For investment professionals only.

In their monthly video, managers Alex Paget and Simon Evan-Cook give a mid year report on the Downing Fox strategies.

Simon and Alex review the Downing Fox performance, highlighting strong results from their Growth Component, which has outpaced global equities thanks to lower US exposure and balanced investment styles. The Defence Component has delivered steady gains, providing resilience during market volatility. Despite some sector headwinds and currency effects, the outlook remains optimistic, with active management well-positioned for opportunities in the second half of the year - Star Wars analogies included.
