Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
The fund has underperformed in these extreme market conditions, but Philip Wolstencroft is confident that his investment technique will deliver long term outperformance. The fund’s exposure to banks has been lowered as he expects this sector to be vulnerable to further disappointments. The fund underwent some minor changes earlier this year resulting in a larger number of holdings. We hope this extra layer of diversification proves beneficial.
