Japan was weak again, falling for the second consecutive quarter. There was a late rally in Continental Europe as hopes rose for a settlement of the issue in Greece as a new austerity package was voted through. Commodities and especially oil headed downwards whilst defensive sectors such as Healthcare and Consumer staples performed best. In Q2 2011, the Company's NAV and share price returned -2.2% and -1.9% respectively. The Core Portfolio returned 1.6% with its performance driven by its exposure to defensive stocks. The investment in the Javelin Capital Global Equity Strategies Fund fell by 2.3% in sterling terms. A General Meeting of the Company was held on 29 June 2011 which approved a further capital injection into Javelin Capital, of up to £3.5million in aggregate, which also included various changes to the LLP agreement, and also approved a change to the Company's investment policy and objective. Following this approval a further £2.5million of additional capital was provided by the Company to Javelin Capital LLP and in line with the new LLP agreement the Company's initial stake increased to 75%. Javelin Capital LLP has undertaken a restructuring as a consequence of the extra capital and remains focussed on attracting external assets under management. There have been no other material events or transactions that have taken place between 31 March 2011 and the date of publication of this statement.
