In this monthly commentary video, Alex Paget and Simon Evan-Cook delve deeper into how the MGTS Downing Fox Funds are assembled.

Simon and Alex explain the Unhero's Journey, and their pursuit of the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) fund managers. They discuss why rather than trying to predict which area of the market will do best over the short term, they buy a diverse mix of active fund managers they believe to be exceptional. The objective is that investors get a good outcome, without putting them through the heroics.
