potential pay-out was highest – the longer the odds and the bigger the perceived mispricing, the higher the potential pay-out – he would still only bet a relatively small percentage of his purse. The reason? He knew he could be wrong.

Perhaps the biggest trap any professional or amateur investor can fall into is to start believing he or she is better than others. A financial market, whether stocks or bonds, is the expression of the collective intelligence of millions of individuals. Thinking by default that you are right, and the market and its millions of participants are wrong, is arrogant in the extreme.

The problem is that arrogance serves an evolutionary purpose – to persuade others to do what you want them to do. You are much more likely to follow or be persuaded by someone who exudes confidence.

The benefits of arrogance are

significant of the cognitive biases. Because optimistic bias can be both a blessing and a risk, you should be both happy and wary if you are temperamentally optimistic.”

As for overconfidence among businessmen, Kahneman refers to one survey that found 81% of entrepreneurs in the US put their personal odds of success at 7 out of 10 or higher, and 33% said their chance of failing was zero. The actual probability that a small business will survive for five years is around 35%.

Kahneman does not suggest that such overconfidence is without its benefits, as it: “…encourages persistence in the face of obstacles.” Furthermore, all enterprises, whether destined for success or failure, stimulate economic activity even if those in the latter category end up causing pain for one or more stakeholders.

In nature, the process of natural selection is based on successes rising above the failures. Failures are an essential component of both the living world and the business world – they provide successes with something to rise above.

Overconfidence is particularly evident in financial markets. A survey of CFOs’ forecasts of S&P500 returns found that the incidence of surprises, as defined by the CFOs themselves, was

more than three times higher than they expected.

Kahneman finishes by stating that he is not

optimistic that overconfidence can be overcome by training.

Presumably therefore he would be even less confident in an individual’s ability to exhibit both overconfidence and humility simultaneously. This may be why genuinely skilful fund managers, like successful sports bettors, are very rare beasts indeed.

thus two-fold. First, the individual in possession of said quality will tend to get what he/she wants, whether a promotion or the attention of a mate. Second, society as a whole benefits by having leaders who are not afraid to act.

Humans would not have got very far had they had nobody to lead them out of their caves.

Striking a balanceFor professional investors, therefore, whether fund managers or otherwise, success is about getting a balance between humility and hubris. You need to make good investment decisions, but you also need to persuade – perhaps the two most important powers one can possess are those of prediction and persuasion.

In his book, Thinking, Fast And Slow, Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman writes that: “…the optimistic bias may well be the most
