2. Growth - End of the Debt Super Cycle implies below trend growth
• For thirty years, consumers, corporates and governments lived beyond their means – the debt supercycle• This had profound implications for all asset prices (equity, bonds, houses etc)• The next decade is likely to be a period of deleveraging. • This will likely mean lower growth, higher unemployment and greater volatility• In an environment of deleveraging and low growth, compounding income could once again be a superior strategy

How the Strategy Works
• Fund sells 3 month call options on each stock in the portfolio
• Strike price of call options is set above the level of individual stock price at the start of the quarter
• This has the effect of a cap on the growth of each stock at the end of the 3 months
• Fund receives option premium from selling the call options, which is applied to enhance income for investors
• Current underlying portfolio dividend yield of 4.4% enhanced to 7%
Example: Vodafone option
Vodafone share price 150p
Option Price 1% = 1.5p
3 month option
Strike level 173p = c. 115%

Covered call-overlay strategy
Summary
19
• Demand for income has never been higher whilst supply has never been lower
• Equities offer c.5% returns but with significant volatility
• We are focused on the high quality, cash compounders which remain under valued
• Call over-writing can further help to meet income requirements
• Focus on providing long-term income growth with reduced income volatility
• Fund offers combination of low volatility and attractive returns

We look for Why ?
History of high returns on capital
Low starting valuation Strong indicator of good future returns
Attractive dividends Dividend have made up > 50% total equity returns
Good cash generationSensible use of cash flow drives value creation
Shareholder friendly management
Strong balance sheetProtects against an unforeseen deterioration in business conditions
Stable businesses
Low starting valuation – strong indicator of good future returns

Valuation still matters

• Within the subset of cheap companies, differentiating by quality improves returns
