Report as of 31 Jul 2017 Kleinwort Benson Elite International Equity Fund A GBP Reinvest Morningstar Rating™ Morningstar® Category QQQQQ Global Large-Cap Blend Equity Investment Objective The Fund seeks to maximise capital growth over the medium to long term through a diversified portfolio of predominantly international equity based securities. Fund Manager Commentary Global equities provided a solid positive return during July from the perspective of a GBP investor, but with marked differences in performance between sectors. Materials and Energy stocks rebounded strongly, having been weak in recent periods. Mining stocks in particular gained on renewed pricing strength and otherwise positive earnings announcements. The Fund maintains modest positions in these areas, in part due to the higher volatility of mining stocks, yet the recent addition of Avery Denison generated a sector-beating return after raising its full year outlook. Financials were also strong over the period, with the Insurance subsector outperforming; the Fund maintains an overweight stance through European insurers. The Fund’s bank stocks lagged the market, however, with renewed weakness from Wells Fargo and underperformance from Mizuho Financial. Information Technology also gained. It is notable that the Fund does not currently hold any of the higher-profile tech stocks (Amazon, Facebook, Google) that have garnered much attention of late, yet the Fund’s technology holdings outperformed in July. Internet payments processor Wirecard was the standout, returning +18% for the month. Looking ahead, we intend to review our positioning for potential adjustments to the portfolio after the earnings reporting calendar begins to wind down in late August.
