Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
Rob Burnett has stayed away from the banking sector over the last year which has proven beneficial. However, he has recently started to invest in the diversified and conservative banks across Europe which he feels will survive the crisis and emerge stronger. He is prepared to weather the short term volatility in order to capitalise when the turning point arrives. We expect the fund to make good long term progress.
