HL research - our view on this fund
Simon Somerville believes inflation will rise, and this will make it easier for domestic companies to grow profit margins. Inflation could also help weaken the yen, which should be positive for electronics manufacturers which rely heavily on exports. The focus remains on high quality companies paying good dividends.
