HL Research - Our view on this Fund

Mark Dampier Higher risk high yielding shares and the broader based corporate bond market has been volatile in the fall out over the credit crisis. This has not helped the performance of this fund as it invests in this area which is currently being overlooked by investors. Adrian Frost feels that investors are overdoing the doom and gloom in the bond markets and this is creating some good opportunities in terms of attractive yields and growth prospects.
