Fund manager Nick Train discusses his investment strategy for the Finsbury Growth & Income trust, with particular focus on the role of digitalisation and artificial intelligence in the portfolio.

Train explores the trust’s objectives and strategic approach to meeting them, whilst addressing the long-standing undervaluation of UK equities and potential catalysts for a market re-rating.

He explains his preference for a concentrated investment approach over broader diversification and the value creation enabled by data analytics in data-intensive companies.

The conversation examines the trust’s positioning towards AI technologies and its framework for evaluating technology investments.

Train shares insights on several key holdings, including RELX, LSEG, and Rightmove, discussing what makes them compelling investments and how they’re performing against expectations.

We also discuss the consumer element of the portfolio and why Nick sees value in names such as Diageo and Burberry.

The discussion concludes with Train’s outlook for the year ahead and what particularly excites him about future opportunities in the digitalisation and AI space.
