HL research - our view on this fund
Slowing global growth and sovereign debt concerns in the euro zone are likely to continue weighing on markets. Against this backdrop, Nigel Thomas believes good quality companies with strong and visible cash flows are likely to outperform. Holdings such as Diageo, GlaxoSmithKline, Unilever, Vodafone, Royal Dutch Shell and Pearson make up almost 20% of the portfolio, and the fund has delivered solid long-term outperformance.
