Research

Our Research teams oversee our investment process and the stocks, bonds and funds that we include in our portfolios.

In addition, our Fund Manager team publishes research articles on topics that are of specific interest to investors in our Funds.

It is a virtue of our size that we do not have to have an off-the-shelf view on every investment in the universe. Our process is highly targeted: we are snipers rather than having analytical armies. Instead, we concentrate our efforts on identifying the very best stocks, bonds and funds for our portfolios. Nor do we worry about the composition of stock market indices, believing that size is no guarantee of quality, and we like to think thematically rather than over-analysing shorter-term market noise.

Our focus is on blending quality, value and momentum, to identify attractive investments for our clients.

Private Party

15 April 2025

Tariff Update

One of our maxims is to never waste too much time trying to forecast (guess) macroeconomic variables or geopolitical events, nor how financial assets may react to them. Our discipline lies in focussing on what we can control: ensuring portfolios are diversified and can weather all manner of economic climates, identifying cheaply-valued assets accessed via appropriately priced investment products and identifying well run portfolios managed by talented fund managers.

Spring has sprung

31 March 2025

Spring has sprung and that means the UK government’s Spring Statement has been released. Like with anything it’s a balancing act and should really offer no surprises after the Autumn Budget.

Water Wonderful World

12 December 2023

Water as an investment theme is often overlooked, we (the human race) have set a goal to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water for all (Sustainable Development Goal 6). This is quite a feat considering only 3% of the water on Earth is fresh water and only 0.26% of that is concentrated in lakes, reservoirs and river systems where water is most easily accessible for our economic needs.

The doctor will see you now

08 July 2022

Healthcare is one of the biggest sectors in the global market, and for long-term investors, we think it can also be one of the best. It boasts some of the most innovative and exciting companies in the world, but it also has attractive defensive characteristics.

Chip Chip Hurray!

20 April 2022

Semiconductors are crucial to the modern world. They can be found in almost every electronic device. For that reason, understanding what semiconductors do, what shapes the industry, and the market dynamics within is paramount.

Jargon Busting

The investment world loves a flutter of jargon. It makes commentators sound ever so clever. Yet behind this flamboyant lexicon are often some fairly simple, easy-to-grasp concepts.

AIM’s Coming-of-Age Year

Once More Unto the Breach

17 March 2025

Shakespeare fans will know what the title references this week. Perhaps I am guilty of some hyperbole in comparing our Cost Disclosure Campaign Group to the tired and outnumbered English battling the French at Agincourt. Nonetheless, the purpose of this week’s blog is to issue a hopefully similarly rousing cry to arms to that Shakespeare wrote for Henry V…. as well as a similar result!
