Update: A concentrated portfolio with a convincing record

Finsbury Growth & Income Trust (FGT) is differentiated by its concentrated portfolio, low turnover (c 6% a year over 13 years) and strong long-term record of outperformance. Manager Nick Train looks to buy mainly UK companies with strong brands and intellectual property, and hold them for the very long term to achieve growth in both capital and income. The trust has increased in size significantly over the past three years, with an active programme of share issuance to manage the premium to net asset value.
