This exclusive guide explores the fund's contrarian philosophy that has remained constant through shifting macroeconomic conditions, domestic policy changes, and global upheaval.

Smith takes a long-term view and draws on deep market networks built over the years to cut through market noise and identify undervalued UK companies with transformational potential. This perspective differentiates the strategy from traditional income approaches.

Key insights include:

·       Why UK equities offer compelling value across sectors today 

·       How the UK economy is stronger than headlines suggest 

·       The under-the-radar strength of domestic companies 

·       Smith's process for selecting stocks with performance potential 

·       The investment case for UK equities: diversification, value, and long-term compounding growth

At a time when UK stocks trade at historic discounts, this Focus guide provides perspective from a fund manager who takes a contrarian and long-term view.
