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.
"We are seeking to earn exceptional returns for the Company by exploiting other investors’ unwillingness, or inability, to ascribe full strategic value to the companies that meet our selection criteria." Nick Train
In the Portfolio Manager’s views, these are the characteristics that define a quality company, and they form the building blocks for the Finsbury Growth & Income Trust investment approach and portfolio.
Durability: Companies that can prosper through business cycles for many years to come.
High return on equity: Companies with the ability to grow earnings year-in, year-out are favoured over those with rapid short-term growth, but uncertain long-term prospects.
Low capital intensity/high free cash flow generation: Companies that do not have to make heavy balance sheet investment to generate earnings growth.
