The Chelverton Consumer Staples strategy invests in companies selling products commonly known as Fast Moving Consumer Goods ('FMCG'). These businesses tend to be asset-light, with strong & enduring brands and very attractive micro-economics. They are also characterised by a steadier earnings profile, particularly during times of economic stress.
Managed by two consumer staples specialists, the strategy offers a potentially lower risk way of investing in equities, still achieving an attractive total return in the long-term.
