Finsbury Growth & Income Trust is marking its 100-year anniversary at a moment of strategic reflection, following a period of weaker relative performance that has tested investor conviction but ultimately reaffirmed support for its long-standing investment approach.
The trust has been managed by Nick Train for the past 25 years, during which time it built a reputation for consistent outperformance through a disciplined focus on high-quality UK companies. Train’s approach has centred on businesses with strong brands, durable competitive advantages and reliable cash generation, with a notable tilt towards consumer-facing sectors. Over two decades this strategy delivered steady results and established the trust as a prominent example of quality-growth investing in the UK market.
Finsbury Growth & Income Trust Plc (LON:FGT) invests in the shares of predominantly UK-listed companies, with the objective of achieving capital and income growth.
