Commenting on the markets, Mike Prentis and Richard Plackett, representing the
Investment Manager noted:

During July, the NAV rose by 0.5% and the benchmark rose by 0.8% (both on a
total return basis). The FTSE 100 Index rose by 1.2% during the month.

Sector allocation was slightly negative whilst the contribution from stock
selection was negligible. The most significant negative contribution to sector
allocation was for the second consecutive month from our large overweight
position in electronics.

The CFD portfolio added value, with the long positions faring well, and the
short positions showing a marginal loss.

There were no individually significant contributors to stock selection; the
largest positive contribution came from Inchcape, in anticipation of good
results, which were duly delivered.

Given the continuing uncertainties in Europe, and further signs that the global
economy may be stuttering, we decided to trim some of the more capital spending
related industrial companies. We added a holding in Young & Co's Brewery, the
predominantly London based pub company.
