Manager's Review

The FTSE All - Share TR Index (£) returned -11.80% in the three months ended 30 June 2010 as risk aversion continued among investors worried about a series of macro economic concerns, including poor US economic data, a slowdown in China and fears of a double-dip recession in the UK.

Against this backdrop, the Fund's NAV rose by 3.13%, whilst its share price increased by 5.39% to £1.76.
