Finsbury Growth & Income Trust PLC (FGT) is a London Stock Exchange listed investment company seeking to provide investors with exceptional returns through a highly concentrated portfolio of world-class UK companies.
The Company was founded in 1926, and Nick Train has managed the portfolio since his firm, Lindsell Train, was appointed as Portfolio Manager in 2000. Nick, and Deputy Portfolio Manager, Madeline Wright’s, investment approach is focused on identifying “quality” UK companies that have strong brands and/or a powerful market franchise, and that are priced below their estimate of the company’s true worth, and hold them for the very long term.
Investment themes and portfolio holdings
The portfolio includes a significant emphasis on companies executing ambitious and credible tech-led growth opportunities, alongside a high exposure to what they term “investment diamonds” – high-quality companies often offering premium consumer goods or services and which own assets that are highly likely to stand the test of time. This means FGT’s portfolio offers investors exposure to a genuinely active investment strategy and the unique opportunity to own high-quality growth businesses when compared to their relative exposures as part of the FTSE All-Share Index.
Deputy Portfolio Manager Madeline Wright, provides and insight into the key themes and holdings in the portfolio. Watch below.
We hope the combination of these investment diamonds with our collection of UK-listed digital growth companies will both protect shareholders’ wealth and drive the creation of fabulous new wealth over time.
