Schroders are True Potential’s contrarian manager with the team at Schroders looking to invest into the areas of the market which are away from the consensus. This currently has led them to invest into value names predominantly within the UK, Japan and Europe. This value philosophy extends into the fixed income market, where they largely replace the diversification benefits of credit with alternatives to offer uncorrelated returns to the equities within the portfolio. Many of the investment decisions made within the fund such as the lower weighting to bonds and large investment into real assets makes the fund well suited to act as a hedge against any inflationary pressure which may arise.
