Portfolio Manager Commentary 

The Trust’s NAV rose 12.1% during the 12-month period ended 31 May 2024, underperforming its reference index which rose by 17.8%. The Trust’s share price rose 6.3% over the same period.   

Stock selection was the key contributor to the Trust’s relative performance. Our investment process leads us to take contrarian positions in undervalued businesses.
