The trust’s investment manager, Dan Whitestone, noted that global markets performed well in September, particularly in the US, supported by AI-related developments and Federal Reserve rate cuts. However, the UK market faced challenges due to fiscal concerns and weak consumer confidence. The trust continued to reduce exposure to UK domestic earners and increased overseas investments.

Looking ahead, the manager acknowledged the UK’s economic challenges but emphasized compelling value in UK small and mid-cap stocks. M&A activity and share buybacks are expected to remain active. The trust ended September with **gross exposure at 116%** and **net exposure at 108%**.
