Interim Management Report

 

Chairman's Statement

 

Performance

Over the six months to 31 January 2018 the Company's NAV total return was 4.7%. This compares with a return on the benchmark, FTSE World Europe (ex UK) Index of 3.4%. The share price total return was 7.4%. This means that there was a positive return to shareholders, the underlying portfolio outperformed its benchmark index by 1.3 percentage points and the discount between the NAV and the share price narrowed to 0.8% as at 31 January 2018.

 

Share Capital

There has been no change in the share capital in the period under review. Whilst the discount narrowed between the Company's year-end and 31 January 2018, and indeed the shares fleetingly traded at a premium during the half year, this has not been sufficient to enable the Company to issue new shares. However, for most of the period we have traded at a smaller discount to NAV than the rest of the sector, which is pleasing.

 

Gearing

Our Fund Manager continued to use the borrowing facility over the period, with £8.3 million of the £20 million facility drawn as at 31 January 2018. We continue to value the benefit of low cost, flexible access to gearing.

 

Dividend

An interim dividend of 8.0p (2017: 7.0p), an increase of 1.0p, which continues the progressive dividend policy, will be paid out of revenue on 27 April 2018 to shareholders on the Register of Members on 13 April 2018. The shares will go ex-dividend on 12 April 2018.

 

Outlook

We are living in very interesting times, from an economics and markets perspective.  A decade of very low - sometimes negative - interest rates has fuelled one of the longest bull markets in equities despite subdued Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") growth. In all likelihood, we are now re-entering an environment of more "normal" interest rates and, potentially, higher inflation, which could put pressure on equity valuations.

 

In such an environment it was not surprising to see the sudden, but relatively brief, reversal observed only days after the end of the half year. And it is easy to find other reasons to be cautious, whether in the trend towards populism in several countries in Europe, or elsewhere, for example in recent moves towards protectionism in the United States. Bonds do not seem to offer a safe haven either.

 

This is precisely where active management comes into its own: whilst maintaining the focus on those companies which are financially strong and have good dividend growth potential, our manager can adapt the portfolio to changing industrial and economic trends and take advantage of any further market volatility to deploy gearing strategically. The portfolio continues to be underweight in consumer staples, which have tended to be seen as "bond proxies". The portfolio invests little in highly cyclical companies but, in an environment of rising rates, there has been an increase in exposure to Banks.

 

The late stages of the economic cycle are often good for profitability and valuations in Europe remain attractive compared to other developed markets, especially the US.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties associated with the Company's business can be divided into the following main areas:

• Investment activity and performance risk

• Portfolio and market risk

• Regulatory risk

• Operational risk

 

Information on these risks and how they are managed is given in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 July 2017. In the view of the Board these principal risks and uncertainties were unchanged over the last six months and are as applicable to the remaining six months of the financial year as they were to the six months under review.

 

Directors' responsibility statement

The Directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge:

 

(a)        the condensed financial statements for the half year ended 31 January 2018 have been prepared in accordance with "FRS 104 Interim Financial Reporting";

 

(b)        this report includes a fair review of the information required by Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 4.2.7R (indication of important events during the first six months and description of principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year); and

 

(c)        this report includes a fair review of the information required by the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 4.2.8R (disclosure of related party transactions and changes therein).

Fund Manager's Report

 

The Company's NAV total return in the first half was 4.7%, ahead of the FTSE Europe (ex UK) Index return of 3.4%. This is an encouraging start to the year, and it is also good to see Europe make some progress in spite of further Euro strength especially against the US Dollar, some weakness in Bonds, and political uncertainties.

 

Sentiment in Europe has remained quite nervous - even more so in the few days immediately after the end of the half year.

 

The main contributors to performance in the six months have been DSM, Novo-Nordisk and Amundi, while Vestas has weighed on performance again, as a result of uncertainties caused by debate in the United States about levels of support for alternative energies. Publicis Groupe also lagged (and has been sold), as did Geberit, but we have continued to build the size of our position in both Geberit and Vestas on confidence about their long term prospects.

 

Since 1 August 2017 the pace of economic recovery in Europe ex the UK has continued to accelerate. While that is obviously a good backdrop for equities, and we have run the fund using a small amount of gearing during the period, tension has been rising for some months owing to fears that the European Central Bank ("ECB") may move more aggressively to tighten monetary policy. We agree that the Quantitative Easing ("QE") programme is likely to be reduced further and probably end before the end of 2018, but we think it unlikely that the ECB will actually increase short term interest rates until 2019. Markets have been worrying that inflation will soon start to rise faster than expected, and wage settlements of over 4% in Germany have fuelled this concern. However the ECB is more likely to welcome an increase in inflation, since it has been trying in vain to push inflation closer to its 2% target for some years. Overall monetary conditions worldwide are likely to herald a period of more subdued economic growth, and this is in line with my long term expectation of a world of sluggish growth.

 

In this environment we have made only a few changes to the portfolio. We have sold Publicis Groupe, Essilor, BIC, Vivendi, Bayer and Ryanair and added ASML, Renault, Brenntag and BAWAG. The constant factor behind our sales has been our concern that the market may be taking an over-optimistic view of earnings growth forecasts. Bayer faces a long and fraught struggle to complete the Monsanto takeover and expectations look too high in my opinion. Vivendi has also moved too far in my view on the back of lofty expectations for the potential when Spotify (music streaming) finally lists in 2018.

 

Outlook

As the first half ended, the lengthy period of extremely low volatility broke with sharp market declines in the United States and other parts of the world. This was caused, as is often the case, not by any single factor but apparently by supposedly highly intelligent trading strategies moulded into some Frankenstein-esque "Inverse Volatility" creation by some genius with a computer. Central banks all over the world continue to tread a very careful path of retreat from QE.  This aim is something which markets should actually be welcoming as it might herald an era of relative "normality" in economics. It might also confirm the suspicion of some observers that the bull market has been propelled by excess monetary liquidity, which has leached into financial assets rather than raising investment in the underlying economies.

 

I take a more simplistic view. European (ex UK - the UK has different issues) economies are at an early stage of a long awaited recovery.  We will see the results in earnings growth again this year in spite of the headwind from a strong Euro. The ECB is unlikely to tighten official short term interest rates in 2018, but the recent move in German 10 Year Bunds to yields of over 0.7% probably adequately portends a tightening action some time in 2019. So the bond market has moved to where it may perhaps have wanted to get to by 2019.

 

A new coalition government in Germany has finally been formed, and the long (two to three year) process of handover of German leadership from Mrs Merkel to the next Chancellor may have begun. None of this is reason to spook markets, and we have therefore used recent market weakness as an opportunity to increase the level of gearing, using some more of the existing facility of £20 million.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.

Accounting policies

 

The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 104, Interim Financial Reporting, issued in March 2015, the revised reporting standard for half year reporting that was issued following the introduction of FRS 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, which is effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2015 and the Statement of Recommended Practice for "Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts", issued by the Association of Investment Companies in November 2014 and updated in January 2017 with consequential amendments.                              

                                               

The condensed set of financial statements has been neither audited nor reviewed by the Company's Auditors.                         

                                               

As an investment fund the Company has the option, which it has taken, not to present a cash flow statement. A cash flow statement is not required when an investment fund meets all the following conditions: substantially all of the entity's investments are highly liquid and are carried at market value; and where a statement of changes in equity is provided.
