Andrew Jackson, manager of Ecclesiastical UK Equity Growth,says the secret to his recent success has been keeping up a "pretty optimistic stance through wobbles" such as the 2011 euro crisis and concerns over the US Federal Reserve's tapering of its bond-buying programme.
One stock that has performed well is Howden Joinery. Around 26% of the portfolio is in industrial stocks, with 20% in consumer services and 15% in financials. Jackson thinks 2014 will be a tougher year, but that there are still opportunities to find quality bargains.
