Children's Fund
December 2014
Covering the month of November 2014
Market commentary
The FTSE All-Share index generated a steady rise during November which marked a
return to a lower level of volatility. During November the latest industrial production
data was released which showed a gain of 0.6%. The retail sales volume, for October,
recorded a monthly rise of 0.8%. This followed a downward revision to the previous
month’s figure to a fall of 0.4%. A factor affecting these volumes has been the
warm autumn weather which has depressed clothing sales. Companies in the news
included Friends Life, Vodafone, BP and ESURE. Aviva announced that it was in talks
to buy Friends Life and these discussions did then lead to an agreement. Vodafone
announced interim results which showed a better sales performance than expected.
BP was in the news indirectly as it owns a stake in the Russian business TNK-BP
and this business has been affected by the weakness of the Russian rouble. ESURE
released an interim management statement in which it referred to tough market
conditions.
Fund Manager: Martin Walker
Fund strategy
Over the last three years the UK equity market has made a considerable recovery,
which we believe has allowed UK stock market valuations of companies to move
closer to fair value. Despite this we believe that corporate earnings can grow from
here, albeit at a modest pace and that through careful stock selection the fund
manager believes companies with good prospects can still be found for the portfolio.

Investment risks
The value of investments and any income
will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of
exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may
not get back the full amount invested.
The fund may use derivatives (complex
instruments) in an attempt to reduce the
overall risk of its investments, reduce the costs
of investing or generate additional capital or
income, although this may not be achieved.
The use of such complex instruments may
result in greater fluctuations of the value of the
fund. The Manager, however, will ensure that
the use of derivatives within the fund does not
materially alter the overall risk profile of the
fund.
