Turning the Corner

Managing Director s comment mandg.co.uk I recently watched an excellent BBC TV drama called The Wipers Times written by Ian Hislop. It s a true story of how two young British officers stationed in Ypres during the First World War enhanced the lives of the fighting men in desperate times by writing and producing a light-hearted and informative newsletter. Having once been a soldier myself, I would love to emanate their achievement by writing something encouraging to my clients at these uncertain times. Since the unspeakable events in Syria in August the world has held it s breath whilst a suitable response is considered. This has left the investor in a vulnerable situation whilst stock markets perform like a Blackpool ride. Amid this mayhem order can be found even today, so let me help you find it without advising you. Income yields from shares have continued to hold steady and grow and this has enabled investors to receive returns far in excess of that offered by bank and building society deposit accounts by investing in funds. The average yield from the four highlighted monthly income funds is currently 6.33% p.a. and if you wish to spread your investments further and include the four equity income funds, the yield is still 4.95% p.a. Not a bad return and one that will help pay the bills in these inflated financial times. the fund and manager s rating, charges, yield consistency, and performance over a number of years and selected periods. The surprising result is after so much research, the same funds just keep appearing. Likewise the same fund managers like Invesco s Neil Woodford, Fidelity s Ian Spreadbury and M&G s Richard Woolnough and a number of others, just keep coming to the top of the pile. So it is hard to ignore quality and consistency. There are currently over 2,000 funds available to investors and those I have highlighted may not suit your particular circumstances, but they give you good idea of what is available to you and how they have performed in the past. Please remember that we do not give advice so take this information with a pinch of salt and if in doubt about any fund or investment you should seek expert advice. I hope that the choice of funds in this booklet are of interest and helps you towards putting some sort of order in making your own investment choices. Of course capital is at risk with funds, but so long as you chose a good fund manager from a strong investment company and leave the managing of money to the experts you could also benefit from some capital growth.

The official benchmark of the fund is a composite index representing 65% of the FTSE All Share Index and 35% of the FTSE All Stocks Index. The stocks held in the equity portion of the fund result from bottom-up, fundamental analysis. While the manager invests across small, mid and large companies, there is likely to be a bias towards medium-sized companies. The fixedincome section is invested in UK government bonds, sterling-denominated corporate bonds and other fixed-income securities, such as interestpaying preference shares and convertibles. This fund is effectively an amalgamation of two separate portfolios and aims to combine and above-average yield with some capital growth and low volatility. Ian Spreadbury is a FE Trustnet FE Alpha Manager who has maintained a consistently high alpha score over a proven track record in rising and falling markets. Overall, performing better than the peer group composite. However, over a long track record, the manager has, period by period, over- and under-performed roughly equally. Good stockpicking has had a material positive impact on results, which have not been particularly exposed to falling markets. Ian Spreadbury is a Senior Portfolio Manager at Fidelity Worldwide Investment Ltd (FIL). Ian is also responsible for managing Money Builder Income Fund, Extra Income Fund, Sterling Bond Fund, Euro High Yield Fund amongst other funds. The Invesco Perpetual Monthly Income Plus Fund aims to achieve a high level of income whilst seeking to maximise total return through investing in high yielding corporate and Government bonds, together with UK equities. In pursuing this objective, the fund managers may include investments that they consider appropriate which include transferable securities, money market instruments, warrants, collective investment schemes, deposits and other permitted investments and transactions. This fund combines the talents of Invesco Perpetual s bond managers Paul Causer and Paul Reed with their UK equity income manager Neil Woodford. Causer and Reed are arguably the most established and successful portfolio management partnership in the fixed income retail space, managing the Invesco Perpetual Corporate Bond and Tactical Bond funds, both of which are highly rated by FE Trustnet. Woodford has perhaps an even stronger reputation and is the long time manager of Invesco Perpetual s Income and High Income funds. He remains one of the best known and best performing fund managers in the UK market today. His key funds are the Invesco Perpetual High Income fund and Income fund. He also looks after the equity element of the Invesco Perpetual Distribution fund since January 2004. Neil Woodford is a FE Trustnet FE Alpha Manager who has maintained a consistently high alpha score over a proven track record in rising and falling markets. Overall, performing better than the peer group composite. Over a long track record, the manager has, period by period, consistently managed to outperform the peer group. Good stockpicking has had a material positive impact on results, which have not been particularly exposed to falling markets. The fund is co-managed by Paul Read and Paul Causer. Paul Causer is the Co- Head of Fixed Income based in Henley-on-Thames.

The Fund may also invest in deposits, derivative instruments, forward transactions and collective investment schemes. At least 80% of the Fund s assets should be in Sterling denominated assets or hedged back to Sterling. The Fund invests in fixed income securities denominated in Global currencies, predominantly from issuers below investment grade (rated below BBB or equivalent), and is therefore exposed to credit risk. The Fund can also be exposed to changes in currency rates and interest rates. These factors may affect the performance of the Fund. Charges are deducted from the capital of the Fund, which will affect its growth. Howard Cunningham - Overall, performing worse than the peer group composite. Nevertheless, over a long track record, the manager has outperformed the peer group more often than not. Poor stockpicking has had a material downward effect on results, which have not been particularly exposed to falling markets. Howard Cunningham as a Analyst/investment manager, credit. He holds a BA degree and is a Associate of Chartered Institute of Bankers (ACIB),Associate Member of the United Kingdom Society of Investment Professionals (UKSIP).He has a experience from 2000 to date Newton Investment Management as a Analyst/investment manager, credit,from 1988-2000 NatWest Group as a Head of credit rating and research. WARNING: Funds that pay a higher than average income yield can be more volatile than those of lower returns and should only form a small part of any portfolio. Charges are deducted from capital which will affect its growth. The aim of the Fund is to provide income. The Fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in high income paying bonds (which are similar to a loan and pay a fixed or variable interest rate) issued by companies worldwide. High income paying bonds are bonds that have received lower ratings from international agencies that provide such ratings. These bonds are considered riskier than higher rated bonds but typically pay a higher income. The Fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in high income paying bonds (which are simliar to a loan and pay a fixed or variable interest rate) issued by companies worldwide. High income paying bonds are bonds that have received lower ratings from international agencies that provide such ratings. These bonds are considered riskier than higher rated bonds but typically pay a higher income. High yield bonds remain in demand as investors seek income in a low interest rate environment. The fund s performance continues to be broadly in line with the sector. Barrie Whitman - Overall, performing about the same as the peer group composite. Nevertheless, over a long track record, the manager has outperformed the peer group more often than not. Poor stockpicking has had a material downward effect on results, which have not been particularly exposed to falling markets. Barrie Whitman joined Threadneedle in 1999 as Head of High Yield.

The Fund invests in higher yielding assets including high yield bonds, investment grade bonds, government bonds, preference shares, convertible bonds and other bonds. The manager typically looks for situations offering value and good risk/reward positions. He takes a top down/bottom up approach to investment. That means spending a lot of time meeting management and researching company fundamentals with the help of Rhys Petheram, a former specialist at credit ratings agency Moody s. He prefers issues from companies with robust business models and competent management teams and invests for the medium to long-term. In this environment, subordination is very important to his investment criteria and, ideally, the Manager would invest at the highest possible end of a company s capital structure. Ariel Bezalel is a FE Trustnet FE Alpha Manager who has maintained a consistently high alpha score over a proven track record in rising and falling markets. Overall, performing better than the peer group composite. Over a fairly lengthy track record, the manager has, period by period, consistently managed to outperform the peer group. Good stockpicking has had a material positive impact on results, which have tended to be similar in rising and falling markets. Ariel has managed the Jupiter Strategic Bond Fund since its launch in June 2008. The fund aims to provide a total return by investing across the full fixed interest spectrum, including investment grade and high yield corporate bonds as well as government bonds. The manager also makes use of derivatives and unusually may include some equity exposure. The fund aims to outperform the sector average but has no yield target. The manager takes a primarily top-down approach, positioning the fund across the asset class according to prevailing market conditions. The M&G Optimal Income Fund is a fully flexible bond fund, allowing investment across a broad range of fixed income assets according to where the fund manager identifies value. This is a hugely popular fund and assets under management have growth to a staggering 15,871 million. A manager with a strong track record across all market conditions and fixed income mandates; combined with the resources of the M&G Group, make this a powerful investment proposition. This is Richard Woolnough s most flexible mandate and makes extensive use of derivatives, so it should be considered more aggressive than his other funds, M&G Strategic Corporate Bond and M&G Corporate Bond. Richard Woolnough is a FE Trustnet FE Alpha Manager who has maintained a consistently high alpha score over a proven track record in rising and falling markets. Overall, performing better than the peer group composite. Over a long track record, the manager has outperformed the peer group more often than not.

The Unicorn UK Income Fund once again delivered strong performance. In absolute terms the Fund delivered a total return of 7.1% during July, outperforming the average return from the UK Equity Income sector by 1%. Outperformance came as a result of strong share price gains from a significant proportion of the holdings in the Fund. One stock, Conviviality Retail, was added to the portfolio in July. Conviviality Retail is one of the UK s largest franchised off-licence chains, which successfully completed its listing on the Alternative Investment Market at the end of the month. Following further strong fund inflows, weightings were increased in a number of existing holdings.

The Fund may also invest in companies which are headquartered or have significant activities in the UK which are quoted on a stock exchange outside the UK Paul Marriage has generated substantial outperformance in a variety of market conditions since taking control of this fund in 2006, though he has proved particularly effective during falling markets. He takes a common sense approach, generally looking for good businesses but also for an investment angle that will cause their share price to be re-rated. He is also pragmatic enough to include poor quality companies in the portfolio if he believes they are sufficiently undervalued. Paul Marriage does not confine himself to a particular investment style when stocking his portfolio for the Cazenove UK Smaller Companies fund. Instead, he concentrates on the business cycle and how companies earnings are affected during its different stages. Paul Marriage is a FE Trustnet FE Alpha Manager and AAA rated by Citiwire, who has maintained a consistently high alpha score over a proven track record in rising and falling markets. Paul Marriage joined Cazenove Capital in 2005 and is a member of the pan-european equity team Paul joined from Insight Investment where he was head of UK small cap investments valued at 750 million. The fund targets long term capital appreciation by investing principally in the equity securities of companies in the biotechnology, genomic and medical research industries. The fund invests worldwide in companies of all sizes, but the bulk of the portfolio will consist of US stocks, reflecting the location of much of the biotech industry. The biotech sector rebounded strongly from the generalised market weakness evident during June. Overall the Q2 2013 financial results announced during the month for the larger cap stocks were stellar with most reporting better than expected results. However, given the share price performance of the sector year to date beating expectations proved necessary to continue this momentum as the share prices of stocks that only met expectations came under pressure. If more M&A deals are announced this would be a clear positive for the smaller and mid cap stocks within the sector. Longer term, the biotech sector looks healthy and fundamentally well supported. The longer term growth profile of the biotech sector appears robust and as such should continue to attract investor attention, underpinned by a combination of new drug approvals, commercialisation success, a strong pipeline of drugs in development, and ongoing merger and acquisition activity. Linden Thompson - Overall, performing better than the peer group composite. Over a short track record, the manager has outperformed the peer group more often than not. There is not sufficient data to say whether good stockpicking has had any real effect on results, which have not been particularly exposed to falling markets. The short track record means that the measurements quoted above need to be treated with some caution. WARNING: The Biotech and Healthcare sectors can return outstanding returns, but please be aware that they are also more volatile in poor markets and should only form a small part of any portfolio. This Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within five years.

WARNING: The smaller company sector can return outstanding returns, but please be aware that they are also more volatile in poor markets and should only form a small part of any portfolio. This fund aims to achieve capital growth through a portfolio of investments primarily in European companies, excluding the UK. For those who want an exposure to European equities and take advantage of any growth prospects from the region. The fund is a high conviction / high alpha fund that is prepared to take large sector and country positions based on the manager s level of conviction. The fund will tend to hold 70-80 stocks with the largest positions rarely exceeding 5 per cent. The top ten represent 29 per cent of the portfolio. The manager has a style-neutral approach but the natural skew is towards growth and for this reason the fund has a bias towards small/mid caps (defined as having a market capitalisation of less than 6bn). Style neutrality enables the fund to adapt to the macro and to be flexible over the long term. An example of this can be seen at the start of the 2012 when the manager felt markets had rallied ahead of fundamentals through December 09 and into January 2010. He took profits and held 10 per cent cash whilst the markets consolidated downwards at the start of the year. Adrian Bignell - Overall, performing about the same as the peer group composite. However, over a long track record, the manager has, period by period, over- and under-performed roughly equally. Poor stockpicking has had a material downward effect on results, which have not been particularly exposed to falling markets. Based in Henley-on-Thames, Adrian is responsible for a number of European equity portfolios, with a particular interest in the small cap sector. Adrian began his investment career at Cazenove in 1994 and became a director of the company and vicehead of their European Equities team.

Proceeds with caution. Why reinvesting income could grow on you. Real growth can seem elusive in today s markets. Especially when asset classes like cash and bonds simply can t deliver the growth you need to meet your goals. So how can you find better returns, while trying to manage the risk? Equity income: real growth potential We believe now is a very good time to look at equity income. Why? Because whilst an income fund is designed to generate a regular income, it can also be used to generate growth. Simply choose to reinvest the dividends, rather than taking them out. This technique can have a powerful compounding effect on the overall value of your investment. In fact, it s so effective that around 60 per cent* of total returns generated in the UK by equity investment come from reinvesting dividends.

Life assurance bonds can keep the taxman at bay Canada Life Flexible Interest Bond By Sam Barrett (Money Observer) Wed, 23rd May 2012. The taxman is always keen to take his share of everything, from your income to the wealth you leave your family, so finding ways to reduce your tax bill is a rewarding activity. The tax-planning opportunities available with life assurance bonds make them an appealing investment proposition. Life assurance bonds let you manage your tax liability in legitimate ways, says Ian Porter, head of wealth management at Alexander Forbes Consultants and Actuaries. With HM Treasury becoming increasingly aggressive, they will become more and more popular. Tax treatment Life assurance bonds - which are also known as investment bonds, distribution bonds and with-profits bonds - benefit from a unique tax position. Bob Perkins, technical manager at Origen Financial Services, says: If you hold a life assurance bond, the life company will pay corporation tax at 20% on any gains made in the fund, which is broadly in line with basic-rate tax. But the rate deducted is often lower than this, sometimes substantially, because of the way it is calculated. There may be additional tax to pay, but this is deferred until the bond is cashed in and assessed on your tax status at that point. Another unusual feature of a life assurance bond is that investors can withdraw 5% of the original investment every year, for up to 20 years, without incurring an immediate tax charge. Sarah Lord, managing director at Killik Chartered Financial Planners, says: Because there s no immediate tax liability, this works well for people looking to supplement their income in retirement from a capital lump sum. There s also some flexibility with these 5% tax-deferred withdrawals: you can defer them for as long as you like. For example, if you took out a bond while you were working and didn t need to take income from it until you retired in five years time, you could either take a tax-deferred lump sum of 30% of the original investments in the sixth year or increase the amount you took each year to make up the difference. Tax on gains When you come to cash in your bond, your gain will be subject to income tax rather than capital gains tax. Investors receive an effective tax credit of 20% for the tax the life company has already paid. This means most basic-rate taxpayers will have no further tax to pay, while higher- and additional-rate taxpayers will need to pay a further 20% and 30% respectively on the gain. If the profit on the bond pushes you from the basic-rate tax band into the higher-rate band, a technique known as top slicing is used to assess whether you have any further liability. Your liability will depend on the size of the gain and the length of time you ve held the bond. As an example, if you invested 100,000 and after 10 years it had grown to 120,000, the gain, of 20,000, would be divided by 10. This 2,000 would then be added to the taxable income you received that year. If this keeps you within the basic-rate tax band, there s no further tax to pay, but if it pushes you up into the higher or additional rates, you ll be subject to a further 20% or 30% respectively on the total gain. Perkins says: Most investors will delay cashing in the bond until they are a basic-rate taxpayer so that there s no further tax to pay, but if you re close to the top of the basic-rate tax band, top slicing may enable you to avoid paying any more tax on the gain. Onshore life assurance bonds Life company funds are subject to corporation tax at 20%, although in practice life companies pay less than this A 5% withdrawal of original investment is allowed each year, with tax deferred until the bond is cashed in Gains are taxed as income, and tax already paid is taken into account. This means basic-rate taxpayers have no further liability, while higher-rate taxpayers pay a further 20 or 30% Offshore life assurance bonds These offer gross roll-up, as no tax is deducted other than the 10% tax credit on UK dividends A 5% withdrawal of original investment is allowed each year, with tax deferred until the bond is cashed in Gains are taxed as income. Basic-rate taxpayers pay 20% and higher-rate taxpayers 40% Canada Life offer both Onshore and Offshore Flexible Investment Bonds through Seymour Sinclair Investments Limited.
