HL research - our view on this fund
There has been a slight change in strategy, leading to a marked improvement in relative performance since the start of the year. Bill Mott has taken a defensive stance, focusing on companies with strong balance sheets that sell everyday essentials. This includes pharmaceuticals, telecoms and utilities companies, which should be less reliant on a strong economy.
