Why we’re banging the table on UK equities

How can a global equity income fund balance dividend strength, capital growth and protection in this uncertain environment? Perhaps not in the way you might think.

Join Graham and Bettina online on Thursday 28th September at 10.30am where they will cover:

- The end of an era: Nearly 20 years of value underperformance
- On sale: One of the lowest starting valuation levels for the fund since launch
