Investment Objective

Menhaden Capital PLC (the "Company") seeks to generate long-term shareholder returns, predominantly in the form of capital growth, by investing in businesses and opportunities, irrespective of their size, location or stage of development, delivering or benefiting from the efficient use of energy and resources. Whilst the intention is to pursue an active, non-benchmarked total return strategy, the Company will be cognisant of the positioning of its portfolio against the MSCI World Index (Total Return, Sterling adjusted).

Commentary

During March the Company's NAV was down 0.5%, the share price was down 11.9%, while the MSCI World Index was down 3.5%.

China Longyuan Power and BorgWarner were the top positive contributors to performance during the month. China Longyuan Power shares appreciated after the Chinese National Energy Administration outlined steps to boost the use of clean energy. BorgWarner shares were strong due to positive sell-side reporting.

On the back of increasing uncertainty relating to the liquidity position of SunEdison we transferred our exposure to the company to its subsidiary yieldcos, Terraform Power and Terraform Global. Terraform Power and Terraform Global were the largest negative contributors to performance during the month. Both companies' shares were weak due to news of SunEdison's potential insolvency.

Investment Policy

The Company's investment objective is pursued through constructing a conviction-driven portfolio consisting primarily of direct listed and unlisted holdings across different asset classes and geographies. The Company invests, either directly or through external funds, in a portfolio that is comprised of three main allocations: listed equity; yield assets; and special situations. The flexibility to invest across asset classes affords the Company two main benefits: 1) It enables construction of a portfolio based on an assessment of market cycles; and 2) It enables investment in all opportunities which benefit from the investment theme. Once substantially invested, it is expected the portfolio will comprise approximately 20 to 25 positions. Typically, the portfolio will not comprise fewer than 20 positions or more than 50 positions. For these purposes, an investment in an external fund is treated as one position.

The portfolio will be predominantly focused on investments in developed markets, though if opportunities that present an attractive risk and reward profile are available in emerging markets then these may also be pursued. While many of the companies forming the portfolio will be headquartered in the UK, USA or Europe, it should be noted that many of those companies will be global in nature so their reporting currency may not reflect their actual geographic or currency exposures. Subject at all times to any applicable investment restrictions contained in the Listing Rules, the Company will not make an investment if it would cause a breach of any of the following limits at the point of investment: 1) no more than 20% of the Company's gross assets may be invested, directly or indirectly through external funds, in the securities of any single entity; and, 2) no more than 20% of the Company's gross assets may be invested in a single external fund.

Important Information

Menhaden Capital PLC (the "Company") is a UK investment trust listed on the London Stock Exchange. As this Company may implement a gearing policy, investors should be aware that the share price movement may be more volatile than movements in the price of underlying investments. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of investments and the income from them may fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed. An investor may not get back the original amount invested. Changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of investments to fluctuate. Fluctuation in the share price may be particularly marked and the value of an investment may fall suddenly and substantially. There can be no assurance that the Company's investment objective will be achieved and investment results may vary substantially over time. This document is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer or invitation to purchase shares in the Company and has not been prepared in connection with any such offer or invitation. Investment trust share prices may not fully reflect underlying net asset values. There may be a difference between the prices at which you may purchase ("the offer price") or sell ("the bid price") a share on the stock market which is known as "bid-offer" or "dealing" spread. Net Asset Value per share is calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the Association of Investment Companies in that income received in the period since the last annual accounts is excluded. Total net assets are stated inclusive of income received. Any opinions on individual stocks are those of the Company's Investment Committee and no reliance should be given on any such views. The views expressed herein do not constitute investment or any other advice and are subject to change. They do not necessarily reflect the views of Frostrow Capital LLP and no assurances are made as to their accuracy.
