Headline Statement re Strategic Review
Released 07:00 25-Aug-2010
Number 01846-CD53
PLUS Markets Group plc - results of strategic review Key highlights * First phase conclusion: no further funding required for existing business * Costs reduced by 40% to annual level of below £5 million from 2011 * Working capital for next two years * Board plan to break even within two years * Second phase conclusion: identification of new revenue streams * Broader product offering for small and mid-cap companies to include debt * New Retail Service Provider (”RSP”) hub, bringing trade execution onto PLUS * Product extension through launch of the PLUS Derivatives Exchange (”PDX”) * Investment in new technology Cyril Theret, Chief Executive Officer of PLUS Markets Group plc, said: “This strategic review has allowed the new management team to analyse the rapid evolution of market regulation, technology and user preferences, and make some clear decisions about the future direction of the Company. We are creating a competitive stock exchange with an attractive product offering to meet the needs of today’s market users. Within that context, we remain committed to our core franchise of helping smaller companies to raise capital and retail investor services.” Completion of strategic review Following the completion of its strategic review, announced on 25 March 2010, PLUS today confirms its intention to leverage its Recognised Investment Exchange (”RIE”) status by offering an innovative exchange venue in London, which brings together primary and secondary market listings, with trading flow from the retail and professional investment communities, across multiple asset classes. PLUS Markets’ RIE status will be used to extend its product offering and diversify its revenue streams. This gives PLUS a comparative advantage over other market infrastructure participants such as Multilateral Trading Facilities (”MTFs”) that are trading facilities only. The new venue will, in line with current European regulatory policy thinking, lay the foundations for “MiFID II” compliance - as the prevailing Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (”MiFID”) is under review - and underpin the principles of electronic execution, price transparency and best execution. First phase of strategic review The first phase focused on re-aligning costs to existing revenues. Costs for the year ended 31 December 2009 were £8.75 million (reported administrative expenses were £11.56 million) and will be reduced to an annual level of below £ 5 million in 2011, after restructuring costs. This reduction of costs by some 40% is being achieved partly through headcount reductions, which have already been completed, but principally through changing our core technology offering. PLUS has served notice on its Facilities Management Agreement with OMX Technology Limited (now part of Nasdaq OMX) with an end date in Q4 2010, and an in-house built quote and trade reporting facility will replace the existing services currently provided under this agreement. The decision to cancel the existing technology agreement was based on the need to support existing and new business lines in a simple, cost-effective and efficient manner. The conclusion of the first phase of the strategic review, as announced on 21 May 2010, was that no further funding is required for the existing business. Existing cash resources will support PLUS as it closes the gap to profitability: the Company has two years’ worth of working capital and it is the Board’s plan for the Company to reach breakeven within two years. Second phase of strategic review New product and service opportunities are arising from enhanced focus on counterparty risk management and increases in the level of pre and post trade transparency since 2008. The rapid pace of development in the transaction technology sector is producing “next generation” systems offering ultra low latency. The post-MiFID market environment poses new challenges such as fragmentation, new liquidity providers, tighter credit conditions and margin pressures. Furthermore, as governments look to the private sector for future growth, the importance of small and medium sized enterprises (”SME”) capital raising and retail investor involvement in the markets is gaining greater prominence. PLUS’s response is to broaden its product offering to both sectors. * Enhancement of offering for small and mid-cap companies PLUS already supports public equity financing for companies through its PLUS-quoted market but also recognises that the challenges in accessing debt or bank finance, for both well-established private companies and quoted small and mid-cap companies, have increased in the last two years. PLUS is therefore extending its market offering by forming an agreement with a specialist finance firm to create a new form of corporate bond product, expected to launch in Q1 2011. Companies will issue bonds subscribed to through specialist funds. The products will be designed to provide good levels of income for retail investors, who seek a steady income without heavy intermediation costs. * Retail execution services PLUS is seeking to offer the same benefits of competition and choice to retail investors as MiFID has to many wholesale investors. As the UK’s leading venue for retail trading services, PLUS plans to improve its offering through an RSP hub based on a Request For Quote (”RFQ”) model providing best execution, single fill and price improvement opportunities to retail investors. The RFQ model will be rolled out alongside the new in-house built quote and trade reporting facility and will initially be targeted at the full list of UK securities (PLUS-quoted, AIM, and officially listed). It will subsequently be extended across multiple asset classes, subject to market demand. This will bring execution onto the PLUS trading platform, enabling PLUS to generate revenues from its retail trade execution for the first time. * PLUS Derivatives Exchange PLUS has set up the PLUS Derivatives Exchange (”PDX”) to launch an innovative interest rate swap (”IRS”) product. PLUS believes this is a significant opportunity to offer a new range of products which will allow large and medium sized companies, banks and inter dealer brokers to manage their interest rate exposures much more effectively. This product will provide efficient access to full fixed-for-floating rate interest exposure through the FTSE MTIRS (Medium Term Interest Rate Swap) Index Series [Bloomberg

Companies Growth Fund
‘The Stock Market is filled with individuals who know the price of everything, but the value of nothing’
Phil Fisher
We are unashamed Value Investors. From inception we have invested where we see true value, seeing each investment into each company not as a price on a screen but as part ownership of that business. This is why we choose our investments very carefully.
One place we currently do not see value, like we have said on a number of occasions in the past, is amongst the FTSE 350 and more specifically the FTSE 250 stocks. On a price to earnings ratio of now roughly 20, some serious earnings growth is expected in 2011. We do reckon the UK will continue to grow this year but a price to earnings ratio of 20 discounts more improvement than we see materialising, especially when we consider the high weighting of house builders, retailers, etc within the index and the recent revision of 2011 UK growth estimates which saw the Centre for Economics and Business Research slash forecasts to 1.1%, down from 2.1%. And it is in the FTSE 250 that most small cap funds continue to invest. We do not.
The SF t1ps Smaller Companies Growth Fund was established in November 2007 and has returned 89.2% on a 3-year view (as at 07/02/2011) making it the fifth best performing Fund in the UK over three years! Last year was a relatively tough year for the fund - on a one year view it has returned a mere 38.2 per cent, meaning that it is only in the second quartile. The reason behind this is that there is currently a serious perception of ‘risk’ associated with ‘Small Caps’. In light of this, although marketed as ‘Smaller Companies’ Funds, the majority of managers in our sector invest solely in the FTSE 250. We however use the true definition of a Small Cap and limit our investments to solid businesses valued at less than GBP300 million. We believe this is where real growth and value can be found. Despite this Small Caps continue to remain materially unfashionable. Current investor sentiment seems to be seriously risk averse and the perceived image of risk associated with the small companies has left the small caps unfavoured with investors flocking towards the perceived ’safety’ of Blue Chips.
However, on a three year view the fund has returned 89.2% making it the UK’s fifth best performing Fund (out of 2840 Funds). For more information please click here (Source: Financial Express, 07/02/2011). Please bear in mind that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
The fund charges a 2.5% initial fee and a 1.5% per annum in management fees and has about GBP19.7m in funds under management. Investors can access it through various investment platforms including Hargeaves Lansdown’s Vantage and Transact or by investing directly via The Share Centre with a minimum investment of GBP1000.
The fund policy is to invest predominantly in securities of UK smaller companies admitted to or dealt in on any of the markets of the London Stock Exchange, including AIM and PLUS. The lack of research in these sectors means value can be created by investing in companies whose potential capital growth is not widely recognised by the market. We are unashamed value investors.
So as most of our competitors have focused on the FTSE 250 we have continued to do what we do best. We undertake a great deal of meticulous research in our stock selection to identify solid, under-valued cash generative businesses with great potential. Once identified we follow and invest heavily, taking advantage of the opportunities placed before us.
We focus on excellence and we focus on value.
Some of our best performers over the years have been Medusa Mining, Avanti Communications, Ascot MIning, Symphony Environmental, Stanley Gibbons, Domino’s Pizza UK and Telecom Plus.
The sell-off of certain stocks has made them more attractive than ever in terms of pure valuation - we view this as an opportunity to buy more.
Only make investments that are commensurate with your personal risk profile and investment horizon. We would like to draw your attention to the important risk warning at the end of this message. If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of an investment, you should seek independent financial advice. The value of your investment and the income from it can go down as well as up and you may not get back a significant proportion of your investment. We would also like to remind you that the price of shares can go down as well as up. You should always consider diversification as a means of managing risk.

The Deadline is April 5th to shelter this year’s gains from tax - do not miss out on your allowance!
What we are talking about are ISAs - a wrapper to protect your savings from capital gains tax *. You have until April 5th this year to use up your ISA allowance. You also have until the same day to use your annual SIPP contribution allowance.
We hope that you will use your ISA allowance buying shares in the SF t1ps Smaller Companies Growth Fund.
But whatever you use it for - use it. Don’t lose it.
An ISA is not an investment. It is a shelter in which you can stick investments to avoid Capital Gains Tax. You can stick in £10,200 this year. As such it is an ideal wrapper for those investments where you might expect capital growth such as the SF t1ps Smaller Companies Growth Fund. It really should be the cornerstone of EVERYONE’s portfolio. Even so, around two-thirds of consumers are not planning to make use of this valuable tax break. Don’t be one of them.
Are ISAs right for me?
Stocks & Shares ISAs involve taking higher risks (as investments can fall in value) however over the longer term they should have the potential to produce higher returns. This tax year you will be able to invest up to £10,200 in a Stocks and Shares ISA. Please remember that the tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each investor and may be subject to change in the future.
So whatever you actually use your ISA allowance on you SHOULD USE IT and time is running out. Naturally we hope that you invest your ISA in shares of the SF t1ps Smaller Companies Growth Fund - remember to take advice if you’re unsure whether these are suitable for you.
If you have any questions about investing in an ISA in the SF t1ps Smaller Companies Growth Fund email growthfund@t1psim.com or call 020 7562 3386.

It is of course well documented that the U.K. banking sector was teetering on the brink of oblivion in October 2008, but while the recriminations have rumbled on since then, as of yet there have been no great WikiLeak-style revelations to answer the multitude of questions arising from events that Autumn.
We do know that the asset bubble of the past decade culminated in a spectacular unravelling of many of the big High Street household names, and we have also been reliably informed by the FSA that the cause of this, at least as far as Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is concerned, was not wrongdoing but simply bad decision-making. While Sir Fred (The Shred) Goodwin may be in the clear, the question now is whether investors in the U.K. banking sector have a clear-cut opportunity to bottom fish some of the big high street names as the economic cycle finally starts to tilt upwards. Of course if the still shaky fundamentals continue to battle through flocks of black swans dropping a peripheral E.U. bailout here, or a Basel III regulatory tightening there, an indefinite rocky ride for the sector may still prevail overall.
Even so, WikiLeaks has without doubt played a part in the U.K.’s near-term banking news flow, as the rogue web publisher revealed that Bank of England (BoE) Governor Mervyn King was apparently less than flattering over the abilities of new Prime Minister David Cameron and new Chancellor George Osborne.

Another blog I like to read daily is Howard Lindzon. He provides daily posts on a wide range of topics including stocks, the market, business in general, Web 2.0, and some fun but interesting other topics. The best thing I like about his blog from a stock market point of view is that he does a good job explaining why trends are important when thinking about stocks. The discussion of trends is not limited to just a stocks price history but covers the underlying real world reasons which support the price trend.
