Finsbury Growth & Income Trust - Train puts his money where his mouth is

Finsbury Growth & Income Trust (FGT) has been managed by Lindsell Train since the beginning of 2001.

AAC Clyde Space - Solid start to the year with further order growth

AAC Clyde Space offers exposure to the fast-growing low Earth orbit space market. A solid start to the year and continued order momentum are encouraging. We also note the internal restructuring to promote delivery of the group’s products and services. We expect this combination to drive an improving performance, albeit within the lumpy nature of the business, in turn improving investor confidence and the stock’s valuation.
