Material Events or transactions

Equity markets continued the rally that began in June following the Greek
elections and the renewed efforts by European politicians and bankers to
support the ailing Euro. Employment and housing data from the US showed a mild
improvement consistent with a gradual pick-up in economic activity whilst
Chinese growth also showed renewed signs of life following a slack period
earlier in the year. A decisive election in Japan promised action on both the
currency and debt levels to which markets responded by a sharp sell-off in the
Yen. Bond markets in countries such as Greece, Portugal and Spain all rallied
strongly carrying equity markets with them. In the UK, employment data
continued to reflect a somewhat better economic picture than GDP data, although
the distortions caused by the Jubilee holidays and Olympic Games may have
masked an underlying picture of a slight improvement in economic activity in
the second half of the year. UK equities trended higher along with other global
markets although most progress was made in the mid cap and small cap areas of
the market in the final quarter. Mining stocks moved sharply higher as a result
of the better news from China after a dismal period in the first half of 2012;
this also reflected a general rotation in the market away from defensive
sectors such as Pharmaceuticals, Telecoms and Integrated Oil& Gas towards more
economically sensitive areas such as Financials, Insurance and Industrials,
clearly in the anticipation of renewed global growth coming through in 2013. At
the end of the year, markets stuttered briefly over fears that the US would
fall off its `fiscal cliff' through a logjam in Congress but at the last minute
an agreement was reached to stave off this eventuality. Further problems loom
at the end of February, however, over the need to reconcile the current debt
ceiling with the current scheduled expenditure programmes so a further round of
anxiety ahead of these negotiations must be anticipated.

In 4Q 2012, the Company's NAV and share price returned 1.8% and 2.3%
respectively. The Core Portfolio returned 3.6% with its performance mainly
driven by a recovery in the mining sector and a rally in Banks and Industrials.
The investment in the UCITS Javelin Capital Emerging Markets Alpha Fund was
down by 1.99% over the quarter.

Majedie Asset Management (MAM) paid a final 2012 dividend to the Company of £
1.13 million in December 2012, whilst the Company itself raised £686,000
through the sale of MAM stock to the MAM Employee Benefit Trust.

The Company consolidated its investment in the former QIF fund, which was
redeemed in September 2012, into the new UCITS Javelin Capital Emerging Markets
Alpha fund in the autumn.

There have been no other material events or transactions that have taken place
between 31 December 2012 and the date of publication of this statement.
