The Investment management and administration transferred to Janus Henderson Investors on 1 August 2024.

Performance

Contributors/detractors

Stock selection in financial services, consumer discretionary and consumer staples added to performance, with tobacco company Philip Morris a key contributor. Dell Technologies and global animal health company Zoetis detracted.

Outlook

We believe the companies held in the portfolio are well positioned for periods of volatility. Their highquality nature could help insulate them against some of the macroeconomic forces at play.

Fund Manager commentary

Investment environment

US equities rose over November. Waning expectations of a near-term interest-rate cut by the US Federal Reserve (Fed), along with worries about high valuations in artificial intelligence (AI)-related stocks, caused sharp losses earlier on. However, the equity market subsequently rebounded as investors grew increasingly optimistic that the Fed would in fact loosen monetary policy in December. This followed more benign inflation readings while several alternative employment statistics (given the government shutdown) made the case that employment trends may weaken, despite an impressive September non-farm payrolls print of 119,000.

Additional economic news was mixed. The purchasing managers' index (PMI) increased to a better-thanforecast 54.8 in November, led by the services sector. Meanwhile, consumer confidence weakened to a sevenmonth low in November and retail sales rose only modestly.

Portfolio review

Stock selection in the financial services, consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors added to performance, with tobacco company Philip Morris being a key positive contributor. The overweight allocation to healthcare also added value, with healthcare technology company Medtronic contributing positively. Conversely, stock selection in the communication services and industrials sectors detracted.

In terms of individual stocks, Lamar Advertising and biotechnology company Amgen both contributed positively. Dell Technologies and global animal health company Zoetis detracted. Not holding technology giant Alphabet also detracted.

In terms of activity, we introduced new positions in engineering company Emerson and Royal Caribbean Cruises. We reduced the position in the technology sector by trimming the holdings in semiconductor industry suppliers Lam Research Group and Broadcom after periods of strong share price performance.

Manager outlook

The implementation of US trade tariffs is essentially adding a consumption tax that will be absorbed by some combination of exporters (non-US), importers (US) and the consumer/corporate end user. However, when combined with the fiscal policy laid out in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' that allows for expensing of capital expenditure, research and development (R&D) and more generous interest expense deductions, we think there is an interesting offsetting balance in aggregate, which does not even contemplate the longer-term ability of the US to create jobs. Furthermore, the consumer will experience several enhanced tax deductions that will begin to occur in 2026. In our opinion, it seems that 'uncertainty' has been the biggest headwind for corporates and global trading partners, not the ultimate level of the trade tariffs, so the outlook has improved markedly from the beginning of the year.

We believe going forward that the labour market is a bigger risk than inflation, as there were several large jobcut announcements, while jobless claims remain elevated as there has been an inability for many of those laid off to find employment. Meanwhile, higher interest rates disproportionately impact small business, so the loosening of monetary policy should be helpful to this important employment cohort.

On the corporate side, we do not believe current fundamentals and the forward outlook are as negative as they may be perceived externally. That said, market valuations remain broadly elevated, so we need to remain selective, diligent and disciplined in our investment strategy.

The third-quarter earnings season was the fifth consecutive quarter of at least 10% earnings-per-share (EPS) growth with revenues up in the high-single digits and earnings approaching the mid-teens. There have been some corporate credit concerns, but we believe these are idiosyncratic and not something that will be pervasive. The impacts of trade tariff continue to be modest and have not driven inflation as predicted, while employment moves to the forefront as a potential risk following some high visibility redundancy headlines from the private sector.

We believe the companies we hold are well positioned to manage through periods of volatility. We also feel comfortable with the current valuations of these companies, which in aggregate were trading at around 16x forward earnings, which marks a discount to market averages.

Factsheet - at 30 November 2025 Marketing Communication

We feel the high-quality nature of these holdings should help insulate them against some of the macroeconomic forces at play. From a revenue perspective, we think the historically predictable cash generation and robust balance sheets should lead to continued dividend growth prospects for the rest of 2025 and into next year. We continue to seek resilient companies, where macroeconomic tailwinds are not needed for growth, and where we think they have the cash and ability to invest in themselves for the future.

Glossary

Discount/Premium

The amount by which the price per share of an investment company is either lower (at a discount) or higher (at a premium) than the net asset value per share (cum income), expressed as a percentage of the net asset value per share.

Gearing

The effect of borrowing money for investment purposes (financial gearing). The amount a company can "gear" is the amount it can borrow in order to invest. Gearing is used in the expectation that the returns on the investments bought will exceed the costs of the borrowings that funded the purchase. This Company can also use synthetic gearing through derivatives and foreign exchange hedging and/or other non-fully funded instruments or techniques.

Leverage

The Company's leverage is the sum of financial gearing and synthetic gearing. Details of the Company's leverage limits can be found in both the Key Information Document and Annual Report. Where a company utilises leverage, the profits and losses incurred by the company can be greater than those of a company that does not use leverage.

Market capitalisation

Share price multiplied by the number of shares in issue, excluding treasury shares, at month end. Shares typically priced mid-market at month-end closing.

Net Asset Value (NAV)

The total value of a Company's assets less its liabilities.

NAV (Cum Income)

The value of investments and cash, including current year revenue, less liabilities (prior charges such as loans, debenture stock and preference shares at fair value).

NAV (Ex Income)

The value of investments and cash, excluding current year revenue, less liabilities (prior charges such as loans, debenture stock and preference shares at fair value).

NAV total return

The theoretical total return on shareholders' funds per share reflecting the change in Net Asset Value (NAV) assuming that dividends paid to shareholders were reinvested at NAV at the time the shares were quoted ex-dividend. A way of measuring investment management performance of investment trusts which is not affected by movements in discounts/premiums.

Net assets

Total assets minus any liabilities such as bank loans or creditors.

Net cash

A company's net exposure to cash/cash equivalents expressed as a percentage of shareholders' funds, after any offset against its gearing. This is only shown for companies that have gearing in place.

Net gearing

A company's total assets (less cash/cash equivalents) divided by shareholders' funds expressed as a percentage.

Ongoing charges

The total expenses for the financial year (excluding performance fee), divided by the average daily net assets, multiplied by 100.

Share price

Closing mid-market share price at month end.

Share price total return

The theoretical total return to the investor assuming that all dividends received were reinvested in the shares of the company at the time the shares were quoted ex-dividend. Transaction costs are not taken into account.

Total assets

Cum Income NAV multiplied by the number of shares, plus prior charges at fair value.

Yield

Calculated by dividing the current financial year's dividends per share (this will include prospective dividends) by the current price per share, then multiplying by 100 to arrive at a percentage figure.

Company specific risks

• Shares can lose value rapidly, and typically involve higher risks than bonds or money market instruments. The value of your investment may fall as a result.
• Active management techniques that have worked well in normal market conditions could prove ineffective or negative for performance at other times.
• A persistent reduction in dividend income from investee companies could adversely affect the Company's ability to maintain its record of paying a growing dividend each year.
• Using derivatives exposes the Company to risks different from and potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities. It may therefore result in additional loss, which could be significantly greater than the cost of the derivative.
• This Company is suitable to be used as one component of several within a diversified investment portfolio. Investors should consider carefully the proportion of their portfolio invested in this Company.
• The Company could lose money if a counterparty with which it trades becomes unwilling or unable to meet its obligations to the Company.
• The return on your investment is directly related to the prevailing market price of the Company's shares, which will trade at a varying discount (or premium) relative to the value of the underlying assets of the Company. As a result, losses (or gains) may be higher or lower than those of the Company's assets.
• Where the Company invests in assets that are denominated in currencies other than the base currency, the currency exchange rate movements may cause the value of investments to fall as well as rise.
• The Company may use gearing (borrowing to invest) as part of its investment strategy. If the Company utilises its ability to gear, the profits and losses incurred by the Company can be greater than those of a Company that does not use gearing.
• All or part of the Company's management fee is taken from its capital. While this allows more income to be paid, it may also restrict capital growth or even result in capital erosion over time.
