HL Research - Our view on this Fund

Mark Dampier Mark Lyttleton expects to see further volatility in the short term as a weak financial system and a weak UK consumer act as potential headwinds. While this fund has generally enjoyed solid performance over the longer term, it has been volatile in the short term while there has been a sharp reversal of themes in the market. The fund remains focused on the strengths in companies like the oil & gas producers and selected financials.
