Guinness Global Equity Income fund awarded an Elite Rating
Guinness Global Equity Income has been awarded an Elite Rating. Co-managed by Matthew Page and Dr. Ian Mortimer, it is the first fund from boutique investment house Guinness Asset Management Ltd to gain the accolade.
The fund aims to provide investors with both income and capital appreciation and typically consists of around 35 equally-weighted stocks, which are held for three to five years. This means that investments are very different from the benchmark index. It is currently yielding 2.7%.
Ryan Lightfoot-Brown, research analyst at FundCalibre, commented: “We believe the managers’ focus on first choosing the right companies, rather than filtering by dividend yield, gives them a greater chance of finding hidden stock gems. They look for growing, rather than high, income and the equally-weighted portfolio also sets the fund apart from many of its peers.”

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.
