Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
Richard Buxton expects a more uneven pattern of returns this year amidst worries over the sustainability of UK economic recovery. While the fund retains its bias towards economically sensitive sectors such as financials, he has taken steps to help position the portfolio for an increasingly volatile market. The fund therefore also has some exposure to defensive companies like Centrica, Tesco and Royal Dutch Shell to help provide some balance.
