2013 UPDATE AND OUTLOOK

Increasing risk appetite• Current markets favour stock pickers, albeit for mid-caps to date• Greater dispersion at the stock level• Western economies set for prolonged period of below average growth• “The Great Rotation” is believed to be starting

Portfolio themes• Technology• Considering oil stocks amidst commodity stocks sell-off• Value opportunities remain in very small companies• M&A pick-up• AIM enjoying new potential (could inclusion of AIM within ISAs be a catalyst?)

Recent portfolio turnover• Added large cap beta• Some profits taken on AIM names• Technology is a strong theme, no exposure to Banks, limited value in domestic UK cyclicals

POTENTIALLY MORE UPSIDE TO AIM.
