Overview
The Trust aims to maximise capital growth over the long-term from investment primarily in shares of listed UK equities which have the potential to deliver a total return in excess of the FTSE All-Share Index.
The portfolio is a high conviction, concentrated selection of our best ideas in the UK with a bias to mid and smaller cap growth companies, where we intuitively believe the growth spot for UK equities to be.
