August proved to be a difficult month for the Company, with performance impacted by two stock specific disappointments which caused the portfolio to underperform its benchmark. Shares in Hill & Smith fell after the company reported a reduction in first half profits caused by short-term project delays in the UK's road programme and adverse weather in the first quarter. Shares in veterinary group CVS fell after it too admitted to being affected by the severe weather earlier in the year, and also by the weaker than expected performance of some recent acquisitions. On the positive side, the Company benefited from good share price rises in a number of other holdings notably GB Group, Next Fifteen, Warpaint and Tatton Asset Management. There was profit taking in many industrial engineering companies, and given our significant overweight sector position in this area, this also contributed to underperformance. We have maintained a higher weighting to good companies with significant international exposure, and have continued to reduce or sell holdings where our conviction has weakened. 20 September 2018 ENDS Latest information is available by typing www.blackrock.co.uk/brsc on the internet, "BLRKINDEX" on Reuters, "BLRK" on Bloomberg or "8800" on Topic 3 (ICV terminal).
