Outlook
The economic data is improving for a number of regions but headwinds remain
The strength of the economic recovery is increasingly a political choice
Governments: Will we have austerity or stimulus? Answer depends on politics and the bond market. Central banks: Will we have QE or tapering? Answer depends on who is the Fed Chairman, the strength of the recovery and the bond market Governments and central banks are in control until the bond market or electorate revolt

But for some countries the choice is not their own


Peripheral Europe is dependent on the EC (and German politics) EM countries with current account deficits are dependent on the US

We are focusing on stocks where controllable factors are driving returns

For Private Client Portfolios the minimum portfolio size for inclusion in any Composite was 250,000 prior to 27th May 2011. The Composite is comprised of accounts which invest in a concentrated portfolio of developed equities, principally within countries of the MSCI EAFE Index. The agreements in place allow for up to 20% to be invested opportunistically in emerging market equities. The composite includes those portfolios impacted by custody restrictions. The Composite also includes portfolios benchmarked against the MSCI Eafe plus Emerging Index, which allows a greater degree of investment in Emerging Market equities. Some accounts within the composite are run within an ex-ante tracking error ranges of 6 - 9 and 4 - 10.

To be included in the composite, each account must be managed with a similar mandate for at least one full month.
Net-of-fee performance for the Firm is calculated at the constituent account level and deducted monthly using actual client fee schedules. Where the actual fee is not appropriate for the recipients of this presentation, Investment Trusts, Mutual Funds, other Common Investment Funds apply a "Model Fee". For UK based Onshore and Offshore Funds, prior to 1st January 2012 this comprised the equivalent standard institutional Fee Scale, which was the maximum fee scale that Institutional clients would be charged for this product. Rebates apply to any Institutional clients invested in Common Investment Funds; therefore after rebates were applied this was the maximum fee scale payable by segregated Institutional Clients investing in this Composite Strategy. From 1st January 2012 this changed to the Institutional Share Class flat fee rate, to which rebates also apply, therefore this was the maximum fee payable by Institutional Investors in the fund. For North American commingled funds the fee applied was the maximum payable by participants in the fund prior to 1st January 2012, and a fee weighted by the rate paid by each participant in the fund from 1st January 2012. Composite net-of-fee performance reflects the weighted average of constituent account net-of-fee returns. Based on the above and taking into account individual fee arrangements the fee deducted over the last 12 months to the stated reporting date for the composite was 0.70%.

As at the reporting date all portfolios in the Composite reinvest capital gains and income (including dividends and other earnings).

This document has been produced for, and is intended for receipt by, professional investors/advisers and must not be relied on by any other category of recipient. This document may include forward-looking statements, which are based upon our current opinions, expectations and projections. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Calculation of Gross Returns. Returns are gross of advisory fees, net of transaction costs, and include the reinvestment of dividends. If the expenses were reflected, the performance shown would be lower. Actual fees are described in Part 2A of [Adviser]s Form ADV and will vary depending on, among other things, the applicable fee schedule and account size. For example, if $100,000 were invested and experienced a 10% annual return compounded monthly for 10 years, its ending value, without giving effect to the deduction of advisory fees, would be $270,704 with annualized compounded return of 10.47%. If an advisory fee of 0.95% of the average market value of the account were deducted monthly for the 10-year period, the annualized compounded return would be 9.43% and the ending dollar value would be $246,355.
