Following the Morningstar OBSR Analyst Ratings Meeting on 13th February 2014, we have awarded the CF Lindsell Train UK Equity fund a Morningstar OBSR Analyst Rating™ of Gold. The fund is managed by Nick Train, who also manages the Finsbury Growth & Income Trust, which also has a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold. Mr Train has managed the OEIC since its launch in July 2006 and has managed the closed-end fund, which utilises the same investment process, since December 2000. The manager seeks to invest in high quality businesses whose assets are intangible and difficult to replicate, with the potential to compound in value over the years. The fund is concentrated in nature and is distinctly long term in its approach. In performance terms the fund seeks to deliver strong compound returns over the long term and to outperform the FTSE All Share Index. In practice the fund's bias to higher quality names which are typically defensive in nature will likely lead to strong performance in weaker markets and may lag in periods when markets are rising rapidly. Overall, we believe that Nick Train’s long-term, distinctive approach and strong focus on delivering consistent, positive risk adjusted returns makes this a strong choice for investors.
