Munro Fund Objective -
To deliver an optimised risk adjusted return from UK equities.
Munro Fund Process -
The fund uses consensus forecast gross cash dividends for each constituent company, in relation to
the total for the index, to determine the size of each holding. Using a fundamental measure, rather
than price (market capitalisation) as with most index funds, gives it a value bias. This model bridges
the gap between active and passive funds and could be described as Smart Beta. The model is rebalanced every month to incorporate
changes to dividend forecasts and the fund is reconciled to the model every day to exploit volatility.

The Independent Committee of the board of ENRC confirmed a proposal made a Consortium on 16 May 2013 which offered 175p per share in cash and 0.231 of an existing Kazakhmys share for each ENRC share. The proposal referenced a Kazakhmys share price of 370p per share, which together with 175p per share in cash represented a total price of 260p per ENRC share. The Committee believes that the proposal undervalues ENRC.
