Edison issues review on Henderson Opportunities Trust (HOT)

Henderson Opportunities Trust seeks to identify the best investment
opportunities across the breadth of the UK market. It has a strong bias
towards smaller and early-stage companies with significant potential to grow
into tomorrow's leading British businesses, and a value-driven style that
invests in out-of-favour or under-researched companies. In the past two years,
UK market performance has been driven by the largest companies, with a broad
sell-off in smaller companies, especially those listed on AIM. Many smaller
companies, with strong earnings growth potential, are now trading at very low
valuations and the managers see exciting opportunities for a recovery.

 

In an unconstrained, all-market portfolio, faster-growing, smaller and
early-stage stocks have added significant long-term value to the HOT
portfolio. Many have been identified on the AIM market (c 50% of the
portfolio) where carefully selected stocks such as Serica Energy and Blue
Prism have contributed greatly. However, when investor confidence is lower,
smaller company and growth stock prices tend to be weaker, especially compared
with large global stocks. This has been the case in the past two years,
generating significant under-performance against HOT's broad market benchmark.
