Investment Objectives, Policy and StrategyTo achieve long term capital growth through the active management of a diversified portfolio of securities. There will be no geographic oreconomic restrictions but principally, investment will be in securities traded on Asian and Australasian stockmarkets.

Subject to the regulations, the property of the fund may include transferable securities, shares in collective investment schemes (includingthose managed or operated by the ACD or an associate of the ACD), warrants, money market instruments, deposits and derivatives.

The fund will initially only use derivatives for Efficient Portfolio Management purposes. The fund may use derivatives for purposes otherthan EPM, provided it has given shareholders 60 days notice of such change. If the fund did use derivatives for investment purposes, thenet asset value of the fund would therefore, at times, be highly volatile and the risk profile of the fund might change.

The fund aims to achieve long term capital growth by investing in a diversified portfolio of securities originating predominantly in themarkets of the Asia Pacific region excluding Japan. This includes the more developed markets of Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore.

ReviewAsian equity returns for the six months to the end of April 2012 were strongly positive as investor sentiment improved from the deeppessimism seen in the summer of 2011. Asian equities remain a secular growth story, but are currently impacted by their ‘‘risk on’’ nature.The major theme throughout global equities, and an unavoidable impact on Asian investor sentiment, remains the fluid nature ofEuropean political and liquidity risk. The European agreement in October 2011 detailing banking recapitalisation and an increase the sizeof the bailout in Europe sparked the global rally. This was continued in the first two months of 2012 with the European Central Bank seeingthrough a successful second round of the Long-Term Refinancing Operation, providing around E500 billion in additional liquidity. Thisremoved the threat of any immediate credit crisis in the European banking system. More broadly, data and policy announcements in theUS, Germany and China pointed to a more positive skew in the economic picture. A note of caution appeared towards the end of theperiod as old fears regarding a Euro break up and commensurate instability in the European banking system came to the fore. Thiscoincided with weaker leading indicators in both Europe and the US.

The fund performed very well in the six months to the end of April, after the transition to systematic investment strategies implemented inDecember 2011. As we would expect, given the stock selection nature of the fund, stock picking rather than sector selection droveperformance over the period. Stock selection was particularly strong in the areas of information technology and consumer discretionary.The use of multiple stock selection tools is likely to be well rewarded over the longer term, as tools tend to work in different areas and atdifferent times of the economic and business cycle. The current six months have seen strong returns to cheaper stocks from expensiveones and those stocks enjoying analyst support performed well over the period.

OutlookPerformance of the portfolio is strong over the short and medium term. The environment remains challenging for equities in general as wework through a period of political, economic and financial uncertainty. The portfolio remains well placed to weather the storm given thediverse investment tools utilised, together with strong risk management.

Risk WarningPlease remember that past performance is not a guide to future performance. The price of shares and the income from them may godown as well as up. You may not get back the amount you invest. The fund may not be suitable for everyone and if in doubt you shouldseek advice from your financial adviser.

Investment Objectives, Policy and StrategyTo achieve long term capital growth through the active management of a diversified portfolio invested primarily in European stock marketsexcluding the United Kingdom.

Subject to the regulations, the property of the fund may include transferable securities, units in collective investment schemes (includingthose managed or operated by the ACD or an associate of the ACD), warrants, money market instruments, deposits and derivatives.


The European Equity Fund is a core Europe (ex UK) fund managed using OMAM’s proprietary quantitative investment process.

The fund aims to generate long term capital growth through an actively managed, diversified portfolio of listed European equities.

ReviewEuropean equity markets fell marginally over the six months to the end of April, with the MSCI Europe ex UK index down 0.8%. Thismasked what has been a very volatile period. In the first month of the period the market fell significantly, as the impact of the ongoingsovereign debt crisis reached its lowest ebb and politicians could not agree on a common and coordinated policy to calm the fears ofinvestors. The replacement of the heads of government in Greece and Italy with unelected technocrats marked a turning point, as itbecame clearer that these individuals were more likely to drive through the structural reforms and debt reduction that was necessary. Afterthis point it became possible for governments to agree on a Europe-wide policy on the terms and timetable for deficit and debt reduction.The subsequent launch of the Long Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO), by the European Central Bank, in December, was anotherpivotal moment. This calmed fears in the market that there could be a liquidity crisis in 2012, as both banks and sovereign governmentshad significant amounts of debt that would mature and require refinancing: access to the LTRO would cover this. This led to a strong rallyinto mid-March as it became clear that the market had cut its economic and profit forecasts by too much and that the reality was ratherbetter. In mid-March some of the leading economic indicators in both Europe and the US started to show some signs of weakness, whichled to a sell-off into the end of April.

When examining the fund’s performance over the period, the stated numbers show the fund underperforming its benchmark, howeverafter adjusting for timing differences between midday pricing and an index calculated at close of day, the fund actually outperformed. Thisoutperformance was aided by the fund’s overweight position in consumer discretionary stocks, principally automobiles. Against the peergroup the fund did less well, due to its contrarian overweight position in the poor performing banks sector, where the peer group wereunderweight.

OutlookThe valuation multiples on the market and make-up of recent sector performance suggest that the market is consumed by fear. Thepremium being paid for high quality companies looks very high. Despite recent setbacks in some European economic data we believe thatthe global growth environment is still supportive of a rising equity market. Political fears will continue to check the market’s overallprogress, but valuations suggest a lot of negative news-flow is already priced in.

Investment Objectives, Policy and StrategyTo achieve long term capital growth through the active management of a diversified portfolio invested primarily in a broad range of globalequities.



The Global Equity Fund is a diversified portfolio managed using a quantitative approach to generate long term capital growth. The fund isnot subject to geographical restraints, although in practice it does not tend to invest in those markets or countries not represented in theMSCI World Index.

ReviewEquity returns for the six months to the end of April 2012 were generally strongly positive as investor sentiment improved from the deeppessimism seen in the summer of 2011. The returns have come at a time of significant volatility as investors reacted to a changing macroenvironment. The major theme throughout global equities remains the fluid nature of European political and liquidity risk. The Europeanagreement in October 2011 detailing banking recapitalisation and an increase the size of the bailout in Europe sparked the rally. This wascontinued in the first two months of 2012 with the European Central Bank seeing through a successful second round of the Long-TermRefinancing Operation, providing around E500 billion in additional liquidity. This removed the threat of any immediate credit crisis in theEuropean banking system. More broadly, data and policy announcements in the US, Germany and China pointed to a more positive skewin the economic picture. A note of caution appeared towards the end of the period as old fears regarding a Euro break up andcommensurate instability in the European banking system came to the fore. This coincided with weaker leading indicators in both Europeand the US.

The fund performed extremely well in the six months to the end of April, continuing a period of very strong returns relative to both peergroup and index. As we would expect, given the stock selection nature of the fund, stock picking rather than sector selection droveperformance over the period. Stock selection was particularly strong in the areas of industrials and consumer staples. The use of multiplestock selection strategies has been very well rewarded over the period, with all strategies utilised to spot investment opportunitiesperforming well. In particular returns to stocks showing good management decision-making and those enjoying analyst support performedwell over the period.

OutlookPerformance of the portfolio is strong over the short and medium term. However the environment remains challenging for equities ingeneral as we work through a period of political, economic and financial uncertainty. The portfolio remains well placed to weather thestorm given the diverse investment tools utilised, together with strong risk management.

Investment Objectives, Policy and StrategyTo produce an attractive level of income together with capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of fixed and variable ratebond investments, including convertible securities. The fund will vary the currencies in which it invests to enable it to achieve its objective.

Subject to the regulations, the property of the fund may include transferable securities, units in collective investment schemes (includingthose managed or operated by the ACD or an associate of the ACD), warrants, money market instruments, deposits and derivatives.More than 35% in value of the property of the fund may consist of Government and other public securities issued by one issuer inaccordance with the investment management and borrowing powers of the Company set out in Appendix 2.

The fund will be permitted to use derivatives for investment purposes; the net asset value of this fund may therefore, at times, be highlyvolatile and the risk profile of this fund may change. The aim of the fund is to produce an attractive level of income together with capitalappreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of fixed and variable rate bond investments, including convertible securities. The fundwill vary the currencies in which it invests to enable it to achieve its objective.

ReviewEurozone events continued to drive sentiment. Risks of a country exiting the union increased, raising questions on how the singlecurrency could operate without fiscal and political union. European leaders agreed a ‘Fiscal Compact’ and the European central bankannounced near unlimited liquidity to the banking system, aiming to prevent another ‘credit crunch’. This act set the tone for a sharprecovery in risk assets for January 2012 (reversing declines from the third and fourth quarters in 2011).

Central banks extended loose policy at varying rates. The US Federal Reserve implied interest rates would remain low until at least 2014,the Bank of England increased quantitative easing whilst the Bank of Japan proceeded with a record stimulus programme. Economicindicators were mixed. The US outpaced all developed markets, while Germany proved resilient given the sharp declines in output acrossthe rest of the European region. More recent data have shown cooling, but still expansionary data from Asia.

Over the period, core government bonds (US, UK, Japan, German) increased in price terms – marking new record low yields. Corporatebonds recovered from the lows of October 2011, however liquidity remains tempered. Investors significantly increased risk, as measuredby credit default swaps (a way of insuring risk on corporate bonds). Equity markets followed a similar pattern. In currencies, sterling wasthe strongest and the euro the weakest in trade-weighted terms. Commodity-linked currencies fell in line with commodity markets, whicheased over the period (with the exception of oil and soybean which were both affected by supply-side issues).

The fund returned -1.28% net through the six month period. Corporate paper delivered positive returns. Duration – the fund’s sensitivity tointerest rates – produced mixed results, with positive returns from short positioning in US government bonds and losses from German andUK government bonds. Currency was the largest drag to performance, as sterling gained across major trading peers.

OutlookMajor hurdles face the global economy. Elections and politics in Europe (and the US) add undesired flux to markets. Eurozone sentimenthas clearly deteriorated. Austerity fatigue is driving politicians to ‘Plan B’ – but it is capital markets that will ultimately determine the ‘growthversus austerity’ debate. The US continues to overspend on the public budget, but it is the least bad option with the additional benefit ofbeing the world’s reserve currency. For now, away from our longer-term structural views, we favour long-dated government bonds issuedby the US and Germany, hold the euro and allocate to the US dollar and the yen.

Risk WarningPlease remember that past performance is not a guide to future performance. The price of shares and the income from them may godown as well as up. You may not get back the amount you invest. The fund may not be suitable for everyone and if in doubt you shouldseek advice from your financial adviser. Bond funds are affected by changes (real or anticipated) in the rate of inflation or interest rates,which may cause returns on bonds to be more or less attractive. Investment in corporate bonds brings an increased risk of default andmay affect the capital value of the fund.

Investment Objectives, Policy and StrategyTo achieve an above average return through the active management of a diversified portfolio invested in the Japanese stock markets,whilst constraining the overall level of portfolio risk.



The Japanese Select Fund is a core Japanese equity fund managed using OMAM’s proprietary quantitative investment process.

The fund aims to generate long term capital growth through an actively managed, diversified portfolio of listed Japanese equities.

ReviewJapanese equity returns for the six months to the end of April 2012 were strongly positive as investor sentiment improved from the deeppessimism seen in the summer of 2011. The Japanese economy however remains mixed. The consumer side, surprisingly, is relativelypositive. The labour market is holding up quite well and recent figures for household spending reversed the downward trend. GDPhowever continued to decline in the fourth quarter and trade was in deficit for the first time in over 30 years. Automotive production wasstronger in the first quarter, though still well below its pre-recession peaks, while industrial production is struggling to recover. Businessconfidence surveys indicate a stable outlook. The major theme throughout global equities, and an unavoidable impact on Japaneseinvestor sentiment, remains the fluid nature of European political and liquidity risk. The European agreement in October 2011 detailingbanking recapitalisation and an increase the size of the bailout in Europe sparked the global rally. This was continued in the first twomonths of 2012 with the European Central Bank seeing through a successful second round of the Long-Term Refinancing Operation,providing around E500 billion in additional liquidity. This removed the threat of any immediate credit crisis in the European banking system.More broadly, data and policy announcements in the US, Germany and China pointed to a more positive skew in the economic picture. Anote of caution appeared towards the end of the period as old fears regarding a Euro break up and commensurate instability in theEuropean banking system came to the fore. This coincided with weaker leading indicators in both Europe and the US.

The fund performed well in the six months to the end of April, continuing a period of very strong returns relative to both peer group andindex. As we would expect, given the stock selection nature of the fund, stock picking rather than sector selection drove performance overthe period. Stock selection was particularly strong in the areas of healthcare and consumer discretionary. The use of multiple stockselection tools has been very well rewarded over the longer term, as tools tend to work in different areas and at different times of theeconomic and business cycle. The current six months have seen strong returns to cheaper stocks from expensive ones and those stocksenjoying analyst support performed well over the period.

OutlookOutlook Performance of the portfolio is strong over the short and medium term. The environment remains challenging for equities ingeneral as we work through a period of political, economic and financial uncertainty. The portfolio remains well placed to weather thestorm given the diverse investment tools utilised, together with strong risk management.

MSCI North American Index 11.2% 6.41% 21.10% 9.59% -18.97% 7.43%


Investment Objectives, Policy and StrategyTo achieve long term capital growth through the active management of a diversified portfolio invested primarily in North American stockmarkets.

Subject to the regulations, the property of the fund may include transferable securities, shares in collective investment schemes (includingthose managed or operated by the ACD or an associate of the ACD), warrants, money market instruments, deposits and derivatives.


The fund is designed to generate long term capital appreciation through a diversified portfolio of investments in North America, primarilythe United States. The portfolio is managed using an active quantitative process which employs a number of ‘return factors’ to generatereturn forecasts for each stock in the investment universe. Holdings are drawn primarily from the MSCI North America Index.

ReviewEquity returns for the six months to the end of April 2012 were generally strongly positive as investor sentiment improved from the deeppessimism seen in the summer of 2011. The returns have come at a time of significant volatility as investors reacted to a changing macroenvironment. The major theme throughout global equities remains the fluid nature of European political and liquidity risk. The Europeanagreement in October 2011 detailing banking recapitalisation and an increase the size of the bailout in Europe sparked the rally. This wascontinued in the first two months of 2012 with the European Central Bank seeing through a successful second round of the Long-TermRefinancing Operation, providing around E500 billion in additional liquidity. This removed the threat of any immediate credit crisis in theEuropean banking system. More broadly, data and policy announcements in the US, Germany and China pointed to a more positive skewin the economic picture. A note of caution appeared towards the end of the period as old fears regarding a Euro break up andcommensurate instability in the European banking system came to the fore. This coincided with weaker leading indicators in both Europeand the US.

The fund performed well in the six months to the end of April, continuing a period of very strong returns relative to both peer group andindex. As we would expect, given the stock selection nature of the fund, stock picking rather than sector selection drove performance overthe period. Stock selection was particularly strong in the areas of industrials and consumer staples. The use of multiple stock selectiontools has been very well rewarded over the longer term, as tools tend to work in different areas and at different times of the economic andbusiness cycle. The current six months have seen strong returns to cheaper stocks from expensive ones and those stocks enjoyinganalyst support performed well over the period.

OutlookPerformance of the portfolio is strong over the short and medium term. The environment remains challenging for equities in general as wework through a period of political, economic and financial uncertainty. The portfolio remains well placed to weather the storm given thediverse investment tools utilised, together with strong risk management.

Investment Objectives, Policy and StrategyTo achieve long term capital growth through the active management of a diversified portfolio invested primarily in a broad range of UKequities.

Subject to the regulations, the property of the fund may include transferable securities; units in collective investment schemes (includingthose managed or operated by the ACD or an associate of the ACD), warrants, money market instruments, deposits and derivatives. Thefund will initially only use derivatives for EPM purposes.

The fund may use derivatives for purposes other than Efficient Portfolio Management, provided it has given shareholders 60 days noticeof such change. If the fund did use derivatives for investment purposes, the net asset value of the fund would therefore, at times, be highlyvolatile and the risk profile of the fund might change.

The UK Select Equity Fund is an actively managed fund aiming to provide capital growth from investment in a broad-based portfolio of UKcompanies. The fund aims to outperform the IMA UK All Companies sector average over rolling 12-month periods.

ReviewAfter the difficulties of the previous six months, the UK equity market made a welcome return to positive territory in the six months to endApril 2012, rising 6.3%. The majority of gains came in the New Year following the successful attempt by the European Central Bank torelieve pressure on the banking system through the announcement of the Long Term Refinancing Operation. Economic momentum in theUS accelerated encouragingly post the autumn 2011 lull whilst data from Europe and Asia were more muted. Company financialperformance remained robust with regional variations matching those of the broader economic environment.

Our decision to maintain a cyclical bias to the portfolio, as noted previously, proved beneficial as the fund rose 9.8%, comfortablyoutperforming both the benchmark and the peer group. Leading contributors to performance included industrial cyclical businesses suchas Ashtead, Wolseley and Spectris, whilst financial holdings such as SVG Capital and Barclays Bank also contributed positively. We alsobenefitted from not owning supermarket group Tesco whose shares suffered post a significant profit warning. Detractors to performanceincluded our investments in restaurant chain Restaurant Group, pay TV operator BSkyB, kitchens business Howden Joinery and by notowning beverage company Diageo.

In recognition of the strength of performance from many of our cyclical holdings we took a significant amount of profits towards the end ofthe period. Complete disposals included Spectris, Ashtead, Inchcape, ITV, Filtrona and Weir Group. The proceeds were used to introducenew investments to the portfolio which typically operate in less economically sensitive areas of the market including Glaxosmithkline(pharmaceuticals), Lancashire and Amlin (non-life insurance) and utility business National Grid. Other additions to the fund included OphirEnergy, Compass group, DS Smith and banking group HSBC.

OutlookWe remain positive on the outlook for UK equities from current levels and believe the economic and profit cycles have further to run.However, mindful of the recent strength in the equity market together with near-term uncertainty concerning elections in Europe and somemoderation in the pace of macro-economic growth momentum, we would not be surprised if indices continued to consolidate in the shorterterm. However with the corporate sector in good financial health, earnings continuing to grow this year and UK equities sitting at what westill consider to be very attractive valuation levels, we believe it is appropriate to maintain a constructive stance towards UK equities intothe medium term.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of accountingThe financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investments, incompliance with the Financial Service Authority’s Collective Investment Schemes Sourcebook. They have been prepared in accordancewith applicable accounting standards and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for Financial Statementsof Authorised Funds issued by the IMA in October 2010.

Aggregated statementsThe aggregated financial statements represents the sum of the individual funds within the umbrella company. Further analysis ofdistribution and the net asset position can be found on the financial statements of the individual funds.

RevenueDividends on equities and distributions on unit trust holdings are recognised when the relevant securities are quoted ex-dividend orexdistribution. Interest, underwriting commission and other income are accounted for on an accruals basis and the rules for EffectiveInterest Rate (EIR) accounting as outlined in the SORP. Underwriting commission is recognised when the issue takes place.

Special dividendsSpecial dividends are treated as repayments of capital or income depending on the circumstances surrounding the dividend. Wherespecial dividends are taken to capital they are disclosed as realised gains on investments during the period.

Scrip dividendsThe ordinary element of stocks received in lieu of cash are recognised as income. Any enhancement above the cash dividend is taken tocapital and disclosed as realised gains on investments.

Management expensesManagement expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis.

DistributionsAmounts distributable are calculated after charging all of the ACD’s periodic charge and all other expenses except those of a capitalnature. Interest distributions will be made on an Effective Interest Rate (EIR) basis.

Basis of valuation of investmentsThe valuation point is 12.00 noon on the last business day of the accounting period. Quoted investments are valued at the market bidprice net of any accrued interest which is included in the balance sheet as an income-related item.

Foreign currenciesAssets and liabilities have been translated into sterling at the mid-market exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Where forward positions incurrencies are held, these are translated at the appropriate forward rate. Any resulting exchange differences are disclosed as Other gains/(losses) in the Statement of Total Return.

TaxationCorporation tax is charged at 20% of the income liable to Corporation tax less expenses.

Deferred taxDeferred tax is provided for on a full liability basis for all timing differences. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it canbe regarded as more likely than not that there will be sufficient suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlyingtiming differences can be deducted.

Forward foreign exchange contractsForward foreign exchange contracts are used in order to hedge against currency exchange rate movements on underlying investments inoverseas bonds. The difference between the forward and spot and movement in the spot rate are taken to the capital account.

SharesWhere a fund has more than one share class, each class may incur different expenses. Consequently the level of net revenue available toeach share class may differ.

Allocation of Revenue and Expenses to Multiple Share ClassesWith the exception of the annual management charge, which is directly attributable to individual Share Classes, all revenue and expensesare allocated to Share Classes pro rata to the value of the net assests of the relevant Share Class on the day the revenue or expense isrecognised.

Individual Savings AccountsFrom 6 April 1999, each fund has been managed so as to ensure that it is a qualifying investment for the stocks and shares component ofan Individual Savings Account, within the Individual Savings Account (‘ISA’) Regulations 1999.

Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT)

What is SDRT?SDRT is a tax charge levied by HM Revenue & Customs on the disposal or switching of shares in an OEIC. The tax is charged whenshares are sold back to the ACD (Authorised Corporate Director), or when there is a non-exempt transfer of an investment. SDRT ischarged at the maximum rate of 0.5% on eligible investments (although this figure may be reduced depending on the investments in andnumber of issues and surrenders applicable to the fund). If applicable, SDRT is paid to HM Revenue & Customs on the 14th of the monthfollowing the monthly charging period.

When is SDRT charged?SDRT will be charged to redemptions of shares where the transaction is 2% or greater of the value of the fund as at the date of thetransaction. The charge will be at a rate appropriate to the fund concerned, by reference to the proportion of exempt and non-exemptassets used in the calculation for the previous month.

ACD’s policy on charging SDRTExcept for SDRT on larger deals and on non-exempt transfers between third parties OMFM intends that any liability to SDRT will be borneby the fund concerned.

For further information on the application of SDRT please refer to the full prospectus which is available on request from the ACD.
