Anas Chakra looks beyond short-term news flow and cyclical industry factorsto find companies that are attractively priced on a longer time horizon. He invests in both value and growth stocks, looking for extreme valuations, and uses a variety of different measures depending on the type of company and industry. The portfolio is managed using an "active strategy". This allows Anas to use short positions and also to increase the amount invested in the long portfolio when he finds attractive investment opportunities. He can also use options to enhance return and manage risk. When shorting stocks, Anas looks for negative factors such as stretched valuations or balance sheets,structural challenges in the company's industry, as well as a catalyst for negatives to be reflected in the share price. The typical range for net marketexposure will be around 90-110% of fund TNA under normal market Market index is for comparative purposes only.

Market EnvironmentEuropean markets rose on the back of strong economic data from the eurozone. Markets were also supported by the US Federal Reserve's decision to start tapering its bond purchase programme as this was seen as a sign of increased confidence in the US economy. Economic data in the eurozone was mostlyencouraging during the quarter. Economic confidence rose and beat expectations in December, confirming a slow but continued recovery in the region.
However, eurozone GDP grew by just 0.1% in the third quarter, supporting the central bank's decision to cut interest rates to a record low of 0.25%.
Fund ReviewDuring the fourth quarter, the A-ACC-EUR class of the fund returned 7.3% in euro terms, outperforming the MSCI Europe Index, which returned 6.0% over the sameperiod. In December, the same class returned 1.2% in euro terms, outperforming the 1.0% index return.
Both long and short positions contributed to returns. Having less than 100% net market exposure weighed on relative returns in a rising market, although thiswas partially offset by our long index option strategy. Yield enhancement was also a mild drag on relative performance. Meanwhile, at a sector level, strongsecurity selection in financials and consumer discretionary added value.
During the quarter, we moved to an overweight position in the financials sector, funded through a reduction in consumer staples holdings. In financials ourbanks positions are in several non-euro exposed banks (i.e. US Bancorp, Nordea) as well as 2 'restructuring' banks (KBC and Lloyds). We also own BNP which does have some peripheral European exposure, but is well funded through deposits and has a very strong retail banking franchise.
We maintain a significant overweight in consumer discretionary, particularly autos-related stocks. Valuations are attractive, particularly for these names that areexposed to the higher end, and an eventual recovery in European auto demand would mean significant upside. We also own luxury names where valuations are reasonable and pricing power is strong. Clearly both autos and luxury are exposed to demand from China and other EMs, but we are comfortable withthis given the underweights in miners and industrials. In materials we do not feel that valuations reflect the potential for metals prices to come under pressureas new supply comes on stream and China becomes less dependent on infrastructure-led demand. Industrials have benefited from China's growth over recent years, but are now facing increased competition - this is not reflected in valuations.
Security selection in consumer discretionary added value. Continental advanced as it increased its earnings guidance for the year. The company's growth inChina and the US more-than-offset the impact of a strengthening euro. VW rose as it reported consensus beating third-quarter earnings, aided by cost-controls in a tough sales environment. We remain very positive on the stock - the valuation reflects a return to historic margins, but the acquisition of Porsche anddevelopment of the Audi brand should mean higher margins going forward. Conversely, the holding in Christian Dior detracted.
Both security selection and our overweight in financials contributed strongly. BNP rallied as it reported an improving capital position and strong earnings,aided by cost-cutting measures. KBC Groupe boosted returns after it reported better-than-expected third quarter performance.
Our underweight in telecos detracted as the sector performed well on speculation of consolidation in the sector. We have exposure to this theme through the position in Vivendi which is in the process of breaking itself up to refocus on core media operations.
Short positions in the energy sector worked well, more-than-offsetting the weak performance from oil services group John Wood which issued a profit warning for its engineering division. Our underweight in the materials sector buoyed performance. We have no long positions, whilst all five short positions in the sectoradded relative value.
Stock picking in health care was negative, but this was offset by the sector overweight. Sanofi fell following disappointing results for its Lantus U300 treatment.
It remains a key position given strong prospects for its growth platforms. Conversely, McKesson added value as its acquisition of German peer Celesio waswell received. We took profits in the name.
At a stock level, Vinci contributed to returns as it reported strong third quarter revenue growth, supported by improved motorway traffic in France and strongperformance from its concessions business.
Net equity exposure was 95.1% at quarter end, higher than the previous quarter-end figure of 91.8%. The short book also stands higher at -13.7% of the portfolio,vs. -11.2% previously.
