I am not a holder but keep an eye on this IT because of the brands they have and the market updates provided by these companies.

FGT seems to suffer in the same way as many other UK Investments that the US equivalent competitor firms and sectors, eg consumer staples trade on higher multiples which is why UK firms are delisting and moving to the US market.

Until the UK returns to favour I cannot see a return to multiples expansion and will keep UK undervalued notionally for a long time.

Well done to the management team here. Last year they were 20th of 23 in their peer group over 3 years. This year they've excelled to become 22/23 against comparable companies for that time period. In the face of such great performance, they will doggedly stick to their stated philosophy

How the manager retains his golden boy image in the financial press escapes me.

I'm sure they'll still get a performance bonus based on some measure though.

Latest free but paid for research by Edison

It points to good times returning, after a very long spell of underperformance.

It certainly is distinct from its peer group (Exhibit 9). Of the 20 companies, it's either top or bottom for every metric bar a couple (charges and discount)

Heineken, a top 10 holding, announced its first quarter results today. Revenue up 8.9% and a high single digit increase in profits. The holdings in the FGT portfolio continue to do well. Hopefully this will be eventually reflected in the trust share price.

Thankfully I sold out of this last year but still read Nicks musings with keen interest. For all he bangs on about quality FGT hasn't performed nearly as well as CTY which is stuffed full of miners, oil and the likes of BAE etc.

The contrarian in me feels maybe to start drip feeding back in over the next few months...In 5 years this will all be another dip on some graph.

Then you need to have a 5 year investment horizon for FGT.

Why do investors pick managers - and then expect them to change their process to suit their personal preferences?

Over 5 years, yes, it's a good observation, though the FTSE has been held back by its constituents.

Over 3 years FTSE 250 wins, FTSE 100 and FGT comparable

Over 1 year, every index outperforms Train

Spangle, FGT has beaten the FTSE 100 and 250 over 5 years with 29% growth plus another 15% if you include divs reininvested. Admittedly not as good as the S&P 500 but still 9% per year. I'd argue that the S&P is also overvalued compared to FGT holdings right now.

Train has a game plan and he's sticking to it.
