Material Events or transactions
Equity markets were generally trendless during the second quarter of 2011 -
developed markets made a little headway but emerging markets gave up ground.
Japan was weak again, falling for the second consecutive quarter. There was a
late rally in Continental Europe as hopes rose for a settlement of the issue in
Greece as a new austerity package was voted through. Commodities and especially
oil headed downwards whilst defensive sectors such as Healthcare and Consumer
staples performed best.
In Q2 2011, the Company's NAV and share price returned -2.2% and -1.9%
respectively. The Core Portfolio returned 1.6% with its performance driven by
its exposure to defensive stocks. The investment in the Javelin Capital Global
Equity Strategies Fund fell by 2.3% in sterling terms.
A General Meeting of the Company was held on 29 June 2011 which approved a
further capital injection into Javelin Capital, of up to £3.5million in
aggregate, which also included various changes to the LLP agreement, and also
approved a change to the Company's investment policy and objective. Following
this approval a further £2.5million of additional capital was provided by the
Company to Javelin Capital LLP and in line with the new LLP agreement the
Company's initial stake increased to 75%.
Javelin Capital LLP has undertaken a restructuring as a consequence of the
extra capital and remains focussed on attracting external assets under
management.
There have been no other material events or transactions that have taken place
between 31 March 2011 and the date of publication of this statement.
