Dear All,

To borrow from Charles Dickens ‘A Tale of Two Cities’, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…”. October 2014 was, to say the least, a difficult month to navigate as an Investment Manager. The first half of the month can be characterised by global equity, commodity and high yield bond markets falling, and the US dollar and the VIX rising, often violently; whereas, during the second half of the month, markets shrugged off negative macro concerns, taking comfort from the US Federal reserve’s post QE “accommodative” stance, and the Bank of Japan significantly increasing its own QE programme. Against this backdrop of heighted volatility, and bipolar markets, all five of our Funds rose during the month; the RAW Cash Deposit Fund (+0.07%), the RAW UK Gilt Fund (+1.56%), the RAW UK Equity Fund (+1.37%), the RAW UK Balanced Fund (+1.19%) and the RAW Global Alpha Fund (+1.13%) respectively.
