The advantage of this bench system is that it means the management team know which strategies to consider next should they need to replace a strategy within the portfolio – for reasons varying from portfolio adjustments to changes at the underlying management company.
While each sub-investment is made with a long-term view, factors like these can and do crop up, with the managers moving dynamically to respond.
Earlier in 2021, they added two new managers to the core portfolio. One of these, Metropolis Capital, is a UK-based boutique with its managers describing themselves as value investors with a private equity approach to public markets.
In practice this means that they seek returns through cash dividends and long-term market recognition of the fundamental value of their investments. Often, they seek businesses which are still founder managed.
SUMMARY
Kepler Trust Intelligence will be joined by seven investment trusts for its forthcoming online event on Thursday 30th September, all of which have the potential to benefit from narrowing discounts, and each with a compelling argument to support the case for that to happen.
By contrast, the other new manager, Sands Capital, is a large independent investment manager based in the US. It focuses on companies from around the world that can sustain above- average growth over the long term.
These two new additions alone reflect the diverse and idiosyncratic nature of the Alliance Trust manager suite and show how the trust’s managers combine several distinct points of view into one balanced portfolio.
This balanced approach is paying off for the trust, which is ahead of the MSCI ACWI NR USD benchmark over one and five years.
