- Researched UK and European companies across a range of industries, primarily in the Consumer Staples, Consumer Discretionary, Financials and Industrials sectors. Stock recommendations consistently contributed to the positive performance of the funds.- Looked for sensible management, high returns, improving margins, strong cash flows and healthy balance sheets. A track record of both capital reinvestment and dividend growth were especially important.- Believe in the importance of ESG, with extensive experience of its real world impact. Companies with strong ESG tend to be well run and are able to adapt and grow over the long term. Companies with weak ESG are more likely to suffer from negative shocks.
