STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
- 1 -
The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Business review and future developments
The Company continued to trade throughout an extraordinary year and despite the challenges and logistical hurdles the business operated without interruption.
Earnings from investment advisory services which are derived from fund management fees relating to size of assets under management ('AUM') remained strong. The Firm's AUM increased over the year with an enhanced managed account business, while the Exotic Fund's NAV increased slightly, although management fee income dropped from the Fund due to cashflow constraints. The managed account business generated satisfactory returns with a small performance fee payable.
The Company maintains its Exotic Debt Fund which it feels retains substantial potential for investors although is subject to geo-political event volatility. This can go both ways, but has recently been improving with the election of President Biden.
Going concern
The business is performing satisfactorily in its current format although the environment remains challenging. After suffering a loss of £20,169 in 2019 it posted a profit of £40,837 in 2020.
With its strong balance sheet and substantial retained earning's it has a large capital buffer with net current assets of £620,130 and cash reserves of £468,885 the Company is in a strong position going forward.
Therefore the directors are of the view that the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Principal risks and uncertainties
Financial risk
As an investment manager, the company's operations are exposed to a number of financial risks that include the effects of changes in market prices, liquidity risk and interest rate risk on the AUM. These risks impact the fees payable on AUM.
The company has in place a risk and investment management process that seeks to limit the possible adverse effects on financial performance of AUM in adverse market developments. Our investment management process sets great store on capital preservation, which has worked well in volatile markets.
The company does not use derivative financial instruments or manage interest rate costs, and as such no hedge accounting has been applied in this accounting period. It tends to sell Euros and US dollars earnt in the business when it feels the rate is attractive and allows these positions to accrue when it feels the exchange rate is less attractive for conversion to GBP.
Given the size of the company, the directors have not delegated the responsibility of monitoring financial risk management to a sub-committee of the board. The directors set policies that are then implemented by the staff. The company has specific guidelines agreed by the directors to manage interest rate risk, credit risk and circumstances where it would be appropriate to use financial instruments to manage these.
Price risk
The company constantly reviews changes of market prices of AUM to ensure adverse movements are identified early and corrective action taken where necessary.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
- 2 -
Liquidity risk
The company manages its working capital to ensure there are sufficiently available funds for operations and current working capital requirements.
Key performance indicators
The
d
irector
s
consider management fees generated from the underlying fund to be a key performance indicator.
During the year the company generated £581,397 (2019: £294,756) of management fees.
Promoting the success of the company
The directors have considered the need to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of the members as a whole and to have regard to its stakeholders. In regard to this they have taken note of the following points:
All strategic decisions during the year were taken with a view to maximising the success of the Company in the long term by maintaining the Company’s reputation;
The Company paid all suppliers promptly and delivered a high quality, compliant service to its customers;
The Company’s operations had no material impact on the community other than generating tax revenues for the UK
,
jobs for suppliers in the U
K and employment of staff;
During the year, the Company switched to a 100% renewal energy supplier;
The Company is totally reliant on its good reputation with its customers to maintain success as it is a small company with limited marketing resources; and
The Company has only one member
.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
- 4 -
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 accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF ADELANTE ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED
- 5 -
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Adelante Asset Management Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the statement of income and retained earnings, the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102
The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
(United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of its profit for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditor's
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard
, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit
:
-
the information given in the strategic report and the directors' r
eport for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements
; and
-
the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identifie
d
material misstatements in the strategic report and the directors'
r
eport
.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors'
r
esponsibilities
s
tatement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company
'
s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below
.
The audit tests, including planning procedures, adopted for the audit of these financial statements are designed to assess and detect the risk of irregularities, including fraud. Our risk assessment of the likelihood of irregularities included the high degree of involvement of the experienced directors, which reduces the risk of irregularities. The audit team was competent to assess the risk and identify any potential irregularities. A thorough understanding of the processes, frameworks and authorisations in place was obtained from the directors and tested throughout the audit
.
As the company is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority a thorough understanding of the additional legislation and rules relating to this authorisation was also considered throughout the audit.
ADELANTE ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF ADELANTE ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED
- 7 -
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities
.
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1
Accounting policies
Company information
Adelante Asset Management Limited is a
private
company
limited by shares
incorporated in England and Wales.
The registered office is
4-8 Heddon Street, London, W1B 4BS.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements are prepared in
sterling
, which is the functional currency of the company.
Monetary a
mounts
in these financial statements are
rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares
publicly available consolidated financial statements
, including this company,
which are
intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities,
financial position and profit or loss
of the group
.
T
he company has
therefore
taken advantage of
e
xemptions from the following disclosure requirements:
-
Section 4 ‘Statement of Financial Position’ – Reconciliation of the opening and closing number of shares
;
-
Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ – Presentation of a statement of cash
f
low and related notes and disclosures
;
-
Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues’ – Carrying amounts, interest income/expense and net gains/losses for each category of financial instrument; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income
.
The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of
Adelante Asset Holdings Limited.
These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office
, 4-8 Heddon Street, London, W1B 4BS.
1.2
Going concern
At 31 December 2020, the company had net current assets of £6
true
20,130
and cash reserves of £468,885, which is sufficient to cover current liabilities for a period of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements.
Therefore the director is of the view that the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
1.3
Turnover
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for services provided in the normal course of business
, and
is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes
.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 11 -
1.4
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets
are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less estimated residual over its expected useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures, fittings & equipment
25% straight line
Computer equipment
25% straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and
is credited or charged to profit or loss
.
1.5
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting
period
end date, the
company
reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the
company
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
1.6
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Financial assets comprise cash at bank and in hand, together with trade and other debtors. A specific provision is made for debts for which recoverability is in doubt. Cash at bank and in hand is defined as all cash held in instant access bank accounts and used as working capital.
Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise all creditors except social security and other taxes, deferred income and provisions.
Assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies are translated to GBP at the balance sheet date at an appropriate year end exchange rate.
1.7
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
1.8
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

1.9
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.10
Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases,
including
any lease incentives received, are charged to
profit or loss
on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease
s
asset are consumed.
1.11
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation
in the period
are included in profit or loss.
1.12
The coronavirus pandemic has significantly disrupted individuals’ personal lives and businesses’ economic prospects in the UK and across the globe. The UK entered lockdown in March 2020 and some restrictions and social distancing provisions remain in place.
T
he
company has not been negatively a
ffect
ed by
COVID-19
and has continued to trade as before.
We have continued to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and deem this appropriate. We do not consider that a material uncertainty about our going concern status currently exists. In making this assessment we have considered the likely trading conditions for a period of twelve months from the date of our approval of these accounts.
2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Pillar 3 disclosures
The European Capital Requirements Directive introduced consistent capital adequacy standards and an associated supervisory framework in the EU based on the Basel II rules. The Directive is enforced in the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”). The framework consists of three ‘pillars’.
• Pillar 1 - This specifies the minimum capital requirements.
• Pillar 2 - This supervisory review process requires an assessment to be made of whether additional capital should be held against risks not covered by Pillar 1.
• Pillar 3 - This introduces public disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information and is designed to promote market discipline by providing market participants with key information on a firm’s risk exposures and risk management processes.
The Company has capital resources at the balance sheet date of £
581,093
all of which is tier one capital. The firm’s internal assessment of its risk capital requirement is £
67,000
which represents
the net wind down costs of the company.
The company has exposure to credit risk of £15,000, market risk of £20,000, but
is not exposed to any significant interest risk or securiti
s
ation risk.
