Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
Compared to its peer group the fund has underperformed over the last year, mainly due to its property exposure. Jacqueline Kerr decided not to sell the fund’s property holding as she feels it provides diversification and the costs of selling would be detrimental. Where there has been cash in the fund, it has been used to buy the SLI AAA Income Fund and this has proven extremely resilient given the market conditions of the last year.
