Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
Neil Woodford believes the UK economic recovery is far from complete. Banks' balance sheets require further rebuilding and the employment picture remains difficult. With this in mind he maintains his cautious approach, staying away from the financial and mining sectors, preferring the more defensive pharmaceutical, tobacco, utility and aerospace sectors. These companies have strong prospects of growing their dividends and are attractively valued.
