August 2016 FUND NAME FINANCE FUND ESTIMATED PRICE ESTIMATED MONTH % CHANGE ESTIMATED YEAR TO DATE % CHANGE INCEPTION DATE 10.61 -15.12% -17.69% 2 Mar '06 USD ADMINISTRATOR Montrose Asset Management Limited Tel +44 1481 703193 [email protected] MONTHLY COMMENT August was a notably subdued month across financial markets, particularly in the US. Good UK economic data reduced fears of a Brexit led recession. In the US economic data was weak suggesting that short term interest rates are unlikely to rise as early as expected. CUSTODIAN Royal Bank of Canada (Channel Islands) Limited Tel: +44 1481 744000 Equity markets generally moved sideways during the month with the exception of a strong recovery in the European banking sector. In the US the S&P 500 index fell marginally by 0.1% leaving the year to date performance at +6.2%. In the UK the FTSE 100 index rose by 0.7% bringing the full year performance to +8.6%. Despite a recovery in the European markets of 1.1%, the region remains down by 7.5% for the year to date. In bond markets UK gilts were strong after the Bank of England extended its quantitative easing and asset purchase programmes. Corporate bond markets improved on the increase in oil prices. Currency markets were volatile following comments from Central banks. The surprisingly strong UK economic data supported Sterling, which rose against the US Dollar. The US Dollar was boosted against the Euro by the Federal Reserve Board’s comments during the middle of the month. Commodity markets were volatile. The US Dollar class of the Finance Fund fell by an estimated -15.12% for the month. Following analysis of information and pricing received from the underlying funds, it was resolved to make a number of provisions. These provisions reduced the estimated values of those underlying funds where flows of information were irregular and or where pricing updates were not readily available from either the fund manager, administrator or liquidator. As previously advised the Capricorn Finance Fund was suspended on 2 October 2008 and a managed wind down of the Fund is in place. An initial payment of 2.81% of the Fund’s suspension value was paid to all investors on 25 February 2009.A second payment was made to all shareholders on 12 June 2013 amounting to approximately 2.5% of the Fund’s estimated Net Asset Value. A third payment was made on 22 January 2014to all shareholders amounting to approximately 8.79% of the Fund’s estimated Net Asset Value. A fourth distribution of approximately 4.44% of the Net Asset Value of the Fund was made on 28th November 2014. A fifth distribution of approximately 0.92% of the Net Asset Value of the Fund (using the Net Asset Value as at the October 2008 suspension date) was made in September 2015. We are continuing to review secondary market options for the Capricorn Fund and maintain an active dialogue with potential buyers, who have reviewed the assets of the Fund.
