Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
This high conviction portfolio has not been immune to the market falls this year. The bias in medium sized companies has been detrimental although there was a slight increase in the fund’s larger company holdings over the summer months. Areas which have been positive include selective holdings in the US and technology sector. This fund should benefit longer term.
