Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
Although the fund struggled at the start of this year with its banking exposure, performance improved over the summer. Bill Mott bought into some of the more economically sensitive areas of the market like pub operators, retailers and house builders on weakness. He feels that getting the timing right helped as some then bounced from lows. Going forward, he expects steep interest rate cuts to help a frail UK economy.
