Objective
The objective of Edinburgh UK Tracker Trust plc is to invest in a portfolio designed to track closely the FTSE All-Share index, both in terms of capital and income.
Manager's Monthly Report
February 2012
Performance
The capital NAV of the Trust rose by 2.6% in January in line with the return from the FTSE All-Share Index. The economic background in the UK continued to weaken but the data were largely ignored by the equity markets. Investors’ focus switched from the debt crisis in the eurozone to improving manufacturing data from the US and China and equity markets enjoyed a buoyant start to 2012. The Bank of England left interest rates unchanged as consumer confidence fell and unemployment continued to rise. GDP contracted by 0.2% in the fourth quarter of 2011 and Mervyn King warned of further economic weakness which led to renewed speculation over another round of quantitative easing. An improvement in the inflation figures provided some relief from the otherwise gloomy economic situation. The FTSE 100 Index rose by 2.0%, while the FTSE 250 Index and the FTSE Small Cap Index rose by 6.6% and 6.3% respectively.
Activity
The changes to the constituents of the FTSE 350 Index in January were Paypoint replacing Charter International which was acquired by Colefax UK.
Strategy
The Trust’s portfolio replicates in full the constituents and weightings of the FTSE 350 Index and also holds most of the constituents of the FTSE SmallCap Index.
