Square Mile introduces the Troy Trojan fund to the Academy

We are very pleased to announce that we have introduced the Troy Trojan fund into the Academy of Funds at an AA rating.

Investors in the fund benefit from a seasoned portfolio manager that has followed a tried and tested investment process since the fund was launched in 2001. He is supported by a strong and experienced team, who all share the same investment philosophy as well as investment ideas. We like the manager's longer-term approach, which means he is not distracted by short-term relative performance. This allows him to be patient and help preserve investors' capital during periods when risks are high and take on more risk when the risk-return potential is more favourable.

Over the long-term the fund has provided returns that have been significantly ahead of the UK equity market, with a lower level of volatility. The manager's approach is a simple and transparent one, which we believe will appeal to many investors. We think this fund is a strong proposition for investors seeking a level of return similar to that of equities over the long term, but are uncomfortable with the level of risk typically associated with investing in this asset class.
