More on this equity

Simon Gergel of Allianz Global Investors has managed Merchants since 2006. In this interview he explains why he believes the best opportunities in the UK stock market at present may be found in the very largest companies that have lagged the market as medium-sized stocks have outperformed, as well as in recovery situations where the market is too focused on short-term risks to appreciate the longer-term growth potential. He also explains how the investment trust structure allows managers to build long records of uninterrupted dividend growth, by reserving income in good years that can be used to maintain dividends in less favourable conditions.
