 The 12 months to end April were a challenging

period for Brazilian equities, with sentiment driven more by political developments than by corporate fundamental

 The dominant event of the period was October’s

presidential election. To the market’s dismay, the

  • utcome of the closely fought contest was a

preservation of the status quo

 The steep decline in natural resource prices in the

second half of 2014 was a further headwind for Brazil’s commodity-heavy market over the review period

 Against this turbulent backdrop, the trust’s net

asset value and share price underperformed the benchmark

cash needs

Conclusion

 Brazil continues to provide a challenging investment landscape. The country is going through a prolonged

economic recession but not a crisis.

 Politics remains centre-stage and has impacted sentiment  The Brazilian Real has weakened materially  Brazil’s GDP continues to be revised downward. The second half of the year is shaping up to be more

challenging than we first anticipated as the unemployment rate ticks up and real wage growth falls, but we believe we can continue to find attractive companies at all stages of the market cycle

 Our continued focus on economics, duration and governance, lead us towards high quality companies that we

believe are capable of delivering strong results

Investment objective and risk profile

Fund objective

Aims to generate total returns, primarily in the form of capital, from a portfolio primarily invested in Brazilian focused companies. The Company may also invest up to 10% in companies in other Latin American countries. Equity holdings may be reduced to a minimum of 60% of gross assets if it is considered beneficial to performance.

Risk profile

  • The investment objective of a trust may allow some flexibility in terms in portfolio composition.
  • Exchange rate changes may cause the value of underlying overseas investments to go down as well as up.
  • Investments in emerging markets may involve a higher element of risk due to political and economic instability and underdeveloped markets and systems.
  • Investments in smaller companies may involve a higher degree of risk as these are usually more sensitive to price movements.
  • Where permitted, a trust may invest in other investment trusts that utilise gearing (borrowing) which will exaggerate market movements both up and down.
  • Shares in smaller companies and emerging markets are generally traded less frequently than those in larger companies and established markets. This means

that there may be difficulty in both buying and selling shares and individual share prices may be subject to short-term price fluctuations.

  • External factors may cause an entire asset class to decline in value. Prices and values of all shares or all bonds could decline at the same time.
  • The Company may borrow to finance further investment (gearing). The use of gearing is likely to lead to volatility in the Net Asset Value (NAV) meaning that a

relatively small movement, down or up, in the value of the Company’s assets will result in a magnified movement, in the same direction, of that NAV.
