RSIC Mechanical Portfolio Update
January 2005
It was another excellent month with the portfolio up £840 (5.7%).
4Imprint Group was the best performer, up 30% on the month. Good gains also from SportingBet, McAlpine, Taylor Woodrow and Bellway.
Bellway was bought using the value criteria last month and is already up nearly 10%.
A dividend of £13.93 from Lambert Howarth was paid during the month. Hyder Consulting and Bellway have gone ex-dividend.
We will make our 6th purchase using the growth criteria this month. Hunting, an oil services company, is top of the list. Following this purchase the portfolio will be fully invested and the remaining cash held will be solely as a result of the balancing method.
NB:
Last month I reported how I intended to filter out all companies that report in non-Sterling currencies. Having considered the matter further I have decided not to do this, Any company that reports in Euros or US Dollars will now be included but will have their results converted to Sterling at the prevailing rate before the filtering and ranking takes place. The list will also include companies who are quoted in Euros or Dollars – these will likewise be converted to Sterling.
