Manager's Monthly Report
January 2012
Performance
The capital NAV of the Trust rose by 0.8% in December in line with the return from the FTSE All-Share Index. The Company bought back 183,000 shares for Treasury during the month.
The debt issues within the eurozone continued to influence the direction of equity markets in December. Markets rebounded in the first part of December on hopes that policymakers would tackle the debt crisis with greater urgency only to fall back after EU leaders announced a new ‘fiscal compact’ to prevent future debt problems. Investors were underwhelmed by the lack of action to deal with the current issues. Equity markets however recovered towards the end of the month in response to better than expected economic data from the US. In the UK, inflation appears to have peaked with the CPI report for November showing an improvement to 4.8% from 5.0%. However, unemployment rose to a 17 year high at 8.3%.
The FTSE 100 Index rose by 1.2%, while the FTSE 250 Index and the FTSE SmallCap Index fell by 2.1% and 0.2% respectively.
Activity
The additions to the constituents of the FTSE 350 Index at the quarterly review in December were CRH, Evraz, Polymetal International, Bumi and John Laing Infrastructure Fund.
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.
