**ALL-WEATHER INVESTING**

We aim to deliver positive returns come rain or shine. If we are to be good all-weather investors, we cannot be dependent on the direction of markets. To avoid that dependency, we always hold investments in what we call growth and protection. We hold thesealongside each other, changing the allocation to each over time. When the market sun shines, we expect our growth assets to prosper. When a market storm hits, our protective assets should provide shelter, defending the portfolio from a downturn. At Ruffer,we are committed to being good stewards of our clients’ assets. To that end, environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are fully integrated into our investment process. Whether it’s climate change or indigenous rights, executive pay or workforce safety,we believe our considered approach helps us make better decisions. To the advantage of our clients’ portfolios. To the benefit of the companies we invest in. And for the good of the environment and society.
