HL research - our view on this fund
The sell-off in markets this year has been indiscriminate, and the agricultural sector has correspondingly suffered. The fund continues to invest across the agricultural spectrum. The long-term drivers for the sector remain in place, with growing wealth in developing economies leading to increasing demand for food.
