Searching for high returns and low riskBy John Kingham, Editor

This month’s new investment for the model portfolio is a good reminder of the goals that thisnewsletter has set out to achieve. It is not about disappearing into the depths of the small-capworld or the AIM index in search of decent returns. It is about getting more income and moregrowth than what is available from the FTSE 100, but without taking much - if any - additional riskand for the most part, sticking with FTSE 100 companies.

Too many investors fail to do well simply because they believe that they can get outstandingresults, and that the way to get those results is to invest in high risk companies. Perhaps thisattitude is beginning to change though. The dot-com bubble has long since burst and investorshave had generally poor capital gains in the last decade. Add to that the financial crisis that wehave gone through, and are still going through, and investors are beginning to see once again thebenefits of a focus on quality and dividend income.

I doubt that it will last though. At some point in the future a new bull market will begin in earnestand any interest in dividends and steady, above average growth will be left behind. It would be apity, as this type of strategy has been used over many decades by some of the world’s bestinvestors to beat their respective market’s over and over again. In my opinion it is likely to remainan outstanding strategy for a long time yet.

Market forecast and tactical asset allocationThe UK market maintains its cheap valuation

At 5,600, the FTSE 100 continues to move in the 5,000 to 6,000 range that it has been in since2009. With a long enough time horizon (and investors should typically have a horizon of more thanfive years) then a cheap market is a good thing because it means companies can be bought athistorically attractive prices.

It’s always important to remember that future returns move in the opposite direction to historic pricemovements. So if the index (or a share) goes up then future returns will be lower than they werebefore. This is why the model portfolio sells out of positions where the share price has moved upconsiderably.

I'm not going to say anything about where the market is going in the next year or so because quitefrankly, neither I nor anybody else knows. We can all guess and, much like guessing which side atossed coin will land, many people will be right, but they will be right only through luck. In the

FTSE 100 Range Description 7 Year Forecast Annual Returns(including dividends)

11,600 - 13,900 Bubble -3% to 0%

9,300 - 11,600 Bull Top 0% to 3%

6,900 - 9,300 Expensive 3% to 8%

5,800 - 6,900 Normal 8% to 10%

4,600 - 5,800 Cheap 10% to 14%

3,500 - 4,600 Bear Bottom 14% to 19%

2,300 - 3,500 Depression 19% to 26%

longer-term though, it is possible to make sensible forecasts like the ones in the table, even if weknow in advance that they will not be completely accurate.

You may have also noticed that at 5,600, the FTSE 100 is at exactly the same level, to the nearesthundred, as it was in last month’s issue. This means that not only is the market still in the same‘cheap’ range as last month, the tactical asset allocation numbers are the same too.

With the market slightly below its long-term average valuation, the equity allocations are slightlyabove the default level of 66%, because the market’s future returns are expected to be slightlyhigher than usual. You can see the tactical asset allocation ranges below.

Model portfolio reviewStaying ahead of the FTSE 100

Since the model portfolio began in March 2011 it has gained £1,250 in value beyond an equivalentFTSE 100 index tracker. That's 2.5% on the starting capital value of £50,000. As you wouldexpect from an income and growth portfolio, some of that has come from capital gains and somefrom income.

For example, in the last 12 months the model portfolio has generated an additional £562 fromdividends. That's an improvement of 33% over the yield of £1,705 from the index tracker. Thismeans that the portfolio is more or less on track with my expectations, which are to beat the FTSE100 by at least 3% a year in the medium and long-term.

Last month's sale of UTV Media netted a useful gain for the portfolio. With the shares purchasedat 104.75p on 6th December 2011 and sold for 148.42p on 5th July 2012, plus a dividend of 4.5pon 16th July, the total gain was around 43%, with annualised returns of almost 88%. Of course,annual returns of 88% are very welcome, but they are most definitely not normal. This was simplya case of being in the right place at the right time; luck in other words, with a helping hand from asensible strategy.

“Centrica is a top 30 FTSE100 company. Our vision is to be the leading integratedenergy company in our chosen markets in the UK and North America” - centrica.com

OverviewWhen Warren Buffet recently announced that he had invested in IBM, the response from mostinvestment pundits was a yawn at best. Investing in one of the world’s best known companies, onethat has long since reached maturity, is unlikely to get anybody excited. In the same way, addingCentrica - owners of the British Gas brand - to the model portfolio is likely to elicit much the sameresponse. However, that doesn’t mean it is not a good idea.

If you need any further anecdotal evidence that ‘boring’ companies can be attractive investments,then you might be pleased to know that a certain Neil Woodford - head of two highly successfulInvesco Perpetual income funds - is also an investor in this company, along with several otherholdings of the model portfolio.

Initial screeningThe UK Value Investor strategy is based around the idea that there are certain features that anyhigh quality company is going to have. These include a high long-term growth rate, the ability togenerate growth in profits and dividends in most years, a low valuation relative to past earnings, ahigh dividend yield and low levels of debt.

25 (out of 197)

Not all good investments will have all these features, but they will typically have some of them.Shares that don’t show at least some of these features are unlikely to be suitable for a low risk,income and growth strategy.

You can see the results for Centrica, along with its UKVI Rank above. In terms of the FTSE 100,which is the benchmark the portfolio is trying to beat, it does better in terms of growth and income,but worse in terms of valuation and consistency.

However, overall the combination of factors is much more attractive than the index, and whencombined they result in Centrica ranking 25th out of 197 FTSE 350 companies, far above the indexwhich still manages to come 73rd.

Investment checklistWith the quantitative factors looking attractive, it’s time to look at the business from a qualitativepoint of view.

Would this company be the first, or at most the second from this particularindustry in the portfolio?

Centrica would be the second energy utility business in the portfolio, joining SSE (formerly Scottishand Southern Energy).

Does the business generate earnings across multiple geographic regions?No, Centrica is mostly a UK business, so it is not particularly geographically diverse. However, it isnot in an economically sensitive industry so it is not particularly at risk from a UK based recessionlike the one we are currently in.

Does the business have diverse operations, including customers, suppliersand key staff?

The company has diverse operations in sourcing, recovering, generating, trading and supplying gasand energy and operates at all stages of the energy supply chain. It is not reliant on a small numberof suppliers, it has many millions of customers, and doesn’t have any obviously irreplaceablemembers of staff.

Is it in the leading group within its industry?Yes, centrica is the leading gas supplier in the UK and one of the leading energy companies.

Has the company been highly successful in the past?Yes, the growth and consistency numbers appear to be an accurate representation of the company’sfortunes; it has produced a good set of results over the last decade.

Does the company have any competitive advantages? Are they low cost anddurable?

Centrica’s main advantages appear to be size and brand. As the UK’s largest gas supplier and aleading energy company, it can use its size to produce economies of scale, and to gain access tohigh quality assets. In terms of brand, British Gas and Scottish Gas are very well known and arealmost the de facto choice for many people.

The size advantages is not low cost or durable; the company must continually work to maintain itssize advantage. The leading brands on the other hand are relatively low cost and durable

advantages. Although brands have to be advertised, the costs are nothing compared to the costs ofbuilding a leading brand in the first place.

Does the company have a consistent operating history within the sameindustry?

Yes, Centrica has been in the Gas and energy business for a long time (previously as British GasPLC).

Has the company been free of any major crises during the last decade? Ifthere were any, how were they solved and could they happen again?

There have been no major crises in the last decade.

Is the company free of obvious problems today which could materially impactits future prosperity?

This seems to be the case. Although the current economic climate is challenging, even for utilitycompanies, there are no obvious major threats at present.

Does it seem likely that the history of success can continue into the future formany years to come? Is there virtually no chance of its economic enginebecoming obsolete in the next decade?

Although there are many things changing in the energy industry today, from volatile commodityprices to decarbonisation on energy, there doesn’t seem to be an obvious reason why Centrica can’tcontinue much as it has in the past, growing at or above inflation for the foreseeable future.

As for obsolescence, that seems even less likely as power will be required in ever growing amountsfor as long as the population is growing in size and prosperity.

SummaryCentrica is the leading gas supplier in the UK through its Scottish Gas and British Gas brands. It hasoperations in the US and is active at every stage of the energy supply chain. It is a FTSE 100company in a defensive industry and so could be considered a relatively low risk equity investment.

It has grown earnings and dividends at around 14% a year over the last decade and has a currentdividend yield of about 5%, both of which are comfortably higher than the market average. Thedividend is well covered by earnings and the growth of both earnings and dividends has beenreasonably consistent over time.

Centrica will be added to the model portfolio shortly, with a weighting of approximately 1/30th of thetotal.
