25th feb: Hedge fund giant Man Group impressed with full year results driven by acquisitions, with surging sales and performance fees from its AHL quant funds. Assets rose 35% to $72.9bn (£47bn) in 2014, with redemptions from group funds declining 6%. Adjusted profit before tax was up 62% at $481m and adjusted eps up 73% at 24.4 cents. Gross sales rose 36% to $21.9bn as the AHL Diversified trend-following fund returned 32%, making it one of the best-performing hedge funds in the world over the last 12 months. AHL Evolution and AHL Currency Fund, both smaller than AHL Diversified, rose 20% and 59% respectively, in what broker Shore Capital described as "a stellar year" for the family of algorithm-driven funds.

Bought 15000 emg shares 194 p including stamp duty

cashed in on hsba 581.6 p for seventy pounds profit this morning. Indexes high at moment, just think maybe it could go as low as 500p maybe or it could creep up but better imo to hold cash and wait for dip in index.

sl & emg look good bets medium term. Smds expressed worries about weakening euro damaging profits yet the share price has gone up 30% in spite of the pound strengthening 10%(check my post point iii 27th June on smds board).

hot I'm still not back in axa fram but jeez it's still rocketing http://www.hl.co.uk/funds/fund-discounts,-prices--and--factsheets/search-results/a/axa-framlington-biotech-class-z-accumulation/charts Reckon we were unlucky to hit it's worst dip back in March of last year. Big question is whether it's the best fund to be in or just another bubble to burst.

percentages are ratios of fund holding not performance levels but I can go into greater detail about performance mid week when I get some spare time.

I'm really pleased with how wife's fund portfolio is performing Artemis Global Income Class I 32.4% Marlborough Multi Cap Income Class P 21.2% Woodford Equity Income Class Z 19.2% , Lindsell Train UK Equity Class D Accumulation Shares7.1%, Old Mutual Global Investors North American Equity Class R 6.9%, Troy Trojan Income Class I 6.8%, Royal London Sterling Extra Yield Bond Class Y 6.4%

I agree with posters on cna board dividend will drop by same % as final div drop so probably around 12p next year.Im not a great fan of centrica their tariffs in general always seem to be at the high end,same with bt before they added "free" sport (how long before they charge extra). Questor says avoid http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/questor/11423843/Questor-share-tip-Avoid-Centrica-as-dividend-cut-is-just-the-beginning.html Good article.

Poor results in rns this morning http://www.lse.co.uk/regulatory-news-article.asp?ArticleCode=wowhdip9&ArticleHeadline=Final_Results

100 share top up on hsbc out of spare cash in account.Solid forecasts for hsbc on morningstar and a low pe. http://tools.morningstar.co.uk/uk/stockreport/default.aspx?SecurityToken=0P00007OFH%5D3%5D0%5DE0WWE$$ALL

I think it's tempting to just sit on them take at least the larger of the 4 dividends Below link gives a good assessment http://www.hl.co.uk/news/articles/hsbc-2014-full-year-results-profits-disappointed I think 730 p with a 12 month timescale is possible.

Do you have a target sell price in mind for hsba?

lol

Your mates on the hsbc board!

Also long hsba 576.93 p X 5000 shares.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-23/hsbc-says-2014-profit-fell-17-missing-estimates-as-costs-rise Part of me says you got in at a good price part says best wait to see how the price goes tomorrow, alot depends on whether dividend gets maintained, busy workload so haven't had time to do much Web research yet http://www.hl.co.uk/shares/shares-search-results/h/hsbc-holdings-plc-ordinary-usd0.50/share-research 20 c final quarter ex div coming up early March definite plus point.like you say further drops may be seen but not a bad buy in price,I guess your looking for around 600p 750 profit?
