Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
The US slowdown has fed into the equity markets which in turn has affected the performance of this fund. This fund struggled earlier this year as it had low exposure to the strongly performing energy sector. While its low exposure to the financial sector has partly helped we hope that its exposure to the healthcare sector, which is often a more resilient sector in a downturn, should help performance going forward.
