Investment Objective and PolicyThis Trust aims to deliver long-term capital growth whichexceeds the Bank of England’s base interest rate as set by theMonetary Policy Committee or successor bodies. It willprincipally invest in fixed interest stocks (corporate andGovernment), UK and overseas equities and cash with themanager retaining the flexibility to invest up to 100% of theTrust in approved money market instruments, cash or nearcash assets.

Manager’s Investment ReportDuring the year under review, the Trust’s accumulation unitsincreased by 7.8%. The UK Base rate during the review periodwas 0.5% and the Trust’s target performance is base rate + 1%i.e. 1.5%.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance.

The value of investments and any income from them may godown as well as up.

Exchange rate changes may cause the value of any overseasinvestments to rise or fall.

Market/Economic ReviewGlobal stock-markets continued to make progress during thereview year,with the MSCIWorld Index rising 13.7% in Sterlingterms on a total basis. UK Government bonds returned 6.7%and outperformed investment grade credit which returned 4.6%over the year. Commodities were the top performing asset classwith the S&P GSCI Index returning 16.8% (Source: Bloomberg).

Risk assets have outperformed on aggregate due to strongcorporate profitability and accommodative policy from centralbanks. Evidence of a recovery in economic data, especially inthe US had provided support for the majority of the year underreview although readings started to disappoint in the secondquarter of 2011.

In the second and third quarters of 2011, key risks to therecovery have emerged. The first quarter of 2011 witnessedtumultuous and tragic events in the Middle East and Japan. Theformer region has experienced a wave of uprisings againstincumbent leaderships in Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Syria andTunisia, leading to heightened geopolitical tensions and a sharprise in the oil price. The market managed to digest these eventsand risk assets advanced over the first quarter, as corporateprofits remained strong and data stable. However, the sovereign(government) debt crisis in the eurozone periphery remained akey source of downside risk in government bond markets andthe period saw the initiation of bailout packages and austeritymeasures for Greece and Ireland,which proved unpopular bothwith electorates of these countries and those members of theEuropean Union (EU) ultimately providing the finance. Elevatedgovernment bond yields for Spanish and Portuguese issues

reflect investor nervousness over the indebtedness of thesenations. July saw investors become increasingly concerned overthe European periphery’s debt levels and the banks’ abilities tomaintain adequate funding levels. However, as the monthprogressed, attention increasingly began to be focused on theUS debt ceiling and the politicians’ ability to reach a solution onthe terms and conditions surrounding its extension. Theuncertainty surrounding these events encouraged investors toseek out safe haven asset classes. Gold was one of the mainbeneficiaries, rallying 8.5% year to date, taking its return overthe review year to 31.6% in Sterling terms (Source: Bloomberg).

Trust Review

In such an environment, the Trust has delivered a strong positivereturn. Developed market equities have been the maincontributor to Trust performance.

Despite positive returns, the sovereign debt crisis andweakening economic data have been key themes during thesummer of 2011. Exposure to the eurozone has been minimalboth in terms of fixed income, equity exposure and currency.Risk assets, such as equities, high yield investments andcommodities, which are quicker to react to changes ineconomic conditions, have shown weakness in recent monthsbut the Trust has not experienced losses equal to the equitymarkets during the recent period of volatility.

Within the equity exposure,we have held a tilt towardsemerging markets due to strong domestic demand and growthopportunities in these regions. The BlackRock Global AsianDragon Fund and BlackRock Global Latin American Fund makeup approximately 2.5% and 2.4% of the portfolio respectively(as at end July 2011). We have managed this allocation in anactive manner given the risky nature of these markets relative toother exposures within the fund. We implemented an allocationto the iShares FTSE BRIC 50 Fund in January 2010, taking profitson the position in January 2011. Elsewhere within equities, wehave retained a position in the Scottish Mortgage InvestmentTrust which is a global equity vehicle (2.1% at the close of July).We held a position in the BlackRock Global US Basic Value Fund(2.4%) at the end of July 2011, but we have subsequentlyrotated this position into the BlackRock Global Equity IncomeFund post the year end,which is a more defensive portfolio(in August).

Throughout the period, the portfolio has reflected our beliefthat the search for yield will shape investor behaviour asbenchmark interest rates in the developed world will likelyremain at low levels. This has led to a preference for corporatebonds over government bonds and the addition of equities withthe potential to maintain and grow dividends. We looked to addexposure to stocks of this nature which tend to be high qualitycompanies with strong balance sheets.This is in line with our

preference for yield among our investments. We added theGoldman Sachs Global HighYield Fund in periodic incrementsstarting in August 2010 and the position now accounts for 5.7%of the portfolio. The Stone Harbour Emerging Market Fund isheld given the potential for higher interest rates in emergingmarkets and stronger fundamentals within these markets.

Within our ‘alternative investments’ allocation, a position hasbeen implemented through a bespoke index of diversifiedcommodities that are related to Chinese demand. This positionwas implemented to hedge against a potential spike ininflationary pressures and observing continued demand fromChina. We have subsequently reduced the exposure given therecent weakness in economic data. We have held investmentsthat are exposed to gold, given demand is likely to be supportedby investors that are looking for a store of value during periodsof economic uncertainty and financial stress. In addition, the‘store of value’ element is an important factor in the demand forgold given inflation levels are higher than interest rates inseveral developed markets which means cash held in deposits isnot attractive as a means of preserving purchasing power. TheSource Physical Gold Fund position (2.4%) aims to track theprice of gold. Elsewhere within alternatives we have heldpositions that provide exposure to skill based strategies. Theseinclude the BH Macro Fund (2.2%), the BlueCrest AllBlue Fund(2.2%) and a position in the BlackRock Strategic EuropeanCredit Fund (2.4%).

In the summer of 2011 activity has been focused on reducingrisk within the portfolio given the rise in risk aversion afterobserving weakening economic sentiment and focus on thesovereign debt crisis in Europe. We have reduced equity marketexposure using futures to hedge market exposure. Specifically,we implemented positions in FTSE 100 and S&P 500 Indexfutures in June. In August, we reduced equities exposure furtherthrough the sale of both EURO STOXX 50 Sept 11 Futures andFTSE 100 Sept 11 Futures. De-risking the portfolio has led to anincrease in the requirement for derivatives cover in the form ofcash. We removed the allocations to the JP Morgan andMorgan Stanley Convertible Bond Funds during the review period.

At the end of the period the portfolio is positioned fornear-term caution. We would identify two key risks to themacro economic outlook at present; the eurozone sovereigndebt crisis and global recessionary risk. We have held the viewthat the eurozone debt issue is a political crisis as much as aneconomic or market event. Our immediate focus is on theactions of policymakers, currently we require more clarity frompoliticians and the European Central Bank as to how to theregion will manage fiscal transfers, loans, and bankrecapitalization whilst wrestling with issues relating to transfersof sovereignty. In terms of global recessionary risk,we are

conscious of negative sentiment data and the weakness inequity markets feeding back into the real economy. Asmentioned we don’t have enough evidence to suggest this willbe the most likely route but recent data releases have increasedthe probability this may happen.

Outlook

We are more cautious on the outlook for the developed marketeconomies in the medium term given recent politicaluncertainty and disappointing economic data releases.Consequently we have significantly reduced our equity exposurethrough selling riskier sections of the market and hedging usingderivatives. Additionally, given the health of corporate balancesheets, falling inflationary pressures and accommodative centralbank policy, low interest rates are likely to persist. In this case,higher yielding assets look attractive such as investment gradecredit, high yield and dividend equities.

We anticipated volatility in 2011 and identified the eurozonesovereign debt crisis as a key area of concern. Events in the USand poor economic data have compounded our concerns andreduced the probability of a second half bounce. However,weare conscious that data has yet to point to a recessionaryenvironment despite recent weakness. We remain cautious inthe near term but well placed to take advantage ofopportunities if economic data improves and we get moreclarity over issues in the US and Europe.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Accounting policies

(a) Changes to accounting policiesThe financial statements have been prepared under thehistorical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation ofinvestments, and in accordance with the Statement ofRecommended Practice for Authorised Funds issued by theIMA in October 2010 ('the IMA SORP 2010').

As at 31 July 2010, the financial statements were preparedin accordance with the Statement of RecommendedPractice for Authorised Funds issued by the IMA inNovember 2008.

There has been no impact on the financial statements or ondisclosure for the year.

(b) Recognition of revenueRevenue from quoted equities and non-equity shares isrecognised net of attributable tax credits when the securityis quoted ex-dividend. Revenue from unquoted equityinvestments is recognised net of attributable tax creditswhen the dividend is declared.

Bond revenue is accounted for on an effective yield basis,calculated with reference to the purchase price.

Underwriting commission is taken to revenue andrecognised when the issue takes place, except where theTrust is required to take up all or some of the sharesunderwritten, in which case an appropriate proportion ofthe commission is deducted from the cost of those shares.

Overseas revenue received after the deduction ofWithholding tax is shown gross of taxation,with thetaxation consequences shown within the taxation charge.

Special dividends are treated as either revenue or capitaldepending on the facts of each particular case.

Equalisation on distributions received from CollectiveInvestment Schemes is treated as capital property ofthe Trust.

Rebates received from underlying investments managedoutside the Legal & General Group are treated as revenue orcapital depending on the treatment of the Manager’s fees inthe underlying Fund.

Revenue from derivative instruments will be treated inaccordance with Note 1(h).

All other revenue is recognised on an accruals basis.

(c) Treatment of expensesAll expenses (other than those relating to the purchase andsale of investments and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax) arecharged against revenue on an accruals basis.

Page 38: L&G (N) Target Return Trust Annual Manager’sReport ... · Annual Manager’sReport fortheyearended 31July2011 Distribution Number 13. 1 PageNumber Manager’sInvestmentReport* 2

36

(d) Distribution policyThe policy is to distribute all available revenue, afterdeduction of those expenses which are chargeable incalculating the distribution. In order to conduct acontrolled dividend flow, interim distributions will be at theManager’s discretion, up to a maximum of the distributablerevenue for the period. All remaining revenue is distributedin accordance with the COLL.

The Manager’s periodic fee is deducted from revenue forthe purpose of calculating the distribution.

The ordinary element of stock dividends is treated asrevenue and forms part of the distribution. In the case ofan enhanced stock dividend, the value of the enhancementis treated as capital and does not form part of thedistribution.

Distributions which have remained unclaimed byUnitholders for over six years are credited to the capitalproperty of the Trust.

(e) Basis of valuation of investmentsAll investments are valued at their fair value as at 9pm on29 July 2011, being the last working day of the accountingyear. The fair value for non-derivative securities is the bidmarket price, excluding any accrued interest and the fairvalue for derivative instruments is the cost of closing outthe contract at the balance sheet date. The fair value forunits in Collective Investment Schemes is the cancellationprice or bid price for dual priced funds and single price forsingle priced funds.

Where values cannot be readily determined, the securitiesare valued at the Manager's best assessment of their fairvalue.

(f) TaxationProvision is made for taxation at current rates on the excessof investment revenue over expenses,with relief foroverseas taxation taken where appropriate.

Deferred tax is provided for on all timing differences thathave originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date,other than those differences that are regarded aspermanent. Any liability to deferred tax is provided for atthe average rate of tax expected to apply. Deferred taxassets and liabilities are not discounted to reflect the timevalue of money.

(g) Exchange ratesTransactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rateof exchange ruling on the date of the transaction. Whereapplicable, assets and liabilities denominated in foreigncurrencies are translated into Sterling at the rates ofexchange ruling at 9pm on 29 July 2011, being the lastworking day of the accounting year.

Total taxation 238,609 29,460

(b) Factors affecting taxation charge for the yearThe Current tax charge excludes capital gains and losses forthe reason that Authorised Unit Trusts are not subject toCorporation Tax on these items. Current tax differs fromtaxation assessed on net revenue before taxation as follows:

Net revenue before taxation 5,563,149 3,383,271

Net revenue before taxationmultiplied by the applicablerate of Corporation Tax at 20%(2010: 20%) 1,112,630 676,654

(c) Provision for deferred tax

Provision at end of year — —

At the period end there is a potential deferred tax asset of£101,652 (£75,573 as at 31 July 2010) due to surplusmanagement expenses. It is unlikely the Trust will generatesufficient taxable profits in the future to utilise theseamounts and therefore no deferred tax asset has beenrecognised (31 July 2010: same).

11. Risk in relation to financial instrumentsThe Trust’s investment objective is stated on page 2. Inpursuing its objective, the Trust holds financial instrumentswhich expose it to various types of risk. The main risks, andthe Manager’s policy for managing these risks,which wereapplied consistently throughout the current and precedingyear, are set out below.

(a) Credit and liquidity riskCredit risk is the risk of suffering loss due to another partynot meeting its financial obligations. The primary source ofthis risk to the Trust is for trade counterparties to fail tomeet their transaction commitments. This risk is managedby appraising the credit profile of financial instruments andtrade counterparties.

Liquidity risk relates to the capacity to meet liabilities. Theprimary source of this risk to the Trust is the liability toUnitholders for any cancellation of units. This risk isminimised by holding cash and readily realisable securitiesand via access to overdraft facilities.

(b) Market riskMarket risk arises mainly from uncertainty about futureprices. The primary source of this risk to the Trust is thepotential movement in the value of financial instrumentsheld as a result of price fluctuations. Given that the Trustinvests in other Collective Investment Schemes, there ismarket risk exposure in respect of the financial instrumentsheld by these entities. The Manager adheres to theinvestment guidelines and borrowing powers established inthe Trust Deed, Prospectus and the COLL. In this way, theManager monitors and controls the exposure to risk fromany type of security, sector or issuer.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Futures and options are used to adjust market exposurefrom cash flows to ensure asset allocation views can bemaintained without adjusting underlying holdings toofrequently. They are also used to adjust the tactical assetallocation of the Trust. Futures and options allow a low costand liquid mechanism of achieving these aims.

The effective exposure of all derivatives must be fullycovered with a corresponding cash balance or appropriatestock position at all times.

The greatest effective exposure of the derivatives at thebalance sheet date related to futures and as such the effectsof an increase or decrease in the index on the net assetvalue of the Trust are shown below.

Effective yieldconsiders the difference between purchase and redemptionprice of each security, and spreads that discount or premiumacross the life of the security. This may result in an increase indistributable revenue but will be offset by a correspondingdecrease in capital value. As a result, it does not affect the totalreturn of the Trust.

EU Savings DirectiveThe Trust has been reviewed against the requirements of thedirective 2003/48/EC on taxation of savings in the form ofinterest payments (ESD), following the HM Revenue & Customs’debt investment reporting guidance notes.

Under the Directive, information is collected about the paymentof distributions to residents in certain other countries and isreported to HM Revenue & Customs to be exchanged with taxauthorities in those countries.

The Trust falls within the 25% debt investment reportingthreshold. This means that details of all distributions andredemption proceeds paid to non UK investors will be reportedby Legal & General (Unit Trust Managers) Limited toHM Revenue & Customs to be exchanged with the relevanttax authorities.
