The Trust’s investment approach combines holdings across public and private markets, including quoted and unquoted securities, investment companies, funds, debt instruments, cash, short-term deposits and derivatives. No single investment may exceed 15 per cent of total assets at the time of purchase, private market exposure is capped at 30 per cent and up to 50 per cent may be held in bonds, debt or cash equivalents. Gearing may be used up to 25 per cent of total assets, and portfolio turnover is generally low to preserve its long-term focus. Dr Sandy Nairn serves as Executive Director with day-to-day management responsibility, supported by Goodhart Partners LLP as sub-advisor for equity selection and access to private market opportunities. Through disciplined, intensive research, they target securities deemed clearly undervalued on an absolute basis and hold them for five years or more until long-term earnings potential or valuation is realised.
