Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
The fund's defensive stance in early 2009 meant that its performance lagged the sector. However, as Daniel Nickols slowly became more positive in his outlook, he introduced exposure to some economically sensitive companies which have staged a strong rally. Performance began to improve as a result. Currently, he is particularly keen on the oil, mining and technology sectors, which he expects to continue growing this year.
