Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund

Andrew Rose is now seeing opportunities in economically sensitive areas and the property sector which he believes has been oversold but has good growth prospects. Given the uncertainty facing the world economy he is taking advantage of the extremely depressed valuations and we believe this could bolster returns longer term.
