HL research - our view on this fund
The tough economic outlook is not a surprise to Neil Woodford, who has positioned the portfolio defensively for some time. However, he believes there are certain companies with sustainable dividends and earnings that can still thrive in this environment. These include pharmaceutical companies such as GlaxoSmithKline and AstraZeneca, and tobacco companies such as BAT and Reynolds American, which have been positive for performance recently against an uncertain economic backdrop.
