JM Finn Global Opportunities Accumulation 
HL comment
Our view on this Fund
After a difficult 2008, this fund performed reasonably well in 2009 and the outlook for 2010 is promising. Most of the global economy's growth is coming from non-Western countries, and this fund is therefore positioned in companies which are benefiting from growth in Asia and other emerging markets. Almost one third of the portfolio is exposed to commodities like food, energy and raw materials, which are expected to benefit from growing demand.

HL group comment: JM Finn
Our view on this Fund Management Group as a whole
The origins of J M Finn date back before the Second World War when John Finn set up the company as a commodity broker, principally trading in cereals and cotton. He was a born trader and after the war he felt the future for commodities was less promising. It was then, in 1945 he took over a small stockbroking firm and then re-named it J. M. Finn & Co in 1949. Today, the firm is better known for its private client stockbroking division, but it has also branched out in recent years to offer a small fund management proposition.

HL sector comment: Global Growth
Our view on this sector
The overseas holdings of UK investors have benefited from Sterling's continued weakness. Indeed already strong returns from stock markets have been bolstered by gains from currency movements. It is fair to say that many other countries have fared better than the UK; indeed many developed countries came out of recession more quickly. This sector offers a wide choice of funds and if you are comparing performance you need to be aware that you will not always be comparing like with like.
