Acorn Income Fund - Income and growth with UK small-cap bias
Acorn Income Fund (AIF) is relatively unusual in that it seeks to generate a high income from investing predominantly in smaller companies, a sector more often seen as high-growth and lower yielding. The fund has a dual-portfolio structure, with c 70-80% invested in a portfolio of up to 50 well-financed, cash-generative UK small-caps (biased to those under £500m market cap), and the balance in an income portfolio of securities such as bonds, investment companies and structured notes. While the unexpected failure in March of former largest holding Conviviality highlights the risks inherent in equity investment, strong growth in capital and income from the rest of the portfolio has compensated in absolute terms. AIF’s long-term performance record remains impressive, with an NAV total return almost 150pp above that of its closest peer over 10 years. AIF currently yields 4.0%.
