FGT: Investor Update Webinar

Listen to Portfolio Manager, Nick Train, provide an update for shareholders on the Finsbury Growth & Income Trust portfolio.

Nick discusses recent performance for the Trust, his ongoing conviction in the Trust’s concentrated portfolio of high quality UK listed companies, some specific examples of underlying company business models adapting to a new digital age and where some companies have experienced difficulties over the last few years, and his outlook for the future.

5th December 2025

The Company was founded in 1926 and Nick Train has managed the portfolio since his firm, Lindsell Train, was appointed as Portfolio Manager in 2000.

“Stocks are simple. All you do is buy shares in a great business for less than the business is intrinsically worth, with managers of the highest integrity and ability. Then you own these shares forever”. Warren Buffett

We are seeking to earn exceptional returns for the Company by exploiting other investors’ unwillingness, or inability, to ascribe full strategic value to the companies that meet our selection criteria. Nick Train

In the Portfolio Manager’s views, these are the characteristics that define a quality company, and they form the building blocks for the Finsbury Growth & Income Trust investment approach and portfolio.

Durability: Companies that can prosper through business cycles for many years to come.

High return on equity: Companies with the ability to grow earnings year-in, year-out are favoured over those with rapid short-term growth, but uncertain long-term prospects.

Low capital intensity/high free cash flow generation: Companies that do not have to make heavy balance sheet investment to generate earnings growth.
