MANAGEMENT REPORT
Chairman's Statement
Performance
I am delighted to report a strong growth in the company's Net
Asset Value (NAV) per ordinary share of 19.5% on a net dividends
reinvested basis with debt at fair value(1) , our key performance
measure, ahead of the composite benchmark index which was 70% FTSE
World Ex UK and 30% FTSE All-Share Index from 22 March 2017 and 50%
FTSE All-Share Index and 50% FTSE World Ex UK Index until 21 March
2017. The total return on the benchmark index was 15.1% over the
period and our fund's pleasing outperformance of 4.4%(2) points was
generated primarily by strong stock selection.
(1) 18.2% with debt at par
(2) with debt at fair value, and 3.1% outperformance with debt
at par
Earnings per share
Strong underlying dividend growth from the investment portfolio
contributed to an increased level of income and earnings. In
addition, the first half of the financial year saw a much lower
level of sterling when compared to the first half of the previous
year, resulting in higher overseas dividends when translated back
into sterling. As a result, earnings per share for the year rose by
12.2%, from 16.4p to 18.4p.
Debentures
The company had two long-term debentures which were taken out
many years ago when interest rates were much higher.
The first debenture matured in January 2018 and as already
notified to shareholders the board redeemed this with the company's
cash reserves (there are more details of this on pages 54 and 55 of
the annual financial report).
The second debenture does not mature until 2023. During the past
year, the board has looked closely at various options to repay or
refinance this loan. There would be an upfront cost in doing so,
but the company would benefit over the long term from a much
reduced interest cost and improved earnings profile. The board
believes that these benefits outweigh the costs and therefore
intends to progress this matter further over the coming months.
This is not a simple exercise, but the board are keen to achieve
this if the considerable practical obstacles can be overcome.
Dividends
It is proposed that a fourth and final dividend of 6.00p per
share will be paid on 29 March 2018 to shareholders on the Register
of Members at close of business on 23 February 2018, bringing the
total payment for 2017 to 16.5p, an increase of 4.4% on last year.
This dividend payment is well covered by earnings per share of
18.4p, allowing a further increase in the company's revenue
reserves to 25.4p per share, after the payment of third quarterly
and proposed final dividends.
If the dividend is approved, it will mark the 46th year of
successive dividend increases, a clear illustration of how the
investment trust model can deliver steady above inflation income
returns even during volatile market environments.
Not paying the high cost of the debenture that matured in
January 2018 for the forthcoming year will benefit earnings per
share. Interest savings are GBP2.04 million per annum and the board
intends to reflect this and the strong growth in dividends in the
underlying portfolio in dividend payments going forward.
Discount
Last year I noted the large discount at which the shares had
traded. It is pleasing to report an improved situation, with the
average discount over the year having narrowed from 15.5% last year
to 13.1% this year. Further progress has been achieved since the
year end.
As always it is difficult to analyse exactly what causes
discounts to change but the board and managers are pursuing a clear
long-term strategy for our fund in a number of areas and we believe
this has generated new shareholder interest.
-- The change in manager and benchmark has improved Brunner's
overall appeal to a wider audience of investors
-- The balanced stock picking approach has demonstrated that it
can deliver strong returns in a range of market environments
-- There has been a consistent growth in dividends supported by strong revenue reserves
-- There is an active programme to raise investor awareness
-- There has been a small use of buybacks when the discount has
looked out of line; 164,931 shares were bought back during the year
at an average price of 597.4p
Brunner in the media
Brunner has a marketing programme to raise awareness of its
investment profile and to improve demand. 2017 has seen Brunner
enjoying a year of strong media coverage. This coupled with
advertising has produced a successful marketing strategy which
benefits the company's shareholders. This year the company has also
focused on enhancing Brunner's online presence, and the ease with
which information can be accessed by shareholders online. An
important element of this programme has been the refreshing of the
company's website. The board carefully oversees the expenses
associated with running the marketing plan ensuring that they are
kept to a sensible level.
Environmental, Social and Governance matters - responsible
investment
Brunner's investment manager is an active steward of the
company's assets. ESG factors are integrated into investment
analysis at Allianz Global Investors as a natural extension of the
risk mitigation tools used by the portfolio managers. The manager
is a 'holder' not 'trader' of the assets managed for us: the
manager believes in the value of working with companies to help
them build sustainable businesses, rather than reacting to
day-to-day news flow. Brunner's investment manager actively engages
with the companies in the portfolio on governance, environmental,
social and business conduct issues and believes that this can help
unlock alpha potential in companies, as well as protect companies
from downside risks.
There is more information about the manager's engagement,
stewardship and proxy voting activities and a link to further
details on page 17 of the annual financial report.
Outlook
The economic backdrop is as positive as it has been for many
years. The US economy continues to make steady progress with a
mostly supportive if somewhat unpredictable political environment.
Continental Europe is experiencing its strongest period of economic
growth since the financial crisis, which bodes well for Brunner's
significant investments in the region. Less robust is the UK
economy, where political uncertainty and sluggish growth suggests
it may be a while before the UK regains its poise. Although the
company has a significant number of UK listed investments, the vast
majority of these are international businesses, meaning that
overall exposure to the domestic UK economy remains modest.
Looking forward, the main risks relate to financial markets
themselves. Valuations are high, especially in the US, and there
are signs that market breadth is deteriorating as investors bid up
the prices of certain groups of growth stocks to ever higher
prices. In this environment, the board takes comfort in the
investment manager's balanced approach to stock picking. Brunner's
investments consist of strongly financed companies with good growth
prospects on sensible valuations. The portfolio is diversified
across a wide range of sectors and geographies without being overly
exposed to any one particular theme or sector. This approach has
served the company well over the long term and we are confident
will continue to do so in the future.
Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting will be held at Trinity House,
Trinity Square, Tower Hill, London, EC3N 4DH on 22 March 2018, and
on behalf of the board, I look forward to meeting those
shareholders who are able to attend.

Risk Policy
The board operates a risk management policy to ensure that the
level of risk taken in pursuit of the board's objectives and in
implementing its strategy are understood. The principal risks
identified by the board are set out in the table below, together
with the actions taken to mitigate these risks. The process by
which the directors monitor risk is described in the Audit
Committee Report on page 62 of the annual financial report.
Risk Appetite
The directors' approach to risk is to identify where there are
risks and to note mitigation actions taken and then to look at the
probability of the event and consider the extent to which the
resulting residual risk is acceptable, which is defined as the
board's risk appetite. As a result of this exercise the risks are
rated as 'red' or 'high' when the risk is of concern and sufficient
mitigation measures are not possible or not yet in place; 'amber'
or 'moderate' when the risk is of concern but sufficient measures
are defined and have been or are being implemented; and 'green' or
'acceptable' when the risk is acceptable and no further measures
are needed. The nature of the company's business means that a
certain amount of risk must be taken for the objectives to be met
and it is not surprising that portfolio risk types earn amber
ratings.
Principal Risks
A more detailed version of the table below, in the form of a
risk matrix, is reviewed and updated by the audit committee at
least twice yearly. The principal risks are broadly unchanged from
the previous year.

manager employs the company's gearing tactically
within a strategic range set by the board. The board
also meets annually specifically to discuss strategy,
including investment strategy.

Trust Company (SSBTC) and Northern Trust (NT).
* Agreed Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs) are in place and the
board receives reports against these.
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Emerging Risks: The board also considers the impact from
emerging risks that are not yet know or fully identifiable, such as
economic, regulatory and political risks arising from the
implementation of the UK's exit from the European Union or other
geopolitical factors. The board maintains close relations with its
advisers (auditors, lawyers and manager) and will make preparations
for mitigation of these risks as and when they are known or can be
anticipated.
Risk Appetite:
Green Risk is acceptable, no additional measures needed
Amber Risk is of concern, but sufficient measures are defined and being implemented
Red Risk is of concern, sufficient mitigation measures not possible or not yet in place
* The board identifies risks, considers controls and mitigation,
and then evaluates whether its risk appetite is satisfied. This
column shows whether the residual risks, measured against the
board's risk appetite, are satisfactory. This check enables the
board to conclude that its assessment of risk is in line with its
risk appetite.
In addition to the principal risks above, the board has
identified more general risks, for example relating to compliance
with accounting, tax, legal and regulatory requirements and to the
provision of services from third parties. As in all companies, the
board is alert to the risks of financial crime and threat of cyber
attacks and monitors reports provided by third party service
providers on how these threats are being handled. After ensuring
that there are appropriate measures in place, the board considers
these risks are effectively mitigated.
Directors' Responsibility Statement
The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report
and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and
regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare
financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the
directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in
accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under company law the directors must not approve the financial
statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or
loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial
statements, the directors are required to:
-- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed; and
-- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis
unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will
continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting
records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that
the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They
are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and
hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection
of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity
of the corporate and financial information included on the
company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the
preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ
from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement under Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule
4.1.12
The directors, at the date of the approval of this Report, each
confirm to the best of their knowledge that:
-- the financial statements, prepared in accordance with United
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, give a true and
fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit
of the company;
-- the Strategic Report includes a fair review of the
development and performance of the business and the position of the
company, together with a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties that they face; and
-- the annual financial report, taken as a whole, is fair,
balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary
for shareholders to assess the company's performance, business
model and strategy.
This responsibility statement was approved by the board of
directors on 14 February 2018 and signed on its behalf by:
