HL research - our view on this fund
Leon Howard-Spink believes we have reached a point where markets could deliver a good level of growth, albeit at a slow pace in the short term. The fund's bias towards high quality stocks has been helpful this year. There has been a slight change in strategy, away from defensive areas and into sectors such as basic materials, which could recover strongly.
