‘Thanks’ to the stock market crash, the FTSE 100, the index of the UK’s largest 100 companies, now yields almost 7%*. In this podcast – that was recorded during the market falls in early March – Henry Dixon, manager of Man GLG UK Income fund, talks to us about how sustainable UK dividends are, tells us why he may sometimes invests in a bond instead of an equity and explains his ‘value’ style.
**Please note that this podcast was recorded prior to the Coronavirus-led stock market falls**
Man GLG UK Income fund has a value-driven approach. It invests no less than 80% of the portfolio in UK companies of all sizes, but can also invest in continental European companies that derive a substantial part of their revenues from the UK, and selectively in bonds if the manager believes the risk/reward characteristics of a company’s bond are better than those of its equity.

The content is not intended to be a personal recommendation to buy or sell any fund or trust, or to adopt a particular investment strategy. However, the knowledge that professional analysts have analysed a fund or trust in depth before assigning them a rating can be a valuable additional filter for anyone looking to make their own decisions.
Past performance is not a reliable guide to future returns. Market and exchange-rate movements may cause the value of investments to go down as well as up. Yields will fluctuate and so income from investments is variable and not guaranteed. You may not get back the amount originally invested. Tax treatment depends of your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. If you are unsure about the suitability of any investment you should seek professional advice.
Whilst FundCalibre provides product information, guidance and fund research we cannot know which of these products or funds, if any, are suitable for your particular circumstances and must leave that judgement to you. Before you make any investment decision, make sure you’re comfortable and fully understand the risks.
