HL group comment: Neptune
Our view on this Fund Management Group as a whole
Neptune Investment Management was formed as an independent and privately owned company by Robin Geffen in May 2002. Since then, the group has launched a number of core and specialist funds and have built strong track records that compare extremely favourably to their respective peer groups. One of the attractions of the firm is that it has created a company structure where employees can own a stake in the business aligning the goals of the fund managers and staff with those of investors. With excellent performance across some of the funds, we believe the company has bright prospects looking ahead. CF (Capita Financial) is simply the administrator for this fund and has no involvement in the day to day management of the fund.

HL sector comment: UK Equity Income
Our view on this sector
With the UK stock market yielding a similar level to gilts, investing in equity income funds could be opportune. Many funds yield in excess of 5% currently. In performance terms it is fair to say that many of these funds have struggled this year by being under exposed to mining shares and some over exposed to financial companies. Going forwards, this sector could provide a core to many investor's portfolios with funds offering the prospect of rising income and capital growth.
