The feedback from our recent investment dinner at the London Road Restaurant in Alderley Edge has been superb. My investment manager, Mike Deverell presented on the outlook for commercial property and our external speaker Mitchell Fraser Jones from Invesco Perpetual provided the outlook for UK equities.
Invesco’s UK Income is currently our worst performing UK Large fund over the last 12 months having significantly underperformed our best fund Schroder Income Maximiser. Since the March lows Schroders is up by around 40%, nearly double Invesco's performance!
Invesco made a compelling case as to why the shares within their holding should be well positioned to increase in value in the future whereas some of the holdings in other funds may be overvalued.
We are currently debating rebalancing our UK large portfolio to sell the profits in our best fund and top up the holdings in our worst so that if the tide does turn we can still profit from the volatility.
