Commentary December saw another good month for equity returns, capping off what has been a strong year for the asset class. The S&P 500 rose 1.1% in December, ending the year with a positive return for each month in 2017. The Euro Stoxx 600 TR rose 1.6%, and the FTSE All-Share TR 4.8%, led by the more international FTSE 100. The Fund rose 1.4% in December, although underperformed the benchmark. Relative to the benchmark, the Fund underperformed due to no exposure to Materials, and being underweight Financials. The largest contributor to performance was BP, contributing 0.35%. Energy was the best performing sector for the Fund, contributing 0.60% to performance. Oil prices have been strong in the second half of the year, with Brent oil up 16% for the year. We have added to the fund’s holdings in the oil sector within the last 6 months. Sky also performed well, contributing 0.28% to performance, as its share price was up 8% during the month as The Walt Disney Company announced its intent to acquire 21st Century Fox, with Disney saying they want to own all of Sky. The biggest detractor from performance was KDDI, a Japanese telecommunication company, which detracted 0.30%. KDDI’s share price fell almost 13% in December following news that Rakuten plans to become Japan’s fourth major mobile-phone operator. The covered call overlay strategy was a slight detractor in December, detracting -0.09% from performance. The put protection strategy detracted -0.18% from performance as equity markets remained strong.

Past performance is not a guide to the future. The price of investments and the income from them may fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Total Fund returns are calculated on a NAV-NAV basis net income reinvested and are shown net of all fees. Source: RWC, FTSE
