Commentary

Global equity performance was mixed in March, as markets in the UK and Continental Europe gained on robust merger and acquisition activity, while emerging markets underperformed. Monetary policy around the world continued to be tightened: both the US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank raised interest rates by 0.25%, to 4.75% and 2.50%, respectively; while the Bank of Japan ended its five-year long policy of excess liquidity, a move seen as a precursor to a rate increase. In contrast, the Bank of England kept base rates unchanged. Global bond yields continued to rise, on increased risk aversion, and concerns over persistently strong oil prices. During the month, we took advantage of short-term weakness to add to Japanese mobile operator NTT DoCoMo, as well as Samsung Electronics, the Korean consumer electronics giant. n terms of investment strategy, we continue to favour well-managed companies, which offer strong cashflows and high dividend yields at reasonable valuations.

Fund Specific Risks

Emerging Markets

The fund invests in emerging markets. Generally less well regulated than the UK. There is an increased chance of political and economic instability with less reliable custody, dealing and settlement arrangements. The market(s) can be less liquid. If a fund investing in markets is affected by currency exchange rates, the investment could either increase or decrease. These investments therefore carry more risk.

Value of Investments

The value of investments, and any income can fall, as well as rise, so you could get back less than you invested. Neither capital nor income is guaranteed.

Investments Long Term

Investments should be regarded as long term and are not suitable for money which may be needed in the short term, you should always have a sufficient cash reserve.

Exchange Rate

This fund invests in securities outside the UK. The value of investments and any income from them may therefore decrease or increase as a result of changes in exchange rates between currencies.

Higher Risk

This fund is specifically aimed at sophisticated investors and is particularly high risk, because it concentrates on a region that may be exposed to unusual political or economic risks. You should only invest if you are comfortable with the specific risks pertaining to the fund in question. If you are not familiar with these you should ask us for a copy of the provider's key features and brochure.

Returns Are Not Guaranteed

What you receive when you sell your investment is not guaranteed; it depends on how your investments perform.

Inflation

Inflation will reduce the real value of your investments in future.

Taxation and Tax Relief

Levels of taxation and tax relief are subject to change.
