  • Key facts

    The Managed Portfolio Trust is a ‘multi-manager’ portfolio, investing in trusts managed by different investment providers.

    Diversified  - The multi-manager approach ensures a broad mix of holdings, including 'alternative' assets
    Choice  - Investors can choose from income shares or growth shares, each with its own portfolio
    Unique capital structure - Net income in the Growth Portfolio is transferred to the Income Portfolio in exchange for the same amount of capital.  The transfer benefits the income prospects of the income shares and capital growth prospects of the growth shares.
    Experience and continuity  - Fund manager Peter Hewitt has been a professional investor for 30 years and has been at the helm of the Trust since launch
    Flexibility  - to help you meet your changing investment needs, there is an annual option to convert shares between the two portfolios. To learn more click here. 
    Cost effective  - You can save monthly or via lump sums to suit your budget
    Regular Income - Dividends are payable quarterly on the Income Shares


  • Fund manager commentary

    The surprise over the past month has been how well both the UK economy and stockmarket have performed, in the face of the most dire predictions of what could happen to both, in the event of Brexit. The UK consumer has continued to spend and given that accounts for around 70% of gross domestic product (GDP) the background has remained relatively positive. The actions of the Bank of England with a cut in interest rates and a new wave of quantitative easing have been supportive of financial markets - both bond and equity. Against this background the FTSE All Share Index posted a 1.9% gain whilst the FTSE Equity Investment Instruments Index was ahead by 1.8% (both figures are total return).

    The net asset value of the Growth portfolio gained 1.3%, again in total return terms. Leading contributors to performance were Asian Total Return Trust, Standard Life European Private Equity Trust and the Ruffer Investment Company.
