In this episode, our director of content, investment trusts Milosz Papst provides a recap of the seven investment principles and proprietary Matrix used by the trust’s managers. He discusses the three growth buckets within the trust’s portfolio: resilient UK-only businesses, leading global businesses and companies growing via international expansion. He highlights that, at the current valuation levels, investors are only paying a modest premium to gain exposure to high-quality UK small-cap growth stocks despite a difficult, low growth economic environment. He also comments on the trust’s long-term record of outperformance versus its reference index and peers, as well as its more recent returns. Finally, he talks about the triple discount arising from low UK valuations vs other geographies, low UK small-cap valuations vs UK large-cap stocks, as well as the discount to NAV at which the trust’s shares currently trade.***********************************************************About ‘Uncovering Trusts’'Uncovering Trusts': is a podcast run by Edison analysts released every two weeks.
