1 Elite LJ Active Portfolio Fund Short Report for the year ended 30 April 2015 Investment Objective and Policy The objective of the Fund is to achieve a total positive return in all market conditions, over a rolling period of 3 years, through active investment in a diversified portfolio of transferable securities (including investment trusts), collective investment schemes, warrants, cash or near cash, deposits, money market instruments and derivatives. Capital invested in the Fund is at risk and there is no guarantee that the investment objective will be met over a 3 year rolling period or in respect of any other period. Subject to the requirements of the Regulations, the portfolio will normally remain fully invested. There will, however, be no restrictions on the underlying content of the investments held, in terms of investment type, geographical or economic sector, other than those imposed by the Regulations, meaning that the Investment Adviser has the absolute discretion to weight the portfolio towards any investment type or sector at any time. The maximum holding of cash will be 50% of the Fund s total net assets. Unregulated collective investment schemes may be used up to the full extent permitted by the Regulations. The portfolio will be actively managed and the Fund may invest in derivatives for investment purposes as well as for efficient portfolio management purposes (including hedging). It is not intended that the use of derivatives in this way will change the risk profile of the Fund. Borrowing will be permitted under the terms of the Regulations. Subject to the above, the Fund may invest in any asset class and adopt any investment technique or strategy permitted under the rules in COLL as such rules are applied to Non-UCITS retail schemes.

4 Investment Manager s Report Investment Review In the 12 months to 30 April 2015, the Elite LJ Active Portfolio Fund B Accumulation shares increased by 13.01%*. Unicorn UK Income had performed strongly since being purchased and received significant inflows into the fund. However, historically it had a small cap bias and with its increasing size it was beginning to buy larger stocks. The fund was sold to switch into Aberforth Smaller Companies Trust, which invests in UK small cap stocks and this strategy should not be distorted by inflows as it is in a closed ended Investment Trust structure. Cavendish Technology was sold to reduce exposure to technology companies due to concerns over whether they can maintain earnings growth and the proceeds were used to buy ishares UK Dividend UCITS ETF because this provides exposure to higher yielding UK equities that should remain in demand with interest rates likely to remain at low levels. JPMorgan Emerging Markets was switched into JPMorgan Global Emerging Markets Income Trust to switch to more dividend focused companies, which tend to have more shareholder focused management teams and has led the fund to outperform its sector and benchmark since launch in Also, because JPMorgan Global Emerging Markets Income Trust is an Investment Trust it has a stable capital base so the investment strategy should not be adversely affected by capital inflows or outflows in changing market conditions. The Russian equity market and currency experienced high volatility during the period due to sanctions adversely affecting the economy and threats of capital controls, therefore, the db x-trackers MSCI Russia Capped Index UCITS ETF was sold. Biotech Growth was bought to diversify the portfolio and gain exposure to a sector that is expected to continue its recent growth. The benefits of the sector are that healthcare is benefitting from strong demographic and secular trends such as an ageing population, expanding insurance coverage, growing middle-class around the world and new more efficient product launches. The sector performance is volatile, though, so only a small weighting will be held in the Fund. Baillie Gifford American was switched into the ishares Core S&P500 UCITS ETF because the US market has proven difficult to outperform and this exchange traded fund was launched with a particularly low management charge. The ishares MSCI Emerging Markets UCITS ETF was also switched into a cheaper version introduced by the same manager which should help improve the returns due to the similar index that is being tracked. The UK Gilt Inflation Linked 0.125% Bonds 22/03/2029 issue was bought to provide inflation protection for the portfolio and to provide a hedge should equity markets suffer a correction following the rally over the last few years. *Source: Financial Express Page 4
5 Investment Manager s Report (continued) Market Overview Equity markets have performed strongly over the period of review with most regions increasing. Equities have broadly trended higher due to economic growth appearing to improve with unemployment in the US falling and also helped by the European Central Bank ( ECB ) reducing interest rates and beginning purchases of asset backed securities to add stimulus to the region. However, concerns over the continued weakness of many European economies pushed down European Equity prices in the first half of the review. Equity markets fell in September and October due to a variety of different factors combining to affect investor sentiment. Instability in equity markets was caused by divisions in the European Central Bank on the best way to implement plans for economic growth in the Eurozone, concerns over global growth and of the impact of the US Federal Reserve s decision to end its quantitative easing ( QE ) program six years on from the financial crash of However, sentiment was helped when the Bank of Japan surprised markets by announcing an expansion to its asset purchasing program to support growth and increase the monetary base, which caused Japanese equities to surge. Further support occurred in January 2015 when the European Central Bank announced a large scale expansion of its asset purchase programme. Contrary to many investor predictions, developed market government bonds have performed relatively strongly over the period of review as interest rates have remained at low levels and the falling oil price has reduced inflationary pressures. Combined with EU quantitative easing this resulted in many European government bond prices rising so high that they were trading at negative yields. In currency markets, the US Dollar strengthened against Sterling as the US economy wound down its quantitative easing programme following improvements in its economy and the uncertainty surrounding the Scottish referendum and the UK election didn t help sentiment for Sterling assets. The Japanese Yen and Euro both fell against Sterling following their continuation of quantitative easing. Outlook With economic growth in the US lower than expected at the start of 2015 and signs that growth is improving in Europe, there are indications that global economic growth is becoming more balanced, which should be supportive for risk assets. Expectations of interest rate increases in the US, which had helped strengthen the US Dollar, have been put back and when added to continuing stimulus in Europe and Japan may help to prolong the benign conditions of moderate growth and low inflation. However, there is the possibility that the weak US growth was caused by temporary disruptions such as the weather and if structural reforms in Europe and Japan begin to help the real economy growth may pick up again. Also, once last year s falling energy prices work their way out of inflation data there is the potential for inflation to increase from their low levels and this may cause market volatility with the US looking to increase interest rates at a time when monetary policy is loose in Europe and Japan, which will cause the US dollar to strengthen. Page 5
6 Investment Manager s Report (continued) Outlook (continued) Many developed market government bonds are trading at historically low yield levels and should inflation creep upwards there is a risk that investors are exposed to capital losses should the outlook for interest rate rises change significantly. Other risks include China looking like it might miss its growth target, although this will be mitigated by further stimulus, and conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East still have the potential to deliver surprises to oil supply. Also, negotiations between Greece and its creditors still remain precarious. Therefore, the portfolio will remain widely diversified geographically to help reduce the volatility of the portfolio.
