■ The Fund returned -19.3% in April-15 against an MSCI Daily TR Net
Europe (€) return of +0.1%.
■ The Fund’s active exposure to the long USD had a significant impact
on performance (-11.6%), a considerable portion of which came from
the AUD/USD position.
■ The short equity book also had a negative impact (-7.0%) after
currency hedging. Positive contributions before currency hedging
came from Las Vegas Sands Corp. (+72bps), Kellogg Company
(+34bps) and Tupperware Brands Corp. (+27bps). These were
outweighed by negative contributions from a number of positions, the
worst of which were Seadrill Ltd (-55bps), BG Group Plc (-40bps) and
Coca-Cola HBC AG (-33bps).
■ After currency hedging the long equity book was flat for the month
(+0.1%). Positive contributions before currency hedging came from
positions such as Sky Plc (+31bps) and Hunter Douglas NV (+18bps).
These were canceled out by negative contributions from a number of
positions, the largest being LM Ericsson Telefon AB (-109bps), Alcatel
Lucent SA (-60bps) and Toyota Industries Corp. (-30bps).
■ Elsewhere our Australian government bond positions also
underperformed, contributing -0.9% to performance.

April was bloody. A portfolio built on global weakness coming out of China and
even embroiling the developed world, which had been successful since June of
last year was attacked on all sides. The Fund lost money on its Forex positions,
its emerging market short positions, its oil shorts and on top of that the telecoms
equipment providers had a shocking time. Some of the positions had become
crowded even if the thinking is still far away from the consensus. The book has
been cut, FX leverage has been reduced and in May, especially in the second half
of this month, the Fund is acting well.
Nobody likes being wrong. Nobody likes looking foolish. Nobody likes losing
money. In hindsight the tail wind that was the leveraged position in the US dollar
against Emerging Market currencies in particular, meant that I did not respond
quickly enough to the aggressive QE introduced by Draghi in December of last
year and the effects of the fall in the oil price two month earlier.
Essentially Draghi in December decided that a European economy with virtually
no growth and an equilibrium unemployment rate of 11.5%, which hid youth un-
employment of 25% and over employment of the over 60’s of 10%, was unac-
ceptable. By introducing negative interest rates he has successfully driven down
the exchange rate, forced banks to lend to generate any returns and in the process
driven assets sky high. His policies will create a bubble in asset prices but he has
decided it is a consequence worth putting up with. To be fair, his radical transfor-
mation of the political and economic direction of Europe has been strengthened
by employment law changes in Spain, which are freeing up the labour market
dramatically, and from June, changes to creditor protection in Italy, which will
give creditors possession of assets after two rather than nine years.

European stockmarkets have been strong, driven by this quest for yield and for liquidity. By historic standards they possess
neither but this is a ‘Historic’ time itself. As we can see with the bull market in China, once a bubble forms it has an internal
logic of its own and it will grow until it has outgrown all of its surroundings. What is disconcerting to the stock-picker is that it
has little relevance to earnings growth and it certainly does not predict next year’s profits.
All of this has meant that the Fund is moving towards being net long equities. This bubble will end badly, but not yet. It only
began at the beginning of this year.
However it does mean that the US dollar, where they are hoping to end the QE experiment this year, has to remain the fa-
voured currency. Its rise was probably too quick and undoubtedly attracted too many followers, but here it looks interesting.
However it does not look a powerful enough bull market to be leveraged into.
As I have said for the last year, the risk to the world economy does not come from the developed world where, post 2008, debt
growth has been steady, but from out of the Emerging Markets. E.M. economies now represent 50% of the world’s GNP and
nearly 40% of the world’s debts. The world has been unable for thirty years now to get growth without debt growing even
faster. Operating assets are being asked to work harder to service ever increasing debts. Productivity growth has disappeared.
No wonder the pressure is still downwards on interest rates.
Economics, as I was taught, said nothing about the difference between two identical economies - one that had large debts and
one that was debt free. The one with large debts, paradoxically had the richer individuals and companies, and in an environ-
ment where credit remained freely available performed equally well. However, when faced with disruptive technologies or dis-
ruptive trade patterns the leveraged economy is forced not only to write off unwanted operating assets but the debts attached.
They have to be socialised through the economy. That day is coming, but April showed it is not now.
We are keen to be very open to our clients during difficult periods, so please do contact us if you need any further attribution or

Positive contributions before currency hedging came from Las Vegas Sands Corp. (+72bps), Kellogg Company (+34bps) and Tupperware Brands Corp. (+27bps). These were outweighed by negative contributions from a number of positions, the worst of which were Seadrill Ltd (-55bps), BG Group Plc (-40bps) and Coca-Cola HBC AG (-33bps). ■ After currency hedging the long equity book was flat for the month (+0.1%). Positive contributions before currency hedging came from positions such as Sky Plc (+31bps) and Hunter Douglas NV (+18bps). These were canceled out by negative contributions from a number of positions, the largest being LM Ericsson Telefon AB (-109bps), Alcatel Lucent SA (-60bps) and Toyota Industries Corp. (-30bps). ■ Elsewhere our Australian government bond positions also underperformed, contributing -0.9% to performance. Source for above 3 tables: Internal unaudited figures. All performance figures quoted are net of fees. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Source for above table and chart: Quintillion Limited and Bloomberg. Calculation on a NAV basis as at 30-Apr-15. The data below refers to the € share class. April was bloody. A portfolio built on global weakness coming out of China and even embroiling the developed world, which had been successful since June of last year was attacked on all sides. The Fund lost money on its Forex positions, its emerging market short positions, its oil shorts and on top of that the telecoms equipment providers had a shocking time. Some of the positions had become crowded even if the thinking is still far away from the consensus. The book has been cut, FX leverage has been reduced and in May, especially in the second half of this month, the Fund is acting well. Nobody likes being wrong. Nobody likes looking foolish. Nobody likes losing money. In hindsight the tail wind that was the leveraged position in the US dollar against Emerging Market currencies in particular, meant that I did not respond quickly enough to the aggressive QE introduced by Draghi in December of last year and the effects of the fall in the oil price two month earlier. Essentially Draghi in December decided that a European economy with virtually no growth and an equilibrium unemployment rate of 11.5%, which hid youth un- employment of 25% and over employment of the over 60’s of 10%, was unac- ceptable. By introducing negative interest rates he has successfully driven down the exchange rate, forced banks to lend to generate any returns and in the process driven assets sky high. His policies will create a bubble in asset prices but he has decided it is a consequence worth putting up with. To be fair, his radical transfor- mation of the political and economic direction of Europe has been strengthened by employment law changes in Spain, which are freeing up the labour market dramatically, and from June, changes to creditor protection in Italy, which will give creditors possession of assets after two rather than nine years.

  • 2. 12 Upper Grosvenor Street, London, W1K 2ND ~ Tel +44 (20) 7208-1400 Fax: +44 (20) 7208-1401 ~ www.odey.com Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority European stockmarkets have been strong, driven by this quest for yield and for liquidity. By historic standards they possess neither but this is a ‘Historic’ time itself. As we can see with the bull market in China, once a bubble forms it has an internal logic of its own and it will grow until it has outgrown all of its surroundings. What is disconcerting to the stock-picker is that it has little relevance to earnings growth and it certainly does not predict next year’s profits. All of this has meant that the Fund is moving towards being net long equities. This bubble will end badly, but not yet. It only began at the beginning of this year. However it does mean that the US dollar, where they are hoping to end the QE experiment this year, has to remain the fa- voured currency. Its rise was probably too quick and undoubtedly attracted too many followers, but here it looks interesting. However it does not look a powerful enough bull market to be leveraged into. As I have said for the last year, the risk to the world economy does not come from the developed world where, post 2008, debt growth has been steady, but from out of the Emerging Markets. E.M. economies now represent 50% of the world’s GNP and nearly 40% of the world’s debts. The world has been unable for thirty years now to get growth without debt growing even faster. Operating assets are being asked to work harder to service ever increasing debts. Productivity growth has disappeared. No wonder the pressure is still downwards on interest rates. Economics, as I was taught, said nothing about the difference between two identical economies - one that had large debts and one that was debt free. The one with large debts, paradoxically had the richer individuals and companies, and in an environ- ment where credit remained freely available performed equally well. However, when faced with disruptive technologies or dis- ruptive trade patterns the leveraged economy is forced not only to write off unwanted operating assets but the debts attached. They have to be socialised through the economy. That day is coming, but April showed it is not now. We are keen to be very open to our clients during difficult periods, so please do contact us if you need any further attribution or explanation.
