Commentary
UK equities fell sharply in December, ending a disappointing year in 2018. The negative reception by Parliament to Prime Minister May’s Brexit deal raised the perceived risk of both an election or a ‘no deal’ Brexit, both considered undesirable outcomes due to the potential negative impact on UK business prospects. Additionally, more cautious economic commentary from the Federal Reserve while flagging further rate hikes led to a more negative view of US economic prospects in 2019 and triggered sharp falls in US equities, further unsettling the UK market. Exposure to the financials and industrials sectors detracted from fund performance last month. Amongst the former, our holding in River & Mercantile lost ground as continued macroeconomic uncertainty raised concerns over the asset management group’s earnings prospects. Similarly, amongst industrials both engineering group Melrose and BBA Aviation weakened on concerns over the outlook for the US economy and the continuing trade dispute with China, as both companies have substantial US earnings. Holdings in the technology and telecoms sectors made a positive contribution in December. Investors have reacted positively to recent management changes at accounting software group Sage, while shares in regional telecoms operator KCOM rebounded following a recent profits warning.

Important Information
Source of portfolio data: Broadridge. Source of performance data: FE fundinfo. We can’t predict the future. Past performance isn’t a guide to future performance. The figures shown are intended only to demonstrate performance history of the fund, after allowing for the impact of ongoing charges, but take no account of product charges. Ongoing charges may vary in the future and may be higher than they are now. Fund performance is based upon the movement of the daily price and is shown as total return in GBP with income reinvested. The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might get back less than you put in. This factsheet is for information purposes only.
