”‹SL Capital Partners, the manager of Standard Life Private Equity Trust (SLPE), sees the outlook for Europe improving. However, it thinks that some form of market disruption could occur during the next one to two years. This might lead to greater volatility and better prices for those of its underlying funds that wish to make investments. SLPE has been selective with its primary commitments (capital for new funds) and purchases of existing funds, aiming to be well positioned in advance of any market setback (see page 3).

Fidelity Emerging Markets – The long and short of emerging markets

Fidelity Emerging Markets Limited (FEML) gives investors access to a wide range of emerging market shares.

Global Opportunities Trust – Cash pile grows as valuations climb

Strong performance from Global Opportunities Trust’s equity portfolio drove solid NAV growth in 2025. Shareholders also benefited as the trust’s discount to NAV narrowed, though it remains wide. Noting higher valuations in the portfolio and broader market, the manager took profits and increased cash, leaving the trust ready to act if markets fall. The trust is no longer self-managed, which should allow greater flexibility with the use of both gearing and derivatives. Currently, the manager sees opportunities in mid-cap companies with unique valuation drivers and low sensitivity to the ec...

Lindsell Train Investment Trust – Durability in times of volatility

Market volatility at the start of 2025 – brought about by tariff uncertainty and the release of the Chinese AI model DeepSeek – provided an interesting snapshot into the potential performance of the companies that Lindsell Train Investment Trust (LTI) and its manager, Lindsell Train Limited (LTL), invest in during times of market stress. The durability and resilient cash flows, which are hallmarks of LTL investments, proved popular with investors, with many holdings recording large share price gains in the first few months of the year – counter to the wider market. Others did not do quite a...
