INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY
The Fund aims to provide capital stability and income through investment in short-term fixed
income and variable rate securities. The Fund will invest in high quality, liquid securities from
both within and outside the UK, aiming to achieve capital preservation with money market
returns. The Fund is a European Securities and Market Authority (“ESMA”) Short-Term
Money Market Fund.
INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT
The Bank of England (BOE) cut its forecast for UK economic growth for both this and next
year. Growth prospects for 2015 were lowered to 2.50% from 2.90%, and the expectations for
2016 fell from 2.90% to 2.40%, Governor Carney said the downgrade was due to the stronger
pound, higher projected bank rates, a poor outlook for housing investment and a forecast for
weaker productivity.
Meanwhile, the UK economy entered deflationary territory for the first time in more than 50
years. This has been widely expected, with lower energy prices, the strength of sterling and
the ongoing supermarket price wars, but it was air and ferry fares that eventually pushed the
annual CPI rate to fall by 0.10%. No one expects a period of outright deflation similar to the
one that lasted for 12 years beginning in 1921 to reoccur as the impact of lower oil prices
fade from the year-on-year measure. Indeed expectations are for a short-lived negative
period. Mr. Carney fully expects inflation to return to the BOE’s 2.00% target next year.
The unemployment rate remained at 5.50%, with 202,000 new jobs created, and real-time
earnings were the best since 2007. However, the BOE cut its wage growth forecast in 2015
from 3.50% to 2.50%.
