3 Manager s investment report for the period ended 15 September 2015 Investment objective and policy The objective of the Virgin UK Index Tracking Trust is to closely match the performance of the FTSE All-Share Index #, after taking charges into account. The policy for achieving this is to fully replicate the FTSE All-Share Index, which comprises approximately 600 company shares. Stock index futures contracts (derivatives) may also be used to manage the pool of investors cash before it is invested in stocks which form the All-Share Index. This is for the purpose of efficient portfolio management. No trading or speculation in these investments is undertaken. Trust status The Trust is an authorised unit trust scheme under S243 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and is categorised as a UCITS scheme under the Collective Investment Schemes Sourcebook (COLL). Financial instruments In pursuing its investment objective set out above, the Trust holds a number of financial instruments. The Trust s financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise securities and other investments, cash balances and debtors and creditors that arise directly from its operations. For example, in respect of sales and purchases of securities and other investments awaiting settlement, debtors and creditors are created. Similarly, amounts receivable for creations and payable for liquidations of units, and accrued income relating to debtors are reflected in debtors and creditors. Unit Trust schemes are not permitted by the Regulations* to enter into a transaction if its purpose could reasonably be regarded as speculative. The Trust s use of financial instruments satisfies these requirements and no trading in financial instruments is undertaken. *The Regulations derive from UK and EU financial services legislation including the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, the Undertakings in Collective Investments in Transferable Securities (UCITS) Directive and FCA rules, principally the Collective Investment Schemes Sourcebook (COLL). Risk and Reward profile The Trust s Synthetic Risk and Reward Indicator (SRRI) is 5 on a scale of 1 (lower) to 7 (higher) as it invests in company shares. For further information, please refer to the fund s Key Investor Information Document (KIID). Income The interim distribution for the period ended 15 September 2015 for Income Unit Class will be 4.071p net per unit payable on Friday 13 November The interim distribution for the period ended 15 September 2015 for AE Income Unit Class will be 1.541p net per unit payable on Friday 13 November The AE Income Unit Class is only available for investment to Virgin Money Nominees Limited on behalf of Virgin Stakeholder Pension Scheme auto-enrolment members. This unit class is not available to retail customers. Fund performance The Virgin UK Index Tracking Trust fell by 7.41% compared with the FTSE All-Share Index fall of 7.33%. The tracking error at the end of the six months was 0.10%**. Over any 6 month period the tracking error of the Trust (before charges) is expected to be within a plus or minus 15 basis point (0.15%) range of the FTSE All-Share Index. Based on net asset value. ** Tracking error is calculated as the standard deviation of returns excluding annual management charges for the year. In tracking the performance of the Index, the Fund uses full replication to track the performance of the Index as closely as possible. The difference in return can be attributed, among other things, to a number of managed and non-managed factors, including small differences in weightings resulting from trading activity; transaction costs; and differences in the Company s valuation and withholding tax treatment between the Fund s and the Index vendor s methodologies. 1

4 Manager s investment report for the period ended 15 September 2015 (continued) Markets and economic commentary Following a strong start to the period, financial markets became volatile in June, largely due to the continuing issues in Greece. Although some improvement was seen in July, the six-month period ended with stock markets falling back and the FTSE All-Share reporting a negative return of -7.33% for the period overall. The first part of the reporting period saw most global stock markets, including the UK, perform positively. This was due to fading deflationary worries, unexpectedly strong economic activity and the European Central Bank s (ECB) announcement of a larger-than-anticipated quantitative easing (QE) programme of more than 1 trillion, aimed at improving growth in the Eurozone. The UK stock market was also helped in the early part of the reporting period by the UK general election result a positive surprise for the markets as the Conservatives won an outright majority, removing concerns of a hung parliament and the economic uncertainty that might have followed. This all led to many stock markets reaching highs not seen for at least 15 years, with the FTSE in the UK reaching a new all-time high in March and again in April and staying near to those historic high levels for much of May. June and July saw stock market volatility increase as concerns about the Greek economy returned. This was due to the newly-elected anti-austerity government delaying a debt repayment to the International Monetary Fund in early June, before calling a referendum and missing the repayment deadline at the end of June. This led to the introduction of capital controls and the country s banks and stock market being closed for much of July. However, to avert a potential economic and banking collapse Greece did agree a deal towards the end of July. The period ended with global stock markets falling back further mainly due to concerns about an economic slowdown in China, which led Chinese shares to fall over 9% in a single day (their biggest one-day fall since 2007). However, it was not all bad news during the period. The UK economy maintained its reasonably steady progress, with Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth (the measure of growth of the UK economy) of 0.4% in the first quarter of 2015 and 0.7% growth in the second quarter. The second quarter of 2015 also saw a rebound in retail sales activity as well as solid housing and unemployment data, indicating ongoing strength in the economy. The Eurozone maintained its modest recovery, and the region is now forecast to grow by 1.5% across 2015, while US GDP was quite strong at 3.7% for the second quarter of Darrell Evans Director Virgin Money Unit Trust Managers Limited 29 October 2015 # FTSE, FT-SE and Footsie are trade marks jointly owned by the London Stock Exchange Plc and The Financial Times Limited and are used by FTSE International Limited under licence.
