subject: Re Your ISA
to: "Keith Briffa" <k.briffa@uea.ac.uk>



   Dear Keith,

   There is a substantial deposit cash balance in your ISA which currently stands at
   18,350.49.I would like to invest the majority of this to try and take advantage of
   the setback seen in equity markets in the last 2 or 3 weeks.Also,under the HMRC rules which
   govern ISAs, we should not hold significant cash balances for long periods.

   The cash balance has been increased recently by the receipt of the 6,840 take over
   proceeds of the former holding in Scottish & Newcastle.

   Taking up the RBS rights issue,as agreed, will account for 4,612 of the deposit balance
   and I will be writing to you shortly to recommend taking up the HBOS rights issue which,if
   you agree,will account for a further 203.50 ( your holding in HBOS is a small one ).On
   this basis,the total rights calls would be 4,815.50 which would leave a cash balance of
   13,534.99.I would like to keep a modest balance on deposit to meet our management
   fees;possible further rights issues calls etc.If 1,534.99 were retained,this would leave
   12,000 available for investment.

   I suggest investing 6,000 into a new holding in JP Morgan Fleming New Europe.The fund
   invests in companies in Central and Eastern Europe and Russia with particular emphasis on
   the latter.This  Eastern Europe and Russia emerging markets fund has produced good capital
   growth from a major region of economic development with the unit price rising by
   42.5%:185.5% and 351.7% over the last1,3 and 5 year periods.The unit price is 247.3p.The
   income return is very low with a gross yield of 0.6%.

   I suggest the balance of 6,000 be split to add 4,000 and 2,000 respectively to the
   existing holdings in BG Group and Pacific Horizon to increase their values to 9,550 and
   5,375.BG Group is the former British Gas and the company is currently achieving record
   earnings driven by the huge rise in natural gas prices.The company has transformed over the
   years into an international oil and gas business from its former businesses of
   production,transmission and distribution of gas in the UK.Pacific Horizon invests in the
   Asia Pacific economies ( ex the poorly performing economy in Japan ) which continues to be
   an area of considerable  growth potential.The managers have consistently performed well in
   capital growth terms.The respective shares prices and gross yields are 12.82 and 0.8% and
   159p and 0.8%

   I hope these ideas will be helpful.

   Kind Regards.

   Gerald.
