Fund Manager's Comments

We altered the portfolio very little during May, maintaining the broadly
defensive disposition of assets.  There was one transaction though,
insignificant when considered alone, that illustrates our current attitude to
capital markets.  One of the Trust's HBOS preference shares, currently offering
a net dividend yield of 6.5%, went ex-dividend at the start of the month.  Not
surprisingly the price of the stock fell by the amount of the dividend, or
3.25%.  We immediately bought additional shares in the same issue to the exact
monetary value of the dividend we will receive.  In this way, when the stock
goes ex its next dividend, in six months, we will earn an annualised return of
6.5% on a position 3.25% bigger than last time, a payment that, in turn, we
intend to reinvest in the same way, unless a better idea presents.  Effectively,
we are compounding the return for this portion of the portfolio at 6.5%.  From
shareholders' perspective we believe this is attractive.  HBOS is a sound issuer
and the return is way in excess of inflation, our benchmark and the cost of
borrowing.  This last measure is especially relevant, because the 10.5% we hold
in HBOS preference shares matches, give or take, the Trust's gearing.  We hope
to benefit from the positive cost of carry on the stocks and at some stage to
enjoy a capital gain, if other investors come to appreciate these assets, which
would generate an even more satisfactory annualised total return.  On the other
hand, 6.5% is far from a double-digit reward and it might be argued that we have
allocated too much capital to an intrinsically low returning asset.

We acknowledge the point, or more particularly, recognise a risk that we will
fail to build our exposure to riskier assets, namely stocks, in a timely
fashion.  As this note is written most world equity markets, with the exception
of Japan, have fallen year-to-date, several by ten per cent or more, including
the S&P 500 and the Bloomberg European 500.  It is likely that the Trusts' NAV
will be little changed over the same period, although it will be down.  To this
extent, then, we believe the portfolio structure has proven appropriate to
immediate circumstances, if not ideal.  Our challenge will be to withdraw from
the security of our fixed interest assets, probably at a time when to do so will
seem the height of imprudence.  This is a nettle already grasped, because we
have been prepared to add to existing equity positions into recent weakness,
including more Reuters and Nintendo, although this has not changed the shape of
the whole.  Moreover, we have a list of 7 companies in which we would like to
build positions, commencing at prices not so far from those prevailing.

In the interim, though, we are unwilling to quit our bonds.  We still expect
investors to pay higher prices for the certainty of real return offered by
government bonds.  This conviction is reinforced by the satisfactory performance
of the inflation-linked US government bonds in the Trust.  The Dollar capital
value of the Trust's TIP, 7.5% of gross assets, has risen 4.7% this year to a
new high for the stock, excepting a brief spike last September.  This has
brought the yield to maturity down to 3.2% per annum real, from over 4.3% in the
first quarter of 2000.  This fall in the required real yield, reflects, in our
view, increasing concerns about the security of long-term returns from competing
assets, most notably stocks, with NASDAQ falling by 70% over the same period.
We believe real yields on the TIP can fall further, promising further gains in
value, with the 1.5% registered on the longest UK index-linked gilt a distant
objective.  Meantime, we expect investors to wake eventually to the reality of
non-existent pricing power for US corporations and to bid up the price of
conventional bonds.  John Lonski, the chief economist at Moody's Investor
Service noted recently 'We're seeing pricing pressures of a severity that we
have never seen before.'  Certainly, the prices of total finished goods in the
US have fallen by 2.0% over the past 12 months, while prices for core consumer
goods have dropped 1.0%.  These are the sharpest declines since the 1960s, at a
time when the economy is supposed to be emerging from recession and when at a
comparable stage of recovery, in 1991, consumer prices were rising at 3.9%
annualised.  We still expect to be offered the opportunity to reduce our US bond
holdings at yields of 4%.

We had encouraging meetings with the managements of a number of our holdings
last month.  The stewards of Glenmorangie (5.2% of Trust assets) and A G Barr
(5.3%) confirmed the growth opportunities for their brands.  The Finance
Director of the former noted that he had endorsed a capital expenditure of
£500,000, which paltry sum nonetheless increases his capacity to distil
Glenmorangie, a product with an IRR of nearly 30%, by a quarter.  Robin Barr
outlined his strategy to lift Barr's share of the English non-cola carbonated
drinks market from its current 3.0% to 10.0%, a process which we believe will
create substantive value for the company's owners.  Trading is predictably tough
for Reuters (3.4%) and in hindsight we committed too early to this investment.
However, we were impressed that the order book at Reuters' software consultancy
unit is at an all-time high, as its customers seek ways to streamline their
businesses.  We believe Reuters is best understood not as an information
provider, now a commodity service, but as a provider of business solutions to
the investment banking community and thus competing with systems designers, such
as Oracle and IBM.  This is little comfort in the present industry climate, but
suggests that the valuation to be placed on Reuters' eventually recovering
earnings can remain high.  Finally, we were gratified to read the following
extract from a piece of research by Morgan Stanley, reporting on the recent E3
Game Show in Los Angeles, the world's largest.  'Huge crowds flocked to catch a
glimpse of the updated versions of classic Nintendo franchises...for the
GameCube; these four titles without exaggeration stole the show at the Expo.'
We share the judgement of Nintendo's management (4.0%) that the so-called
console war will be won by the system that provides the most sought-after games.
  Gamers want to play Nintendo titles and they will not find them anywhere else
but on the GameCube.
