P&C Global Gold and Natural Resources Fund Monthly Investors Report as at 28 February 2014 Swiss Valoren No 1.557.566 Bloomberg Ticker: PCGLDFD CY Fund Commentary Fund’s objectives: Seeking absolute returns in USD and portfolio insurance through diversification into asset class with low correlation to financial assets (bonds, equities and currencies). Gold continued its strong recovery in February, rising 6.6%. Silver also performed well (+10.7%), breaking through the psychological barrier of USD 20 per ounce. A weaker US dollar and geopolitical tensions over the Ukraine increased the demand for precious metals as a safe haven. Also, after a long period of strong net outflows from gold ETFs, February finally saw a small net inflow, the first since 2012. This is important, as it is a good indication of growing investor demand for gold. The P&C Global Gold and Natural Resources Fund was up 7.1%. The NAV currently stands at USD 1,196.15 per fund share. Investment vehicles: Gold mining equities (<100%), physical gold, silver and precious metals (<100%), cash (<50%). Plus other natural resource equities and commodities. Cash used for capital preservation. Significant gold sector exposure expected. Investment restrictions: Min 20 holdings, 10% max single share holding, 15% max single issuer, 5% max unlisted equities, normally no currency hedging. February’s positive performance was driven mainly by precious metals equities. Stocks which performed extremely well, and in which we have a significant holding, were Continental Gold (+46%), Centamin (+29%), Endeavour Mining (+20%) and Pan American Silver (+12%). Within the portfolio, the biggest underperformer was once again Regis Resources (-13%), whose open pit operations have been hit by a major flooding incident. However, post-flood remediation is now well underway, and we continue to like the fundamentals of the company, which has an excellent management team.
