Of Mergers and AcquisitionsJohn Kingham, Editor

When I invest in a company my expectation is that I’ll be holding it for at least five years. So of course I wantthe business to be able to last the next five years and if possible for it to be bigger in five years than it is today.This means that I look for reasons as to why the company might fail or shrink, and if the case doesn’t lookstrong enough then I will move on to the next opportunity.

However, there is one type of corporate event that pops up occasionally and unpredictably, and yet it can havea massive impact on investment returns. These events are mergers and acquisitions, or M&A as it’s oftenknown.

So far in the life of the UKVI model portfolio things have worked out well on this front. Robert WisemanDairies, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of fresh milk, was in the portfolio when it was taken over by MullerDairies. It was an unexpected event because the shares jumped from about 245p up to the offer price of 390palmost instantly. Nobody saw it coming, but that was okay as it resulted in a 27% gain for the portfolio.

Now we have a similar situation occurring with both Chemring and BAE Systems, although in both these casesa takeover or merger has been publicly mentioned, but neither one is a done deal just yet. Once again, exactlyhow this will work out is unclear.

M&A provides a good example of the kind of randomness that equity investments are subject to all the time.They may turn out well or badly, but the best defence against this uncertainty is a well diversified portfolio.

Market forecast and asset allocationThe FTSE 100 does its best impression of a roller coaster, but ultimately goes nowhere

Looking back over recent history, the market has started the last two months at around 5,700, moved up to5,900, and then promptly fallen back to 5,700 again. This pattern is reflected in the medium-term by gyrationsbetween about 5,400 and 5,900 over the last year or so, and in the longer-term we have been stuck in a rangebetween 3,500 and 7,000 since about 1995.

While the market has been range-bound for a long time, the companies which make up the FTSE 100 have beenon a broadly steady path of growth. This means that at some point we will wave goodbye to the FTSE 100 at6,000 or 7,000 as it will be unsustainably cheap at that level. Inflation and economic growth will see to that.

I think that perhaps that time is not too far away now. Certainly (as certain as I can be about anything to dowith stocks and shares) in the next decade I expect 7,000 to be consigned to the history books, and with nothingbut blue sky above that level I think it could be the start of another major bull market.

In the mean time, while valuations are still low and attractive, intelligent investors have time to pick upworld class companies at sensible prices, which is exactly what I intend to do.

For those of you who are not happy being 100% in equities, the downside risk protection chart belowshows the cash level I would hold today to reduce the volatility of the model portfolio.

The cash buffer is at 20% and has scarcely moved for a while, which reflects the fact that the market ison a slow road to nowhere at the moment. The buffer is below its default level of 33% because themarket’s cyclically adjusted PE (or CAPE) is 12.3, which is slightly below its long-term average ofaround 15. This means that by this measure equities are more attractive, with less downside risk, thanusual.

Model portfolio reviewOne of the nice things about owning a portfolio of shares versus a collective fund is the continuous paymentof dividends. Now that the model portfolio has been fully invested for a while there are new dividend paymentscoming in every month, rather than the two or four payments a year that a typical fund would pay.

For example, this month we’ve had payments from AstraZeneca, SSE, BP, Reckitt Benckiser and BHPBilliton. This steady stream of cash shows the true economic value of a portfolio much better than whether ornot the capital value (i.e. the share prices) went up or down in a given period.

These dividends are then available to be reinvested into more high quality businesses at attractive, highyielding valuations. In my opinion the growth of the income stream is the best way to gauge the success of aninvestment fund.

Rio Tinto

Following last month’s buy alert I’ve added Rio Tinto to the portfolio at 2,988p with the usual weighting ofaround 1/30th of the total.

Quotes from the annual resultsAgainst a challenging economic backdrop, we have continued to drive growth across our bus and railcompanies. Our local market focus and commitment to improving the passenger experience haveattracted more people to our convenient and value for money services. During the year, we furtherstrengthened our position in the UK bus market through five acquisitions and were delighted to have beenshortlisted for the new combined Thameslink rail franchise.

Our deregulated bus business performed exceptionally well in the year, delivering record operating profitand sector leading passenger growth and our London bus operations remain best in class. In line with theGroup's strategy to grow our core bus division, we acquired four value-enhancing deregulatedbusinesses, strengthening our portfolio of resilient operations in the South. In our regulated business, wemoved into North London with the acquisition of the Northumberland Park depot.

Overall, the Group's rail division performed well during the period, with strong operational performanceacross all three franchises and good passenger revenue growth, particularly in London Midland. Southernhas started to be impacted by the economic environment, as the bid model assumed stronger economicgrowth rates than are currently being experienced. Our three rail franchises carry almost a third of all railpassengers in England. We have significant experience of successfully managing complex commuterfranchises and delivering industry leading projects and will be using this expertise to deliver a strong bidfor the new Thameslink franchise.

“The UK Mail Group is the largest independent parcels, mail and logistics services company within theUK, offering innovative delivery solutions both locally and worldwide.” - UKMail.com

OverviewThere are basically three ways to make money in the stock market. The first way is to receive an income in theform of dividends; the second way is to buy a company that grows its intrinsic value (typically measured byearnings) over time and where the valuation ratio (which for earnings would normally be the price to earningsratio) stays the same; the third way is to buy shares where the valuation ratio (PE in this case) expands whilethe earnings stay the same.

Of course in reality all three of these factors are working together all the time, to a greater or lesser extent. Thedividend return is always positive, but sometimes it’s zero, while both earnings growth and valuation changescan be positive or negative. The trick is to get all three working together for each of the stocks you buy.

The UKVI rating system is designed to value shares based on their combination of dividends, growth andvaluation. Sometimes all three are strong, sometimes only one or two are strong, but it is the combination thatmatters.

By focusing almost exclusively on the things that actually make money in the stock market, rather than themasses of information that isn’t important, UK Mail Group has given us an annualised return of around 35%during its time in the portfolio.

Why I chose UK Mail

Back in October 2011 UK Mail was a top ranked stock on my screen. This meant that it had a bettercombination of income, growth and valuation that almost any other company in the market. So what exactlymade it so attractive? In this case there was only one thing - an extremely high dividend yield.

With the shares at 210p and the dividend at 18p, The yield was around 8.6%. That really is a very high yieldand at that level many shares are a ‘value trap’, where the dividend lures you in but then gets cut soon after,which destroys the investment thesis. So the question initially was, is this yield going to be sustainable?

In contrast to the outstandingly high yield, the valuation was low (with PE10 at just over 10), but not especiallyso given that the growth rate has been less than 3%. Even worse than that, the growth rate was almost all downto revenue growth rather than growth in earnings or dividends. Unless revenue growth can be converted intodividends at some point, it is empty growth with no real value.

Using dividends as a way to get capital gains

The great thing about high yield shares is that they can produce fantastic capital gains as well. In fact, I expectmost of my high yield investments to generate better returns from capital gains than they do from income. Howcan that be?

It comes down to the fact that a small change in the yield for a given dividend payment actually requires quitea large change in share price.

Page 7

So for example, UK Mail was paying out a dividend of 18p, and with the share price at 210p it had a yield of8.6%. If the dividend was sustained then it seemed highly likely that the high yield would attract otherinvestors who would bid up the price until the yield became less attractive.

To push the yield up to 7%, which is still a very attractive level, the share price would have to rise to 257p,which is a 22.4% capital gain. That return dwarfs the expected dividend income and that’s the hidden value inhigh yield shares.

UK Mail long-term resultsEarnings (per share) Dividend (per share) Turnover (£m)

But at the time the most important thing was to see if the yield would be sustainable, which for me starts witha review of how the company has done in the last decade.

Looking for a successful past

I want to invest in good businesses with proven track records, and UK Mail only just make the grade. It’scertainly a leading company in its industry, but what really matters is results and on this front they are far lesssuccessful than many other companies in the portfolio.

Still, they’re not a basket case - far from it in fact. And even though the dividend is barely covered by earnings,it had been sustained at around 18p for many years, with no obvious signs that it was about to be cut.

Of course the management focused on their success in growing revenues, but as I said before, unless revenuescan be converted into cash they add little value.

A survivable present

Most of the time investments are attractive because they’re out of favour with the mainstream. Sometimesthere are obvious reasons why, such as when Tesco’s recent like-for-like results missed estimates and triggereda fall of more than 15% in the share price.

But sometimes the reasons are not so obvious, and with UK Mail it seemed like a combination of factors, noneof which really stood out. Of course, we are in an environment that is quite negative for equities, and thecompany’s results haven’t exactly set the world on fire. There were also some worries about falling profits in2011 and the share price has been on a long fall from 700p in 2005 to 200p in 2011.

Page 8

Whatever the reason, the underlying business looked steady, debts were low (and the company now has morecash than borrowings), and at least to me, the dividend looked sustainable.

A rosy future

Shares are risky, we all know that. Nobody can know where the share price is going to be tomorrow, or nextyear. So I always invest with the expectation that I will be holding for at least 5 years, which means that I wantthe company to survive and thrive in that time.

As a mail and parcel delivery company, I certainly didn’t think that the industry was going to see the kind ofrevolution that the music industry has seen. 5 years from now UK Mail will very probably still be hauling truckloads of letters and packages all over the country. And even if we faced a severe recession, parcels would stillneed to be sent no matter what, so there seemed to be little threat to the company from the ups and downs ofthe business cycle.

How did it all turn out?

In hindsight I can see that things have turned out pretty much as I hoped for. In terms of the company, nothingmuch has really happened. We’ve had a new annual report in which the results were much as they have beenfor many years. The important thing was that the dividend was maintained and this seems to have giveninvestors more confidence that it will not be cut.

The confidence of other investors is shown in the rising share price, which is good for the portfolio as itproduces gains, at least on paper. Just as importantly, because the price has increased but the company’sintrinsic value hasn’t, there may be fewer returns on offer in future and at the same time there is more risk ofa share price fall. Both of those factors are good reasons to sell.

Knowing when to sell

Selling is a difficult subject; it’s every bit as difficult as buying. In my case I buy and sell using much the samecriteria, so if a stock doesn’t have an outstanding combination of yield, growth and valuation then I will sellup and move to another one that does.

When I bought UK Mail Group a year ago at 210p the yield was 8.6%, PE10 was 10.2 and growth was 2.8%.

Now the shares are at 264p the yield is 6.9%, PE10 is 12.6 and growth is much the same. Although these arestill reasonable values they are far less attractive than they were before, to the extent that I now think there arebetter places that this money can be put to work.

Does that mean I think the shares won’t go any higher? No, I think at current levels the shares could still easilydouble. But I don’t want to speculate about how high the shares might go. I want to buy only the mostattractive shares in the market and sell them when they are no longer the most attractive shares. For UK Mailthat means the time to go is now.

I will be selling UK Mail Group in a few days and the cash will be used to buy two new holdings over the nextcouple of months, after which I will be selling another holding to recycle the cash into the most attractiveopportunities.
