MONTHLY COMMENTARY

• Following a bruising year for investors in 2022, markets started 2023 in much better spirits. Nearly all the major asset classes enjoyed strong returns.
• We introduced Synthomer over the month, a global specialty chemicals company engaging in the development, marketing, and sale of polymer products derived from petrochemical monomers. It offers its products to different industries such as health and protection, coatings and construction and paper and packaging. Previous management made several acquisitions which has over-levered the business and has ultimately seen the dividend cut and a negotiation with lenders to relax debt covenants. A new management team is now in place, with a credible plan to reduce debt through asset disposals, along with refocusing the business. Synthomer is valued at just 0.6x price to book, versus a 10-year average of 3.2x. The gap to intrinsic value is considerable and we believe there to be significant upside from here.
• Senior released a strong FY22 trading update. The Flexonics division enjoyed strong end of year performance driven by strong demand for heavy duty trucks and the levels of maintenance and overhaul in power and energy. Profit before tax is now expected to be above the top end of consensus expectations which was £18m. Shares increased by 22% over January.
• Growing confidence that inflation in the US has peaked boosted the gold market. There was a significant shift in sentiment towards the end of 2022 and continuing into 2023 after data showed inflation cooling more quickly than expected which moderated rate-hike expectations and sent the US dollar lower. The Ninety One Global Gold Fund returned 8% over the month and was a primary contributor to returns.
