Our view on this Fund

This fund does not feature on the Wealth Shortlist of funds our analysts believe have the potential to outperform their peers over the long term. This is not a recommendation to sell; however, if you are thinking of adding to your investments, we believe the Wealth Shortlist is a good place to start. View funds on the Wealth Shortlist »

After taking over the fund in April 2024, we expect the fund to evolve in the coming months to suit Gosden and Morrison's investment philosophy and style. Like the fund's previous manager, they too are value focused, contrarian investors but have historically invested more in smaller and medium-sized companies, which are higher risk than larger firms.

While we think Gosden and Morrison are capable and experienced investors, we don't currently have the required conviction in them to feature on the Wealth Shortlist.

Our view on the sector

Equity income funds are popular with investors. Most aim to generate a rising income, and increase the value of your original investment, over the long term. The income can be paid out, or reinvested in the fund to boost long-term growth. Different fund managers take different approaches to income investing. Some focus on larger companies that are seen to be more stable and have paid regular dividends for many years. Others invest in higher-risk small and medium-sized companies. These might pay a lower income to start with, but have more growth potential. We think carefully chosen equity income funds can form the cornerstone of almost any portfolio.

Performance Analysis

At the beginning of April 2024, Adrian Gosden and Chris Morrison became managers of this fund, replacing existing manager Ben Whitmore. While they too are value focused, contrarian investors, they have historically invested more in higher risk smaller and medium-sized companies, than some peers.

Gosden is an experienced investor and has run UK equity income funds for over two decades

Dividends are important for investors who require income, but can also be relevant for those seeking capital growth. If not required now, dividends can be reinvested to increase the number of shares held, from which more dividends can be taken at a later date. Repeating this process over a long period (known as compounding) is a way to grow capital, though there are no guarantees.

Investment Philosophy

The managers' philosophy is based on the belief that dividends are a key driver of total shareholder returns over the long term. This is due to the powerful effect of compounding on reinvested income. They invest the fund to benefit from the effect of reinvested income through an approach that's focused on identifying stable, cash-generative companies capable of paying a robust and growing dividend.

Process and Portfolio Construction

The managers look for cash generative companies with strong balance sheets and the ability to pay dividends to shareholders. This includes understanding the industries they operate in, and understanding their relationships with customers, suppliers, regulators and the competitive landscape.

The managers place a lot of importance on meeting with company management to get a good understanding of the business, its ambitions and its prospects. They also assess its valuation and consider if the current share price is reflective of the true value of the business.

The manager runs a concentrated portfolio of 35-45 stocks, so each position can influence performance for good or bad which can increase risk.Charges are taken from capital rather than income generated, which could boost income, but reduces the potential for capital growth.
