It will be available to both European institutional and retail investors with immediate effect. It will hold from 40 to 60 “highest conviction” stocks from the 1,350 universe worth around £1.5 trillion ($3 trillion). It will be managed by Ken Nicholson, whose aim is to provide capital growth over the medium to long term.
