03Ravenscroft Limited | Huntress Investment Fund Offshore | Unaudited Interim Report 2017

Ravenscroft Investment Management Limited (the “Manager”)

has pleasure in submitting its report for the Huntress Investment

Fund Offshore (the “Fund”) for the half-yearly period from 1

October 2016 to 31 March 2017.

STATEMENT OF MANAGER’S RESPONSIBILITIESThe Manager is responsible for preparing financial statements

for each half year in accordance with the Trust Instrument,

the Listing Rules of the The International Stock Exchange (‘TISE’),

the Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 1987

(as amended) and the Authorised Collective Investment

Schemes (Class B) Rules 2013. The Manager has chosen

to prepare interim financial statements in accordance with

International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial

Reporting (“IAS 34”). In preparing these financial statements, the

Manager is required to:

• Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them

consistently;

• Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and

prudent;

• State whether applicable accounting standards have been

followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and

explained in the financial statements; and

• Prepare the financial statements on the going concern

basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Fund

will continue in business.

The Manager confirms that they have complied with the

above requirements in preparing the financial statements.

The Manager is responsible for keeping proper accounting

records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the

financial position of the Fund and enable them to ensure that

the financial statements comply with the Trust Instrument and

The Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 1987

(as amended). They are also responsible for safeguarding the

assets of the Fund and hence for taking reasonable steps for the

prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

ACTIVITIES AND STATUSA Trust Instrument dated 12 November 2008, between

the Manager and the Trustee, established the Fund as an

exempt unit trust under the laws of the Island of Guernsey.

The Fund is authorised by the Guernsey Financial Services

Commission as a Class B Scheme under the provisions of

the Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 1987

(as amended).

The Fund changed its administrator to Louvre Fund Services Ltd

on 1 April 2016.

During the period, the Fund consisted of the following Sub Funds:

• Huntress Global Balanced Fund (first units created

1 December 2008)

1 July 2014)

The Huntress Global Balanced Fund aims to generate long-term

capital growth with a lower level of volatility than equity markets.

The Huntress Global Balanced Fund seeks to attain its objective

by diversifying investments in a number of collective investment

schemes across different asset classes.

The Huntress Global Income Fund aims to provide investors

with a total return with a focus on delivering an income yield

that competes with prevailing cash rates with some capital

growth. The Huntress Global Income Fund will invest in a global

portfolio comprising of a range of fixed, floating and inflation

linked debt securities, properties and equities.

The Huntress Global Growth Fund aims to generate

long-term capital growth primarily through investment in

global equity markets. The Huntress Global Growth Fund seeks

to attain its objective by investing in a number of collective

investment schemes that offer a range of geographic and

sector exposures or whose investment strategy best fits the

investment environment.

The Huntress Global Blue Chip Fund aims to generate long-term

capital growth from a focused portfolio of global equities of

developed market, multi-national businesses (“Blue Chips”) with

a market capitalization of $5 billion or greater. The stocks will be

listed on recognised stock exchanges in developed countries

and will be held for a long period.

05Ravenscroft Limited | Huntress Investment Fund Offshore | Unaudited Interim Report 2017

For the six month period ended 31st March 2017 the I Accumulation class of the Blue Chip Fund returned 9.86%.

We started the interim period with the results of the US Presidential Election. Reminiscent of Brexit, the mathematically equally likely

but popularly unexpected outcome became a reality when Donald Trump was elected America’s 45th President. Performance wise

the previous six months were split over the calendar quarters, with the Fund losing ground versus the broader market throughout

Q4 but rebounding in 2017 Q1. During Q4, there were two main reasons for the underperformance;

I. structural underweight to the Financials and Oil & Gas sectors

II. the fear that inflation would materialise quicker than expected

The underweight to Financials has been a stance of the Fund since the beginning as we could not (and still can’t) get comfortable

with their overcomplicated operational structures and opaque balance sheets. In terms of Oil & Gas, the volatility in energy prices

taught us a lesson in how difficult it is to value companies that can’t control the end price of their product and as a result we have

been reducing our exposure to this type of business. Both these sectors performed well during the quarter; Financials rose in

response to higher government bond yields whilst the oil prices responded positively to news of an agreed output cut by OPEC,

lifting oil & gas stocks.

In December, the US Federal Reserve voted to raise rates and hinted, in a more hawkish tone, of further rates rises to come. Markets

focused on the possibility of inflation coming back into the system stronger than previously thought, which forced government

bond yields higher and bond proxy stocks (i.e. dividend paying companies) lower. This had a negative impact on the Fund which

had a bias towards these types of businesses.

Throughout Q1 2017, equity markets enjoyed some positive momentum, primarily due to a strong belief (hope) that President Trump

would come good on his campaign promise to ‘Make America Great Again’. The two themes that consistently drove performance

over the quarter were Healthcare and Global Brands. The Fund’s preference towards these themes were certainly a contributing

factor to performance, with roughly 65% of the portfolio invested across consumer staples, consumer discretionary, large cap

pharmaceutical and medical device companies.

Over the interim period, we pursued our strategy to improve our exposure to dependable earners that are able to generate reliable

free cash flow from increasing volume/subscription or licensing based revenues from relevant products and reduce and remove the

exposure to those which rely on the sale of big ticket, bespoke, price orientated products. As part of this process we introduced Walt

Disney and L’Oréal and sold Royal Dutch Shell and BAE Systems. In addition, we sold Deere, which benefited from the ‘Trump Rally’.

The pick-up in infrastructure and construction associated stocks saw Deere hit all-time highs in both price and valuation making it

vulnerable to a sharp decline should reality not meet expectations.

Our aim is to build and maintain a portfolio focused on a select number of companies that are aligned with one or more of our

investment themes that would, in aggregate, possess characteristics of financial quality that were better than the market average.

In doing so, we have a portfolio that will weather future financial turmoil, helping investors navigate the uncertainties of investing in

equity markets.

INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT

HUNTRESS GLOBAL BLUE CHIPBY HOLLY WARBURTON

06 Ravenscroft Limited | Huntress Investment Fund Offshore | Unaudited Interim Report 2017

For the six month period ended 31st March 2017 the I Accumulation class of the Growth Fund returned 4.88%.

In terms of performance, the story, once again, is a tale of two halves. Following the “shock” outcome of the US presidential election,

the Fund struggled, on a relative basis, as the more cyclical sectors of the market (those that we typically avoid owning) rallied

significantly. During the last 3 months of 2016, the Healthcare, Consumer Staples and Real Estate sectors were the three worst

performing, whilst the Finance, Energy and Materials sectors were up considerably. Our thematic approach means that we have

a consequential overweight to both the Healthcare and Consumer Staples sectors and at the same time we maintain a strategic

underweights to the Finance, Materials and Energy sectors.

Our premise for investing in healthcare is that the demand for products and services will increase as average life expectancy rises

and global demographics shifts towards an ageing population. We seek to benefit from this by owning high quality companies

which are well positioned to survive the test of time and benefit from the natural tailwinds provided by this theme.

Likewise, many of the companies contained within the Consumer Staples sector have well-established globally recognised brands

with loyal customer bases and this enables them to maintain significant pricing power.

We used the negative sentiment shown as an opportunity to allocate some of the Fund’s surplus cash to areas that had begun

to look comparatively attractive from a valuation perspective. As a result, we marginally increased the Fund’s holding in the Polar

Capital Healthcare Opportunities Fund - taking the position from a 5.5% weight up to a 7% allocation.

The Healthcare sector had been the worst performing sector during 2016. This was largely attributable to the negative sentiment

shown towards the sector following comments made by Hillary Clinton in the latter half of 2015. Whilst, following the election,

the immediate threat to the sector diminished, like his opponent, Trump advocated that he strongly opposed price gauging. This

suppressed the recovery of the broader industry and it seemed that the quality companies (such as those which Polar seek to own)

were being unfairly tarnished by the immoral practices of a select few.

If we now fast-forward to the first three months of 2017, the story could not be any more dissimilar. As the “Trump-trade” began to

unwind, the Healthcare sector regained its position as one of the strongest performers, whilst both the Energy and Finance sectors

headed towards the bottom of the pack. The Fund returned ~5.5% over the three month period, outperforming the peer group

average (as defined by the TMPI High Risk Index) which stood at ~3.9%. Quarterly performance was assisted by our position in Polar

Capital Global Technology Fund which returned ~16.1%, outperforming the MSCI World AC Technology sector by over 4%.

In terms of portfolio composition, having carried out an extensive review of fixed income assets and considered various “blends”

of our preferred bond funds, the only change we made over the quarter was to increase the Fund’s allocation to PIMCO Global

Investment Grade Credit Fund – taking the position up to a 7% weighting. This decision came out of a wider review of the Growth

Fund’s bond holdings and the fact that we felt, particularly in the Growth strategy that the bond holdings could be working harder

for our investors.

Over the coming months, there are likely to be a few further changes as we gradually tweak the bond allocation within the Fund.

For the six month period ended 31st March 2017 the I Accumulation class of the Balanced Fund returned 3.09%.

Markets remained strong during the period with new highs reached in major market indices. Many clients have asked “when will

it end”? The answer is, of course, that we simply cannot know. At some point the market will sell-off; however, that point could be

tomorrow, in 3 weeks’, 3 months’, or even 3 years’ time. We often quote the world’s most successful investors and this highly topical

market-timing observation comes from Warren Buffet:

“[You are] making a terrible mistake if you stay out of a game that you think is going to be very good over time because you think

you can pick a better time to enter it.”

During the period, there have been very few changes to the portfolio and the Balanced Fund has delivered investors a pleasing

return of 3.37%. This said, as our returns thus far this year have been highly correlated to the devaluation of sterling, we further

partially hedged our equity currency exposure in the Balanced Fund. This was achieved by switching from the Polar Technology

USD class into the GBP hedged class. It is important to note that we maintain the stance that such hedges are imperfect but we

believe that this that best option available to reduce our non-sterling exposure. This will allow us to continue to enjoy the majority

of the tailwinds should the pound continue to weaken but will mitigate the risk of giving all the currency gains made thus far back

should the pound strengthen once again.

Polar’s Technology fund was also the best performing holding during the period, returning 17.64% taking into account the

aforementioned class switch. Findlay Park was the second best performing delivering 11.76%. At the other end of the spectrum,

the worst performing holdings were the Ishares Core UK Gilts and M&G’s Corporate Bond Fund, which returned -1.91% and 0.67%

respectively.

As investor sentiment continues to swing from one extreme to the other, we remain focused on the fundamentals. Until valuations start

to offer a more attractive entry point, we will remain in the most defensive position that the Fund has been in since inception in 2008.

INCOME COMMENTARYFor the six month period ended 31st March 2017 the Accumulation class of the Income Fund returned 0.98%.

Over the period ranging from the end of September 2016 to March 2017, the performance of the Fund was more benign than the

unusually strong performance seen for the preceding six months. A large part of that return was down to the EU referendum vote

and the subsequent currency moves as the vote for Britain to leave the European Union came out on top. This six month period

was not without significant political occasion however, as Donald Trump was elected the new President of the United States of

America. The reaction to this outcome was reasonably severe, as it came as a surprise to many, but it was also very short lived.

From the day Donald Trump was elected, despite the many headlines about him or his decisions, markets have generally taken little

notice of the noise and have been very docile in terms of volatility.

Over the period in question, broadly equity markets experienced a rotation to the more cyclical assets in the equity market, which

the Fund deliberately has less exposure to. The duration of this rotation was not one of great length and a counter rotation occurred

fairly soon after the New Year begun, in February. We saw our favoured sectors, such as Consumer Staples, bounce back and it has

so far been one of the strongest performing sectors in equity markets over 2017. One of the most significant bits of news for the

portfolio was the Kraft Heinz bid for Unilever during February, and although the offer was rejected, it highlighted the fact that big

players in the market are prepared to pay up to own the same high quality businesses that we invest in, despite the rise in valuations

we have seen in recent years.

On the bond side of the portfolio, the performance of the holdings within the Fund has been relatively stable, and in fact, was a tale

of two clear sides. The top performing asset classes were assets seen by investors as likely to benefit from the “Trump Reflation”

such as high yield, namely the Muzinich Global High Yield and Oaktree Global High Yield funds. On the other hand, the worst

performing bond exposure was the Fund’s allocation to UK gilts (in a reversal of previous commentaries) which lagged as investors

priced in higher growth and inflation on the promise (and not much else) that Mr Trump would “make America great again” and by

extension boost the global economy.

As far as positioning within the Fund is concerned, equity valuations are still relatively high and bond yields remain relatively low and

as a result the cautious stance of 75% bonds and 25% equities remains. We continue to look out for opportunities should any short

term volatility allow access to good quality assets at the right price.

The main change to the Fund over the period was the removal of the small direct bond position. This position was introduced a

number of years ago when, in the wake of the financial crisis, new bond issues were being priced at a discount to existing bonds to

encourage investors to purchase them. During this period a number of bond issuers with whom we were comfortable issued new

bonds and so we moved to take advantage of the discounts on offer. Since then the bonds have performed well however they no

longer offer a discount and as such we have been able to reduce risk by switching the capital into our main bond funds without any

material loss of income or return potential. This change has being going on for a number of months now as prices allowed and was

completed during the period.

Looking forward the primary risk to the Fund’s performance remains a revaluation by investors of the value of income bearing

assets. While this cannot be mitigated entirely we have taken a number of steps to help manage this risk. Firstly, the Fund owns a

broad range of income bearing assets which provide an element of diversification. Secondly, the Fund limits its exposure to certain

risks in order to limit the impact should one risk factor be repriced aggressively. Finally, the Fund uses a balance of equity and bond

assets in order to smooth the Funds return potential across a range of economic scenarios. This combination of mitigating factors,

combined with structural forces such the retirement of the baby boomers which provide strong demand for the type of assets we

own, allow us to be comfortable that this risk is sensibly managed.

comprising of a range of fixed, floating and inflation linked debt securities, property and equities.

The Huntress Global Growth Fund aims to generate long-term capital growth primarily through investment in global equity markets.

The Huntress Global Growth Fund seeks to attain its objective by investing in a number of collective investment schemes that offer a

range of geographic and sector exposures or whose investment strategy best fit the investment environment.

The Huntress Global Blue Chip Fund aims to generate long-term capital growth from a focused portfolio of global equities of developed

market, multi-national businesses (“Blue Chips”) with a market capitalization of $5 billion or greater. The stocks will be listed on

recognised stock exchanges in developed countries and will be held for a long period.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Compliance and basis of preparation

These unaudited condensed half-yearly financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard

34: Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), and applicable legal and regulatory requirements of Guernsey Law. They do not include all

of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the

year ended 30 September 2015 which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued

by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations

Committee (“IFRIC”) and applicable legal and regulatory requirements of Guernsey Law.

The accounting policies adopted in the period are consistent with those of the annual financial statements with the exception of new

standards that have become effective during the period. Although there were a number of new standards and interpretations that

apply for the first time in this period, none of these impact the Funds’ Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements.

There have been no new IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 October 2015,

which have not previously been adopted by the Funds.

Standards and Interpretations in issue and not yet effective

At the date of authorisation of these Financial Statements, the following standards and interpretations, which will become relevant to

the Company but have not been applied in these Financial Statements, were in issue but not yet effective:

IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments - Classification and Measurement” (effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018);

IFRS 15, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (effective periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018);

IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements: Disclosure Initiative” (effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2016); and

Annual Improvements 2012-2014 Cycle (effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2016).

With the exception of IFRS 9, the adoption of the above standards and interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on

the Funds’ financial statements. Management is considering the potential impact of this new standard, and will report on its findings

once this is completed.

The Fund has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

9. SEGMENTAL INFORMATIONFor management purposes, each Sub Fund is organised into one main operating segment. All of the Sub Funds’ activities are interrelated, and each

activity is dependent on the others. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of each Sub Fund as one segment. The

financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial results of the Sub Fund as a whole.

The following table analyses the key information used in decision making by the Manager:
