After several decades in the investment industry, Giles Hargreave recently stepped back from day-to-day management of this fund. Whilst no longer at the helm, Hargreave is still involved with the fund, taking up sector analysis responsibilities and offering guidance and knowledge to the next generation of managers.
Managers Guy Feld and Eustace Santa Barbara invest in small UK companies, including those not listed on the London Stock Exchange. Investing in emerging industries and disruptive sectors, it offers diverse exposure to the companies of tomorrow. These companies are often overlooked by other investors, which provides an opportunity for the managers to uncover hidden gems.
The fund moved from the IA UK Smaller Companies to the IA UK All Companies sector on 1 August 2021. It will remain focused on smaller companies, but the sector change means the managers have more freedom to 'run their winners'. They will be able to continue to invest in their favourite companies as they grow in size and graduate into large or medium-sized companies.
