HL research - our view on this fund
2011 has been a tough year and most global funds have suffered. However, Graham French continues to look for well-managed companies that are able to benefit from the rising demand for goods and services in the world's fastest growing economies. The fund's exposure to the energy and commodities sectors has been positive, and over the longer term we believe these shares should perform well, although they could be volatile in the short term.
