HL research - our view on this fund
Volatile markets and general economic malaise means it has been a tough year. The fund remains biased towards emerging markets growth, and holdings in the technology sector have been beneficial, but this has been offset by recent weakness in the commodities sector. However, we remain positive on the fund's longer-term prospects.
