Market Valuation and ForecastThe FTSE 100 has an invisible barrier at 6,000

At the start of December the FTSE 100 was close to 5,900 and its Cyclically Adjusted PE (CAPE) was at 13.2.That’s below the long-term average, which is around 15 to 18 depending on whose data you use.

This means the UK market is still at historically attractive levels; far more attractive than they have been formost of the last 30 years. From these levels equities have generally performed well over the following decadeor two.

Because of this attractive valuation, those who use active asset allocation may want to hold more equitiesthan normal. The Ben Graham-based method used in the Market Valuation table on the next page indicatesan equity allocation slightly above the baseline 50%.

Actively adjusting asset allocation levels based on the market's valuation multiple is not an exact science. Soif you use this approach to reducing risk then just being somewhere in the range indicated in that table wouldprobably keep Ben Graham happy.

Regarding the FTSE 100’s invisible barrier, these arbitrary “resistance” levels are a fundament part of howshare prices work. They occur because there is no obviously correct value for any given company or market.Instead there is only a wide range in which the price seems vaguely appropriate.

So for the FTSE 100 a valuation today of anywhere between say 5,000 and7,000 could be reasonable. An intelligent investor may well be able tocome up with reasons as to why it should be at either level.

Given that there is no obviously correct level, market participants havelittle to go on other than the prior level of the market, which eventuallyspawned an entire philosophy known as technical analysis. However,that’s not something you’ll see much of in this newsletter.

Model Portfolio ReviewA down month, but intrinsic value appears to be increasing

Some recent bad news for a couple of holdings (Tullett Prebon and Balfour Beatty) led to a decline inthe capital value of the portfolio by 2.3% this month. As always, the short-term performance of theportfolio is interesting but not important (note that investors always say this when a portfolio goesdown, but fail to mention it when their fund does well). However, there are some pieces of informationwhich arise month-to-month may be useful.

Looking at the half-year results announced over the last month (which are summarised shortly), in eachcase the dividend has been increased. The increases are 7%, 10%, 5%, 4.5% and 4.4%. Ultimately it isthe income from an investment, or the potential to produce an income, which sets its intrinsic value, soit is pleasing to see continued dividend growth among the portfolio's holdings.

Next month the process of continually improving the portfolio continues with a new Sell Alert, andcurrent it's likely to be either Mears (total return of 26% since September 2011) or N Brown (total returnof 50% since May 2012) leaving the portfolio, but of course much can change in a month.

The current trading pattern is two Buy Alerts to one Sell Alert, and this is set to continue through 2013.This will carry on until the portfolio has 30 holdings, at which point the pattern will change to one BuyAlert and one Sell Alert on alternate months. This will keep the portfolio towards the cutting edge interms of its combined growth, yield, value and quality, and so hopefully maximise returns whileminimising risks.

If you need additional investment ideas then you may want to look in the ‘green zone’ of the modelportfolio’s current holdings.

DividendsIn November there were dividends totalling £300 from Mears, Centrica, Tullett Prebon, Go-Ahead,Aviva, RSA and BAE Systems. The rolling 12 month dividend income for the model portfolio is some£896 ahead of its benchmark, a FTSE 100 index tracker.

Last month's buy alertCranswick was last month's buy alert. 240 shares were was added to the model portfolio on November6th at 769.1p. As usual these shares are likely to be held for anywhere between 1 and 5 years, althoughit could be much longer.

Recent half-year resultsHalf-year results and interim management statements are a useful way to keep on top of events. They aresummarised here for information only, and are unlikely to result in any changes to the portfolio.

Vodafone half-year results 13th November

"One of the world's largest mobile companies providing a wide range of services including voice,messaging, data and fixed broadband."

Revenue down 0.4% Adjusted EPS up 1.4% Dividend up 7%

Vittorio Colao, Group Chief Executive, commented:

"We remain very positive about the longer-term opportunities, and our Vodafone 2015 strategy reflects ourconfidence in the future. This is based on a new strategic approach to our consumer offer and pricing in Europenow being rolled out, an increasing focus on unified communications in enterprise, and an attractive and growingexposure to emerging markets. Fundamental to the success of this strategy will be an ongoing enhancement ofthe consumer and enterprise customer experience through continuous investment in high speed data networks,and an increased drive towards standardisation and simplification across the Group to maximise cost efficiencyand accelerate execution."

ICAP half-year results 14th November

"ICAP is the world's leading voice and electronic interdealer broker and provider of post trade risk andinformation services."

Revenue down 14% Adjusted EPS down 21% Dividend up 10%

Michael Spencer, Group Chief Executive Officer, said:

"This has been one of the toughest periods in my 36 year career in the wholesale financial markets. Tradingvolumes this year have fallen significantly across nearly all asset classes and geographies whether equities,futures, FX, commodities, fixed income and also OTC. This has been caused by a combination of factors: globaleconomic weakness, the continuing Eurozone crisis, bank recapitalisation and deleveraging, uncertainty overregulatory reform, quantitative easing and near zero rates, to name the main ones. I do not believe this negativeenvironment will continue indefinitely but equally I do not expect it to improve imminently. It has been a time toweather a hard storm and prepare thoroughly for financial regulatory reform."

“Experience tends to confirm a long-held notion that beingprepared, on a few occasions in a lifetime, to act promptly inscale, in doing some simple and logical thing, will oftendramatically improve the financial results of that lifetime. A fewmajor opportunities, clearly recognizable as such, will usuallycome to one who continuously searches and waits, with a curiousmind that loves diagnosis involving multiple variables. And thenall that is required is a willingness to bet heavily when the oddsare extremely favorable, using resources available as a result ofprudence and patience in the past.”

- Charlie Munger

SSE half-year results 14th November

"We are the UK's second largest generation business, with an ownership interest in over 100 thermaland renewable power stations, with a total capacity of just over 11,300MW."

Revenue down 3% Adjusted EPS up 41% Dividend up 5%

Lord Smith of Kelvin, Chairman of SSE, said:

"SSE's balanced model of market-based and economically-regulated businesses, and the robustness of itsstrategy of focusing on operations and investment in each of those businesses, continues to prove its worth. Itscommitment to the dividend remains the hallmark of a company that takes a disciplined and long-term approachto business here in the UK and in Ireland. For this reason, there can be every confidence that SSE will extendfurther its record of annual above-inflation dividend growth, and it is targeting a full-year increase of at least 2%more than RPI inflation, to around 84p, for 2012/13 and annual increases that are above RPI inflation in thefollowing years."

MITIE half-year results 19th November

"We provide facilities, property and energy management for a wide range of public and private sectorbusinesses."

Revenue up 5.6% Adjusted EPS up 1% Dividend up 4.5%

Ruby McGregor-Smith CBE, Chief Executive of MITIE Group PLC, commented:

"This has been a positive start to the year for MITIE. We have won and retained key contracts and expanded ourhealthcare offering via the purchase of Enara. we are particularly pleased to have successfully mobilised andstarted our largest ever contract, with Lloyds Banking Group."

"We are confident that we will continue to build on our long track record of sustainable, profitable growth."

Cranswick half-year results 26th November

"Cranswick is a leading UK food supplier providing the consumer with a range of great tasting food thatincludes fresh pork, gourmet sausages, cooked meats, air dried bacon and sandwiches along with avariety of non-meat products."

Revenue up 6% Adjusted EPS up 19% Dividend up 4.4%

Cranswick's Chairman, Martin Davey, said:

"It is pleasing to report continued growth in sales, in what continues to be a difficult economic and consumerenvironment, reflecting the on-going popularity of pork with the consumer, driven by both the versatility and thelow relative price of pork to other proteins. Rising input costs were a feature of trading during the period and thishas continued into the second half, although efficiency improvements brought about by investment undertakenby the business and on-going constructive pricing discussions with customers have helped offset the full impactof this."

“Greggs is the UK’s leading bakery retailer specialising in freshly made bakery food. With over 1,570shops across the UK served by ten regional bakeries, our 20,000 employees are proud to serve 6 millioncustomers each week.” - Greggs annual results 2011

OverviewAfter the addition of Cranswick (producer of sausages, bacon and other meat products) to the portfolio lastmonth, the food theme continues this month with Greggs, the bakers.

Greggs began life as a one-man-and-a-bicycle delivery service in the 1930s. The first shop opened in the1950s and expansion really began in the 1960s and 70s. Today Greggs has around 1,500 shops and isdifferentiated to some extent by its “wheat to eat” concept, where it produces its own food products for salein its own shops.

The company has an outstandingly consistent track record, even for a business in such a non-cyclical industryas food production and retail. The clearest indicator of this is the fact that the dividend has been raised for27 consecutive years, which should warm the heart of any income investor.

The wide expanse of green shows that three of the four main quantitative factors of growth, yield,quality/consistency and value are stronger than average (as measured by the FTSE 100).

The new “Borrowings/Profit” ratio replaces interest cover in this table, although it has long been usedalongside interest cover in this newsletter’s buy analysis process. This ratio has replaced interest cover in thistable because it is perhaps more useful to look at the total level of borrowings rather than the interest paidon them, although both are still checked.

The valuation of 15.7 times the last 10 year’s earnings average is above the market’s 13.7, but this is not amajor problem as the valuation can easily be described as reasonable for a growing, high yield company.

Overall the initial quantitative analysis shows that Greggs does appear to be a high quality, high growth, highyield and reasonably valued company.

Investment analysis by checklistSuccessful investing is about the systematic application of a methodical approach to achieving specificobjectives, and a checklist is a great aid towards that end. This checklist should help ensure that the companybeing looked at really is an above average company trading at a below average price.

Would this company be the first or second holding from this particular industry? YES Greggs is both a food producer and a food retailer. In both cases it is the second company in theportfolio, with Cranswick being the other producer and Tesco the other retailer.

Does the business generate earnings across multiple geographic regions? No Greggs is UK based and effectively only generates revenues locally. Currently about 50% of the modelportfolio’s sales and profits are generated in the UK. For a diversified portfolio that’s plenty of exposure to asingle economy (even though the UK based holdings are very defensive, i.e. SSE, Go-Ahead, Centrica etc).Future new holdings may be more international in order to keep UK exposure below 50%.

Does the business have diverse operations, including customers, suppliers and key staff? YES Greggs serves many millions of customers and isn’t reliant on a small number of key staff for its success.In terms of suppliers it doesn’t appear to be critically dependent on any single one.

Is the company in the leading group within its industry? YES Greggs is the leading bakery retailing specialist.

Has the company been highly successful in the past? YES As the chart above shows, Greggs has been consistently growing sales, profits and dividends for a verylong time. Dividends have been raised for 27 consecutive years.

Does the company have any low-cost and durable competitive advantages? No Greggs doesn’t have a low-cost and durable competitive advantage, but then almost no companies do.What it does have is a well-regarded brand and a well-run operation with lots of expertise built up over a longperiod of time. One competitive point of note is that it is both a baker and a retailer, creating its ownproducts for sale in its own outlets. This is different to most of its competitors and perhaps give it a degreeof control that others lack.

GREGGS LONG-TERM RESULTS

Page 9

Does the company have a consistent operating history within the same industry? YES Greggs has been a shop-front baker since the 1950s. There has been very little deviation from that baseover the years.

Has the company been free of any major crises during the last decade? If there were any,were they resolved successfully?YES Greggs has been crisis free for a long time. The closest they have come to a crisis in recent years was notso much a crisis, but perhaps a minor period of stagnation which led to a major review of the business. In2006 the business slowed somewhat, perhaps as the boom years of the previous decade were coming to anend. Management performed a comprehensive review of the business and saw the opportunity torestructure for a renewed period of growth.

From 2007 until now this new growth strategy has been rolled out and has so far matched expectations.

Is the company free of obvious current problems or threats (including excessive debt) whichcould materially impact its future prosperity?YES There don’t appear to be any obvious major problems, either today or in the near future. The companyhas zero borrowings and a pension fund which should be easily manageable.

Is it unlikely that the company’s main economic engine will become obsolete in the nextdecade?YES Greggs is a baker and bakery retailer, producing and selling sandwiches, cakes, pasties, coffee and othereveryday foods. It is unlikely that sandwiches or pasties will be disrupted by a new technology or change inconsumer behaviour. This does not mean that the future is risk free. There could be changes in consumertastes, or a sandwich-based food scare, or something similar. But the odds of pasties becoming obsolete isprobably very small indeed.

SummaryGreggs appears to be another high quality, relatively defensive company which is available at a below averageprice with above average yields. It will be added to the model portfolio in the days after this newsletter ispublished, with the usual allocation of 1/30th of the portfolio’s total value.
