Half-Yearly Report
Half Year Returns:
The results for the first half of the year are contained in the tables on the
preceding two pages and can be summarised as follows:
NAV: -33.2% to 375.54p per share;
Share Price: -28.3% to 345p;
Benchmark: -32.7% (FTSE All-Share Index)
These results are obviously very disappointing indeed to shareholders. This
half year report seeks to explain the circumstances of such a sharp decline in
the net asset value, to report a degree of caution about the shorter term
prospects but to offer longer term optimism once the causes of the current
financial crisis have been resolved.
Stock Market & Portfolio Review:
In one of the worst bear markets for decades, the UK stock market fell over 30%
in the first half of our financial year. The outlook for the global economy
deteriorated considerably as the severe problems in the banking system led to a
sharp slowdown in borrowing, curtailing consumer spending and business
investment. The deepening recession is also causing a sharp decline in
corporate profits. The fall in commodity prices has resulted in a moderation in
inflation, which allowed the world's central banks to announce a series of
interest rate cuts in addition to economic stimulus packages; so far, however,
these measures have failed to trigger any recovery but it will take time for
such measures to take effect.
The Bank of England reduced interest rates on six consecutive occasions
starting in October reaching a record low rate of 0.5% in March and it recently
announced an unprecedented asset purchase programme; as a consequence the US
dollar value of sterling tumbled, declining from over $2 to the pound down to
circa $1.40. In the near term, equity markets are expected to remain volatile
with investment confidence likely to be influenced by economic developments and
government action.
The nature of the Manager's approach to the management of the portfolio is to
identify sectors and stocks that are considered to be materially undervalued.
In normal circumstances, as share prices fall they tend to become more
attractively valued - some more so than others depending on their individual
circumstances. The crash in the stock market over the period, with stocks on
average losing about a third of their value, has thrown up a lot of
opportunities, some of which the Manager took advantage.
The very broad base of the bear market meant that there was nowhere for equity
investors to hide from declining share prices; indeed in our portfolio of well
over 100 holdings, only four registered positive returns, those in the shares
of Experian (a credit reference company), BSkyB, Marks & Spencer and Amlin (a
Lloyds underwriter). Our investments in the media, travel & leisure, gambling
and catering fared relatively better than the averages.
However inevitably there were some mistakes made as the fall in share prices of
certain sectors and stocks reflected the depth of their underlying problems,
the extent of which was such that the lower share prices proved to be - to use
stock market jargon - a "value trap" instead of a "value opportunity". Our
investments in the media and particularly in the banking sectors proved to be
very costly, none more so than our holding in Lloyds Banking Group.
There were other influences on the performance of the net asset value. We used
derivatives, including the ability to sell short selected stocks in order to
benefit from share price falls and to buy put options to help shield the
Company's portfolio from the broad-based stock market decline, to offset the
declines suffered elsewhere and that helped alleviate the decline in the value
of the portfolio. However we remained overinvested throughout the period with
net borrowings of 3.4% of shareholders' equity at the beginning of the half
year and 10.8% at the end; that exacerbated the decline in the net asset value.
Outlook:
There can be no doubt that the current economic and financial circumstances are
very grave indeed with far reaching consequences likely to evolve for some time
to come. At present it is impossible to forecast with any degree of confidence
how the next year or two will develop, so we are not in a position to offer any
short term optimism. The best one can say is that stock markets are likely to
remain very volatile with marked movements on both the upside and downside.
In the longer term, however, the enormous and broadly based overindebtedness of
consumers, banks and governments will be reduced as savings rise and borrowings
are paid down. In the circumstances of a sounder economic and financial
environment, Fidelity's proven ability to manage portfolios profitably provides
the prospects of good long-term returns for shareholders.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Board believes that the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the
Company continue to fall into two broad categories. The first, external risks,
being stock market, share price and discount and the second, internal risks,
being portfolio and governance, operational, financial, compliance,
administration etc. Information on each of these is given in the Business
Review section of the Annual Report for the year ended 31 August 2008.
