Every week, a professional investor tells MoneyWeek where he'd put his money now. This week: Julian Chillingworth, manager of Rathbone Income and Growth Fund

We believe global growth will remain below trend into 2008 but that the underlying fundamentals remain strong. This has guided our recent trading. At present, investor sentiment is fickle, so we focus on high-quality businesses, underpinned by long-term growth stories, where fundamentals remain strong. We aim to get the bulk of our earnings from the underlying growth in these firms over long periods. Any short-term share-price weakness we see as a buying opportunity.
