HL research - our view on this fund
Adrian Frost and Adrian Gosden have positioned the portfolio in defensive sectors such as utilities, pharmaceuticals and telecoms, and avoided areas which have been weak, such as the chemicals and mining sectors, which has helped performance. They have used the fund's cash and proceeds from the recent Northumbrian Water takeover to add to holdings in BT, Tate & Lyle, Diageo, and Smith & Nephew. These are perceived to be sound, well-managed companies who took radical action during the last financial crisis in 2008 to improve their balance sheets. The managers believe these businesses should prove resilient in future.
