How to invest in the UK's best companies and beat Brexit: Free Spirit fund manager, on the INVESTING SHOW

• e-mail

 Brexit may be a worry on many people’s minds but the UK is still home to companies - both big and small - that can deliver an inflation-beating return, says Rosemary Banyard.

The manager of the Sanford Deland Free Spirit fund is able to hunt for the best shares to invest in across the UK stockmarket, from the giants of the FTSE 100 to the more nimble world of smaller companies.

At the moment that means keeping close tabs on those prepared for Brexit. 

She joins us on the Investing Show to explain how she looks for the best companies to buy, why a moat is important, and why the average post tax returns of 28 per cent for the firms in her fund matter.

She also has some reassuring words on Brexit, whatever happens. Rosemary says: ‘The companies that I am invested in are well advanced in preparations in the event that there is a no-deal Brexit.’

Will trade wars derail markets?

The US and China’s trade spat is a worry for investors, but there are problems in Europe too. Will these concerns derail markets?

Richard Hunter and Simon Lambert take a look.
