| OUR VIEW: |
|
This fund has a fantastic pedigree going back to 1967, and the manager Simon Bailey has built up a decent track record since then. Even in 2007, a very tough year for smaller companies, he managed to protect the fund from the worst falls encountered by the smaller company index. This will be a tough year for smaller companies, but when they begin to recover, this fund should re-establish its outperformance.
