HL research - our view on this fund
Due to the increased volatility in markets this year, the fund has been more defensively positioned. There is a high exposure to cash and a bias towards companies with strong brands and robust business models. Over the longer term, Robin Geffen remains confident on global growth and remains invested in the industrial and energy sectors.
