Objective of the Company

 

The objective of the Company is to maximise long-term total returns with a minimum objective to maintain the real purchasing power of Sterling capital as measured by the annual average yield on the UK 2.5% Consolidated Loan Stock.

 

Investment Policy

 

The Investment Policy of the Company is to invest:

 

·        in a wide range of financial assets including equities, unquoted equities, bonds, funds, cash and other financial investments globally with no limitations on the markets and sectors in which investment may be made, although there may be a bias towards Sterling assets consistent with a Sterling-dominated investment objective. The Directors expect that the flexibility implicit in these powers will assist in the achievement of the absolute returns that the investment objective requires;

·        in Lindsell Train managed fund products, subject to Board approval, up to 25% of its gross assets;

·        to retain a holding, currently 24.42% of its issued Ordinary share capital, in order to benefit from the growth of the business of the Company's Investment Manager.

 

Diversification

The Company expects to invest in a concentrated portfolio of securities with the number of equity investments averaging fifteen companies. The Company will not make investments for the purpose of exercising control or management and will not invest in securities of or lend to any one company (or other members of its group) more than 15% by value of its gross assets. The Company will not invest more than 15% of gross assets in other closed-ended investment funds.

 

Gearing

The Directors' policy is to permit borrowings up to 50% of the net asset value of the Company in order to enhance returns where and to the extent that this is considered appropriate.

 

Dividends

The Directors' policy is to pay annual dividends consistent with retaining the maximum permitted earnings in accordance with investment trust regulations.

 

The current composition of the portfolio, which may be changed at any time at the discretion of the Investment Manager within the confines of the policy stated above, is shown on pages 14 to 16.

Chairman's Statement

 

The first half of the 2014 financial year continued last year's trend. The net asset value ('NAV') total return of the fund was 8.7%, ahead of both the benchmark (2.2%) and world markets, as measured by the rise of 5.5% in the MSCI World Index in Sterling. The biggest contributor to this return was the rise in the value of the Company's 24.42% holding in Lindsell Train Limited ('LTL') whose value rose by 13% over the half year. LTL continues to grow its funds under management (which today exceed £4bn), particularly in its Lindsell Train badged funds which now make up over 43% of funds under management. LTL has now risen to 26% of NAV at the end of September and with it the risk that any setback in the business or fall in markets could have a materially negative impact on the Company - a risk to which I have alluded in my previous reports. One specific risk to the fortunes of LTL would be the unexpected demise of one of the founders of the company .... a low risk admittedly as they both seem in fine health and are eagerly embracing the challenges of continuing to grow the business! But it is one we can at least insure against. In consequence, the Company has taken out a policy to insure their lives for £6m each for the payment of around £20,000 per annum, fixed for five years. In the event of a claim being made the funds would partly offset the likely fall in the value of the investment, but it at least provides some measure of protection. The robust balance sheet of LTL with no debt and shareholders' funds of £10.5m as at September 30th 2014 provides additional reassurance, as does the modest key man cover paid for by LTL itself.

 

The Company is now registered with the Financial Conduct Authority as a small registered Alternative Investment Fund Manager ('AIFM'). Although 'light touch' compared to full registration, it will inevitably provide us with increased administrative and cost burdens with, in our view, limited additional benefit to our underlying investors. On achieving a risk adjusted NAV of more than 100m, the Company would have either to apply for full registration or refrain from all borrowing. It is possible we would adopt the latter course which, if we did so, would allow the Company to grow to a risk adjusted NAV of 500m before application for full registration would be mandatory.

 

The only investment activity over the half year involved taking up all the new shares offered in the London Stock Exchange ('LSE') rights issue. The issue was required to fund the purchase of Frank Russell Company which further diversifies LSE's revenues away from market trading into indices where it is complementary with LSE's existing business, FTSE International. Following this acquisition, indices, data, clearing and technology make up the majority of the company's revenues with as little as c.17% directly reliant on volatile market trading. The LSE has been one of the better performing companies in the portfolio over the last three years (up 150%) partly reflecting the higher valuation the shares can command with this greater diversity of high margin revenues.

 

The Company's shares continue to trade at a premium to NAV which at the end of September had widened to 11.3% of NAV. Again, the Directors note that the purchase of shares at a premium to NAV carries the risk that in a period of underperformance a discount may re-emerge to the detriment of share price to total return.

Investment Manager's Report

 

This report is being written following an October that lived up to its traditional billing of being a difficult month for equity markets.

 

This was disagreeable, but in these circumstances it is important to look on the bright side and keep faith with the asset class. Setbacks are always with us and, as we say, October is traditionally an unsettled month. But far and away the best bet is that equity markets will settle down, and then push ahead.

 

The fact is, being as objective as possible, that we see plenty of reasons to be optimistic about your portfolio and the equity markets. Here I look at three in particular - moving from the specific to the general.

Dividend growth from the portfolio constituents has been satisfactory to say the least. We calculate annualised growth in the order of 8%. This figure is, for example, getting on for double that of the UK market average - which we have seen estimated at c.4.5% year-on-year. It is also well in excess of domestic rates of inflation, maintaining and enhancing the real purchasing power of our investors. The dividend growth is testament to the cash generative nature of most of the portfolio companies - even if current trading is disappointing for one or two names. For instance currency volatility has hurt Diageo in 2014, but the recent 9% dividend increase indicates not just the continuing financial strength of the company, but its board's best estimate of medium term cash flow growth.

 

Next, September saw an important event for our strategy. This was SAB Miller's bid approach to Heineken. This matters for two reasons. First, not surprisingly, it has helped Heineken's share price, up c.12% in 2014, even though the offer was roundly rejected by the family with its controlling stake. But the approach also highlights the rarity and, in our opinion, great value of truly global consumer brands and other franchises. The fact is there are arguably only three truly global beer brands and SAB doesn't own any of them - Budweiser, Guinness and Heineken. We are not surprised SAB wants to acquire one. We look at the global properties across our portfolio - not just Heineken and Guinness, but Johnnie Walker, Dove Soap, Magnum, Cadbury, Oreos, Philly Cheese and resonant names such as London Stock Exchange, Financial Times, PayPal or Super Mario. We look at these brands and think - these are unique and rare and worth much more than stock market investors currently accord.

 

A third reason to keep constructive is to think through some of the implications of even the so-called bad news depressing equity markets. In the UK Tesco has had a shocker, dragging down all the food retailers. But the real reason for its malaise is technology. Technology is cutting profit margins for many traditional retailers. Not good for the retailers, but wonderful for consumers. Prices are coming down. The same is true for energy. We've seen it argued that the oil price is down - 25% in just 4 months - because the world's economy is slowing down. Maybe, but far more likely it is because technology is releasing new, unthought-of reserves of hydrocarbons and producing ever more energy efficient homes, work places and vehicles. That drop in the oil price is best construed as a multi-billion boost to consumer incomes and corporate balance sheets. Expect inflation to stay low, but real growth to pick up in response. Equities will recover their poise soon enough.

8.  Effective rate of tax

 

The effective rate of tax reported in the revenue column of the income statement for the six months ended 30 September 2014 is 1.14% (year ended 31 March 2014: 1.03% and six months ended 30 September 2013: 1.86%) based on revenue return before tax of £963,000 (year ended 31 March 2014: £1,365,000 and six months ended 30 September 2013: £484,000). This differs from the standard rate of tax, 21% (year ended 31 March 2014 and six months ended 30 September 2013: 22%) as a result of income not taxable for Corporation Tax purposes.

11.  The investment in Lindsell Train Limited (LTL), representing 24.42% of the Investment Manager, is held as part of the investment portfolio and is accounted for and disclosed in the same way as other investments in the portfolio. The Directors of the Company review the fair value of the investment in LTL at the end of each quarter using the simple average of:

 

(a)   1.5% of LTL's most recent funds under management ignoring any differences between types of asset class and fee structure; and

(b)   LTL's net earnings (adjusted for a notional increase in total staff costs to 45% of revenues excluding performance fees*) divided by the annual average yield on the 2.5% Consolidated Loan Stock plus an equity risk premium of 4.5%.

The Board reserves the right to vary the valuation methodology at its discretion.

 

12.  It is the intention of the Directors to conduct the affairs of the Company so that the Company satisfies the conditions for approval as an Investment Trust Company set out in Sections 1158/1159 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010.

 

* The Board judged it necessary to adjust for the comparatively low level of staff costs, a function of the salary and bonus cap agreed between LTL and the Company at inception.

 

 

Interim Management Report

 

The Directors are required to provide an Interim Management Report in accordance with the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules 4.2.3 to 4.2.11. They consider that the Chairman's Statement and the Investment Manager's Report on pages 3 to 5 of this half-year report, the following statement on related party transactions and the Directors' Responsibility Statement below together constitute the Interim Management Report for the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2014.

 

The Directors confirm that, except as stated above, no related party transactions were undertaken by the Company in the first six months of the current financial year, and there have been no changes to the related party disclosures set out in the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2014.
