Profile
Guinness is independent and focused purely on investment management. Our in-house economic, industry and company research allows us to take an independent view and not be led by the market. Our size and specialist nature also means we have the ability to respond quickly and efficiently to any market movements. None of our funds are benchmark-constrained, which means we can select stocks without the influence of index weightings. We believe investment managers should have a high conviction about the stocks in their portfolio. All our funds have a relatively high concentration. We have found this approach provides an excellent balance between the benefits of diversification and the risk of diluting investment returns.
