A word or two from the fund manager, James Thomson

“This is a high-conviction, stockpicking fund that invests in innovative businesses that consistently beat expectations and serve a rapidly growing market. Our approach is entirely flexible – a key strength. In addition, this is an aggressively-managed fund but with a responsible approach to risk. It is nimble enough to exploit market inefficiencies and achieve higher returns for investors, over the long term.”
