Nice work if you can get it . Wish I was part of this overpaid and underperforming team ;
From a cyclical perspective we think that current capex spend trends are setting up selective commodities for the next upcycle in pricing. In particular we believe the broader strength of the base metals market forecast for 2016 will start to become more widely appreciated in the coming six months.
Given the above, we remain positive on the structural prospects for natural resources.

Given risk is now skewed toward demand growth surprise and production disappointment, we continue to see long-term upside for commodity equities as the global recovery gains momentum.

In conclusion, we believe all of the holdings in our portfolio offer deep and compelling value, while FOGL offers particularly great upside potential over the drill program to the end of 2012. We feel that the setback in commodity pricing has been fully discounted in equity valuations. Of course, a significantly worse global economy could lead to more downside, but the upside potential (assuming only moderate growth) is very attractive. We thank all of our investors for their confidence in us.

With valuations and cash flow generation at compelling levels, the equities are due, in our opinion, a period of solid performance.
We thank investors for their continued support in the fund.

The Investment Manager continues to view commodities investment as partly detached from the problems faced by the West, especially whilst the US Dollar remains the default currency for this asset class and medium/long-term value is under-pinned by a shortage of supply and strong demand in the developing countries, and is still of the belief that a fundamentals approach will perform going forward.

On the plus side , some of the directors are not claiming expenses / wages " at present " and we are due a total overhaul in 2015 .
Why on earth has a supposedly active managed fund lost so much money over 9/10 years ?
Quite frankly some stocks almost defy belief .
Admittedly one quarter of their investment is FOGL which has halved in value . But , one can only marvel at such incompetence .
